#solar eclipse june 2020

[bread--quest]

the thought that players are going to be incinerated next season and new fans won’t even know to say RIV or know what it means is physically viscerally horrifying to me so. here’s a story.

it was season 3. for two seasons, players had been being incinerated in alarming numbers. the hades tigers were one of a few teams to have not yet lost a player to the flames.

the tigers had many good batters, but a particular fan-favorite was landry violence. we only have one season of stats for him by SIBR’s records, but those stats say that in that one season he had a 0.301 batting average and hit 27 home runs. he was on several leaderboards. the tigers lore for him was that he was the spirit of Violence itself.

it was game 2 of the final series. tigers vs. millennials. (in the millennials stadium. not that anyone remembers.) 1-1. the tigers were so close to victory, and they still hadn’t lost a single player.

except. then. at the bottom of inning 5.

[ID: A screenshot of a Blaseball game between the Tigers and the Millennials. The weather is Solar Eclipse. The Tigers have 5 runs, and the Millennials have 2 Famous Owens is pitching, Richardson Games is batting. The Game Log reads “Rogue Umpire incinerated Tigers hitter Landry Violence! Replaced by Paula Turnip”. End ID.]

the tigers went on to win the game. 12-5. they won the next one, too. they won the championship. but they lost landry.

saying “rest in peace” wasn’t enough. the tigers didn’t want peace. players getting incinerated left and right wasn’t peace.

instead, they started saying rest in violence.

[ID: A series of messages from the blaseball discord. They are all sent on June 8th of 2020. They read (in all caps) “Rest in Violence Landry”, “Paula will bring about great violence”, “Never Look Back”, “Boom”, and “Vengeance for Violence!” End ID.]

the saying caught on.

[ID: A screenshot showing 9130 results for the search “Rest in Violence” in a discord server. End ID.]

it caught on so much, in fact, that the developers made it the official game subtitle for the beta Season 8.

[ID: The old Blaseball header, with the beta tag attached to the end of it. The subheader is “The Discipline Era”, and the subheader of that is “Rest in Violence”. End ID.]

and when the Hall Stars rose....

[ID: A screenshot from the Season 10 Day X game. It shows the Hall Stars team HP bar gaining HP, and the Game Log reading “Landry Violence rises...Their spirit is added to The Hall Stars.” End ID.]

they rose in violence.

and that is why we say Rest In Violence. RIV Anastasia Isarobot: a horrible mistake we will make again and again.

Welcome to the Shadow of the Eclipse

October 4-31, 2023

Some introductory notes

The “shadow of the eclipse” is a time period lasting from 10 days before the first eclipse, to three days after the final eclipse. It is recommended not to start anything new, or schedule anything important, during these days - as usual I refer everyone to the 1981 wedding of Lady Diana Spencer to the Prince of Wales, as an example.

Of course we live in a place/time which scoffs at letting astrology help with the timing of events - therefore don’t lose hope if something falls unavoidably within the eclipse shadow. Just be prepared.

I wanted to take a more thorough approach to delineation, this time. I hope it’s helpful.

South Node Solar Eclipse

A solar eclipse happens when the New Moon lies close (in the Zodiac) to either the North Lunar Node, or to the South one. It occurred to me to do a little research on whether which Node is involved, makes any difference - and yes, it does.

Astrologers call the South Node “the dragon’s tail” - Steven Forrest calls the South Node, “the dragon’s butt” - because here we are “pooping out” what we don’t need and can’t use. (One person’s poop, however, is another person’s fertilizer.)

Eclipses conjunct the South Lunar Node, like the October 14 one, have an outflowing (outpooping?) of energy. They tend to feature external events which we have to “rise up to.”

If you’d like to note how these have affected you in the past (always a good idea to check “what happened last time”), here is a list of the previous South Node solar eclipses in this century:

December 14, 2001, 22°56’ Sagittarius

December 4, 2002, 11°58’ Sagittarius

November 23, 2003, 1°14’ Sagittarius

October 14, 2004, 21°06’ Libra

October 3, 2005, 10°19’ Libra

September 22, 2006, 29°20’ Virgo

September 11, 2007, 18°25’ Virgo

August 1, 2008, 9°32’ Leo

July 22, 2009, 29°27’ Cancer

July 11, 2010, 19°24’ Cancer

June 1, 2011, 11°02’ Gemini

July 1, 2011, 9°12’ Cancer

May 20, 2012, 0°21’ Gemini

May 10, 2013, 19°31’ Taurus

April 29, 2014, 8°52’ Taurus

March 20, 2015, 29°27’ Pisces

March 9, 2016, 18°56’ Pisces

February 26, 2017, 8°12’ Pisces

February 15, 2018, 27°08’ Aquarius

January 6, 2019, 15°25’ Capricorn

December 26, 2019, 4°07’ Capricorn

December 14, 2020, 23°08’ Sagittarius

December 4, 2021, 12°22’ Sagittarius

October 25, 2022, 2°00’ Scorpio

October 14, 2023, 21°08’ Libra

Going down that list was a very uncomfortable trip down memory lane for me. When those South Node eclipses affected me, it was generally a harbinger of some difficult “external event” which I had little to no control over - which is not the same thing as saying “it wasn’t my fault.” I brought some of it on myself due to bad decisions. Some karma chickens coming home to roost, in other words. Not all of them were dire, though. One in particular gave me something of a respite from what had been happening in my life - it was conjunct my natal 12th House cusp.

Saros Series “7 South”

This eclipse is part of Saros Series “7 South.” Bernadette Brady writes,

The individual experiencing this series will find that huge obstacles will suddenly and easily clear or, on the negative side, a pending potential crisis will suddenly manifest and move through his or her life very rapidly. Either way the individual will feel that everything is moving at great speed. (The Eagle and the Lark)

Previous Saros “7 South” eclipses in Ms M’s lifetime:

September 11, 1969, 18°53’ Virgo

September 23, 1987, 29°34’ Virgo

October 3, 2005, 10°19’ Libra

Not quite as depressing for me personally.

Whatever Shall We Do?

1) Determine which of your natal houses this eclipse falls in.

2) Determine whether the eclipse makes an aspect to anything in your chart. Use a 1° orb. In my case, the conjunctions, squares, sesquiquads (135°), inconjuncts, and oppositions made the most obvious impacts.

3) If there is a close aspect to a planet, check to see which house(s) that planet rules. One South Node eclipse was conjunct the ruler of my natal 4th House, and I moved three months later.

4) Avoid strenuously negative thoughts. If you put a lot of energy into anticipating that something is going to be horrible and painful and disastrous, well, guess what - that’s exactly what’s going to happen. If you catch yourself falling into a panic, try to refocus the energy into “the best possible outcome.”

hi . what is blaseball. looking it up i cant find anything except that it Ended which is extremely unhelpful . but i'm intrigued by ur au

YAYAYYYYY YOU'VE ACTIVATED MY AUTISM TRAP CARD. whisp i also have an uncompleted beastlife one that i'll offer you here once i'm done explaining.

so! blaseball was (rest in violence) a live play video game that combined aspects of roleplay, fandom, and TTRPGS with text based video games, and it ran from July 2020-June 2023 (specifically starting on july 20th, hence my reblogging of all my au posts today). blaseball was a surrealist horror game based off of america's favorite past time, baseball! in order to play blaseball, you had to make an account on the website and choose one of 24 teams to be a fan of. you then watched as the seasons played out, with one full season taking one real life week.

each season was made up of 99 games plus a postseason of indeterminate length. games were played every hour on the hour, with the regular season playing out monday-friday. the post season had it's wild card rounds on friday afternoon, and then the rest of the post season played out on saturday. sunday had no games, with the entire day being reserved for the election results, which came out at 3 PM EST every sunday.

what is the election? well, this is where the fans come in! throughout the season, you could bet on games (as well as do some other stuff that's not wildly relevant) in order to get coins. you could use these coins to buy votes, and use these votes to change the game in the election. each election had a few things you could vote on (two in the first 11 seasons of the game, and 3 in the last 13. i will only be discussing the first two of them here, as the third isn't super relevant.) the first was decrees, of which there were usually 3-6, and they were new rules that would apply to the entire league. only 1 or 2 would pass every season, based on which got the majority of the league's votes. the second was blessings, which acted as boosts for your team and/or handicaps for your opposing teams. there were usually 10+ blessings available, and they would all (usually) be rewarded to the team that put the most votes into them.

elections are where the surrealist horror comes in. in the first election of blaseball, there was one decree titled "open the forbidden book". it had no description, and fans were repeatedly warned against voting for it. as you may expect, it got 60% of the vote immediately. upon it passing, we were punished for our hubris. the moab dessert became a hellmouth, the world began to fracture, and umpires began to be able to "go rogue" during games played under solar eclipses. when umps go rogue, they straight up kill players by setting them on fire. the best player in the league (at the time) was also instantly killed as further punishment for opening the book. so yeah, that sure is where the horror came in!

there's a lot more that happened after all that, but that's the basic primer. if you want more, i'd really recommend the blaseball roundup, which was a recap show made by the company that made the game, the game band. it covers seasons 1-22, so almost the entire game, and it was made by an in universe character (the anchor), so you get a good grasp on the vibes of the whole thing as well. there are 5 episodes, all under 20 minutes, so it's not too much of a commitment and it's a lot of fun.

a quick primer on how my aus work- each au (the life series, empires, and hermitcraft) are separate universes from each other, all running simultaneously alongside one another. they pretty much just follow the plot of actual blaseball, but with a focus on these new guys instead of that aforementioned plot. some of them do fill in for actual characters, but the majority of them do not, and the ones who do fill in for those actual characters just go through said character's story beats.

now, beast life au! i'm just gonna copy paste all my google doc into this under the cut, as a special treat.

SATURDAY LEAGUE

Dingo: Batter for the Hellmouth Sunbeams. Dingo becomes much more boar when the Hellmouth opens, having been a pretty normal human prior. Had an unhelpful modifier rerolled during the Expansion Era, giving them a Debt. Thus far the only victim has been Bree, but the Debt remains.

Modifications: Debt, Life of the Party

Kiki: Pitcher for the Yellowstone Magic. Has spearheaded many a resurrection, drawing the ire of a lot of the league to the Magic, as players with Debt keep ending up on the team because of him. Sonic and Kiki both picked up the Siphon modifier at the same time, but Kiki makes much less use of it. His only successful saves as a Seeker have been for Fishie. He also picks up the Traitor modifier during Expansion for. Reasons.

Modifications: Siphon, Seeker, Traitor

Sonic: Starts as a pitcher for the Boston Flowers. Very, very good at what she does, partially due to pure skill and partially due to Siphoning a lot of other players. They rocket up the Idol Board as a result of their skill. They spend at least some amount of time Shelled as a result, though she gets pecked out pretty frequently as well. He is taken by the Shelled One to play for the PODS and falls to the Charleston Shoe Thieves after Season 10, Day X, where she has stayed since. At some point in the Expansion Era, Sonic Shelled Null, hence Space’s one sided hatred of them. 

Modifications: Siphon, Parasite, Honey Roasted

John: Batter for the Miami Dale.

Modifications: Redacted, Electric, Life of the Party

Fishie: Pitcher for the Baltimore Crabs. Fishie has a penchant for being swept Elsewhere, having had two particularly extensive stints that resulted in her returning with significant memory loss until the Scattered modification wore off. The first time lasted about a season, and the second one got close to it, but both of these stays were cut short by Kiki dragging her back. Unrelated to the above, but due to the carcinization, she has a crab arm.

Modifications: Scattered [sometimes], Life of the Party

Phia: Batter for the Houston Spies. Phia lies low most of the time, managing to avoid the ire and love alike of the fans, which is pretty much entirely to faer benefit. Phia is/was the member of the Spies that Broku is/was closest to post-alternation, as she didn’t know Oku well at all and didn’t have the cognitive dissonance after all that. Pregame ritual is making stew.

Modifications: 0 No (this is technically a Blood Type and not a Modifier, but whatever)

Null: Batter for the New York Millennials.

Modifications: Shelled (that one time), Redacted

Space: Batter for the Hawai’i Fridays.

Modifications: None

Joe: Batter for the LA Unlimited Tacos. Joe was one of the victims of the Wyatt Mason-ing, an event where the universe fragmented and the entire LA Tacos team was turned into the worst player on the team briefly. Don’t worry about it. Joe was one of the players who did not get their full name returned to them, with the last name “Flyaway” being replaced by “Mason”. After the fact, Joe had a relatively normal time as the Tacos deliberately put themselves through God’s silliest hell. Joe became a Receiver (hooked up to the Microphone, which is possessed by the previously mentioned Wyatt Mason, again, don’t worry about it) due to nebulous shenanigans mostly because I thought it’d be funny. Receivers have a lot of weirdness going on that I think suits Joe’s “guy from the real world who got put in here” vibe, just trust me.

Modifications: Receiver

Bree: Batter for the Breckenridge Jazz Hands. Oku and Bree were together before season 4, when Oku was affected by the Alternate Reality decree. Bree originally attempted to maintain a relationship with Broku, which did not work, and Bree took this very poorly. Bree made an attempt to get herself alternated as well, but players have no voting power, and Bree’s stats weren’t enough of a nightmare that it occurred to any Fans to Alternate her. At some point in the Expansion Era, Bree was killed by Dingo, and now makes frequent ghost appearances via Haunting Echidna.  

Modifications: None

Oak: Batter for the Hades Tigers.

Modifications:

Oku: Batter for the Houston Spies. Oku and Bree were together until season 4, when Oku was affected by the Alternate Reality decree and Alternated, switching places with Broku. This obviously put significant strain on the relationship, and Broku has become far more involved with/close to the Spies in the wake. Broku also potentially got Redacted? Not sure about that yet.

Modifications: Alternate, Redacted[?]

Echidna: Batter for the Hades Tigers. 

Modifications: Haunted

Gery: Batter for the Tokyo Lift.

Modifications:

Moch: Batter for the Seattle Garages.

Modifications:

Mei: Batter for the Mexico City Wild Wings.

Modifications: Redacted, Life of the Party

FRIDAY LEAGUE

Dingo: Pitcher for the Atlantis Georgias, originally a pitcher for the Dallas Steaks

Modifications: None

Kiki: Batter for the Boston Flowers

Modifications: None

Tom: Batter for the Hades Tigers

Modifications: Siphon, Supperyummy

Sonic: Pitcher for Hellmouth Sunbeams

Modifications: None

Eker: Batter for the Kansas City Breath Mints

Modifications: None

Phia: Batter for the Miami Dale

Modifications: None

Viz: Batter for the Houston Spies from their shadows, spent a season on the Canada Moist Talkers but went back

Modifications: None

Jack: Batter for the New York Millennials 

Modifications: Haunted

Echidna: Batter for the San Diego Saltines who died in Pre-History and Haunted Jack for a while

Modifications: None

[ARTICLE] Review: K-pop group MAMAMOO keep the ‘Mic On’ for a powerful performance during Bay Area concert debut

At their packed Oakland Arena stop during their debut “My Con” world tour, veteran K-pop girl group Mamamoo put the spotlight on one of the most underutilized concert instruments: the wireless microphone.

It’s no secret that many K-pop performances rely heavily on pre-recorded vocals, but Mamamoo bucked the trend Friday, June 2, serving up live vocals as well as looks. Hitting the stage in white blouses, bustiers and toreador leggings tucked into black knee-high boots, the quartet — Solar, Moonbyul, Wheein and Hwasa — was dressed to slay. But it was vocal performances on songs like “Make Me Happy,” “Paint Me” and “Star Wind Flower Sun” where they killed.

Mamamoo’s tour title “My Con” forms a portmanteau of “Mic On,” a nod to the name of their latest EP and the way they used their mics onstage. Moonbyul offered additional rationale that received lusty cheers from fans.

“The meaning of the tour is that Moomoos (Mamamoo fans) all over the world are coming together to make this concert happen,” she told the audience through a translator.

For more than two hours, Mamamoo showed why they’re one of the most fearless and well-rounded groups in K-pop since breaking onto the scene in 2014. Solar and Wheein form a potent singing tandem — Solar has R&B in her veins, and Wheein is a pop expressionist — while Hwasa and Moonbyul are double agents, contributing vocals and raps.

Mamamoo’s choreography was also satisfying with top-class execution and clean lines despite carrying handheld mics during the show. They were visually accentuated by eight female backup dancers and four outfit changes throughout the night.

The group’s live vocals gave credence to the “mic on” theory, though some assistive vocals could be detected to the naked ear, especially when members lowered their handhelds to complete a choreographed move.

While Mamamoo didn’t perform with a live band, the instrumental tracks sounded freshly recorded and retooled, which gave their songs a punchy, spontaneous feel — from the drumstick count-off to the big clattery toms-and-cymbals finishes.

Mamamoo injected fresh life into the solo medley portion of the show, by individually covering each other’s key solo tracks: Solar sang Wheein’s “Water Color” and Wheein performed Solar’s “Honey,” while Hwasa covered Moonbyul’s “Eclipse” and Moonbyul did Hwasa’s “Twit.”

The songs even received their own distinctive spotlight and dance routine, showing off each member’s versatility and creativity. The group came together for a performance of four more solo snippets, with Hwasa’s “Maria” receiving the biggest response as the performers executed Hwasa’s iconic body rolls during the number, a move akin to seeing James Brown do the splits.

But the night didn’t all go according to script. During the upbeat “Starry Night,” the group got a case of the giggles and broke character, before regaining composure to finish the song. Also, there were lulls as well as lolz. Three interstitial pre-recorded video segments (“VCRs” in K-pop speak) slowed momentum to a crawl. One segment lasting seven minutes — an eternity in concert time — showed group members enjoying a meal and talking shop. These would have been better served as pre-show entertainment for folks settling into their seats.

With nine years of music to pull from, it’s fair to assume that some fan favorites would not make the cut. But leaving the 2020 pick-me-up anthem “Dingga” off the setlist felt like a crucial miss. The quarantine-era hit was meant to be played in this exact setting, with everyone back in a concert hall again.

If the main concert served up stylistic amuse-bouches, the four-song encore was a pop feast. Reappearing in denim and tour merch, the women vibed along with the audience to “Travel,” “Yes I Am,” “L.I.E.C,” and closed with their effervescent early hit, “Um Oh Ah Yeah.”

The encore summed up nearly a decade of influence, showing how all-around talent, experience, fearlessness and versatility are keys to longevity.

IS THE KETU THE MOST MALEFIC CHARACTER IN THE ASTROLOGICAL FAMILY?

Ketu stands for the subtle energies that either enable us to overcome our karmas or force us to confront our most potent and harmful karmas, either individually or collectively. The top astrologer in India has determined the course of our current astrological conflict with Ketu.

 Rahu and Ketu, two of the top astrologers in India, designate the zodiacal nodes or locations where eclipses of the Sun and Moon can take place. A solar eclipse happens when the New Moon coincides with one of the nodes. A lunar eclipse happens when the full Moon coincides with one of the nodes according to the best astrologer in India.

 Every year, there are often two sets of eclipses, spaced about six months apart. The nodes are not fixed; instead, they wander backward around the zodiac in cycles of 18.6 years. The Moon returns to the same node in 27 days.

 Strong Ketu:

Ketu is given a faint Mars influence that is mostly complemented by hints of Saturn. On a personal level, it leads to poor judgement, self-criticism, isolation, harm, and poisons. On a collective level, it causes wars, revolutions, and constrictive, fanatic viewpoints. Rahu stands for the media, entertainment, and the power to sway the masses, whereas Ketu represents mathematics, computers, research, and technology on a collective level today.

 Ketu is the most significant planet in the chart for showing Self-realization because it is the highest level planet that offers spirituality, emancipation, and psychic knowledge in addition to astrology. The most potent spiritual influence in the chart might be said to be Ketu.

 Because it puts a stop to everything, it is frequently referred to as the "terminator." Ketu possesses the power of negation, which at the highest spiritual level is the emancipation from body and mind, also known as Nirvana, and at the most severe human level is suicide. Ketu can represent death, either physically or psychologically, or it might represent transcendence to a greater reality.

 Ketu Transcends the Mind:

Ketu bestows inner abilities of perception, like the ability to see without an eye, hear without an ear, or breathe without a breath. The highest level of great Yogis and sages, including the opening of the third eye and crown chakras, are indicated by Ketu. On a more general level, however, Ketu represents the forces of opposing views and ideals that breed conflict and violence while also arousing strong subliminal feelings.

 Ketu is now traversing the galactic centre. The coronavirus pandemic has been the most notable event. It has a peculiar name since Rahu, who is behind Ketu in the zodiac, joins this pandemic as a result of Rahu's retrograde influence on all of those planets.

However, even once Ketu enters Scorpio in September 2020 and turns retrograde, it will still be powerful, offering possibly greater potential for transformation for those who are receptive to it, with a new Kalasarpa Yoga developing in early 2021. The greatest opportunity for transformation will arise when Ketu crosses Jyeshta (Kali's star) and Rahu simultaneously crosses Rohini (Lakshmi's star). June 2021 will be the focal point of this.

 In any event, its passage through the Galactic Center and Mula Nakshatra has highlighted the most significant issues facing humanity and civilization, such as our beliefs, aspirations, and identities. It will encourage transcendence, which, if we reject it, may lead to annihilation. According to the famous astrologer in India, how we use the Ketu energy in humanity today will determine whether this century is coloured with darkness or light. This is especially true now that Ketu is moving into the sign of Scorpio.

Final Score Colorado Avalanche 5 – 1 Utah Hockey Club NHL 2024 25 Season t shirt

Eunice and I wrote three novels in 2021. Two of Final Score Colorado Avalanche 5 – 1 Utah Hockey Club NHL 2024 25 Season t shirt are slated for publication in 2022, the third in 2023. We’ve outlined four novels we plan to write in 2022, in two different unrelated genres. We are even planning to live-stream the start of one of those novels, which should be fun and interesting. The Barcelona trip the extended polyamorous network had planned for 2020, that got scuttled thanks to COVID, is (tentatively) back on for 2022. We still have reservations at the castle outside Barcelona. A dozen kinky people in a castle in Spain soubds like a blast. My wife and I are planning a cross-country trip photographing abandoned amusement parks. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the bottom fell out of the amusement park industry, and scores of amusement parks across the country were simply abandoned, left to decay. Today they’re weird and overgrown and beautiful. We want to do photos of about a dozen of them, and possibly publish a coffee table book.

NFL New Orlean Saints Football Santa Claus Hohoho Christmas Pattern shirt

The North Node of Gemini is in Gemini, pushing us to find clarity in matters while moving toward greater understanding of NFL New Orlean Saints Football Santa Claus Hohoho Christmas Pattern shirt. This means that the South Node of Destiny will be in Sagittarius, which means we are releasing outdated philosophies. There will be four eclipses in 2021. These are action packed luminaries in the form of a Solar Eclipse, which is an intense New Moon, and a Lunar Eclipse, which is an energetically charged Full Moon. Each will bring major circumstances in situations and relationships to light. The Eclipses will occur on these dates: The Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius on May 26th, Solar Eclipse in Gemini on June 10th, Lunar Eclipse in Taurus on November 19th, and a Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius December 4th. Mercury Retrograde will occur on January 30th to February 21st in Aquarius, May 29th to June 22nd in Gemini, and September 27th to October 23rd in Libra. During this time, we’ll change and evolve our innermost perspectives and ideology.

Bunch'a World Facts

So because I'm an idiot and only just now realized that you guys probably think me setting Anthony's birthday as "13/02" was a mistake or that it meant February 13th... it doesn't. Plus, the fact that I said the date of Adolescence's death was "November 1st, 3475". Lemme do a lil' bit of a dive. You can ignore this if you want but it does give a lot of context. The facts are under the cut because this is a long post

1) The year is indeed, 3475. This is because this is faaaar in the future. Things have barely advanced in technology. There's still no flying cars, because the real humans wiped themselves out over the span of 2020 - 3049. There's only this huge piece of land + A small amount of islands left. The rest is underwater and everyone speculates, making a whole spectacle of it. There are a lot of species of humanoids now, but namely what can be called "Neo-Humans" 2) There are very few countries left because the two main gods tried to remake the world with what land was left. (I imagine the conversation went something like; "Hey hon... what the FUCK IS THIS?" "What?" "WHY IS RUSSIA NEAR THE BOTTOM?" "Is... I-Isn't Russia always near the bottom...?" "LIFE, BABY, RUSSIA WAS THE BIGGEST, ALMOST TOPMOST COUNTRY-") I'll have a map made soon. 3) Every species ages weirdly as hell now. Neo-Humans age regularly... until they reach age 20. Every five years after age 20, is an actual physical year older. Take Brian. He's physically 32. In a calendarly sense or whatever the hell... he's 80 years old. So Tyler, the oldest, would be 95 years old, even though physically he's 35. So on and so forth. 4) The calendar is a 13 month calendar, dubbed the SAOL calendar. Saol is the Irish word for "Sun". Each month is 28 days/4 weeks. The months in order are January, February, March, April, May, June, SOL (the new month), July, August, September, October, November, December. It takes a slight bit to get used to seeing, but that's how this goes. 5) Holidays have moved, been changed, or been added. In order, we have; - Aquarius season, January 15th - February 14th. The festival lasts three days at the start of the season, January 15th - 17th - Valentine's Day, February 14th - Pisces season, February 15th - March 14th. Festival dates being February 15th - 17th - Aries season, March 15th - April 14th. Festival dates being March 15th - 17th - Saints Day, formerly Saint Patrick's Day, which is to commemorate any of the gods you'd like, March 17th - Easter, which lasts for two days, April 1st - 2nd - Taurus season, April 15th - May 14th. Festival dates being April 15th - 17th - Mother's Day, May 12th - Gemini season, May 15th - June 14th. Festival dates being May 15th - 17th - The entirety of June is Pride Month - Father's Day, June 12th - Cancer season, which starts on June 15th, is paused for the whole "Sun Month" (Sol), and resumes from July 1st - July 14th. Festival dates being June 15th - 17th - The Sun Festival, which is two weeks to commemorate the Sun Goddess and the Solar Eclipse God, Sol 8th - 21st - Leo season, July 15th - August 14th. Festival dates being July 15th - 17th - Virgo season, August 15th - September 14th. Festival dates being August 15th - 17th - Libra season, September 15th - October 14th. Festival dates being September 15th - 17th - Scorpio season, October 15th - November 14th. Festival dates being October 15th - 17th - Halloween, October 28th - Sagittarius season, November 15th - December 14th. Festival dates being November 15th - 17th - Thanksgiving, November 19th - The Moon Festival, which is two weeks to commemorate the Moon Goddess (Wife of the Sun Goddess) and the Lunar Eclipse God (Twin brother to the Solar Eclipse God), December 8th - 21st - Capricorn season, December 15th - January 14th. Festival dates being December 15th - 17th - Christmas Eve, December 24th - Christmas Day, December 25th - New Year's Passover, December 28th - January 1st To those of you who genuinely read this far, I appreciate you all so, so much

hi op! first things first, jaylen sweep. second things second, your explanation! i'll do the short version first, and under the cut i'll include a longer section that explains jaylen's place in it better.

so! blaseball was a video game/simulator run by the game company the game band from july of 2020 to june of last year. the game was a fantasy baseball simulator that combined elements of fandom, ttrpgs, and just plain video games to create an extremely unique experience.

blaseball was played on blaseball.com. in order to play, you would sign up for the website and choose a team to be a "fan" of. there were 24 teams with a varied number of players you could chose between. once you chose a team, you could watch your team and all the other ones play games on the website and bet on these games in order to earn coins (in game currency, blaseball did not include any microtransactions, to be clear.) each season of blaseball was made up of 99 games. every team would play a game every hour, on the hour, from monday to friday. after the regular season concluded, qualifying teams would move into the post season, culminating in the championship that played out sometime on saturday.

another extremely important aspect of blaseball was the election. as you earned coins, you could buy things from the shop, mostly things that helped you earn more coins. but you could also buy votes. votes could be used in this aforementioned election during which you could either cast votes to win buffs for your team/players and/or debuffs for other teams/their players. you could also cast votes in "decrees" which would change the rules of the game, which is where jaylen comes in, though that will go under the cut.

the fandom/ttrpg aspect of playing blaseball came in with the characters themselves. every blaseball player was represented by text on a screen and little else. they had stats about how good they were at the game, and later on they got things like a pre-game ritual and a coffee style to better identify them, but for a long time, players were just their names. as such, fans were allowed and encouraged to build these players into whatever their hearts desired. there is a wiki that collected the more popular interpretations of pretty much every character (of which there are many) if you'd like to take a look at jaylen's page, or anyone else's.

now. about jaylen. and elections. (btw, as i said above, fans were allowed to interpret characters to be anything they wanted. the most prominent interpretation of jaylen, particularly after she was resurrected, had her as a person using she/her pronouns, but this was far from everyone's perception of her. like, there are a ton of screenshots of people referring to her with he/him pronouns from before my time in the fandom. both because i interpret her as such and because it's the interpretation that the person who sent propaganda had, i'm going to be using she/her pronouns here.)

the first election blaseball ever had included three rule changing decrees, only one of which is important. that decree was titled "open the forbidden book". unlike the other decrees, it had no description about what this decree would do, just the sentence "it is forbidden". despite numerous warnings against this course of action, a whopping 60% of the fanbase chose to open the book (this is whopping, for blaseball. it's hard to get majorities.)

upon the opening of the book, numerous things happened as punishment. it was forbidden after all! one of these things was the creation of solar eclipses and rogue umpires. solar eclipses were the first weather condition blaseball games could be played during, and for the next two seasons, it would be the only one. during solar eclipses, there was a chance that an umpire would go rogue and incinerate a player. this is exactly what it sounds like, and it would take the player off of their team and out of play entirely, replacing them with someone new.

the first victim of incineration was the best player in the league at the time, chosen to be the first victim because she was the best, jaylen hotdogfingers. jaylen was a pitcher for the seattle garages at the time, and no one was particularly happy about their star pitcher getting smote, but at the time, there was nothing to be done about it.

but when season 6 came around, the game band introduced a new mechanic: idols. everyone could now choose a player to "idol" and buy different items that would give you money when your idol did x thing. you could idol any player that you had the page of, since it was just a button on their page you needed to press. as fans discovered a few days into the season, this also included dead players.

after confirming this was a feature and not a bug that would be shortly patched out, the fans hatched a plan. during season 6, there was a blessing called "lottery pick", which stated that the team who won would steal the 14th player on the idol board. fans got the link to jaylen's player page (which was not very easy, back then, as the search function didn't exist yet, and players who weren't on teams were otherwise very difficult to find). fans idol'd jaylen at shot her up to the 14th spot on the board within hours, where she stayed until the election closed on sunday.

the garages, jaylen's old team, won lottery pick, and jaylen was swapped by pure RNG for fellow pitcher mike townsend. mike was sent to the shadows, which is kinda like the reserve but i won't get into the specifics here. jaylen returned with two modifiers: "returned", which stated that at the end of every election, there was a chance she would be returned to death, and "debt", which simply said that she had a debt to pay.

jaylen was also followed out of death by a god, the monitor, who monitored the hall of flame, a new place where all the dead players had apparently been this whole time. if we gave him peanuts he let us see the all the dead players in a long list. i digress.

in jaylen's first game back from the dead, she did something never before seen: hit a player with a pitch. the player received a modifier that would fade after 9 (in game) days called "unstable". it came with no description other than "this player is unstable". this was... nerve wracking! soon enough, fans discovered what unstable did when it reaped it's first victim. unstable players had significantly higher chance of being incinerated during a solar eclipse, and if they were incinerated, their instability would spread to another player currently on the field. uh oh! this is when jaylen kills 12 people over the course of a season.

jaylen then went on to have a few more misadventures with her debt that i won't explain for the sake of time because they don't involve her committing murder. but it all came to a head in season 10. by then, jaylen had lost her debt, but there was a bigger threat on the horizon, the shelled one, another god, was threatening to destroy the world.

at the end of season 10, his team of handpicked players were going to return for one last chance for us to prove ourselves against them in a game between his pods and the season 10 champions. we needed to do something, and that something involved plans laid by a whole lot of entities that we had to follow along with. one step in that plan was killing jaylen again, which we did (even though we didn't know that's what we were doing at the time).

when the fight between the shelled one and the season 10 champions finally came, the shelled one absolutley swept, and all seemed lost until the monitor, the guy from earlier, showed up with his new team made up entirely of dead players. one of those players, and the one pitching, was jaylen. jaylen and the rest of hall stars played a grueling game against the shelled one and his pods that finally culminated in his death via the monitor literally eating him. not a joke. not an exaggeration.

at the end of the game, all of the hall stars were released from the grip of blaseball and the hall of flame, but jaylen, who had switched teams throughout the game and ended it on the shelled one's team, fell back to earth with the rest of the pods to live again. jaylen then went on to have a long list of misadventures and nightmares and sometimes even good times for the following 14 seasons of blaseball before the world ended and took her with it.

and that is my treatise on why you should vote for jaylen. she did all that. for you. and also there's a lot of really good music about her by the band the garages that you should check out.

Round 1

Note: before voting for the first option please leave a detailed explanation of what Blaseball even is in the notes, cause I have no idea. Also votes for the first option count for Jaylen Hotdogfingers

Propaganda Under The Cut

Jaylen Hotdogfingers:

The greatest came-back-wrong character ever. She's the mayor of Seattle. She's was the best pitcher in the league. She was murdered by an umpire in an act of divine retribution for the fanbase's transgression. The fanbase exploited game mechanics to bring her back to life. Immediately she murdered 12 people. She died again and got revived a second time as part of a team of undead players that killed god. She's a really awful batter. She has, like, 16 songs written about her and they're all really good. I thought about her every single day for a period of six consecutive months. I love her.

I'll be real. I'm an outsider to the Blaseball fandom. I don't understand it. I think they've crowdfunded characters from fictionalized fucked-up Baseball stats and a dream. I love seeing what the fuck they're doing in their eldritch sandbox just so much.

Bruce Wayne (Batman):

he's babygirl your honour! single father of 6 (ish), world's least likable manwhore, he's obsessive and mean and cares a lot and is an asshole

he’s a whore. he’s batman. he’s terrified of bats. he’ll fuck villains he’ll fuck heroes he’ll fuck any consenting adult. he’s a dad. he’s traumatised. he beats the shit out of people. he can do anything with enough prep time. he creeps people out on purpose. he lives and dies by the bit. he is everything to me. truly the character of all time

2020, June 20th: Annular Solar Eclipse @ Xiamen Bay

Last month on June 20, 2020 at 4:10 am the maximum point of the annular solstice eclipse passed through Xiamen Bay, China (our header picture is of the Zheng-Chngong Memorial Hall) that got 98% coverage. Our header is of Zheng-Chengong Memorial Hall on Xiamen Bay, China. Xiamen China is 389 miles away from Hong Kong and 221 miles from Taipei, Taiwan. Solar eclipses are total, in which the Moon…

On 7th December at 11:08pm E.T. so 8th Dec for Asia/Europe Sun and Moon will oppose each other forming a full moon at 16º02’ Gemini. This full moon will conjunct the retrograde Mars with earth standing between Mars and Sun in the once in 26 months Mars opposition when Mars shines brightest and has just been closest to earth on 1st Dec. Red fiery Mars visible in the night sky brings its influence in a very explosive manner during this opposition. We already see the build up to this point with repressed anger, drive, energy, heat, inflammation boiling to surface and it’s physically visible in Mars dominant individuals. Full Moon will occult this charged up Mars during this explosive opposition with our emotions clearly reflecting and needing an outlet of repressed anger, emotions, drive and inflammation. This is one pissed off full moon I have to say though pissed off is just another kind of drive and energy which is ofcourse going to be used to close chapters, come to conclusions, clearly state our stance and finding an outlet of many many years of repressed anger, emotions, drive, ambition.

Mars retrograde happens once every two years, we had the last one in Aries from 9th Sept to 13 Nov 2020. There are always lessons carried forward from last Mars retrograde especially on how we are using our energy and how we are going about getting what we love. Desires, angst, anger thats deeply suppressed due to upbringing, past events, self control they come out into conscious realisation during Mars retrograde. Passive aggressive elements come out to play in the open in active aggressive ways. This is harming you, this is hurting your insides, this is burning your drive, this is dissipating whatever is left of your passion, this is not your passion, you forgot what is passion, this is what used to rev you up, thats where your libido went, that might be a better use of your physical strength and energy, you have physical strength and energy - use it - these inner dialogues walk rampant over us in Mars retrograde. Mars marks brute force of cutting off stuff and it also marks sometime acute diseases that arise from repressed anger. Recognition of both comes over the first half of retrograde journey which we have been on since Mars went retrograde on 30 Oct at 25º37’ Gemini. On surface it might just seem our drive towards the themes of the house where Gemini is placed waned. But thats what it is - a surface event. Deep down a lot more is being thrown at us in form of some pockets of explosive anger or inflammation flaring and blasting on our face like hidden land mines in unexpected manners and they are over issues long gone, forgotten and we thought forgiven but guess not.

As we approach Sun opposition to Mars during this full moon on 8th we come to realisations on what we have been burying deep down and what cannot we contained. Mid Oct 2020 was when you reached that moment in last Mars retrograde cycle but in Aries. This is felt similar but applies to different aspects of our life. This is very much about being vocal about what truly we want, what bothers us, what needs to be spoken out loud, how we use our words for or against ourselves, where misplaced anger is not helping us as this misplaced anger shows up in words which make us lose things we do want in life. Sun Mars opposition normally brings conflict to head and a decision is made even if we do not engage in a physically or verbally explosive situation (highly likely) - this decision in our mind helps us conclude a conflict we have been silently or passive aggressively raging within for many many years. Mars doesn’t go retrograde in a specific sign very often - last retrograde in Gemini was in Dec 2007 - 15 years back and it didn’t even cover these degrees of Gemini though if you do have planets or points within 3-4º of 24/25º Gemini so 20º-30º Gemini you could have some unfinished business from that time coming to life in this cycle.

Mars retrograde cycle also helps us figure out where we are wasting our energy. You could be brave and keep at a situation which isn’t bearing any fruit for way too long without this regular clean up of our physical energy. Waning interest during retrograde cycle from 30 Oct 2022 to 12 Jan 2023 should help us figure out what’s commercially viable, stimulating and enriching to our minds / skills. And where we are wasting our breath. If you have burned yourself out physically in pursuit of something or someone that exhaustion shows up asking - is it worth it ? Our aggressive persistency towards a fruitless goal is usually cut out during this opposition on 8th Dec with the full moon showing clear physical separation and emotional moving on from something that once could have been what we thought our fated path. North Node was in Gemini in 2021 specifically from May 2020 to Jan 2022 and over this period we together initiated a massive reskilling and many new intellectually stimulating paths were opened in multiple directions through accelerated fated events. Around Feb 2021 if you initiated one such interest or pursuit which we thought was your fated path - you might find it coming to conclusion. It doesn’t necessarily mean that path is given up completely but yes there is a clear change in our direction of pursuit from what we started end Feb 2021 - June 2021. Sometimes it just means a project initiated back then comes to logical completion - more likely with the cumulative testosterone waning we might get more real about both the goal and shift our approach to get there.

Normally it would take Mars to go direct and walk this walk again around Feb 2023 for the visible action to be evident on what and how we are moving away from our old modus operandi or project or person or whatever you are concluding, cutting off, moving forward from. But you in your heart and emotions know what is a done deal and needs to happen. The two houses of Gemini and Sagittarius are brought back into balance with this as well. If we have been wasting our energy in minor things, minor fights, minor annoyances, minor projects versus pursuing the higher goal, taking the higher path, looking at the big picture versus getting lost in details - we might be asked to pay attention to be sure that minor isnt taking major time. That you are not just burning fuel, you are also travelling the miles from where you were. That you are not underselling your own drive by aiming too low. Cause it takes the same energy to aim low and live a disappointing sub par result or aim to the best of your capability & try as hell to get it. So if you have lost the big picture in small annoyances, something someone will tap on your shoulder and remind you - Dude you lost the plot. Bring it back into balance and that could mean cleaning out the weeds especially of things that are taking energy of your words and mind. Brain fuel like all fuel is limited, whats exhausting it ? Before we would acknowledge that its not worth the exhaustion - we might be pushed to an exhaustive end by it. The wits end moment usually comes with such full moon, I wont sugar coat it cause Dude you would miss the plot if you blame another person, a thing, an age, a planet, the moon for it. You didn’t want to fight this fight, you wanted to avoid this conversation - tough luck cause its here. So own your brain fuel and if something has been leaking it handle it. Uranus would be making a quincunx with Sun at the time of full moon - this makes this full moon so so restlessness for change. But its like you cannot move forward materially without handling this thing thats messing up your thinking. You would also have a part of you saying why cannot we just go back to old ways cause we knew how money is made there, how relationships are handled, how houses are built - duck, avoid, rinse repeat - hard luck - cant do this time. Why did you have to go through past two years if thats what we were going to do… go back. Compromise. Your vision and thinking needs change. This is a mutable full moon with need for action to change the way forward.

Sometimes you have to try many things to know what fits and sometimes the same goal requires us to change our approach many times to decide the right way to it. Quincunx screams detour and sometimes delays. This delay most likely deals specifically with delay in monetisation of a goal, physical manifestation of a big vision, immigration or nationalisation or travel delays sometimes costing us dearly. Combine a restless moon with a possible announcement of delay. Its like a person stuck on the airport with a family member stuck with them but they do have something they have been avoiding talking of. There is no way they would have been pushed to talk about it unless they were stuck in a room for hours forced to talk due to that delay. The vision you haven’t been able to physically manifest or face delays in - may be there is a version of it thats more for you versus the one you have been running after since Feb 2021. Some things to think about.

This full moon is conjunct fixed star Rigel which is linked to wealth, material achievements - ideas that could create that could be coming to focus with this full moon as you edit your approach to the skills or ideas or goals originated in 2021. Will power and drive towards action is embedded in this star and degree. This is the first actional degree of Gemini which means an idea is acted upon. But possibly with a changed approached with the new found knowledge your detour or delay offered you. With elements of Mars Jupiter - it’s not small action - its massive incredible action sometimes dramatised with the warning of avoiding actions done for sake of vanity. This star and degree also very much emphasises self made wealth and self made people - its considered a beneficial star for enterprise / self established businesses and usually seen emphasised in charts of strong willed people with love of action.

Rigel the fixed star attached to this full moon also points to projects or pursuits linked to education, bringing knowledge to others in some ways which expands people’s perspective. But as this feeling sometimes translates to my perspective is right and yours wrong, conflict over clash of perspectives especially between conventional and unconventional follows. Try to not force your perspective though we would be tempted. This degree sometimes implies that people would try to convert others to their ideas through physical action or dramatising the concept. I understand Mike Pence (16º Gemini Sun) e.g. is on a book tour. As long as that drama isn’t actually repressed anger, aggression or agenda, it could be actually fun to involve people in your idea this way. You can sell anything as long as you are in awareness of the Mars aggressive which invariable comes like hidden land mines to surface not so silently whispering “You are right why back out” leading to conflict. Duality of Gemini allows us to use this well if we are in awareness of this voice. You would be waiting another decade to have a Mars retrograde in Gemini so there is a purpose to this voice, provided we don’t loose the plot by using major energy on small things or conflicts. Find the bigger reason beyond current moment if anger comes up. Rudhyar described this degree as “A passionate response to a deeply felt new experience”. If something has moved us emotionally, we might use this energy to convince others of that experience, cause or project but its not purely facts and figures - there are emotions attached to this pitch, something we feel deeply about.

Mars remains the dominant influence with this moon so our nervous system would be overstimulated, words would be flying faster than we can take back, people would be selling whatever they can sell to other, mechanical breakdowns due to hurry are possible. Rapid mental pictures are stimulative but manage the overstimulation of nervous system and heat/inflammation/flying off the handle aspect of it. Under licensed medical practitioner try to handle flare ups if any of asthma, bronchitis, any mental challenges due to overstimulation of nervous system.

Godspeed !

Energy Update: Solar Eclipse 00° Cancer

I would be amiss if I didn't talk about the solar eclipse happening this weekend at 00° Cancer. Do you feel it yet - the entire world holding its breath? Waiting for something to happen?

To use the analogy that keeps coming to mind - its almost officially Summah (astrological indicated by the Summer Solstice when the Sun enters 00° Cancer) - imagine for a second that you are standing on a beach. It's a beautiful day but eerily still - the birds have stopped circling and crying. Slowly, the water starts to recede - not just the tide going out slowly with each wave but quickly revealing swathes of sand that are always covered by water.

Something is coming.

Some solar shifts come in with gentle energy - this is not one of those solar shifts. With the five retrogrades (including Mercury recently retrograded in Cancer), the solar eclipse occurring at the same degree, and the solar ingress into Cancer being conjunct our N. Node - Cancer season is going to come in like a tsunami.

I do not say this to be an alarmist - rather, I believe that when used proactively, astrology can save you a lot of stress and heartache. By being aware of the energies, we are better able to navigate through them - perhaps swim through them is a better choice of words right now?

Venus has been out of bounds in a lot of ways through this retrograde cycle - below the surface - often unattainable without deep thought and deep insight. Venus in Gemini is more thoughtful than emotional - it is arguably one of the least compassionate and empathic placements of Venus in the natal horoscope. If you are uncomfortable or unused to Venus in Gemini energy, you may be feeling out of touch with your normal emotions, your feelings of compassion, the ways in which you normally connect on a heart-centric level with others. I feel the need to stress that this is completely normal for this point in the Venus in Gemini retrograde cycle. Not that that necessarily makes it feel any better.

Said in another way - it's been REALLY dry out there.

And we're in for a deluge. Don't get me wrong - we need the water but this much all at once is likely to feel quite overwhelming to even the most watery of individuals. We've all been dried out over the last couple of months, you will be well advised to enter the stream slowly. Test the waters before you jump in, make sure that you are ready to swim.

There's going to be a pretty intense riptide running through the currents this weekend and probably through the next two weeks at least as the collective unconscious begins to emotionally process what has been brought to light through this intense Venus retrograde cycle. It is going to be easier the normal to be pulled under - to stand in a place of reaction rather than reason, to drown in your own emotional baggage.

The adage always goes: put your gas mask (life preserver?) on first before you help others. To follow the tsunami analogy: I'm giving you a few days notice to find your high ground. Now is a good time to build up your water defenses before the current comes rushing back in - where are you most in alignment? Where are you most out of alignment? Are you in your own lane? What can you most do to help yourself right now?

Eclipses are deep, karmic events that shape human history. That this one is sitting on the point of cosmic consciousness (represented by the N. Node of the moon) is not coincidental - everything may feel painful and fated right now. Pay attention to what is coming up - if you are suddenly losing or gaining things right now - it is likely a sign of the ways that your life needs to shift. It can be helpful to remember that life is happening for us, not to us.

That we can always change and be better. It is our birthright as humans.

Try not to over-identify with the events that are happening right now. Watch our for emotional dysregulation and blaming. Take a break from anything that you can walk away from that is triggering you or keeping you in your emotions. We all need to ride this wave but we don't need to drown in it.
