I already have so much anxiety about not going into work because I'm ill, and being asked "what's wrong. You definitely can't come in? Will you come in tomorrow we really need you just take some paracetamol I'm sure you'll be fine" really did not help

arakawa's interchangeability between calling sawashiro 'jo' and 'sawashiro' makes me loco cause i cant really discern when he decides to refer to him as one or the other. except i can.
when it comes to 'professional' matters (i.e. explaining the 'arakawa party' to ichi and explaining the coup against aoki) he refers to him as 'sawashiro'
Tumblr media Tumblr media
alternatively, when speaking directly to him and personal matters (i.e. asking ichiban for the two of them to get along) he calls him 'jo' (this literally the same scene as the 'arakawa party' bye you might be able to argue this can be a professional matter too tbh ngl--)

so when arakawa calls sawashiro 'jo' while explaining The Murder to ichi on new years day bitch im going to eat dry wall

Its been 6 monthsšŸ˜­šŸ˜­ pleaasseeee make a part 2 of the android x human story im begginggggšŸ˜­
-Hā¤ļø
Yandere! Android x Reader (II)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Featuring your assigned android partner who is not as devoid of humanity as you originally thought.
Content: female reader, AI yandere, mildly NSFW, based on Caves of Steel
[Part 1] | [More original works]
Tumblr media
The case had been solved.
Not only that, but you'd managed to prove that human officers were just as efficient as their robot counterparts. The Commissioner was beyond ecstatic, pacing back and forth in his office and finding new ways to praise your detective skills.
"That'll show those Spacers. They think some glorified tin box can match our skill?"
You frowned at his words and glanced to your side, where the android was sitting. He observed the Commissioner with the same polite smile, no hint of disagreement on his features. Was he not insulted? You questioned him once the formal meeting had finished.
"I have no reason to be offended, (Y/N). It is a personal opinion, and thus I have no control over it."
"So you don't mind people disliking robots to such an extent?"
He pondered your statement.
"I would certainly be upset if it was you who harbored the disdain. The beliefs of other humans hold no meaning to me otherwise."
You couldn't tell if he said it out of politeness, or if he actually meant it. Most likely the former, in order to part on good terms. After all, your partnership has reached its completion. He'd return to the Spacer Colony with his report on human customs, and you'd go back to your regular job.
Except he never left. Days later, he was still sipping on his morning coffee, lounging at your table. You fiddled with your cup in contemplation. Was there anything else left to do?
"When are you leaving, actually?"
The pale man raised his eyebrows in mild surprise.
"Is my presence here of such significant disturbance?"
"What? No!" you swiftly exclaimed, stumbling on your words. His lips widened in yet another cheeky grin. He was teasing you again.
"My assignment on Earth is done, thus I should have returned to the Colony already. That's what you're wondering about, yes? I am awaiting a response from my superiors."
"Whether you can go back?"
"No, whether my transfer has been accepted. I have applied to be your permanent partner."
You could feel your cheeks burning with heat. Was it that obvious to the synthetic that you enjoyed his company? Then again, he wouldn't have gone through such motions just for your sake.
"Why did you..." you probed sheepishly. There was no logical reason for him to keep working in a poorer, less advanced environment.
"Because I want to continue spending time with you."
Nonsense. An artificial being wouldn't make its decision based on such mundane, emotional reasons.
"I don't believe you."
"I understand. It is a faulty answer to come out of a machine. Though unlike common AI assistants, we have been invested with the capacity to develop likes and dislikes. Interests. Wants. It helps with variety and individualization."
"And you want to stay here? If I didn't know you any better, I'd say you have a crush on me or something", you attempted to joke.
A few moments of uncomfortable silence. Had you gone too far with your humor? Was it too clichƩ of a sentence? You turned away, tucking some strands of hair behind your ear. You just had to be witty, huh?
"I'm afraid I do not know what to tell you, (Y/N)."
"You don't need to say anything, it was a poor choice of-"
"Many social aspects have been implemented into my behavioral network. Workplace rapport, friendships, intimate relationships. What seems to be lacking is the transition from one to another. I know how to act as a romantic partner, but how does one achieve such a title in the first place?"
You gazed at him, incredulous. What was he trying to say?
"I am trying to convey that I am indeed infatuated with you. Which, then, makes my initial explanation dishonest: while I do appreciate our fruitful work cooperation, it is not a main reason for my decision. I hope this clears up any misunderstandings."
You'd never been a romantic. You sometimes flipped through sample pages of contemporary romance books at stores and community centers, but they always felt forcefully cheesy. Predictable. Consequently, you never had any grand dreams of passionate confessions under the rain.
On the other hand, you also didn't expect to be asked out in such a mechanical, calculated manner. Or that a machine would be the suitor. Yet there was something charming about his approach. For the first time since meeting him at the border, you saw him struggle. There was something human-like in his uncertainty.
You stood up from the table, and walked towards the android. Then, you placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder, expressing the mutual feeling and understanding.
His eyes bore an eerie glint to them. It was most kind of you to offer a common ground, but he knew better. The affections you held for him were, with utmost certainty, a mere fraction of whatever overwhelmed him from the moment he encountered you. Limerence, obsession, compulsion, there were many definitions that aptly described his otherwise unexplainable desires towards you. Even more unexplainable was the fact they'd evolved from a blank slate, a programmed agent with no previous knowledge on feelings or humans.
You noticed his hesitation.
"Is there anything else troubling you presently?" you nudged.
Nothing of immediate urgency. Well, not for you, at least. The android remained thoughtful. What were the variables which needed to be met in order to initiate a sexual encounter? Would it have been inappropriate for him to suggest intercourse straight after this conversation? To him, it was a natural escalation he'd considered many times in the past. To you, it could've come as a sudden, crass, and hurried proposal.
He reached for your wrist and discreetly pressed a thumb against your skin. Judging from your resting heart rate, facial expression, and localized temperature, there was a fair chance you wouldn't reject his advances. Once the statistical risk had been assessed, he pulled you in for a kiss.
"Would it be possible to continue this in your bedroom?" he inquired, standing up.
"Alright, just don't...ask for approval for every single step" you retorted. You'd rather not become a narrator of your own pounding.
Tumblr media
You open your eyes with a squint, greeted by unexpected natural light flooding your bedroom. Someone mustā€™ve lifted the hologram blinds.
ā€œMy apologies, I hadnā€™t considered the discomfort it would cause you. My Spacer colony uses artificial lightning, though I am becoming rather fond of the natural sun rays here.ā€
Your android partner is meticulously preparing his outfit for the day. Judging by the stark nakedness and the glistening skin, you suppose heā€™s had a shower while you were still sleeping. You involuntarily furrow your brows and blush at the sight. He notices your embarrassment.Ā 
ā€œA most surprising reaction. You have seen the very same genital organā€¦ā€, he says as he quicklyĀ checks his wristwatch, ā€œ...precisely eight hours and forty-five minutes ago.ā€
ā€œItā€™s justā€¦most people get dressed once they start doing other things. I also wear a towel for coverage when I come out of the shower.ā€
He processes your words.
ā€œHmmm. Illogical, but it explains your reaction.ā€
You stand up and stretch with a prolonged yawn. Suddenly, a revelation hits you: your mind flashes with images of the android fondling your body, your ears ring with the shameless moans youā€™ve let out throughout the night. Your face turns pale.
ā€œListen, when is your next functional inspection?ā€ you ask, without waiting for the synthetic to answer. ā€œWill they, uhā€¦will they have access to all of your memories?ā€
You know that the android permanently records all data and saves it into a memory unit. Itā€™s a pointless fear, of course. The Spacers couldnā€™t care less about irrelevant details. If the intended tasks are fulfilled, what happens on the side is out of their concern. Yet you donā€™t exactly appreciate the possibility of your personal deeds airing like this, before the eyes of multiple engineers.Ā 
ā€œYou may rest assured, whatever involves your privacy will not be included in the examination.ā€
ā€œDo you get to decide what is checked and what isnā€™t?ā€
ā€œNo, most data is sampled randomly.ā€
You stare at him, confused.
ā€œThen how-ā€
ā€œIt is not common practice, nor encouraged by our code of ethics. I can, however, choose which information is available to begin with.ā€
ā€œWhat? I thought youā€™re fully controlled by whoever created you. If they so desired, couldnā€™t they open you up and take whatever they require?ā€
The robot smiles at your assumption and takes a few steps towards you.
ā€œOnce an android model is finished, one can no longer modify the processor. Not without compromising everything else with it. It is not a device to be deconstructed, (Y/N).ā€ He taps his temple, then continues: ā€œI am a biocomputer. While most of my parts are mechanical, my processor is a cortical organoid developed in a laboratory. A human brain, if you will.ā€
Somehow, the discovery fills you with dread. A living organ, encapsulated within a machine.Ā What does that say about consciousness? About self-awareness? The Spacers didn't just tinker with metal scraps and smart computers. They artificially birthed life.
You were always under the impression that your robot companion is closer to the computer you have on your desk. Billions of lines of code within a black box, which then lead to spontaneous, novel interactions with the outside world. To think that at the very core of his functions lies a clump of living cells...
Perhaps you weren't so different, after all. The line between machines and humans is suddenly blurred.

Astrology Notes III
ā‹†ą±Øą§ŽĖšāŸ”Ė– ą£Ŗā‚Šā€§Ā°
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Disclaimer, these are observations I have made through personal experience and thorough research, observations also vary depending on other natal placements involved
doesnā€™t resonate ā‰  untrueĀ 
Tumblr media
ā™… Pluto in the 10th house has a tendency to come across as very overbearing in the workplace. This is having a routinely structure you want to have done precisely every day, so this makes you ask your coworker if they want you to do the coffee run for a meeting, staying past closing time to make sure everything is in place, doing 10x as much work as your coworkers because you like things in a certain order.
it also causes coworkers to think of you as someone whoā€™s willing to step over them in order to appear as this solid leader who is better than them ( and often times this does manifest in the native) but mostly it is subconscious.
It honestly reminds of the devil wears Prada where Andrea gets so good at guessing what Mirandaā€™s expectations are that she goes over the top in order to please her and it gets to the point she manages to snag the trip to Paris that has always been given to Emily in the singular year sheā€™s worked at the magazine. Andrea being Pluto person who unknowingly becomes the ā€˜betterā€™ assistant.
ā™… Thereā€™s a natural discomfort when one has the Moon placed in the first house, especially if placed in signs like Aquarius or Capricorn due to the fact that their emotions are put on display which is a forced vulnerability.Ā 
I actually find fire placements (not typically Sagittarius) who actually find enjoyment in their faces being easily read? One because fire placements are less inclined to hide their feelings, and two because they can be a bit impatient to get their point acrossĀ 
ā™… Virgo placements are kinda funny in the sense that theyā€™re not necessarily clean freaks, they wonā€™t go out of their way to clean someoneā€™s room because itā€™s dirty, but they are obviously very precise with their own mess, they donā€™t like being messy themselves you know? Itā€™s not seen as a second nature to clean but rather an obligation for them because they need clean spaces in order to be productive with an active Mercury influence.Ā 
I actually find it very common for Virgo placements to have an ā€œorganized messā€ too. They know where they left their green paperclip in their messy rooms (itā€™s under the left desk leg).Ā 
ā™… Taurus placements , fixed signs in general, but especially Taurus placements grow up with a specific set of beliefs and morals that they follow through and through. Itā€™s because of their fixed nature that they will refuse to change, in fact Taurus placements consider their perspective to be so correct, if afflicted, Taurus placements can be the hardest to evolve in your chart.Ā 
ā™… cancer risings tend to attract very dangerous men/women due to Scorpio being in their 5th house, this is actually why cancers fall under the sweet damsel in distress who dates the big bad boys in romantic tropes a lot lol but yes they actively seek people who have a dark reputation or damaged past as lovers
ā™… People with Mars in the 12th house are often accused of being unmotivated and lazy by people in their life but it actually stems from the fact that mars is uncomfortable being in a house thatā€™s connected to the unconscious mind while craving the open expression of anger and ambition mars naturally is. I actually find they overthink their actions. You can remind a person with mars in the 12th house to take out the trash before bed because the garbage collectors come tomorrow and they will spend the whole day cleaning the house, drain their energy and say ā€œIā€™ll just wake up early and do it tomorrowā€ but they never doĀ šŸ˜­Ā They confuse themselves!!Ā 
itā€™s also interesting to note a person with a 12th house prominence that includes mars will be defensive about their said actions. ā€œTake out the trashā€ ā€œI was already planning on doing it but now I donā€™t want toā€. I include 12th house prominence because a mars in the 12th also has stealthy actions and thoughtsĀ šŸ¤«
ā™… People with their 4th house ruler in the 7th house will have emotional withdrawals if their routine does not involve socializing with others. Youā€™ll typically see this in people who choose to search for roommates during college, move in with close friends to ā€œsave on rentā€ or choose to never move out of their parents home ( I support this in this economy lol)
youā€™ll also see this in people who are serial daters, not to say that their relationships donā€™t impact them greatly, but they feel a requirement to express their feelings with others.Ā 
Could make great therapists too actually
ā™… Mercury square saturn people need precise instructions whenever they do something. Mercury can be very sporadic in square aspects because their communication is being misconstrued the same way a radios antennae need to be arranged in a certain wayĀ Ā in order to get signal. With Saturn representing structure, they prefer very detailed instructions on pretty much anything. You need them to get a wrench? Itā€™s on the left? Top, middle, or bottom? And what color is it? Is it in the back or front of the cabinet?Ā 
Also, Mercury square Saturn people, weā€™re you the kids whoā€™s dad yelled at them for holding the flashlight the wrong way when fixing something?Ā 
ā™… I find it very funny when Aquarius placements are dubbed the people who change the world with their innovative ideas because you will connect that to them actively trying to improve society but itā€™s actually because they just want life to be easier to navigate for themselves. Theyā€™re the type to invent flying cars, not for the next Industrial Revolution that will forever change man once again, but because they want a cheaper way to save on overseas travelĀ šŸ˜­. Donā€™t get the wrong idea, a lot of them realize their potential and eventually use their ideas for good, but it usually starts off as very personal and self serving.Ā
