💭My thoughts about synastry aspects💭
This is my personal experience in relationship and friendship with people!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
🎵12th house synastry is a karmic placement. At first, you will spend a lot of time with each other and then this person just disappears from your life. Like it never happened. Also, it can mean that you often see them in your dreams. For me, it feels like this person understands you and you can show your true self without expecting criticism from them. It just feels like heaven and a dream that doesn't last long forever. But guys don't forget that the 12th house can represent your hidden enemies. Just be super careful when sharing your deep feelings and secrets.
💋Mars/Moon negative aspects can be really good, especially in sexual life but not in a relationship. You'll definitely argue a lot. Hurting each other's feelings and there may be a little jealousy :)
Mars person hurts Moon person's feelings. Sometimes Moon person may be scared of the Mars person. It also can mean physical violence. I'm sure that Mars person wants to have sex with Moon ;)
💦Moon opposite Moon aspect is such a good synastry in my opinion. Like there is a quick understanding of each other. I know that it's not perfect for EVERYONE but in my opinion, it works if you're determined to adapt or change. I'm a Pisces Moon and I like Virgo moon and other Virgo placements. For me, they're the most beautiful and kind people I've met in my life. Sending my love to Virgo placements.
💌Venus opposite Mars aspect I was Venus person and the other person is Mars. Honestly, I was so scared of this person because they were so aggressive and argumentative. I just didn't want to have a bad relationship with this person. Like never ever. I felt that I have to be more careful and mindful when it comes to this person. Because the aggression of this person is so terrifying and threatening to me. But maybe the reason is that they have moon mars opposition. Because it literally means emotionally expressive and violent. But right now our relationship is going well and I don't find them life-threatening. We sometimes talk to each other but it's on a very superficial level.
🔥5th house synastry is just about having fun with each other. Like it's so entertaining and awesome being together. Dancing and singing and having a great time. It's funny and enjoyable being with them because you are never bored when you're with them. And dating this person is like being in an adventurous fantasy book. You can try new things together but when something doesn't work out you'll just laugh at each other. Sex is gonna be fascinating and unforgettable.
💕Venus conjunct Descendant is a great placement in my opinion. You'll feel attracted to this person because this person has the same traits that you want in your partner. It means their personality and their looks are literally a perfect match for you. It gives me a lovely couple vibe. From my experience, I was just attracted to them but we couldn't have a relationship with each other. Because I always had bad aspects with Moon and Mars. Yeah, it's killed the connection and we said bye to each other. It was really hard to deal with it and left without any words. But if you have other good and harmonious placements then it's gonna be an amazing romantic love story.
🍀Mars/Saturn negative aspects in this synastry I was Saturn and he's Mars. You know this guy was so annoying and irritating like I just want to throw myself away. His behavior and actions were irrational and chaotic. Like Jesus Christ please save me from this person. I just can't stand near him and I always want to be away from this person. Like, don't touch me keep your hands away from me. It reminds me of being with a child who is constantly crying and annoying me.

A Date Gone Wrong
A little humor for you guys! I hope you guys like it and please leave your thoughts in the comments!
~*~*~*~
Eddie was never going to let Steve plan any of their dates ever again. He was having fun for a while, he would give him that. The hike was a little too much of a trek but the view, picnic, and company were amazing…
Until the squirrel came. 
For the past couple of weeks that they’d been dating, Eddie had been the one making all of the plans. He arranged movie nights, smoke outs, and trips to the bowling alley. He liked planning things and focusing all of his attention into making the best plans he could, it was what made him such a good DM. But he could understand why Steve felt he himself wasn’t putting enough effort in. He showed his love through gifts and cuddled affection. However, Steve was not good at planning. He decided for his first date to take Eddie to do something requiring physical exertion, and not in a fun way. Also, he unknowingly took Eddie to a place where he was surrounded by things he didn’t like. 
Fresh air, sunlight, mean and scary rodents with bushy tails, bugs, the list continues. But Eddie was doing a great job ignoring all of that by focusing on Steve. He looked amazing and his tan skin stretched over delicious muscles as he walked. Even the sun was focusing on how hot his boyfriend was. The beams of sunlight that fell on him made him look like an angel.
They sat down just past midday to eat the picnic Steve prepared for them and inside the little cooler was the best sandwich Eddie had ever tasted. He groaned in pleasure and sent Steve a thumbs up. He’d never experienced a grilled chicken sandwich with pesto mayonnaise as delicious as this one. Eddie was just starting to relax, to enjoy this outdoors date when it happened. 
A small squirrel ran up to Steve and climbed into his lap, nibbling on the crumbs from his sandwich that rested there. The both paused, albeit for different reasons. Steve didn’t want to disrupt the little creature or scare it at all so he didn’t move a muscle. Eddie, though, was terrified and he couldn’t move out of fear. He’d been terrified of squirrels ever since he was a kid when he was chased, peed on, and climbed on in quick succession when he’d first moved in with Wayne. Now was no exception.
But he was also torn because he was dating a true life Disney princess and he couldn’t help but see the situation as unnecessarily adorable even despite his heart pounding in his chest. He enjoyed the view for another moment before the squirrel jumped off of Steve’s lap and took a tiny step towards him. 
Then, all bets were off. Eddie screamed shrilly in terrified horror and threw the glorious sandwich at the rabid beast. It barely even paused its stride and skittered ever closer.  
“Steve! It’s after me, ahhhhh!” He shrieked. Eddie stumbled to his feet and took off running down the trail they’d used to get to that spot. He kept running, wheezing and all, until he reached the Beemer. He put his hands on his knees and panted as he regained his breath. Eddie hadn’t had such a close encounter with death since the Upside Down a few months ago. It’s a wonder he could even outrun the bats then because his lungs right now felt like they could explode. He had to stop smoking so much, Jesus Christ. 
He recognized that Steve wasn’t beside him but he was only slightly worried. He saw him rip a demobat in half before so he would be fine… probably. 
Just a few minutes later, he heard a throat clear above him. He looked up to find Steve wearing the most unimpressed look he’s ever seen from him. “What the hell, Eddie?! It was a squirrel!”
“I have a deathly squirrel of fears! Fuck- no, I mean I have a deathly fear of squirrels! I feel like I’ve mentioned it before.”
“You definitely have not! I would’ve remembered that, for sure.” Steve accentuated his words with jerks of his head full of judgment. 
Deciding to be a little shit for the afternoon, Eddie decided to mess with him. “Stevie, I am positive that I told you. We had a whole conversation about it, you were very understanding.”
“Oh, no, no!” Steve pointed an accusing finger at him. “Do not turn this around on me! Robin told you not to use my head trauma to your advantage, you manipulative bastard. I will call her!”
“Okay, okay, Big Boy, calm down. Jesus Christ, I’m just messing around. Please don’t sic your lesbian guard dog on me!” Eddie pleaded with him, laughter in his chest. 
“My god Munson, get in the car.”
“This stays between us though, right? Because Buckley threatened to shave my eyebrows off the next time I did that and I’m pretty sure you’re a fan of my eyebrows. They really bring my face together,” Eddie asked him over the hood of the car.
“Fine but you owe me,” Steve said humorously pointing a finger at him. 
“Oh Stevie, don’t you know already that everything of mine is already yours?” 
Steve’s face flushed red and he grumbled once more before ducking into his car. Eddie wouldn’t let him hide that adorable little blush though and he climbed in right after him. He grabbed his free hand in his and brought it up to his lips for a kiss, pulling out all of the romantic movies he could before Steve could make a move of his own. He loved this guy and if an outdoor excursion, squirrel attacks, and threats from Robin Buckley were conditions to keep him happy, Eddie would handle them in stride.
Steve drove them back to the Munson trailer where they smoked a little, cuddled, and watched Ferris Bueller's Day Off. It was one of the best days of Eddie's life and by far the best date he'd ever been on. With an ending like this, it wasn’t such a bad date after all.

A Player's Aid: Chapter 11
Fandom: Legend of Zelda, Linked Universe
A/N:....I'm just sorry OUYDBUDHD but also my tag list got lost, if you could please say if you'd like to be tagged in the comments! (I know I can look at previous chapters but I lost some new names and it would be easier to build from scratch so I have it HDOCDHJ)
Warnings: Foul language, descriptions of gore, violence and mentions of injuries
Enjoy!
The effect was immediate. 
The sound of many boots against concrete was deafening and your vision blurred as Hyrule tugged you along, his grip still tight as you stumbled after the men in the direction of the castle. 
The Hero's instinct is what you deduced, it’s what powered these boys. To jump so readily into action, unafraid of what was to come- these men had a mission to protect the people of Hyrule and you admired everything they did for them. Not even Wind flinched at the scream, didn't hesitate like the others as they raced away from the Sacred Ground, you tumbling along almost unable to keep up with Hyrule's speed (Jesus christ these fuckers were fast-) 
You finally broke through the treeline to see the scene before you- horrid and bone-chilling as it played out. 
A lone adventurer had seemed to be downed, blood running down a deep gash on their arm in rivers as they tried desperately to claw away from the behemoth of a creature, hissing and spitting towards them as it stalked closer, the giant skull on its back just as intimidating as its many eyes and snapping fangs. 
Skulltula were always intimidating enemies in theory. Spiders were already scary, making them the size of a horse with a withering skull on their back, legs similar to knives and pincers dripping with what you could only guess to be venom only made them even more terrifying- you didn’t want to shame the Zelda graphics, but there was no way, from the deepest and darkest depths of hell they could even begin to bring justice to the creature that stood before you all.
"Not a fucking Skulltula…" You whispered in a blood-freezing horror, ducking behind Hyrule when it turned towards your group, seemingly hearing your words. "Christ on the cross, set it alight." 
With another hiss, it dashed in your direction, your whole body locking up only for it to cry out in pain as an arrow landed right in one of its many eyes, the group dashing forward with Hyrule removing something from his pocket and pressing it into your hands: a dagger. 
"Stay here." He held your cheek softly. "I'll be right back." 
He turned towards Wild, situated in front. 
"I've got them." The blonde reassured, sending him a knowing look. "Don't worry." 
With a firm nod, Hyrule ran to the group sword at the ready with a pat on Wild’s shoulder, your eyes wide in awe as you watched him hurl a phantom red projection of his sword right at the gigantic monster, its shrill calls making you cringe.
As its wails pierced the air, you could vaguely see Sky raise the Master Sword with a calculating look on his face, an almost holy light climbing up the length of the sharpened blade until a familiar sound reached your ears and the hero slashed across the air, the sight of a skyward strike cutting through the lengths of grass and slicing one of its many legs clean off its body, the appendage flailing before disintegrating into dust as the monstrous bug got even louder.
Sickening to see this close.
"Stay behind me." It was a soft order but you weren't about to defy him, slightly ducking behind him as he continued to aim at the Skulltula, the men fighting valiantly. "I promise to keep you safe."
You dug your fingers gently into his tunic. "I know you will, no need for promises."
His ears fluttered subtly at the words.
Watching the guys fight up close was much better than watching from afar, you could have only imagined just how amazing the fight from the riverside bokoblin must have been- breathtaking would have been too small a word to use, there wasn't any word the dictionary that could begin to perfectly describe how the boys fought. Calling it a movie scene would have been underrated, no, it was an art piece even with something as pathetic as a Skulltula, these men looked as if they had just been plucked from the Renaissance itself and you almost went breathless as you continued to bear spectacle to the scene.
Their footwork, their swings, the looks on their faces- they were heroes alright, not a doubt in your mind would refute that. Wild's steeled gaze and the way he handled the bow were just so amazing to you, he was a professional of course but there was an energy about him, not the goofy wild man but the hero that bore the Triforce of Courage.
You were in the presence of some of the strongest men in the current world…
Twilight and Warriors had rushed over to the fallen victim while the others had continued with the battle, arm over each shoulder as they had hauled them further away with reassurances of safety, appearing close to your side as they fished into their bags for a potion to deal with their wounds. The gash on their arm was horrible but the apparent one on their side was worse, bleeding profusely and long, your stomach churning at the mere thought while Warriors called for their attention, deeming this “no place to die.”
…You weren’t about to see someone die, were you?
The idea sickened you to the core.
A cry echoed out as Hyrule used a nearby boulder to leap onto the back of the great beast, the shrill shrieks of the horse-sized spider bloodcurdling as the Hero raised his bejewelled sword and thrust it into its head, tainted blood gushing onto the grass below leaving a bloody mess.
Your heartbeat pounded in your own ears as the monster screamed.
A horrid sound, disgusting and gut-wrenching, you felt even more nauseous as you were able to hear the faint sound of a popping squelch as your hero dug the sword deeper and deeper, blood spurting onto his forest green tunic and catching some of the other boys also. 
From your vantage point on that cliff, the destruction of these creatures wasn't something that had gotten to you but seeing this was way worse than your own imagination, no matter how majestic the men looked as they fought, this was still disturbing when the valiant filter was pushed aside. This wasn’t the pg-rated game any more, the one you would play for hours when you were younger, not a care in the world as you gathered the convenient drops- this was real life, these were real living things-
And this was real gore.
You gagged, hiding your face into Wild’s shoulder to force away the morbid curiosity as the other heroes continued to beat down the monster, its shrills engraining into your mind as one of the boys dealt the finishing blow.
(It had been Legend, watching Hyrule flail about as the Skulltula tried to rid him of its back, the man sliding down beneath the monster while digging his weapon into its stomach as he skidded against the grass, opening a mortal wound that had entrails spilling from its underbelly)
The familiar sound of a monster’s corpse poofing away was what brought you back, shyly peaking over Wild’s shoulder as you watched Legend stand, the stains of his tunic a gruesome eyesore that dusted away in the wind along with the smoke of dark magic that was once the Skulltula, Hyrule’s own caked clothes cleaning in a similar fashion until both were free of the thick, murky substance that was monster blood and huffing from the fight. The two looked at one another, conflicting feelings dancing on their faces until they nodded at one another, a sign of acknowledgement in their tense times.
You felt embarrassed at the shaky sigh you released, Wild looking back at you worriedly as you took a step back to compose yourself.
Why were you even scared? It’s not like you contributed to the fight in any way.
“Are you well?”
“Y-Yeah- yeah I’m good.”
His brows furrowed, his hand coming to hold yours. “You can talk to me.”
Your thumb gently danced over his knuckles. “It’s just…scary seeing them up so close.”
Cringing at his soft expression, your free hand moved to rub at the back of your neck. 
“Monsters are a disturbing sight to many, you don’t need to be embarrassed for your reaction.” 
“I know I just don’t like being some sort of damsel- I can’t fight but I’ve got enough sense to know how to protect myself and it just feels ridiculous and sad hiding behind you like some scared kid.”
It wasn’t a fault of yours, of course, especially in the presence of such skilled fighters it made sense but you couldn’t help it- you felt inferior, you felt weak, you hated having to hide behind your friend and you wished that you could at least stand beside him, a partner more of a cowering fool.
Wild hesitated, his mouth pursing in thought when both your attention drew to coughing close by, the presumed random traveller spluttering as the ranch hand and Captain pulled them into a seated position, the group circling her.
“Are you alright?” Twilight asked, a supporting hand on the person’s back. “Are you able to speak?”
“Yes.” The young woman coughed, covering her mouth with her arm, “Yes, thank you, I thought those moments would be my last.”
A shiver run down your back at the thought of something as hideous as a Skulltula being the last thing you saw before your body grew cold and stiff- would it eat you in that state? Could Skulltulas even eat?
“Do you know of what became of the people here?” Straight to the chase, Time leaned down to the level of the woman, face gentle similar to your shared first interaction, a show of support from such a traumatizing moment. “It was filled with many but now it lays barren.”
Her face curled in confusion. “You mean…you’re not here to help us?”
Your stomach dropped.
Help with what?
She continued. “The head of the people sent a bird not two days ago- we were attacked, by these things-”
“The Skulltula?” 
“Yes- they came in every direction, there were so many, we couldn’t run so we held up in the castle-” Warriors rested his hand gently against their shoulder, a soft mutter of ‘breathe’ leaving his mouth as the person panted, her shaky breaths slowing in an effort to calm her racing heart. “There was an opening and I took it when no one had responded then I got caught by that monster- I- I thought you were responding to our call-”
Time’s face had hardened with each word, his scowl like his sharpened sword. His anger was evident, the lingering tension in his shoulders shown even under that heavy chest plate; you knew why, everyone did, it was very much obvious this was the work of the Shadow, predictable and vile, coming for the public like the coward he was to draw out the many heroes for his own gain and entertainment.
This was a trap.
And a very obvious trap.
And he dragged innocent civilians into this mess.
“Can you stand?”
The woman stumbled over herself before nodding, pushing to her full height with the help of the other elders.
“Good- leave to the nearest Inn, we will clear the castle.” 
Your mouth dropped at the words, looking towards the towering Hyrule Castle in horror.
The whole thing!?
“T-The entire castle?! But that’s not possible!”
Not possible for most, but then again these were the Links you were talking about, heroes of the times- if they had fought against Ganon, Demon King and bringer of Darkness, of course, they could fight off a few Skulltula.
A few dozen sounded a bit of a stretch though.
“We’ll be fine.” There was a cocksure attitude to Warrior’s words, his smile confident and eyes sparkling with his fighting pride. “A few giant insects won’t be getting the best of us.”
Oh yes, he did sound very cocky indeed- you wondered if the woman was judging him silently from his tone, god knows you would have had you not known he was a great hero.
She tried to argue more, stumbling over her words and trying to reason however it reached deaf ears her stance slowly falling as the group began to discuss their next plans- Wild was the focal point of this, after all this was his home and he knew it like the back of his hand, planning a rescue mission was going to fall to him. 
You studied her for a moment now that you could- pale skin, black hair and dark eyes, just a regular-looking adventurer who seemed to be caught on the wrong side of things.
Something felt…off though. Maybe it was just your skewered sense, or your simple wary nature after being thrown through a magic portal by a magic shadow.
It felt like one of those scenes in movies: discovering the wounded adventurer, aiding them in their time of need and watching as the hero lets them accompany them on their quest, after all, it’s not a hindrance right? Betrayal would usually follow, disguised by that weak damsel now shown to be their deceitful enemy this whole time, tearing apart the group by the seams and leaving them all to rot with nothing but a prideful cackle.
Yet, that was the work of fiction, this was real life (such a strange thought now that you pondered it) and so nothing like that would happen, right?
“Please, let me at least join you!”
…right?
Your eyes narrowed, watching the expression on her face then shifted to study the rest of the men, sharing uncertain glances with each other.
Did they feel a similar unease or did they simply want to keep this woman safe?
“I don’t think that’s for the best-”
“My family is in there! My friends too! I’m not just gonna sit by while they’re suffering!”
Any persuasion was met with refusal, the woman becoming only angrier with every second until Time let out a sigh, steeling his gaze as he looked down at the woman.
“Your name?”
She stood taller, “Maggie.”
“Do you even know how to handle a weapon that hangs off your hip?” This was a test, you could tell, the complete shift in his personality was a warning of sorts for what was to come- you would reasonably back down from such a hard look and you were positive that was what Time was trying to do. “Fought any monsters? Been in any battles?”
It didn’t work, as shown when Maggie glared right back. “I’m fully capable of taking care of myself.”
“Seems you can’t.” Legend quipped and Time sent him a scolding look, the pink-streaked blonde throwing his hands with a look of surrender. “I’m just saying we saved you.”
She flushed a deep red “I was by myself but if I’m with you guys I should have a chance- strength in numbers.”
Your eyes stayed trained on Time as he listened intently, the others sharing different glances with one another as they waited for their chosen leader to finalise his decision, your shoulders dropping when he sighed in defeat, dragging a hand down his tired face.
“....Maggie, I will be responsible for you if you venture back into this castle with us- so, you must stay close and not stray far, no matter what you see, is that understood?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Good, we move now.”
“Old-” Twilight’s mouth snapped shut, eyes averting from the flaming ones of the eldest. “...”
With a sigh, the man backed off, whistling for Epona who perked up happily, trotting back over to the forest. "I'm not taking her in there."
And you couldn't blame him, not with the threat of something like Skulltulas lurking around the castle halls, Epona could be jumped without a second thought- but leaving her alone wasn't an option, someone had to watch her just in case, right? So taking Gilda gently from your hair, you gestured her over.
"It'll be safer for you with her."
She crossed her arms. "(Name), I've been in more fights than you."
"...Gilda please-"
"I'm just teasing! I'll keep an eye on her, you've already got your fairy by your side~"
Had Hyrule been in hearing range you knew he would have swiped at her, so you spared her a chuckle and watched her whizz off after the ranch hand with a shake of the head.
"Should have guessed these fairies were just as cheeky as the fae."
Time glanced back over to Maggie, gesturing her forward once Twilight had returned, adorned with weapon and shield. “I want you to lead us, if you were able to escape then there may be a good chance that it was a blindspot to the monsters.”
You didn’t trust this, not a single bit. Your radar was going haywire, your body pumping the adrenaline into every little crevice within your body, hands shaking as you watched Maggie take the lead, the others slowly but surely following behind her until you were trailing right at the back with your fingers tightly secured around the dagger Hyrule had only given you moments ago.
The traveller had rejoined your side in haste, eyes ahead as his hand came to grab your own protectively, Wild marching on your opposite with a similar protective sense hanging over him.
“He’s got a plan…”
Hyrule muttered more to himself than anyone but Wild wasn’t far behind with his scepticism.
“A dangerous one- thought that was supposed to be my job?” The comedic tilt in his voice did not aid you at all, Wild’s face pinching in worry at your expression. “We’ll keep you safe, I promise.”
You knew they would, they were your heroes and you knew they would do anything to keep you safe.
Yet something told you that it wasn’t going to be that simple.
~~~~~~~~~~
You wouldn’t say you suffered from arachnophobia. Sure, you weren’t a fan of the things, but not in a way to say you had a fear of them. They were certainly freaky looking, eight eyes, eight legs, could produce cobwebs and drunk the blood of flies and other such small insects- but a true fear of them was not what you had, nowhere near. You had seen someone with the phobia, their dropping jaws and the way they raced to the opposite side of the room-
To avoid the tiny money spider that hadn’t even gotten close to them.
That was true fear- that fear would have had them dying right on the spot at the sight before you at this very moment.
The webbing was huge, like sheer curtains decorating the old stone walls of the castle, the few egg sacs a disgusting sight as the men cleared them out, the many Walltula shrieking and spitting fiercely only to die by the steel of the heroes’ blades, monster smoke almost thick enough to choke on.
It was terrifying how quickly the monsters had seemingly taken over, not a place in sight was free of the streams of natural mesh, over the carpets, over the paintings, over the windows and in the doorways- suffocating was the best way to describe it all, especially from the number of times you had walked into the cobwebs, spitting and waving your arms in a horrid frantic boogie to be rid of the texture.
Wind could only laugh so many times.
“Shut the fuck up, Wind.” You had whispered harshly, patting down your tunic once again. “You’re only laughing because you’re too fucking short to get hit by them.”
He waved off your insult with another hushed laugh. “You just look so fucking stupid when you do that.”
You flipped him off, pushing your finger into his face harshly and jerking back when he tried to nip at the skin, calling him another colourful nickname in which he elbowed you painfully in the side.
Fucking hell he was strong for a fourteen-year-old.
"Just around this corner here." Maggie's voice brought you back in, focusing on her head between the many others. 
The feeling still hadn’t gone away, not with you and certainly not with the others- you all knew you were walking right into a trap. The signs were evident to them all, a reason as to why Wind had been sent to the back with you three.
“The old man says as soon as anything sketchy happens he wants us to split!”
“Isn’t that dangerous? What if you guys get hurt?”
“Have some faith, (Name), we’re stronger than you make us out to be!”
You knew that- of course you did! Yet the threat still lay bare to the world. Skulltula were probably surrounding you at that very moment and it was clear that you could all be ambushed at any time, the further you walked into the castle, the deeper and darker it got only certainty grew in your brain that the upcoming fight would be inevitable if you were caught in a small corner.
That had to have crossed the old man’s mind, right? Under the blonde head of hair was a smart man, a calculating one so Time must have had a counteractive plan just up his armoured sleeve. He’d get everyone out of here, maybe with a few bumps and bruises, but you’d all come out of this ordeal alive and well with only a little major life-changing trauma- nothing you hadn’t gone through already.
The thought didn’t help though, not really without some partnering action, the weight on your shoulders only growing with each step you took, each room you passed, each corridor you turned into-
…You recognised this corridor.
Rebuilt and better than ever, with the help of the construction team and two years of passing, the winding path that lead to the Dining Hall was almost unrecognisable, the one you had trekked so many times when scouring the castle as you played. You wanted secrets, you wanted weapons and you wanted Korok seeds, if it meant having to lap the entire behemoth 100 times to get what you wanted you were ready to do it, you had practically memorised the route in game but it seemed the rebuilding of Hyrule Castle alongside the millions of cobwebs and the fact you were currently walking through its corridors had gotten in the way of your near photogenic memory of the place.
The archway to the armoury lay only a few feet ahead, along with the following path towards the library-
“The library’s this way, there should be some patrolling but we can easily get through them if we work together.”
The library….
There was a resounding click in your mind, footsteps stopping before they could meet the stone of the walkway, the dawn finally breaking in your mind.
It didn’t make sense- it didn’t make sense.
These hallways were always full, they were the main paths, why would she go through here when they were clearly the most dangerous routes?
Why did she take this way when she could have gone through-
“The secret passage.”
Pause.
You were staring, waiting, watching for that reaction.
And here it had finally come.
Time had been looking for an opportunity, and that had to be it, a broken piece within the glass that was her facade, once pristine and perfect, now so obviously cracked as Maggie finally paused just a few feet ahead of you all, the Chain having stopped when noticing your further figure.
You had given them all they needed.
“Pardon?”
It was cryptic in a way, horror and thriller running down your spine as your body shook with the adrenaline now running its course through your body as you readied yourself for what was bound to come.
“The secret passage, behind the bookcase.” There wasn’t a way they didn’t know about it, Wild had left it open for fuck’s sake, they had been rebuilding, it had to be common knowledge that Hyrule Castle had a secret passage. “In the library, why didn’t you just go through there?”
“I didn’t know there was one.”
Wild looked at you.
You looked at him.
He shook his head.
Liar- as expected.
“I really fucking doubt that.” The Chain had backed up to you quickly, quietly, aware that one false move would have broken the hypnotic spell your words had cast over them all. You licked your dry lips in an effort to stop the dryness from taking over your mouth. “How could you, as part of the restoration, not know about the secret passage in the library?”
“I’m not part of the team.”
Your voice was shaking. “S-So you just stayed ignorant about the place you were inhabiting for the past year or two? Not a single soul bothered to tell you about the cool secret passage in the library?”
“No.”
You grasped Wild’s hand frantically, terrified tears in your eyes.
“You’re a really bad fucking liar, Maggie.”
You could hear the grin in her voice. “I know.”
Weapons were pulled from sheaths, battle faces pulled sharp as you were quickly yanked once again behind them all, their stances deadly as they waited for something, anything that Maggie- whoever this was was about to bring down on you all.
“Are you with the Shadow?” Time called, a sneer on his face. “Or did you just crawl out from one of its portals like the rest of them?”
She laughed, still refusing to turn around as she did, her voice bouncing off the stones and echoing throughout the area- almost masking the rumbling footsteps that were quickly making their way to your direction, a quick glance back the way you had came showing a Skulltula quickly making its way towards you all- no, many were heading over and a quick glance in the opposite direction showed the same. 
Fuck you were being cornered.
"Link." 
One look and the circle drew tighter.
You were in real danger this time, weren’t you?
“I was just passing through,” Maggie’s voice was quick to change, sinister and cold, curling into this scratchy forced sound as if talking itself was a struggle. "Though I will say that Shadow of yours had an offer too tempting, so I thought why not?"
"And what offer did he give you?"
There was a snap, crack and following pop as Maggie finally turned, your stomach dropping at the body horror of her face expanding to form a snout, skin tearing away to reveal the blue fur beneath and murky gold tint taking over her face.
"The death of the Hero of Courage, of course."
Poof!
The cloud of magic saved you from the horrific scene of the monster’s full transfiguration, dark purple blocking your vision before the sound of flapping wings caught your attention, eyes widening in surprise as you watched the view return to you and replaced what was once Maggie, was a blue bat-like creature also similar to a keese.
"Ache?" You muttered in confusion, backing into Hyrule warily and feeling the man tense beneath you.
Not a common monster, not at all, the eyes of Ganon that hailed all the way from the traveller's timeline- they weren't impossibly hard to beat, well, depending on the Ache of course, a single hit usually was enough to have them out. But that's not what they were for, they weren't exactly fighting monsters, Ache's were pretty much spies for the other foul, grotesque beings, the ones watching for your hero closely so they could snatch him up and use him as a sacrifice for their master: Ganon.
The Ache was here for Hyrule, you knew that and so did Hyrule, so without another thought, you sidestepped to keep him out of its view.
It's the least you could have done.
Even if it was useless in this moment of time.
"I'm not really one for fighting." The creature cackled, hovering a little further away. "So I'll just let them deal with you- no need to worry though, I'll be back soon."
It swooped away into the armoury, just as another group of Skulltula came rounding the arch, their hisses and squeals like nails against a chalkboard.
Shields were up at the ready, swords poised and you, little old you, were in the middle with your dagger at the ready as if you knew the first thing about fighting.
"There's more than anticipated."
"Can we take this many black-blooded?"
"Who's to say they are black-blooded?"
"You think the Shadow wouldn't do that?"
"Enough- stand at the ready, do not break this circle."
The feeling had come back, but then again it hadn't gone away either, crawling up your back, poison seeping into your skin as you glanced around frantically for the feeling.
Something was watching you.
Not the heroes.
You.
Just, you.
And you knew that, because it was the exact same pair of eyes that had stared at you from atop that cliff the other day, menacing, cold and cruel, every dark intention you could think of rolling through your mind space. It wasn't the Chuchu back then, their googly eyes were never that evil, they could elicit a body-numbing reaction, but they could have never brought this kind of primal fear that laid deep into your stomach- not like that night after work had.
Dink was looking straight at you.
But from where? You couldn't see him through the bodies of monsters that the boys were fending off, nor in the Dining Hall, in the shadows of the dark corridor, hell, even the damn ceiling didn't have those red piercing eyes of his.
So where-
Fingers grasped your ankle firmly, nails practically piercing through the fabric and digging into the skin as a deep, breathy chuckle caught your ear through all the noise.
"Got you~"
You didn't have time to scream as you were dragged straight through the portal beneath your feet, catching a glimpse of the others turning in surprise, the feeling of a hand trying to grab yours, a possible scream- before your whole body had disappeared into the absolute black.
It took mere seconds to re-emerge from the inky abyss, spluttering and coughing for stolen breath where your body met the floor violently, cheek meeting the scratchy carpet beneath that tore at your poor, victim skin as you were dragged across the floor, a weird sound echoing through the room before you could take a small glance to see the portal vanish into nothing, leaving a stone wall in its place.
You looked at the area solemnly, wishing it would just open back up to you so you could jump back towards the boys, gut-churning with a violently sick feeling at the thought of looking back.
To make the situation real.
"Awh, are you scared, little guide?"
Yes.
Yes, you were.

Tumblr media
Contrary to popular belief, Billy is an amazing boyfriend 
Once you get past the asshole persona
And the rampant partying and hypersexuality to suppress his pain 
And the god complex as a defense mechanism
And the deep belief that he’s not good enough for you
All of which you get through very quickly
He’s an incredible boyfriend
It’s so weird for him, because he keeps showing you everything that usually scares people off
Like anyone else would run long before now 
And you’re just like “cool are you doing okay emotionally btw”
He is not
He’s never been with the same person for long at all
Like no more than a couple days
Usually because he wants to leave them before they leave him
Because he has bpd
Because he can’t imagine someone seeing him
Or even beginning to get to know him
And not leaving
You’re the first person he’s cried around in
He can’t even remember how long 
You touch him so gently
Like so gently it makes him want to cry 
You can see everything he’s going through, all the pain, really fucking clearly
And you don’t look at him with anything other than love and acceptance and compassion
He’s never found anyone he feels like he can talk to about all this shit
But you get it
And the weirdest part is you always know just what to say to help him
Even if it’s just “feel whatever you’re feeling right now until it burns out a little” or “I understand, I’m here for you”
You have become such a grounding comforting presence in his life
He can physically feel how much you believe in him
He has no idea what good you can possibly see in him, but he knows you see it
And he wants you to
He wants someone to believe in him, wants to get better
And you do
You believe in him so much
And now when he flirts with you
When he bites your neck and gives you those looks and sticks his hand in your back pocket to hear the flustered little laugh you let out
It’s because he likes seeing you smile
He likes having your attention, making sure you know how he feels about you
He’s not just flirting for the thrill of the kill now, and it’s a completely new feeling 
Everything is so refreshing with you
You have this knack for helping him bring out his personality and curb his symptoms, even when there’s overlap
He has no idea how you do it
Or why you stay with him
But he does not want to look this gift horse in the mouth so he’s stopped questioning it
Instead everytime you rub your hand on his back or press a kiss to his forehead he’s just overwhelmed with a terrified gratitude that you’re still here 
Everyone else can see the good influence you have on him too
When anyone asks you how you’re doing it, you tell them the truth
“He’s been like this the whole time, he just didn’t feel safe enough to show it.” 
Susan is still trying to hold everything together, still trying to get her ducks back in a row
It’s a lot easier with Joyce as her fellow single mom friend 
And Hopper there for protection (and moral support) 
And knowing she doesn’t have to worry about Billy as much makes it a lot easier
And Max????
Max???????????
Jesus fucking christ, Max LOVES you
At first she thought you were another fling
Then she saw you were sticking around, weren’t intimidated by the facade her brother puts up
Then she sees you having a good influence on him??????
Once she knows you’re sticking around she latches on SO quick
She thinks you are the coolest person to ever walk the planet
She wants to be just like you when she’s older
If you’re not a redhead she even wants to dye her hair to look more like you 
If you’re femme at all she thinks of you as a cool older sister figure so fast
You show her (and El too ofc) how to do hair and makeup, talk to them about boys, give them fashion advice
Billy sees you helping her curl the back of her hair once, giving her advice about a fight she had with Lucas
“Just try to be patient and communicate with him. Boys may be boys but they’re still people, you know? If you think about how you feel and know what your goal is going into the conversation I’m sure you can talk it out without fighting.” 
She nods, and he can see she’s really taking in your advice
Max figures if that can even work with Billy, it must work on anyone
So now Lucas loves you by proxy too
You and Lucas sometimes bond over dating the Hargrove-Mayfield siblings 
“They can turn anything into a competition!”
“I know! It’s kind of adorable, though.” 
“Yeah…” 
Another thing that means a lot to you
And Max
Is when Billy can feel himself getting pissed off
He has you drive his car
You still blast metallica and kiss, which helps him feel better
But you stick to the speed limit
Which Max greatly appreciates
After you drop her off at Mike’s or the arcade or wherever they’re hanging, you and Billy will just drive around for a while, his hand on your thigh
Eventually he’ll start talking 
Then once he feels a little better, you’ll keep talking
And just drive around like that for a while
He has no idea what magic you work
How you can always turn around shitty days or moods or incidents 
But he doesn’t care
All he knows is he will do whatever it takes not to lose you
And you make sure he knows you’re not going anywhere

*Edited to add plain text at bottom.*
I want to imagine for a moment what was going through Nick and Charlie's heads when they share their first kiss. The build up had to be incredible. The tension caused by their attraction a palpable and electric thing.
Charlie's inner thoughts.
Nick's inner thoughts.
Charlie, feeling hopelessly lost and all in his feelings for Nick, thinking, I can do this. I can be his supportive friend. I mean, he's my best friend. This is what best friends do right? They talk about their crushes and support each other. It's fine if he doesn't have a clue what he does to me. I can't tell him or he won't be so casual about his touches…maybe that would be a good thing? No, no, I'm not ready to give up Nick hugs or the way he grabs my hands sometimes. No. Charlie, keep your feelings to yourself. Deep breath, be his friend.
Meanwhile, Nick is sitting next to him in full panic mode.
Come on, Nick. You can do this. Just look at him and say, Hey Charlie, guess what? I think I might like boys too or at least one boy. God that's awful! I can't say that. Plus it's not the same, is it?. I don't like all boys like this, just one very particular boy. Right? God, he's so close to me I can smell his shampoo. It would be totally weird if I just sniffed him wouldn't it?
And then Charlie asks, "Was Harry being serious? Do you have a crush on Tara?"
Nick, scrambling mentally, What is he even talking about! How could he think…
"No! No. Definitely not!" That was too aggressive wasn't it!?! Too strong of a response. Oh God! Look at him looking at me. How could I not want to kiss him? Oh…kiss him. Do I want to kiss him? Complete and total yes. I might burst into flames if I don't.
Charlie glances away, feeling shy from the strength of Nick's no and the intensity his gaze. You're his friend, he is straight. He's always intense, so fucking sincere it hurts to look at him sometimes. Jesus Charlie. Get a grip. Does he know what that look is doing to me? Does he know how soft and huggable he looks right now? Does he know…
Charlie: "So… you don't have a crush on anyone at the moment?" Am I a glutton for punishment!? Apparently I need to hear Nick Nelson tell me in person that he's straight. I am pathetic.
If only he knew! "Well…I didn't say that." Was that too obvious! God! I should have Googled…how to tell your best mate that you are attracted to him…he gets it now, right? He's going to ask and I'm going to tell him and…
Fuck. It's got to be that Imogen girl then, right? Or it could be some other supremely gorgeous girl. My chest aches. Suck it up, Charlie, you knew this would happen. This is what comes of falling for a straight boy who also happens to be the best friend ever. Fuck! Don't cry!?! I am such an idiot! "Oh…um…What's she like then?"
He! What's he like?!? He's well, he's you Charlie. I'm going to just tell him. "You're just going to assume they're a she?" Hah! It's you, Charlie! You're amazing Charlie! Oh no. He looks shocked. I'm a bit shocked myself! Oh God! What if he doesn't feel like that towards me! What if he just wants us to be friends! If I keep looking at him, he's going to know, but I can't look away. He's just so incredibly beautiful. So soft and lovely and brave and amazing.
*Gay Panic* WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK DID HE JUST SAY!?! What did he just say!?! Did he just imply that his crush might not be a girl! I have to know. I have to ask! "Are they...are they not a girl?" Gaghshjdiej!!! No…Don't look away! Just tell me Nick! Don't you see what you're doing to me!?!
Stop staring at his lips. Focus! Say it! It's you, Charlie. It's you. You. Just say something! *Gay panic* "Um…" Fuck!
No, wait. I can do this! I can say it! I can't. I'm a fucking coward. Come on, Nick! If you want something you have to fight for it! Do we want this?
Yes, we abso-fucking-lutely-do!
I think I made him nervous….Christ Charlie! Coming out is terrifying. Of course he's nervous! Don't make it worse! Ask an easier question. Put your feelings on hold and reassure him! Calmly now, "Would you go out with someone who wasn't a girl?" Brilliant you twat! Because that's an easier question!
Look at him and say yes, you! Do it! (Turns to look at Charlie. Panics Forgets how to breathe.) "I don't know…" Take a breath you moron. Another one. Now tell him. Yes, if it's you, Charlie. I'd go out with a boy if it's you. I think. "Maybe...?"
Way to go, Nelson! You're a fucking idiot. Just use your words, mate! Shit! He looks…sad?…Distraught? He's looking away. Fuck! I blew it. This isn't fucking hard Nick! Right!?! I'm only trying to tell my best friend that I think I'm half in love with him!
That was an intense look wasn't it? I'm not imagining things. He was looking at me with…need? Maybe he's still unsure of his sexuality. Let's push the boundaries a bit. (Shifts closer. ) Deep breath, I'm shaking. I can do this, you can do this Charlie. (Lays hand near Nick's.) I can feel the heat of his hand it's so near mine. I can feel his heat and hear his erratic breathing. He's so close. (Closes his eyes.) God, I want to kiss him. Please…Let this work. "Would you kiss someone who wasn't a girl?"
Uhh! His voice! How can it be hoarse and soft at the same time!?! I have freaking goosbumps. Goosebumps! Only Charlie tangles me up like this. Would I kiss someone else who wasn't a girl? "I don't know."
Crap! That's not what I meant. I meant..No! Because it's you! It's all you! Ask me if I like you! Ask me if it's you. Ask me if you're what's different and special. Can't you see it in my eyes!
Be brave Charlie. Just give him a little nudge. See how reacts to the contact.
Can't you tell that it's you!?! I'm going tell him….(Charlie touches his pinkie to Nick's and Nick's brain short circuts. His breath hitches and his heart swan dives right off the deep end. His stomach clenched with equal parts nervous butterflies and excitement like he's never known.) Charlie's initiating contact! He never touches me first! Holy…fuck.
He's not pulling away…that's good, right? Oh. My. That's quite the look. Nick… Do you know what that look does to my heart? Does he have any idea…I have to know if he means what I think that look is saying.
Jesus, looking at Charlie is like looking at the world. The whole great big, beautiful, crazy world is right there in his beautiful eyes.
Here we go. It's now or never. The next moment will change everything. Be brave Charlie. I can do this. "Would you kiss me?" Oh no…Don't look away. He looked away. (Turning his head to stare at their pinkies, which are still touching.) I'm an idiot. Of course the answer is nnn…Is that him? Is that no…is he…did his pinkie,…is he touching me more…Oh My God! He is! (Charlie's brain short circuts.)
Those sparks. It's like there are sparks under my skin. Every part of me lighting up. I'm one giant fuse to a firework of feelings and life that only came awake because of this beautiful boy. Looking at him, being with him, touching him…it's like I'm breathing for the first time. It's like finally being alive. He is so beautiful. Evey. Single. Piece. Of. Him. Would I kiss him? Yes. Yes, I would. "Yeah." Really articulate Nelson! But honestly, I'm so overwhelmed with all that I feel, right now, this moment, for him, I'm lucky I could talk at all and not just nod like an idiot. We srere going to kiss now aren't we…we have to…I don't think I can keep breathing unless I know if his lips are really as soft as they look. Does he takes as good as he smells? Do I lean in? Am I supposed to initiate? I've only kissed one other person and I was 13! (His frantic brain quiets with one thought.) Charlie! Charlie will take care of it. I just have to trust Charlie. And I do, I trust him. And I need him to kiss me, just him. Just you, Charlie.
He. Fucking. Said. YES!! Slowly Charlie. Be cool. Don't freak out! This is his first kiss, with a boy. This is OUR fucking first kiss! And he's scared, but maybe excited too, I think…
I'll just, move slowly. Give him time to change his mind. Please don't change your mind! I think I might die if I don't get to kiss you. I need to kiss you, like I need air, like I need food or water. I need you. Just you, Nick.
And then, they kiss.
And it's everything!
And not enough. Not nearly enough.
So they kiss again.
❤Let me know if you want more.❤
@jason-pd you asked, so I wanted to make sure you saw it. I hope you like it.
I want to imagine for a moment what was going through Nick and Charlie's heads when they share their first kiss. The build up had to be incredible. The tension caused by their attraction, a palpable and electric thing.

So they kiss again.

Body Horror Beatdown, Match 17, Round 1
Vote for your favorite:
Tumblr media
Propaganda under the cut.
Mad God:
A journey beyond your wildest nightmares.
"Mad God is THEE body horror movie in my mind. Stop motion animation and heavily stylized live action combine to create a disgusting fetid mass of living things that fester in cruelty and industrial squalor. Everywhere you look something is alive and wet and moving in ways it shouldn't. It's a deeply disturbing film that wormed its way into my heart with its beautifully fucked up visuals and lack of consideration for mass appeal."
The Thing:
Man is the warmest place to hide.
jesus christ i have so much propaganda for this. it's my (the poll runner's) favorite in the bracket btw <3
"IT'S AMONG US, BUT WITH COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF GORE DONE THROUGH PRACTICAL EFFECTS. WHAT MORE COULD YOU WANT?"
"ROB BOTTIN’S EFFECTS ARE THE BEST IN ANY FILM I HAVE EVER SEEN, AND I WATCH A LOT OF HORROR FILMS WITH A LOT OF EFX AND I GOTTA SAY HE DID A FANTASTIC JOB (HE WAS 22 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME OF DOING THE PRACTICAL FX FOR THIS FILM) Also it has Kurt Russell in it what more could you want"
"It's the best most special thing with all the fancy abilities"
"Awesome practical effects that still hold up, wet and slimey beasts, Kurt Russell looking hot"
"THE body horror movie. Ever wanted to see KY jelly and chewed up bubblegum used to create the most horrifying, gooey, and bulbuous mass of a creature you've ever seen? I SURE DO!!! It's such a practical effects monster especially with the big puppet-thing at the end that took almost fifty people to operate, AND the sound design with all the crackling and popping... ough. Just the first transformation scene with the kennel-thing is enough sicken someone. It's so good."
"all sequence of the thing is entirely practical effects, the blood and the gore, the tentacles and different versions of the thing. the practical effects were actually shot after the rest of the movie had wrapped up because making the effects took so long. they actually had an amputee in the scene where a characters arms were ripped off by the chest mouth in the defibrillator scene. Honestly John Carpenters magnum opus that was hounded by critics when it came out, but rightfully ADORED by horror fans in the present day for its amazing practical effects and awesome plot. bold and daring move to hide a lot of the characters eyes in many scenes, eyes are window to the soul and the thing doesn't want people knowing."
"I mean, this movie is an icon of body horror. Miss alien ate and the practical effects still terrify me on repeat viewings."

Do you mind if I ask your top 10 favorite characters (can be male or female) from all of the media that you loved (can be anime/manga, books, movies or tv series)? And why do you love them? Sorry if you've answered this question before.....Thanks...
Sure! (given in no particular order)
1. Daichi from Haikyuu, of course.. I just love everything about him. He's a great captain and he has a big appetite and he's so down to earth and masculine in the best ways, what a man!!! I want a tattoo of him on my body!
Tumblr media
2. Pam Poovey from Archer. It's hard to stand out in a show where nearly every character is the single most interesting person in the world but I really do think that Pam takes the cake. She's a real one. She stays true to herself no matter how much everyone else begs her to stop and I RESPECT THAT. Also she's a fat character who isn't limited to being the Fat Character. While her weight does come up, often in insulting jokes or bits, she has so much else to her that it feels like such a small part of her character.
Tumblr media
3. Princess Carolyn from Bojack Horseman. Out of all the insanely good character arcs in Bojack Horseman, Princess Carolyn's is my favorite. Usually the hardworking career woman character who wants a baby winds up the most disappointing character for me because she always gives up her career to be a mom but NOT MY GIRL PRINCESS CAROLYN. She said I want to be a badass boss lady AND a mom and I don't need no man to get what I want! And she did that shit. She deserves it.
Tumblr media
4. Linda Belcher from Bob's Burgers. I aspire to be like Linda. She's fun, she's extroverted, she is just so excited to live her modest life with a struggling burger business, a husband she actually enjoys spending time with, and 3 kids she adores with every fiber of her being. She sings and dances at any given opportunity and doesnt let embarrassment faze her. What an icon.
Tumblr media
5. Samwise Gamgee from Lord of the Rings. Every time I think of him I wanna cry. He's just so.... perfect.... and wonderful.... He is the sweetest, bravest man to ever exist and NOBODY CAN ARGUE. The original Ride or Die. We all need a Samwise Gamgee in our lives. 🖤
Tumblr media
6. Usopp from One Piece. That's my boy! He's so funny and relatable. I love characters who are brave while being terrified. Despite his wacky goofy personality, he's complex and insecure but he stands by his guns and isn't afraid to challenge even his best friend/captain to defend what he believes and GOSH what a stand up guy ammiright?
Tumblr media
7. Eleanor Shellstrop from The Good Place. I love a disaster of a woman. She's a selfish bisexual with zero shame, what's more to love? I just can't help it. I'm weak for women who are just The Worst ™️.
Tumblr media
8. Manny from Swiss Army Man. I mean... He's dead, he teaches us what it means to be alive, and he's played by Daniel Radcliffe. He's basically the perfect character, right? Listen, Swiss Army Man is my all time favorite movie and I want everyone else to like it too. I can't even talk much on it because it's so much better when you watch it yourself. Especially if you love amazing soundtracks, beautiful visuals, and queer revelations.
Tumblr media
9. Hal from Malcolm in the Middle. I'm such a sucker for husbands who are obsessed with their wives and men in touch with their emotions and Hal is the epitome of both those things! I watched this show while growing up and I truly think that Bryan Cranston's portrayal of Hal taught me how men are supposed to act, especially in regards to their romantic partners. And now my own partner is basically a less theatrical version of him so it paid off ya know?
Tumblr media
10. Judas Iscariot from Jesus Christ Superstar (1973). This is mainly based on performance. Carl Anderson did such an AMAZING job playing Judas that he literally stole the show, imo. Jesus who? You mean Judas's boyfriend? It's not JUST his performance though, the way the character is written is so well done that I feel like Judas is the real main character. Yeah, this is the story about Jesus but he ain't the star, ya dig? He's a basic bitch in comparison to the complexity and emotional turmoil of Judas. Also they're gay and in love, what a tragedy! This is cinema!

Quiet Time 3/10
What am I feeling today?
Just so so tired, I blame it on us losing an hour. Then again, I also went to bed later than usual bc we were traveling home. Still have some residual stress but it’s calming down, I trust that God will see me through for this week because He always has in the past.
Bible Plan: Healing what’s Hidden
God can handle our emotions
Emotions are like the check-engine light on a car. They don’t tell us exactly what’s wrong, but they alert us that something under the hood needs our attention.
I actually genuinely really love this analogy because that’s so true! You can feel something but have no idea where it could be coming from.
As we’re healing from trauma, it’s important to recognize what we are feeling, but we need to remember that emotions don’t tell the whole story—and they don’t always tell the truth. For example:
You may feel like no one cares about you. That’s a lie.
You may feel like God has abandoned you. He hasn’t.
You may feel like you aren’t going to make it through this trial. You will.
These are really great reminders because they’re thoughts and emotions that I’ve struggled with in the past and I want to get beyond them because I know what the truth is and shouldn’t rely on my emotions to determine what’s real.
The truth is, emotions are not indicative of the presence of God in our situation. Sometimes when we’re happy, we say that we feel God’s presence. Other times, we feel his presence when we weep. But we can be sure of God’s presence even when we can’t feel him. That’s because God’s presence isn’t a feeling; it’s a fact.
Just saying, this is so true!!
Feeling strong emotions isn’t indicative of a lack of faith. Jesus felt strong emotions, and no one would doubt his faith! God can take it when we feel desperate, furious, terrified, or overwhelmed. He wants us to bring the emotions to him and to let his Holy Spirit point us to the source of the emotions so that they can be healed.
This is comforting for me, because a lot of the time I can mentally kick myself for feeling too much or for being someone with such strong emotions and reactions. But there’s nothing wrong with that! The point instead is to take it to God instead of letting it reign over me.
It isn’t about controlling our emotions; it’s about engaging them and allowing God to teach us through them. Our feelings can lie to us, but God will always tell us the truth.
🥹 this is really good for me to read. Because I tend to have a problem with control and that’s why I didn’t like how emotionally I was, because I had no control over them. But it’s not about me controlling or in my case numbing my emotions, but letting God teach me something through it when I give them up to Him.
John 14:26-27 NIV
“But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”
The Holy Spirit is the one that teaches and reminds us, that’s so cool! I think it’s amazing that we have a part of the trinity that’s literally living in us!! Also noting that He does not give as the world does and that we should remain at peace (yes it’s difficult and there will definitely be challenging times but we know we can rely on Him.
Philippians 4:5-7 NIV
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
I need to get better about my prayer life. I know that I talk to God a lot but does that count as prayer if I’m not formally presenting it as such? Idk why but sometimes it’s just really hard for me to pray to Him and it really doesn’t make sense. But like I said, I need to get better about it because He wants us to talk to Him about everything!
1 Peter 5:6-7 NIV
“Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.”
He cares for us!!! Idc how many times I gotta read or reiterate it, it’s true and I need to have it as a constant reminder! Also, with my struggles, the solution is literally right in front of me, I just need to humble myself before Him.

i dont want to talk about scrutiny
WHATEVER, FINE, OKAY, WE'RE DOING SCRUTINY, OR SOMETHING, FINE, WHATEVER, WHAT EVER
i love scrutiny, i do, but in the way that i love threshold, and nothing beside remains, and seeing it through, and a guest for mr spider. meaning I really do, but I also hate it with vitriol. Not really? It's complicated. I have Some Feelings Towards it. Yep. Look this podcast makes me feel happiness and sadness and anger at the same bloody time, but it's all confused because it's overridden by being Very ADHD about it, so like, they're all rattling around in there. I hate it (affectionate), I love it (derogatory), you get it?
Anyway, y'all know how I feel about Jon already, and if you don't, it's love and only love, so uhm, yeah, let's just get on with it already, rambling and mostly rambling, attempts to set aside my undying love for the Jarchivist for like a day, etc.
@a-mag-a-day
Firstly, I'd like to draw attention to the posts I made on my instagram story about this when I was first listening to TMA, because I was Not Alright.
The first was highlighting the description of the episode: "Statement of an unknown bystander, regarding an encounter with The Archivist." "The Archivist." Not "Jonathan Sims," not "Jonathan Sims, Head Archivist of the Magnus Institute, London," not even "Jonathan Sims, The Archivist."
Just... The Archivist.
The second was regarding the first, saying that I knew it was deserved but he should be allowed to eat a few fears. As a treat.
I didn't say anything to my partner (who you should follow by the way, they're scarandjoelenthusiast), cause I think I was still attempting to be spoiler free for vex at that point, lol. And I had no other... friends. At all. Um. Yeah.
So, onto the relisten! Oh boy.
MARTIN Ah, alright, did he... did he look like he hadn't slept in about a week?
I absolutely love that Jon's descriptors are looking like shit, and looking like Jesus. That's just amazing.
Also uh,,, why did Martin immediately go to Jon? Hm..
Everything, every bit of light or sound or, or anything that changed, that said time was passing. There was nothing. Before that I never really thought about time, you know? But now… Yeah.
that must have been terrifying
So, it, it took a long time to get over that. I mean, that’s not weird, right? I me— It was a bad time. You know, it, it stays with you. Was signed off, what, I think about six months with the injuries. Had pretty bad, uh, nightmares, claustrophobia, I mean, obviously, right? But, uh, but, but I did my physio, and, you know, talked, talked with the counsellor they gave me. Look, I did everything I was supposed to and, and yeah, I… I guess I was fine. You know, once the bruises were gone I— Well, it’s easy to blame memory, right? You know, ha-hallucination, coincidence, all the classic shite you tell yourself. Life went back to normal. I— I was fine. Until about two weeks ago.
Jesus fucking christ, Jon. She was fine, trying to get over it, Floyd was fine and that's just it, because they think they're safe, and-
She was fine, she was okay, and he took that from her, he took that from her, he made it so she couldn't be fine anymore, he made it so every god. damn. night she'd experience that again, the bastard.
There’s this creep in, in the corner. Your guy. He just… keeps staring at me, like, like properly staring. Like, it is super intense and, and real weird. Like he knows me, but I sure as hell do not know him. I— I try to ignore him, look, I just, I just read my book, and every time I look up there he is, watching me.
Girls when they realise oh yes, he's an avatar.
So… Look, I’m packing up, all done and, and I just, I just sorta turn, you know, just, just to check if he’s still there and he is standing right behind— Like, like a few inches from my face. Look, it’s messed up!
That's??? Terrifying?? I mean, look, like, my sisters jump whenever I quietly stand behind them and stare intently, and they're my sisters, they know me, they know I only joke about stabbing them with a knife, Jon, that's freaky, stop being freaky, you have trauma at home. Go eat a stale trauma for gods sake.
Like, okay Mr. "I don't think it's me doing it." Who sat at a bloody coffee shop for an hour.
I. Understand. That there is a certain. Need. To cause and feed on fear. As an Avatar/Monster/Whatever. And I mean like it's pretty hard. To admit you're in the wrong for something. Even if you think you're in the wrong for other things. But like. None of this matters to Jess, to Floyd, to the three other people whose lives he ruined. He can try be better, he can never do it again, but he can't go back and fix it.
And I start to ask him, you know, what the hell, man, you know? Like— But he just starts talking. Slowly. But real intense. He says, he works here, at the, the Magnus Institute, and I say, what even is that and he says, he wants my story. He says he needs to hear what happened to me. And I— I want to tell him to jj-just go away. I want to, to, to kick him and run. But I— (long sigh) I sit down. And I start to tell him everything. About the job, about the collapse, a-about the hand. More than I told you, even, and, and as I do— it’s like I’m there again. Like I can feel it grab my ankle, th-th-that cold, dead hand and I just… I just can’t stop talking. I cannot shut up.
Tumblr media
[ID: A blurry photo of CC!GoodTimesWithScar with his head in his hands. /End ID]
And then it was over. And he looked— He looked at me like he’d just eaten, like a perfectly cooked steak. You know what he said? He said, “Thank you.” “Thank you.” Just like that. Like, like reliving the worst parts of my whole life were just a bit of a… a favour that I’d done him. And then he left and I— I just sat there and cried for a while.
i don't know what to say im just sitting here with my head in my hands.
And he’s there the whole time, just… watching me. Watching me scream and thrash and… He’s all eyes. He’s all eyes.
I kinda want to punch him right about now, because how dare he do that to her, how dare he ruin her life just because he wanted to. Whatever, avatar, feed your god or it'll feed on you, I don't care, that's his business, not hers. She wasn't involved, she didn't have to be involved, she was fine and he took that from her, the bastard!
How dare he sit there talking about choice, how dare he feel all guilty for ruining her life, how dare he! He doesn't deserve to feel bad about it. Christ, Jon, what the fuck.
But I feel like I’m seeing him when I’m awake as well. I’ve been… I’ve been having a lot of problems since he talked to me. Since I talked to him. Since I told my... story. The, the claustrophobia, it’s back, worse than it ever was and I can’t do my job. I have these, these screaming panic attacks every time I try and— What am I supposed to do? Like, feels like, like every time I’m even slightly underground I— Can’t even go into a shop basement more without feeling that… (sniffs) hand. Every time I do, every time I get that panic just rising up my throat, I see him. He’s there. Not when I look properly, but just at the edge. The corner of my eye. Then he’s gone.
(MAG 142 - Scrutiny)
Since then, she said she’d been seeing that woman everywhere she went.
(MAG 6 - Worm Sex Episode Squirm)
✨ becoming what you hated ✨
No, but I have a lot of feelings on becoming a fear entity Avatar and the cycle of violence. Of how Avatars often only became Avatars because of previous trauma, because they had no other options. Of how they often don't see themselves as victims, for example Annabelle Cane describing herself as manipulative, even as she was a child trying to cope in an abusive household. And I think that Jon being like Jane Prentiss, following his victims like her, starting to understand her... that ties into those themes. I love this podcast <3.
MARTIN No, no, it’s— Thank you. I just— [Agitated clatter] For god’s sake, can he not just stay safe for like, like ten minutes?! DAISY I don’t think that’s an option for him anymore. MARTIN Yeah, I mean, sure. But he just… he doesn’t think! He always just immediately charges straight off into danger with whatever, whatever half-arsed plan occurs to him at the time! I don’t get it! DAISY What’s to get? MARTIN What? DAISY I, I mean, it’s pretty standard stuff. MARTIN What? DAISY Used to see it all the time back in the force, especially with the sectioned. Not like there’s ‘normal’ trauma, you know, but it’s pretty common. The most important thing becomes control, engaging on your own terms. Even when it’s stupid or dangerous. Anything to not feel helpless. MARTIN Oh god… DAISY And of course for Jon’s there’s survivor’s guilt in there too. He thinks he’s not human. Makes him very… self-destructive.
PODDED CAST!!
Thank you, Jonny.
Like hgnhhrnhhnr <3 yep. mhhnm there's another post that talks about the meaning of putting that in with scrutiny, I'll tag a mag a day in that.
Like! Aa! Thank you. Don't really have much to add, I mean I said a bunch in other episodes rambles, specifically the MAG 131, 132, and 136 ones.
I mean you know, the whole spider thing, a bit of his self-blame about... the end of season 4... could come from... if he's not to blame, then he didn't have any control, then all of this was out of his control. If he couldn't stop it, if Jimmy Magma's plan was that good then... well, then he was helpless, and there's nothing worse than being helpless.
in conclusion, disregard the above Jon did nothing wrong- no, he's... he doesn't get to be forgiven by Jess, by Floyd, by the others, not unless they choose to forgive him. But he can work on doing better, you know? He's allowed to not wallow in guilt the whole time, he's not irredeemable, he just did bad things -- bad things he can't fix -- but he can work on never doing those bad things again, on mitigating the damage as much as he can. He's not a bad person, just a person who did bad things.
I dunno, I'm more interested in the metaphysics side of philosophy. You know there's a branch of philosophy called metametaphysics? I think it's so funny.

Okay so....I just listened to MAG 160 and....apart from the violent sobbing, I am emotionally numb from it, Martin was so close to leaving, the atmosphere was created so brilliantly that I could actually see the scene happening as I lt was playing out, I mean, fuck elias but Jon going all eldritch on Peter was AMAZING I'm terrified and in love with him. I'm hella scared of the fact that Daisy is overtaken by the hunt and might not be coming back because she is one of my absolute faves. Also Melanie. I'm proud of her for getting out, but JESUS CHRIST that was drastic. Okay I have many many thoughts on this but I won't put them all down as that would take YEARS

Whumptober Day 2: Delirium, “They don’t care about you”
This fic is based on and inspired by @jittyjames ‘s “the price of his war”. Her stuff is AMAZING please go read it ALL. (we also have a collab up on AO3 hehe)
“I hate you,” Alexander murmured drunkenly. When no response came, he finally looked up to make eye contact with the person across from him. He was met with his own cold eyes staring back at him, shining with the alcohol and tears that wouldn’t fall yet. His face was flushed embarrassingly.
“I hate you,” he said again a bit louder. “I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!”
In a blink the mirror was scattered in large shards in front of Alexander. A sob escaped from his throat as he ripped his hand back and cradled it against his chest, now slowly dripping with blood.
“Fuck!” He shouted in his grief, though to no one in particular as the house was empty to the point of an echo.
“Fuck!”
The sobs were ripped from Alexander’s throat, rough and painful. They were a hurricane of their own. Once they started there was no stopping them.
Alexander backed himself against the opposite wall and slowly sank down with his knees to his chest.
“Such harsh words, my dear.”
Alexander gasped in fright as his eyes shot open. He frantically looked around the room for the source of the voice. A terrified cry escaped from him as he was met with the image of the king standing before him.
“I would have wished you would have a warmer welcome for me.”
That horrible, tormenting voice he had tried so hard to escape.
“Don’t come any closer!” Alexander shrieked. “Stay the fuck away from me!”. He hated how his voice wavered as if it had never settled.
The king did not obey him, instead moving to kneel in front of him and touch his face.
God, even the touch felt so real.
“Oh, dearest, how far you’ve strayed from my lessons. Don’t worry, we’ll remedy that soon enough.”
Throwing his head to the side to escape the touch, Alexander shouted, “You can’t come near me anymore. Or-“
“Or what?” the king laughed condescendingly. “Or Washington will have my head? Or John Laurens will seek me out? Oh, my love, you really think they care that much, don’t you?”
Hamilton’s breath was caught in his throat as he tried to not absolutely lose it. Nothing felt real. He was questioning everything around him now that this apparition was back. He knew this wasn’t the real king, but-
“No one cares as much as I do.”
-But his words were just as the real king would be saying.
He couldn’t ever escape.
A knock distantly sounded at the front door and with one blink the king was gone. For now. Somehow on shaky legs Alexander made it to the door and peeked out into the night.
“Jesus Christ,” Burr exclaimed, “Hamilton, what’s happened?”
“Burr,” Hamilton half heartedly greeted.
Burr narrowed his eyes and gently shoved into the entryway.
“Come on in,” Alexander muttered, closing the door behind Aaron.
“No one’s heard from you in days, Alexander. What’s happened?” he repeated.
You think they care about you?
“Nothing. Did you come here to interrogate me?”
Burr sighed and held up his hands in a surrendering motion.
“Woah, listen, we’re just worried. John’s been worried sick the past few days-“
“Then why doesn’t John come see me himself?”
Burr sighed again and surveyed Hamilton up and down. Alexander hated it. He was tired of men leering at him.
No one as much as I, my dear.
Hamilton squeezed his eyes closed against the voice.
“Alexander, have you been drinking?” Burr’s voice came suddenly further away. Hamilton followed him to the kitchen and the bottles on the table entered his line of sight.
“So what if I have been?”
“Alex-“
“Since when is it a crime for a full grown ass man to take the edge off!”
Burr massaged his temples as he took calming breaths.
“Hamilton, listen-“
“No! You listen! I’m tired of you all coming into my home and telling me how to cope! It’s my life!”
Alexander punctuated his sentence with a weak blow to Burr’s chest. Aaron caught his fist and inspected it closely.
“Alexander, you’re bleeding!”
Oh, right. The mirror. He had completely forgotten. Burr had grabbed a cloth from the counter and was dabbing away the blood that was still sluggishly pouring.
“You can’t keep doing this to yourself, Alexander.”
You can’t keep doing this to us, Alexander.

Ah, it's so refreshing having a good and surprisingly mature take on romance and the topics os self-loathing and insecurities...
But by god that begining was atrocious.
That was definitely one of the worst "early instalment weirdness" I've ever seen. They wanted to paint this boy as a chuunibyou that wants to sound edgy and dark and brooding, and they overshot and made him look and act like a school shooter in the making. I almost dropped it by the second chapter, the fan service later also didn't helped much, but in the end I'm glad I'm a stubborn motherfucker and pushed through.
Because Christ it is so good to see characters that have a reason to not realize each other's feeling, not because they are dense but because they have so much doubt and self hatred that even when they notice the signs, they continue to push them away because they don't feel like they are deserving of love.
I love when characters have to actually face their flaws to understand love. That they see that they are deserving of loving and being loved by others, but first they need to confront and love themselves. And it's not an easy process, it's long and arduous and most of the time you have to drag yourself kicking and screaming forward because your brain refuses to accept it.
There's an odd comfort into just accepting you're not worth, being known is a terrifying thought.
And even when people are certain of the feelings involved by both parties there's still a doubt that makes them hesitate. The shell that kept them safe is also a prison that needs determination to break through.
It's also incredibly refreshing to see misunderstandings not spiral out of control. When those things happen the characters soon actually talk and try to confront what is going on in spite of their own immediate conclusions. It's such a rare sight to see and I always need to praise when a story does it. Yeah miscommunication causes problems, it is inevitable, but in real life people try to confront the situation, I never understood why every single character in other stories always just believes the worst without a single reason.
And I'm a sucker for ships like Tall gf x Short bf, aloof x ray of sunshine, teasing master x blushing mess, but I also like when the characters realize that they are so similar regardless of the outward looks. That the insecurities and doubts and self-loathing are something that both understand and share, even if they deal with it in different ways.
I like when people realize that even if they seem from completely different worlds, nobody understands them like the other.
I think Daphne here put it best how this story deals with most of the bad takes from the genre
Tumblr media
The story was quite amazing, in spite of the terrible start and constant fanservice. I have no regrets.
Except for not dragging Adachi behind a shed and shooting him in the head. Jesus and I thought Mineta was bad, that boy is in a whole different level.

i would love to hear about indie horror rpg number 957!! i adore indie horror rpg games
WELL since u so kindly asked. it is now time for one of my Many corpse party rants ^_^ and yes ik corpse party is not as like. unknown as like, jimmy and the pulsating mass or smth (which is something i REALLY need to get around to playing, actually) but with the recent sequel announcement i have been spinning it in my head much more than usual. more accurately, how bad the writing got by the end and how disappointing the ending to the heavenly host arc was, because it had SO much potential!! the initial game was such a hit for a reason!! (initial referring to the like, DS version era, which feels weird to say but you get my point. initial full version of the main story.)
book of shadows highlights this issue the most for me, because like. it has Such a good concept. the idea that everything is contained in a horrifying time loop in which these characters slowly regain the memories of their past loop, including their gruesome deaths. that’s fucking terrifying!! having to face the fact that not only have you done this before, but you didn’t survive, and maybe you’re fated to never make it out of this alive, no matter how hard you try. that your fate will actually worsen the deeper you go into the loops. that nothing you do matters. it never did and it never will. (it also does some other things i like, such as delving into the alternate endings/realities and fleshing out more characters, dynamics, and backstories. that was good!! i enjoyed that!! largely bc the new stuff they introduced was actually yknow. new. and not characters from a novel they just threw in and acted like you should already be acquainted with them.)
the issue with book of shadows for me is that like. the characters are SO stupid. like. fucking mayu?? she REALIZES the marks on her body are there because that’s how she dies, then just. never fucking tells anyone?? and SPLITS UP??? i don’t care how self-conscious she is i will never excuse that choice. she recognizes the room that killed her. she makes a conscious decision to not enter it. and then enters anyway!!! because fuck you!!! if she’d ended up there again in any other way i wouldn’t have cared so much because like. again. they’re fated to always die in exponentially terrible ways yadda yadda. but the way they got her there is SO stupid. had she not ran into i THINK ayumi and yoshiki(???) it would’ve made everything a hundred times better. have her panic over her situation and not pay attention to where she’s going. running into others and not saying anything just makes it all so frustrating to play through. the concept is fun but it just becomes annoying instead of horrifying because you’re forced to sit through these characters being idiots and get distracted by that instead of the actual horror of the situation.
book of shadows just has gameplay issues as well, like jesus christ did we need such insane completion goals 😭 having to spam click through 30+ endings is more torture than anything they ever put their characters through. it’s not even worth it considering how much the ending sucks either. you had a good premise!!! an amazing one even!!!! why did you do her like that!!!
anyways. mods are asleep post mayu splatter dot jpg
