Tarot Reading: What Would They Say To You? (No Contact/Separation) ❤️‍🩹

Hello, all! I am back with another Tarot reading. This time we are going to delve into the "no contact/separation" situations. I don't intend for this just to be romantic. I am definitely open to receiving messages about a friendship or family situations. But, I also don't know what will come through once I get started. So, we will have to see. Basically, if it turns out to be your ex or someone you don't want to hear about, don't shoot the messenger lol.

I also wanted to just say that there is nothing wrong with love readings and anyone who tries to shame you for being into them, who wants to "school you" on why you shouldn't invest in them, has no business doing so. And let's be real. 9 times out of 10, the person is doing so because they got hooked on love readings in the past and are now cynical or condescending about that because their happy ending with that person didn't occur.

I have to stress that love readings are NOT about the outcome. It's about having awareness of the situation and using the reading as a tool to make the choices in love that will make you happiest. If someone doesn't do what you expected them to do, it doesn't mean it's all bullshit. We all still have free will and a person's feelings or even their intentions does not 100% guarantee what they will do. Yet, the truth of their feelings is still there and is still useful and meaningful.

My motto for these readings is "don't stress, don't obsess." Because I do think that obsessively consuming love readings is a sign that you need to step back and go within instead. But, it doesn't make these readings "bad." I just felt called to say that and think that someone needed to hear that.

Anyways, pick the picture or pictures below that you are most drawn to and see what your person has to say. Trust yourself! It's only your pile if it truly resonates. Also, I always forget to say this but will make it a habit now: this reading is timeless 🔮

PILE 1

Knight of Wands

(Nine of Wands)

The Emperor

(The Empress, reversed)

Ace of Wands, reversed

(Ten of Swords)

The Tower

(Two of Cups, reversed)

Knight of Pentacles

Okay, Pile 1, we started this reading off strong! This is definitely about a love interest of some kind you're in separation with. If not, this may not be your pile! We have the Emperor here, with his boo, The Empress. But, she is upside down (reversed). I feel like this Empress is definitely you, that you have a more feminine energy, regardless of how you physically identify. And, funny enough, this card's position feels, in a way, like past energy for you. Like, you were compromising your boundaries for this person. Giving too much while they were unavailable. You might have even been rejected by them, in some way, and it really turned your world upside down.

I hear I'm Going Down by Mary J Blige. This has not been an easy connection for you and your person recognizes that. They would tell you that they know how much they hurt you. Also, that they really hurt themselves, in the process. Things here are kind of mirrored or echoed because they could be presently struggling in the way you once were. This just feels like a very, very major connection. Very powerful, very fated, and both of you felt that in the way this rupture in the relationship created a Tower moment for you both.

Yeah, your person is not having a great time and I feel like they wish they could talk to you about it. I don't think their struggles are all about you. I actually think they are suffering because they are trying to recover from a really intense mental health crisis. This separation may have been the catalyst for it or has just made it worse. NOT to say it's your fault, though. Actually, I think your person brought a lot of this on to themselves and they fully recognize that.

I sense them having an identity crisis of sorts. They know they need to grow up and can't continue life the way they once did. All footloose and fancy free. I kind of get "Peter Pan" vibes from them. And Tinkerbell vibes from you lol. Just felt the urge to add that. But, they are realizing that their lifelong vacation in Neverland is over. Not to say that they can't have fun or have to stifle themselves. But, they understand they need to mature, especially if they want to repair things with you. They see you as very fun, too, but also really mature.

I get the feeling that this has been a LONG time coming. This may be a separation that has lasted for years. If not, it's felt like it. You feel like Elderly Rose in Titanic when it comes to this connection. The history as well as the time apart has felt like 84 years. To you and your person! They acknowledge how slowly they have been moving and are also really, really worried that you've moved on or are no longer interested. On one hand, they really want to just gallop in and profess their love. On the other hand, they fear that it will just lead to the nightmare of you saying "Yeah, no, thanks." I would just advise you to do what feels right for you!

Your person is definitely more masculine in nature. They are learning that they can't always be in control. In this time apart, they are getting better at dealing with and expressing their emotions. They hope that will impress you because they have been very emotionally stunted in the past and they know that. But, basically, there is a ton of anxiety here. They would tell you that they didn't realize how hard life without you would be. And that they do plan on coming back in but it will take more time. Not only because they have to overcome their fears but because they want to be the best version of themselves they can be for you. They might be making more progress than they give themselves credit for! They are getting there. Bit by bit, day by day.

Astrological Signs: Your person could have a major emphasis of Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) in their chart. Especially Aries. They also may have personal placements in Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) or Scorpio.

PILE 2

Four of Wands

(Ten of Wands, reversed)

The Hierophant, reversed

(Judgment)

Seven of Swords

(Nine of Cups)

Six of Swords, reversed

(Five of Cups, reversed)

Seven of Wands, reversed

Pile 2, this is a really interesting spread. I am getting what seems like a whole backstory here of your relationship with this person. This either is a love interest or someone who was once a very close friend. Either way, you two really fit like a glove! This person would tell you that they consider you a soulmate, of some kind, and that they cannot stand the distance here. I feel like it has weighed on them and weighed on them for a long time and they can't take it anymore. Again by Lenny Kravitz is the song coming through.

They feel quite unable to move forward without you. At the very least, they want some healing in this situation before they can move forward. Some sort of conversation or reconciliation. The regret they feel over this is really intense, tbh. They did you wrong, in a way. If this is romantic, they may not have been entirely honest about their intentions or fully willing to commit. They might have dated/slept with other people behind your back. Or they made you the side piece behind someone else's back, which I think you did not take to kindly! If it was a friendship, they may have just left you socially for other people or switched up on you because of others.

I am also getting a feeling of gossip, social gossip. They could have had friends who "disapproved" of this connection or even you. And instead of telling those friends to shove it, they went right along with it, not really investing in you. It seems like they needed to go the extra mile to defend you and they failed to. I think they're really sorry about that. For some of you, you know all about this drama and we're even sucked into it. For others, it was very much something you were oblivious to, which made this person's behavior all the more frustrating or disappointing.

This person would tell you that they really regret being unable to go against the grain of others' opinions when it came to this connection. Here's the thing, though. I don't even think you did much of anything! This person attracted people with a lot of drama and a lot of baggage. Toxic people who burdened them (this could also be family). And if you're a healthy, reasonable person with strong boundaries, then you're going to be the villain in a toxic person's story. And your person was unable to recognize how much they should've fought off these negative influences and fought for you.

That's a pretty specific message that's coming through. Your person wants you to know they're done with the drama. They also want you to know that you wouldn't have to deal with it, either, because they don't have the same negative people around them. Whether it was their friends or relatives, you may have clashed with these people and this individual ruminates on that. They feel bad about it! But, it probably took a great betrayal for them to realize that they needed better influences in their life.

This person wants a reunion with you very badly, believing that the barriers between you are now out of the way. They also REALLY want you to know that they should've committed to you when they had a chance, if this is romantic. That's something they may even beat themselves up for. If this is platonic, they feel they should've been much more solid and present. They do have what it takes to be solid but they were screwing around. But, they feel like times are different now and that, if given a chance, they can prove themselves to you. However, I would say that this person veers from being quite confident about this to very nervous about it. They have a lot of depth but avoid much of it by having fun, to the point of hedonism. (I am also getting the message that many of you met this individual while at a bar or party and they reminisce about it a lot). But, they realize that they are going to have to get real if they want things to progress here.

Astrological Signs: This person may have their Sun, Moon and/or Rising in the signs of Taurus or Scorpio.

PILE 3

Ace of Pentacles

(The Chariot)

Ten of Wands

(King of Wands, reversed)

The Star

(Seven of Cups, reversed)

The Emperor

(Page of Wands)

Two of Wands, reversed

Right off the bat, Pile 3, this feels more platonic. I am getting "ex-best friend" vibes. Now, it could be romantic, too. But, I think that's the minority here. I feel like many of you who were thinking of a friend you had a falling out with or drifted from picked this pile. Regardless, I think this is someone who thought, after things ended, that a) they'd be fine without you and/or b) there was something better out there. Welp, they were wrong and/or wrong! And they are now seeing what a special impact you had on them.

It may suck to realize that someone who meant a lot to you took you for granted. But, they weren't seeing things clearly before. And this person has a major inability to admit that they're wrong. I think they would actually (gasp!) admit this to you, however begrudgingly. You were the thing to get them to see the problematic size of their ego. I don't think they realized how self-centered and domineering their behavior can be until this all happened. They can be control freaks, which is also affecting their ability to reach out. They are saying they would love to message or call you. To get back in touch. They think about it all the time. But, they hold back because they are unsure of how it'll turn out.

However, they are also saying that, ideally, they hope for a positive response from you. They can be quite strategic and actually spend a lot of time trying to figure out the best way to approach this. You might be thinking, "The best way they can approach me is to not approach me." Lol and, as always with these readings, that is your right. I say that because things feel a little one-sided here. They may want this reconciliation much more than you do, if you even want it. I even think, for some of you, this person is into Law of Attraction and the like. Maybe they're trying to manifest you back and, if you've bonded over metaphysical stuff, they picture telling you that if/when you talk again.

But, honestly, that still feels a little... controlling. I feel like this person is more focused on winning you back than actually healing or improving your relationship. And on some level, their ego is still running the show. They suffer from a LOT of guilt in terms of how things went down between you but also struggle with the arrogant part of themselves that refuses to acknowledge their faults or wrongdoings. I think they would probably fold under the pressure, if you were seated right in front of them now, and confess how they really feel. Otherwise, they actually try very hard to avoid that truth. But, they're failing at it.

I see you in The Star here because that's how they see you. You could have personal placements in Aquarius. You've got some BUE. Big Unicorn Energy. There is no one like you! You not only bring this unique, exciting, otherworldly energy wherever you go but you're an excellent and loyal friend. So, like I said, this feels more like a friendship to many of you. And they would tell you they know they will never find another bestie like you. You were also a great support in that you helped them see things more clearly. You talked them through a lot of chaos, confusion and delusion. And I think they are painfully aware of the power of your positive influence now. Their life may be in shambles now in a way that it wasn't when you were acting as the Light of their life.

But, I am getting another message, not from this person but Spirit and your Guides. I think you may have dimmed yourself a bit for this person's benefit. Especially since they do seem like the kind of egotistical, competitive friend who wants to one-up people or get all the attention. This person knows how awesome you are (most people do, actually) and could've been threatened by that in a way that made them act out. You also might have Aries, Leo or Sagittarius in your chart. So, you are as fiery as this person with a charisma and it factor all your own. Yet this energy may not have been able to fully thrive around this person.

This may be a current epiphany of yours, now that you have some distance. It could have been very hard to see that at the time and you may have had an inaccurate view of how good of a friend they were. If so, take this as confirmation! And however you choose to engage with them in the future, your Spirit Team is urging you to never make yourself smaller for someone else.

Oh, something else: Halloween could have been a big deal in your connection. I am getting the This Is Halloween song from Nightmare Before Christmas. There could have been some Halloween tradition you did together annually like pumpkin picking/carving or dressing up. So, this time of the year might make them think of you even more.

Astrological Signs: This person could have a major Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) influence in their chart, especially the sign of Aries. They could also have placements in Cancer.

PILE 4

The Hierophant, reversed

(Four of Cups)

Nine of Cups, reversed

(Knight of Wands)

(Ten of Cups, reversed)

Three of Cups

(The Tower)

Page of Pentacles

Pile 4, this person is pretty shattered right now. And it's not completely because of this separation, although it partially is. It's mostly because of what this separation is illuminating for them. This could honestly go either way: platonic or romantic. I get more of a romantic vibe, though, because this person feels like they lost their chance somehow with you yet are hoping for another opportunity.

I think they want to tell you that they should've taken an earlier opportunity. Maybe you offered them some sort of solid commitment and they passed on it. Now, that decision straight-up haunts them. I also feel like they believe you're doing much better without them or that you would be better off without them. Romantically, they can worry a lot, especially if they know you're sociable/extroverted and very attractive (they definitely believe you're a catch). They may constantly picture you flirting or hooking up with someone else. For some of you, they may have even seen you at a party, entertaining another option, and it wrecked them. If not, I feel like they just imagine it as a form of self-torment.

It's pretty dramatic energy lol. I'm not going to lie. But, it all stems from their inner pain and turmoil. They would let you know that they made the choice they did because they didn't feel good enough for you. Specifically, I am getting the message that they typically entertain no-strings situations or shallow flings because that's all they feel they deserve. It's also all they think they can handle. But, they treated you very differently because they held you in higher esteem but themselves in lower esteem. So, if they never made a move or resisted your advances, that could partly explain why.

I think this poor self-worth stems from their upbringing, which was most likely dysfunctional to an extreme. It seems like they still deal with intense family drama that exhausts and drains them. Recently, there could have been a tense visit home or some nasty fights with relatives. They want you to know that they are very protective of you and don't want you to have to deal with that. This could be another reason why they may have distanced themselves. This actually doesn't feel like a separation where anything went "wrong" or where things actually ended. It just feels like you're not really talking now because your person has a lot of personal things to work out.

But, just the thought of you is like a light at the end of the tunnel. You are definitely a major source of positivity and fun for them. They look forward to reuniting and engaging with you again but also know that they still need to sort out the mess in their life. Maybe they wish you two could talk because you also know what they're going through, in some way. You could have come from a toxic family, too, and maybe you've bonded over that. They want you to know that you keep them going and inspire them. They see how much you rose above your unhappy origins and didn't let it define you. So, instead of giving up on their growth and healing, you make them believe it's possible. That's really sweet!

Batman could have some significance to this person or your connection. You could be the Catwoman to their Batman (regardless of the genders involved!) I do feel like this person has a dark, Bruce Wayne-like origin story they're trying to work through. But, they also feel that you're one of the few who really understand them. The song 21 Guns by Green Day may have a message relating to them or this connection. I think this person is very determined to overcome their issues/defenses and it seems like they're doing a lot of that either because of you or for you. They are very eager to make things work between you and they are putting in the effort. Just from afar for right now.

Astrological Signs: This person might have their Sun, Moon or Rising in the sign of Aries or Scorpio (Aries is really being represented today! As well as Scorpio. But, hey, we are in Scorpio season)

Theory:

Here’s a small detail about Hobo 13 that explains a lot:

When any trainee is put in genuine, life threatening danger, they’re teleported to a holding cell before any real damage can occur.

So the trainees on Hobo 13 are never in any truly life threatening danger. If they’re ever put in a situation like that they’re automatically teleported to a holding cell (and presumably given medical attention if they have any injuries. Can’t run a successful boot camp if no one ever survives).

But at the same time, there are people betting not on Zim’s injuries, but on his DEATH. With bets on things like whether or not he’ll be blown up, eaten, or even chopped in half.

But the thing is, with the logic of Hobo 13, none of those things can actually happen to Zim because he’ll be teleported to a holding cell before anything major happens.

So in order for these bets to be possible, Zim must be disconnected from the teleporting system. In other words, if Zim is put into life threatening danger on Hobo 13, he won’t be teleported. Zim has no actual protection, unlike every other trainee there.

And there’s a good chance that the Tallest are not just aware of this given how Purple starts the betting, but are probably the reason that Zim won’t be teleported in the first place. They’re royalty. A simple request to Sergeant Hobo 678 or whoever is in charge is all it would take.

And I think Zim is aware of this as well.

This would mean that Zim didn’t just take the position as team commander because he wanted to be in charge or because he didn’t want to have to take orders from people that he doesn’t know or respect (although those were definitely factors), but because it would keep him out of the most danger. The commander can’t decide to leave Zim behind or sacrifice him for the rest of the team (which would most likely kill him because he doesn’t have the teleporter as a failsafe) If Zim IS the commander.

Think about it some more. Zim was a part of the Irken military and his entire race views shorter Irkens as inferior to the taller ones. So following that logic, it would make sense if shorter Irkens in the military were given the most dangerous jobs, even suicide missions if the need arose. After all, they’re considered to be less valuable overall than the taller ones. Shorter Irkens are viewed as expendable. Zim is shorter than average. By cementing himself as the commander, Zim prevents whoever else would have become commander from taking advantage of his shorter height and by that logic “lower value” and sacrificing him for the good of the team.

Hell, we even see proof of shorter and lower value soldiers being seen as expendable in the Irken military in the comics, where Commander Poki sends Zim, the shortest Irken there, on a suicide mission:

Think about what Poki just said. They want Zim to sneak to the opposite side of an enemy base and set off a small explosion to lure the enemies in the area to the back while the Irkens attack the (now unprotected) front. After those explosives go off, person that goes and sets off these explosives will be surrounded and swarmed by enemy forces alone while also being completely cut off from the other irkens because they’re on the opposite side of the battlefield with enemy forces in between their current location and the Irken military camp.

In other words, whoever sets off those explosives is going to die. And Poki picks the shortest Irken there to do it because he’s seen as expendable.

So Zim has EXPERIENCED being used as an expendable soldier, and he knows that his shorter height makes him a target for that sort of thing. So he’d probably believe that it works the same way on Hobo 13 while also knowing that if he’s ever in danger, the teleporter won’t save him.

It’s just a shame that not counting Zim, there was only one other Irken in the entire team, so Zim never actually needed to take any of this into consideration. His paranoia would have been completely justified in an all-Irken environment, ie: the type of environment he’s used to, but isn’t needed in this particular scenario.

#invader zim #headcanons #analysis #Zim #hobo 13 #this also goes to show how badass Skoodge is because he faced down not just the Hogulus #but every other challenge of Hobo 13 SOLO #without ever being put in life threatening danger or being teleported to a holding cell #and he was making good time as well #right behind Zim’s full team by just a few minutes #somehow Zim pushing Skoodge to the Hogulus was actually the best possible option #because it resulted in zero casualties or mistakes and the only reason Skoodge wasn’t there for all of Hobo 13 #was because the entire team didn’t bother to wait for him #no other Hogulus plan could have gone that well

(asking in good faith) do you not think any trans men experience male privilege, and if so, do you think anyone truly experiences male privilege, and if not, what do you think male privilege is, and what sort of man experiences it?

I think that the privilege conversation as it exists both online and in progressive spaces irl is extremely bastardized from its original context to mean “have” and “have not” rather than an actual complex look at what’s going on.

Do trans men have male privilege? On an individual level, at times, if perceived as men, an individual trans man may benefit from male privilege during a specific interaction. On a societal level, it very much depends, because the transgender part of his manhood impacts the way society treats him.

Is it easier for a trans man to have an abortion than a cis woman? No, in fact, it’s often harder. Is it easier for a trans man to receive government aid? No, again, it’s often harder. Do trans men win more of their court cases? No, most of the time they lose, if they manage to survive whatever encounter led them to court in the first place. Are trans men in STEM and other high paying jobs at similar rates to cis men? Are they there more than trans women? To the first, not at all. To the second, it’s difficult to find an exact number due to these high paying jobs almost universally requiring stealth or being closeted, but I’d wager it’s probably equal. Are trans men free from worry about rape or domestic violence? No, it’s often occurring at higher rates than cis women. Have trans men historically been free from being considered their family’s property to be sold to the highest bidder for their husband? No, in fact, some trans men still experience this to this day. Have trans men historically been able to perform male-dominated or male-only jobs? Not unless they were stealth, and if they were found out they were usually immediately jailed or killed. Have trans men historically been able to own property, have credit cards, or use bank accounts in their name? No, to the point where when this began to be challenged entire laws were written up to prevent this from happening. Are trans men free from the societal shame regarding menstruation cycles? Not unless they’ve had a hysterectomy or have some other reason to not menstruate, just like a cis woman.

Has there ever been a trans man as president or otherwise leader of an entire country? Have any trans men held any meaningful office for long enough to actually create policy and write laws? Are trans men running huge multi-million or multi-billion dollar companies? How many CEOs are trans men? How many characters in the media are trans men- actual trans men, not “trans-coded”, not “probably transgender”, not “popular fanon trans”, but actually trans men? How many of them are played by actors who are trans men and not just cis women? How many religious leaders are trans men, and how many religions value trans men as actual men instead of as woman-lite or disobedient women?

Again, in specific situations, an individual trans man who passes in the moment may benefit briefly from male privilege. A particularly lucky individual may be able to live as stealth for the bulk of his life and never be questioned. But the mistake of considering “passing privilege” the same as “cis male privilege” is especially egregious when considering that this just isn’t the life of the majority of trans men- not even taking into account that many trans mascs are not men, they are non-binary, but they are being lumped in with men all the same despite not being men or passing as men at all.

I think all privilege, not just male, is highly conditional when in individual contexts and depends incredibly on the giver’s bias rather than the receiver’s identity. A gay man may have “straight privilege” if he is closeted, and may enjoy a life free from homophobic attacks due to being perceived as straight, but that doesn’t mean society at large somehow got better for gay people. It just means he had to hide in order to be spared, and I don’t think being forced to hide is a privilege.

Rather, I think when discussing who “has privilege”, it’s better to consider the broader picture of society rather than pointing at an individual and deciding for them how their life and experiences worked. Certainly, if that individual tells you, “I’ve never thought of [blind spot]”, that is an example of that person’s privilege. But I think it’s better to say male privilege is better shown in the examples I brought up, and how it’s societal, rather than pointing to someone you don’t know and saying “you’ve never had to deal with this”.

Especially when the discussion becomes warped to the point of “trans men received male privilege from birth because they’re men.”

What do the signs need to know for this solar eclipse season?

Hello everyone! As you may or may not know, there will be a Solar Eclipse occuring on April 8th! so of course I'm coming through with a tarot + astrology reading for all the signs during this amazingly chaotic times. I truly hope these insights can aid all of you navigate the energy we have (and will continue to encounter) until May comes along with Jupiter in Taurus to release the tension a bit.

Read for your sidereal ASC, Moon, and Sun in that exact order!

Aries: queen of swords, five of cups, and three of pentacles

Okay so, you folks will be on a really analytical mindset, specially those with prominent feminine energy (regardless of gender). there's a lot of mental clarity, logical, and strategic energies coming your way which you will fully embody. You will become aware of your sorrows, sadness, and things you may regret in regards to coworkers or individuals with whom you collaborated in the past. You or someone else with Air placements (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) could be feeling sad, at a loss, regretting, or crying over spilled milk in regards to a third party situation or collaboration that didn't go as expected.

You will be experiencing these feelings and energy in isolation and hidden from the public, where your emotions are not seen for what they truly are. To others you might seem cold or unmoving, but in reality, you are simply experiencing a lot within you right now. It is okay to feel your feelings, recognize the ways in which your emotions could cause you to self-sabotage, and seek support from others if needed. If someone hurt you in the past, know that this is just another lesson to learn from and those feelings of guilt or shame do not need to sit within you longer than necessary. Even if the situation might seem a bit grim now, there's still a lot to save and salvage. Allow this time to be for spiritual growth and self-reflection. Reassess your priorities and choose what's truly important for you.

Taurus: the hanged man, the star, and eight of wands

You guys are or were at a sort of standstill, reevaluation process, or feeling stuck in a situation for a while. But now, with the upcoming energetic flow you will be able to see things from a different perspective, and give spiritual space within you to see all the possible sides with ease. The incredibly good news is that hope is no longer around the corner, instead, it is heading at full speed towards you. You are or will be finally seeing the other side and genially feeling more hopeful about your current trajectory. What's coming for you its like a fallen star, quick, bright, but with a twist of long lasting results. What you must do now is simply letting go and trusting that things are developing for the best possible outcome, because regardless of what you think communication will be heading your way.

There will finally be movement and you will feel like things are progressing once and for all. At the end of this season, it won't just be a light at the end of the tunnel, but rather a full scenery of the journey ahead. You will just simply feel more lucky, and hopeful that things will be gaining traction. There's an odd yet blissful sense of peace that is quickly arriving towards you. A burden that will be released because you're finally making space for the old to be left behind. These news might come from social media, your friends or networking group.

Gemini: ten of pentacles, nine of cups, and four of cups

Allll right, okay, okay. You guys are seriously on the money train right now, like, hardcore. There are huge achievements, financial rewards, and material satisfactions that you will be experiencing soon. You are entering a period of genuine happiness, sense of accomplishment, and luck even if there's still (or might continue to be) a small sense of apathy towards it, so make sure you're not blinding yourself to what's right in front of you. Just know that even if you might not miss it entirely, you could end up not enjoying it as much as you should because of old emotional matters.

Sit down in solitude and contemplate on the fact that you will receive a good luck strike soon when it comes to the material world, which is amazing considering that you could have come from surviving many situations of deep financial troubles in the previous months. Family matters will be good as well, and you will get to enjoy good times with them as well. Perhaps you were sitting on a gold mine, yet not realizing it completely until now.

Overall, your professional life will be highlighted and full of possibilities. Just make sure you don't let your ego get out of control after being put under the spotlight. Let your achievements and own efforts speak for themselves, there's no need to prove anything to anyone but yourself.

Cancer: ten of pentacles, queen of swords, and four of swords

It seems that Gemini is not the only one that's running into wealth, material satisfaction, and having an "IT girl" moment when it comes to their worldly achievements. The main difference is that you will handle it with a very clear and no bs type of mindset, and with an emphasis on wanting to relax, unwind, rest, meditate and going more within but in a very luxurious way (at least in comparison to previous months). You might do some solo traveling or just traveling overall with the purpose of enjoying the success of your hard work. The things that you have been manifesting for your financial goals are coming through, and you will finally take a much needed step back to recharge. You will enjoy the fruits of the efforts you've made thus far, but make sure to stay flexible to handle any challenges that could come your way. You will soon be focusing entirely on your career, public matters, and enjoying an expansion in your long term investments or gains. Keep a healthy balance between mind and heart!

Leo: the empress, the hermit, and ace of pentacles rx

Although there is this energy of abundance, luxury, and worldly pleasures that are definitely coming your way, you will also have to experience a period of introspection, solitude, and reflection. It will mostly be in regards to the ways you've been or could be acting greedy by encouraging splurging, or taking risky financial decisions. Financial wisdom is very much needed to survive the upcoming energies ahead. You will go deep within to think of the opportunities that you could have missed, and the ways you didn't plant seeds that would be flourishing now in the present.

Even if you have the ability to nurture and make anything you touch bloom, you must be careful to not encourage thorns, weeds, and undesirable plants to ruin your usually beautiful and kept garden. There could also be a hidden pregnancy that occurs and creates some minor financial delays or losses, so be mindful of that. You might be going real ghost mode for a while due to dealing with certain shady dealings or situations that will simply keep you from spending as much as you usually do.

There was something you ignored or became apathetic towards in the past, a proof of genuine love or a beginning that has set the wheels of karma/destiny to spin. A change of course has or will be set into action soon, and the only way to handle it properly is by tuning into your spiritual side. Be transparent and open not just with yourself, but with your loved ones as well. No one can take away your ability to look and act like the queen/king you are, but even royalty need a reality check from time to time.

Virgo: queen of swords, page of pentacles, and ten of cups

My beautiful Te Fiti's, I see that a lot of you will be putting all of your mental focus towards a new financial opportunity that has landed on your lap (well freaking deserved!) and that will be providing with an immense feeling of abundance, satisfaction, and emotional fulfillment. This is a moment you had been waiting for a while now, and although there's a feeling of novice or feeling like a "noob" that comes with it, you are more than ready to take on whatever the challenge might be. You will know exactly how to deal with it in a very cool headed way, and your words will also convey the same. You're not in the mood for any tomfoolery, just money and all the good stuff that the universe is sending your way. Family matters will be very good as well, so just continue on doing whatever you're doing because its looking great!

There will continue to be a focus on relationships and opportunities to deepen them as long as you're able to stay judgment free and exercising your emotional intelligence. Perhaps these connections will be with an Air sign (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius). Allow yourself to celebrate love, joy, and even the challenges, for nothing will cloud your mind at this moment. You've already gone through the worst of it, and anything that might still feel like an obstacle will be cleared from your path.

Libra: four of swords, queen of swords, page of pentacles

A very similar reading to Virgos, but with a twist. You are very much on your waters during this period, but it will only come after a much needed break occurs. A full stop that will allow you to lay back, contemplate, or meditate into how you can get your gears back to moving as usual towards the financial goals you've had planned for the first quarter of this year. The opportunities will be there, but they will only be noticeable once you pull back your energy from everyone and focus on recovering your own instead. It had been a few months where you were not feeling 100% back into your usual strategic, confident, assured ways, and this was partially holding you back from discovering the ways to manifest as comfortably as usually did before.

Make sure to pay attention to your health and daily routines as they will be key for getting your habits and work back in order. You deserve a balanced and healthy lifestyle, so focus on the small details that might be keeping you away from enjoying it. You got this!

Scorpio: four of pentacles, strength, and five of cups rx

Let me start by saying the first thing I noticed was 555 while doing this reading, so you already know that change is not only coming towards you but this eclipse will definitely facilitate it. You will be experiencing a period of compassion and gentleness towards the ways you may have not to been extending yourself some much needed forgiveness or radical acceptance. You've been really hard on yourself, as usual, but have now finally comprehended the root of this behavior. You act this way because that's the treatment you've received from others as well, and overtime, this made you develop the well known defensive tactics everyone is aware of, not for the sake of hurting, but for self preservation.

It is okay to admit that you've been scared, anxious, and tired for a while. All of that have led you to realizing that in order to overcome those heavy feelings, you must develop radical inner love and peace within you. A hope that moves mountains. An ability to accept, forgive, and move on. You are ready to tame your inner beast, which will soon roar strongly within you. It is completely normal to hold onto the things that are dear to us, but not too much that we're unwilling to move forward.

There is an emphasis on someone with Leo placements or this energy being very active in your chart during this upcoming period. Have the courage to say out loud "it's okay, I don't have control of everything and I'm fine with it. I have the courage to overcome my own mental self limitations." Creativity and romance is awaiting, and if you trust yourself, there will be plenty of joy surrounding your connections.

Sagittarius: king of cups, the tower, and the emperor

First hand, the reading gave me a "bachelor/ette times are over!". You were trying to be in a very suave, balanced, and generous mindset during the beginning of this eclipse season, but there will be a sudden change and rude awakening that will come towards you. This will occur surrounding your own idea of what masculine energy is and how it functions within you (regardless of gender). It will bring a strong shake towards the structures you've built and the illusion of power that you've used to stay in that "going with the flow" type of mentality. The universe wants to have a reality check, and set you back on your feet to where your real power lays.

You deserve to get a real taste of success, and enjoy that "big d*ck" energy that sits deep within you. Even if the process throws you down and makes your reevaluate many things in a harsh way, just know you will come out of it walking out of it like a literal "king". You've been wanting it anyways, so in technicality, this will be the results of what you've been manifesting for a while now. No more la la land, just straight serious business with no beating around the bush. You're turning from a laid back i-don't-mind-anything mindset to a time to get shit done. Bare to minimum emotions, just full blown cold hard logic. But again, this is what you had been desiring deep down.

You will get a real taste of how far you can get and how much authority you can truly get to wield. Accept the chaos, and embrace that order that comes afterward. Ready or not, it is here.

Capricorn: page of wands, six of pentacles, and the sun

You will be receiving or giving some sort of financial generosity or kindness. This could either come/go towards a foreigner or fire sign that you meet while traveling/exploring a place. There is a strong feeling of joy, positivity, and success coming your way during this eclipse season. You could travel somewhere warm or be dealing with an individual that comes from such regions. This will be a time for exploring your creativity, and choosing to happily extend it towards others because it just feels right. There's a journey you will be embarking on that makes you feel giddy, and it is that feeling that will continue to attract positive financial situations towards you.

After all, its not all about just you taking responsibilities that are uncomfortable and difficult to deal with, there's also the ones that you take upon yourself with a full smile. You also deserve to be taken care of and provided. Allow others to nurture you, and watch it all unfold in the best way possible. Trust that the universe is leading towards a path where you will encounter like-minded individuals, and leisurely enjoy the big and small pleasures that life is throwing your way. Exercise moderation and good dose of empathy!

Aquarius: seven of wands, knight of cups, three of swords rx

Time to step your foot down and handle the challenges or obstacles that are coming towards you with a lot of healing and forgiving energy. A sort of "kill them with kindness" situation. You might feel the need to defend yourself from individuals who might be approaching with a desire to bring clarity or mending wounds in regards of past affairs. You can choose to react or respond. This will be a period for you to heal, receive full clarity about previous wounds, and look into the opportunities (romantic or creative) that will let you release and release those wounds once and for all.

If the person comes bearing no ill will, do not choose to retaliate just to gain an upper hand or to win, instead, allow them to express themselves freely, and then let go with love and peace. Do not run from the situations that could arrive to help you further your healing journey, even when they justifiably trigger your desire to avoid it all together. Some faces will remind you of familiar wounds, but instead of coming with more pain, they can come with solutions. Do not engage into any degree of negative self-talk, as this will only cloud your judgment.

Remember you're not the same person you were 6 months or a year ago, and even if this situation comes sudden and sort of unexpected, you are more than ready to handle it. No one will take away your peace. Pay attention to the things that other people can do which reminds you of old triggers, specially towards your values or resources. Your self worth is being highlighted, and you are within your right to protect it. Stay financially smart by planning ahead and embracing a mindset of abundance.

Pisces: the devil rx, queen of cups rx, ten of wands rx

Ou! This reading really said, YOU are the main character for this eclipse season, Pisces. You are on the verge of a break-through or an up-levelling, but first, you must let go of any unhealthy attachments or limiting beliefs that may hold you back. It may be an addiction, unhealthy relationships, or a disengaging career. This period will help you confront your inner fears and anxieties to free yourself from the chains that bind you to your limiting beliefs and unhealthy attachments. It may be about creating a healthier diet, less social media, quitting smoking, spending more time with your loved ones, or focusing more on your goals.

There is a strong focus on letting go of situations that emotionally drain you a lot. There is a need to set firm boundaries and let others know that you are not willing to take on their emotional baggage. Allow them to learn how to be more responsible for their feelings and life experience, after all, they also need to go on their own journey to learn how to cope. It seems that you are simply trying to do too much by yourself, and in your effort to be everything to everyone, you have found yourself struggling under the weight of it all. Delegate and share the work – you don’t have to do it alone. Be firm in saying no to the things you know you can’t take on.

Extra card for Pisces for "what can aid them navigate these moments": 10 of cups!

The support you need is already with you, just accept it and let go of those feelings that keep you thinking you must figure it all out on your own. There are people who drain you, and people who want to support you! Focus on the latter, and allow the rest to navigate their own waters. At the moment, you're going through a lot of meaningful changes that will help you prosper, but bottling things up inside and thinking you have to handle it all without asking for help can become detrimental. Use the energy of this eclipse to release and seek warm within the arms of those who make you feel safe, secure, and loved. Your family, relationship, or desires for long term emotional fulfillment are with you already, just let them in.

Flowers - Azula x reader - Part VI

Part I, Part II, Part III, Part IV, Part V, Part VII, [main masterlist]

Azula x reader, requested by 🌹-anon, warnings: arranged marriage, drama¿

983 words, although I'm not too happy with it, please have fun :)

Azula's eyes flared with rage. "Y/N, for your own sake, step away from that person. Now." You wanted to. Every sane emotion inside of you wanted to let go of your suitors hand, run to Azula and never turn back, but you couldn't. Instead, unable to think clearly, all the anger and desperation you had gathered in the last weeks you unleashed at her - was she not the one who put the weight of this situation on your shoulders?

If she had not rejected and disgraced you? If she had accepted your flower instead of burning it you wouldn't have had to endure the yoke of this arranged marriage in the first place.

You now put your thoughts that were flaming with anger into words: "Why should I listen to you, Azula?", you said, trying to sound calm, "You couldn't have made it clearer that my personal feelings and affairs mean nothing to you, so tell me, what makes you think that I would be so foolish to fall for your lies just like everyone else does? If you truly cared for me, if you wanted me to step away only 'for my own sake', you wouldn't have rejected me, you wouldn't have ignored and avoided me for months and you wouldn't have let shame come over my family and me."

It was clear, that Azula was on the verge of freaking out. If it had been anyone other than you saying this, she would have ended them with a wave of blue fire, but only for you she stood calm and collected, at least on the outside. "Y/N, I understand why you might feel upset, but we will talk about that later, in the palace." Azula said. "But for the time being, I consider it necessary for you to end that engagement of yours. You see, this… person", she said, gesturing towards your suitor, "is worth neither my nor your presence. I can simply not tolerate that you put them in one place with me by planning on starting a relationship with them, just like you wanted to do with me - it's disgraceful, both for you to lower yourself so much that you really considered this horrendous idea of marrying them and for me to be put in one category with them. You are going to immediately cancel your marriage plans and come back to the palace with me. I will not accept anything but pure obedience regarding this matter."

The seriousness in her tone made you begin questioning your picture of Azula, as more and more clear thoughts and emotions made their way back into your head - had Azula really changed her mind? At least she had sounded very serious when saying she wanted you back. Did she really want you to come with her to save you from this? Maybe you weren't meaningless to her at all? Could it be that she wasn't even to blame for these happenings? Just now it occurred to you, that saying the things you had said to Azula might have been a mistake. You also realised, that this might be your chance to get away from your suitor - having realised that, you were suddenly very happy that Azula was here! The mass of all of these thoughts unfortunately made you unable to answer, you first had to calm down.

Your soon-to-be spouse was, contrary to you, not speechless, though. Instead, they dared speaking up to Azula, telling her that it was ridiculous and unhonorable to demand things such as simply canceling a lawful marriage. "What do you propose is going to happen instead of this?", they continued, mocking Azula "Are y o u going to marry y/n?" They laughed at the thought for a moment. "You couldn't take proper care of y/n even if your life depended on it. Look at what you did to y/n - if I hadn't s a v e d them from you, who knows what the unbearable pain you inflicted on them could have led to? If you truly care for y/n, leave us alone." While saying this, they put an arm around your shoulder, making you cringe away and showing you just how much you wanted this to end - now would be a good time for Azula to step in, as you still were unable to think properly.

Luckily, Azula seemed to feel the same way, as she descended from her mount and began walking towards you, or rather towards your suitor. "You seem to underestimate my ability to receive everything I desire", she said, making it clear that she was getting annoyed by this senseless talking, "let them go." But your suitor was not intending to do that: "I do not think so. If you truly want to have y/n, you will have to prove yourself worthy. I hereby challenge you to an Agni Kai." Azula's eyes lit with a newfound shine when hearing these words. "So be it. May the better bender win." They went to the nearest field to carry out their duel, leaving you to follow them.

While it was a bit strange seeing them argue about you as if you were a trinket or some other object, you didn't mind it in the slightest; rather, you felt flattered. If Azula was willing to fight for you in an Agni Kai, didn't that mean that you were important to her?

Even though you had seen Azula take part in many fights before and couldn't imagine her losing this Agni Kai, you still were worried for her… you smiled at this feeling as it reminded you about how often you had been worried for her on your missions, only to be once again overwhelmed by her astonishing firebending skills.

However that did not stop you from becoming nervous when your suitor and Azula positioned themselves for the duel.

Revue Starlight Thoughts before I explode, spoilers for movie and series to come.

Under a straightforward reading, Maya Tendo and Claudine Saijo of Revue Starlight together fulfill the narrative roles of setting the standard towards which our seemingly hapless main character must strive, and typifying the power that can be derived from a rivalry dynamic, the most important relational dynamic in sports-tournament-show-alikes such as this one.

However, Revue Starlight is a show that defies expectations as often as it can, and the couple of rivals most revered by the Stage Girls have a series of narrative tricks up their fur tufted sleeves.

The greatest twist, and the gayest, is their final duet. We witness a number of important, symbolic clarifications and twists. Claudine opens the number dressed masculine and calling herself a devil. A tempter and a figure who will lead others astray. She promises Maya to show her a new stage, a new challenge, a new performance that's unlike any other. As viewers, at this point, we know that Maya Tendo has been long considered the most talented and most overwhelming of the Stage Girls, with Claudine her long suffering number 2. At least, that is, until their final battle against Karen and Hikari in the main series.

In that climactic fight, Claudine and Maya were working together, demonstrating that a rivalry between two talented Stage Girls elevates their performance to the nearly untouchable. In that fight, the main little lover girls finally best these Nearly Top Stars. However, Maya falls, and the shame Claudine feels is so overwhelming that she instantly chops off her own star, shouting with a sincerity that is unusual for her that she actually should take the loss. That she can't bear the thought that Maya, her Maya, could ever lose. Her admiration and love for Maya has been her shine, her reason for always performing at the top of her game.

So, swinging around back to the movie, we know a major theme is the girls realizing their own ambitions, despite the bonds that might need to change, and sacrifices that might need to occur. The first song concludes with Maya Tendo, again, the number 1 to Claudine's number 2. However, that's when position zero is closed over with Claudine's shine driving the gears beneath the stage, and Claudine literally (literally!!!) sticks her tongue out to show the real star resting in her mouth the entire fight.

Maya claims her victory was due to her pure, empty, soulless talent. However, that leaves the door open for Claudine to do two very important, very gay inversions of the situation. 1) Force her most beloved and respected to lose, which we know she abhors and 2) Push herself for her own selfish reasons to strive to be better than Maya, to no longer live in her shadow, as the devil to her angel.

Because, of course, in Revue Starlight, to lose is to win. Win self-respect, or win new motivation, or understand the depths to which they are loved. To understand that they can exist as failures, truly and vividly exist. Claudine shouts at Maya that she thinks she's never been more adorable than when she drops the pretty, polite, professional facade and screams her head off about being the sun in the sky to a bunch of lowly dirt worms.

Because, of course, the shine we are talking about is the girls making fools of themselves, making earnest and deeply sincere efforts to out clown each other, to admit that to which they are most deeply terrified to share and as a result create the most spectacular (and gay) performance possible.

Claudine wins, framed elaborately and with flowers, and having beaten the only person to whom she would ever willingly accept a loss, or even having previously voluntarily lost to, in order to maintain the appropriate order.

However, now they learn that in order to survive, hand in hand, as they fall together and burn, it must be with their entire hearts, filthy with dark passions and no longer lying to themselves.

#revue starlight #what is this #dunno #it's barely scratching the surface if I had the energy to screen cap and go line by line it'd be all over for you people

His Desire, His Fear, His Misbelief

A Character Study - Part II: Yves, Licht, Nokto, Luke

The continuation of the "Desire, Fear, Misbelief" Ikemen Prince character study. Jin, Chevalier, Clavis, and Leon are here. For a refresher:

Their desire, or the nonnegotiable goal they are trying to accomplish.

Their fear, or the person/thing/idea that’s preventing them from achieving their goal.

Their misbelief, or the “bubble” they crafted around their world for the purpose of achieving their goal while avoiding their fear at all costs.

The life-changing event that lined these three up, typically occurring in childhood.

Same setup, same content disclaimers, same spoiler warnings for all the routes. Hope you enjoy.

Yves Kloss

His Desire?

To bring honor to both his kingdoms and unite them as allies.

His Fear?

That his existence is a curse; abandoned by Obsidian and can only bring shame to Rhodolite.

His Misbelief?

In order to protect his people and the kingdom he loves, he must stay out of sight and work in the shadows.

His Life-changing Event?

The death of his wet nurse/nanny.

What does he do to achieve his goal while avoiding his fear?

Heavy expectations were set upon Yves before his birth in bridging the divide between the quarreling nations of Rhodolite and Obsidian, and while he understands it was impossible to alter the course of history, he still places blame on himself for every misfortune that followed his birth: his mother’s death, the break down of the peace negotiations, etc. Despite his best intentions, this and the Rhodolitians’ treatment lead him to truly believe he is a cursed prince undeserving of love, and Yves becomes the conventional prince who grew up watching his kingdoms from his room out of fear of ruining the happinesses of the citizens he loves but never met.

Licht Klein

His Desire?

To punish himself for his crime, and for Nokto to live a happy life.

His Fear?

That he will never atone for his sin.

His Misbelief?

That he doesn't deserve kindness or empathy or light, and he must punish himself even if no one else will hold him accountable.

His Life-changing Event?

His mother’s murder.

What does he do to achieve his goal while avoiding his fear?

Licht’s personality shifted the most drastically of all the princes before and after his life-changing event to the point where his perceptions of reward and punishment swapped. He becomes incredibly uncomfortable when people praise him for his skills and his kindness, and he consciously puts himself in situations where he knows he will get hurt (mentally and physically). Even though his intentions the night his mother died were to save his broken family, he believes he failed everyone and is no longer worthy of living the innocent life he always dreamed of, least of all with Nokto, which developed into his solitary lifestyle and self-harming tendencies.

Nokto Klein

His Desire?

To provide value to the kingdom with pride as a prince, and for Licht to live a happy life.

His Fear?

That he is the weak link; a burden others always have to pick up the slack for.

His Misbelief?

To stay afloat he must take on more responsibility and keep up with the increasing demand, even if that means forfeiting his body and sanity.

His Life-changing Event?

His mother’s murder.

What does he do to achieve his goal while avoiding his fear?

Nokto and Licht grew up believing they perfectly completed one another; where one struggles the other lends a helping hand. Even through the trials their mother subjected them to, they never once questioned that one might be better than the other. However, watching Licht sacrifice his “humanity” to protect him the night of their mother’s death was the wakeup call that he is the inferior twin, and he pushes himself to never fall in a situation where he is so useless to the ones he loves ever again. He recognizes that he cannot match the other princes on the battlefield, so he focuses his efforts on battles of the mind. While this settles his political and bodily desires, it breeds loneliness and manifests a manipulated psyche where he can no longer communicate his true feelings even to himself.

Luke Randolph

His Desire?

To avenge his sister and bring down the Rhodolitian royal family.

His Fear?

That he’d grow to care for someone more than his sister, thus forsaking her death.

His Misbelief?

To live his life through apathy. He mustn’t grow attached to anything or anyone.

His Life-changing Event?

His sister’s death at the hands of his brother.

What does he do to achieve his goal while avoiding his fear?

Young Luke was plucked from the horrors of Bloodstained Rose Day with nothing except an inextinguishable craving to take revenge on his sister’s killer. This made him ripe for manipulation by Gilbert, charting the course for the next ten years of his life hellbent on destroying the Rhodolitian royal family. This included feeding him thoughts of mistrust in the government, his association with the anti-monarchy faction, and him joining the ranks as a low-level soldier at the capitol without a care for what happens after he fulfills his purpose. However, the years of exploitation finally crumbled at his discovery that the princes are not like his “friends” described (save for Chevalier), and it all comes to a head when he finds himself caring for Belle and discovering his target was Jin all along.

**Final notes: This batch was more difficult, and I think a large part of it was because Licht and Nokto's goals and fears are the only ones that are intertwined with one another, which was interesting to decipher, and because Luke's goal is very concrete with no clear ambition after he achieves it. Interesting to consider.

As always, you are free to agree/disagree. These are merely my interpretations of these characters and a lot of nuance is left out.

Many thanks to @batteryrose and @aquagirl1978 for helping me dissect the twins!

Battle on the Sugoroku Board - God Won’t Roll The Dice 6

(Location: “Battle on the Sugoroku Board” program set)

Arashi: Use this app…… Is this ok?

Natsume: YeP. It looks like the item is actually being useD. Let’s gO, then.

Natsume and Arashi: 3, 2, 1— GO!

Idol: They split into two! Defeat them both!

Arashi: Ufufu, even if I’m from the track and field club, I can’t avoid a “Dice Battle” that’ll start as soon as I encounter someone.

Still, it’s a shame……♪

Idol A: A “Dice Battle” isn’t being triggered……!?

Arashi: We used a support item. When using the “Disappearing Mantle” (1) — this item prevents the person using this item from joining a “Dice Battle”.

There’s the disadvantage where you would not be able to proceed with a battle on your own, but it’s useful for when you’re in a situation surrounded by enemies.

For example, you can make your enemies fight each other just like this……☆

Idol B: Oi, you……

Idol A: Wha……! You guys were the ones who said to ambush them!

Idol B: You’re the one who said to “Run down the NewDi Team”. Don’t make this our fault!

Natsume: Oh my mY. A falling out between friends is unsightly, you knOW?

FuFU, it seeMS like you guys wanted to ambush the NewDi Team, but the opposite thing happenED.

In this “Battle on the Sugoroku Board”, the momeNT you come into contact with the enemy team’s idol, a “Dice Battle” wiLL be triggered.

HowevER, the range of the “enemy contact” is a tricky thiNG. The “Dice Battle” would nOT trigger unless you’re within a certain distance. Which means, you can’NT defeat an enemy by just observing.

That’s why I took advantaGE of that rule, setting fiRE to all the ambushing idols on the other side all at once. (2)

Natsume: “It seEMS that I wasn’t able to join the “Dice Battle” though — Everyone is in a marriage interview, but is it fiNe if you let me slip away?”(3) ……Or something like thaT.

And then a “Dice Battle” outbreak will occUR between the multiple enemy teams gathered here.

It truly is a wholesale arrest. (4) Sorry about this, but I’m makING everyone sustain huge damages…….♪

Idol C: Shit, is there no way to avoid a “Dice Battle” with this many people!?

Idol D: How many teams are here……!

Natsume: Come aloNG, now iS the time to run, Kaminari-san.

Arashi: Yes. While the support item’s time limit isn't reached. Watching the infighting between them is fun in its own way, but it’s not the time to get carried away watching right?

Among everyone involved in this “Dice Battle”outbreak, only one person would come out with a large amount of gold and items.

We can’t afford to not run from such a dangerous person, see?

Bye, everyone. Let’s meet again sometime ♪

But that’s only if you can safely survive……☆

Ufufu, somehow I feel refreshed♪

Ah, it’s fun when your strategy goes well, right? A great achievement, leader.

Natsume: WeLL, I’m not just putting on appearances of having gotten to know games, you knOW. I’m usEd to abusing rules like these.

……More importantLY, you saw didn't yOU? Mikejima-senpai.

Madara: Yeah. I found you immediately since you were ‘lighting the fire’ so loudlyyy.

By purposely revealing your whereabouts, you managed to get even more people to get caught up in the “Dice Battle.” Thanks to that, all I could do was to look on from a distance from the surrounding area thoough?

Natsume: That’s my bAD.

Right now people who approach us are forced to engaGE in battle with other teams. We’ve usED a valuable item, so we haVE to make use of it thoroughly.

Arashi: However, it seems that thanks to that, people from other teams won’t be able to get their hands on us as easily.

Mama’s back too, so now the NewDi Team is complete.

Madara: Ah, about that. On the way back here, I earned a little reward. If you’d like, please use it.

Natsume: HmM, 300G……That’s quiTE a lot of money. That’LL be of help.

Madara: Also, I have something to tell Natsume-san.

Natsume: Hm?

Madara: It’s about that. Idols from weaker agencies are colluding to defeat the NewDi Team.

They’ve been told to make it look like we ES idols are defeated. On the show program’s side, it seems that they’re painting the scene for us ES idols to lose.

To put simply, it’s “staged.”

Natsume: “Staged”......?

Madara: Yeah. I don’t really know why, but we’ve made ourselves enemieess. It looks like the agencies have been egging them on.

It seems among them, there are idols who have been given items by the management and are complicit with the “staging”.

Natsume: I sEE. I had an inkling of thiS, but the “Battle on the Sugoroku Board” staff were pulling the strings behind the scenes, huH.

But this iS baffling. Letting us win shoulD garner more rising popularity— I don’t seE any merit in purposely letting idols from other agencies win.

The hard-to-know-what-he’s-thinking-aboUT “NETV” program director who had caused a violent incident in the paST. As well as the idoLS from weaker agencies gathered here……

It feeLS like there has to be a reason they are all coincidentally gathered here. This isn’t a chance arrangemeNT, so there shouLD be several clues to find.

………

Could it bE— it might be possiblE to understand their intentions.

Madara: Oh……

Arashi: Can you tell us in more detail?

Natsume: MmM. However there’s noT much time. I’ll explain as we keep on the moVE.

EveryoNE, I’m going to be developing a certain strategy from now on, so could you lend me your cooperatioN?

I’m going to buy “Disappearing Mantle” one morE time. If I don't do thAT, there are things that can’t be done, you sEE.♪

TL Notes:

隠れ身マント (kakuremi manto; lit. vanishing from sight (thus, disappearing) mantle) could refer to the JP terms of either these three things; the Pokemon item 'Covert Cloak', the Doraemon gadget 'Invisible Cape' or the Harry Potter 'Invisibility Cloak'. Mod would like to note that each and every one of these terms are written using different sets of characters.

Lit. ‘to light a fire’, but it means to ‘instigate fighting between two or more sides’. Kept it in for the fire vibes. Go Natsume.

お見合い - A formal marriage interview; in which the participants meet to discuss the prospect of getting married.

Private detective fiction is the peak of autistic fantasy, tbh. Oh, I'm a weird little creature in freakishly comfy clothes who gets highly passionate about the tiny details of insignificant things I have been quietly rotating in my mind since before I entered this country, and you're telling me this is key to solving giant puzzle boxes crammed with Characters and Situations that regularly spawn around the world?

I can just waltz into these ornate mansions peopled by society's wealthiest, chuckling as their disdain for my eccentricities is gradually eroded by immense shame at the consequences of their greed and arrogance?

I'm terrible at reading social cues, but in a really sexy and kinda minmaxed way that lets me periodically gain insights into the fabric of people's souls?

I am late to meetings and reluctant to get out of bed, but only because my episodes of deep dissociation have in fact helped me predict events occuring far into next week with pinpoint accuracy?

I encounter places filled with the most thoroughly inscrutable and recalcitrant people I've ever seen, but they eventually have to explain everything they think and feel and have done and expect to happen to me in excruciating detail as many times as I demand because otherwise they'll literally be murdered in their beds or have their darkest secrets revealed?

I can issue orders for the most seemingly unrelated and irrelevant books that correspond to my latest hyperfixations and rest assured that they shall in fact turn out to be tangentially-yet-vitally related to matters of international importance and endow me with the knowledge necessary to outfox billionaire grifters?

I cultivate a host of assistants and helpers who respect and adore me, occasionally in highly homoerotic ways, and are willing to keep track of my sensitivities and vulnerabilities and pet peeves and sudden needs, running for me every conceivable errand because they truly believe that I am an indispensable agent in the pursuit of higher truths and grand ideals? And they sometimes take bullets for me and passionately intercede on my behalf against the haters, only to turn around and stare ardently into my eyes and call me a loser and a freak in a loving whisper that signifies their profound authority on the topic?

I sometimes get paid for all this?

Please never wake me up.

Fuck the plagiarist and their manipulative tactics! They're literally emotionally manipulating anyone who reads their post and they're doing it in a horrid way

Oh, no, nonnie! They're TOTALLY allowed to feel the way they do. And I would say their feelings are even justified, to some extent - if their statements are true, they've been getting all sorts of horrible comments their way which is NEVER fun and can absolutely cause all sorts of anxiety. I feel bad for them, I truly do. I don't condone that kind of commentary toward ANYONE. Whoever is doing it is truly vile.

It's just a shame that this person threw discussion of their anxiety into the mix to distract from the root of the issue; that there is actual, concrete proof of their plagiarism, which they have repeatedly refused to take ownership of, refused to apologise for, and refused to move on from as they have claimed. Never mind the fact that every time they speak on it, they attempt to deflect by claiming that turns of phrase are 'common' and yet, there is NO WAY to have made entire paragraphs that similar without committing the act of plagiarism.

Mental health is not an excuse for shitty behaviour. If this person's mental health has been impacted by the horrible anons they've been getting, then I really hate that. However, wasn't me. And I'd love for anyone who HAS been doing that to FUCK ALL THE WAY OFF THE PLANET. Sort out your issues like a normal person, don't send threatening messages to others and think you're somehow doing something good. Disgusting.

If this person's mental health has been impacted by being called out as a plagiarist, however, then perhaps they need to reflect on that and do better. I am not responsible for this person's mental health. I will not be baited into taking culpability for someone else's thoughts of anxiety, depression, SH and SI because I called them out for incorporating a whole bunch from my work into their own. To attempt to maneuver me into taking culpability for these is incredibly disrespectful not only to me, but to this person themselves. In effect, what is occurring is this: "You called me out for plagiarism and as a result, you've destroyed my will to live." I will not accept blame for that, though I empathise with feeling low.

As I have said from the very beginning, we could have handled this privately. I didn't even ask for them to rewrite - just to stop doing what they were doing by copying me. Every single thing that has occurred since has occurred as a result of their refusal to deal with this situation civilly instead of resorting to insults.

I have receipts, dated and compared as evidence. They do not. I can prove they did copy me. They cannot prove they did not. At the end of the day, we all know who is right and who is wrong. If this person has had to resort to emotional manipulation to justify their actions, then it only serves to make the situation all the more clear.

I wish - I wish - this person had been mature enough to attempt civil conversation with me. I wish they weren't so terrified of admitting they did the wrong thing. But they simply cannot. And thus, I would truly like to wash my hands of this whole thing. Until their next escalation, of course.

sharing my coming out story because it's pride [and because i don't think it's on here]

Hi.

My name is Kyli aka bi-bard. As my username suggests, I am bisexual. I have been out publicly for a good number of years now, but my coming out story actually occurred before I started posting my writing on tumblr.

So. In honor of pride month, I wanted to share my coming out story.

I realized that I was bisexual in middle school. I was scared and confused. I had never truly questioned my sexuality before then. But once I started to do that, I couldn't get myself to stop.

I have been very fortunate in my life. I come from a family where I know that the people who matter the most to me would accept me no matter what. I was luckier than most and I am entirely aware of that.

However, that knowledge and awareness didn't stop me from being terrified about coming out and telling people who I was. I was still incredibly aware of how people online and those around me a day-to-day basis could act and think. I wasn't sure if I would be safe in the community that I had to be a part of due to where I lived or in the community that I had found such comfort in on the internet.

So, that fear kept me pretty quiet for a while.

I came out to a few friends at the time, who were also part of the community.

I would like to focus more on my family than anything else.

I came out to my older sibling first. I was met with a huge smile and a request to tell one of their friends. My older sibling also helped me when it came to coming out to my parents.

My original plan was to give each of my parents a letter.

I slipped my dad's letter in his jacket that he took to work at the time. I didn't think he'd find it until he was at work the next morning.

That didn't happen. He found it while he was in the driveway.

I was getting ready for school and he knocked on my door and told me that he accepted me and loved me. I had to sit in my room for about twenty minutes so I could calm down and stop crying.

Along with that acceptance, he asked that I don't give my mom a letter.

So, I didn't.

That night, I came out to my mom. I was crying and shaking and it was not a fun experience. She was also incredibly accepting and we ended up having a really great discussion about how sad it was that I had to be in tears in order to tell her.

Unrelated note: my goal is still to get my mom to watch Nick's coming out scene with his mom in Heartstopper because that shit was almost a direct translation.

My final step in my coming out journey was the internet. As mentioned, I was already writing on Wattpad at the time. I sat with this quick draft open for ages before I finally got the nerve to post it. Those who did respond to it were incredibly kind and incredibly accepting.

My hope with sharing this story is to provide some comfort for people.

Coming out is scary no matter the situation. You could have the most accepting people around you, but that doesn't change the internal fear. You are not alone in that fear and you are not dumb or overreacting for experiencing.

You get to decide the timeline that your coming out journey follows. You get to decide who to tell and when to tell them. If you feel pressured into coming out to anyone around you, then you are around the wrong people.

And finally, you are not defined by the stereotypes of your sexuality. You are not defined by how others use those stereotypes to shame, fetishize, demean, or reject you. You are an individual with a million and one different pieces and your sexuality is only one of them.

Thank you for reading this whole message. Thank you those who have followed me and accepted me as who I am.

I love you, I support you, and I wish you the best of luck in whatever your self-discovery brings next.

Happy Pride!!

REACTIVE “ABUSE”: WHAT IT IS AND WHY ABUSERS RELY ON IT

One of the most common tactics abusers use is to shift blame for the abuse onto the victim. The abuser will claim the victim is the abuser because of the reaction the victim has. The abuser may even attempt to convince the victim that there is nothing worth reacting over and that the victim is overreacting to the abuse. What the victim is actually experiencing is called reactive abuse.

Definition

Reactive abuse occurs when the victim reacts to the abuse they are experiencing. The victim may scream, toss out insults, or even lash out physically at the abuser. The abuser then retaliates by telling the victim that they are, in fact, the abuser.

Why abusers rely on it

Abusers rely on this “reactive abuse” because it is their “proof” that the victim is unstable and mentally ill. The abuser will hold these reactions against the victims indefinitely. It could be years later and the abuser will say, “Well, back in (whatever year), you had this reaction and acted all crazy. You’re the crazy one! You need help.”

Sometimes abusers use this reaction as an excuse to go to police or even file for protective orders of their own.

A method of manipulation

To manipulate is to unfairly influence a situation. When an abuser claims they are the ones being abused, they are manipulating us into believing we are at fault for the abuse. The abusers are conditioning and manipulating us to accept the blame. The longer this blame shifting goes on, the longer we will believe we are to blame for the reactive outbursts and abuse that the abuser is dishing out. We will begin to believe we are the violent and unstable ones.

This manipulation can even go so far as to cause us to feel shame. When we react, it causes the abuser to claim we are the abusive ones. But these reactions also add a second element to the mix – they cause us to feel bad about ourselves to the point of guilt and shame. We act against what we know to be true about ourselves – that we are good, kind, capable, loving people. But that goes out the window when we experience the guilt and shame more and more. The guilt and shame that the abusers continue to condition us to feel.

Reactive abuse vs. mutual abuse

According to domesticshelters.org, mutual abuse is when both partners are equally abusive to one another. Many survivors often ask themselves if they are abusive too because of how they react, but the truth is that mutual abuse is very rare and many experts don’t believe it exists. The power and control dynamics involved in domestic violence would make it nearly impossible for both partners to be abusive.

The key word here is “react.” That’s the difference between reactive abuse and mutual abuse. Victims and survivors react to the abuse doled out by the abuser.

What we can do instead

When you see yourself reacting in this manner, many times you begin to say to yourself, “Whoa, this isn’t me. This isn’t how I am normally.” When you begin to ask yourself those questions, you know something is not right with the relationship. I know I thought those things before – that I knew how I was reacting wasn’t me. It wasn’t who I was. That’s what the abuser wants – to make you question yourself, your character, and your integrity. But many times, by the time we get to the point of asking ourselves those questions, we are either too scared to leave the abuser or we just don’t have the means to do so.

So what can we do instead? The abusers bank on us reacting negatively to their tactics. When we begin to truly think about how we respond to them, we are taking back our power. We begin to respond and not react. To react is almost like an automatic thing – it’s the fight or flight response. But responding involves a thought process that requires us to really consider our thoughts and actions.

Within the realm of domestic violence, there is always one who initiates or instigates the problems in the relationship. It comes back to that one person needing power and control over their victim. That’s what abuse is – the imbalance of power. The abuser, however, would like us to believe otherwise and say, “Well, we were abusive to each other. It’s mutual abuse.” It’s because the abusers will never accept responsibility for their actions and instead shift blame for the abuse onto us.

If you or someone you know is in an abusive relationship, there is help. You can visit the Break the Silence website at www.breakthesilencedv.org or chat with one of our helpline advocates at 855-287-1777.

Please burn my eyes off

To start off do not send hate to this individual please but..

Imagine sexualizing a man that has never had a right to his own body…

Holly was not teaching Alex about mental, emotional, and PHYSICAL boundaries. He never got a right to say “No, don’t do this to me” and if he did it would have resulted in punishment. Alex was physically taken two times in his life! Which was followed by abuse. From his “aunt” and “uncle” it is not all explicitly explained. We know he was forced to consume drugs, physically abused, and I would assume sexually abused as well. We know what Keller did to him. Alex has never had control of what goes into his body or what happens to it. It has been pushed onto him by others, basically, his entire life. It appears as though Alex is not fond of physical touch.

In the film, it is shown with Loki. When Alex is being interrogated, Loki barely grazes him, and Alex states do not touch me. And pulled back at minor touches. When Alex is sitting next t his “aunt” his hands are on his lap, and he is very stiff, sitting away from his “aunt” as if to avoid touching her. Even a graze of his hand by accident.

Part of intimacy and sexual relationships is consent and understanding all that entails. Do you think a man that has been through that could understand the concept of consent, truly? That he has a right to his body and what happens.

I would see Alex as an individual who would allow something to happen to him. Because deep in his mind, as a result of his experiences and trauma, he thinks he deserves whatever happens to him.

If there was an individual who was kind and caring to him. Alex would probably agree to whatever they say just to please them. Because they are nice to him! Finally, someone is kind. What will happen if he doesn't do what they ask? Will they abuse him and the little kindness he’s ever known is gone. And why would he want that?

There would be a power dynamic as a result of his trauma and because of his mental state as well. People immediately jump to “Oh it's because he is mentally disabled!!” Yes, he is mentally disabled. But….he also stopped receiving proper education at the age of seven. Was continuously drugged over the course of almost 30 years. Mentally manipulated and gaslight almost his entire life. Those circumstances combined are going to heavily impact the brain, especially the drugs.

Consuming drugs through the crucial moments of brain development; childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. That would jumble anyone's brain and understanding.

I think it is gross that people look over the intense trauma, drug use, and developmental opportunities when it comes to the discussion of sexualizing Alex. They immediately jump to “Oh he has an intellectual disability! And you don't want to fuck him?! Well, then you're ablest!” Like no babes it is more than that. Did we watch the same movie??

I don't know I’ve had people make comments to me about it and how I’m infantilizing Alex because I do not want to sexualize him. And they won’t respect that and make me out to be a bad guy as a result?

I think the fact that people will shame someone for not wanting to engage in sexual content or create sexual content for Alex Jones shows a lot. Like you are literally exhibiting a lack of respect for someone's sexual comfort and boundaries when you do that? And you want me to believe when you sexualize Alex Jones it is because you do respect him…

People argue that if h received therapy and assistance he could reach that point. Sure…but are you writing about Alex ten years post-film after he has received extensive therapy, a basic education, and gone through a rehab facility?? I don't think so lol

Alex would not be rescued and removed from a situation and be immediately okay. There were a lot of things that occurred over his life. He was kidnapped, abused (emotionally, mentally, physically, and probably sexually), drugged, manipulated, and was probably made to help lure and murder children. That is a lot more than your average childhood trauma that will not be undone after a couple of years.

Also, I see people state that Alex is just like any other man. No, he is not? If you walk up to a man on the street they will not have those experiences (I hope not anyway). And that is okay!! Why can't Alex just exist as Alex? Why does he have to be like a neurotypical individual to be valid? He can be neurodivergent and traumatized and be valid. He does not have to be like anyone else.

As an autistic person that is what bothers me the most. When people try to say he is just like a ‘normal’ guy. No, he isn't and why does he have to be?? All my life I had people tell me “Oh you can be like everyone else if you try!” like no I can't my brain is wired differently and I behave differently. It took me a long time and I still struggle with it. But I have learned that is okay. I am different and that is fine I am still an individual ad deserves to exist as I am. As a neurodivergent person that is my opinion.

The wording “mentality of a 10-year-old” is outdated but the movie was also made almost ten years ago. Some people may take that literally. I take it as he has cognitive and developmental struggles which is a given in his situation.

Some things about this post:

-Just because someone does not sexualize Alex Jones does not mean they are infantilizing him. It is not one or the other. There can be an in-between. Where people treat Alex like a complex character (because he is) without sexualizing him. Platonic love and care does exist…

-Also I personally have not seen anyone call him a toddler. People may say babying things? I have seen people say they want to give him a blanket or a grille cheese or something. I do not think this stems from people viewing him as a baby. I think it is because people know he never had a childhood and probably never got to experience the nice simple things such as a comfy new blanket or a nice home-cooked meal. If you immediately jump to his mental condition at those statements may you be the problem?

-Alex Jones has a class C license. There is a photo of his ID. To obtain a class c license an individual has to; have an eye exam in the last 6 months, not experience seizures or fainting in the past 6 months, pass the driver's test, and have a valid address. (In my state) That is all! People act as if getting a license is this multi-step process with screening and exams like it is truly easy to get one if you can pass the paper exam. (Also Holly probably taught Alex how to drive so he could drive the van away after she kidnapped a child)

-They are disappointed with the lack of sexualization and I am disappointed at the sexualization so everyone is allowed to have their opinion.

(Also I don’t remember giving them my vote to speak on behalf of neurodivergent people but whatever lol)

Sorry if this is long and jumbled a bit I saw this and immediately started typing away. If anyone wants clarification on any of my thoughts let me know! I kind of types this quickly and did not want to make it an essay lol
