#but then all he perceives is people's aggression and that they're trying to control him AGAIN

It’s easier for my to picture Leon being a sub than Chris. But ohhh boy. The idea of having such a beefy soldier boy underneath me, trying to hold back his moans paints a very pretty picture. Don’t you agree?
MDNI/18+. NSFW.
Omg yessss anon, absolutely! In my mind, Leon is easier to perceive as a sub just because he's pathetic and it seems more natural to his character. But with Chris, I think it would definitely be a process involving having to break down his walls and get him in the mentality to be submissive. Let me get into some character analysis to explain this a bit better.
In my mind, Chris is a man of action, of discipline, and routine. He has put himself into this leadership role for most of his life since he took care of Claire and went to the military. He's often depicted as a leader, someone who knows how to handle business with or without a team, and he just carries himself in a certain that matches well with his physique and appearance. However, he is not an aggressive guy, quite the opposite. I see him as a loving sweetheart and softie through and through, and I love that about him in particular.
That being said, this mentality he has of being a leader and someone who needs a semblance of control definitely translates in the bedroom. He has a preconceived idea of how the roles should be, that he should be the top, the one to initiate, the one to control what goes on (with enthusiastic consent of course). It's not necessarily that he can't be submissive, but that it feels taboo for him to be on the receiving end when he's so used to doing everything else. He's the provider in his relationship, he likes to tend to his partner's needs and make sure that they're all taken care of.
In a way, those same habits from taking care of Claire when they were younger and eventually taking care of Rose after Ethan dies (I headcanon him doing that idc), reflect how willing he is to make sure those he cares about don't have to worry about a thing. Likewise, he believes he has to provide pleasure, and that he needs to be commanding in the bedroom because that's what is often shown in mainstream porn or what he thinks people enjoy the most.
To break him out of that habit, he would need a partner who can show him how things can be different, and that it's okay to experiment and do things that are not considered the "norm" at least in his head.
Now his view is of you over him, your hips moving over his own and keeping him pinned with his back against the mattress. His eyes remain hazed over, having a hard time focusing on looking at your body or focusing on the way you felt. Wrapped tightly around him, clenching every time you harshly pulled your body back down onto him.
Chris was a bit nervous when you said you wanted to take control, not because he was against it but because he's not used to being in the position of taking what is given to him. But when you were so adamant about wanting to take care of him, he couldn't deny you. He certainly didn't regret it one bit.
His mind goes blank, groans slipping out of him with ease as his rough hands hold your hips and guide you over him. He couldn't help himself from thrusting up into you every time you came back down, matching your pace with his own movements. He's lost in you, practically drowning in your body and he can't stop the whimper that comes out of him.
It was a new sound, something exciting that only made you move harder against him. Your hands went towards his shoulders, nails digging into his thick skin with every moan Chris tried to hide. He bit his lip, cheeks flush as he realized just how noisy he was getting. You bent forward, kissing him on the mouth and shivering when he whined against your tongue.
"Don't hide from me, baby. I want to hear you, got it?", you purred against him, and he offered you a hazy smile, squeezing your hips just a bit harder and craving more.

am I the only one who thinks the very existence of crossroad demons in canon makes it clear that selling your soul for someone else is not even something that's particularly unhinged? they have people out there making demon deals for far less than bringing a family member back from the dead lol it's just that demons are very invested in fucking with the winchesters and poking at dean's perceived neediness and vulnerability and his and sam's codependency. maybe it's just terminal deangirlism but I have never really bought into him being particularly needy or clingy I think he's baseline normal but everyone else acts like he's smothering them
Context
Copying my tags also:
Dean's main way of saving Sam is by sacrificing himself? And I think a lot of that reflects Dean's struggles with depression and suicidal ideation. Sam isn't the only one Dean has been shown to be willing to sacrifice himself for when he was at a low point. He was ready to die for Layla in 1.12 and he was ready to die in 13.05. Both emotional low points where he was struggling with his own sense of worth. 2.22 is a low point Dean has been building to all season. His worsening depression is very clear. 9.01 is simply... severely misinterpreted in terms of Dean's perspective. He risks his life every day. He stood between max and his mom in 1.14 also with a gun pointed at his chest
And yeah people in SPN make demon deals a lot. Sam says he tried to make a demon deal to get Dean back in 4.01, but no demon would deal. He also tried to re-open the Devil's Gate from 2.22 (which would let out hundreds of demons yet again to wreak havoc on the world). John made a demon deal to save Dean's life, and many fans don't even think he cares about Dean. Bobby made one, Bela made one, etc.
I could go through the whole show to prove Dean being a Needy and Clingy and Smothering person simply is not accurate... or, because I'm tired of making up people's arguments for them and proving a negative by going through a whole show is very annoying (and I am technically already doing that very extensively through a series of searchable tags), I could just say fans who think this way are incorrect.
If they don't think they are, they're welcome to give me examples of Dean actually being a uniquely horribly needy and clingy and desperate and demanding person who forces people to stay with him forever and ever because he doesn't care what they want and desperately wants to control their lives. I've certainly seen people try to make the argument before, but without fail each time they point to examples that are 1) not even remotely unique to Dean (and he's usually the weakest example and I can think of multiple for other characters showing behavior that is objectively more extreme) 2) presented in an intentionally misleading or mind-blowingly out of context manner 3) woefully (and often rather deliberately) mischaracterizes Dean's motivations.
Anyway, feel free to stream related tags I track:
#sams motivations
#taurus sam in the flesh
#In which Sam is not a helpless little waif with his hands cast over his eyes being carried along by the tides of the immutable sea
#sam the hunter
#sams moral compass
#projecting displaced aggression and scapegoating in spn
spn revisionisms
#demons lie
#youre such a control freak

OK ngl episode 10 if bucchigiri got me fucked up. Tw: for talking about death and grieving and depression. Mostly ranting, venting, idk I'm feeling a lot of things after this episode.
Maybe I'm overthinking because I lost my older sibling and then proceeded to go on a downward spiral I'm still kinda tumbling through, but that's what Ichiya's influence on Matakara following the death of his brother is reminding me of. I wonder if the writers intentionally meant for viewers to see his current arc like a metaphor for what grief and loss can do to someone.
Matakara lost an idol, a protector, a loved one, maybe the only person he could even rely on for most of his life. someone who he could turn to or who's support he could think of when he needed to fend off the "monster". Now he's gone and he's alone and the way Matakara is dealing with all that is grappling for some semblance of control. He wants that power, he's sick of being afraid, and he's choosing to handle all this shot with what's essentially unhealthy coping mechanisms (fighting, distancing himself from his friends, rejecting support from others, etc)
Zabu tells him "this isn't you" and Matakara responds like "isn't it me? Who are you to say that? You don't know me" and that hit me because that's how it feels like when you go through something that fucks you up (like grieving a dead loved one and having to handle that loss along with preexisting issues) and the people around you are like "who is this person? You're not acting like you" yes I am. You just didn't know me as well as you thought and you didn't know me as I am now, somebody going through losing someone.
But it is "you". It's still you, but now you went through something and it's "you" trying to get deal with it. This is "you" now. I personally picked up a few shitty harmful coping mechanisms that I'm still trying to unlearn because they gave me a temporary, false feeling of control and stability that I didn't have anymore after my sister died. Grief, depression, loss, trauma, it gets a hold of a person at their weakest and so they're desperate for a way to make it stop. Matakara was already dealing with his own internal struggles and I think Ichiya's goading him into fighting, abandoning the ways Matakara used to handle his own insecurities and perceived weaknesses (finding support in the bonds he shared with others, unfortunately to the point he was also clinging onto a false idea of Arajin and putting his brother on a pedestal, a big problem when Matakara is also trying to be like people who he's heavily idealizing and always comparing himself with) it can be read as a metaphor for someone spiraling and becoming self isolating, aggressive, and developing harmful ways to cope with trauma. Matakara is figuratively (and if Ichiya successfully possess him, literally) going to become someone else.

ok my brain Definitely isn't going to sop in any words if i try reading so i went back up to the start of 1.7 and i'll try later but here's my present scan of the blake thorburn psychological complex. he's, as we have previously covered on the pact time hour, a guy who is sooo distressed by not having clear bodily autonomy & physical + psychological identity--due both to previously discussed prior traumas, i.e homelessness, presumed prometheus event*, generally shitty childhood &c + previous & currently encroaching consumption/erasure of his identity by family legacy/by what he's 'supposed to be' under that legacy (rose?). and he responds to this matter by aggressively bolstering the identity he has constructed for himself--cf. 'would literally rather bleed than not shave and fail to maintain his physical identity.' i think when he says all this:
“There were worse days.  Days I’m probably never going to talk to you about.  Or tell anyone about, even if some people close to me maybe put some of the puzzle pieces together.  I’m not aiming for pity here, I don’t want it.  I don’t want to use this for leverage to win an argument.  What I was going to say was that I’ve been through stuff, before any of this, and I made it this far with my instincts.  I can’t and won’t abandon them.”
there is obviously the surface level train of thought he has going here that's "i'm only alive because of my own instincts and my own ability to take care of myself" -> "i can only rely on myself because i'm the only one i can trust to have my back" -> "i would be abandoning my only protection if i didn't rely solely upon myself unless i have literally no choice but to request help." but i think there's also a deeper facet to his control issues where he views giving up any inch of his autonomy over his own decision-making as abandoning an aspect of himself (the language 'abandon' is used!), as allowing his identity to be eroded by forces beyond his control. hence why he's like "Please please for the love of fucking god compromise with me" & then thinks "compromise" means "you compromise by agreeing to do exactly what I want and I compromise by undergoing the mortifying ordeal of having experienced slight resistance to my idea." this is not the first time he's steamrolled over rose because he perceives having to answer to another person wrt his decisions abt his own safety as a threat to his identity & it will not be the last ♥
from, like, the gender aspect of things, i imagine rose is used to being trampled over by men who are very deeply convinced they Know Better, and blake is very used to being a guy who thinks he knows what's best for him + cannot possibly trust anyone else to know. they're both in a situation where if the decisions they make as a team aren't right they're both kicking the bucket (or experiencing something Worse than kicking the bucket), but blake is very materially the one with more power & final decision-making capability, which sucks for him and sucks even more for rose. i'd say that i think tensions are going to keep rising over it, but i actually think it's more likely that it's just going to result in blake doing something which engenders Dire Consequences for him before the tension can reach a boiling point. rose's assessment that there's no room to fuck around and find out without Bad Things Happening is accurate--the horrors are not going to politely wait for him to sort his shit out.
anyway. tl;dr the fact that he is literally psychologically incapable of tolerating someone fairly calmly critiquing an action he took after the fact--not even stopping him from doing it, because she can't, but just critiquing it--means that he is going to continue having a bad time hanging out with her, a badder time making reasonable decisions (two heads are better than one and he is only using the one), and a baddest time experiencing the consequences of his actions
hmm. actually talked myself into having an alright understanding of the start of the chapter. fine i'll keep reading

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League - Thoughts
TL;DR: it isn't particularly good. Save yourself some money, reinstall Arkham City, get yourself some fun for cheap - and pour one out for another studio lost to short-sightedness.
Verbal diarhrrea below.
Game studios aren't monoliths. They're giants with feet of clay.
Clay is brittle by default, so it follows that time wouldn't be favorable to something as complex as a game studio's structure. People leave, leads change, priorities shift, success lands you under the watchful eye of AAA developers with very specific success metrics - and increasingly - decisions come from top-down. What eventually started as "Let's honor the IP to the best of our ability" turns into "Let's wrangle the IP to fit the perceived needs of the market".
It wouldn't be that bad if the bean-counters had a decent sense of perspective. If Suicide Squad had been pitched as an alternate take or a deliberate departure heralding something more true-to-form, then I suspect the overall reception would've been kinder. It wasn't, though. Someone, somewhere at WB Games clearly thought that what the Arkhamverse needed after the open-ended epilogue of Arkham Knight was Harley Quinn busting a cap in Batman's ass - permanently.
Back in 2022, Sefton Hill and Jaimie Walker left the studio they'd created, citing internal conflicts. That should've been enough to signal to the market that Rocksteady was changing, going from a story-focused developed to another Live Service provider with some truly baffling design choices for their ongoing content. Kill the Justice League isn't quite as bad as Redfall - it's at least mechanically functional and properly optimized - but it sacrifices everything that played to Rocksteady's strengths for a me-too design structure - and a complete miss of the better, more effective ways to leverage Amada Waller's volatile little quartet.
I'm reminded of Volition Studios, for instance, and of Saints Row - especially in the later entries. Cheerfully antisocial behavior is the name of the game, here, and you're expected to laugh at characters designed from the ground up to be comedically brutal, but the structure gives them all the same basic move set with only traversal-related perks that distinguish them. You're supposed to laugh at flashy mass-murderers, and all that offers them a clear sense of personality is kept to cutscenes - as everything else is obviously server-based. Mechanically, it's simply and fundamentally unimpressive. Not bad by any stretch of the imagination - but bland.
Of course, the central pitch was always going to be controversial: Brainiac's taken Metropolis hostage and has hijacked the Justice League's members to use them as his frontline henchmen, and Waller's band of repropbates are implausibly the only ones tough enough to not only reach the city, but stop the alien's aggressive attempt at conversion. If you're familiar with Brainiac, his whole schtick involves the destruction of his own home planet, Colu, and his relentless attempts to terraform Earth into a facsimile of his lost home. Mental control is part of his usual repertoire, and so he manages to outplay even the team's terminal paranoid - Batman, natch - and leaves only a frazzled Wonder Woman and an embattled Flash to try and oppose him. Story events unfold that make it clear neither of them are going to be of much help, and so you're left with Arkhamverse regulars twisting their celebrated roles to fit the tone.
On that aspect, the game is far too eager to leverage the late Kevin Conroy's acting range in his last turn as the Dark Knight. Obviously, Bruce Wayne with his brain thrown out of whack by an alien turns into an impulsive, controlling and vindictive sociopath - enough to make even Harley Quinn pocket her smart-assery for the occasion, and you're left with a would-be nerve-wracking inversion on the premise that, well, the Batman doesn't kill anyone. Being briefly hunted down the way you, yourself hunted down Quinn and the Joker's goons in the first two Arkham games feels novel, and the second go-around against Batman has you try and find ways to counter the Bat's usual strategy of casting an area of engagement in shadows. The problem is that this is as novel as Suicide Squad ever gets. There's something fun to hearing Conroy really chew the scenery as Evil Batman - but it's always in the understanding that for most people, this is more or less a cardinal sin.
I mean, it's not like it's the first time that we've heard or seen members of the Justice League flip their banners, practically every decade comes with a limited series from DC Comics where someone wants to explore that were to happen if one of the company's tentpoles effectively snapped. The best one in my opinion would have to be Batman: Metal, where the series leverages its obsession on parallel Earths to show us a world where the Bat makes Joker come across as sane. The Batman Who Laughs was a smart inversion of the character - but it wasn't permanent. As far as the Arkhamverse is concerned, for now - it's curtains for Bruce Wayne. It feels like an attempt at an inspired twist, but it also feels like an attempt at a twist offered up by one of those bean-counters I mentioned above.
So the tone fails, the structure's a letdown - and the UI is a complete and utter mess. Previous games in the series kept their info sparse, effective and timely, whereas SSKtJL feels obligated to take the worst aspects out of the Live Service trend and put them front-and-center. Attacks result in a barrage of crit indicators, meaningless numbers, flashes, counter indicators - and all of it is lost in the glow of tracer rounds, erratic enemy movement - and the apparent need to oppose the earlier games' methodic approach to movement with every Streamer-obsessed kid's need for relentless, arcadey and twitch-based combat.
When the first screen that comes up after pressing Play is Steam urging you to use a controller to play a PC open-world title, you know something's wrong. And speaking of open worlds - there's nothing there! Metropolis' ruined expanse has no purpose other than to funnel players from Point A to Point B, there aren't any collectibles, no reasons to explore - and progression is wholly and completely focused on combat.
The overall impression I'm getting circles back to my opinion on some games being designed by executives. Previous titles wanted you to explore Gotham or Arkham, to assess the environment's character, to figure out your place in it and to carve it for yourself using precise and methodical means. They were made with the idea that you'd care, and that you'd spend months lost in this particular Batman's Gothic and moody realm. Now? Now, you're going to see all there is to see in a handful of hours, and then the execs are going to drum their plans, as if the efforts to turn Shadow of War's late-game loop into a persistent affair hadn't turned out to be a failure.
You see, you can't just wipe the floor with Brainiac and wipe your hands clean of it all. Nope; you have to do it thirteen times to effectively kill the Justice League. That means grinding the same zones over and over, and exposes just how little content there really is. They want you hooked, because up until recently, Actiblizz had its hands on a winner with Destiny 2. That makes WB Games see dollar signs.
So, you're left with a sign of things to come, really - and the impression that if you were one of those that braved the controversies and played Hogwarts Legacy, you can expect the sequel to tout the same end-game mechanic to further legitimize the first game's use of player levels and item rarity levels.
As far as WB Games is concerned, apparently, if it ain't a Live Service, it's not worth it. Tell that to the people at Bungie who were recently laid off, or to the people quietly let go from Halo Infinite's design treadmill.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League fails primarily because it was designed not by passionate fans, but by trend-chasers. The fans left Rocksteady in little bursts after Hill and Walker's departure.
It's a garishly painted-up corpse presented to you with the expectation that you'll only really get it if you lower your expectations at the absolute bare minimum and accept that you'll have to grind your way to a complete storyline.
I'm not usually one for hyperbolic statements, but the real victims here aren't the Justice League - some other idiot with a pen and a Marketing degree could figure out they'd better resurrect Conroy's Batman and the rest of the gang for the next go-round.
The real victims are Rocksteady themselves.

For the kinks, you and aeon 😁: 3, 6, 18, 19
hehehhe ty bestie <3
LOTS OF NSFW below the cut
3. Are there kinks you can see the appeal of but aren't into?
me: i'm pretty open minded but probably not that many? i guess feet? some feet are .. nice looking? don't get it though. i'm not really into super aggressive CNC, dubious is fine if both parties are still consenting. but i'm not really into it (i had a few partners that i allowed free use for, but i don't know if i'm really into it as much anymore, i guess it depends on the partner)
aeon: also probably CNC. ada's more into roleplay than leon is. he's also REALLY BAD AT IT. says out of pocket things but she's just like wtf and just rails him.
6. Are there any kinks you could hold a fifteen minute presentation on without time to prepare?
me: i just think that more people need to be educated on the whole bdsm dom/sub culture BEFORE trying to get a girl to be their submissive because they watched fifty shades or listening to some "alpha podcast" i actually recommend listening to GOOD dom podcasts but they're mostly gone at this point. i had one that i liked listening too but he was removed from tumblr and i haven't been able to find him again since his name was a pretty generic like "daddy dom" name.
lots of people not understanding that the sub holds ALL the power. and that the doms are ONLY DOING WHAT THE SUB IS WILLING TO DO. consent can be revoked AT ANY TIME
aeon: i just feel like leon's life is so out of control that he feds on ada controlling him in a sense. so probably just letting go and letting ada control and pace his pleasure. for ada she also feeds off that shit, she's a controlling and calculated person so to see leon so weak to her touch and so reactive to her gets her GOING. ada also just going on and on about how to tie someone up sjfkbsfkjsfskf leon's also too embarrassed to talk about kink that explicitly imo.
18. Are there kinks you'd like to engage in but can't? What are the reasons?
me: any that require me to feel small or little. any dirty talk that is demeaning or misogynistic. "my dirty little slut," is fine. "fucking ugly nasty whore" is NOT FINE. don't call me a "cum dumpster," unless i'm "your little cum dumpster" LMAO i usually find just adding, "my" helps lol but it depends on the person too cause some people- shouldn't try doing dirty talk sjdbksfskj. i'm also not into a lot of binding/ropes/handcuffs unless you're well versed in it. you can really hurt yourself and your partner if you don't know what you're doing.
aeon: for leon any that inflict actual pain. he wouldn't be opposed to a slap here and there on the ass, but never actual painful acts. ada wouldn't be opposed to a choke here and there but it could be triggering for her as well. so it depends.
19. In what ways has kink positively impacted your life?
me: i don't think i have anything specific but probably learning more about sub/dom culture and realizing im a switch. i like both sides and and i like being able to control the pleasure of my partner.
aeon: i feel like they're both are just sex positive in general. (not in the beginning for leon) as i think he becomes more comfortable a lot later on as i wonder if his religious upbringing (cause i always hc that he grew up religious) affected how he thinks of premarital sex. i don't care either way for the hc of his ex girlfriend before raccoon. he could've slept with her or not. it doesn't really affect how i think of how he still perceives it. he could've thought it was an okay thing to do- but it also makes me think of how he would've perceived casually dating in the late 90s. he never struck me as a sexual promiscious character so it's hard for me to think of him that way pre 2004.
i just feel like ada's used sex in some ways (not always just sex, but even just using her body to get what she wanted for her job) so she's a bit numb to things. whenever she's with leon, she actually feels affection and his non-judgement that the first times he's really affectionate and loving her instead of just fucking her, she's too overwhelmed to really process it.
when they've become more comfortable with each other, they play a bit more. using little scenaories her and there but it ultimately comes back to a more passionate session. lots of eye contact and holding each other. edging each other to have it last longer. coated in each other's juices and just keep on going. indulging in keeping the other in a constant state of pleasure.

Someone sent an Ask!
And the site ate it. Here's the answer though, you asked about my OCs and I appreciate you < 3
Right now I'm running a couple of universes for whump purposes.
One is a superhero universe, because I was initially confused about all the whump prompts I loved with "hero" and "villain" as placeholders, but also because I also love superheroes. In the Cometverse people gained metahuman abilities and a metahuman genetic profile by looking at a specific comet in the night sky that passed in the late 80's. The result is that a lot of superheroes are nerds because they were people that were amateur astronomers.
In this universe I've got a LOT of characters, but the two I'm writing with right now that people seem to like are Ripper and Robert!
The Ripper is a wary, antisocial person. They're in their mid-late twenties now and have spent the last ten years or so constantly moving from place to place, trusting no one, doing what they can to make money. They teleport by tearing holes into a Lovecraftian dimension that no one else can really perceive, and where if metal enters a portal it gets fired back out as tiny particles at very high speed. They can tear these portals from outside, but to actually transport themselves they have to turn themselves inside out, tear themselves apart, and rebuild on a molecular level each time. The rebuild is never perfect and usually leaves them with pain.
The Ripper is agender, and it swings between it/they, but that's not really the most important fact in its life. Some people in the Cometverse are so transformed by their powers that they're not really human-shaped any more, like the healer hero Aesculapius, who is basically a blob that shapes himself into a humanoid shape under his costume. Having a gender that doesn't match the one you were assigned at birth is fairly trivial.
Robert was secretly created in a pharma lab that was breeding metahumans with regenerative powers to harvest their blood in order to create the setting's most useful medical advance, an expensive and delicate compound called Factor C. He escaped as a teen with no education and knowing little about the world, and banged around learning what he could. He and Ripper have in common that he has also killed people for money, he just felt a lot less bad about it. Robert is curious about everything in the way a tiger is curious; he's pushy, aggressive, and mostly amoral.
The other is the medieval-ish fantasy universe that Aldo and the Wrath of the King are in, a "living weapon" story. Aldo is an orc veteran who was discharged because a leg injury resulted in him being unable to run as fast as a horse any more, and now, like many men who are ex-athletes due to injury, he's a bit fat. His wife died in that same battle, leaving him to raise their daughter, who is now also a soldier. Sometimes she sends a little money home to Aldo, who carries wood at the palace of the Kings and Queens.
The Wrath of the King was sacrificed by the Master of Sorceries as a child. A baby is carried into the temple, a secret ceremony takes place, and what he brings back out is now a combined entity fused from the original child and an extraplanar horror. (Yes, there's a common note, I love monsters and extraplanar horrors.) She has no name of her own, and she has grown over the last thirty-five years to be an exhausted, despairing cynic, feared even by the servants whose job it is to maintain her guilded cage. She lives in frigid, painful luxury that isn't hers and will not belong to the next Wrath, either. Magic bracers control her ability to use her powers and allow the Master of Sorceries to inflict pain at a word.
She meets Aldo because she's gotten less sensitive to pain over the years and the Master is trying to find a new way to motivate her to perform her social duties in between the military campaigns that maintain this expansionist empire that made her. He offered her a lot of pretty people and she chose the fat orc instead. She's not looking for a sex toy, she's cold and lonely. The two of them get along really well because the weapon is desperate for companionship and Aldo, at this point, really is too, long since separated from his wife and daughter and having no close friends in the mostly-human environment of the palace. Aldo has never seen her in her weapon mode, so that's something interesting to look forward to.
This ran very long! I have a lot of other characters in the Cometverse and a short story about a couple of them on AO3, but honestly it didn't do as well as Ripper and Robert's whump story is doing. So far people seem to like that more than the fantasy one, but I like them both, so I'll probably keep writing them both.
Thanks for reading. : )

Genshin Muses and Their Mental Health (Headcanons)
Apologies for the extremely long post it took me a while to write. I just got a little thoughtful of what my Genshin Muses may possibly have troubles with mentally.
If you don't fancy reading, then quickly continue scrolling. :)
Alhaitham - Autism Look his autism has kind of stereotypical media driven signs of autism like the super intelligence, his hyperfixation on his scribe occupation, and his preference is isolation over social interactions. He can find it difficult to understand how others think and feel, and often impulsive to speak his mind regardless of how others will perceive it. He is exceptional in finding patterns and irregularities within a situation, and always manages to be multiple steps ahead. Also noise cancelling headphones?
Arataki Itto - Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) You can't tell me otherwise. Listen to all that damn dialogue. Man is an utter himbo, and add in the ADHD to further his personality. Man is incredibly impulsive and unorganised in every sense of the word. He has one of the lowest frustration tolerances when it comes to his Kabuto fighting, can't concentrate on only one topic, but can be distracted by other stimuli. But in other situations he can be completely hyperfocused on a task like going to search for his friends and making sure they're safe. He also does not take kindly to stress and stressful situations.
Il Dottore - Anti Social Personality Disorder (Sociopathy) Man shows absolutely no regard when it comes to right and wrong, and blatantly ignores the feelings of others that are impacted by him. That doesn't mean to say that he doesn't have feelings. He can emote just like anyone else, but these emotions are very external emotions such as happiness, sadness, anger, jealousy, and so on. But more internal emotions like sympathy, guilt, etc, are definitely not understood by him. He will lie to take advantage of others, resorts to violence should the need arise, as well as being entirely opinionated and having a strong sense of superiority over others.
Lumine - Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) It was already bad enough that she has lost her brother in a world where she understood very little, with only Paimon to be her guide, but now she is thrust into so many dangerous situations and no one seems to really ask her how she is feeling. Everyone hears tales of her adventures and her heroics, but they never understand truly how traumatised and frustrated she is that she has managed to do so much and learn so little about her brother's whereabouts. As much as she has made friends over her time within the realm of Teyvat, it's not the same without her brother. Often she finds herself distracting her head with what she can do to help people, just to try and drown out that feeling of worthlessness and hopelessness she feels because she is missing her brother.
Neuvillette - Rejection Sensitivity / Emotional Disregulation (RSD) While RSD may be more of a factor within ADHD, Neuvillette definitely doesn't have ADHD. As a Water Dragon Sovereign, there's not doubt that he tries his best to learn how humans work and think and do things. Offering to help with the people of Fontaine through the judiciary system, and seeing all the awful things people can do to one another, as well as to him, it would start to weigh on his shoulders. It's easy to point out the rejection sensitivity because it's the idea of feeling physical pain and suffering when one is rejected. When Neuvillette feels these great burdens and feelings, the rain comes. The only sign that he allows to show that he is mourning and grieving the people he is trying to help.
Pantalone - Narcissistic Personality Disorder Man has a very high opinion of himself, going so far as to control the majority of the money of Teyvat. He can become very aggressive and controlling when he doesn't get what he wants, going so far as to hurting or even unaliving people who have disappointed him. He has a very hard time controlling his own emotions which is why he forces himself to smile all the time so no one can see that he is perturbed or irritated by their actions until it is too late.
Tartaglia - Bipolar Personality Disorder (BPD) Childe seems to display quite varying symptoms of bipolar, having elated and manic episodes when it comes to his favourite thing (fighting), but also dipping into low and disinterested moods when something doesn't fit his fancy. He is usually very upbeat and likes to talk constantly with the Traveler or Zhongli, and also has an exaggerated state of self and his abilities. On the other hand, he has been seen to be disinterested and feeling a lack of pleasure in this he enjoys, mostly when he has not been satisfied by someone else. He also shows a lot of restlessness and often has times where he is unable to rest or sleep.
Tighnari - Possible Asperger's Syndrome Honestly so many people believe him to have an additive personality due to consuming shrooms on the daily, but this has not hindered him in any way. He does not believe he needs to consume shrooms on the daily basis for any sort of fix. He does it to help figure out ide effects and write them down in his handbooks so others are aware of what can be safe to eat and what should be avoided. If anything, guy may have some form of Asperger's, but there's not enough to confidently say yes.
Zhongli - Depression This man just wants a really long nap. He's been through a lot and wants nothing more than to be rid of it all. He does not have any thoughts of unaliving or harm to himself, but he has become severely reclusive and unbothered by thriving as an Archon anymore. His encounters during his story quests have pretty much shown that he no longer feels he has any purpose or meaning to remain in Liyue, and the only reason he would most likely stay is because he wants to see how humans will thrive without him. When he knows that they will be fine on their own, perhaps he will finally give himself the rest he feels he deserves.

I am anon who asked about PT Anakin vs TCW’s. I am sorry about the quote. I worries about including it but English isn’t my first language and trying to write/translate long like that can be hard. Again sorry. Didn’t want trouble.
I guess I wondered what you think about TCW’s Anakin vs PT Anakin character? If you think TCW’s tried to make him more manly for Vader change?
Hi, no worries at all!!! You didn't do anything wrong and the first ask was really helpful for me discerning what you meant, I just didn't want to seem like I was shit talking because I have nothing but respect for people who view the characters differently than I do.
Anyway! To answer your question. I do find TCW's Anakin to be ooc/distinctly different from his characterization in the prequels, but not in the same way many people in fandom seem to. For me, what seems ooc is the way he speaks. I've touched on it in other asks, but mainly his cadence, voice, and informal dialogue feels wildly different than Hayden's Anakin and it is a struggle for me to reconcile the two versions.
However, it seems many people who dislike Anakin's TCW characterization feel that he is more aggressive, masculine, and abusive to Padme in TCW and that it is a hamfisted attempt to bridge the divide between his behavior in AOTC and becoming Vader. I don't have this issue at all. I don't find him more "masculine" and I don't think the way he acts in the Clovis arcs seem different at all from how if he acts in AOTC. I think this boils down to the fact I have always read his relationship with Padme as frightening and upsetting, where many people read it as Romantic and find his possessive and controlling behavior towards her in TCW shocking by contrast. But for me the signs are always there and the way he acts in TCW is a natural progression of how he acts in AOTC. In fact, for me, the most chilling Anakin/Padme moments aren't even in TCW--I find him scarier in AOTC.
Masculinity is also a strange qualifier for this discussion, to me. I don't know exactly what other people mean, but I suspect it has something to do with the overt "toxic masculinity" he displays in the Clovis arc (put in quotes because I hate that phrase and do not find it helpful when discussing the patriarchy and how it affects men's behaviors and socialization, but that's neither here nor there). However, just because his aggression and ownership over Padme is explicit in TCW, I think it's very much present in the AOTC, perhaps even more so because they're not even together for much of it and he's already violating her boundaries, acting jealous when she mentions old lovers, and pressuring into physical intimacy she doesn't want. I find there to be as much "toxic masculinity" if you want to call it that in AOTC as there is in TCW.
TCW is an attempt to show Anakin's slow decent into darkness in the time between AOTC and ROTS. But in my opinion the way Anakin behaves towards Padme in AOTC, coupled with the Tusken massacre, are both more horrifying indicators of what is to come than anything he does in TCW. It's really confusing to me people seem to discount those moment and act like the Vader Hints in TCW are somehow more extreme to the point of being ooc??!!
Over and over again I am reminded that the way I have perceived Anakin and Padme's romance in AOTC for my whole life is not shared by the majority. I sort of assumed before entering into prequels fandom that everyone hated Anidala and thought it was obviously creepy and abusive, and if they did like it it was with wilful knowledge it was a fucked up dynamic, or just a nostalgic thing. I have since realized that's not the case, and many people actually see them as Romantic and his advances as not inappropriate or horrifying, and also read Padme as wanting those advances but not letting herself want them (where I always saw her as being terrified of him and ultimately caving to those advances out of fear, not want). It's one of those fictional romances I can't separate from my own experiences with abusive dangerous men, and I will never be able to see it as consensual because it is identical to my non consensual experiences.
Anyway I think THAT is part of whats going on and why there are such different perceptions! Lots of people think Anakin is not terrifying in AOTC, and so when he's abusive in TCW it seems ooc, where I think he's abusive in both!

You know what boggles my mind…
… Horobi literally spent his entire life being manipulated and used as a pawn by pretty much everyone.
And then he gets blamed.
I’m sorry, what?

Why Jaime Lannister's GoT Ending Was Actually Bad
youtube
Nearly every aspect of the end of Game of Thrones earned ire from the majority of the show and book fandom, but one aspect of the show's conclusion that seems to have frustrated fans across the board was the ending for Jaime Lannister. More specifically, that after a seemingly solid and nearly complete redemption arc, he returned to Cersei and King's Landing to die in a manner that somewhat works as a metaphor but didn't resonate well with the audience at all. And, while Jaime's ending was a flop, it didn't fail for the reasons that many viewers seem to think that it did.
The Lannisters are obviously some of the most complex and important characters in A Song of Ice and Fire, but one of the most interesting aspects of their family dynamic is that it was established far before the contemporary storyline actually began. And, while Game of Thrones seemed to paint it as if Cersei was a source of toxicity that Tyrion and Jaime couldn't get out from under the thumb of, the truth is that the bad apple that spoiled the bunch was never Cersei, it was always Tywin.
One of the most meaningful and important themes of George RR Martin's work is the long-term effects that abuse has on children, and there isn't really any example that is more present and potent than the horrific effects that Tywin's abuse had on all of his children, and how it affected them in different ways.
Jaime, Cersei, and Tyrion all have some of the most intriguing points of view in the entire story. And one aspect that all of their POVs seem to share in common is that while nearly everyone in their world perceives them as a villain, they all see themselves as victims. And the truth is, both sides of this coin are correct.
Yes, the Lannister children have done many horrific, irredeemable things in their lives, but they have also been the victims of extremely traumatic abuse that understandably altered their outlook on the world and on themselves in general. There is a balance between victim and perpetrator that needs to be struck with their characters, but one of Game of Thrones' bigger flaws was its inability to do that.
Unsurprisingly, nearly every character's book point of view grants themselves more sympathy than they should. Almost everyone sees themselves as a better person than they are or is capable of rationalizing away their bad deeds and focusing on their more positive decisions and personality traits. But this is of course one of the many ways in which George RR Martin utilizes his POV traps.
Translating a story that is told through the eyes of the characters themselves and filming it from a more objective third-person perspective means that plenty of important information is going to be lost in that translation. But one of the fatal flaws when it comes to the Lannisters is that, while Game of Thrones does still present Cersei as pretty forthrightly villainous, the narrative pretty drastically whitewashes Tyrion and Jaime. Essentially, it seems to take Tyrion and Jaime at their point-of-view word and treats them like they're much better people than they truly are. Thus, Jaime's ignominious end with the supposed biggest baddie of them all feels like a betrayal of his character development when it really shouldn't be.
Every character needs to be held responsible for their own choices, but the downfall of House Lannister really does rest in the hands of Tywin, and Game of Thrones ignoring that fact did a disservice to every one of the Lannister children in one way or another.
Yes, out of all of the Lannisters, Jaime was as close as Tywin could get to the golden child of his dreams, but it's easy to overlook that while Jaime may have been the favorite on the surface, every single one of Tywin's children was disgustingly mistreated, and the effects of his abuse all showed themselves in different malignant ways.
While Jaime may have gotten preferential treatment over his siblings, Tywin was never anything other than a terrible parent, and more importantly, Jaime's superior treatment only told him exactly how he could expect to be treated if he ever failed to live up to his father's high ideals. And of course, in many big and small ways, he did ultimately fail to live up to Tywin Lannister's exacting standards.
Tywin was a terrible parent because he was an abuser, but he also raised his children with his own values of pride, entitlement, and superiority. Obviously, the notion that they were simultaneously failures who had earned their own mistreatment but were also Lannisters who deserved to be above everyone else is opposing perspectives that are in constant conflict with one another, but it also seems to be how Cersei, Jaime, and Tyrion see themselves as constant victims while still perennially victimizing others.
George RR Martin has repeatedly discussed that one of the strongest themes of his work is the idea of the human heart in conflict with itself. Game of Thrones lost the plot with this in nearly every character adaptation, but Jaime's was one of the worst, largely because he is a character who has done some of the most monstrous and most heroic things in the story. He is both the man who doesn't hesitate to murder a child and the man who stopped a king from slaughtering thousands, and therefore his inner conflict is extremely vital.
Jaime's character arc in Game of Thrones follows a classic redemption arc almost perfectly, but that clearly doesn't seem to be the intent behind the character in the books. Yes, there is a part of Jaime that wants to be redeemed, but he does often revert back to his more brutal and nihilistic side, and his desire for so-called redemption seems to be driven more by how he wants the world to see him rather than how he wants to be.
And in that sense, the show did him a great disservice. Because there are many ways in which Jaime hasn't healed from Tywin's abuse, but the fact that he still seeks the approval of others in a rather superficial manner rather than developing a deeper understanding of true honor and justice is one of the clearest indications that, while Jaime does want to get out of the path that his father laid out for him, he is still crippled by what Tywin told him being a Lannister meant. And ironically, Tywin's belief about what being a Lannister means has essentially trapped all of his children into trying and failing to live up to that example simply because they can't survive unless they do.
Because ultimately, it's not necessarily just about what Jaime, or Cersei, or Tyrion wants. At some point, every single one of them has made obvious indications that they don't want to be a part of the legacy that Tywin Lannister laid out for them. But, when Game of Thrones presented Tywin as a super-intelligent master strategist instead of a completely unnecessarily violent and aggressive asshole, it made all of the Lannister children's choices harder to understand.
Both in the A Song of Ice and Fire and Game of Thrones fandoms, Tywin is typically put up on a pedestal, and that's completely baffling. Many viewers and readers perceive him to be brilliant and badass, but everything that Tywin is famous for actually makes him seem like a complete moron upon further contemplation. Winning battles by absolutely obliterating your enemies is a terrible precedent to set for many reasons, but one of the biggest is that it essentially requires all of the Lannister children to maintain this scorched earth policy because Tywin's hyper-aggressive superiority complex has put them in a position where they almost always have to choose to kill or be killed.
And, his cruel and dishonorable behavior as well as Jaime's reputation as the Kingslayer essentially guarantees that even if Jaime completely changes as a person and becomes the hero he wants to be, he really can't ever become that in the society that he lives in simply because the stigma around the Lannisters is something he can't escape.
That is one of the great tragedies that Game of Thrones failed to articulate, and that is one of the biggest reasons why Jaime's character conclusion was so off-putting to the audience. Because the audience saw the result of where this character arc would naturally go, but the story never actually took the steps to get there. In fact, the show went out of its way to erase a lot of the obvious building blocks that are leading up to both Cersei and Jaime's demise that makes it clear that, while they're obviously responsible for their own choices and actions, the groundwork that Tywin's abuse and cruelty laid and set in stone was something that they couldn't control, prevent, or undo.
Game of Thrones largely presented Jaime's characterization with the implication that if he could only escape Cersei, he would be a good man. But the reality was, if only Tywin hadn't been his father, then all of his siblings would have been better people. They may not have been good, but they almost certainly wouldn't be the kingdom-destroying villains that they became.
I also think the TV series likely bungled his character in that his story is meant to be a subversion of the classic redemption arc rather than the straightforward bad guy to good guy story that Game of Thrones told. George RR Martin obviously doesn't like flawless characters, and nearly every person in A Song of Ice and Fire does good things and bad things all the time, they never go in a straight line from point A to point B. So, of course it was going to be incredibly jarring when the show did move Jaime in a straight line from point A to point B and then abruptly gave him an ending that is probably somewhat similar to his end in the books.
But with that in mind, for all of the faults in Game of Thrones and the way they handled Jaime's character arc, I don't really understand the idea that his character was ruined by his ending either. These characters are clearly designed to never be just one thing, and if Jaime killing King Aerys or trying to kill Bran doesn't singularly define his character, then going back to Cersei in the very end shouldn't either.

I sometimes wonder if Tenko would still have a tragic life even if Kotaro wasn't abusive and had handled his mom putting him in foster care better. Tenko's powers being what they are, i can see him still accidentally killing someone even with a happier family life, though maybe he wouldn't be a villain at least.
The tragedy of Shimura Tenko is the tragedy of the people with misunderstood quirks.
There are three main categories of misunderstood quirks: mutant quirks, destructive quirks and quirks that imply a form of violation of a person's boundaries or consent.
You have both Tenko Shimura and Eri in the first category of mutant quirks. They were both rejected by their families, and they were both taken advantage of by some dudes trying to use them like lab rats and weapons. Thanks to the way they were raised, they associated their quirks with bad experiences, which generated a sort of anxious itchy feeling. They couldn't control their quirks properly, and they were groomed and manipulated to feel like they were the villains, the monsters, etc.
Shouto and Touya Todoroki are in this category too because they were experiments of Endeavor to try and make a perfect hero. Both Touya and Shouto associated the experiences of their parents abuse and neglect with their quirks. In Touya's case it generated an excessive use, which caused his death. In Shouto's case it generated his rejection to his fire quirk.
Eri and Tenko's quirks, being new to society, were scary because people didn't know how to correctly work with them. That gave AFO and Overhaul a chance to use them.
In Shouto and Touya's case, they had either a "defective" quirk or a perfect quirk, but because Endeavor assumed he could control and train both, it caused many problems and issues.
In the group of destructive quirks you have a big range of characters.
You have 13th for example, who could easily kill if it wasn't for the suit. You have also quirks like Black Shadow, that become really dangerous to the user and the people in general in special situations. And you even have quirks like Deku's, who are a danger to the user and have the ability to have a great impact, because they are very strong and aggressive.
These quirks could interrupt the very way the user lives. Like Bakugo, whose sweat is nitroglycerin, or Tomura, who needed to learn how to live without touching with his five fingers, the reason why some quirks are accepted and others rejected is more arbitrary.
Bakugo himself has been constantly mistaken for a villain. All Might and Endeavor's character designs make them look very aggressive and intimidating, and they could easily give the villain vibe too. Even Izuku showed us how subjective the whole quirk acceptance is, because we all saw what the public thought about him when he dropped UA and was trying to fight villains on his own.
The reasons why some of these users are viewed as villains and some are viewed as heroes are kinda arbitrary too. Think of it like a knife: it can be used to cook or to kill, it's just matter or perception.
And finally, you have the quirks who have a complicated relationship with consent.
Here you have Monoma, Toga and Shinzo, the three big examples. In order for them to perform with their quirks, they need to take something from someone else. These quirks are naturally perceived as villainous because they're kinda stealing something, whether it is a person's will, some blood and form, or even quirks.
You know who else is in this category? Aizawa Shouta himself. Yes, because he is erasing someone's quirk, erasing a part of a person.
Now you see how even in here, it shows how the categories of heroes and villains are a construct. All these quirks are misunderstood, and because people fear what they can't understand or what they can't control, it's easy to them to fear people with these quirks.
Even with relatively good lives, people with misunderstood quirks suffer a lot. Why? Because people would discriminate them either way. And discrimination means refusing them proper conditions for them to develop their own quirks in the best way possible.
It happened with Shinzo, with Toga, with Eri and Twice and Aizawa.
Controlling the quirk doesn't guarantee either a good reception. If the people judge you look scary, there's a good chance that they are going to categorize you as a villain. It has been said time and time again on the manga and anime.
That's why Tenko's backstory matter so much. He and the League of Villains are the maximum representation of everything that is wrong with society. To try and erase their problems by simplifying the situations they lived in means making invisible the flaws of the hero system. It would mean erasing the victims, erasing the crimes, erasing the sins of a whole country.
Which Tenko needed was not only a better father, but a better society. Because his family didn't defend him. No one rescued from the streets. No one listened to his speeches.
And now Tomura is totally broken, to the point society has successfully erased even his identity, his own name. He doesn't know who he is, if not another soldier in a war or another actor in a play, another pawn for the powerful and another villain for the public to write their sick narrative of villains and heroes.
And no doubt, if it was for the old ways, it would happen with many more, not just Tomura.

I don’t want to sound aggressive but maybe people are not liking the human target because although it’s playing with tropes, it’s playing them with the wrong characters?
the crazy thing is that's not the case at all. it's not playing them with the wrong characters, that is.
look, i'll break down some of the most common complaints i've seen:
1) "ted kord is inexplicably an alcoholic"
purely untrue. ted is visibly weirded out by christopher asking for a drink first thing in the morning, christopher also purposely gets him wasted in a hotel bar to try & get a succinct answer out of him after a day spent going around in circles.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
2) "ted kord's design is ugly"
this has no bearing on the story. you may have idealized versions of your favourite characters in your mind but the fact of the matter is that ted's design without his cowl is so completely nondescript across time & space that nearly anything could be done with it and looking like the average straight white businessman isn't a bad call regardless of anyone's insistence on every character looking conventionally attractive
3) "there's no explanation for the way ted & booster's relationship is written"/"they're written as two dimensional characters"
there's no indication whatsoever that booster & ted aren't completely okay: telling a friend 'no' isn't a death sentence, neither is ted wanting booster to succeed on his own terms. the discussion of ted's refusal to use lethal force, reminiscing with tora, a degree of reality to his friendship with booster that goes beyond 'guys who get into shenanigans together' -- none of this makes for two dimensional storytelling.
but even if, and that's a big if, their friendship was on the rocks there's no reason whatsoever for the reason to be revealed to us. christopher chance is the narrator of a non-canonical, black label series. christopher chance is also a complete stranger intruding on the lives of other strangers & a history that is not his own. throughout any investigation a detective learns bits and pieces of the suspects' lives that he has no reason to follow up on. this is christopher's story and a revolving door of supporting characters, nothing else.
4) "tora is being sexualized"
tora's wardrobe looks stylishly straight out of the 1950s and her superhero outfit is the same as the one in justice league international. there are no lingering shots on her body. her proportions are not exaggerated. this is not the male gaze at work.
what is being perceived as her being sexualized is, in fact, tora having a sexuality to begin with. she's an adult woman flirting with an adult man, this is a normal interaction between two consenting parties.
i've legitimately seen someone say that tora is a "sweet character" who would never be capable of setting up or misleading anyone because her "naivety" and "kindness" are at the core of her character. while not untrue, the way that particular post puts it makes it sound like she's too immature and too stupid to plan out something this immense. and heres the deal for everyone with any amount of reading comprehension: that's precisely what christopher observes in the human target #4, too.
Tumblr media
throughout every interaction with some of her closest friends, tora downplays her immense power, her personality & her agency precisely because she seems to be aware that she will never outgrow the image of the sweet immature ingenue the world at large has of her. as far as i'm concerned, this is a fascinating take on a character's grown & development -- tora's kindness is still at the heart of her but she's grown up, as they all have. if her attraction to christopher is genuine then it's surely because he's the sole character to see her as a Real Woman
let me be clear, a femme fatale in 1940s film noir is an inherently deviant expression of female sexuality and these are the rules we're playing by here. she's offered a degree of independence other women are not, she's in control of her sexuality & how its expressed and therein lies the danger. for tora to have fallen into this role while still maintaining everything that's resolutely her (she's not a scantily clad seductress, no matter what posts claiming putting her in sexual situations is 'disgusting' might lead you to believe) is a fantastic character arc, she's taken control of her own life/narrative.
vitally, tora is also not in a remotely submissive position in her sexual dynamic with christopher. she acts rather than reacts.
Tumblr media
there's a pretty huge disconnect between 'sexualised' and 'has a sexuality'.

2021 Reading for BTS and the collective!!
Wow wow wow! I didn't disappear or get dragged away by a demon. No no, I just got thrust into unexpected shadow work and I now have an unhealthy obsession with sea shanties and a love of pasta.
I had this idea planned to be early in January but that didn't pan out so I'm doing it now. I have another yoongi reading in the works and another fun thing coming soon as well!!
I promise I won't bore you to death any longer but I hope you've all been doing well!!
Disclaimer: This is for entertainment purposes only and not to be taken as fact.
If this message doesn't apply, let it fly!
Cool cool cool.
Let's get it.
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Oki. I first want to say that this I gonna be long lol. I did a meditation and gathered some little pieces of things y'all might need to hear and then I pulled cards for every month. The fountain tarot deck is the cards for us, the collective, and the rider-waite cards are for bts. It'll make more sense when I add picks and stuff. I did a little extra card pull for yoongi for the month of May too :) I'll make sure to type out all the cards in text so you know what they are (the pics are kinda wack.) I also used my pendulum to ask if there was a bts related event for every month and that's at the bottom. It's just to take in the possible energy for the month and something that could result from that energy!
LETTUCE BEGIN (hehe)
Starting with the section for the channeled messages. I want to reiterate that this was collective so if it doesn't resonate with you, the message might not be for you! Use your intuition.
(Enough talking. Damn)
So. As I said this was through meditation and connecting to the big column tree thing (I told my cousin about the tree/pillar and they were like,, "so basically a big energy dildo in the æther?" .... I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT IT. h e l p m e) and asking if there was any messages or advice that needed to be delivered and it was... intresting?
Things came fragmented. So there was little messages like, "Its gonna be okay" and "things are changing for everyone" and "open your eyes if you want to see" (that's sassy.) There was one particular thing that was confusing me though. Straight up it was just "flower" on repeat and like a really bad picture of a flower? Like you could tell what it was but it was bad quality. Anyway, I was like "okay. Kindly shut the fuck up. Pls." And I wrote down flower, pink flower and rose. Sooo.... idk but there you go.
More messages were things like, "the block isn't in your head", "try calling forth that which you seek" and... February. Possibly there is specific (very very very loose) connection to the 10th-19th? I'm not to sure what or why but I'd say maybe look out for opportunities on these days and also maybe external events.
Continuing with dates. In the last this 21 and January 21 came up. It came up again but with 2 messages. So first, either 21st is a day where something is put into motion (possibly private or public) or announced and the second was "add them together dumbass" that's not very kind but 3. Again this has been discussed too but but but... maybe a signal of a third mixtape 👀 (not necessarily on the 21st per say but possibly in March? I'm really not sure).
Oki. I got side tracked like I always do and started thinking about tattoos and stuff and I really want koo to have a peony tattoo. I feel it in my BONES. It would suit him so well. and as I was thinking about tattoos I heard, "don't be surprised if yoongi gets/shows a tattoo this year" ??? What the fuck? I think maybe they messing with me but now I have hopes and I don't want them to be crushed and thrown to the wind :(
Back to normal stuff, "the theme is growth" I think that fits very well with the reading. "Blue might be a lucky color" self explanatory. It might be lucky. "Start practicing grounding and centering" this was LOUD. This will help you in how you react to events in the future. Really do practice this if you haven't.
This is where it gets a little weird. So, I got a message that said "start living as if you never existed." I am not a 100% sure what this means but I think I have a pretty good guess. I hate to make it sound weird like this but by sort of focusing on something that is so hard to comprehend (because our brains can't comprehend not existing very well) you kinda break the 4th wall? Like in Deadpool when he addresses the audience and is aware that he is a character played by Ryan Reynolds? anyway, focusing on something that seemingly impossible you kind of accidentally open up the floodgates for a lot of other things. I would say if you are not in the right headspace to do this don't do it but it can be a powerful way to break up the monotony of reality. The theory that everything happens simultaneously bc time isn't a linear progression events blah blah we are energy blah blah the multiverse blah blah.. Theres so so so so so so so so so much about this and how it applies to things that I could probably write you 10+ dictionaries worth of material but for the sake of simplicity and not wanting to write a novel right now, I will continue. The main lesson is to start challenging your perception of the world around you. Ask why and why and why and why. Essentially seeing cracks in the matrix. Pulling your head out of your cosmic ass, realizing that rose you're smelling is actually daffodil ect. It's not supposed to bring you fear but just kinda encouraging you to question all the things that you perceive as given truths.
I tried to make that sound cohesive but really it's such a big concept that I can't really wrap it up all nice and neat.
Oki. May and March are also important times.
Listen to your intuition and try not to take everything so seriously. I'm not saying to check out and go squat in the Himalayas but it's important to find joy in the now. Life is already tough enough so don't forget to watch a silly show that you like or change your hair to a style you've never tried, wear makeup in a very loud way. Just have fun and don't worry so much about things that you can't control. Listen to yourself and your intuition.
Well that was all over the place. Let's get on to the actual tarot part now.
Tumblr media
For the record, the pictures are right to left.
January for the collective
We have the empress, the sun, 7 of swords and a fortune that says "act well your part; there the honor lies"
Hmm. Ngl I was a little confused to see the empress and the sun for January... I mean it hasn't been great. So I pulled clarity card 7 of swords. The 7 of swords is all about betrayal. It's about the deception and and actively getting away with things. This is people lying, cheating, sneaking and the works.
This makes much more sense!! The Sun card is usually about joy and success and happiness but in this case I see it as illuminating the betrayal. It's shining light on the deception and keeps the spotlight there. Its also an energetic card so I think that shows passion for uncovering the truth.
With the empress card too I think January is all about getting creative in all forms. Creative ways to protest, to mourn, to celebrate, to connect. Also taking in the abundance that we DO have. The beauty that surrounds us. I like to think of aphrodite energy for this. Its not just love and passion and creativity but is also asserting yourself and having strong passion for what you love and fighting for it. Did you know aphrodite was also called upon in ancient Greece in times of war? She was honored as a goddess of war but still a goddess of love, the sea, fertility ect. What I'm trying to say is that being a creative and "feminine" energy is in no way weak. Sometimes the most powerful things come from this energy. Love aggressively with good intentions. The point is that you should take whatever you're feeling and translate it into something creative or something you care about. The fact that covid is still a thing really sucks but take any rage, hurt, sadness, joy, love whatever and use that shit to make something amazing. Bake bread and punch the fuck out of it, paint your frustration, play hopscotch in higheels while you listen to heavy metal. You get the point.
Now January for BTS!!
We have the death card. (I only pulled one card bc I have things planned from this)
January has been... strange? To say the least.
This card can be a lot of things for them. I think this points to more maturity in their music? Like they've finally ditched the "shiny kpop boy band" label and are being taken seriously in the west. I also think that they're going through a musical/concept transformation~ I think it also signified the change in plans bc of the Grammys perhaps they had things planned an that fell through so they were forced to rapidly change plan/course.
For January: possible mixtape or announcement.
February for the collective
We have 8 of coins reverse and hanged man reverse.
The 8 of pentacles reverse talks a lot about self improvement. Doing that good good inner work and self care. Working on developing parts of you that you've maybe neglected. It's also learning how to work with how you are instead of wishing you weren't the way you are. If you have a therapist its a great time to maybe ask for any extra tips that you can practice daily to help you even more. Maybe exploring more into insecurities relating to finance or jobs or your passions. If you don't have a therapist but you have the means to get one I always highly recommend. You don't have to have "problems" to see a therapist. Everyone could use a non biased point of view that is literally trained to help you be you best self. If you can't get therapy, I get it. Shits tough rn but there's still things we can do to better ourselves like Journaling and reading therapy blogs or self help books (not the taky shit) or trying a hobby you fell out of touch with. There's also a lot of places where you can get therapy promise on the internet. Most importantly, better yourself in the way that you need. Take time in February to take notice of what you want to improve upon. The 8 of coins reversed does come with the warning not to get stuck in perfectionism. Go easy on yourself and if you find yourself getting frustrated when working on projects, try to take a step back and practice whatever it is in a fun way and then come back to it later
Hanged man reverse talks about knowing that you need to chill but you don't. You'll need too. Maybe you'll find yourself swept up in work and tasks and you're over whelmed and know you need to stop and catch your breath but you resist. Why? Well, perhaps you're trying to ignore reality by filling the empty spaces with things and stuff so you don't have to face what's bothering you. Not wise. Take time for yourself. There's also the flips side where people are just kinda stuck.. creative block. Maybe you want something to turn out one way and it just isn't, so your stuck and frustrated and can't move past it. Let go of your expectation of how it should be and let it be what it is. Go with the flow and maybe you'll see a new way to overcome your problem. You'll eventually get that break through that you need! The theme of February is about self improvement. Listen to yourself.
February for BTS
We have judgment.
Hehe yeah. This card is about rebirth and the inner calling. Letting go of the old to step into the new version of you. This is also a very spiritual card lol. This can talk about a new decision that you have to trust your gut on. This is a very significant card that screams comeback to me. It also can talk about sharing your struggles with a group of people and that to me sounds comeback ish. Maybe this will be an announcement in February, maybe they'll be working on it idk but this is ultimate comeback energy so I hope they utilize this for a big group project!!
February: possible BTS comeback (even my pendulum knows)
March for the collective
The chariot and justice
This plays directly off of February! With the chariot you're taking the self improvement that you've done and putting it to action! Now is the time to act on the dreams and passions that you have don't wait and hope for the best. March is about action and standing in your power.
Justice card is cause and effect and truth. What you do will have consequences good or bad. Not doing anything also has consequences. Cease the moment and make the best of it. You'll be taking responsibility for what you do. You start a business? Now you have the responsibility of running it and you get the credit. Stuff like that. Stand by your decisions with conviction and trust yourself.
There's also the side of justice that talks about bringing justice. If you've been wronged, you'll be brought justice if you stand up for yourself.
We also carry the continuous lesson of learning what we truly believe and challenge those beliefs!
March for BTS
Oki we have the hermit and the 6 of pentacles reverse.
Well... let's start with the 6 of pentacles reverse. This can really talk about being so generous and giving to everyone else that you forget about yourself. I think that maybe they might be over exerting themselves and giving so much that they're exhausted physically and emotionally as well. I think too, they take on so much of our pain like its their own? Idk but this would be a good time to do a large scale fan project to show them a little extra love!
With the hermit card it talks about a self introspection so they could be looking inward as a team and kinda evaluating their bond.
I also see this as maybe being alone as in they maybe can't physically go to the grammys? Or maybe they had been planning the rescheduled concerts and they had to be pushed back even further? Things like that. Regardless this signals re thinking/reevaluating the goals that they have and considering what direction to go in!
March: possible mixtape or solo project?
Tumblr media
April for the collective
We have 6 of coins and 3 of cups reverse.
Let's start with the 6 of coins. It's about sharing. It can be about charity so sharing money via donation but also giving time, effort, energy to people as well. Giving knowledge is good too! It's an all round exchange. Maybe someone lends you money or you lend money to someone. It's give and take. It's a two way street. It's also a card of balanced finance. So money stuff should be looking promising around this time (for you U.S people this could point to more stimulus help as well)
And for the 3 of cups reversed... I see this as reopening of places and people struggling to find the balance. So think people who've been in lockdown celebrating by throwing a big party... yikes. This card reminds that we should be mindful of the long-term consequences that come with our actions.. maybe also people that are experiencing fear of being in public places now. This is only one facet though. Bc I think this also means in general, missing being with friends and having a renewed relationship because you've really realized how important it is to have these people that mean so much to you in your life. Don't forget that you have people that love you and want the best for you. Call them when you feel alone.
April for BTS
The heirophant
Mhmm. This one kinda gives me vibes that they'll be mentoring people? Idk but I see them more as the heirophant teaching what they've learned/ know to help guide others. HOWEVER this could also be them taking a new task under their belt. Learning something new. Since this is as a group reading I assume that this talks about the group as a whole. This card is also very tradition oriented so maybe they are taking lessons that are connected to traditional Korean culture? Maybe its for RUN or maybe its to incorporate into music and preformance. Think bts mma preformance but all of them learning together? Idk, it's just a thought (maybe wishful thinking). It also talks about seeking counseling so maybe they'll do yoongis idea from the most recent RUN.
This can also be them embracing this kind of leadership/ status.
April: I got nothing. It does feel like something though
May for the collective
Five of cups and queen of cups reversed
Five of cups is disappointment, regret and self pity. Now honestly this to me looks like possibly a tightening of restrictions yet again. Regardless of the situation that this is talking about, the best thing you can do is not wallow in the bullshit. You scrape yourself off the pavement and move foward. You'll need forgiveness of yourself and others and that if shit isn't going your way, you need to pull your head out of your ass and look around bc there's options out there. It's like drowning in a kiddie pool. Just stand up, dude. The water is like 5 inches.
Queen of cups reversed talks about self love and self care. It's more of that look inwards energy. Think about really taking care of yourself. May might be emotionally draining so you need to be ready to take care of you! Part of self care is making sure that your boundaries are well enforced.
Be on the look out for codependent behaviors. Check in with yourself.
The queen of cups is very intuitive and having it in reverse can talk about you not taking enough time to listen to it. Make an effort to meditate for like 5 minutes a day at least. Do something to let yourself connect to your intuition and higher self.
May for BTS
9 of pentacles
This about enjoying the fruits of your labor and absolute abundance and luxury. This could talk about them rolling in the dough after signing a new partnership or having a concert or something if the sort. This could also be a time where we see them buying new things like houses, cars and rings (lol) but also this could be them doing a very high production value project! Also namjoon and his bonsai army are thriving in this time!
May: possible concert or scheduled concert event. Activity of some kind.
Yoongi interlude
I asked for one card to give me an idea of what the mystical May 13th really is. I got: the star, 2 of cups, 4 of wands, the world and the sun.
Guys. I can't with this. 2 of cups is a card of union, romance, soulmate. 4 of wands is celebration, joy, homecoming, bliss. The world is completion and the sun is happiness, joy, marriage, enlightenment.
I've said it a billion times but that's some soulmate shit. So soft so cute and May will be eventful for his personal life.
Tumblr media
June for the collective
Death and the heirophant reversed.
Wow wow wow death is transformation and a new chapter so a new way of life and something new/ different that changes how we see things. Again this could be relating to new covid things and new policies and stuff like that but also new as in new to all of us. Groundbreaking perhaps?
The heirophant reversed talks about teaching yourself. Being your own teacher and making your own path. This might be spiritual or otherwise. Challange what the world wants from you and instead listen to what you truly want bc you don't need anyone's approval. Continue to ask questions about why things are the way that they are.
June for BTS
Page of pentacles
Oki oki page of pentacles means a new creative venture and manifestation. Maybe something that they've been wanting for a while finally comes to fruition. This might be the start of a new project that they haven't done before or something cross genre? Idk but its a really good sign of being motivated for a new endeavor and manifesting any projects that they've ever wanted to do. Love this promising energy!!
June: idk
July for the collective
10 of swords and 9 of cups reversed.
10 of swords signals a painful ending. Also deceit. Its a necessary end to a long battle. The only thing you can do is control how you react in these situations. You just kinda gotta surrender into the pain and know that it's temporary. Take time to reflect on what happened and why and how it will help you grow.
The 9 of cups reversed talks about valuing stuff and material things over emotions and spiritual things. This can be talking about society in general, that we are becoming more aware to the fact that there is often more value placed on ephemeral items rather than humanity as a whole. This also can be talking about coming to the realization that we've been working so hard towards... something we don't really care about simply because we were told that it's what you do.
If you want something different to happen you have to put in effort. You can't be sitting in front of a water fountain being like, "damn. I'm thirsty. I really really want water so why isn't it in my mouth yet?" Like?? Hello? You have to take the first step, my dude.
Certainly don't try to do anything that would cost you finatial security or health.
You have the potential to find happiness within yourself. So try looking inside instead of looking outward.
July for BTS
4 of swords.
This is about rest and relaxation!
Taking time to meditate and take some time to look at what you've done objectively. Ots like the hermit in a way but much more focused on resting and relaxing so you can come back stronger and with better direction. Maybe they'll take a break for a couple days but I really see it as them reassessing options. Especially if July goes how I think it will. Maybe they'll film something like In The Soop again? Maybe we'll see bon voyage type thing? Idk. But it could be something kinda out of the spotlight? Maybe something more healing?
July: maybe something?? I'm not sure but it seems like something might be in store.
August for the collective
5 of coins and the wheel of fortune
Well let's see. 5 of pentacles talks about isolation and a negative mindset. This talks about falling on hard times but its a temporary set back. This energy can be talking about falling on hard times emotionally as well. In the card it shows a woman outside of a church shivering and cold but she's too busy thinking about all that she's lost that she doesn't notice the warm church that she could step into for shelter.
But then with he wheel of fortune that talks about fate/destiny, opportunity and luck so maybe this is a necessary loss so that a new door can open. This does kinda tie in with July as well. The end of something is painful but it's often a necessary thing. Might be a bit uncomfy but that's how things change. Again I see this maybe hinting more towards society but none the less it's definitely a theme for August to have doors closing and new ones opening so be on the lookout for that.
August for BTS
The devil.
Now don't fret. The devil talks a lot about choice. Most notably the choice between instant gratification and and something more substantial and the devil leans towards indulgence. It also has a lot to do with the shadow side. This could talk about ~scandal~ sure, but I think its more of a time where you become aware of negative patterns and you shine a light on that part you've ignored. On a much lighter note this card talks also about an incredible bond between people. It can be unhealthy if not given space or boundaries. Listen to pied piper and come back to me.
I also REALLY REALLY REALLY hope that this card points to this: sexuality. The boys have always been pretty pg when it comes to the topic of sex and embracing sexuality so I really do hope to see something more daring and grown up and exploring a tastefully sexy concept. On the same vain as sexuality this card also talks about kinks and stuff like that so don't be surprised if we get more outfits like fake love Era bondage harnesses.
August: ???
Tumblr media
September for the collective
We have the world and 10 of wands reversed.
The 10 of wands reversed talks about carrying burden. Doing extra work and taking on more responsibility. Doing everything by yourself and carrying this heavy load alone will get you burnt out quicker than anything. You might be taking on too much and you'll need to prioritize what you really need to focus on. I also think there will just be a lot happening in September for a lot of people. It's a lot of working hard because you know it's good work or because it's what's right. This could be social responsibility that's placed on you or work responsibility. For whatever reason this burden isn't something you want to share with others because you think its yours alone to deal with. It's not though bc you'll figure out eventually that if it hurts so much you'll find a way to lessen the burden. 10 in tarot is all about the completion of a cycle and going through the wands cycle is hard work because for anything to be made of passion, you need to put the work behind it. The burden isn't forever, the heavy work load will lighten but this is you seeing things out. It's a good thing!
Especially considering this is paired with with world. The world is all about completion and that's what you're doing here is finding completion. You are seeing things out until the end but you just need to learn to give up some responsibility, lessen your burden.
This also talks about hard work being put into wider social spheres as well. Things like the vaccines becoming more widespread through the whole globe or at least better planing and infrastructures not related to covid. Things are looking up!
September for BTS
Knight of swords reverse
This bad boi is restless energy. It's being so pent up that you're ready to burst and you really want to take action but you can't because something is keeping you from taking that action. Again I do think this is kinda covid related in regards to touring bc if they do tour in 2021 its gonna look a lot different. This energy can be a bit impulsive and directionless so I think maybe they'll channel this into album material something? I'm not really sure tbh. I'm suprised this energy didn't show up earlier because it almost seems inevitable.
September: no clue
October for the collective
Ten of coins and the star reverse.
Welp let's start with the 10 of coins. Its about wealth, financial security, and long term success so this is a pretty prosperous time. This talks about the obvious monetary wealth and material wealth but also an abundance of opportunities. So this is definitely a good time to enjoy whatever consistency you have. This energy is really really abundant in the career space as well. So October could be very prosperous in the job field and you'll have likely found what it is you really want and could be successful at. This could be the actual act or just the idea. This is could also talk about investing in something for your future, this could be time or money.
With the star reversed it can talk about a loss of faith and a disconnection. This often points to feeling like you've just been forgotten or left out. Like the universe doesn't give a shit about you and left you out to die. Things might seem unfair but always try to look for the lesson that you can take from the experience. Seeing the 10 of coins and the star makes me think that a lot of people have kinda lost faith in their manifestations and also just in the concept of not living in a state of need. Especially if you see other people doing well and you've been trying so fucking hard but you haven't gotten a break. I know we hate to hear it but this can serve as a test of faith. Or rather an opportunity to get your shit in line and take a second to breath. Do something good for yourself and then continue on. This star in reverse serves to show you what no longer sparks joy and helps you find what does and what that initial spark was in the first place. Helps you get back to the original vision/ spark.
October for BTS
5 of pentacles reverse.
This signals the end of difficult times and getting that groove back. The last month was restless energy with no where to go but this month that energy is certainly put to good use. They might be figuring out what has been missing In their lives and starting to rectify that. They are definitely reminded that material wealth doesn't bring spiritual or emotional wealth. Might be also feeling a bit alienated too.
October: something is likely but idk
November for collective
Six of swords reversed and the moon.
Transition and change is prevalent. The 6 of swords is about leaving behind the familiar. Maune this is leaving a job, a new change in the status quo, leaving a relationship ect. The thing you have to keep in mind is just how amazing this is in terms of what it will do. It will alow growth!! And bring clarity!! Thos can also be societal as well, something being left behind in favor of something new. It's letting go and reflecting so that you can move foward.
This is strengthened by the moon card. The moon card is the subconscious and all the things that come with it. The anxiety, the illusion, the uncertainty. You'll want to deal with whatever emotions come up. The moon can signify a confusing time where things aren't what they seem to be. That's the illusions so you'll have rely more on intuition at a time like this. Your dreams might hold significance in this time as well. Listen to your guides and your own guidance because it will help you understand more than you did before this journey began. Using moon cycles to your advantage in November might really help you!!
November for BTS
7 of wands
Challenge and competition. People are envious of bts. We know this. But people will be challenging them for what they've gained: music industry domination. This might co.e in the way that people will spread vicious rumors in attempt to disenfanchise or possibly it will be a fair fight. It could also be a challenge/ battle for some other aspect that involves legal matters.
My best guess though is good old competition. Bts has proven again and again that they will continue to do what they do how they do but they will not be trampled over. In the best way this could renew some of that spirit in friendly competition. They will tear eachothers throats out for a pack of ramen so maybe a bit of competition will be good for them. It keeps life intresting.
November: nothin
December for the collective
Two of cups and the emperor!
Let's start off with the emperor card talks about stability and order. It can also signify being the "breadwinner" so its a good sign that you'll kinda be on top of your shit. The emperor is also an amazing leader so you might find yourself taking on a leadership role too! This is very organized energy that works very smoothly!
two of cups is such a lovely way to end out the year! It's love and partnership and attraction so if you aren't in a relationship by this time you might meet someone who strikes your fancy!! On a none romantic relationship note though, this card is also great for business partnership bc it signifies that you're on the same page and have the same goals in mind!
It's harmonious relationships and trust between them!! Love love love this energy so much! Cups are the suit of emotions and this card is so promising.
If you are in a relationship, this can talk about "falling in love all over again" like you're just reminded of how good they are.
December for BTS
Queen of cups
Intuition, creativity and emotional stability. They're using intuition to guide their moves foward with emotional maturity. They are in a place of knowing what they want and why. This would be a good time to work on an album or a book or to release them. The queen of cups is like the friend that you can tell absolutely anything and somehow they have a helpful answer. This card is really calm and it can also talk about subconscious thoughts.
I think that bts is maybe making more of a conscious effort to make sure that what they do is just as emotionally fulfilling for them as it is for us! They might be kinda pondering the future at this time and considering if this is what fills their emotional cup!
December: possibly a thing?
Tumblr media
Now these cards are the vibe of the year and some advice.
For the collective (on the left)
Three of swords and judgment reverse.
The fortune says "accept the challenges, so that you may feel the exhilaration of victory"
The 3 of swords is about disappointment and hurt and heartbreak. It's about the emotional release that we all need when shit gets tough. Don't pretend to be strong. If you need to cry, fucking cry. This year is about letting go of expectations and do what you have to do to release so you can move foward and not have these things pile up.
You have to make an effort to not let yourself take on what other people think of you. You aren't defined by what some asshole says. You define yourself.
Judgment reverse is about self doubt and ignoring your path. It's being stagnant and being harsh on yourself. This year has a focus on building yourself up and noticing when you are not. Bring light to the things that are holding you back without harsh judgment for yourself. You can't beat yourself up. If you make a bad decision you know not to make it again. Take accountability and move on.
The oracle card is inner temple.
Seriously all the focus of this year is in self improvement and dear god, please take time to work on yourself spiritually!!! Everything you want to know is there if you take the time to listen. This should be a place where you feel safe and welcome. It definitely should not feel like something you HAVE to do.
For BTS
10 of swords and page of swords
The fortune says "you create your own stage. The audience is waiting" (how tje fuck?? This is the perfect fortune)
The 10 of swords is a painful but necessary end. This is accepting the current situation. They maintain focus for 2021 for them is adapting and keeping their spirits up.
With the page of swords it talks about new ideas and that kind of creativity. It's also a lot about communication so I really think that they'll be figuring out new ways to connect and new projects that will be prosperous.
The oracle card is Pleiades
This is what we talk about all the time. Bts has helped so many people want to be better and do better. They are uplifting humanity and giving people a sense if belonging. Bts finds you when you need them most 💜💜💜
Tumblr media
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wow I had to write this up over 2 days bc this was so fucking long. I need a nap. Idk if I'll proof read this before I post it so don't hate me for the mistakes (honestly, there's like 10,000 spelling and grammar mistakes in my other posts too 🙃)

Keep in mind that this might be inaccurate considering the information given is not canon, but from google. There will be no house readings since I can't even get a hold of his actual birth time so there is no rising sign (This is Eren's chart and how he would be if he were real, so don't take everything as factual)
𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐒𝐓 𝐎𝐅𝐅
Big 5 Analysis
- SUN IN ARIES. Your sun defines your ego, core identity, your authentic self and in my personal opinion it's not really an important placement in the chart, and more of a title basically. People born into Aries are usually perceived as loud, impulsive, raging and aggressive by others— but they're very caring and protective to the ones they love, though sometimes they sure can have bursts of anger. Eren is stubborn, he can't be chained down and refuses to sit back and watch the people he cares about get tossed around. He is a firm person, quick on his feet and rather very rushing, he's like a puppy excited to get his owner running laps around him, he's hyper and motivating; a natural leader. - MOON IN PISCES. Your moon is your emotional side, how you feel, how you perceive feelings and how you process them. Eren with moon in Pisces is definitely not surprising to me— He is dreamy, intuitive, compassionate and he's either too dependable on others or just an overthinker. Though he may not seem like it Eren is very vulnerable and even prone to getting addicted to substances (alcohol, drugs, bad habits etc.) It's not the best placement in my standpoint, as he can get very affected by his surroundings and others. He can't turn a blind eye and NOT take shit to heart and rather stores it inside and holds onto it. He's very empathetic, he feels people's emotions and feels them well, to the point that he himself experiences what they are going through. - MERCURY IN PISCES. Eren has a LOT of Pisces placements so prepare to see a ton of empathy and psychic abilities in his aspects. Your Mercury is how you think, speak and learn. I sense that Eren has really great vulnerability which might not be a good thing, he trusts people too much and rather relies on them for heaps of things, he can be easily manipulated which is why he should refrain from letting everyone in. On the other hand, he is a very dreamy person and gets lost in his imagination at times. He sees the world in another, imaginative lens, and often could find himself daydreaming randomly. I can see that Eren has a hard time letting go of the past and he can even be linked to people in his life he hadn't seen in years. In terms of rational thinking he isn't the best, as he can't distinguish the logical from the emotional which is definitely something he should work on, he gets often blinded by the illusion of his overwhelming emotions toward others. He can also definitely have an eye to art since his imagination is extravagantly wide.
- VENUS IN TAURUS. Your mercury is your idea of love and how you give it and prefer to receive it— Eren's idea of romance is full of sensuality and gifts, he'll spoil you with his utter loyalty and generally with things too. Devotion is daily, he's extremely honest and would rather die than lie to you. Emphasis on sensuality, Eren craves touch and I could sense that his love language is physical touch, he will shower you with affection and fulfill your needs any time of the day. Taurus in Venus are all about comfort and coziness with their lover, so I can see that Eren loves cuddling, massages, food, sleepovers, intimate little things like that strike a chord in his heart. He can be possessive and jealous of times, he hates change specifically big ones in relationships—He can also take a long time to get to know you and prefers taking things slow and steady rather than rushing into it. I can also feel that he loves hard-workers, people who are dedicated and responsible (that's definitely his type). - MARS IN CAPRICORN. Two words. Goal driven. Your Mars is your approach towards anger and impulses as well as your sexuality aspects. Eren is self-controlled and refuses to take orders from others, he can't be chained down not because he's stubborn, but simply because he can't allow himself to stop. He has a tendency to shut out the world to pursue his objective— he moves forward (not a pun) and is willing to fight against everything and everyone to reach his goal, he isn't petty as he considers little quarrels a waste of time and energy. He likes to focus on the big problem at hand, not how to fight and win the battle but how to prepare for conquering the war once and for all. Eren with this placement knows that he is entitled to earn what he works hard for and will not let anything stop him. Mars signs can also affect appearance so I sense that Eren has very prominent and broad cheekbones, a serious face, and a very stiff, steady voice like he's about to command something. It can also be an intimate, velvety and cold voice and on the topic of intimacy— He usually prefers seeing you face to face and rather dislikes social media flings. He comes with a natural inclination to assume a dominant role in bed and he does what doesn't bother him (kink-wise) His temper is so icy, and he could definitely be on the sadomasochism spectrum. He's very soft in nature so if something was bothering you he'd instantly be turned off. Eren can be aggressive and intense but he may not specifically get off on pain (or he may) more like he finds the idea of being in control a very satisfying idea.
𝐒𝐄𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐃 𝐎𝐅𝐅
2. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune & Pluto Analysis
- JUPITER IN AQUARIUS. Your Jupiter is where you can receive the most luck and love, without you really doing much. It’s where you can catapult to happiness and success through quickest routes possible, within reason. I can tell from previous placements that Eren is a firm believer in standing for what you think is right. He is very opinionated and sometimes a bit too much— Some of his beliefs or theories can be brilliant and genius and others quite nonsensical and implausible, he rushes into throwing the first opinion just for the sake of throwing it first. Any analytical work about objective themes would come easily to him. Passion and enthusiasm will come astonishingly fast too as he can actually stun society with his innate knowledge with complicated subjects. Any scientific, technological, or perhaps just general abstract topics will benefit Eren greatly in subtle and/or unsubtle ways. He takes leaps of faith and believes what his eyes cannot see or what his mind cannot grasp. Simply what makes everything work out so well for him is the open minded love he puts into his theories. Sometimes though, he fears judgement people give to his methods as they are sometimes out of the box and peculiar. Eren would have to let go of his attachment to what other people think about his ways on solving or analyzing. - SATURN IN LIBRA. Your Saturn sign is your life’s obstacles and challenges, the rewards that come with time, and the discipline you need to achieve your goals. To start off with friendships, Eren cares about others and is tireless in serving others—he's also prone to putting others before him (others as in the people he cares about) And supporting his moon and mercury Pisces, he is very artistic and helps civilize those who need the lessons. The companionship he seeks can often give him solace and security, with his comrades support he feels a lot more powerful and in self-control. In relationships though Eren may tend to have a bit of an inferiority complex when it comes to relationships and is afraid of rejection & may try to shut himself away or run if the going gets tough. He is very drawn to mentor types, and may often be with someone older and wiser. Despite that he still finds a way to assume the dominant role in the relationship due to his cold nature. Eren commits to artful projects, making it possible to live his dreams by seeing them to completion, he finds it very gratifying and has mental discipline when he finds activities that matches his high ideals. His sense of social justice is heightened, that could get him into law, politics and activism—His firm belief in himself also plays a big role in this, his bravery allows himself to sacrifice whatever he has to, to get the job done. Chaos, crassness, and ugliness can cause him a lot of anxiety and fear, and with his persistence to right the wrong he gets really frustrated when people don't have an outlook to life the same as his. I sense that it may be hard for Eren to accept that only he is able to control himself, and it's a hard pill for him to swallow.
- URANUS IN PISCES. As I mentioned before Eren's chart is dominated with Pisces placements, his intuition works at another wavelength than that of the common people, and for this reason, he is in a much deeper connection to the spirit world. He can sense the occult and this acts as a form of guidance for him, an anchor to support his meanderings through life’s challenges. Pair that up with his splendid imagination and innovative spirit, and you get someone who’s afraid of failure even when he’s not doing anything out of the ordinary, the worst thing that could happen to Eren is failing and losing his sense of validation. He’s a negativist ( I can see Eren as a cynical person later on in life, a realist would fit his philosophical belief) but, he should let his intuition and connection to the spirit world heal this part of his, instead of allowing everything to work against him. He won’t let himself be fooled by naïve ideals, even though he likes believing in them. He can be quite realistic and logical when the situation calls for it and that's quite ironic considering he's indulged in his imagination most of the time. - NEPTUNE IN SAGITTARIUS. This is one hell of a placement. Experimentation with different beliefs, spiritual strands, and esoteric-based teachings are all things Eren finds interest in. He cannot deny the divine existence truly and indefinitely to himself- even if he does so to others, there is always the gnawing sense that ‘there is something more,’ and one day he may regret not finding out what that is. His gift is bringing the joy of shared faith and spirituality together, making the sect he resonates with part of his life’s philosophy. We can tell by now that Eren's purpose is seeking truth, absorbing information and looking at the world in a different lens. - PLUTO IN PISCES. Shawty Bae here can also can be more passive aggressive when trying to get what he wants. This means he can be manipulative at times. This is the only time he ever makes a power play. When he is struggling to achieve something for the greater good. (THIS ACTUALLY RESONATES WITH HIS PLAN) But this desire for control is never executed maliciously. He wants things to go his way so he doesn't disappoint those who are counting on him. Eren can be very sensitive, and it’s important to him that he doesn't let anyone down. He so desperately want to help people that he sometimes sacrifices his health and well being, and even somtimes the well being of others just for the outcome to turn out best.

3. Chiron (Scar)
- CHIRON IN PISCES. Your Chiron sign in astrology shows where you sustained your deepest wound, your scar— It can never be completely healed, but they can be worked with and transmuted. Eren with Chiron in Pisces, we've already talked about many Pisces qualities in him (empathy, psychic abilities, imagination etc.) But the Chiron has a lot more depth into it, Eren might have a deep fear of being hurt by the universe or the forces at play. He might feel that the world is unfair or merciless and doesn't have his back almost every time. He has a sense of betrayal, and that leads him into cynicism (mentioned before in his Uranus placement) He felt that nobody was there for him when he needed it the most and he also feels a sense of victimization. This placement has a lot to do with the idea of FATE. Even subconsciously Eren feels he was dealt an unfair life, I can also feel that his way of coping is feeling someones grief right alongside them. Sympathyzing is definitely his way of forgetting about his own problems. Even though Eren doesn't exactly victimize himself he still can't understand why the universe is set up this way— he feels that the world isn't fair to him and his loved ones. Although all this scarring shows when he indulges himself in an immense shell of cynicism, then he hops between two places; Not feeling empathy for others since nobody offered empathy to him - or sympathyzing greatly and putting others' needs before his. It is easy for him to shut his feelings out but only with the help of substances which makes him more prone to getting addicted. This placement was created at some point in the past when Eren needed something badly and didn’t get it (sometimes the wound stems from a past life, but this stemmed from his childhood) Maybe it's because he felt insignificant to someone he felt was an idol to him, maybe this figure or idol was never there to nurture him and the probability of him having a lost close one in early childhood days is a very probable cause in how this Chiron stemmed.
BONUS:
- I get massive ISFP vibes from early Eren and INTJ from late him.
- His Venus Taurus makes him very romantic, so I feel like this would be his favorite song to dance to

Hello everyone, I'm so sorry I'm so behind on responding to all you beautiful kind people it honestly means the whole entire WORLD to me that you care; every message every like every reblog everything it truly just means more than words can express. You've all kept me going, kept be strong not just through this right now but the past 5 years living under duress in this horrible situation, unable to speak about what was happening to me irl but the connections I've had here just it's just everything. Sorry I'm a bit emo at the moment.
And your help with signal boosting is so important and so helpful I can't thank you enough nor begin to explain how much it helps, the impact it makes on the entire thing... please keep it up, send this around the world, get it on every continent- tomorrow begins another week, another day that Bill and Jeanette and their accomplices will be aggressively doing everything they can to silence me. So please, tell my story, tell the public, get it so far-reaching that it can't be buried.
They preyed on me, saw us as a scapegoat, this "perfect" victim on which to hang all their failures, all their debt, their personal and relationship issues, their crimes; Bill and Jeanette are trying to hang everything around our necks and then sink us. They thought that because I'm disabled and had been estranged from my own abusive family- cut off from any help or resources- and because my illness has required me to be physically isolated so much that they thought I've got no friends to turn to either; they thought that because they'd worked my husband thousands and thousands of hours and haven't paid him, forcing us into an artifical destitution, that we'd be unable to defend ourselves from them legally or socially (and I mean like they literally told us this they'd taunt us all the time about how we'd not be able to do anything)... they thought they'd covered every possible angle of our lives, thought they'd trapped us into having to just take the abuse, take on their debts, and live and die under their complete control...
But there's things they didn't account for. They underestimated our resolve. They have failed to actually research the minutiae of the legalities of their actions. They have stubbornly kept their heads planted firmly in the 20th century, and have been so willfully ignorant of the climate they're trying to do this in and negligent of things that humans on every side have already agreed are problematic... they are leaning on their titles, their standing in the community, their friends in high places to aid in this attempt to destroy and bury us...
There's a lot more to unpack and I've got so much to say but the point I was getting to in this moment is this: they did not account for swifties. They, like so many ignorant people, look at me being a Taylor Swift @taylorswift fan as something silly and childish, something that's for 12-year-olds, something that means nothing- but they're so, so wrong on that, aren't they? One of their family members in particular has always looked down on me and my husband, has always spoken to us with such an arrogant air if superiority, thinking he's so much better than us, smarter than us (sadder, badder, cooler? oh-) because he thinks bc on paper he's got better education (only achieved thanks to the hard efforts of everyone in the family including my husband who was supposed to then be next up for that same opportunity except then Jeanette tore their family apart and left him to fend for himself from 16) and because he's traveled the world and has all this perceived culture and experience- I can imagine that person seeing these accounts of mine and laughing at me. Thinking I'm childish. Thinking I'm "slow" (just like how Jeanette told my husband that she thinks I must be r******d because she heard me watching the movie Frozen, a "kids movie" ddgggggsgd)... but... we know.
Swifties know. And Swifties go hard. How many times have we all been so severely underestimated by the world? How many times have we as a group been waved off as some silly girly fan club with no social or political power? How many times have we then stood together worldwide and demolished all the stereotypes and affected real change?
They didn't account for swifties. Help me show them, and again the world, just how much this group of simple "social media fan accounts" can make an impact. Please help me reply to these abusers the way Taylor would. Swiftie F#$*ing Strong.
