Astrology Observation: No.24 (18+ Only)
No minors! Adults only pls
Just based on my opinions only take what resonates
Tumblr media
-Water moons/mars are the most likely to just say they love you during s*x (they may mean it too !); Can happen to fire moon/mars too but they may not mean it after the moment; Earth Moon/Mars will not be saying anything without planning well in advance (Earth moon AND Mars, you will not catch them slip lmao); I’d assume Air Moon/Mars would be the most likely to tease the other person(s) and say just about anything but I love you
-Venus aspects to Mars/ Taurus/Libra mars/ Venus and/or Mars in 2nd could really enjoy dressing up in lingerie and setting up a s*xy atmosphere in general (and your partner would enjoy this too !)
-1st/2nd /7th/8th house Venus, Scorpio Venus, Venus conjunct Pluto/ sometimes 12th house venus you may get compliments on your genitals from people during s*x (like told you have a pretty p*ssy lol yea fr)
-1st /8th house mars, Aries mars, Scorpio mars/Mars conjunct Pluto/sometimes 12th house mars would also be this for those in their masc energy (instead of pretty someone might admire the aggressive look of your junk instead)
-Imo the easiest sexual partners to discuss boundaries and such with will be partners that have easy (conjunct/trine/Sextile) mars aspects to your Mercury and/or moon
Tumblr media
-I know we’d assume that mars in 8th is the most s*xual but I’d argue that mars in 12th is also super s*xual. Intimacy tends to be heavy on the mind, and there’s a higher chance of mirroring s*xual energy back to others. Especially if the native acts out of their masc/mars energy
-i’d think Aries, Leo, and Scorpio mars would be the most into their partner being SO attracted to them they can’t keep their hands off of them and/or finish too fast (least likely with Scorpio unless you’re just really over stimulating them, most likely with Aries- the most veracious Aries mars go rounds imo)
-I’d argue and assume that air mars/3rd house mars are spacing out the hardest during s*x, and I bet it’s not on purpose (just bouncing between thoughts and coming back to what’s going on)(also if you keep their attention, you’re doing something right)
-Water mars could mean you sleep around for emotional validation (…Imma say it… cancer mars has the strongest chances lol)
Tumblr media
-I think your Venus and mars together can show if you’re more of a sub or dom imo (like if they’re both cardinal you’re probably a dom, if they’re mutable then you may be a switch/sub, and if they’re fixed I’d think you’d be hard set on being a sub or dom — and then results may vary depending on the combination of signs and how much of your feminine or masculine energy you act out of.)
-I think Scorpio Venus/Mars makes someone more dominant in s*x than Aries mars/Venus imo (they’re not here to win, they’re here to posses you- that’s so intense man)
-Understated praise kink placements? Virgo moon/mars. They need to hear praises for how well they did or they’re gonna overthink it. Libra/Taurus mars also would like this. And Venus square/opposition Mars would too in a tell me how much you want me sort of way (it makes them feel really desired)
-Tumblr ruined me bc now every time I look up a dudes birth chart and see Sagittarius mars/Jupiter positively aspecting mars I’m like damn, do they just have bde or actually have a big d*ck and I feel bad for guessing lmao but now it’s so automatic
-Strong Lilith placements (1st/7th/8th/10th) can show guys pressuring you to perform their like shadow side fantasies (which is not cool, because where’s the consent? We always need to discuss things beforehand and map out a plan otherwise it’s skeezy behavior -unless you’re into being surprised but even then lol)
Tumblr media
-Gemini placements (the big 6, but especially mars) make you louder in bed. And more open to trying new things and switching up positions.
-5th house synastry is really s*xy and fun. Some of the best dates and relationships imo. It also allows you to open up and experiment in a way you never have before. Can keep a long term relationship exciting as well depending on the overall synastry. (Be careful bc this is the pregnancy overlay too oml)
-I think north node in 5th can (depending on the sign and aspects ofc) can point to indulging in the senses, partying, breakin hearts and hookin up a bunch— especially if you’re unbalanced/still learning to balance this with your south node energy
Tumblr media
-(in sing songy voice) Scorpio synastry is someone telling you s*x with you makes them f*cking crazy (No they are not kidding ! Lilith synastry is this on steroids but it feels more like you’re lighting this fire in the more masc person - and they’re afraid of burning imo (I’m not singing any more lol)
-I hold to the fact that Lilith in 1st/7th/8th/10th can make someone jump into bed with you way faster than they usually would even if they have like an earth or water mars, if you have Lilith synastry with them this is amplified
-Masc folks/Men with Taurus and/or Cancer in their big 6 (especially mars/venus) are very attracted to women/femmes that are curvy and have an hourglass figure. Aries placements tend to be attracted to athletic figures. Leo placements are likely to jump at figures they find attention grabbing. Libra/Scorpio placement men are more likely to be attracted to figures that they’re socialized to find s*xy. I find that Sagittarius/Pisces is the least likely to have a set type. Aquarius and Gemini are also pretty dependent on personality and conversation skills.

Medusa Asteroid ( 149)
The Medusa myth is a compelling tale encompassing themes of power, fear and transformation. Medusa, born from the sea gods Phorcys and Ceto, was the only mortal among the Gorgon sisters. Originally, Medusa was a stunning maiden who captured the attention of Poseidon, leading to a grievous violation within the sacred confines of Athena's temple. In order to protect her, Athena transformed Medusa's hair into a mass of serpents, bestowing upon her a petrifying gaze. Medusa's astrological connection with the asteroid 149 suggests her influence recurs periodically, like seasons, lasting about 3.2 years. This implies cyclic challenges and growth tied to her themes.
Her family lineage underscores sibling rivalry and a sense of being different. After her transformation, Medusa retreats from the world, which can reflect where we tend to hide. Confronting these hidden truths requires courage and wisdom. Medusa's connection to Athena links her to Jupiterian qualities, offering insights when considering her placement with Jupiter in your chart. Some individuals with a strong Medusa presence may struggle with self-perception, seeing themselves as a metaphorical monster in the mirror. Others may possess an intimidating gaze that isolates them. Medusa's myth explores profound psychological and ethical themes, emphasizing self-awareness, ethical choices, and facing consequences. In astrology, Medusa indicates a swift and forceful defense mechanism to protect oneself, potentially causing tension, wounds, and unjust criticism in specific life areas, ultimately prompting personal growth.
Medusa in the 1st house: can give you a magnetic and intense presence that sometimes triggers negative reactions from strangers. Your hair and eyes, tends to draw attention, potentially making you a target for bullies or disrespectful comments in childhood. You may tend to stay hidden and to hide your body but you always end up being villainized. However, your transformative journey involves transcending these adversities. You rise above others' insecurities and boldly embrace your individuality. Empowering yourself by disregarding hurtful comments, you nurture self-appreciation and self-confidence despite societal pressures to conform.
Medusa in the 2nd house: can make you appear very self-assured and confident but you might find it difficult to see your own self-worth. Your voice may be quite attractive, and you might excel in business or singing. Financial success and possessions could come easily, but you may also face envy for your wealth. You may tend to hide the possession that you have and the inheritance that you received, especially from your husband. However, you can transform from this by maintaining your dignity, adapting to change, and valuing inner beauty over material possessions. Your makeup style may accentuate your allure, but be cautious of attracting unwanted attention in relationships.
Medusa in the 3rd house: may lead to tension with siblings and peers. In early years you may be quite shy and scared to express your opinion. In the neighborhood or with your siblings, things that go wrong might end up being attributed to you. Your social interactions may lead you to encounter individuals who are less than truthful, which can be frustrating. In some cases, people might misunderstand your intentions, labeling you as two-faced or even anti-social, especially if you're more introverted. However, your transformation comes by becoming more confident and setting boundaries, expressing your opinions assertively, and speaking up courageously when needed. Your ability to address uncomfortable truths may inspire others to do the same.
Medusa in the 4th house: can trigger negative reactions from family members. You might inherit certain challenging behaviors from an older relative and sense negative energy at home, possibly due to constant parental arguments. The them around you home can be quite unconventional, have an edgy look with marine and blue vibes to it. Your strong self-awareness and purposefulness can make it difficult for others to deceive or influence you. You've learned to establish your inner sanctuary, and you're protective of your emotions, possibly due to early criticism from a family member. This can lead to a desire for control and a slow transition when getting out of your comfort zone around others.
Medusa in the 5th house: with this placement people may envy or have hidden agendas, especially when you express your full self. You may tend to hide your art work and your creative endeavors, especially when younger. A lack of desire for children may bring you rumors, criticize and scandals. You're often villainized for outgrowing relationships and embracing change. There's a remarkable ability to protect your passions with unwavering determination, refusing to succumb to societal pressures or stifling expectations. In your life, you may attract partners with abusive tendencies and face misunderstandings due to your sincere kindness.
Medusa in the 6th house: people may envy your disciplined approach to daily life and work. In early years you might have encountered challenges with schoolmates and later, colleagues at work, a consistent inclination toward people-pleasing is noticeable. You've transformed from a people-pleaser to someone who values personal freedom and control. You're protective of your routines and may confront those who disrupt them, also you may like to adopt unusual pets and are very protective over them. You maintain a keen sense of discernment, especially regarding manipulative individuals, particularly men.
Medusa in the 7th house: your relationships may have faced challenges, and you could have experienced envy from others. People might see you as the peacemaker, but when you rebel, you face criticism. Controlling dynamics may have been part of your past relationships, and you may have experienced manipulation or guilt-tripping. People may envy your romantic connections, and sabotage could taint your relationships. You're villainized for not conforming to a one-dimensional image, for having your own vulnerabilities and complexities. To transform, reevaluate your role in relationships, recognize that you're not solely a caretaker, and insist on mutual partnership and empathy from others.
Medusa in the 8th house:  with this placement, you may encounter challenges in your intimate life due to being oversexualized. Loved ones might underestimate your pain, assuming you're always strong. Expressing yourself is often met with dismissal or minimization of your trauma. Your interactions can be intense and alluring, sometimes leading to obsessions, especially in intimate relationships. You tend to attract controlling individuals and even stalkers, people that usually want to know all your secrets. Some may envy your constant transformation, which can lead to competition or backbiting. Transformation comes for owning your sexuality and being in control of your finances. Remember, your personal growth is something to be proud of, despite others' negativity.
Medusa in the 9th house: your profound wisdom and exceptional intelligence often set you apart. While your deep knowledge and unique beliefs may not always find immediate acceptance, they are a testament to your unwavering commitment to your values. You naturally challenge cultural and religious norms; your spiritual journey is highly transformative and you usually hide your spiritual beliefs. It's important to recognize that your wisdom and spiritual insights have the potential to inspire and enlighten others, even when they struggle to fully comprehend your perspective.
Medusa in the 10th house: can create a unique journey in your work environment, where you might unknowingly trigger feelings of jealousy and face unkind energies from others. Your public image tends to be captivating, but this can occasionally result in clashes with government or legal matters. Challenges in your career and with authority figures are not uncommon with this placement, as there may have been expectations from your father for you to follow in his footsteps. As you age, you're likely to discover a growing sense of personal power and influence. It's important to recognize that these experiences have shaped you, and they offer opportunities for personal growth and transformation.
Medusa in the 11th house: you might keep your dreams and ambitions hidden because of the jealousy and envy you witnessed from your friends during your early years. Your upbringing might have exposed you to less-than-ideal community conditions, which may have led to toxic friendships and betrayals from people you considered friends. However, you do have genuine friends who share interests in astrology, spirituality, or religion with you, and these connections are meaningful. People might judge you or be envious, but this likely stems from their own insecurities. You're resilient and have the potential to make a positive impact on your community and the world in your own unique way.
Medusa in the 12th house: you might have experienced a pattern of encountering hidden adversaries in your life, which could be tied to karmic elements. This placement could also suggest a tendency to turn to intoxicants, like alcohol, which might symbolize a form of personal poison. Many with this placement may feel a strong bond with water elements, often expressing it through tattoos or jewelry featuring water symbols, seashells, or even snakes. Vivid snake dreams can serve as cautionary messages, urging vigilance against hidden adversaries. Your spiritual pursuits might be perceived as disruptive to community and family norms, causing some to view you as a threat due to your ability to see through deception when others can't.  Balancing vulnerability, self-protection, skepticism, and warmth highlights the need for compassion when confronting hidden traumas and fears in this placement.

My perspective on "kategate" is rooted in personal & professional (American) experiences. Perhaps this post will help someone.
My Charles- Catherine theory:
Charles' Cancer diagnosis was not entirely unexpected
BRF is hoping for the best AND preparing for the worst
In My imagination: Before the Coronation, Wills & Kate revisited their checklist of major things to do before Wills becomes king: Kate's surgery was on that list. Charles feeling "unwell" sped up the timing of what may have been Catherine's "future" surgery.
A planned (disruptive) medical event scheduled to fit the best time in the life of a princess who is the future queen consort & mother of his heir.
What the world knew:
BRF Major Health Updates
PROSTATE Procedure -king
Benign ABDOMINAL surgery -wife of king's heir (princess)
Results
Undisclosed location of malignancy-king
Successful surgery. Medical leave of absence (at minimum) through Easter-princess
Protocols
Weekly (undisclosed) "treatments" & crowd control -king
Discharged home to Windsor to continue recovery-princess
Prognosis
Caught early (intentional slip via Rishi)-KC
Making good progress-Princess
Princess well enough to travel to her Amner home w/husband & kids for school break
What the Media Heard
Tumblr media
What the Media Did...
Tumblr media
Tumblr to the Media: stop feeding the sewer squad!
Tumblr media
I've personally experienced a medical talk: "at some point in your life, you should PLAN x (a very disruptive) operation"
"We advise you to make PLANS to undergo x surgery, preferably before the age of your mother's x. Pick the best time for your busy schedule and lifestyle as it will be a major disruption. It's prophylactic so there's no rush and of course this is a recommendation, but studies show that it will prevent you from developing x or at minimum, significantly decrease the probability of you ever developing x, a life threatening malignancy. Sorry, we cannot tell you when, but just PLAN to do it when it fits your (busy) lifestyle & schedule."
Me during "the talk"
Tumblr media
Me listening to 2nd 3rd 4th opinions
Tumblr media
Sometimes our PLANS get interrupted
Tumblr media
"In the end, everything will be okay. If it's not okay, it's not the end."
Tumblr media
How did the British media vultures ignore "Keep Calm and Carry On"
Tumblr media
Many members of this family have been treated for malignancies and other life threatening illnesses and yet they have remained tight lipped.
Perhaps King Charles had a recurrence or even developed a malignancy secondary to previous adjuvant treatments. No one needs to know the location of his tumor.
Perhaps Catherine's procedure was not prophylactic. She could have been uncomfortable for a very long time. No one needs to know Catherine's diagnosis.
I do want them to be well & become humble servants of Christ Jesus, like Queen Elizabeth.
Open to hearing corrections & thoughts.

Saturn and restrictions 🪐
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In astrology, Saturn restricts us and usually comes from our childhood traumas. [Edit] Sometimes, In Roman mythology, Saturn was related to time and harvest, in Greek associated with Cronus the titan, Zeus (Júpiter). He knew that one of his children would defeat him. So, he decides to eat each of his children, basically, he restricts them from living.
There is no surprise that our placement regarding Saturn presents delays and restrictions. These restrictions come from authority figures since we are young.
Edit: I mistake Kronus and Cronus in my original publication, but phonetically in my Spanish brain it sounds the same. It's not a excuse, but here we go. Also, I did this theory while thinking in Goya's painting "Saturn eating his son"; it's quite gorish, but my original inspo / idea comes from that "Saturn" aka the painting.
⚠️Read. This post is about things that I notice about Saturn in the houses. Just take what resonates. If this post triggers you for any reason, it's okay to try to breathe and don't force it.
Furthermore, Saturn can show our restrictions due to karmic consequences. If you have Saturn retrograde, this may take longer to acknowledge.
These are possible issues, but just take what resonates.
꩜ Saturn in the 1st house: these natives were restricted in their appearance or approach to life. Others, rigorous figures dislike the way they present themselves to life. Restricted household name. Imposition of a purpose. Problems with self-image due to parental comments. People tell you how to behave and act in front of others.
꩜ Saturn in the 2nd house: they were restricted in drawing boundaries. It may be the case that the native always feels pressure to share their possessions with others. Stability and comfort were not expected. Money was too much or nonexistent. Stability over love. Poor self-esteem. Others took your time and things for their use without asking.
꩜Saturn in the 3rd house: Parents or teachers restricted the native communication. They make the individual feels incompetent or out of place, whenever they share opinions or ideas with others. Bad relationships with siblings. Siblings laugh at how they talk. Problems with words. Others tell you how "awkward" you sound or the worst thing. They make you regret expressing yourself.
꩜Saturn in the 4th house: a restricted home, this could be throughout inheritance of some sort of. Their emotions and feelings were prohibited by a mother or a maternal figure. This could also be a physical space: a small house. The 4th house is ruled by the moon. You were called "weak" or too sensitive. You should honor your traditions even if you didn't like them.
꩜Saturn in the 5th house: these people were obligated to act mature or calm. Even though they were expressive, others degraded their creativity. They were too happy or too naive. People make them feel out of place. They were told to shut up because they were too loud. People make fun of them.
꩜Saturn in the 6th house: they were exposed to overindulgence in childhood. Also, poor health habits or poverty. Their parents never limit their habits. So, now they may overwork in their health or workplace. Routines were so present that bored them or everything was spontaneously making them feel unsafe. Being organized was part of their routine. Eating was complicated. Eat guilt and shame from your parents "you should finish your meal because many people are starving"
꩜Saturn in the 7th house: power struggles and restrictive relationships and partnerships. Parents were always in conflict. People who were close neglected or ignored the native's needs. They didn't learn what companionship or equality is. Others push your boundaries, and you didn't act on it. A need to be perfect was a thing.
꩜Saturn in the 8th house: identity crisis or hiding self. They were dictated to hide due to an image. This also means someone controlling you like a possession. Sexuality was a taboo, so they restrict you from expressingyourself. Other people manage your money or possessions to leave you in fear. Hiding your fear under your bed. Religion imposition and all the issues around it. Feeling ashamed because they are "different". They put you on the pedestal and you didn't like it.
꩜Saturn in the 9th house: You were restricted from following your convictions and philosophies. Life was under a regime of education for others. Maybe, you study too much in different educational institutions. Learning was too insufficient or too exhausting. They make fear knowing things; you were constantly told to stay still. "Don't move"
꩜Saturn in the 10th house: People give you responsibilities that you didn't deserve. They make you grow up too fast. They make you aware of your persona, and now you feel restricted to feel free. Constant burnout, too. Child prodigy issues. You need to be active all the time because productivity is key to success; this constant movement makes you feel empty.
꩜Saturn in the 11th house: you were restricted to use your knowledge and compassion toward others. Your parents reprimanded you for using technology devices or you didn't have any device. People restrict your higher knowledge and being "different" was seen as bad. Also, you were pushed to be alone and be away from communities or "your people".
꩜Saturn in the 12th house: people restricted your inner essence. The unknown part that they felt was not you. Also, you were secluded from religion; either your spiritual beliefs and experience or religion restricted you, too You may lie to yourself often. Mental health was restricted too. Parental figures hide you from others.
Take care <3

With every me is every you
Tumblr media
Pairing: Dino x reader
Genre: Mulitple Universes, Drama, angst with happy ending
Warning: not edited, super long (i'm sorry), i really mean long (you've been warned) 1st universe: rejection, going seventeen content reference (going company) 2nd universe: police brutality, going seventeen content reference (ego episodes), spoilers if you haven't watched going seventeen ego episodes, Vixx's error mv references, possible graphic description, Dino is "k*lled"(?), cloning 3rd universe: scamming, being scammed, crime, financial talk, Dino's character (Pi Cheolin), going seventeen content reference (2023 Best Of Going Seventeen 2) 4th universe: Dino's wait references (lyrics and mv)
Synopsis: "Me and him. We have met thousands and thousands of times. Sometimes it seems like a love story, sometimes it seems like a drama, sometimes it seems like a indie film. But whatever the genre is, it's still 'him' that I 'fall for'. Every movie has an end; even if this is the last chance, I will turn it into a happy ending"
Note: Inspired by the trailer for EveryYou, EveryMe. And the synopsis is the majority of the narration from the trailer as well. The quote in the banner is from the original (Norwegian) SKAM tv show, season 3/ Isak season. The flowers mentioned in the 4th universe actually mean constancy, goodness, and lasting affection; i thought it was a good fit plus i think they're the flower that you see in the mv so bonus points.

˗ˏˋ Universe 1: Co-workers ˎˊ˗
"They're staring again" a voice said from behind you. "You know, staring isn't gonna help you?" it asked, this time addressing you. You turned around to be met with your team leader Cara and co-worker Mr. Yoon.
"Well, not all of us can be lucky to date our co-worker like you are, team lead" You responded. Cara was dating another co-worker named Joshua Hong. The two had joined the Going Company at the same time and began dating not long after that.
"But you could. Didn't you say out of your group, you're closest to Mr. Lee.?" Mr. Yoon joined the conversation as he sipped on his Americano.
"But that's only because of the teams we're in. So it's only because finance and promotion departments work closely together" you pointed back out to the male.
"Either way, just staring at the poor boy isn't going to make him like you back. A piece of advice, make a move" Cara told you with an annoyed look. Mr. Yoon nodded in agreement as he patted your shoulder on the way back to his department. You know the two are only trying to help you with your crush on Mr. Lee but you were fine with the way things are. Staring at him in secret and being work buddies was good enough for you.
-
"L/N, just the person I was looking for!" A voice you knew well, Mr. Lee's, called out for you in the hallway.
"Hey, Mr. Lee!~ What's up?" you asked, your voice slightly cracking when you said the male's name.
"I was thinking we could go out after work. I wanted to run some ideas by you and get your opinion" He told you as he flashed a bright smile in your direction. Your heart skipped a beat at the sight and you felt like flying at his request.
"Of course, we can go to that cafe down the street."
~
You and Mr. Lee walked together to the Green Room Café, it wasn't far from the company so many of the employees were familiar with it. You were hoping that Mr. Lee hadn't seen any of the encouraging gestures from Mr. Boo, Mr. Chwe, Mr. Yoon, Cara, and even Mr. Hong. It had been embarrassing enough that all of them were making a big deal out of the situation, you didn't need the male questioning you on top of it.
"So what did you want to talk about exactly?" you asked the male as the two of you sat at an open table. Mr. Lee picked one that seemed to secluded from the others which piqued your curiosity as to the reason why.
"Like I said earlier, I have some ideas I want to go through with you. I'm not as good as Seungkwan but bear with me on my slides" Mr. Lee said as he pulled his computer from his bag. You felt a fit disappointed that the male only wanted to talk about work. But this is what you should have expected, the two of you were work buddies and nothing more. Mr. Lee went through his ideas to advertise products, asking about their financial estimates and your opinion.
-
The one-time event had became a weekly routine for you and Mr. Lee. The two of you would go to the cafe to go over the male's ideas, and he'd message you if there was any updates. Cara was worried that he was using you to get ahead but you reassured your team lead, that wasn't the case. Mr. Lee walked over to your desk, placing a small treat on it. He had been doing that often too causing the butterflies in your stomach to increase.
"I have something I want to tell you. Meet me on the roof top during lunch break" he told you before winking and walking away. You felt giddy at the thought of meeting him on the roof type. It was rumored within the employees that it was the place to go to make a confession.
~
You were met the sight of Mr. Lee looking out as you walked through the doorway. "Mr. Lee!" you called out to him. You had decided that you were going to confess to the male as the occasion seemed to call for it. "I actually have something to say to you as well. Would it be alright, if I go first?" you asked, walking up to where he stood. You waited for him to nod before speaking. "I like you" you said, keeping it short and simple.
"Oh. Um," Mr. Lee awkwardly laughed. His response was making you grow more nervous. "I- um, I don't feel that way about you" he said with an awkward tone.
You hummed as you nodded your head and looked to the floor. You knew that you wouldn't and couldn't change the man's feeling. "So, what did you want to talk about?" you asked the man as you tried to hide any hints of your feeling in your voice.
"I just wanted to thank you for helping me. I've been able to gain more recognition in my department, the department head said I might be able to earn a promotion if I continue" Mr. Lee informed you before clearing his throat. It was obvious that he was feeling awkward about how the situation turned. "Um, so thanks" he coughed before turning to walk away and leaving you alone. As you heard the door close behind him, you allowed for yourself to began crying.
˗ˏˋ Universe 2: Clone Dino ˎˊ˗
You watched as the male on the table opens his eyes. "Y/N? Is that you?" he asked with a confused face and hoarse voice.
"Yes, it's me, Dino" you answered, helping him to sit up from his original position. "How are you feeling?" you ask him as you hand him a glass of water.
"I've got a slight headache but I just feel confused for the most part".
"That's okay. The headache will go away and you won't feel confused for long" you explained to the male as you grab his left arm. "Let's try standing up and walking" you said, helping him off the table. You put his arm around your shoulder before slowly walking out of the room.
"What happened?" Dino asked. He looked around the area as if he didn't recognize it. You only hummed in response, ignoring his question as you brought him into another room. "Y/N?" he asked again, this time his voice raised upon entering the new room. In the middle was a pile of bodies, ones that if closely inspected looked similar to him. Your actions made it seem like this was a normal thing which only added to Dino's concern.
"I'm sorry, my sweet boy. I'll figure this out" you said as you caressed his cheek and giving him a kiss on the other.
~
I wonder what the problem is? Why was that one so confused?" you asked to yourself, turning your head as you looked at the papers laid out in front of you. Shaking your head, you resolved to trying again. You were determined for this to work. It needed to work; you couldn't live without your boyfriend, Dino, by your side. Loading up the data again, you threw yourself back into creating.
-
You watched as the male on the table opened his eyes. He didn't move or try to say anything making you feel worried. "Dino?" you asked, leaning in closer to him. "Are you okay?" you continued as you brought your hand close to his face. As you brushed his hair out of his eyes, they suddenly opened like he had been shocked. You back away just in time before Dino sat up, narrowly avoiding smacking your head onto his. Still saying nothing, Dino brought you into a hug. His head laying on your chest and his arms tight around your waist. "Dino?" you asked once again as you stroke the hair on the back of his head.
"I'm okay" he said, looking up at you with his twinkling eyes. You sighed, feeling relief, and leaned over the male. It felt like you finally had the love of your life back. You missed this, you missed him.
"I missed you" you whispered, deciding to tell him how you felt at this moment. He pulled away from you, although still keeping his hands on your waist.
"why? I didn't go anywhere".
You just sniffly laughed before nodding your head. It was best that he believed that rather than knowing the truth. Suddenly the door burst open interrupting the moment between reuniting lovers. Before you had a moment to understand, they were pulling the two of you apart. Two officers detained you while three surrounded Dino, who was still on the table, forming a wall. The next events happened too fast and suddenly you were pushed onto your knees while being yelled at. The wall of officers separated and Dino sat with his head facing downward. He had a hole in the side of his neck and his hands were limp. You let out a gut wretching scream at the sight before further falling onto the ground. You had just gotten him back and yet again he was taken away from you.
˗ˏˋ Universe 3: A Scammer & his Lover..or a Victim ˎˊ˗
"Don't you think you should be more careful with your money? I mean your first card declined, that's not like you" your best friend, Cara, mentioned as the two of you walked out of the store.
"Yeah, typically you're the frugal one out of us. Is something going on? We can help, you know that right?" another one, Cubi, joined in, their face showing their worry. You laughed and waved them off.
"No nothing going on. Remember I told you guys, I got a boyfriend. I've just been helping him out" you told them with a shrug.
"And that's the problem. P- what was his name again?" Cara starts again, her pace quickening to match yours. Cara and Cubi flanked you, theirs gazes still filled with worry.
"Pi Cheolin" you answered her before continuing non-chalant. "And there's no problem with partners helping each other out when they need it. I honestly glad that he trusts me enough to tell me his problems". Your face heated up at the thought of your relationship and your boyfriend. Cubi shook their head, you were seemly to innocent, more like naive, and love blind to see what was happening.
"Tell me, honestly, do you think this Pi Cheolin would do the same for you?" Cubi asked, stopping the three of you from walking any further. You nodded adamantly but you were growing annoyed at your friend's accusations. You knew your boyfriend; he loved you and right now, he was just going through a rough patch. As if sensing your annoyance, your friends stopped their questioning instead reassuring they were there if you needed help.
-
"Cheol, you won't believe what Cara and Cubi was telling me today!" you yelled out into the small house. Because Pi Cheolin was struggling, you let him stay at your place despite how small it was just for one person. The place was dark and quiet like there was nobody occupying it. That was odd because your boyfriend tried to cook around this time as a form of payback. "Cheolin!" you called out again as your finger fumbled for the light switch. Nothing happened as you flipped the handle up and down. "What the hell? I gave him the money for the bills?" you whispered to yourself confused as to why the lights weren't working. It wasn't a power outage because your neighbors had working lights but you definitely gave Pi Cheolin the money to pay the bills. Maneuvering in the dark to find your entry table and stumbled for the flashlight stored there. Now with some form of light, you were met with a disaster. It looked as if a storm had gone through your home, items were knocked over and cushions overturned. Worry grew inside of you at the sight; where was Cheolin within this mess. You couldn't help but think that someone had gotten to him. Taking out your phone, you hurriedly dialed 119.
~
"Hey, the police send there was no sign of a two-person struggle or breaking-&-entering. I'm sorry to say it but they believe this guy scammed you" your friend Cara said to you after speaking with the officers. They had tried telling you earlier but you didn't believe them. Cubi brought you in for a hug, holding you close to their side.
"You can stay at my house until you get your money together again" Cubi offered with a small smile. Cara nodded as they looked back over at your small place with polices filing out.
"And we can go to the bank to see what we can do. It'll be okay" they reassured you, placing a hand onto your shoulder.
˗ˏˋ Universe 4: Please don't tell me wait ˎˊ˗
You looked at the pressed flower you had hidden in your recipe book. You caressed the page it sat on with your finger before letting out a sigh. "I thought you said that the date went well?" Nara asked you from their spot at the front counter.
"It did" you told her as you looked up from the book. "And we've been talking but our relationship status is still up in the air" you continued after a moment of hesitation. You grimly smiled as you thought back to the few dates you had been on with Chan.
"Hmm, maybe you just need to wait" Nara said, turning back around to face the front of your bakery.
"I don't want to wait though~" you whined but it fell on deaf ears. You poured at your friend's back before humphing and turning back to to your recipe book. "I don't want to have to wait" you said again, this time whispering to yourself as you continued to look at the pressed flower. The oven beeping distracted you from your wallowing and pulled you from your seat. You had become busy checking on the pastries causing you to miss your phone screen that lit up with a message.
'Can I see you tonight?'
"Y/N's not replying to my text" Chan whined to his hyungs. He had texted the baker about 30 minutes ago and yet his phone was still showing delivered.
"I'm sure you can wait until they reply" Wonwoo pointed out to the youngest male. Vernon just patted the other's shoulder before returning his attention back to something else.
"I don't want to wait" Chan slightly whined at the response. "I mean what if Y/N loses feelings or worse thinks I don't have feelings" he continued with his eyes growing wider at the thought.
"If you don't want to wait then go to them" Jeonghan advised as he looked to him. At Chan's confused face, he continued. "If you're so worried then go. It's as simple as that". Jeonghan and his statement made it seem like it was simple math (which it was). Chan nodded his head and got up from the table. He felt determined to not leave it to fate. As Chan left to get dressed, he sent another text out.
'I'll see you later tonight ◡̈'
-
"Are you sure that you're okay closing alone?" Nara asked as they hung up their apron and replaced it with their coat.
"Yes, I'm sure. There's one more order left and then I just have to clean up a bit. It'll be fine" you told them, waving them out of the door. Watching Nara walk down the street, you let out a sigh before looking at the clock. You let out another sigh at the time; another day passed and you're still confused about your standing with Chan. You walked to the back, turning off the lights as you went. You didn't bother to keep the lights on as all of the chairs were put up and no one else should be coming in. You began preparing the last order and the start of a long cleaning process.
Chan stood outside of the bakery, trying to see if anyone was inside. It was dark inside but he felt the need to double check. He had changed into a leather jacket on-top of a grey shirt and bought a bouquet of red Zinnias. Chan walked through the unlocked front door, he'd warned you about being more careful later. He looked around in the dark bakery, the only light coming from the streetlights and the light he could now see spilling from the back. Taking a deep breath, Chan tapped the bell on the counter separating the two areas.
You looked up at the sound of the bell ringing. From your spot, you could see Chan waiting which caused your nerves to rise in anticipation. You hadn't expected from him to show up, especially unannounced and at this time. Rushing to your recipe book, you took out the pressed flower and then grabbed the last order. You clipped the flower onto the bag with the item sheet. Giddiness was running through you as you walked to the front counter, but you tried acting nonchalant to the male there. You placed the bag down before pushing it in his direction. Your heart was beating wildly and you hoped he understood what you were trying to convey. Rustling from his side made you look up, only to be met with a face full of flowers.
"I don't want to wait anymore. Would you date me?" Chan said, putting the flowers down just enough for you to make eye contact with him. You nodded as a laugh spilled out of your lips and watched as a smile grew on his face. Not caring for the counter in between the two of you, Chan embraced you as close as he could. There was no need for the either of you to worry about your relationship, someone just need to make a move.

Victoria (12)
Victoria is a Latin name whose meaning signifies "victory". Even though it is a name, this asteroid in the natal chart can potentially signal the area of our lives in which we can access victory and what energy should we embrace in order to reach it. This doesn't have to be always about money though'. This post will talk about all of this while considering the house and sing this asteroid falls in.
As always, take this with a grain of salt, I apologize for any mistake, please don't copy or repost this post without giving proper credits to the owner, and please enjoy it.
Tumblr media
Victoria in Aries/1st house: you have the face and energy of a victorious person. Even if you don't feel like it. The only way for these natives to reach successes in their life is to believe in themselves. To not be afraid of taking risks. To be proud of who they are, where they come from, and where they want to be in the future. Of following your passions even if it seems impossible or as if you are not capable enough. You can do it. You've got this. Take risks. Learn from your experiences when there is setbacks, delays, or bad results. And, especially, don't look down on yourself.
Victoria in Taurus/2nd house: these natives may have, as the last group, a problem with their self-esteem. Especially when you compare your earnings or material success to those who are close to you. Don't you worry. Victory in achieving a stable life in terms of material success is yours as long as you work hard for it. You may need to put some carefully planned steps in order to create the future you want for yourself. Don't rush. Don't tell anybody of your plans, ideas, or proyects since many of them could try to steal it. Victory will come with caution, organization, and confidence.
Victoria in Gemini/3rd house: the possibles victories of these natives may come once they feel comfortable with their knowledge and are not afraid to share their opinions, ideas, or projects to others. It is pretty possible that these natives have creative ideas, a sharp mind when it comes to businesses, knowledge, or a talent for writing even if they are not concious of it or feel like it's nothing of significance. On the contrary the things you think, know, and write could have a lot of potential for you in the future, but there needs to be a developing of your communication style with, maybe, a little bit of study too.
Victoria in Cancer/4th house: these natives could feel very connected to every victory they reach in their lives. It's like as if there is an emotional connection between their victories and themselves. Anyways, for those of you who have this sign or house, victories will come once you fully understood your emotions. Once you connect with your escense, your private self, your emotions, what makes you happy, and take care of it, you'll notice more victories in your life. Or maybe you will notice more how victorious you are. With yourself. With your family. Maybe one day you will be victorious in creating a family or meeting your soul tribe.
Victoria in Leo/5th house: these natives will reach victory once they connect ane let their inner child, their passions, hobbies, along with their romantic side, be free. How confident this person feels with themselves when they stand out or let their uniqueness come to light, it's something that will depend on each case but, if you feel like this, know that it's okay. It's okay to feel scared sometimes to show who you really are at a child like level. Many times, we think we must mature and act as an adult all the time but, in real life, connecting with the inner child is something good and precious. It help us to connect with our vulnerable and creative self which, in turn, it helps us see the world not as it is but what it can be. What can be done in it. And reaching that level is, in my opinion, a huge victory.
Victoria in Virgo/6th house: these natives will reach victory in attaining a healthy balance within the working life and the health department (mental and physical) after they take conscious of how precious our bodies are, they are our companion from the day we incarnate until we die, and it needs a proper care (physical and mental) in order to live a long and healthy life. Sometimes is difficult due to the constant stress we may suffer from day to day life, but maybe finding an activity that makes you feel relaxed, writing down your problems in a book, doing exercise, or something like that could help.
Victoria in Libra/7th house: these natives will reach victory by learning to connect with others in a healthy way. It may involve some lessons, easier or harder depending on the case, but, at the end of the day you will learn a lot about different things such as recognizing what people or attitudes you tolerate or not, who is better to form a relationship with or who is in your life just to be a nasty person. Some people are meant to be part of our lives and some of them not, you will learn that, but, despite if there is bad people in the world, there is still also good ones. And you will master how to recognize them if you master your lessons.
Victoria in Scorpio/8th house: for those of you who have this asteroid in this house or sign, you will achieve victory by diving into your intimate side. Not quite the emotional side such as with Cancer/4th house theme, but your sexual side, your innate power, and your hidden traumas. Also accepting that life is a constant change in which, in some cases, there will be loss or a death of the self, and those changes brings an opportunity of expansion, transformation, and grow. Understanding this will bring victory along with the knowledge of yourself and your intimate or sexual power.
Victoria in Sagittarius/9th house: for those of you who have this asteroid in this house or sign, your victory will come after a long time of discovering, learning, and maybe travelling too. Gaining knowledge through experience, travell, studying, or meeting new people can grant these natives the victory when it comes of understanding different cultures, e victory of understanding other people's point of view, and victory in expanding your beliefs thanks to the experiences you'll face that will help you grow over time.
Victoria in Capricorn/10th house: I'm not going to lie guys, there is a huge probability that your victories will come after a lot of working, karmic lessons, and cycles. Others will view you as someone succesful whom had to deal with some obstacles but ended up being victorious. This can become true in the future for some, but, in general, what this asteroid can bring is a victory in breaking karmic cycles so you can start anew. Free of chains, of karmic debts, of karmic partnerships, fears, restrictions, and attitudes. You can achieve victory on that.
Victoria in Aquarius/11th house: these individuals will reach victory after they accept their uniqueness, the uniqueness of other living beings (not only humans), and how that should be respected by others. You have intelligence guys; an intelligence that comes from knowing, sometimes intuitively, the energy of the colective, along with an intelligence of creative new ways of improving the energy of the world and breaking old patterns. By trying to understand and care for the colective, not only will you reach victory on this area, but also others will notice your victories or those will help the colective in some way.
Victoria in Pisces/12th house: victory for these natives will come in their own time and place, and once they start connecting with their spiritual side, their unconscious, and their psychic abilities. If you are interested in astrology, tarot, reiki, and other spiritual practices, with enough effort you will reach victory in becoming successfull in that area or discovering who you really are in spirit. Maybe you will master the law of attraction. Another thing to consider is the possible fact that your spirit guides communicates with you through your subconscious, providing guidance of what you should do in order to achieve victory or, on another hand, you have plenty of victories but maybe you are not so conscious about them.
This is all I have for you. I hope you enjoyed it. Send you a lot of love and light.

Bron/AD
Tumblr media
time for my honest onion on bron/AD...
i think they are very compatible like either way you view it, friendship or romantic relationship. Like they are on kyle/demar levels of compatibility in terms of opposites attracting. Lebron is driven and AD is deep. Lebron is willing to investigate and explore any of AD's unique passions (like gta rp) even if it's very new to him or he has to borrow a shitty mic from his streamer son to do it 😭. AD is willing to go the depths of Lebron's wants and desires by seeing him more than just the crown status he has. He doesn't want to please necessarily, but to just help in general because their relationship (whether platonic or romantic) revolves heavy mutuality. I think people can be too hard on Lebron/too judgemental because of him having the spotlight and all the issues that surround that, so whenever AD doesn't perform well.. people blow the thing up into a huge problem. And while that IS a problem... i think their relationship builds off of having problems tbh. Not big ones but like small ones that you can consider accomplishments when they're solved. Their relationship is built off of constant solving VIA investigating, helping, and just tending to other's needs. They REALLY get closer together by actually. Getting closer together. And to get closer.. they need a little problem first.
Problem has this whole negative attachment to it, especially to people who live more comfortable, less competitive lives, but it's different for people like Lebron who's faced more options to deem definitions toward. Their relationship works on workable problems. Not to be confused with a big.. actual actual disruptive problem. Lebron is a big solver who turns into a big feeler when something isn't solved right and AD is a big feeler who turns into a big solver when something doesn't feel right. They work well with each other because they work WELL with each other. They compensate not JUST bcs they're willing.. but because they both see it as a NEED. They're both 110% devoted (afterwards) to help out on a problem.
BUT..... the whole thing with little problems... can be a Little difficult tho. Sometimes. And it's not about having those little problems, because those are unavoidable and in both of their minds necessary for greater development...
it's maybe.. Not having any little problems. At least with the other. It's the problem of 'what more can we do?' That makes them antsy. If Lebron somehow started out with AD from the beginning as a sidekick (and not kyr*e first) .... like idk somehow they get on the same team sooner.. the relationship would still be good because it IS.. i just don't know how long it will be sometimes (both duration and depth). BCS LIKE. Lebron came off of a lot of issues during and after kyr*e. I'm not a big follower of bron, so I can't go into details, but I am an empathizer with him, even as an MJ fan. Lebron loved sticking with AD despite everyone making fun of him for being LeGM. That gave him a conflict he could easily conquer by showing out and connecting with AD, which in turn strengthens their relationship. But to start off on a cleaner slate..? With less issues to work with him on and in turn grow closer with him?
In my opinion, it's a relationship that works best the way it was found. If you take it out of the timeline too forward or backwards.. it'll still be compatible.. but it won't be. it won't have the OOMF, u know?
which leads me to say..... i think it's a relationship that really has to be like. A 2nd/3rd one. Like a trying again NOT WITH EACHOTHER but with the self. You can't just HAVE it.. and it'll be.. IT, you know? It's a strong relationship.. but it definitely NEEDS other factors that aren't exactly from the self to make it work even stronger BCS IT ALREADY IS STRONG FROM THE SELF... there IS a connection and an ability to make that connection even stronger.. it just needs an external enzyme to activate that. They can't exactly just activate that themselves with them alone. They need at least a little something else to push them into shared goals.
SO LIKE I MEAN!!! I LIKE IT ! I DO !!!!! But i think I like it a lot more as good friends bcs idk... I feel like you'll just get that more the more you try to adjust the timepieces and whatnot. Like yeah, they're super helpful to each other when pushed to be, but they're always kinda helpful to each other in general and the fact that they need a push that's forced to be outside just.. idk. It makes the friendship go from a lot less magical to me and more mechanical.. there's more reasons and definitions for it WHICH SOME PEOPLE DO LIKE!!!!! I definitely like being able to say more stuff about things!
But idk... im kind of a sap for things being sometimes just like... u know! They besties! They love each other! Besties!!!
The whole addition of the need cycle makes it go from besties!!! To woooah! Here's a reason for why that happened and if that reason wasn't there this would not be happening ! And it's not some cute elaborate romantical story from the heart.... it's cause and effect or cause and rebuttal. IDK MAN like it definitely WORKS. But like. Me, personally, VERYY personally, i love when things just sorta WORK and u can't really explain all the how's (bcs there's more than one. It's a whole jumbled story and more and more reasons for them to love/interact deeply with each other) but it just kinda.. WORKS !
If the people were even slightly different, like if ad wasn't the person he was.. it would not run like that. So they DO need that kind of specific relation between them to get that relationship specifically to survive below the surface.. so I CAN see the beauty in that tho!!! I just like seeing it better in something more platonic like a friendship tho... but i do understand the beauty of the working relationship and I think that's nice too :) !! It works great for them and especially lebron lol, maybe it's Him....
#will lebron ever escape the cycle of work???????#it looks like his zodiac says noooo !#im not the biggest fan of bron/kyrie#or any bigger ship in general#this spans across just the nba fandom.. ive always been a lover of rarepairs/random pairs#so it's similar to this where it's mainly just a personal thing and it doesnt necessarily mean it's suddenly so BAD#just bcs one particular person just so happens to not get that spark others may feel around it#BUT... i do think in order for this relationship to happen... it NEEDS other relationships to have happened before it#like bron/kyr*e#WHICH DOESNT MAKE IT HORRIBLE!!!!!!!! it's very realistic! but maybe a bit too? realistic?#like the relationship doesnt need to be based on trust..care..etc. it already has that. it needs to be based on the outside. the past#pg/kawhi is also a very heavy needs to consider the past ship... but it also has heavy internal needs that are brought into the equation#lebron and ad dont need that included bcs theyre the tools#bron/ad are like... two automechanics who need business first so they can start working in genuine tandem with the tools#that they already have and already know they work well with#pg/kawhi are like two automechanics that are like.. there isnt even a car from a customer in here yet but theres work being done#kawhis trying not to knock over all of pgs fishing pictures hes got on the bench along with his own weird items kawhi#has to understand first to work with. pg has to try and keep talking to kawhi over the sound of his strange lyricless music playing#pg needs his suit kept dustfree bcs itll tickle his nose and kawhi could care less abt that etc etc u know what i mean??#idk i feel like demar lol anyways tho thanks for asking anon!!! this was rlly fun!!#ted tumbunity things#i hope u get what i mean? idk if i do lol#lebron

MTW so sorry to hear you are struggling with health issues. Has any doctor looked into whether or not your stomach is absorbing nutrients properly? Is gastroparesis the cause? My daughter went through this and I listed several things wanted to check on. This was a major issue for her and even required weekly special B vitamin injections to help. Is it an iron deficiency anemia? I wish you all the best- sometimes need a 2nd or 3rd opinion helps esp if not improving. Do take care!
thank you very much, I have an appointment in March. We are going to check this area precisely.

Room-Temperature with Boiling Water in the Corner Takes
Introduction
These are some of my opinions about the system community that I think others will disagree with, even if it’s just slightly. In order to keep my account a safe place, I do ask that if you disagree, you can comment but do so in a respectful manner. I keep the same respect, so it’s only fair. I typically keep my opinion out of my posts, which is why I want to start off the year with this post because I know a lot of my followers would like to see them. I’ve put them in order based on how many people I think will disagree so the “cool” takes are more towards the beginning of the post. 
1st Take: The healing box shouldn’t exist.
The healing box created by the community is that you should work towards functional multiplicity without any fusion, hate your abusers, source separate as soon as possible, etc. This shouldn’t exist. Starting with source separation, yes it’s important and I will always advocate for people to do it. However, introjects split for a reason and forcing them to separate from source before they’re ready is dangerous. I am very against source calls, even if this is the case, but source separation will often happen naturally by discovering hobbies outside of the source’s hobbies, making friends, discovering more about yourself as a person, etc. These are all steps in source separation and it shouldn’t be forced. On to the abusers aspect, you don’t have to hate your abusers. I forgive a lot of mine because they were children and didn’t recognize what they did as wrong. Some people do change, and it’s up to the person if they want to forgive their abusers. Forgiving also doesn’t mean you allow them back into your life, or that you trust them and are friends. It doesn’t even mean talking to them or letting them know you forgive them. Sometimes, it just means you’re no longer holding past actions against them. Finally, the functional multiplicity. Fusion is not a bad thing. It is a sign of healing. If a system wants to final fuse, it’s up to them. If a system wants to fuse some parts but remain a system, it’s up to them. Why does it matter if someone you don’t even know wants to fuse their parts? 
2nd Take: Fusion and integration don’t need trigger warnings and shouldn’t be censored.
Integration is healing. That’s all there is to it. You shouldn’t trigger warn or censor healing. As for fusion, I understand what it’s like to lose someone I was close to to fusion. I understand the grief of them not existing as themselves anymore and how they’re different. However, it comes down to how fusion happens. They can only happen after integration, which only happens from healing. By trigger warning and censoring fusion, we’re creating the idea that it’s bad to everyone we come across. That would eventually lead back to the idea of how fusion is healing. We have natural negative connotations for trigger warnings and censored words, so people begin to see healing as bad. (Of course fusion isn’t the only way to heal, but it’s still a way and shouldn’t be spread as bad.)
3rd Take: The community doesn’t have to be so hostile.
From callout posts, to fakeclaiming, to both aggressive and passive-aggressive responses to people who are wrong, there is so much hostility. It’s unnecessary, even in a community of trauma survivors. I know it can be difficult to control trauma responses and the fight response is an absolutely valid one, especially if someone says something that may feel like they’re fakeclaiming you (even if they aren’t). Sometimes, it’s important to bring up people to be wary about because they have a history of harming others. But there are callouts about small things, things that others don’t need to be warned against. There are many different ways to be a system (meaning how a system presents, childhood trauma is the only way to become a system), and while some experiences are universal, there are many that aren’t. Fakeclaiming does more harm than it does good. As for the aggressive and passive-aggressive responses, why? Unless they start it first, there’s no reason to not try to politely correct them or offer support. Overall, the hostility divides the community further and further when we’re supposed to be a community and support one another.
4th Take: Trauma work should be the goal.
I don’t say this as a way to tell people how to heal. However, trauma work and learning new coping mechanisms beyond dissociation is the only way to heal. Trauma work leads to integration, because you’re learning to work through the traumatic memories and emotions from them. Even if you don’t want to be diagnosed or medically recognized for whatever reason, you should at least attempt trauma work. (Unless you have and trying to work through it was more harmful to you than being as a system.) Part of being a system is the distress it causes (in the diagnostic criteria and you wouldn’t have realized to look into it without symptoms somehow disturbing your life) and it’s absolutely possible to no longer have that distress, but that only happens through integration because of how integration lowers the dissociative and amnesic barriers. It’s important, and I know a lot of people will disagree with that. 
5th Take: There is way too big of a focus on dating.
It can be nice to have a partner, to feel like you’re apart of something bigger, and to have someone who understands. However, it shouldn’t be your main focus in the community. When I first joined the community, there were a lot of matchmaker accounts. While there aren’t nearly as many now, I still see a lot of systems posting partner applications and it often seems they don’t consider the risks. It’s easy to find someone who knows you’re looking and get into a relationship quickly, before you get to know them. I’ve seen this turn into manipulation and overall further abuse way too many times, unfortunately. Overall, I think partner applications of any type are dangerous because they allow people to know your age, sometimes see your face, know your likes/dislikes, etc. all without needing to have a conversation. Another thing is the aspect of communication between alters, amnesia, trauma responses, etc. There’s also a big issue with dating only for introjects, because you have romantic memories with them, asking about sources before getting together with someone, etc. This romanticizes being an introject in a way, as well as possibly leading to stunting source separation. Finally, and this isn’t nearly as big as the other reason’s I’ve mentioned, some singlets learn to believe this is “dating disorder” when they only see partner applications. I know a lot of people don’t think this is true, but I’ve gotten a couple of Tells that ask me why I have “dating disorder” and I just felt like it wasn’t important enough to answer at the time. This can lead to romanticization and singlets wanting a system.
6th Take: There’s too much emphasis on introjects.
Kind of related to the last one, but it stands true. I know it can feel validating to have the same experiences as another system (such as splitting introjects), but the emphasis on them has gone too far. Source calls are dangerous, I’ve already said how and why (manipulation, easy to be catfished, just wanting a relationship with introjects, etc.) but that’s not the only way. I’ve seen people try to intentionally split specific things because they want an introject of them. I’ve seen people trying to split introjects in general because they want to be introject heavy. I’ve seen people shame systems without introjects and even fakeclaim them. You can see the problem with this, right? Furthermore, I say this as someone who has luckily gotten out of a similar mindset. I used to intentionally try to split introjects while splitting because of how many of us are fragments and if they’re an introject, that’s something they can latch on to for identity. I was scared of having alters I didn’t know about so I tried to use that as a way to increase their identity and know about them. This was extremely unhealthy (especially since it stressed me out more), and I’m proud of myself from moving past that mindset. I know it’s different for everyone, but the fact of the emphasis on introjects for every reason I mentioned above remains.

Action fans, this one's for you!
Detective Conan Movie 15: Quarter of Silence is very much for those fans that always enjoyed the above and beyond stellar action that we really only get in the movies (and maybe some specials)
It begins with a bang and ends with an absolutely gut punching and suspenseful ending that actually had me in tears with anticipation of how this was all going to wrap up.
And that's really saying something considering I can't recall another movie that actually impacted me in such an emotional way. (Except maybe the second movie? I'm not sure)
Like Full Score of Fear, this movie also presents another interesting new character that is reserved for the movie only. Touma, in my opinion, is a rather well written character for a child that has been in a coma for 8 years and has to adjust to being a teenager after having only his memories up to being 7 years old.
I can't say for certain how realistically the whole matter is done other than he would have definitely needed physical therapy to get his body moving again after having laid in a bed for so long, but it's a fictional movie and sometimes a lot of media doesn't find those matters all that interesting, so I'm personally just going to ignore that considering I'm really not watching these movies or the series in general for extreme realism.
Now onto the ratings!
1.) The Raven Chaser (13th Movie)
2.) The Fourteenth Target (2nd Movie)
3.) The Lost Ship in the Sky (14th Movie)
4.) The Time Bombed Skyscraper (1st Movie)
5.) Magician of the Silver Sky (8th Movie)
6.) Captured in Her Eyes (4th Movie)
7.) Crossroad in the Ancient Capital (7th Movie)
8.) Quarter of Silence (15th Movie)
9.) The Phantom of Baker Street (6th Movie)
10.) Countdown to Heaven (5th Movie)
11.) Strategy Above the Depths (9th Movie)
12.) The Private Eyes' Requiem (10th Movie)
13.) Full Score of Fear (12th Movie)
14.) The Wizard of the Last Century (3rd Movie)
15.) Jolly Roger in the Deep Azure (11th Movie)
In any case, I have to say, another impressive movie. I'm really pleased with how there hasn't been a major dip in quality after The Raven Chaser.
Too bad I don't really have high hopes for the next one. Not that I think it'll be bad, but considering the synopsis, this feels like a movie that'll be similar to some of the specials seen through out the series.
But, perhaps I'll be surprised. You never know. I sometimes like going into these things a bit underwhelmed. I'll end up being happier with the result than I would if I tried something that I was all hyped up about, feeling certain it's going to be the best thing ever.
And if I'm being real honest with myself, the sports centered stories do end up being pretty good usually.

I’ve just been thinking on Kazutora’s ranking of most to least liked members for Toman members was something roughly along the lines of this.
1st Baji  - Frankly, we all know this. I don’t need to explain it. Also because if I did it’d be a 10 page essay. 2nd Draken - I would say Mikey and Draken are pretty close, but there is a bit of an edge for Draken both due to the stability of his feelings towards Draken as well as the start of meeting them. Kazutora more or less immediately was positive towards Draken when they both met and admired the looks and tattoos. It’s true that parts of Draken annoy Kazutora in terms of personality -  but Draken is also the one who seems to be the next best after Baji at being able to handle Kazutora, and probably understand to some degree. He at least didn’t react poorly to Kazutora’s blunt questions when they were younger and actually gives an answer without negative connotation and chats with him. Plus, later, Kazutora was willing to meet up with Draken to talk and was initially welcoming of it till Draken asked to stop the fight. Draken also came and saw him after everything so that...helped a lot. Draken’s spot is more stable than Mikey’s, which is also why I decided to put it as number 2 versus the chaotic nature of his with Mikey.  
3rd Mikey - Again, he is really close to Draken to the point there’s no real difference in their spot. It’s just Kazutora’s like or dislike for Mikey varies at times than the stability that is his bond with Draken. He initially didn’t like Mikey though (and sometimes still clashed over the selfishness) and didn’t get why others did, until the incident with his father. At that point he began to understand and take Mikey’s serious moments (like his pain being Mikey’s pain) for being genuine. From there it was a rather quick upwards climb to the point Kazutora was willing to tease Mikey and really bond with him. But of course everything goes horrible wrong and it becomes extremely negative and then later starts to come back around. But then later on of course....he’s the only one willing to still chase after and reach for Mikey in Bonten regardless of danger. He doesn’t want to abandoned Mikey because he knows what its like personally and he knows Mikey isn’t happy. Out of everyone, he has no right to give up on Mikey no matter what Mikey’s done. That or bond in crimes if its a Kazutora Bonten member arc. Anyways his with Mikey is different because regardless their mental perspectives are very different, sometimes for better and sometimes for worse.
4th Pah - Really there’s not a LOT to go on for this one but we do see him chill with Pah both in the series when younger and also in some younger official art. Kazutora doesn’t have much of an opinion really. But Pah’s not hard to get along with.
5th Mitsuya - Again, there is not a lot to go on for this. I need interactions to figure this out to be honest, at least Kazutora’s headspace. But I do think Kazutora probably has the roughest time with Mitsuya for reasons he can’t quite explain or pinpoint himself. He’s more guarded. I do think Mitsuya’s quick response to being ready to fight if Kazutora wanted after he asked why they’re friends with Mikey did leave a bit of an impression, and they seem to be at odds the very few times we do see them directly interact with each other, like Mitsuya telling him & Baji to knock off talking about fighting the biker gang on the way to the beach or dismissing Kazutora’s comment on the uniforms being “damn cool”. So I think Kazutora really struggles to find any way to interact with Mitsuya and will avoid it. Dislikes being left alone with him when they were younger and Mitsuya is probably the least likely he’d be willing to see after juvie, whereas Baji, Draken, and Pah he would be fine with. But I do think Mitsuya probably could help him the best besides Chifuyu later on in the future. All thanks to Madi.

What’s your opinion on Oriol Romeu after seeing him play? I understand that this is his first game for Barcelona, but he was kind of just there. Obviously, here’s to hoping he will adjust and be able to adapt, but I was just curious about what you thought about his first game.
Preseason’s first game is too early to tell, our midfield was not that great in both halfs to be honest. BUT he look confident defending and very concentrated, dunno if on TV it was seen but in person he acts like a leader sometimes. Talking, especially with the defensive players. I saw, later, the stat that he only completed 6 passes but that’s not representative of his game bc we know how well he did at Girona. We need time for our midfield to get adjusted to our new players and for them to get adjusted as well. When we are in 2nd-3rd league game after preseason it will start getting better and even then it will take more time for it to look brilliant. Raphinha looked lost when he started and ended up being one of our most important players in goal contribution. This is just how football is. Let’s see how it goes. Hope he can adjust like he did at Girona.

Say goodbye to chaos! Hello to productivity with SchedAid.
Tumblr media
As we are close to our final pitching, we remembered and noted the suggestions and comments made by our instructor and the other panelist during the Business Model Canvas Pitching Presentation. 
Tumblr media
One of the suggestions made by our panelist was to add a feature that is more likely related to our main problem which is the time management or problems in schedules. So, aside from organizing schedules our group decided to add more features such as automatically import deadlines and other agendas from other application or platforms, booking system where people can add events or appointments through a generated link, provide tips and tricks to make most of the customers time, shows report and analytics to track productivity, and lastly, lock distracting applications which is optional. With these added features, we believe that this will not only help our customers to be productive, but also be able to use our app comfortably and conveniently. Also, it is much easier to schedule their classes, tasks, appointments, and etc. 
Aside from the suggestions and comments made by the panelists, during the lecture series that happened on April 19, 2023 at the University Convention Center in Central Mindanao University, we listened and took notes of the said lessons and tips given by the speaker. Each speaker has their own comments and tips, we learned and decided to apply these comments and tips which we know to be a huge help for us, not only in this subject (Entrepreneurial Mind) but also in our life. One of the things that we noted in the said lecture series was about Intellectual property rights and technology transfer as well as the copyright. It is very important for us to be knowledgeable and protect our intellectual property knowing the fact that we are producing an application and website. 
Tumblr media
Lastly, we let two (2) customers tried our "SchedAid" and asked for their comments and suggestions about our Start-up.
Overall, we are confident that we take notes the suggestions and comments made by the panelists, participants and the speakers from the lecture series. Applying those makes us believe that our start - up is useful and helpful specially for students or anyone who has problems with their schedules and time management.

"SchedAid" - 2nd Blog/Journal
We felt nervous and anxious when conducting our first interview. Making it difficult for us to speak confidently and clearly, and sometimes making it hard for us to remember what we want to ask. Also, the lack of preparation makes it hard for us to follow up on interesting points made by the interviewee.
Our group interviewed for the second time, in order to help us deepen our understanding and improving SchedAid to be a more effective solution for their problems and issues they've encountered, specifically in managing and balancing their schedule and mental health issues. Unlike the first interview, we were confident and prepared in our second interview, we created two strategies in a way for us to improve our interview; preparation and active-listening. By preparing in advance, we felt more confident and equipped to handle unexpected challenges during the interview. Paying close attention to what the interviewee is saying, asking follow-up questions, and summarizing what we have heard to ensure that we have understood the interviewee's perspective.
As we continuously processing and developing this application and website, we would like to analyze and gather more insights, opinions, observations, suggestions and reliable information from our target market or customers about our proposed project. We used the "Empathy Map" by Dave Gray as a guide to visualize the needs of the users of SchedAid. This is a collaborative tool to understand and gather deeper insight of our customers.
Tumblr media
GOAL
WHO are empathizing with?
~ We empathize for those who procrastinates and cram their tasks such and mentally unstable such as:
Students,
Teachers,
and people who work under pressure.
Do you need a tool that can help you to be productive? All you have to DO is download and use our application named " SchedAid ". This application will not only help you manage and balance you schedule but also take care of your self including your mental concerns.
Tumblr media
EXAMINING THE USER'S EXPERIENCE AND IMAGINE (what it's like to be them)
What do they SEE?
Based our interview, 9 out of 10 people have seen their friends struggle with time management, and they have also faced these difficulties. They've also noticed a lot of people who procrastinate and cram, those who prioritize other things over the task at hand, and those who try to "cram" everything they need to do in a short period of time. Finally, while some of our interviewees mentioned existing applications for managing schedules, ten out of ten agreed that they had not seen any application with multi-functionality to address time management and mental health concerns.
What do they SAY?
Many students are frequently late for class due to a lack of time management skills. After we presented our concept idea to our interviewee, they expressed a variety of opinions about managing their tasks on their devices. They stated that using a device is extremely convenient because they can access their schedule from anywhere and at any time, making it easier to plan their day and stay on track. However, while devices can be useful, they can also be a source of distraction and can sometimes contribute to feelings of overwhelm or burnout. It is critical to use devices with caution, to take breaks when necessary, and to strike a balance between work and personal time.
What do they DO?
Based on our interview, students either bring their Certificate of Registration (COR) every time to check their schedule or a saved picture of their schedule on their phones. While some participants said that they set an alarm for every scheduled subject everyday. Also, few interviewees confirmed that they use third-party applications for their schedules, others use the clock application on their device to get alarmed on time. There are many ways people do when they are under-pressure, 4 out of 10 of our participants thrive under pressure and become more productive as a result. On the other hand, they became irritable, mood-swings, procrastinate, increased their stress and anxiety, and difficulty concentrating. Thus, it is important to recognize the signs of pressure and to take steps to manage it in a healthy and productive way.
What do they HEAR?
The majority of respondents stated that they were influenced by their productive and good time management friends. The students felt they were irresponsible for procrastinating and cramming while their friends were doing well in managing their academics, time, and schedules. It inspired them to do the same because they were told that procrastination is bad not only for their academic performance but also for their mental health due to the pressure and stress that rushing their time and schedule, works, and daily activities can cause. Furthermore, their friends mentioned that they use a third-party application to organize and plan their daily tasks and schedule. Furthermore, other friends advised them to spend less time on unimportant things like social media and online games and more time on their goals, particularly academic goals.
EXPLORE THE THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS (that are internal to the user and not observable)
What do they THINK and FEEL?
PAINS:
People generally feel anxious, stressed, embarrassed, and guilty when they get late or miss an appointment. People tend to value punctuality and reliability, and they expect others to respect their time and commitments. Therefore, being late or missing an appointment can be a source of discomfort and social pressure, which can affect one's emotional and mental well-being. On the other hand, Poor habits can contribute to negative feelings by creating a sense of guilt, shame, and regret. We obtained various answers from our interview on the strategies they used to address these challenges such as, creating a routine, setting clear goals, practicing mindfulness, and tracking progress. With these, they can effectively avoid poor habits and develop healthier habits that contribute to their well-being.
GAINS:
If people are given a chance to go back in time, they tend to correct their mistakes by changing their choices and actions. People, specifically students, are spending time on other things such as work, games, social media, etc rather than managing or balancing their time and mental health. In addition, it leads to stress and pressure which will later cause a bigger problem such as sickness or mental illness. When these problems occur in their present time and people could go back in time and give themselves advice, people would want to prioritize self-care, setting realistic goals, establish healthy habits, taking a break and recharge, and also to practice time-management. Overall, individuals can improve their well-being and avoid the consequences of poor time management and mental health issues. 
We made changes and improvements and in this concept idea after gathering, understanding and learning more about the needs and insights of our customers. Therefore, this application should effectively help people to become not only productive, but also their time management and address their mental health concerns.

SchedAid, as an advance alert schedule organizer/planner with AI chatbot and mind/relaxing games.
We are now starting to move forward after experiencing the COVID-19 Pandemic, people especially students are now having full face-to-face classes than the previous years where they're solely online, modular or blended learning. We interviewed students from Central Mindanao University about what problems, difficulties or challenges they've encountered as a student during this full face-to-face classes. Some of the problems mentioned by the students are conflict in their schedule, time management, and mental health. Like students specifically irregular students which has more problem with their schedules.
Tumblr media
To solve this problems, our group came up with the idea of "SchedAid", an application with website to make students organize and manage their time and schedule. This application is very simple yet helpful for students and high in quality. Students organize their scheduled classes where they can update whenever classes are suspended. It will alert and notify them five (5) minutes or it depends on the users before their scheduled time for their classes. This will also allow users to aid their mental health issues or feelings through an AI chatbot and aside from that, users can also access and play free mind or relaxing games. Scheduling in a different method not only by organizing your scheduled classes but also monitoring your mental health is a notion that can be made. We will have our research and find reliable sources about what things to be considered in order to develop the website and application, which will be the SchedAid, where we'll introduce to our customers. It will be used and analyze the benefits and effectiveness of this application to the users struggling with their schedule, time management and mental health issues.
Based on the hypothesis, in order to meet the satisfactory of our target market, we have our method of constructing this hypothesis;
Strategic thinking: our group opinions and suggestion in coming up with a unique idea based on the problems encountered by the participants.
Interview: We pose possible questions and interview at least fifty (50) students regarding the problems they've encountered as a student within Central Mindanao University.
Gathering of Information: discuss and analyze the gathered information and data and research more information about the things that we should also know.
Understand our target market: observe and analyze who are the potential customer.
We created two options:
The internet connection or signal connectivity within Central Mindanao University.
Time management where students have conflict with their schedules.
Following the team's decision, we've chosen option two or plan B ,we have envisioned what application or what ideas we come up with to create to give our fellow students the help what they need. Knowing the students has going through a lot, this may be a good idea to recommend this application. This decision was not only with the intention to find and solve solutions for their problems in terms of schedule, time management and mental health issues, but also with the consideration of the knowledge, skills, and processes involved in this proposal. Our team are responsible in handling and creating the necessary things such as website and the application itself. In order to make this proposal useful, adaptable, helpful and profitable. In terms of profit, we will introduce and promote this in the market and find more investors who are willing to invest and earn at the same time. If the hypothesis failed, our team will improve, gives more effort and find new ways to make things better rather than giving up easily. In addition, focusing on lacking issues and problems of the proposed product's failure might be the solution.
Lesson learned:
Research more and gather more information
Don't focus in one perfective
Work as a team
Be one with your team
Learn in advance in other things
Improve your progress everyday

Life of a Paulinian College Student
When I first arrived in St. Paul back in August to enroll, I never really had big expectations of what my college experience would be like in this new school. There I was, transferring at 3rd year in college, where in fact I should have been graduating already. And so the several days that I was trying to finish enrolling myself and providing all the needed documents for transfer, I thought to myself “Just lay low, do my thing and let’s graduate without any hiccups this time”. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I thought classes started way too soon after that since it was the week right after the enrollment period but then again, who was I to complain. I got nothing else to do but study anyway, that’s why I relocated here in Cagayan in the first place. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And so the first few weeks went by, I had trouble with some classes since some major subjects coincided with others and even schedules were being changed by the professors too. The first month went by and I was starting to settle down and get comfortable with the schedule, the night classes, the commute, the traffic, and the unhealthy amount of SPUP corndogs that I’ve consumed for that one month only. I was getting adjusted well in my opinion.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
My classmates are a different thing though. The thing is, though I’m in my 3rd year, I have a lot of backlog subjects for the 2nd year. It’s because my previous school and SPUP had totally different curriculums so some of my units didn’t get credited for my new curriculum resulting in me having to take a lot of minor subjects. Also, other than me transferring over, I actually technically shifted my course too because in my previous school I was taking Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and it turned out that St. Paul was only offering the Bachelor of Science strand. I, for one, am not even looking to shift to a whole different course and so I just decided to take this option and shift to BS Psychology. If I were to be frank, I really don’t see myself taking a different path as I’ve already enveloped my learnings to my way of thinking and my perspective in life. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
In that aspect, I was enrolled in multiple major subjects for BS Psychology students that I wouldn’t have taken if I stayed with AB Psychology. And the most exciting part is that the head of the Psychology department, Ma’am Anna Hernandez herself was the one teaching some of those major subjects. I thought to myself how amazing that is, to have an accomplished and distinguished professor for those heavy subjects. In addition, our Abnormal Psychology class was handled by someone that is both a registered nurse, psychometrician, psychologists, and a clinician in practice! I definitely made sure to listen attentively in our sessions because Sir Fabroa would sometimes drop some very informative and applicable bits of knowledge to us either from his practice or from his experience as a board exam student of many different courses. I would always jot down notes and keep it in mind especially some tricks Sir had told us on taking the board exams. I feel happy that I was able to meet and have such kinds of professors in this school!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Despite saying all that though, I cannot lie and say that I did not struggle academically. In all honesty, I was not used to taking the periodical exams like in Prelims, Midterm, Prefinal, and Finals. I got used to my previous school’s project-based type of exam where we either construct a paper or anything deliverable but rarely a printed exam. In SPUP I find that the usual type of exam here was standard multiple choice, identification, fill-in-the-blanks, and even enumeration. I’m not saying every subject applied this to their exam style, but most of my subjects followed this way of measuring student’s performance and comprehension of the academic topics discussed by the professors. To be quite frank, I found it difficult to adjust to. In essays and projects, I had all the freedom to showcase my knowledge of the subject topic. On second thought, am I only saying all this to rationalize the fact that I score average in my tests? Are my observations and reasoning because of unconsciously sour graping? Perhaps. Perhaps not. But one thing is for sure, I don’t think the school would change the way they handle the academic policies and implementation just because some student posted about it on Tumblr. So, I guess I just gotta suck it up and get going huh? Anyways, I only have 3 semesters left before graduation. Hopefully I graduated without problems. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
How is it like being a Paulinian student? Though I’ve been one for 5 months now, I don’t think I’ve got the answer yet. Honestly, I’ve yet to fully open up to my classmates. I go to school when I have classes and when it ends, I go straight home. I’ve never really explored what Tuguegarao has to offer me, nor Cagayan in general. I think to grasp the meaning of being a Paulinian is to also take into perspective the vicinity of where St. Paul exists in the first place. The culture and tradition of Tuguegarao, Cagayan is what highlights the St. Paul value. This is because St. Paul consists of students, teachers, staff, administrators, and even visitors that embody the life of the place. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is why I have made a decision for the upcoming semester instead. I wouldn’t say that I’ve wasted my first semester by being reclusive, unsocial, and overall unwilling to open up and fully adjust to my new life here. This coming semester I plan to allot more time in school, staying in the library, eating in the cafeteria, hanging out in the Psychology Lab where all my fellow classmates hang out a lot in between classes, socialize more with my adings, take more pictures of the campus and actually, actually, nurture the thought inside my head that this is already my second home. My classmates and teachers are already my second family.

Hi! Im a very social and outgoing person, but because im slightly autistic probably, sometimes i communicate just to the left of what is considered normal. Mostly people don’t even notice in real life. I am horrendous at texting though, and it makes me really anxious because i sometimes feel like there is some fundamental bit of context that i am missing yknow? Anyways i am fine with people i know but recently i have been making a lot more new friends and my friend just sent me the number if someone shes set me up with and like honestly what are the unwritten rules of texting? And how should i say hi to this guy? Were going to go on a date this has been decided but like we have to plan it still and we have not spoken yet. Also what do you think are good first date ideas? I was honestly just thinking coffee
Well plenty of folks on the spectrum have success with dating, you also just sound a bit nervous.
If you ask my opinion, I actually think it's really normal to be bad at texting and there aren't really any rules besides what you already might do in person. I mean we as humans were never meant to communicate this way so don't beat yourself up if you're bad at it. Most people are and a large portion of smooth interpersonal skills are what we can do/see/feel in person, thats why the whole pandemic and remote school/work doesn't beat the in-person thing.
Texting someone in a conversational aspect without knowing them is almost a 100% learned skill. If you know them, that's when it's more natural and effortless. I'd say just go on the date, see if you like each other, and the rest will smooth itself out. Also let him know in person that you're not the best texter. You already have the date lined up, so all you need to do now is keep it simple and focus on setting up the date.
To say hi to this guy, I'd just start off with a really simple template using first names only and given that he is expecting you to contact him about a date. I use this message all the time:
"Hey <insert guys name>! It's <insert your name>. <insert your friend that set you up's name> gave me your number. Would you be free this <insert day/weekend> to <insert activity>?"
Then he responds and then you work out the time, place, and date. And then congrats, you've set up a first date. This message gets right to the point, get to the date asap, and helps you sound more assertive and confident.
As for first date ideas, I think coffee is great! Coffee, tea, drinks, just something small where you have public space to chat and get to know each other. More ambitious dates like hiking, dinner, movies, are really something you do for 2nd and 3rd dates after you've gotten to know someone. Getting coffee also makes it so that if you don't like this guy, then you can easily leave after you finish, but if you do like him, no one is bothering you with a check or timeline to leave. An added bonus to a first date is if you can find a coffee place near another activity like a gallery/park/bakery/etc. that you can just walk into if the date ends up going well and you want to keep it going.
