watching jujutsu kaisen with someone who's never seen it before is an exercise in finding a balance between lying by omission and just outright lying to avoid spoiling things

Summer fling❤️‍🔥

Relatioship observations

work by astrobydalia

❤️‍🔥 A thing about Virgo Venus is that since this is Venus’ fall they tend to be socially awkward or have struggles reading the room. The type to make jokes or remarks that are a bit too direct and low-key break the mood. They tend to behave in ways that comes across as robotic or dry

❤️‍🔥 A similar thing happens with Scorpio/Aries Venus too (venus is debilitated here as well) they tend to behave in ways that breaks social harmony by being a little too bold or even scandalous (Examples of this energy: Marilyn Monroe, Doja Cat)

❤️‍🔥In general, unless the rest of the chart says otherwise, debilitated Venus positions gives the native low charisma and lower ability to blend in socially. Their demeanor tends to be too forward or rub people the wrong way.

❤️‍🔥What is up with Leo placements and becoming romantically obsessed with people that reject them? Either that or they enjoy perusing people who they "shouldn't" be with like authority figures or someone that is way out of their league

❤️‍🔥Just like Jupiter in a woman's chart tells you how her husband will be, I feel like Jupiter in man's chart will tell you what kind of husband he'll be to be honest

​❤️‍🔥​ Whenever I had Vertex in the 5th house of a Solar Return, romance was a significant thing during those years!! However it was always flings, situationships and stuff like that. The sign with gives more nuance like one year I had it in Sagittarius and I had a fleeting romance with a foreigner

❤️‍🔥 With debilitated moon (Capricorn/Scorpio Moon) I've noticed these natives tend to believe or feel like love is conditional. Things like loyalty, trust and care are earned and come with a price or you have to jump thorough endless hoops first in order to get them. They refuse to be vulnerable so they expect the other person to show their cards first and then MAYBE if you earn their trust they'll open up too but good luck with that LMAO.

❤️‍🔥 That being said, I noticed men with Capricorn/Scorpio Moon tend to marry a woman that is very self-righteous and controlling. Their choice for a life partner tends to be... yikes

❤️‍🔥 Capricorn/Scorpio Moon can be the type to be skeptical of the idea of true love. The difference is Scorpio Moons are most likely to convert into the lovey-dovey train once they find their person cause being water sign deep down they crave that intimacy. However Capricorn Moons are most likely to freeze their heart out even when their soulmate is right in front of them, unfortunately the more time passes the more cap moons tend to harden their hearts

❤️‍🔥 Scorpio Moon’s greatest fear is to be alone I’ve noticed. And yeah nobody wants that but trust me for Scorpio Moon this is a HUGE thing. When I say they crave intimacy I mean they CRAVE intimacy. If they could hot glue their loved ones to their body so they’re connected to them for life like siamese twins, they would.

❤️‍🔥 Taurus Moons are just as obsessive and sexual as scorpio moons, literally copy paste. They can also be just as toxic when underdeveloped. The difference is taurus moons are more nurturing and if they don't want you to leave they'll create a paradise or "golden cage" for you (vs Scorpio moons who tend to resort to emotional or mind games for this purpose). I was also surprised to discover how needy taurus moons become once they like you?? Idk how to explain it but it's like they wanna insert you in every aspect of their lives and low-key gatekeep you LMAO. On the other hand Scorpio Moons will push you away and play cat and mouse for a while if they see themselves catching feelings

❤️‍🔥In my opinion both moons (Scorpio and taurus) tend to seek possessiveness or control in their relationships and they usually have the upper hand or the most power I've noticed

❤️‍🔥Praying for gen z babies born under Scorpio Venus cause a lot of them have that placement square Aquarius Neptune and that combo is.... ooof. Romanticizing toxic delusional love that brainwashes the shit out of them YALL NEED TO WAKE THE FUCK UP

❤️‍🔥 When someone has their planets in your 12th house sign you have a fogged perception of this person, you tend to idolize them cause there are parts of them that you're blind to. However this person will feel confident in knowing your psyche as well as the unconscious motives behind your actions. This person has a knack to naturally know how to appeal to unconscious desires or fears you weren't even aware you had. For this reason you'll find this person either triggering and scary OR very addictive cause it almost feels like they penetrate your soul

❤️‍🔥 With that being said, people with planets in your 12th house are the best therapists for you or best people to vent to. Water houses in general can apply, but I feel like 12th house is better for this cause it rules over spiritual and emotional healing/cleansing specifically. This person can help you untangle your unconscious and you can feel sooooo much relief after talking or being with them. This will only apply if you trust them and they have good intentions ofc, otherwise they'll actually feed into your unconscious fears and make them worse

❤️‍🔥 People with placements on your 8th house secretly dislike and/or envy you, but still feel the need to be close with you cause they low-key wanna tear you down, wanna see you fail, wanna keep taps on you to make sure aren't too successful. I've seen SOOOOO many toxic fake friendships with this synastry... Although I've previously talked about positive manifestations of this overlay too, frankly this dynamic is what I've observed for the most part with this synastry if im honest with you

❤️‍🔥 I totally agree with @zeldasnotes when she said 8th house synastry is only good/tolerable when there’s mutual sexual attraction between the two, otherwise it’s annoying af. I believe this is because the two people can easily use sex to release all the intensity and tension between them instead of letting it build up or channeling it through toxic emotions like envy

❤️‍🔥 Okay but have you ever been genuinely loved by an Aries placement? When their heart is in it, they'll have unshakable loyalty. They’d move mountains for you, kill and fight for you. They are THE ride or dies

❤️‍🔥 A thing that I've seen a lot with women who have debilitated Jupiter (Virgo, Gemini, Capricorn) is that they have a husband that prioritized his work over their marriage/family. The husband is often away due to work or duties or just emotionally unavailable in general. These women tend to give up something about their life after marriage because they had to accommodate to their husband's life style, like if she has to move or give up her own job to be with him she will. For example: Grace Kelly (Gemini Jupiter) who quit acting after marring the prince of Monaco. Hailey Bieber (Capricorn Jupiter) who was exposed to a lot more public attention after marrying Justin and she said herself she's had to learn to adapt that being new part of her life now

❤️‍🔥 Another big thing I've seen with Saturn influence in the 7th house is that your spouse will have big, BIG ambitions. People only talk about Jupiter or Venus but to be real with you, Saturn is an underrated indicator for your spouse being wealthy. This placement indicates that your spouse is stablished, successful and can easily provide stability for you. All the people I've seen with this placement married someone who had a business!!!!, their own house, a successful career, a household name, a higher position, etc

What I mean by Saturn influence on the 7th (for both Vedic and Tropical): Saturn in the 7th house Capricorn or Aquarius DSC 7th ruler in the 10th house (also maybe 11th house) or vice versa Saturn darakarka

❤️‍🔥 Mars-Pluto aspects definitely will make someone have pretty extreme kinks

❤️‍🔥 I’ve seen this a lot in Pisces Moons and Aries Moons that they low-key wanna be babied in a relationship or they subconsciously end up being the one who’s more coddled and taken care of by their partner

❤️‍🔥 Aries and Gemini placements in the composite chart is indicative of a relationship that likely won't last long-term. I've seen this placement in long lasting marriages too but their relationships gave off fling vibes, really playful, they type where people said they wouldn't last

❤️‍🔥 I’ve seen Saturn in the 7th house synastry manifesting as the opposite of commitment. The Saturn person blocks off the possibility of having a committed relationship with the house person and the house person feels abandoned

❤️‍🔥 With that being said Saturn in synastry/composite can indicate rejection in that area and things one or both parties will deprive the other of or deny them. For example Saturn in the 8th synastry/composite can mean one person refused to have sex with the other or there are many conditions and restrictions in the sex life of both

❤️‍🔥 Aquarius and Capricorn Mars/Venus are SO good at hiding their attraction from you. They'll watch from afar for some time before making some move meanwhile you'll be clueless of their interest

❤️‍🔥 Moon square Neptune is an aspect that makes someone emotionally insecure, the type to need constant reassurance that you still love them. Can also be emotionally manipulative in very subtle almost undetectable ways

❤️‍🔥 Earth Venus find it very easy to engage in casual dating/hook up culture because they know how to not get too attached. They have a hyper awareness of what purpose a certain relationship is serving them at the moment so they act accordingly

❤️‍🔥 On the other hand I’ve noticed Air Venus natives have a tendency to play around because they know they get the ick quickly. But it's all fun and games until they end up catching feelings accidentally 😭

❤️‍🔥 My experience having Gemini Jupiter in the 7th house: Yes all my suitors/dates have been foreigners but the cultural difference was never that big. They usually came from a country close to mine or their cultural background was very similar from mine

Liu Woods Headcannons

The people have spoken! On a poll that I made, I asked if yall wanted me to post my own stuff and…. Oh god- I set it for a week cuz I thought no one would see it- 40 FUCKING PEOPLE RESPONDED-

So, I hear you! I’m gonna start with just random head cannons cuz… yeah…

TW!!!

Suicide, Murder (duh), abusive families, definitely not the Liu most ppl know.

I will put a warning before each group of bullets.

Least Sensitive >> Mildly Sensitive >> Most Sensitive

The first two aren’t head cannons-

I pronounce it like “Lee-oh” (Leo). I made a post about it earlier. However, I’ve said it like “Loo” for a long time- I’m tryna break that habit

He is my favorite. I remember seeing a post that was judging ppl based on their fav creepypasta…. No I won’t shut up about him.

HEAD CANNON TIME

General

He’s Chinese. Jeff is his half brother on their mom’s end. There is no fucking way an American kid would have a Chinese name.

So, Liu moved from China when he was 5 and his mom married Peter. Jeff was born when he was 7.

When Liu was young he didn’t have many friends cuz his English sucked and his little brother wasn’t even a year old.

He likes brownies and cinnamon rolls like their made of gold

Man can cook 🧑‍🍳 🤌

Has a bunch of plants that he forgets exist and cries when they die

Boy is tough. A lot of ppl see him as a teeny bean, hell nah!

Wears combat boots, skinny jeans, and sweaters consistently.

The scarf is to cover scars.

He’s about 6’5 (nearly 200cm).

Murder, Gore, Blood

Mainly uses a crowbar to beat his victims to death.

Remember how I said he wears combat boots? Well those things have heels and he tends to “stun” kill people by jumping up and stomping down on the side of the person’s head. 240lbs in a surface area the size of a US quarter is definitely gonna break your skull.

In the mansion his job doesn’t really revolve around murder as much as it’s about torture. He’s fucking good at it too.

Sexuality, Gender, and Such

He’s gay. You can’t change my mind.

I see him as being Agender and not caring about the pronouns you use for him. (Note: I usually switch up the pronouns but since this is the first HC post I’m making for them, I wanted this to be said first)

Married to EJ. If you don’t like the ship, I’m sorry!

⚠️ SA, CSA, Abuse, Suicide, SH, Grooming ⚠️

DID usually forms before 9yo and I can’t believe him getting DID at 19.

So, he hung himself when he was 19. This is what set Jeff off, because he was the one who found Liu’s body.

So, Keith is about 11 years older than Liu, and, when he was looking for friends, Keith took advantage of them. This lead to Liu basically being groomed until he was 12. I HC that Randy had a lil “crush” on Jeff and Keith kept Liu “out of the way” by consistently r—ping him.

Things at home weren’t great for him either. Peter was under the impression that his mom was a virgin with no kids (incell vibes), and when he found out Liu existed Peter decided to take it out on him. He would be locked in a dark closet of the basement for days on end. If he “misbehaved” too much, Peter would put him in the clothes dryer (also in the basement) for however long he deemed necessary.

Eventually Liu couldn’t take it and he hung himself.

Liu’s Alters and System

⚠️ similar themes from before, drugs/alcohol abuse, religious trauma ⚠️

Hannah: gatekeeper, what Liu “would have been” like if nothing happened.

Jinx: Sexual protector, the response to Keith’s abuse

Sully: Physical protector, response to Peter’s abuse

Jessie: Mental persecutor, encouraged Liu to kill himself.

Leviathan: Trauma holder, response to constant guilt from religious trauma

Vex: persecutor, response to alcohol and drug addiction.

Nigh: Trauma holder, response to all those lonely years

So, about Jeff…

Liu has zero issues with Jeff.

Jeff didn’t kill him, he had to make his way back to life (I will post more abt this another day).

Jeff mispronounced his name, but Liu was too nervous to correct him (bc trauma)

He is about 6yrs older than Jeff.

I probably have other HCs that i forgot, but anyway- that’s all the energy I have rn….

[bimbo-baggins17]

feederism with leo!! he finds you pigging out on leftover pizza in the early hours of the morning (and that's how he discovers your binging habit. he always wondered how you ate like a bird yet had such a pudgy body.), and he absolutely loses it at the way your cheeks are stuffed, fingertips and lips greasy, and chubby tummy distended with all the food you've been sneaking. was the pizza even the first thing you started on? (no, it wasn't!)

so he takes it upon himself to make you a biiiiig breakfast, hearty and filling. why do you need bacon and sausage? so you can stay full, duh! so he tells you he'll feed you, cutting up your syrup soaked pancakes and stuffing your mouth with them. and leo's totally gonna get his rocks off to this later when you're out running errands. he'll have to disguise this as princess treatment again soon <3

THIS REQUEST??? I almost decided to gatekeep it for a bit. Also??? My first Leo piece 🎉

18+ MDNI!! Dddne!!!! Feederism!!! Afab vocabulary. Don’t like, don’t read. You are responsible for you own media consumption!! Requests are still open!:)

☆…━━━━━·:*☆…━━━━━·:*☆…━━━━━·:*☆

Leo peeks his eyes open, checking the LED alarm clock beside him. 7:03. He still had about an hour before it went off. He groans, the noises from the kitchen having woken him. He glances over to your side of the bed and notices you’re gone. What were you doing up?

Throwing the covers off, he pads down the short hallway and comes to a stop at the edge of the kitchen watching as you grab another slice of cold pizza from the box. He’s practically amazed when it only takes you three bites to get over halfway through it, barely allowing yourself to chew or hell, even breathe between them. He leans against the doorway, arms folded across his chest.

His eyes drift down your body, the pudge of your tummy sticking out over the waistband of your sleep shorts. He could tell how bloated and swollen it was as if you’d shoved multiple slices down your throat already. Do you do this every morning? It would explain the weight gain despite how he notices you just picking at food throughout the day.

When he sees you reach for another slice, he lets you take another bite before clearing his throat.

You whip around, looking like a deer in the headlights with your cheeks full, grease smeared around your mouth and on your fingers. Leo lets out a soft chuckle. “Hungry?”

Your cheeks flush a deep shade of red embarrassed that he caught you. “I-I..yeah..sorry..” You respond through a mouthful.

He shakes his head and pushes off the wall and walks over to you. “Don’t be sorry. Gotta eat to live, yeah?” As he gets close he notices empty cereal bar and cellophane wrappers on the counter as well. You’d been at this for awhile with more than just the pizza.

You swallow the remaining food in your mouth as you meet his blue eyes, almost bracing yourself for the inevitable judgement but there’s none. He lifts his thumb and brushes some crumbs from your face before popping it into his own mouth and sucking it clean it. “How about you sit down and I’ll cook you something more filling, doll?”

Nodding your head lightly, you take a seat on one of the at the breakfast bar. Your mind was still trying to understand why he didn’t judge you for what he just saw.

Leo moves around the kitchen getting pans and ingredients out. Pancakes, bacon, AND sausage. That’s what he decides to make for you.

You notice and your eyebrows draw together slightly. “Sausage and bacon?” You question.

He glances over his shoulder as he dollops pancake batter onto another pan. “Of course. Gotta make sure my pretty girl is full, yeah?”

Your cheeks flush a little. He just caught you engorging yourself and he calls you pretty? You nod your head, a small smile on your lips.

When everything’s done, he plates it and brings it over to you, sitting beside you. You reach for your fork but he tuts. “Lemme do it for you. Don’t want you to lift a finger, princess.” He drowns the fluffy pancakes in syrup before cutting off a bite.

“Open up,” He brings a forkful to your mouth. You listen and take the bite off the utensil. “Good girl.” His pupils dilate seeing your tongue poke out to collect some of the extra syrup off your lips.

Leo continues to feed you bite after bite of the breakfast confectionery, alternating between that and the proteins.

Another forkful is presented to you, but you shake your head. “I can’t Leo..’m full.”

He shakes his head back, presenting the fork again. “Oh no, you can still eat more. I know you can.”

You try to protest again but he gives you a look, pushing the bite towards you again. With a sigh you open your mouth for him. “Atta girl.” He praises as his other hand comes to rest on your bloated belly.

Forkful after forkful, Leo continues to “help” you eat through another stack, his eyes constantly moving to your overly full stomach a look of awe in them. You were his good girl. His good, plump and full girl.

You give him a look, the inevitable discomfort setting in. “Leo please. No more.” You say with a full mouth.

A pointed look is thrown your way. “No. You’re gonna keeping eating until I say you’re done.” You try to plead with him using your eyes but he pokes at your mouth with the tips of the fork.

Reluctantly you open up and he happily shoves more into your already full mouth. “Good girl. Such a good girl.” His large hand rests on your engorged belly again, and tries to rub some of the discomfort away though it only makes it worse.

You let out a groan, but he doesn’t pull away. “Just one more bite for me princess,” He says. You start to shake your head but stop as he gives you another look. “One more.” He instructs more firmly.

With a shaky exhale you let him feed you one last big bite of the now soggy with syrup pancakes. “There you go.” He murmurs as he watches you chew it and force yourself to swallow despite the ache in your stomach. God this was just as hot, if not more, than when you beg to suck his dick.

Once you’ve swallowed he gives you a quick kiss, tasting the syrup on your lips. “Mm I love you. You’re so good for me.” He says before standing up and clearing the plates.

When you get up he looks over his shoulder seeing just how taut the skin of your stomach was, how it stuck out a little further almost like a balloon. God it was hot to him and he felt his dick twitch in his sleep pants.

He’d have to take care of that once you were out and he would DEFINITELY have to make it a point to feed you like this every chance he got.

[tenshi-agerasia]

who would the minions serve in the ensemble stars universe

the ensemble stars x minions analysis that nobody asked for, under the cut

okay so minions want to serve the most powerful (and evil) guy in the area/time they're in

if they enrolled at yumenosaki prior to the ! era they'd have been looking for a master and might've even worked under shu/valkyrie, who was the top unit at that time

"Imagining shu leading the fucking minions is horrifying"

[shu voice] come, my brethren, and let us engage in performance arts

nazuna and mika are very confused

actually mika would like them i think

but when the first revolution/war began, the minions would've caught sight of exfine and eichi

as exfine rose through the ranks and defeated the eccentrics eichi became immensely famous, and i think at least a third of the minions would serve him just because of this

eichi is easily entertained by them

they piss off keito

hiyori is very biased and can tell each minion apart

he names them things like Flowery One and Revolting One

nagisa does not understand what a minion is

tsumugi can fucking communicate in minionese

that's part of the reason natsume hates him so much. he can understand them and talk to them and it's horrifying

if the minions were to see eichi's actual plans on the surface level, that would be enough for them to see as evil

there's also the possibility that some minions might see eichi as "good" and exfine as heroes so they'd turn to serve the eccentrics instead

the minions don't harass rei because he scares them

they think he'd eat them

natsume does not like these little freaks

kanata has fun with them because i'm pretty sure they can't drown

if they can. well rip

chiaki hypes them up :)

but as far as i've seen in the minions franchise they prefer more powerful figures, and the eccentrics at that time were ostracized

and during the ! era trickstar revolution, eichi is definitely more of a villain character so the minions would attempt to help him

and then accidentally screw him over

wataru would love the minions

they're like tomoyas and little watarus to him

tori would absolutely hate them

he punts one when eichi isn't looking

yuzuru is indifferent but he likes having some help

trickstar is Very Conflicted

subaru and the minions would love each other

hokuto despises everything that they stand for

mao is like. huh. ok.

makoto "eek!"s at the sight of one

in !! era, eichi is less of a hero/villain/morally grey guy and just A Girl . at this point the remaining minions under him would either stay or find a new master, possibly gatekeeper

the minions piss him off very effectively

after kohaku beats up gatekeeper or whatever they start to follow him instead

"i imagine [kohaku] showing rinne and rinne shakes one to death or something"

niki would absolutely wonder what they taste like

himeru talks to the minions

"himeru is confused" "bwahaha!! barosoeflksernuina" "himeru does not like you very much"

yknow how ibara has mouse drones and mayoi keeps destroying them. yeah. that with the minions

ibara's upset that his spies are disappearing and he barges into mayoi's house and there's just a giant nest of minions

after meeting a minion midori's attempted murder count rises from 2 to 25

leo says he "feels inspired" by the minions and then composes the most shit song known to man

[chayscribbles]

space heist intro but it's a comic sans powerpoint i put together in like 15 minutes five months ago

get the pretty, more coherent intro here

text transcript below

slide 1:

THE GEMINI HEIST

a wip by chay luna

working titles include “space heist” and “be gay do crime… in space”

slide 2:

A LONG TIME AGO IN A GALAXY FAR FAR A— *micky mouse sniper gunshots*

we find ourselves in the Wild West of space, where outlaws and criminals can do whatever the hell they want while those supposedly in charge look the other way to protect their own interests

Captain Leonore “Leo” Callisto of the Siren leads a small crew doing various gigs and odd jobs for people all around the sector. yknow, smuggling shit, stealing shit, selling stolen or rare shit, etc

but after the team’s spy, Zeya (who Leo was showing favoritism to for No Particular Reason) takes off with a shitton of money after a spat with Leo, the rest of the crew, no longer trusting Leo’s judgement, decides to ditch her as well, save 2 loyal but very inexperienced members: engineer Gabriola “Gabi” Franco and the crew’s muscle Euna Li

slide 3:

okay so that’s the context, now let’s get to the plot

while searching for work on Space Kijiji, Leo comes upon an offer from a rich, eccentric art collector calling themself the Curator, offering a large money reward to steal a statuette from the House of Dyonas, a powerful and wealthy family on the planet Vihelda that passes along wispy purple telekinesis powers from generation to generation

the statuette is one of the two Gemini Statuettes, which are believed to depict a pair of twins in the Dyonas family from a few generations ago, but the House Head, Andlyn Dyonas, refuses to sell, so the most logical thing to do is to pay someone to steal it, as one does

strapped for cash, Leo accepts, even tho the House of Dyonas is notoriously hard to get into (she has a few tricks up her sleeve ofc, including getting one of the Dyonas House Heirs, the runaway Illiana, to help her)

BUT as she and her tiny ragtag crew embark on this quest, they quickly learn that they’re not the only ones with their eyes on this prize, and ~someone~ on a quest to sabotage them always seems to be a step ahead 👀

slide 4:

okay CHARACTER TIMEEE

[ID: a tall, dark-skinned woman with brown eyes. she has a long, dark braid with ends gradually lightened to blonde. she wears a long, deep red coat with gold accents, a white shirt, tight black pants, black fingerless gloves, and high black boots. there is a weapon with a golden hilt strapped to her leg. her expression is serious. she holds up a black blaster pistol with glowing red accents. end ID.]

CAPTAIN LEONORE “LEO” CALLISTO, the Mastermind

28 years old, she/her, from Tharrekan

is actually a Capricorn, not a Leo

picked up business and finance skills from her relatively successful business people parents

but then one day disaster struck, and Leo had to turn to a life of thieving and smuggling to get by, eventually saving up to get her own ship and crew

she’s really good at making connections and manipulating negotiating with people with her jacked up charisma stat. not so great at forming genuine relationships tho

claims to be an “honest criminal” but yeah that’s a lie, along with pretty much everything else that comes out of her mouth

gaslight gatekeep girlboss <3

is completely normal about Zeya Kade

yeah i really made a wip called “Gemini Heist” and then named my main character LEO kjdfkjs

slide 5:

[ID: a short, chubby light-skinned young woman. she has short brown curls, hazel eyes, and a nervous expression. she wears a white shirt, a green bomber jacket with orange accents, brown arm guards on her forearms, black fingerless gloves, baggy dark blue pants, silver knee pads, brown boots, and a brown tool pouch around her waist. silver tools are tucked into the front pockets of her jacket. a pair of orange-tinted goggles rests on her head. end ID.]

GABRIOLA “GABI” FRANCO, the Engineer

21 years old (the baby of the crew), she/her, from Plana D’Ezza

was studying mechanomedicine (which is, as the name suggests, a mix of mechanics and medicine, specifically to work w cyborgs) in university

secretly did unauthorized repairs on cyborg parts for people who couldn’t afford it, but got caught and got in Big Trouble

anyways now she has a criminal record hanging over her head and massive student debt lmao

idealistic, arguably naive, trying to toughen up (but isn’t very good at it)

has a MASSIVE gay crush on Euna. she thinks she’s being subtle about it but like EVERYONE has noticed. (except for Euna herself, of course.)

slide 6:

[ID: a tall, light-skinned, muscular, east asian-coded woman. she grins as she runs towards the viewer. her peach-coloured hair with dark roots is straight and is half loose just below her shoulders, with two buns at the top of her head. she wears a white tank top with pink straps, an orange jumpsuit tied at the waist, and black boots. a simple silver blaster is tucked into a black holster at her hip. her right arm is a cybernetic prosthesis, attached right above the elbow, and is white with pink accents. end ID.]

EUNA LI, the Brawns

24 years old, she/her, from Siung-Katsa

used to be a moderately successful competitive athlete but preferred performing to competing and impulsively joined a space circus only to find herself trapped in a shitty contract with bad working conditions

and then the Accident™ happened in which she lost her arm, and she was swindled into buying a super expensive cybernetic prosthesis bc she thought it would enhance her performance with the circus

but since it took “too long” for her to recover, the circus managers replaced her without even telling her :( so she pretty much joined the Sirens to pay off her medical bills rip

big arms to give big hugs

doesn’t have the highest intelligence stat tho but she’s trying her best!!!!!

completely oblivious to the fact that Gabi is in love with her lmao (she’s convinced Gabi is only interested in her fancy prosthesis)

slide 7:

[ID: a light-skinned woman with purple curly hair. her eyes glow purple, and she is floating with her arms outstretched, holding two glowing purple wisps in her hands. her expression is serious. she wears a long, white coat, a black sparkly top with purple edging, a purple crystal pendant, black leggings, silver wristbands, and tall white boots. end ID.]

ILLIANA VIVIENNE, SECOND HEIR TO THE HOUSE OF DYONAS, the Informant

23 years old, she/her

daughter of Lord Andlyn of the House of Dyonas, House Head

has an identical twin sister, Kalenora Ismerie, First Heir to the House of Dyonas (yes all their names are like this), who is a few minutes older

Illiana has always been better than Kalen at mastering their inherited powers, which has caused ~tension~ between the sisters over who gets to be the next House Head when their father dies

so Kalen did *stuff* to secure her position and forced Illiana to go on the run and hide out in what is essentially Space Las Vegas under an alias

she gets roped into the heist to help them get into the House of Dyonas, although she is very reluctant to go back there (but is very tired of washing dishes in some dingy Space Vegas bar)

she will get her loyalties tested in more ways than one <3

slide 8:

[ID: a short woman with medium-brown skin. she has straight black hair that reaches just above her shoulders, the left side shaved in an undercut. she is smirking and has a piercing over her left eyebrow, two piercings on her right ear helix, and a navel piercing. she is wearing a black crop top, a blue bomber jacket with purple and pink accents, black leggings, black boots, black fingerless gloves, and two black belts with silver buckles. she is holding two glowing plasma wands (like lightsaber daggers), one pink and one blue. end ID.]

ZEYA KADE, the Rogue

27 years old, she/her

5’1” (this is important i swear)

known as Shadowblade for being sneaky and elusive (and stabby)

so sneaky and elusive, in fact, that even i don’t know much about her

???????????????????????

that’s a lie i know a lot about her i’m just being sneaky and elusive <3

slide 9:

IN CONCLUSION:

[ID: two memes. the first is a picture of Leo with the phrase "I am so normal about Zeya Kade", with the words "I am obsessed with" hidden by the first part of the sentence. the second is a picutre of Zeya with the same text, but the name has been changed to "Leo Callisto".]

that's it that's the wip

[koumeowkami]

Reread through the notes I made and to sum it up, I do think the pararai anime is neat! I knew spoilery stuff about Nayuta since way back when and had a general grasp of the character's trap reactions, but not so much about the general plot (aside from the winners and all) so I don't think I have much thoughts about it?

As a story in of itself though, I like that each group gets their time in the spotlight but apparently TCW doesn't get a full performance?— My notes kept mentioning it and I seemed a little annoyed—

Also live love laugh Ryu being a menace. It was enjoyable enough but given BAE and Cozmez seemed to be in the spotlight, it sort of left TCW and Akanyatsura behind in terms of development (Although they seemed developed enough, if that makes sense)

Stuff from my notes

Hell yeah this is what I've been waiting for! (ep 1)

The phantometals' effects look so good and I really like the look of the animation

Second instance (as far as I know) of Gakuto Kajiwara being the lead protagonist in a music franchise anime adaptation <- the other one being ACTORS: Song Connection..

I REALLY DO LIKE MURASE'S RANGE AS HAJUN

He's a mood (Allen)

Paradox Devil thing reminds me of Grim

Ryu-kun!

HANAEEEE

I did praise the animation but why does the stamen in that flower look so stiff

Cozmez? Cozmez!

Why is Kanata so pretty

I never really got into the how or why phantometals connect to their users other than making it from their trauma, this anime makes it digestible

(Allen drawing on Hajun's apron and shouting "Inspiration!") Leo Tsukinaga is that you

Hajun pretty boy antics

Bae oversleeping on opening night huh..

Hajun flying them in!

Trauma!

Cozmez is drawn so ethereal

The OP is really nice (ep 2)

Not Kanata gatekeeping hiphop?/lh

Kanallen! ..Nevermind, he was robbing him

..Mouse as big as a dog? Isn't that like a rat.. come on we have a song called rats and nobles..

Kanata gatekeeping!

Ryu-kun having fun! (the tcw vs akanyatsura battle)

—Not showing TCW & Akanyatsura's performance? Foul

Old man yaoi

(Has stopped keeping track of the episodes)

Time to see TCW performance. or not...

Ryu is a menace and I am INTO it

Reo is adorable

ep.5 and this OP still is a banger

Not Kanata and Nayuta both having their own spiels about "I can't let you stay here" <- since.. yeah, does that mean that this is how Kanata thinks subconsciously?

When are we gonna look at TCW performing

Allen working part-time throughout the Ryu episode...

HILARIOUS

Allen "little dapper man" Sugasano

ep.7

Nayuta...

Nayushiki duet at the end?!?@??@?

ep.9 - Sweet ol kanalller contend <- watched the scene and was writing at the same time while laughing hysterically

NAYUTA READ THE ROOM

(end of notes)

omg aeri... pls read the drama tracks when you can cause 😭 once you do you realize how much this anime is missing (or even got wrong)...

you're right abt akyr and tcw not having enough screentime and to be honest, i'd say the same abt cozmez since they didn't explain anything abt their backstory – nayushiki thing aside – and completely ruined the ending... bae got so many useless scenes 😞

so yeah, even if the characters seemed to have gotten any development, no one knows what caused it anyways (or at least, i talked abt the anime with my irl friend who's anime-only, and she genuinely didn't understand some stuff that happened cause they didn't explain shit lol).

replying to the stuff from your notes

the effects are really one of the only things i'm willing to defend abt this anime cause they were truly SO GOOD!! i was so scared of how bad the cgi would've been but i was proved wrong, the performances were all really cool <3

i'm not sure if you're into fragraria memories but gakkun voices the lead protagonist there as well! and hallritt has red hair too... curious...

paradevil is truly our grim... they'd be great friends

the flower symbolizes tsubaki, saimon's late wife (i'm pretty sure no anime-only fan understood that cause they never mentioned her LMAO; that's also why they keep showing that damn flower)

they "skipped" the justice performance but it's only cause they showed tcw with 4 real later! each group had one battle performance :D

yes, everything nayuta says is part of kanata's subconscious!! phantom nayuta is literally the personification of kanata's deepest thoughts, the truth under millions of layers 👍🏻

i loved kanallen in the filler episode, that's what youngsters would call "my roman empire" nowadays. also yeah notice kanata cockblocking himself (through nayuta)

i support you saying "why is cozmez so pretty" every few notes. relatable

[nightzskii]

Hey…This is a 'disclaimer' >_> , yeah. Hi, I never gave anyone the permission besides me and the other person who went through this with me to send or use this as a reason to harass anyone. This is exactly why the google document is now restricted from peoples view.

The stuff being talked about in here is me and the unnamed person's story, our traumatic experience with Hell Above's old host; Regan/Russell/Wil/Ghostbur.

In no way, shape, or form am I guarding anybody but me and the unnamed person's story nor am I "gatekeeping" because this was my experience, not yours. This isn't even a half joking matter either. (Yes this is a response to crinegboy's document that cringeboy copied without my permission and then refused to take down.)

We can take legal action, its in my name, and unless cringeboy doesn't want to; take it down. Talk to me on any platform and ask. After that I can't care enough of what happens unless cringeboy refuses to believe that this is all regan/russell/wil's and that stan is taking system accountability already.

The only right cringeboy has to ask for accountability is when Regan talks about jews. After that? nothing else is in cringeboys right to ask system accountability about. Just include that in your own doc and don't use mine.

This document was also about the old alters like; Exile, C!Dream, Otto, Grace, Arson, George, Gregory, Moon, Sun, Drni, Rev, Simpbur, Ranboo, Tommy(Thesus), Tubbo(Tobias), Rain, Tk, Iris, Brian, Mexi, Everett, Spade, Techno, Quackity, Basil, Nini, Eli, Sovi, Elias, Gray, Leo, estella, stel, Leon, Third, Aki, Binary, Lavie, Isa, Cam

Thank you for your time and if you wish to know of what regan has done, feel free to dm me with an email and I'll allow you to view it.

knightsP not knowing who knights killers are......... augh.........

they don't know abt war. or leo going a lil feral and being like "actually knights u suck" and trying to murder them (paraphrased. heavily.) and then realizing. oh shit these r my friends and i love them and they love me what am i doing. they don't even get it i bet

yeah like i am no gatekeeper but come on. at least know a little about the actual stories and development between the characters you like its a bit sad to see

[polygamousfistingchaos]

I mean Leo does have a good point you can’t gatekeep names cus that’s just a dumb thing to do and impossible, like I agree that if you don’t want people to copy your name then don’t put it where strangers can see it or just block people that use the same name you have. But it’s a dumb thing to get canceled over/get discourse over I was just curious sinds a blog I flow was taken about how they don’t want people to “take” certain names that they use and kind of made it out to be worse then it really is

also I hope that Leo is doing okay and that they haven’t gotten any Ammon hate for what they said

yeah, I agree with all of that. It was blown way way out of proportion imo. People can have boundaries but also when it comes to things like name and identity, its on the person *with* the boundary to keep themself safe and not have those people around. Someone can name themself whatever they like without consequence (this doesn't apply to things like closed culture names, obviously. that's a whole other area that I don't think I can personally speak on as a white person.).

January third: cowslip (primula veris)

" Our gold cowslips," he adds, " look like a full branch of large clustering king-cups; they carelessly raise themselves on their firm stalks, their corollas gazing upward to the changing spring sky, as they grow amidst their pretty leaves of vivid green. They adorn almost every meadow, and shed a glow of beauty wherever they spring."

Hoo boy. Are you all ready? Gods, I am NOT. but, uh, let's do this! Cowslip is a perennial bloom which can grow up to, uh.. yeah I'm not bothered to search that up. Nevermind, I stumbled across it anyway. Up to 25cm or 5 inches. Yellow in colour and bursts of flowers, cowslip is said to be one of the star sign 'Leo's' flowers, and ruled by Venus, under water.

There are multiple different types of cowslip. There's American cowslip and just.. cowslip cowslip. So, that being said, normal cowslip is the one we'll be talking about today, with a couple mentions of the others.

Cowslip has many monikers, among them being 'keyflower, lady's keys, key of heaven, password, buckles'. Now, you may notice a theme there. Keys.

Yes! That is indeed correct. The origin story of cowslip, or the key flower, is that Saint Peters (guardian or gatekeeper of heaven) dropped his keys. Also called that, because they resemble keys.

Because of the meaning of 'key to heaven', it was said that those who found the flower won the grace to get into the Big Upstairs. This is how it got the meaning 'winning grace, divine beauty, charmed, birth/youthfulness'. As it's yellow (dryly said), it's also associated with happiness.

Cowslip is also a herb; which means that it does have medicinal properties. When soaking cowslip flowers in boiling water to make tea, or grinding up the roots and combining with honey and water to make a syrup, there is scientific proof that it has beneficial properties to thin mucus, and help with bronchitis and common colds.

There are some sources which also suggest that the flowers can be a remedy to help subdue muscle spasm and headaches.

Again, people. Do your research. I'm not saying 'hey, this is definite', so please don't come after me saying 'you're an idiot, ha you believe in homeopathic remedies' b- actually I'll just make another post lmao.

So! Cowslip: grace, I have been charmed by your beauty, divine beauty, birth/youthfulness, happiness.

Paired with hawthorn, symbolises hope for a new prospect.

Paired with honeysuckle, it serves as a gift for your significant other's parents.

Storytelling Saturday question about your book: tell me about the crew!!

hell yeah the characters are the one thing about this wip that i'm actually confident about let's-a goooo

Captain Leo Callisto: the plotter, the schemer, the captain of the Sirens and the mastermind of the heist. gaslight gatekeep girlboss. she knows how to command respect and talk her way out of any situation. pretty much every other word out of her mouth is a lie. deep rooted mommy issues.

Gabriola "Gabi" Franco: mechanomedic. tech nerd and possible genius. absolute sweetheart who manages to remain kind despite the cruelty of the galaxy, but is beginning to resent her "softness". butch lesbian disaster. someone get this girl a hug, and/or a xanax.

Euna Li: the hitter. pure of heart but dumb of ass. and muscular of arm, at least, her remaining arm-- the other one is a cybernetic prosthesis that's on the verge of falling apart. golden retriever energy with a bundle of self-worth issues. also a lesbian disaster.

Illiana Vivienne Dyonas: runaway heir to a rich and powerful family that she was unfairly kicked out of and is now in a beef with her older twin sister. has funky glowy purple telekinesis powers that matches her funky purple hair. sassy bitch. does NOT want to be here but they're robbing her family and she's the one who can give the most reliable info about them soo. also she needs the prize cash.

Zeya Kade: former spy for the Sirens and Leo's arch nemesis since she betrayed the crew and took off with their money. sneaky, small, and stabby. keeps a grudge forever. she and Leo are Completely Normal about each other.

bonus-- Kalenora "Kalen" Ismerie Dyonas: Illiana's evil (?) twin sister. bent on upholding her family's honour at the expense of her relationship with her sister. also a sassy bitch (it runs in the family) but not as much as Illiana.

thanks for the ask !!!! 💜
