No, actually, I’ve decided I hate this now. Because I’ve mentally planned out the entire deck and now I will lie awake for eternity thinking of the way an actual aftg tarot deck would feel in my hands.
🌿 March Patreon print 🌿
My patreons this month voted for tarot cards so here’s a little lovers print. To get the March free print you can join my Patreon at either the Pomegrante and saffron tier (UK SHIPPING) or almond and plumb (INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING)
This print is available as an a4 and will be sent out around the 1st April. This is a Patreon exclusive and will not be published on the shop
(Though keep your eyes open for potential tarot card bunds!)
#Riko is the emperor btw#Kevin is the empress#ichirou is judgment#Jeremy is the sun and Jean is the moon#the chariot is probably the car Neil barbecued his mom in#or maybe andrews car if we’re being less weird about it#tetsuji is the devil fuck that guy#the foxhole court is the world obviously#Renee is strength#Allison prob gets to be the star (shine bright bby)#Nathan is either the hanged man or death#or a secret new card called the butcher#adam parrish is the magician#wait wrong fandom#dunno maybe that’s Nicky or something#Betsy is the high priestess#maybe Mary is justice#and the suits#omg the suits.#each based off a different ncaa team???#wands are drawn as Exy rackets and they all have a foxes theme?#wymack is the king Abby is the queen Betsy is the page and probs rocky foxy the mascot is the knight#Dan is ace and Kevin is 2 and Andrew is 3 etc#swords is based on the ravens and they’re drawn as knives#Riko Kevin jean and Nathaniel get to be K Q K & P as well as A 2 3 & 4 because that’s how the ravens are#5-10 just gotta be filled with random ravens I guess#the Trojans are cups I guess#Jeremy is king because there’s no ‘11’ card#maybe the ‘cups’ are actually day spirit awards#i don’t know about pentacles/coins I’ve run out of teams and also tags goddammit I have so much more to say

Hi it's been a while, I'm the P5-MHA anon. I didn't forget about sending stuff I've just been busy. I looked through your ml persona AU tag and saw the arcana list and I have some notes. I assume you are gonna rework these anyway like you said but, here are my ideas for a ml persona AU arcana. Also one thing about the world arcana, usually there is no-one associated with it. It's more symbolic of the fool finally reaching the end of their journey, but you don't have to follow the trend of course.
Fool- Marinette, Magician- Nino, High Priestess- Alya, Empress- Kagami, Emperor- Luka, Hierophant- Tom and Sabine, Lovers- Rose and Juleka, Chariot- Kim, Justice- Wolfe, Hermit- Nathaniel and Marc, Fortune- Alix, Strength- Mylene and Ivan, The Hanged Man- Adrien, Death- Gabriel, Temperance- Fu, Devil- Lila, The Tower- Chole, The Star- Nathalie, The Moon- Sabrina, The Sun- Max and Markov, Judgement- Ariel, Faith- Zoé, Councilor- Ms. Bustier
I added the new arcana from p5r so everyone on your previous list could have spot plus Zoé. I also added Markov to Max and Marc to Nathaniel.
Of course you can take this list with a grain of salt, cause I don't know how you specifically would write some of the characters. If you have questions about the placements feel free to call me out and I'll try to give my reasonings. Oh and some of your picks were inspired btw, I always forget that some social links/confidants are filled by 2 people.
Fair!
Honestly my plan when I wrote that was back when we were in Season 2-3(so Zoé didn't exist yet lmao), and I know my plans were based more off who fit the meanings of the various Arcana rather than what the Arcana translate to in P5

although the imagery would be so good with moon, w the meaning i dont think it fits ritsu that much.. maybe the tower could be a better fit thinking abt it but am not. sure <- half asleep rn
nodding nodding.
ok im actively Looking at tarot cards and i will do my best to assign them Sillies. btw im getting these meanings off of biddytarot but there are Many Many other interpretations so <3 u can also just do whatever u want forever im just goin off of what feels right to Me. also im biased towards my faves. peace nd love. im also just doing this in the order i read the descriptions so if characters fit multiple u may see them multiple times.
Fool - Subaru or Anzu (new beginnings, free spirit, spontaneity, w/ reversed meanings recklessness & risk-taking)
Magician - I could see Ibara? (Manifestation, resourcefulness, power. reversed = manipulation, untapped talents)
High Priestess - Natsume? Maybe Shu? Nagisa even? (Intuition, sacred knowledge, subconscious mind. reversed = secrets, withdrawal, silence)
Empress - Arashi <3 as you already said
Emperor - Eichi? Maybe Keito? (Authority, establishment, structure. reversed = domination, excessive control, inflexibility)
Hierophant - Tatsumi or Hiiro? Reversed would be Rinne tbh (Spiritual wisdom, religious beliefs, conformity, tradition. reversed = personal beliefs, freedom, challenging the status quo)
Lovers - Aira, Reversed Izumi (esp war era izu) (Love, harmony, relationships, choices. Reversed = Self-love, disharmony, imbalance, misalignment of values)
Chariot - Mao? Maybe Yuzuru? (Control, willpower, success, action, determination. Reversed = Self-discipline, opposition, lack of direction)
Strength - I could see Jun, Hiyori, or Mika maybe? (Strength, courage, persuasion, influence, compassion. Reversed = Inner strength, self-doubt, low energy, raw emotion)
Hermit - Mayoi? HiMERU maybe? Ritsu even? (Soul-searching, introspection, being alone, inner guidance. Reversed = Isolation, loneliness, withdrawal)
Wheel of Fortune/Fortune - TSUMUGI. (Good luck, karma, life cycles, destiny, a turning point. Reversed = Bad luck, resistance to change, breaking cycles)
Justice - Leo as u said <3 atho i feel leo can also fit strength tbh. justice has his Vibes tho
Hanged Man - Shu. I think. (Pause, surrender, letting go, new perspectives. Reversed = Delays, resistance, stalling, indecision)
Death - Rei... (Endings, change, transformation, transition. Reversed = Resistance to change, personal transformation, inner purging)
Temperance - Izumi? Tsukasa? (Balance, moderation, patience, purpose. Reversed = Imbalance, excess, self-healing, re-alignment)
The Devil - HiMERU? Ritsu? Idk tbh. (Shadow self, attachment, addiction, restriction, sexuality. Reversed = Releasing limiting beliefs, exploring dark thoughts, detachment)
The Tower - Hokke? Rinne? (Sudden change, upheaval, chaos, revelation, awakening. Reversed = Personal transformation, fear of change, averting disaster)
Star - Sora or Kohaku maybe? (Hope, faith, purpose, renewal, spirituality. Reversed = Lack of faith, despair, self-trust, disconnection)
Moon - ngl i still feel Ritsu esp ! era. also ! era Leo. HiMERU also tho. Maaaaybe Niki? (Illusion, fear, anxiety, subconscious, intuition. Reversed = Release of fear, repressed emotion, inner confusion)
Sun - Sora. Nazuna maybe? or Niki? (Positivity, fun, warmth, success vitality. Reversed = Inner child, feeling down, overly optimistic)
Judgement - Eichi? Shu? Madara even? (Judgement (who'd've guessed) rebirth, inner calling, absolution. Reversed = Self-doubt, inner critic, ignoring the call)
The World - Madara. maybe Natsume? (Completion, integration, accomplishment, travel. Reversed = Seeking personal closure, short-cuts, delays)
#yeah u don't have to take Any of this it is just My Thoughts#i also mostly stayed to characters i feel i know okay-ish so sdkjghds maybe others fit better. idk.#godspeed eden#long post

Where Wrath's Edge is Sharp (wwes)
hi sorry I am subjecting you to the Horrors (my terrible awful p5 longfic au that I will. eventually? post once I've finished arc 1 (crossing my fingers. we're at 150ish-k at the time of writing and they're still going through the first palace.))
initial post | wwes tag
major p5r spoilers immediately ahead:
short ver: not-quite-roleswap AU where an Akechi who is persona-less until 17 runs into Morgana instead and unwittingly becomes the leader of the “phantom thieves” w/ Morgana, Makoto, Futaba and Sumire, going against sort-of-Black-Mask Joker w/ Ryuji, Ann, Yusuke, and Haru.
long ver: takes a deep breath.
the layout of the iyr/rtg masterpost is so pretty, I'm citing it as inspiration :) I'll start w/ general notes then go into more concise sets of info
misc
no romance! this is an entirely gen found family fic w/ mild alternative chara interpretation (due to differing circumstances) but otherwise sort of follows canon, though the timeline starts abt 8 months before p5r canon (sept 2015)
I'm most likely keeping second and third awakenings, confidant links just take ten million years to progress bc Akechi is. Akechi
new personas: Akechi (Robin Hood -> Skadi, now 2nd persona), Sumire (Cendrillon -> Antigone)
Robin Hood just didn’t make sense for the direction Akechi's chara took (after still feeling helpless, all hope he had that he could be a hero of justice that avenged his mother died); Cendrillon made no sense for Sumire (she never became Kasumi, so the "clock strikes 12/become a different person" theme doesn't fit)
I'm so insane over his 2nd persona being Skadi btw like in mythology Loki killed her dad so. yknow. definitely no parallels there abt being both the victim and the perpetrator or anything
since there's only 5 party members, there is no set nav! Futaba fights w/ a scythe :) this also means everyone else helps teach sumire how to analyze weaknesses after she joins the team :) whoever's nav comments on showtimes as well!
element specializing:
Akechi - curse/psy/gun (Loki), bless/ice/phys (Skadi) Morgana - wind (main healer/buffer + I was not giving him gun sorry lmao) Makoto - nuke/lightning Futaba - psy/fire Sumire - bless/phys
new teams (+ arcanas)
notes: - new arcanas don't reflect the canon storyline, like Akechi being the Tower doesn't mean he has Shinya's canon storyline. it's more about reflections of their personalities and circumstances :) - Ninth Circle links (besides Joker) all break after certain points in the story and reform in third sem
the Espy Division (name courtesy of Futaba)
Futaba initially wanted to name them the Neo Justice Squad V but she was vehemently shut down by Akechi and Makoto lol
Akechi — the Tower
Morgana — Judgment
Makoto — the Chariot
Futaba — the Hanged Man
Sumire — the Fool
the Ninth Circle (name courtesy of mostly Ryuji)
Joker/Ren — Justice
Ryuji — Strength
Ann — the Magician
Yusuke — the High Priestess
Haru — Death
non-team confidants (in order of appearance; might be changed but these are pretty set)
Kiyoko Hagoromo (literally the only OC; goes to Akechi's school) — the Lovers
Lala Escargot — Temperance
Jose — the World
Trader Sakai — Wheel of Fortune
Muhen — the Hierophant
Sojiro Sakura — the Star
Shinya Oda — the Sun
Eiko Takao — the Moon
Shinichi Yoshizawa — the Empress
Hifumi Togo — the Hermit
Mika (Yamanaka) — the Devil
Sae Niijima — the Emperor (only established after interrogation room)
major plot changes
on principle, the Espy Division do not steal hearts. they fight the shadows to metaphorically break through to ppl and go from there. Futaba and Sumire do not steal their own hearts, for example. they go to therapy
Akechi does not awaken when he is 15. he continues to get passed around between foster homes until he lands the internship at the prosecution's office at 17 and immediately moves out to his own apartment
Akechi's very grand plan to take Shido down this time is to gain so much fame and credibility that ppl will actually listen to him when he publicly accuses Shido of all of his crimes. he does this by using the Metaverse to solve cases fast, which naturally makes Makoto suspicious of him
Shido and Sae's palaces are discovered early but not explored until around the time they are in canon. instead Futaba's palace is done first, then Sumire's, then the canon palaces are done in order
Sumire does not become Kasumi! her parents try to send her to therapy but she's so utterly convinced that she doesn't deserve it that she completely avoids Maruki and develops a palace instead (the palace of Acedia; forms as an arena in scramble crossing)
the canon palaces are done but for different reasons (Kaneshiro's is done as the conclusion to a long series of cases Akechi and Makoto were looking into since Dec; Okumura's is done bc Haru insists that they do it; Sae's is done bc she outright threatens to take Akechi and Makoto into custody if they don't turn themselves in)
Joker joins them for Sae's palace. they're all fully aware he's the leader of the enemy team but they reluctantly need his assistance to get past one of the cognitive doors
Joker's confidants (minus the Espy Division members/Shinya/Lavenza/Sae) are still happening in the bg so that's. so very fun for Sojiro when interrogation room comes around
Yaldabaoth declares Joker as the winner immediately after Shido confesses and claims his “prize” by possessing him to terrorize Tokyo. yes this is how I incorporate satanael into the plot
Maruki's reality still comes to pass, but everyone's wishes are appropriately updated. Akechi is not the only person in his apartment. Sumire's not the only sister alive. Joker... Nothing Bad Happens at all to him :)
#wwes masterpost#wwes#weee. feel free to ask qs rn btw as of writing this we are still in futaba's palace. Help#my notes are literally everywhere on notion it's so dire#p5r#p5r spoilers //

//OOC: So I've decided to try and make a full set of the 22 Major Arcana with a character or blog representing each one. That being said, I'm not an expert on this topic, and I don't know everyone well and in depth, so maybe not all of them fit perfectly. And obviously, this is my opinion, so pls don't hate on me :)
(and no pink for this one because it's way too long and that isn't fun to read)
Also sorry for the mass ping :)
Here we go
0 The Fool: I've actually needed to think a lot about this one because most people kinda fit this card, but not entirely. But i think Grace from @trainergraceneedstherapy is the best candidate for it.
I The Magician: I have thought a bit about which arcana they would represent best, and I've landed on this one for @professor-amaryllis
II The High Priestess: @runicsorceress is definitely the gal for this arcana. And not because she always lurks in the tags. But that definitely played a role when assigning this card
III The Empress: who else than rotumblr mom to all @frostbite-yinny? Like, for real.
IV The Emperor: There are a lot of people who would fit into the category for this card, but I'll go with @prof-lemon
V The Hierophant: i think this is possibly controversial, but @thetravelingymleader is the best option for this arcana in my opinion. It's not the first that comes to mind for Nox, but i think it fits well.
VI The Lovers: there REALLY isn't any other choice than rotumblrs favourite disaster lesbians @oh-shinx and @gwendoline-of-lumiose
VII The Chariot: there are also A LOT of peopel who would represent this card very well, but @aura-acolyte is the obvious choice here, right?
VIII Strength: i mean, almost everyone could qualify for this one, right? But i think @pkmn-scntst-ana is my choice.
IX The Hermit: I'm actually not quite sure on this one, but @plasmaapologistseems like a good fit.
X The Wheel of Fortune: Bane @teamphobia is the best candidate for this one, fight me. Like, i feel like the card was basically made for him.
XI Justice: i nominate @professor-devious for his one. Maybe it sounds weird, but i think it fits.
XII The Hanged Man: i think i'll go for @frozenflmes here. I'm gonna be honest, not my first choice, but that's mainly because i don't know snow very well. I think its history provides enough support to this claim though.
XIII Death: honestly i also don't know them very well either, mostly because they were gone for the most time i was actively on rotumblr, but i think @skygodtraumabond is a good candidate for this arcana.
XIV Temperance: i believe @humming-pokemon-helpers is a very obvious choice here, but also one that just fits very well.
XV The Devil: well, the devils reign seems to have come to an end, because @ariadosanon is the one i see most fitting for this card.
XVI The Tower: I'm going out on a limb here, but i'll appoint this card to @deadly-brand. The problem is that i don't want to name a whole evil team, but i also don't follow many actually evil or destructive people. I actually don't follow them either, but i know what it's kinda supposed to be, so i'll name him. (I know Bane also fits this well, maybe even better on a personal rather than interpersonal level, but i like Bane as the Wheel of Fortune).
XVII The Star: I'm gonna be honest, this one gave me quite the headdache, there are just a lot of candidates. But i think naming @eartheats is the right choice here.
XVIII The Moon: Ok, but for real this one was VERY diffcult. I name @occulticvioletdepths but i'm really not sure if she are the best candidate out there, or if there is someone "better". Reason being again, i don't know her very well. (i don't mean any offense with that btw)
XIX The Sun: would anyone oppose if i claimed @flowerliker for this? No? I thought so.
XX Judgement: I'm gonna make a bold move and name @plasma-veracity here, specifically for the current memory loss arc.
XIX The World: It's also quite difficult to find someone for this arcana. I was about to nominate myself lol. But if i'm honest, i think Ellisa from @adventures-on-foster-island is a way better pick for this!
So, here we have it, a full set of Tarot cards, represented by a character from rotumblr. Also, as you can see, i've chosen not to include canon characters. Tell me what you think, or if you would change anything :)
OOC: my brain just gave me an interesting thought
Which of our characters would represent each major arcana in tarot?
My persona 5 brain has made a resurgence lol
#ooc#//reblog#//also sorry for the fake ping earlier#//the post was supposed to go into my drafts#Koffing-Time-1.0

Pick a Card: How Would A Tarot Reader Describe You To Your Future Spouse?
Pick any photo/number from above to get an insight about how would a tarot reader describe you to your future spouse if they would’ve went to get a reading about their future spouse(you)
feel free to suggest PAC ideas in the inbox!
©onenormalperson4012
masterlist
KEEP IN MIND I WOULD NEVER TALK LIKE THIS
Pile 1
10 of Cups, The Sun, Death, 7 of Cups, Queen of Wands, Ace of Swords, 10 of Swords, Page of Pentacles
“Your future spouse is someone very optimistic and very bright. They faced lots of change through their lives and they learned a lot from these changes and challenges. They were always going forward no matter what. When they fell, they fell face down and hurt themselves badly but they were able to get up and rise once again like they did countless times before. They were able to rise to many times because they were constantly trying to find reasons and goals to live up to. They are someone very blunt, friendly and intelligent and they’re much more experienced than you are. Your future spouse will think that you are a very attractive person and they will see you as someone who is willing to learn as well from your own mistakes. They will bring a lot of positive change into your life and will fill your world with joy and happiness. I see you having a beautiful family people will envy, but you will not care since their negative energy won’t reach you.”
You guys seem to have faced a lot of bad and a lot of good by yourselves. You seem very proud to that reader and your future spouse will love you a lot. They will appreciate everything you do to keep everything in peace. I can’t help but hear “Take a look at my girlfriend, she’s the only one I got.” so for some of you, that’s how your future spouse will see you. They will see you as this point of stability in their lives.
—————————————————
Pile 2
Page of Swords, Ace of Wands, The Hermit, 4 of Cups, The Hierophant, Temperance, The Magician, The Empress (your future spouse might actually watch tarot readings on YouTube lol)
“Well, you seem to have gotten a god/goddess right here my friend. This person is very witty and very curious about the world and will be very curious about you as well. They are someone very spiritual who is searching for their own path but who also keeps on searching you, their soulmate. They look very young and they are very youthful. You will need their youthfulness in the future, I feel it. This person is quite traditional but that doesn’t mean they aren’t willing to adapt. Actually, they seem quite temperate and they are going to want to teach you some of their life hacks. They are very good at manifesting and getting whatever they want. I feel like your person is someone very feminine who will want to have a traditional family with you. They will want to settle down with you, live a happy life with you and so on.”
For some reason, I feel like your future spouse will not really be that happy to find out you want a traditional family. They seem the type to want to settle down with someone and just have a dog or two. For you I don’t really get a song but I’m feeling bad for leaving you songless so imma put one here. Btw, you might meet online or come from different countries or at least, be very far from one another
—————————————————
Pile 3
3 of wands, 10 of wands, 5 of pentacles, Ace of swords, 6 of wands, 5 of cups, The Emperor, 2 of pentacles
“Your future spouse has been through a lot in life. They possibly faced financial issues in their life and they are very guarded regarding their money so they may seem sometimes selfish for not giving people their stuff/money. This fear of losing money comes from their childhood most likely and it seems it motivated them to enter this “leadership” role. They could be control freaks and will have a need to take over everything. Very pessimistic about life in general. They don’t seem to be able to enjoy it properly. It’s so weird how their pessimistic personality is hidden behind this serious, straightforward persona. I feel a lot of earth behind this person. Their father could’ve been their main opposition in life and will try to rebel against him. They could’ve been hurt a lot in their lives so expect them to not be very open to new relationships or connections. They are intelligent, but they don’t wanna change anything in life. They fear change. They might try to fit in with others. Their energy is all over the place, hard to read.”
You seem to have been through a lot of trauma, pile 3. I need you to know that your future spouse might have this savior complex and will try to dig deep into your past. They will want to do it because they care about you. I got no idea why but you remind me of “I need a doctor”, literally. You guys might go through some sort of conflict at first.
—————————————————
Pile 4
The Magician, 5 of Cups, The Tower, 6 of Wands, Page of Swords, Page of Cups, 6 of Pentacles, The Sun
(This pile is similar to the second one)
��This person is a smart one ngl. I believe you will catch them off guard. They will fall very hard for you and you will not even notice. Your future spouse is someone with leadership qualities who’s also very just with people around them. They love pets and animals A LOT, maybe children as well. They are very caring and very protective of their loved ones. They seem to lack self mercy and they hate people to pity them. If you want to annoy them then pity them. They hate to be called weak or soft because they’ve been taken advantage of when they were young. They may have faced a difficult childhood and that’s why and now they’re trying to protect every creature around them. They are constantly defensive, searching for random battles just to prove themselves they’re not weak. They seem quite talkative and they like to make friends. I really feel You will catch them off guard and they will really not expect you to pop into their life.”
Your energy is very closed and it took me a while to put into words whatever I needed to put into words, or at least, the tarot reader who might do them a reading is not that good at communicating messages. Maybe they’re just new. Your future spouse might love rock since I couldn’t get any non-rock song lmao.
—————————————————
Pile 5
3 of Pentacles, King of Swords, 9 of Cups, Knight of Cups, 3 of Wands, King of Cups, The Moon, Knight of Pentacles
“That’s some boss energy right here. This person could be a boss or a coworker for sure. They’re so much, ugh, I can’t—so strong and masculineeee. I’m so glad for your guys. They are extremely smart and they could be into psychology and study human behaviour. I see them coming towards you while they’re developing their career. They put a lot of energy into their career and their finances and might not even search for you at the moment they’ll meet you. They are so proud, so smart, so beautiful. I love that they value finances a lot and they might be quite wealthy. They speak so nice, they are very good at putting their thoughts into words. Your future spouse is someone very mysterious who will make you melt just by staring at you. They look very serious and they don’t normally smile and might not even smile at you for quite some time. It will take some time to open them up and might seem serious even then, but let me tell you how loyal and caring they are.”
This tarot reader seems very happy for you guys. I get the feeling that they could “fear” your energy. You seem quite intimidating to them haha.
—————————————————
I hope it resonated and I’ll be continuing to do pick a card readings and I’ll see you next time. Bye bye

I'm in the mood for a fic where...
Y'all have been so patient with the delay, most of these asks are still from May! I’m getting a late start this morning, but it’s the weekend, so I’m sure you’re out there, raring to go!
~*~
1. HI AGAIN!! I really enjoyed the fics that you recommended, I felt well fed with all this luxury of fics, so, THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK!! ❤️ ❤️ I'll bother you again tho.... I wanted to ask if you or your other followers know fics where Lan Zhan goes crazy of grief or/and never got past WWX's death. I'm not too picky, if it has a bad end or good, all its good. I need angst ~ @nia-rarita
This one is angst-filled but more is a result of grief along with crippling injuries from the discipline whip: ❤️no new age by everythingispoetry (M, 146k, wangxian, my post)
softly through pine trees, the moon arrives by theLoyalRoyalGuard (G, 3k, wangxian, my post)
❤️Volition by Aerlalaith (T, 33k, wangxian, my post)

That Time Everyone Assumed the Yiling Patriarch was Ugly by tinitin (M, 5k, wangxian)
~*~
5. Hello! May I just say that you are probably the best at finding fics that fit every mood. I’m looking for fics where the Golden Core transfer doesn’t happen (but JC still loses his core). Maybe this is because WWX doesn’t learn abt WQ’s theory or maybe WWX isn’t so fanatically loyal to the Jiangs. I feel this would be really interesting to see how the plot would change. ~ @dreams-lovereality

Author snowberryrose has a handful of fix-it au’s with either a prevention of the transfer or an alt version of it.
from the other side of sorrow by Sour_Idealist (E, 128k, jiang siblings, chengqing, wangxian)
~*~
6. Hello! Do you know fics where wangxian switched personalities? I'm kinda feeling the mood. Thank you [Cool concept! I have #bodyswap and #sharing a body and the one with speech swap... but no personality swap.]
Nonny says: Not so much a rec as a fanart tip: Wang Yibo as Xie Yun in “Legend of Fei” and Xiao Zhan as Yan Bingyun in “Joy of Life” could provide useful illos for Wangxian bodyswap fics.

7. Hi Momjo!! I was wondering if you knew any fics where LWJ Has Friends. And they are friends that he made on his own, not through a connection with WWX (though I don’t care if they do have a connection with WWX, I just want LWJ to have made them without WWX). I always read fics where LWJ has no friends other than his brother and it makes me really sad.

10. Hello! This is a bit of an odd request, but I was wondering if you know of any modern au fics where wangxian are happily raising A-Yuan together, and the fic focuses on parenting stuff, A-Yuan at school, low-stakes drama relating to those kind of things, etc? Thanks! (and thanks so much for this blog, I've read so much fic in the last few weeks since discovering it!!) [You’re welcome! The two fics I’ve recced below DO have some relationship angst, but are otherwise domestic parenting fluff.]

16. hi mojo! i've been scratching my head for a while and i hope you can help. i read a fic where the character overhears their love interest say they're not interested (but they haven't heard the full conversation) and angst starts yadda yadda and i wanted to find more fics with this trope, but idk what tag to look for. "misunderstandings" seems a bit vague, i've been looking for a while and haven't seen anything similar. it wasn't the focus of the fic, just what happened in a recent update, so there's no specific tag. please help!

Hello, fellow Yusuke enjoyer :3 I heard you wanted some help deciding confidants for Runaway (great fic btw). If I remember correctly, the confidants you have already are Fool!Yusuke, Magician!Sumire, Lovers!Goro, Chariot!Makoto, Emperor!Akira, Priestess!Haru, Hermit!Ryuji, Empress!Futaba, Justice!Ann, Faith!Morgana, Hierophant!Ichiko, Temperance!Maruki, Councillor!Tae, Judgement!Yoshida and Strength!Lavenza.
This leaves the Fortune, Hanged Man, Death, Devil, Tower, Star, Moon, Sun arcana. Plus, Apostle and Hope, if you do those.
The left-over confidants are Sojiro, Iwai, Yuuki, Shinya, Sadayo, Sae and Hifumi. Plus, Zenkichi and Sophia, if you do those.
I think Iwai or Sojiro could be good for Devil. Yuuki could be an interesting Fortune, as could Hifumi. Zenkichi could work for Hanged Man, with Akane as his Kaoru. Sun!Sojiro could be interesting, as could Sun!Sae. A few other miscellaneous suggestions: Tower!Hifumi, Death!Sadayo, Star!Shinya and Moon!Sophia.
and now yoshida doesnt have a place bc i went back to judgement!okumura lmao
im also thinking of making sae strength and having lavenza be someone else
i also have death, councillor and temperance (death!kawakami, temperance!maruki, councillor!tae) and moon (hifumi) which leaves - as of now;
-fortune
-hanged man
-devil
-tower
-star
-sun
i may go w hanged man zenkichi! if i did do strikers, apostle!iwai would be fun as well! lol sorry for changing things so quickly but thank you for the help!

I cannot draw but I still wanted to bother everyone with assigning Tarot cards for the Patho Characters. It just combines two fixations of mine and so I absolutely couldn’t resist. First and obvious disclaimer: Since I am only doing the major arkana and I have some more abstract concepts for the cards not every important NPC is assigned a card. I tried to include as many as I can by making some groupstuff but not everybody made it. Sorry Grief, I still love you!
Here is just the list, some ramblings and explanations are under the cut. (Btw. this is after the Rider Waite deck, since there are other tarot variations)
0 The Fool - Tragedian I The Magician - Isidor II The High Priestess - Clara III The Emperor - Big Vlad IV The Empress - Capella V The Hierophant - Khan VI The Lovers - The Saburovs VII The Chariot - Block VIII Justice - Dankovsky IX The Hermit - Rubin X Wheel of Fortune - Victor + Clockwork XI Strength - Notkin + Jester XII The Hanged Man - Eva + Cathedral XIII Death - Executor / Murky’s Friend XIV Temperance - Artemy XV The Devil - Immortell + The Theater XVI The Tower - Polyhedron + The Stamatins XVII The Star - Lara XVIII The Moon - Maria XIX The Sun - Sticky and Murky XX Judgement - Aglaya�� XXI The World - The Town
The Fool: I mean... not much to say here. I wanted to include some more abstract and general things, since I couldn’t bare to put anything but the town itself as the world. And the Tragedians are such an important part of Pathologic that fit the Fool quite well.
The Magician: Isidor just has this role as a powerful figure and this “controlling the forces of nature” thing that the magician has going on. And he has a face which at least makes including him in a deck... doable. Not that it really matters here but even inner visualization is fun. Btw. I also had this image of Rubin as a Magician where the table on the Rider Waite deck is the autopsy table with Simon on it. That was nice but Rubin as a character just makes for a better Hermit and again, I think Isidor is a nice fit as an important power figure with mystical inclinations and this controlling aspect. If we want to include a character that is alive in the game, Georgiy and his house in the crucible would also be a good fit.
The High Priestess: Again one I find easy to justify. The High Priestess as the person inclined to the mystical nature behind things works really well for Clara. Also the high priestess is considered to have the highest mythological value in Tarot, so this is kind of nice. Clara has a lot of Cards that fit her, but this one is a position not a lot of other characters fit into. Another person I could see as the High Priestess is Aspity though.
The Emperor: I once wanted to have the head of every ruling family here, to also include Gerorgiy in the deck but then I got a big problem with the lovers and the lack of canon relationships to represent it, so we only get him. That’s fine too, even if I would love to exclude him in favour of some characters, I appreciate more.
The Empress: Capella fits perfectly and I kind of like to keep this cards to the Olgymski’s, because it does make for a nice connection in between. But the nurturing way of ruling is nicely represented by her.
The Hierophant: Khan is also a person of mystical inclinations and also a very strict keeper of secrets that fits with the Hierophant. He is a leader and having him next to Capella in the Arkana also fit quite well, so I like him in this spot a lot.
The Lovers: Again, the lovers are kind of a character set, so having multiple here was just a nice touch. I think Saburov and Katerina are the only couple that really fit for me, since their love for each other is a very important aspect of their characterization while most other characters are very independent. (There is an amazing version of the Saburovs as the lovers by Yura btw.) I have discussed a patho tarot and there was also Clara brought up as a possibility but that could have been interpreted visually in a bad way… Still I think the theme of connection and love would also fit her quite well.
The Chariot: The army arrives with the train which already made this quite fitting just by imagining the card. Also including the Canon which is, driving the plot and time forward by brute force. (After all the army strike marks the end of the game.) His arrival and appearance in the game just marks a “point of no return” driving the game to it’s conclusion, so it’s a nice reference for him. Character-wise there might be better fits for him but… I don’t know I think it fits the narrative.
Justice: Yeah, I know, weird fit for Dankovsky. To be honest, if I could decide freely my favourite place for him would have been “The Fool” but I really wanted to include the Tragedian and that one literally only fits there and it’s pretty much perfect. And I wanted to have the Polyhedron for the Tower (and the Stamatins fit there also quite well), while giving all healers their own space, so that was also taken… Justice is my third option for him. I think it still fits, especially with the opening and the “You will act justly but the justice will blind you and become his demise” Also the visual of blindfolding him can also be a nice metaphor. ^^
The Hermit: Come on, Rubin just makes for a great Hermit! His whole way of dealing with the plague has a “lone wolf” vibe and he has this silent wisdom and knowledge. Also a lot of self-contemplation even if it mostly consists of him thinking that he is a bad person. God, now I have made myself sad for Rubin yet again…
Wheel of Fortune: I just couldn’t shake the image of Victor and one of the game saving Clocks for this one so this it is! I mean, a Clock as a wheel of Fortune just makes sense, especially in a game where time is of the essence and the rather abstract card also fits the Kains. There are some other cool options though, involving either Grief and his gear filled warehouse or the fellow traveller with dice (though this also would be a brilliant death card)
Strength: Artemy could also be a strong contender for this one, but I wanted to include Notkin and his connection to animals fits rather nicely. His way of applying force but also being tender and caring fits the card well, I think.
The Hanged Man: Again, one of the cards where I just couldn’t shake the image and Eva barely hanging onto the cathedral’s railing with her foot will now haunt me forever. I could also see Yulia for this one though since she has a rather contemplative way of thinking that is about dealing with one’s fate while bearing and contemplating it.
Death: Again, if we include some more abstract characters there is just no way around the Executors and Death is just a no brainer for them. They are literally a costume for death in game. The fellow Traveller could obviously work as well.
Temperance: I have seen a card with Artemy as Temperance by sneez and it just blew my mind since the card fits him perfectly and since then I just cannot imagine him as anything else (even if I have also seen some amazing versions with him as strength and this is also a very fitting card). His whole attitude being about preserving and offering stability is just amazing. Also it is a card about upholding duty so… heck yeah!
The Devil: I will be honest with you, I am not satisfied with putting Mark Immortell and the Theatre here. It is fitting but a bit too much on the nose and I think it lets the theatre appear a bit blander than it is. I just have literally no other idea about what to do with the devil. Also I wanted to include the theatre and both my other spots – judgement and wheel of fortune – where kind of occupied… At least you can use the image to maybe chain Mark to either the puppet versions of the main characters or to the tragedians and have the whole “who is controlling who?” thing in there, which is also nice.
The Tower: I definitely wanted to use the Polyhedron there. The Stamatins can be here too. Firstly because I just tried to fit more characters into the deck and secondly because forcing things to be broken in order to be rebuild is kind of their thing. It still has the tower theme with them and is not only “look! It’s a tower! For the… Tower!”
The Star: Lara is a very nurturing and also honest person which fits the star very well. It is a card about harmony and selflessness but still has a rather nocturnal side, which is also nice. Also the Rider Waite deck shows a woman getting spring water, which fits her fabled barrel quest and her hunt for supplies to give to other people.
The Moon: I mean the moon exactly has the vibe that fits Maria and the mistresses in general. It is about inner power, dreams and inner darkness, which fits the Scarlet mistress. It also links to her mother the mistress of the night quite well.
The Sun: A bright card and a card that literally shows children, so including Sticky and Murky here might be simple but is also quite nice. I think they would make for a very cute and happy card and god, we need some of them here!
Judgement: Aglaya often gets the justice card but that one was already taken. I also kind of think that judgement fits her slightly better, since she is the person judging the situation and her giving out sentences and defining what crime is, is kind of her thing. She also is a power house who appears more at the end and decides, so putting her in one of the most important and strongest cards in the deck feels quite fitting. The picture of a person who stands above the rest to tell what shall be told also… literally happened in one of the theatre plays, which is a nice touch and the inquisition gets compared to angels as well.
The world: I mean… the town is the world and it also fits the “completion and harmony” vibe, even if it is also fractured. Not to get sappy, but for me the town and it’s different aspects felt always more complete than any of the endings and it is the thing, that makes the game what it is in the first place. It is… kind of everything what is happening, the game is about the town and it is the protagonist (as it is stated in the Artbook (god that sentence reads like the Artbook is the holy text of Pathologic xDD)). I just think it fills this card the best and having the town as its own entity and character just feels right for me.

✷ Babes in the Well ✷ (Liar Alliance snippet)
Good day to you! It’s been a minute, but here I am with a little thing that I think you guys might think will be a neat read.
It’s a little snippet of a scene I wrote between charming young King Deria and my newly hatched/refined character, gloomy necromantic Hinrich.
(Hinrich is a Mask btw, a sort of ambassador to the Kings of the ten kingdoms in the empire.)
Where: Tall Castle at the beginning of book two
Who: Deria is talking
What: He’s wandering the Chalice Room, looking at paintings and thinking about magic when he’s interrupted by a gloomy apparition.
WC: 1800
Themes: Ghost magic, politcal intrigue, secret coup!!
Is it gay?
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Well. Yes, on multiple levels, but not explicit in this scene.
Unfortunately.
Plot needs pages too.

What a delightful day it was indeed. The sunlight in the mountains cast its gentle overcast glare over the hills as afternoon clouds drifted slowly over the subtly rising and falling hills deep down, down, in the valley, below my childhood home, Tall Castle.
The patterns of shy light and then sporadic sharp beams, raying out of the heavens and touching a little cottage outside the village, was more enchanting than magic.
Or, I would have thought that before I had seen the gold coin eyes of the Blade by the Empress’ side. Ah, and then her flat pieces of dull ebony to contrast his. They had been standing so close and then she had laughed. I saw it, a flower blooming in the deep dark night.
Magic indeed.
I drifted away from the massive window and toward the far end of the grand chambers of the vacant Chalice Room . My father had called it the Chalice Room because of the grand ornamented stone goblets that ran along the walls on either side of a wide aisle, making an elongated space where politics could merge or divide in its rift.
It was here all the meets with the kingdoms were held. In the middle was the round stone table, large enough and fit for Kings and just a moment ago it had been stuffed with every inch of the continent. The Ten Kings, or, rather our four border kingdoms that could come to us within a week, had gathered here in the tallest of castles, but to what end?
I wondered.
My eyes followed the walls. Paintings, taller than two able men on top of each other’s shoulders, were hung between the lit oil-chalices. King after King draped in deep rich velvets, queens and offspring, squeezed into gilded frames. More often than not, there were more than seven people stacked together in dim rooms and posing.
As I walked, their lifelike eyes followed me. Even my own green gaze, almost hidden behind the black sorrow veil that honored my late father, seemed eager to stalk me through the fabric on my stroll. It would stay like that for five years, covered with black silk to grieve The Great Fifth King. The Wall To The North. Praise in his name.
My face twitched, entirely involuntary, and I quickened my pace for the next two paintings until I got where I had wanted to go.
I stopped at the end of the aisle and came closer to the portrait, larger still than the rest and looking almost empty as there were only three people in the dim light of a dark background.
Kōrudo, The Cold. The Emperor.
Ohtani, The Sun Smile.
His lovely tragic wife that looked like she had never smiled in a hundred years, and now she never would. And then, there, holding her mother’s hand; their little daughter.
Empress Shiroin. The Pure One.
I almost laughed out loud at the nickname.
I had seen this portrait many a time of course. I had admired that oddity of the first girl to be born in the imperial line for a thousand years, but now that I had seen her in person, had had her presence just a breath away from mine, I never imagined an artist to be so wrong about a face.
The portrait looked like her, the likeness was there, no doubt, but he had caught her wrong. The artist’s hand must have begged him to dot those two fictive pearls of oil-white in her black gaze, add that tint of pink life on her cheeks and erase some of that hatred that blazed out of her face like the cutting rays of sun in my valley.
She had only been five when the painting had come into creation, so small a human, but in truth not looking like a human at all. Despite the artist’s efforts.
“Have you fallen in love?”
The quiet voice behind me, slightly distorted into more whispery voices speaking simultaneously, sent my heart racing and made me whip my head over my shoulder.
When I immediately spotted the menacing cloaked figure of Hinrich, standing in the middle of the Chalice Room, appeared out of thin air, my stomach did a small flip as unease hit it.
His cloak moved as if under water, wavering around his ankles and framing his pale face irregularly. Hinrich’s mass was see-through. An undead ghost. The Mask of Kaiserhof.
I sighed dramatically in a smile, suppressing the urge to flee, and turned back to the painting. My eyes once more seeking Shiroin’s pits.
“Yes always, and with everyone. It’s not a sporadic occurrence it’s a chronic condition. You should adapt my philosophies, Hinrich, then perhaps you wouldn’t look like a wraith who wants to crawl down a well and haunt it.”
Though I had my back to him, I could sense the Mask had glided closer while I talked. His presence had changed the temperature of the room.
“My philosophies are my own, they don’t need outside pollution. And wells are only haunted by dead whore-babes. Not men. I fish for them when my work demands bones and rotting flesh.” He said, quietly, the wisp of a voice far away and carried to my castle with death magic.
By the Gods he was a creepy sort of errand boy. We had been dealing with each other since the Empress had first vanished and I had almost gotten used to it by now, his unsettling being and ghoul magic, but admittedly not totally.
“Gone to the Gods through a wet hole.” I joked lightly, “what an enchanting way to depart this world. Out the way we came in, and frequently visits, no?”
He wasn’t actually a ghost of course. I would not have had the stomach to engage if he had been dead.
When I turned, his mouth was sour, disgust crinkling one side of his straight nose sitting on his translucent face.
“If you’re talking about sticking your cock in somewhere, it better be the Empress.” The light in the room did not fall on him, and he cast no shadow.
“Now now, Hinrich, manners. I am still a King after all.”
“Not my King.” He was a statue, staring at me and pissing me right in the face without a flinch. Then he added:
“Did she comply to the marriage?”
I threw my head back in a loud laugh. The Chalice Room made it sound like a roar.
“Comply?! Good Sir, Have you met her?”
Hinrich’s expression told me that he hadn’t and that he had no interest of ever doing so. All he wanted was his master’s orders carried out. He was an unsettling figure, but a good lapdog, to the right lap.
“If you cannot deliver, we will recruit one of the others. Errin’s King is unwed too.”
“Are you threatening me with ‘The sickling from the swamps’? I have the wall, the army, the looks and I am what they call a ‘team player’. I’m a quality bargain.” I smiled wider and tilted my head, “Besides. If you just wanted an unwed King to lock down the Empress with a ring, or stick something still up her dress, why not use your own?”
I knew exactly why. I was dealing a friendly blow, aimed right up under Hinrich’s arm at the only spot I knew he was truly sore.
“Hm, why hasn’t Eckhart apparition joined us here at Tall Castle to seduce the Grand Empress?”
In a blink his ghost was nose to nose with me. Hinrich wasn’t actually dead. His young, able, body was alive and well in Kaiserhof, but his spirit, tainted and twisted as it were, was right here with me. And though he was not haunting me, the illusion of terror, in that moment, was rather convincing.
I gulped.
Hinrich could not touch me, I had tested that when I had thrown a book at him the first time he came to me, but he was freezing my blood.
“Never take my King’s name in your dirty mouth.” His warning was slow and hateful.
There was a long pause where I could only see his sunken in eyes and feel the ice.
I slowly wet my lips with the tip of my tongue. My bones were shaking.
“Are we about to share our first kiss?” I whispered.
Another pause slid by, in which Hinrich processed my third joke of the day. Then he drifted backwards. Not amused at all.
“Deria, the quick. You think you are so smart,” his gaze darkened “but you know nothing. Make her say yes. Force her to be your ring.” The word ‘ring’ was a quiet bark his mouth.
“Force her? And how would I do that. Let me tell you, she almost stabbed me twice already, I’m sure she’s eager to actually spear me through my throat the third time I give her an excuse.”
Heinrich didn’t hesitate.
“Use the war.”
My smile fell.
“… Retract my forces? Then the empire loses two thirds of the world army.”
The Mask didn’t blink and he didn’t answer.
“But… Then the war is not ours. The Elsalvians could win, we don’t know their numbers with utmost certainty. Hinrich, people would die -A lot of people, my people your people, everyone! And mine are the first to meet the doomsday fire on our doorstep.” I ran a hand through my curls. “It- it’s the thousand year war, by the Gods! I won’t risk all of humankind for a coup at puts me at the top. I am not starved for a power that comes at that price.”
“Do what you have to.”
“You’re not hearing me, I can’t agree-“ I started but Hinrich interrupted me.
“It’s a threat. The Grand Empress will have to take you as her ring, for the sake of the empire. She will fold. Use the war.” Hinrich drifted backwards, his cloak soaring and floating in water that wasn’t there.
“And if she says no? She’s not striking me as a humanitarian.” I bit. I was getting angry now.
“This will happen whether you want it to or not. You cannot stop it.” His strange hissing voice was fading, the winter cold was becoming more tolerable.
I gaped at him in disbelief before I found my reply.
“Maybe I can stop you. I could expose your little illegal spells to the worlds, the other kingdoms, and then you’d be burned before the rooster is crowing on the last day of this week.”
His face scrunched up as he snarled.
“Try, and you will know what true horror looks like.”
I opened my mouth but closed it again.
“That’s right. Do what you have to do. Or we will, King Deria.”
My name hung in the air for a moment and then the Mask was gone. Disappeared and dissolved like a drop of ink in the running river.
I stared at the spot Hinrich had just been. Contemplating how I was a mouse between two mountain lion. He had had a point. If I declined, they would stage their coup around me, shut me out and keep me in the dark while they worked their sorcery to manipulate the fate of the world.
My hands became fists of their own as I strode out of the Chalice Room.
“Fucking magic.”

Helloo :) could I please get a reading on messages my spirit guides might be trying to communicate to me? Also maybe on how I can better communicate with them? Im a cap sun, pisces moon and libra rising btw :) -Em
Hello, baby. How are you? Yay! I’m a cap sun too! I used Rider White and Oracle of Gaia for you!!
A message from your guides: Seven of Cups, Princess of Cups, Six of Pentacles, The Emperor (reversed), The Death, Seven of Wands.
There are several messages that your guides want to share with you. Everyone has a relationship with love and opportunities, but I think I should explain them to you from the different perspectives that are presented to me.
First, your guides ask you to accept the offers of love that are appearing in your life. Both in your nearest present and in the future, love offers will begin to come into your life and you must be willing to accept them. At least, ask your guides, listen to what people want to share with you. It doesn’t have to be just offers of romantic love, but any offer of love made by a friend, a family member, a co-worker or studies… The guides ask you to be generous with those around you. Generosity is not only giving to others, but also being generous to receive and let people surprise us. Open yourself up to opportunities and don’t let yourself close or that negativity absorbs you completely. Let yourself be pampered by those around you: listen to what they have to tell you and how they declare your love for you. Finally, your guides warn you that there may be someone very interested in you. That’s why your guides ask you to be generous and listen to what all those around you want to communicate to you.
On the other hand, your guides tell you to launch everything you want in your love life. If you’re interested in someone, your guides encourage you to try to approach them. Don’t be afraid, since your reading is full of feelings. Therefore, if you have someone in mind: your guides tell you that it’s time to express your feelings.
Also, a tip from your guides: you must work your self-esteem. There’s a great disharmony in some aspect of your life that must be solved. Seeing your reading, I understand that it can be related to relationships and love. It’s essential to solve this unstable situation, as it could start to cause problems for your future. I feel you a little closed in yourself or, at least, that may begin to happen in the near future. You must stop any negative thoughts that fill your mind or control your attitudes and actions. Negativity doesn’t have to dictate which path you should choose in your life. Things are more positive than you think, so I ask you to do a reset and start taking care of yourself as you should. It may be hard for you to believe that opportunities to meet people will come to your life, but opportunities are waiting for you to let them in to surprise you.
Your guides warn you that there will be unstable situations that you must face. These situations will be caused by you or external factors that are in your life. Generosity, as I mentioned before, will play a fundamental role in preventing this instability. Therefore, don’t forget the word generosity! It’s something that your guides repeat a lot during your reading. You must be generous with those around you and, especially, with yourself: let others take care of you and, most importantly, allow yourself to take care of yourself. Take a moment every day and do what you enjoy, meditate, walk through the park… This way you can get to know yourself more deeply and start loving yourself in the right way.
How can you improve your communication with them? Knight of Swords, Nine of Pentacles (reversed), The Chariot, The Empress.
Abundance will not always be on your side, and right now it isn’t when you communicate with your guides. You might not be doing it correctly. If you’re trying a specific method, your guides ask you to try other ways to talk to them. However, I think it’s your way of addressing them what you’re doing incorrectly. You shouldn’t speak from negativity or necessity, but from humility and practice detachment. The need, the feeling of emptiness or insecurity aren’t good drivers to get in touch with them.
On the other hand, your guides ask you to communicate more clearly with them. They aren’t able to fully understand you: clear and direct communication will be the best. Don’t be afraid to talk to them, but do so simply and directly. Also, your guides ask for action. They cannot manifest what you ask if you don’t act in sync with them. Things don’t appear out of nowhere if we don’t act in line with them. Do you want to get your wishes? Ask for light to get them, but keep fighting for them actively. Your guides need you to take an active position and move towards everything you want. Don’t stagnate, but act cautiously and on firm ground. Don’t expect others to make the necessary changes, or wait uselessly for the changes to happen on their own: do something to get them going.
Pay attention and identify your selfish, dominant, controlling or possessive behaviors. When you exercise your roles in an extremist way: either you think too much about your interests and neglect those who depend on you. The means of avoiding it’s the practice of respecting the other and contacting unconditional love in you.
An advice for you: Yin-Yang: Creating harmony through balance.
At this moment there’s disharmony in some area of your life because you don’t accept certain aspects of your personality. Nothing is wrong with you. Every feature or quality you have serves a very valuable purpose. In addition, whatever trait or quality you create you really need it. Make a list of everything you don’t like about yourself; then think about how each of these traits serves you and others in some way. Then, make another list of everything you like about yourself. It’s natural that you think that your positive qualities undoubtedly serve you and others; however, for every positive quality you perceive there’s a negative. Now think about the negative aspects of the positive qualities they perceive. This process takes a little time, and requires you to open your mind and your heart. It’s an exercise that is definitely worth it, since in the end you will see that nothing is really good or bad. Everything serves you and others. Having, accepting and loving what is there, without wanting to change it, you’ll experience a happier, healthier and more harmonious life.
I love and accept everything that I am. There is nothing to change, there is only love. Every feature I possess serves me and others in some way. Loving what I have, I create health, wealth and harmony. Everything I accept and love becomes a greater love.
Good luck, Em!
