notes on cancer women
Cancer women don’t run down men. We MAKE them come to us with our lunar pull and when they’re with us we treat them better (sexually and otherwise) than almost any other woman in the zodiac. We’re the first water sign and as such, our pussies stay wet and we know how to get dicks hard as well as wet. We’re the best sex in the zodiac and men are hooked on us. We’re also the most feminine. We’re the women who can best intuit our man’s needs and desires. We’re the ones that can hang with his (guy) friends. We’re the ones who can even chill with other women, if they’re secure enough. We’re the ones he takes home to mom. Other girls are for a good time, we’re here for a long time. We’re the types that a man marries. We’re literally every woman. However, we’re also independent af so although we love to be with someone, most times we know how to be alone. My friends are constantly asking me when I will get a boyfriend and I have no intentions of dating right now (plus most relationships are shallow af so I don’t want to be part of that drama). Single life is lit.
Our personalities are so kind and deeply caring that they may look manufactured to a lot of people who don’t understand us, but trust me, they are REAL. We are THAT crazy lol. We HATE being fake and we hate fake people. I literally don’t understand how someone can be fake and live with themselves. Also, we get it, as the emotional creatures that we are, our personalities can go from one extreme to the next but WE CAN’T HELP IT. I sometimes don’t even understand my own goddamn self and I find myself doing shit I didn’t even think I would ever do the day before.
Depending on who you are and how you treat us, we can be the sensitive sweethearts you love, or we can be the sensitive sweethearts you love to hate. Whether we (or others) like it or not, most Cancer women generally express their feelings so openly and it makes all sorts of people get involved—and unfortunately it’s usually the wrong people.
As to the degree of emotional transparency we have…it depends on the moon sign of the Cancer woman really. As a Capricorn moon, the only, ONLY other person who can spot that something is wrong with me emotionally is my mother. I actually care about certain things, I have a really big heart to the few that deserve it, but I don’t really show it.
About the selfish thing, yes as Cardinal signs, we may come off as selfish human beings who have no regards for anyone but ourselves but when you get to know us, we really have one of the biggest hearts of the zodiac. We actually care for people, but we are a very cautious sign and we gotta know each other first before we care THAT much.
Oh and we let you walk out of our lives, so the “clingy” stereotype really needs to die. We’re loyal and we don’t give up on people, but we don’t really run down people either (at least not for too long). Just make sure that if you decide to walk away from us, be sure that you are REALLY done with us, because if you decide to try and come back in, it is 1000x harder the first time (if you’re accepted back at all).
We may come off as rude, but the truth is, we see bullshit before ANYONE else does. Our intuition is head and shoulders above ALL of the other signs. I remember two years ago, people wondered why I was constantly giving this girl the side eye whenever she was right beside me, two years later they FINALLY understand. Sometimes we really do say things that can actually hurt others (we sometimes don’t understand it because we’re the type to want people to like us) but most times we don’t mean to hurt anyone. We would go home and feel guilty about it and internalize it and feel bad for days. Well…that’s in my case.
I see a lot of utterances on here and elsewhere about how Cancers aren’t smart and aren’t regarded for their intelligence. Alan Turing? Helen Keller? Nikola Tesla, anyone? And again, we’re smart enough to see bullshit before anyone else does, so how tf are we dimwitted???
I also hear and read that we’re “followers”. Followers? Are you sure you are looking at the right zodiac sign? Because if anything, the unpopular truth is that folks follow us. We’re cardinal signs and we’re the leaders of emotion, as such, we make it okay for others to be kind and to care and to be nurturing and empathetic. We do our own thing, roll our own way and we like being uniquely us. We aren’t the ‘follow the crowd’ type of sign. If you are looking for that, head on over to Libras and Pisces.
Reading about how salty everyone is towards Cancer women, just goes to show that we are VERY misunderstood. We’re the shit without having to shit on anyone. I guess that burns people up, lol.
Also, if any of you people have any problems with a Cancer in your life (and by the way Cancers are talked about/not talked about/willfully ignored/written about/dismissed it seems everyone and their grandmother’s dog does lol), talk to them, be REAL with them. PLEASE tell them how you’re feeling. Tell them EVERYTHING. Vent it out. Even if it hurts. At the end of the day, we do not like fakeness and we are DEFINITELY not the sign to deal with that.
We can be earnest and genuine to a fault and we find it really annoying when confronted with someone who isn’t; we’ll try to deal with you to an extent, but the more evolved among us won’t even bother, we’ll just give up and walk away. If we just someone, the more evolved among us will take our actions into consideration since unlike all the other signs, we truly don’t like hurting anyone, ESPECIALLY the people we actually care about. Again, depending on the moon sign (since we’re lunar creatures), we may or may not show it, but we do care.
If we have a problem with a friend or lover, we have the rare ability to articulate it without sounding accusatory. But if we’ve done something wrong, we take the blame rather than blaming them. We are never jealous without reason, and no matter how badly someone wrongs us, we never fall into the trap of self-pity. We calm others down rather than get them riled up. Despite the unfortunate name of this star sign, we are the cure for relationship cancer.
I’m dying to know the date and time you fell to earth from heaven. Do you have pictures? You’re almost too good to be real, but in a world of fakes, you’re the real deal. You’re that good, and anyone who doesn’t realize it the moment that they meet you is going to cause you trouble. Whenever someone has a problem with you, I don’t even need to hear the details. I already know that they’re in the wrong. Did you ever hear someone say, “It’s not you—it’s me”? Trust them when they say that. It’s not you. It’s them. It’s never been you, and it’s ALWAYS been them.

for Easter I got my 9yo niece a French bande dessinée (comic book) that uses a ton of themes and tropes she likes (it’s called Lily Medialuna)
she’s a fan of magic (loves Harry Potter) and mythology (loves Percy Jackson) and is overall a head-in-the-clouds type of kid who loves reading
the characters in it apparently have a daimon-like animal that represents them, as well as some kind of stone, and a magical ability
as soon as she was finished reading it, she asked for a piece of paper and a pencil, and started writing down what her own animal and stone and power would be
she later came up to my sister-in-law and me: she’d found her stone and power, but needed our input on her animal, because she wanted all three to be coherent and true to her personality
she said: “I think I’d be a lion, what do you think?”
my SIL and I looked at each other like... this child ain’t a lion lol, it just doesn’t fit her vibe at all
so first I said: “you know lions are kinda lame and lazy as hell, lionesses do all the work”
and then I asked: “are you picking the lion because that’s your zodiac sign, or do you really believe that this animal is a good representation of you?”
niece: “I think I’m like a lion because I’m very expressive”
SIL and I looked at each other again, deeply puzzled, because “expressive” is neither the first nor the tenth word you’d use to describe her
niece: “when other kids annoy me too much and push me too far, I’m very expressive”
me: “ok so you mean that you’re ‘expressive’ in a ‘reactive’ kind of way, not in a ‘I freely and abundantly express my thoughts & feelings’ kind of way”
you could tell that she was a bit upset that we didn’t immediately see the connection between her soul and that of a lion, which in turn bothered me, because I’d hate for her to feel ~unseen~ by adults
my SIL suggested that a bird might be a better fit for her, to which my niece replied “an eagle!” — girl really digs that majestic alpha vibe, I guess?
then I looked at her piece of paper to check what she’d picked as her magical power
and god help me this fucking child had chosen the power to heal others
so I said: “you pick THAT power and come in here thinking that the lion is a coherent fit for your profile?!” (not in an asshole voice, but with a tone to convey that this is crazy town)
she agreed that it didn’t make sense
I said: “it’d be nice if you could have a tree instead of an animal, because trees help each other and share resources in this very cool way, that could be a good fit for you”
she did not agree that trees are cooler than lions, and I can see her point
there’s no ending to that story because she had to leave before she could settle on an animal
but my takeaway reflection is that, when I saw that she genuinely believed that she was a lion, and that the word “expressive” was somehow a good descriptor of her, I thought:
this is what happens every day in the MBTI universe, people are fucking clueless about what they’re like and what words mean, except that they don’t have the excuse of being 9 years old

Get to Know the Mun! REPOST DON’T REBLOG
———  BASICS! ♡
(PEN)NAME:    lailah
PRONOUNS:   she/they
ZODIAC SIGN:     virgo
TAKEN OR SINGLE:    single
———  THREE  FACTS! ♡
I don’t know how much I’ve spent on adam warlock merch/comics at this point and I don’t know if I want to know
When I was in high school, my short story got picked to be published in an anthology, but they misprinted it and I didn’t have a backup copy to send them to fix it :”)
Editing is actually one of my favorite parts of writing (I used to be an editor in high school and college, actually). It’s like a fun puzzle to see where words work better, to make the sentence more concise and dynamic. I don’t know if it shows through but I enjoy it.
———  EXPERIENCE! ♡
My first experience with roleplay was in high school and we literally carried around a giant binder filled with loose leaf paper and we each took a turn passing it around (between periods) and writing in it. It took me a long time to figure out internet roleplay. First I transitioned to google docs with friends, and then a friend introduced me to forums, and ??? I think I used xanga? then somehow I found out Tumblr had a roleplay community. I started off in groups around 2012~ and stayed there for a long time before I finally figured out indie tumblr roleplay. I’ve finally left groups entirely and I don’t think I’ll ever go back. I’ve roleplayed in a looot of fandoms, both with canons and ocs.
———  MUSE  PREFERENCE! ♡
I think I care mildly more about overall themes and the story being told and tend to be able to write most character types, at least I like to think so. My muses tend to be varied (I hope so, at least) because I don’t like to write characters that are too similar. I do seem to gravitate more toward male presenting muses, for whatever reason. I’d say the fandoms I wrote in the most are Harvest Moon/farm sims, Dragon Age, and, recently, Marvel. 
Like, I don’t know, it’s hard to pinpoint my one character type but I do see a few patterns: (1) The wholesome dad type, (2) the devoted type (whether it be to an ideal or a person), (3) the outsider kind of character. So ??? I don’t know, make of that what you will. I’ve also noticed that lately I have an interest in characters that have complicated relationships, where everything is not black and white with each other. ———  FLUFF / ANGST / SMUT! ♡    
FLUFF:  I do particularly enjoy slice of life/fluff type things. media doesnt seem to give characters a break before shuffling them off to the next traumatic event so I really enjoy writing aspects where they get to sit down and exist in peace, process their life and explore who they are as well as their relationships.
ANGST: depends. angst for the sake of angst is not appealing to me. I don’t like to pile on too much. I prefer to have a point and a resolution to it. I also feel it just sometimes makes things convoluted.
SMUT:  ehhh I write it but it’s not a priority. I think I like to think about it and discuss it more, as I do like exploring the topic. I find one shots or drabbles, snippets of moments, very fun though. I will still occasionally write smut threads but it kind of wanes after a while. I guess this just depends on how much I’m feeling the ship at any given point.
PLOT / MEMES:  memes are fine, and I’m good with spring boarding those into threads, but I prefer plotting by far. I still, someday, want to do a giant universe plot where there’s several muses from both sides in the one verse and, ideally, even spanning generations. making up pairings, families, friendships, etc. and adding in villains/plots sprinkled throughout. I’ve gotten to do it a bit in the past and it’s just a lot of fun
  tagging: if you read it, I tag you   tagged  by:  I stole it

The Pallas Asteroid Through The Signs 𓌜 🗡
Tumblr media
Overview: Pallas has interesting mythology because Pallas was supposedly two different people back then. Originally, Pallas was Athena’s “adopted” sister and she had an adoptive father after being born from Zeus’ skull and the sister that she gained from the adoptive family was Pallas. What Pallas and Athena had in common was that they were matched in wits and strength; so they would duel each other and even they would do one of those “arm wrestles” when two people are just kinda stuck at the same point and no one is beating the other because they were both so matched in that skill. Until, one day they were both fighting while (again) being matched in that skill, so someone distracted Pallas so that Athena would get a shot to make a strike on her. And because Athena thought that Pallas was going to dodge, she didn’t realize that Pallas was so distracted but it was too late because Athena landed her stab in Pallas so that she ended up killing her. She accidentally skewered her and with the remorse and devastation of losing her friend and sister, she eventually took Pallas’ name in honor of her memory. So, we truly use Athena and what she represents in mythology to understand what Pallas is in Astrology. In mythology Athena is the goddess of wisdom and warfare; When we think of warfare we usually think of Aries who not only is not only a zodiac sign that is ruled by Mars but in mythology was the God Of War. The way that it coincides with Pallas and Athena is matching Wisdom and Warfare, it’s just going out into battle with pure masculine Aries Energy. 
Tumblr media
This asteroid also represents the feminine side of Athena that is calculated and social; what you end up with when you mix them together is strategy. And there, my beautiful people is what Pallas represents; it means where you use your strategy in terms of what house it falls into and where you are the most strategic. It also can highlight what your “war” strategy looks like! 
Pallas in Aries: Your creative intelligence shows how quickly you can up with solutions to new issues. You are innovative, you’re a pioneer, you think on your feet, and you act as your own source of your inspiration. You guys are the type of people to fight for what you believe in and the things that you believe are right or true. You’re typically the first person to set things in motion as well and you would rather face justice head on. You might also possess strong political views and you won’t be easily persuaded and you will stand up for the “under dogs” or the weak. Perhaps, you choose to not seek any other type of healing from others because you want to deal with things on your own. Then again, perhaps sports, physical activity, or screaming can contribute to your healing. Or you may actively seek healing practices and you might also possess a love for high level but healthy competition. And you also don’t typically fear losing. 🏺
Pallas in Taurus: Your creative intelligence shows  how visual you can be and how artistic you can be. You’ll visualize how a new issue can be solved in fact you might use your physical senses to work your way through it. You guys are in tune with the natural world and you guys are also very artistic. You might turn to things like art, culture, food, music, and all things beautiful as a source of inspiration. And you guys will use your common sense when it comes to your political debates or political issues and you’ll try to remain calm in situations that are really chaotic and unjust. You guys will also possess fixed opinions and you guys will also take your time when deciding a healing method. You want to know if it’s gonna be truly valuable, so things like natural medicine, cooking, sewing, or gardening, can contribute to your healing. When you find something that works you stick to it and you might not be fond of competition but if you know that you might win, you’ll definitely compete. 🏺
Pallas in Gemini: Your creative intelligence shows how intellectual and communicative you can be. You’ll use your worlds to come up with new solutions to new issues and you’ll draw from the information you have gathered. You might know a thing or two about the issue due to you being about to pick up bite sized pieces of knowledge everywhere you go. You guys are basically a master with words! You guys might turn to writers, teachers, media, reading as sources of inspiration. You’ll use your sharp wit within the realm of politics and you’ll communicate when justice should be served. However, your views are subject to change and you’re curious about a variety of healing methods especially talking, poetry, or learning contributing to your healing. There can be times where you will gladly participate but also times when you would much rather leave it. 🏺
Pallas in Cancer: Your creative intelligence shows how intuitive and in tune you can be. You guys will feel through any issues that may arise and know how to comfort others in the process. Your hyper sensitivity and empathy is the way you figure things out and you guys assess the deeper layers and the things that can’t necessarily be seen. But, you guys can pick up on the things that can be felt because you guys are perceptive and you might even turn to care giving, art, food, family, music, and history as sources of inspiration. You guys will defend your loved ones with a tenacious stance and if others hurt your family for instance you will fight honorable so. You guys will also defend your heritage as well as children and the elderly and you are drawn towards healing practices that are revitalizing and calm. Perhaps things like bathing, cooking, and affection or family time may contribute to your healing you’ll support others through their own healing as well. You guys prefer to feel competitive environments out before deciding to participate. 🏺
Pallas In Leo: Your creative talent shows how animated and expressive you can be. You’ll use your gifted creativity and visions to come up with new solutions to issues. You typically won’t shy away from expressing how you see things and you’ll enjoy the attention and praise that you receive for being a star.

You guys may get into more art, therapy and comedy, dance, or even drama contribute to your healing and you guys will be proud of your progress. You aren’t likely to back down from competition and you’ll want to prove yourself and show the world what you’re made of. 🏺
Pallas in Virgo: Your creative intelligence shows how analytical and detailed you are. You’ll examine solutions to new issues up close and you’ll notice the tiny errors that many may overlook. And in this aspect, you’ll break things down and you’ll strip things back to their simplest form. There is something purifying. about this process and you don’t typically like to complicate things and if others need your help you’ll want to assist in any way you can. High quality and doing the job correctly are important and you might turn to medicine, sewing, pottery, or health as sources of inspiration. Politically speaking, you’ll be practical and hands on and you guys will have high expectations of yourself. You guys are the type of people to recognize any justice or legal changes that should be made and you’ll use discrimination when it comes to healing methods. Ya’ll may enjoy yoga, nutrition, exercise, or crafts can contribute to your healing. You can be humble when competition is concerned but also are willing to put your best foot forward. 🏺
Pallas In Libra: Your creative intelligence shows how diplomatic and fair minded you can be. You’ll consider all moving parts when it comes to coming up with solutions to new issues. You guys will assess how things relate to one another and perhaps there is never a simple black and white answer because you see the “grey” and also you’ll typically want to remain rational and firm. You possess a desire to bring balance. If there’s anything that is too far on one side can make you feel uneasy. You might turn to beauty, fashion, or design or even music as sources of inspiration. When it comes to politics and justice you can be a natural defender of justice. You’ll weigh out your options and consider other healing methods like tea, couples therapy, and counseling, even meditation can contribute to your healing. Perhaps, you have a “take it or leave it” attitude towards competition but there is apart of you that wants to win. 🏺
Pallas in Scorpio: Your creative intelligence shows how deep and perspective you can be. You want to get to the root of any new issues and the solutions you come up with will come from a piercing place and date. You see what’s going beneath the surface and you can bring whatever information that’s hidden to light. By making what is unconscious actually conscious you can do remarkable things. However, this is a strength that should not be taken lightly and you can use what you find for better or for worse. Still, you might turn to investigating, sex, mystery, and even other paranormal sources of inspiration and political speaking you might keep your opinions and beliefs close to your chest and you may not reveal your strategy especially to enemies and other foes. When you want justice you can be dominate, devoted, and intense and you can be very passionate and when it comes to any healing methods scream therapy, sex therapy, hypnosis, or even symbolic art can contribute to your healing. You may be determined when it comes to competitive matters and you’ll be controlled and strong. 🏺
Pallas in Sagittarius: Your creative intelligence shows how moral and conceptual you can be. When you encounter new issues you use your moral compass for guidance and your solutions are typically reflective of the bigger picture. You want to do the right thing and at the same time your imagination can lead the way.

When it comes to politics you can be a defender of truth and you may be righteous when it comes to law and justice. You can be adventurous when considering healing methods, tarot, humanistic therapy, hiking, and lectures contribute to your healing. In terms of competition, you want to reach your best potential even when you lose something you may gain something else in the process and learn. 🏺
Pallas in Capricorn: Your creative intelligence shows how structured, orderly, and practical you can be.

You prefer to gain recognition for your efforts and you might turn to business, drafting, building, and planning as sources of inspiration. When it comes to politics you aim to defend law and order; you guys will definitely make sure that justice is served. You guys like to be the person in control as well and it might take you time to see which healing methods work the best for you. You guys are the type of people that won’t settle for less either. Things like getting massages, laser therapy, and dental care can contribute to your healing and competitively speaking being seen as the big boss might matter to you greatly and you guys definitely want to be taken seriously. 🏺
Pallas in Aquarius: Your creative intelligence shows how futuristic and inventive you can be. When a new issue arises you might jump two steps ahead and you have to consider the future possibilities. So, the solutions you bring forward typically represent what is still to come. This can result in some confusion with others but still you’re ahead of your time and you like to try out new ways of tackling problems. You might turn to technology, progressive house music, graphics, design, or even space as sources of inspiration. Politically, you’ll typically defend humanitarian causes and you might be part of certain movements and protests. You’ll fight for freedom and equality and justice; you’ll experiment with healing methods as well. Things like group therapy, crystals, vibrations, and geometry can contribute to your healing. You might appear as if you don’t care for competition but the moment you get to share the unique. 🏺
Pallas In Pisces: Your creative intelligence shows how imaginative and spiritual you can be. When you come up against new issues, you see beyond what is being shown and you tend to have a sixth sense. Your solutions come an extremely insightful and intuitive place and you might not be aware of your psychic abilities while you guys are actually a natural born healer. You may turn to fantasy, film, photography, or to your dreams as sources of inspiration. When it comes to politics and justice you tend to choose the non violent root. You would prefer if humanity was compassionate and if fighting wasn’t an option. You might devote yourself to a cause or to a charity that moves you deeply. Perhaps, you consider many types of healing methods like poetry, art, meditation, or journaling can contribute to your healing. While you can take part in a competition you still wish the best for the other person or people involved. 🏺

To my new aquaintance, a 30 year old gay man;
We casually speak to each other as if we have met at least once before. Out of boredom and pure curiosity I asked him for his zodiac sign followed by finding out his lifepath number. He was a Leo and his lifepath number was 4. I was very familiar with this type of person.
My ex boyfriend whom I dated for years, towards the end of high school, had a significant importance in my life at the time. I told my new aquaintance that lifepath 4’s are extremely disiplined, like stability, routine, and structure. Extremely hardworking people, that like to set goals. Outside of that, I told him that I admire how much Leos love unconditionally and being a lifepath 4 is such an overlooked mentally strong person. Someone that can lose it all today and rebuild everything again. Once things go extremely wrong, I admire the fact that they can start from scratch and rebuild their lifestyle. He ended up crying in my arms in public because he had never felt so heard and so seen. He admitted that he use to be too busy pouring into other people’s cups that he felt empty and in order for him to fully love another person again he has to fully love himself.
Why Leos are my favorite sign:
This took me back to a time where my ex and I were together and we had fond memories. He was a very good partner and a loyal friend. I use to visit my friend’s house every day who lived down the street…
My ex was always there because they were bestfriends. He was someone who almost all the girls at my school had a crush on. He was 5’10, mixed with black and asian, toned with abs, built arms, tattoos, a deep jawline, quiet, and very calm. At a glance, I could tell he was good looking, just normally not the type of men I went for. He was a pretty boy.
Gradually we became closer, we started to sleep next to each other, and became more touchy. We ended up becoming friends with benefits because he expressed attraction towards me. He asked me out and we became a couple. I could already feel his love towards me growing everyday as we got to know each other. He had severe mommy issues. His mom ended up kicking him out and I took him in. He was forever appreciative of this. I was still very young at the age of 17 and he was 19. Living together made us know everything about each other. I had undiagnosed BPD. I was extremely moody, sad, anxious, jealous, angry, happy, and unhappy all in a matter of hours. I often took things out on him, because I was so broken and so hurt from childhood trauma and wounds. He made things at home as peaceful as he could. We would shower together, cook for each other, go on dates, and watch movies together. He always gave me half his paychecks, bought me my first car, paid for my upkeep, and helped me with my homework. I felt very taken cared of. He always remembered every holiday, birthday, and more. He did whatever possible to make life easier for me and always kept his word.
He truly loved me for who I was. He came home one day with my name tattooed. I felt really special and adored. We spent most of our days going to work, cooking, playing video games, and enjoying our time together. Being so young, I still wanted to hangout with my friends. We hung out with mutual friends, but it wasn’t the same. We both grew very jealous hanging out with the opposite sex. He thought I loved male attention, bruh-girls definitely didn’t exist in 2012. I guess it didn’t matter to me whether I went out or not, but I also felt like I was missing out on life.
We eventually had to move away from each other and both of us lost the ability to make effort or stay in touch, I suppose. I don’t remember our ending too much. I just know we tried to get back together again and we just didn’t feel the same. I mostly only liked him as a friend. I wasn’t able to feel for him romantically.
What I learned:
As much I think I wasted time, I actually didn’t. I learned so much from this. I learned how to appreciate the small things in life more and how to love. Us being together kept both of us safe from nonsense. We built together, worked together, and reached personal goals. I did not have immediate family emotionally there for me at the time. Later, when I helped him make amends with his mother, his family treated me like family. He showed me the love and loyalty I never got. I appreciate all of his efforts for being there for me. I wish I felt the same way towards him, but I didn’t and just couldn’t force myself to. However, I wish him the best sincerely and hope life treats him as well as he once treated me. We do not follow each other on social media and I do not have feelings for him, but part of me wishes maybe some day I will meet someone and will be able to give them a love so selfless, unconditional, and pure. I hope that he is doing well, married and with the children he always wanted.
P.S. I am sorry I never loved you in that way, but thank you for being in my life and showing me something I didn’t know I needed.

Greetings, congratulations on your 700 followers! You deserve it! May I participate in your ship match up (romantically)? For game of thrones please ^_^
I am an asian, lesbian 5'4 girl with dark black long hair, my zodiac is a capricorn and my personality is infp 9w1. My pronouns are she/they
I'm really interest in mythology wether it'd be greek, roman or chinese, I'm also interested in other peoples culture. I like being alone because I'm pretty quiet, shy and awkward and find socializing a bit of a hassle for me, though I like being around being around with my friends. I'm quite loyal and care a lot with my friends, if i didn't have them I would have been more bitter haha. From other people, I'm passive, kind and welcoming, I'm a really soft person. Despite that i tend to get angry easily but I have a habit of keeping it in and letting people walk all over me. I know when I need to step in or stay out of business. I'm the type of person to try and break up a fight that involves my friends even if i may get hurt.
I can speak three languages! (Including my native language), I like cold food and drinks such as ice cream or cold tea. Speaking of tea, I'm a fan of various of flavours of tea! Like oolong, matcha or black tea. I also like art, any kinda of art like music, painting, crafts or poems and plays. Weaponary strikes my interest as well! (^•_•^)
Sorry if there are any mistakes, english isn't my native language haha. Good day and thanks!
hi! thank you for participating :)
i ship you with arya!
i think she would find you really fascinating. i don’t think she was ever that interested in the schooling the septa would have made her learn back in winterfell, but she did take an interest in ancient histories. hearing the stories of people like visenya targaryen who rode vhagar, i think she’d love talking to someone about that side of history if you were interested. she’s got an interest in travel and culture, at least in my opinion. she’s a bit of an explorer, and i think she’d enjoy sharing that interest with you.
she’s also a rather independent person. she has friends, but she never felt like she really needed them to keep herself happy or occupied. i don’t think she does well in crowds or large groups, and she’d appreciate that you didn’t like large groups either. i think quality time is her love language, so she’d be happy when you’d want to hang out with her, just the two of you. however, she is a very outspoken person. if someone said something to offend you or her, she wouldn’t hesitate to stand up for you. you’d never have to feel anxious around her, because she’d always be there to protect you. but you’d also be there to break up and fights that got started, regardless of who started it, because you didn’t want to see her get hurt. i think she’d understand how willing you both were to protect each other, and she’d make an effort to keep you both calm and collected, unless you had to fight. and your loyalty would mean a lot to her.
i think some of your interests, like crafts and art, would remind her of home. things like needlepoint, which is something she hated doing growing up, would remind her of sansa. the softer and gentler side of you would remind her of home, and i think she’d love having you around just for that. she’d also love that you’ve taken an interest in weaponry, since she has as well. i think she’d really enjoy teaching you about it and how to use her sword.
maybe one day you’d have some free time, and she’d catch you looking at her sword. she’d pull it from her waist, handing the hilt to you.
“if you’re going to stare at it, you might as well learn to use it.”
you’d playfully roll your eyes. “you’re going to sit here and attempt to teach me how to use this? what’s the catch? you could just let me stare at it for a bit till i get bored.”
she’d shake her head.
“tell you what. i teach you how to use this, and you teach me how you made that tea we had last night. deal?”
you’d grin and stand, holding needle out to shine in the light of the sun.
“deal.”
i hope you enjoyed this! thank you again for participating :)

Speed Dating
Para: Speed Dating
Pairing: Kurt and Blaine
Kurt:
Kurt really didn't want to be at this stupid bar doing this stupid thing.  Elliott had convinced him that speed dating would be fun. It would be a good thing.  Kurt, though, didn't want to step out and date again.  But, he decided to go- mostly in support of Elliott who was still searching for love in all the wrong places.   Of course, Elliott had gone to the past two speed dating events at this very bar and was planning on going to the one next month as well- unless he met the love of his life between now and then. He'd dragged Santana along, too. He was dressed in one of his favorite pair of Paul Smith slacks- white with multicolored dots, a white button up, and an ascot.  He had the sleeves rolled up and the top few buttons unbuttoned. Even if he wasn't looking for love, he still wanted to look good. “Seriously Kurt, just let yourself go tonight, I know you said you aren't looking to date, but you have a whole room full of guys who probably want to get into those fashionable pants of yours.” Kurt rolled his eyes at Elliott and shook his head, “Can we just get this over with?” he asked, grabbing a name tag and writing his name under the Hello my name is section.  “You're lucky I'm putting my actual name on this.  Maybe I should just use my acting classes and create a whole new persona.” “Whatever makes you feel better”. He rolled his eyes and walked over to the first seat and waiting for the event to start. After a minute they would move to their right and that would allow them to hit every person who had come. Elliott sat across from him and Kurt rolled his eyes, “I guess this is a good way to start, then.  You can tell me all about all of the guys you met  at the end of the night.” “I'm sure I'll have a few numbers by the end of the night, at least.  And hey- don't cut yourself off from any of them, even if you think you're not ready to move on.  It's okay to have a little fun while you and Blaine find your way back to each other.” With another eye roll, Kurt got up and moved to the next chair as another man sat down when he heard the bell go off. He wasn't really his type- a larger guy with a beard, but he talked with him anyway. His name was Brady and he was a big sports fan. He was originally from Michigan and a huge Wolverine's fan. Even if he was interested Kurt thought his dad would disown him on that fact alone. The next guy was nice-but Kurt kept wanting to pick apart his outfit. The next guy seemed way too into astrology and zodiacs and if he said dude one more time, Kurt was going to scream. A part of Kurt just wanted to bow out.  Maybe when the buzzer hit he'd get up and walk out of the door instead of hit the next chair, and he stood to do just that as soon as the buzzer rang, until he came face to face with the person who sat in the chair across from him “Blaine,” he whispered and took in a breath.  He sat down, his heart skipping a beat and his chest a little tight. He felt glued to the seat as he stared across from his ex. He didn't realize Blaine was trying to move on.  That Blaine was in the dating scene again.  Had he really lost his chance with the love of his life because he was too chicken to talk to him? Blaine:
Blaine should have known something was up when the guys from his dance class suggested going to a different bar than they'd been to the last few times they'd gone out together. When they entered the bar, it didn't take long for Blaine to see why they had wanted to go here instead, and as soon as he realised what was going on, he narrowed his eyes at them. "Speed dating, guys? Seriously?" The two refused to let him leave, though, so after several minutes of protesting (and a shot of tequila that Blaine was already starting to regret), he finally gave in, rolling his eyes before writing down his name. Jason kept trying to convince Blaine that they were only here to support Benji (You know how awkward he gets when he likes someone. He needs us by his side!), but Blaine knew that wasn't entirely true. This wasn't the first time someone had tried to convince him to get back into the dating scene, and he was getting a little tired of it. Tina kept telling him he should start dating again, even if it was just to find a rebound, and even Sam had agreed with her. Maybe you should give that Grindr-thing a try, dude. And now this... Blaine looked down at his outfit with a soft sigh as he attached the name tag to his maroon polo. At least his outfit wasn't horrible. Come on, Blaine, smile. It's just speed dating. No one is asking you to marry one of these guys at the end of the night. Just have a little fun. He rolled his eyes one more time, then finally smiled for the first time since he'd entered the bar. "Fine. But I'm not giving anyone my number," he said, as he sat down across from Jason. Maybe they were right. Just because he wasn't over Kurt didn't mean he couldn't talk to other guys, right? And Kurt had told him how Elliott kept trying to set him up with guys whenever they went out together. This didn't have to mean anything. (edited) The night got off to a bad start. The first guy looked like he could star in a Marvel movie, but he didn't let Blaine finish a single sentence, and it was impressive how many times he managed to interrupt him in a single minute. The second guy spent the entire minute bragging about how he would take over his father's business when he finished college, only pausing a few times to complain about 'the cheap taste' of his wine. He reminded Blaine a little too much of the people at the country club back in Westerville, and it was a long minute. The third guy was alright. He seemed sweet and was clearly interested in fashion, and - oh, that brooch looked familiar. In fact, Blaine was certain that Kurt had the exact same one. It wasn't until the guy mentioned his name that Blaine realised he'd spent most of their time thinking about his ex. "I - I'm sorry, what?" he asked, just when the buzzer hit again. And then, suddenly, said ex sat down across from him. Blaine's eyes widened a little when he saw Kurt, and he had to take a deep breath to compose himself. See, Kurt was definitely back in the dating scene. Blaine tried to tell himself that maybe it didn't mean anything, but he couldn't help but fear that he had officially ruined his chances.  "Kurt," he replied, looking at him with an unsure smile. "This um - what are you doing here?" He shook his head a little, letting out an awkward laugh. "I'm sorry, that was a dumb question. I'm just - I'm a little surprised to see you here." Kurt:
Kurt took a second when Blaine questioned him. What was he doing here? “That seems to be the question of the evening,” He muttered and shook his head, “Sorry,” He sighed lightly, “This is an ongoing thing every other week. Elliott signs us up because he’s trying to find ‘the one’” He said using his fingers as quotation marks, “I’ve told him before he’s not going to find it at speed dating but…” he trailed off, “And Santana is here too,” he mentioned, glancing past Blaine at the girls table. He finally looked back at Blaine and held his gaze for a moment, “I’m surprised to see you, too, honestly…” he trailed off, “I didn’t think speed dating would be your thing.” Blaine:
Blaine chuckled a little at Kurt's answer, immediately feeling a little more relaxed. When Kurt told him that Elliott and Santana were there too, Blaine felt a little relieved, and he hoped that meant this was just another one of Elliott's attempts at getting Kurt to date. "Well, I'll make sure to say hi to them later, then." "That's because it isn't," he said, with a sigh. "Do you remember Jason and Benji, from my dance class? We agreed to go out tonight, but they just conveniently forgot to mention that there was a speed dating event going on here. I'm not exactly looking for a date, though, so I'm not sure how much longer I can take this." Kurt:
“I’m sure they’ll like that,” Kurt  smiled a little, “Santana is forever in your debt for getting us that beach house. She can’t wait to get everyone incoherent I think,” he couldn’t help but laugh fondly. He nodded when Blaine asked if he remembered Jason and Benji. They seemed nice enough, but didn’t run along on the same crowd as Kurt. Of course, Kurt didn’t really have many friends from NYADA. He’d burned bridges with the Adam’s Apples when he came back to New York engaged. “You know we could always bail and actually go to the club. I don’t think I’ve met this many self absorbed people in a while, anyway…” he moved his hands on the table and shrugged, “besides you’re better company than any of these guys.” Blaine:
Blaine laughed. "Well, I'm definitely not going to say no to some of that Snixx Juice. And it wasn't entirely selfless - I honestly can't wait to go. This trip is going to be so much fun." When Kurt suggested bailing and going to a club together instead, Blaine's face lit up. "Really? I mean, yes, God, please. Let's get out of here," he said. "None of those guys can compare to you. One of them asked if I was Latino, and when I told him I'm not, he said I could still call him 'Papi'." Blaine shuddered, just when the buzzer hit again. "I think that's our cue..." Kurt:
Kurt laughed and shook his head, “I just keep thinking of that drink on Orange is the New Black.” He smiled at Blaine and nodded, “me too. It will be nice to just take a break and re-balance.” A blush came to Kurt’s cheese when Blaine said none of the guys compared to him and laughed at his next statement, “okay, Sinéad,” He joked and then stood when the buzzer went off. Instead of sitting down at the hopeful looking guy across from him, Kurt smirked up at Blaine and nodded quickly, “Yes. Yes it is.” He turned and watched as Elliott was busy flirting with  someone, then
made a dash for the door, laughing as he exited and leaned against the wall, letting the fresh air hit him. “This is probably the best thing that could have happened tonight.” Blaine:
"Careful, or I might break into song right here," Blaine joked. When Kurt rushed to the door, Blaine followed right behind him, laughing as they exited the bar. "I can't believe we just did that," he chuckled, leaning against the wall as well. "And I agree. I'm so glad you were there to save me from all those other guys. And I meant what I said. One guy was wearing that zebra brooch you wore at your very first Warblers meeting, but he definitely couldn't pull it off, unlike you." Kurt:
Kurt couldn’t help but giggle as he looked at Blaine- giggle. “At least two people left so the event is still even. I’ll have to text Santana and Elliott later and let them know I’m alive. Just not that desperate.” He pushed off The wall into a standing position and smiled a little, “You remember my brooch from my first warbler meeting?” He asked softly and then ducked his head. “I guess I was really trying to stand out a little, huh?” He started walking, albeit slowly, “I mean, I had you to impress.” Blaine:
"Yes, I'm sure they'll be fine without us," Blaine laughed. "I should probably text Jason and Benji too, though, so they don't think I got kidnapped or eloped or something." He smiled at Kurt when they started walking and nodded. "Of course I remember. I loved how you managed to wear a uniform and still give it a personal touch, and I definitely hadn't seen anyone with an animal brooch at Dalton before," he teased. "So, please know that it worked. I was impressed." Kurt:
Kurt smirked and shrugged, "Eloping isn't a bad idea," he joked but then scrunched his nose and shook his head, "Please remind me never to say that again." He laughed a little and glanced at Blaine, "I tried to conform to the Warbler code and not stand out after my first solo.  And my fashion sense suffered because of it," he joked and shook his head, "but I'm glad it got your attention."  Kurt nodded once, "Unlike me, you didn't really have to do much to get my attention," he joked, "I think I was smitten right from the start." Blaine:
Blaine laughed. "I was about to say - you've been planning weddings since you were what, six? You are the last person on the planet who would elope." He hooked his arm through Kurt's, smiling. "Oh, please, your fashion sense could never suffer. It was always still there," he teased, ducking his head when Kurt mentioned that he was smitten right from the start. "Well, you didn't have to do much either. I always knew I wanted to spend as much time with you as possible. My mind just hadn't quite figured out yet why." Kurt:
Kurt smiled and moved a little closer to Blaine when he hooked their arms together and let their shoulders knock, "Oh the amount of weddings I put on for my power rangers could be a coffee table book."  He grinned and shook his head, "You know I should really think of doing that. I might make a small fortune when I reach Broadway."  With a roll of his eyes, Kurt shook his head, "Oh please. You were in love with the guy from the Gap.  If you only realized how heartbroken I was. I had an emergency sleepover with Rachel and Mercedes the night I found out."
Blaine:
"You know, that's an excellent idea," Blaine grinned. "I do expect to get a signed copy, though." His face scrunched up a little when Kurt mentioned Jeremiah. "Please don't remind me of that. It took a lot of effort to suppress that memory," he sighed. "And I wasn't in love, it was just a silly crush. An older gay guy was paying attention to me, that's all it took. I wish I wouldn't have been so clueless about your feelings for me, though. I was so busy trying to be a good friend to you and I really didn't want to screw things up." Kurt:
"Oh of course. I'll dedicate a whole page to you. Maybe I'll even create a Marvel section for you. I draw the line at Star Wars, though," Kurt smirked over at Blaine and bumped him again, then couldn't help the fond smile that came to his lips when Blaine scrunched his nose. God he was so adorable. "I mean, I could have spoken up more, I guess," he whispered and shrugged, "I did tell you that I thought you were going to sing to me, but I didn't tell you how much that would have meant to me." He glanced around and then looked over at Blaine, "You were more than a good friend, Blaine. You helped me so much much," He took in a breath and practically whispered, "I felt so alone before I met you. I was surrounded by people, but no one understood." Blaine: "A whole page and a Marvel section? Deal," Blaine grinned. "Well, telling me was pretty brave. That was you speaking up about it," he told him with a smile. "It really was just me being clueless." When Kurt told him how lonely he'd felt, Blaine put his other hand on Kurt's arm for a moment. "I could tell, that very first day when you came to Dalton," he said softly. "I saw it as soon as we sat down to talk because I knew what that felt like. And even though you were just a stranger to me back then, I wanted you to feel a little less alone." Kurt:
Kurt smiled softly over at Blaine and shook his head, "Well you really did help me so much back then. With the whole Karofsky thing and," he shook his head, "I did feel less alone when I found you. Not to make this sound like Dear Evan Hansen, but I definitely felt like I found you and things just clicked a little bit more."  He leaned into his arm, "So." he took a breath, "What bar are we going to?" Blaine: Blaine smiled. "You know I love a good Dear Evan Hansen reference. And I felt the same. I know that might sound weird, because I did have friends at Dalton, but you were the only one who I felt I could truly be myself around, without having to present myself in a certain way or try to come across more confident than I really was. We just had this instant connection and that felt so good, so right." When Kurt asked what bar they were going to, Blaine looked around a little. "Um... is it terrible if I say 'the nearest one'?" he chuckled. Kurt:
Kurt smiled and  pressed his lips together as they walked. He glanced down and nodded, "I remember when you told me you didn't  know what you were doing. It was the first time I really saw you, in  a way. You admitting that  you weren't so confident."Kurt shrugged,"I'm glad you  could break down  walls with me." He laughed lightly,"Well not terrible, but let's at least scope the place out before we go in. We might end up at  Country Bear night or something." Blaine:
"I really wish we could've met sooner," Blaine said, smiling at Kurt. He laughed at Kurt's comment, shaking his head a little. "Okay, you're right. I really don't like the sound of Country Bear night. Maybe our standards should be a little higher than just the first one we see. Anything else that is off limits tonight, other than Country Bear night, or are we feeling adventurous?" he joked. Kurt:
He squeezed Blaine's arm, "me, too. But I'm glad I met you at a time where I really needed someone." Kurt grinned and shrugged, then bumped Blaine's arm again "how about we play it by ear." He paused when we saw a club but saw it was S&M night. "How adventurous are we talking ?" Blaine: "Sounds perfect," Blaine grinned. When he followed Kurt's gaze and spotted the club where it was S&M night, he laughed. "Kurt, do you have something to tell me?" he joked. "You know, I probably wouldn't even protest if you wanted to go in there. There's a first time for everything, and all that, right? Although I think we might be a little under-dressed." Kurt:
Kurt arched an eyebrow, "Or over-dressed, honestly." He smirked and  shook his head, "I think there's a club around the corner. Maybe we can go there." He smirked at Blaine,"though you know I do have some leather s&m items I used to wear on a regular basis. High school me thought I could turn anything  into fashion..." He smirked, "even a harness." Blaine:
Blaine giggled. "Yeah, overdressed might be more accurate," he agreed. When Kurt mentioned the clothing items he had, Blaine grinned, and he tried really hard not to get turned on by the thought of Kurt wearing leather. "Wait, a harness? I don't think I've ever seen that one..." Kurt:
Kurt smirked and bumped Blaine’s shoulders as they walked, “a little bit more yes.” He then laughed when Blaine said he never saw that one, “I can show you sometime!” A blush came to his cheeks when he realized what he said and how it could have sounded. He turned the corner and bumped into his shoulder again. “If you want.” He cleared hood throat when he saw the club up ahead, rainbow flag waving in the light wind of the evening, “There! I don’t think they have theme nights at this one so we should be good.” Blaine:
Blaine tried his best not to laugh (or have his mind wander off again...) when Kurt offered to show him sometime. "I'd love to see it," he said. He spotted the rainbow flag almost at the exact same time as Kurt. "Perfect! Although I wouldn't have said no to an 80s theme," he chuckled, as they started to walk towards the club. Kurt:
Kurt grinned at him, “We should totally look for a club that has an 80’s night. Oh the outfits I could create!” He grinned and reached into his pocket to grab his wallet and get his ID out. “I haven’t been to the club with you since Rachel’s opening night,” he said and glanced at Blaine. They would go every now and then, but of course after they broke up they stopped. It was for the best, Kurt thought back then. But right now, Kurt knew exactly what he wanted. And it was Blaine. Blaine:
"That would be so much fun! I'm sure we'd look amazing," Blaine grinned. "We did Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go in Glee once, and everyone looked so good." Blaine grabbed his wallet too, grabbing his fake ID, just to be safe. "I know it's been way too long," he sighed. "That was such a fun night, though. And I'm so glad we're doing this now," he said. Kurt:
Kurt looked at Blaine and shook his head, “I’m honestly devastated that I missed that. Did I tell you I sent a video of my performance of that song into Madam Tibideaux for my second audition during the mid semester applications? She hated it,” he rolled his eyes, “I guess I did get the last laugh eventually.” He smiled And nodded, “I am too. It sure beats us going speed dating that’s for sure.” He smiled and handed the bouncer his ID and then waited for Blaine. He smiled brightly at him once he was in and nodded, “I see a spot right on the dance floor just for us,” he said and gripped Blaine’s hand so they wouldn’t lose each other as the walked to the dance floor. Blaine:
"Really? You have to show me that performance sometime!" Blaine said. "She was obviously wrong. I bet you sounded absolutely amazing. And you sure did get the last laugh." Blaine handed the bouncer his ID as well, then followed Kurt inside. "I was going to suggest grabbing a drink first so we can text everyone, but you're right, that spot is ours," he chuckled. He held onto Kurt's hand tightly as he followed him to the dance floor and immediately slipped his arms around Kurt's shoulders. "As much as I'd love to be adventurous sometime, this definitely beats S&M night too," he chuckled, leaning in so he could speak into Kurt's ear. Kurt:
Kurt smirked over at Blaine, “Maybe we were on the same wavelength even if we were broken up back then.” He smiled softly  over at him. Kurt grinned once Blaine was fine with dancing and slid one of his arms around Blaine’s waist, then leaned in and whispered, “Yeah I’m not ready for that tonight. That’s something I’d keep between closed doors,” he grinned against his ear then pulled back a little and started dancing, his body moving to the music. Blaine:
"I guess we were," Blaine smiled. "Just like we were tonight," he joked. The words Kurt whispered in his ear sent a pleasant shiver down Blaine's spine and he enjoyed feeling Kurt's arm around his waist a little too much. "I think that's a wise choice." He started dancing too, making sure to stay close to Kurt, but not too close, and he loved how they never skipped a beat as they danced together effortlessly. Kurt:
Kurt smirked at Blaine and shrugged a shoulder.  He danced closely with Blaine and then turned to dance with his back towards Blaine, and laughed when Rhianna’s song S&M came on. He tossed his head back and whispered in Blaine’s ear praying his back against Blaine’s chest, “I’m seeing a trend.” Blaine:
Blaine rested his hands on Kurt's waist when he pressed his back into his chest, laughing when the song started playing. "Oh my God, it's as if they heard us," he said. "Not that I'm complaining. It's a good song." He really wanted to wrap his arms around Kurt's waist entirely, close that last bit of distance between them, but didn't - he didn't want to overstep. Kurt:
Kurt grinned and turned back facing Blaine, moving his arms up as he danced and sang a song with the song , “Sticks and stones may break my bones but whips and chains excite me” He smirked at Blaine as he sang and gave him a wink then moved his hands to Blaine’s shoulders to steady himself as he practically tripped over his foot. He grinned at Blaine and hmmed, “You are much more fun to dance with than those guys Elliott tried to find for me,” he rolled his eyes. Blaine:
Blaine grinned when Kurt started to sing along and soon joined him. "'Cause I may be bad, but I'm perfectly good at it, sex in the air, I don't care, I love the smell of it." He was about to grab Kurt's hand to twirl him when Kurt placed his hand on his shoulder to steady himself. "Careful," Blaine laughed, quickly moving his hand to Kurt's waist again to help steady him. "Does that mean I'm officially your gay bar superstar?" he joked. "You are definitely my favourite dance partner. I've danced with a few guys the few times I went out with Benji and Jason, but it was never as fun." Kurt:
A grin came to Kurt’s lips and her quickly tried to hide it. Blaine singing this song to him honestly turned him in more than he really wanted to say. He hmmed when Blaine grabbed his hips, but continued dancing, his hips moving against Blaine’s hands. Another quick  laugh escaped, “I guess you could possibly be my gay bay superstar.” He bit his lower lip and nodded, “it’s because we know each other. And whenever I dance with someone else they get all grabby,” Kurt said and moved hood hand down to mimic a grabbing motion at Blaine’s sides, “and they expect way more than a dance.” He rolled his eyes. He took in a breath once the song changed. “I’m going to go get us a drink. What do you want?” Blaine:
"Well, consider that my mission for tonight," Blaine laughed. When Kurt said it was because they knew each other, he nodded. "Definitely." He chuckled a little when Kurt mimicked a grabbing motion at his sides. "Some guys really don't know what personal boundaries are, do they? I know we're at a club, but they could at least ask. And it's always the ones you don't expect it from." He pouted a little when Kurt said he was going to get them a drink. "Alright, but don't stay away for too long. A sex on the beach, please, to stick to the theme," he chuckled. Kurt:
"Well then. I can't wait to see you...rise to the test," Kurt smirked and danced just a little bit, "No. Guys- at least the ones I've come across- want take you to bed and then never see you again.  Which is why I told Elliott that meeting the love of your life won't happen at a club. Or speed dating. Or anything like that."  He shook his head at Blaine's pout, "I promise I'll be right back."  He definitely was enjoying this time with Blaine, so he wasn't going to stay away for long.  The second he heard Blaine say sex on a beach, Kurt smirked and leaned towards his ear, lowering his voice an octave, "We are going to the Hamptons.  So play your cards right and you might get just that."  He took a few steps backward and winked at him, then left to go to the bar. Blaine:
"I might be willing to give speed dating a chance in an alternate universe, but I definitely agree that meeting the love of your life at a club is simply impossible," Blaine chuckled. When Kurt whispered in his ear with that low voice before winking and walking off, Blaine just stood there watching him disappear into the crowd for a moment, a smirk on his face. He didn't even try to hide what kind of effect Kurt still had on him, and he was looking forward to their trip to the Hamptons even more now. When Blaine turned around to start dancing on his own, there was a guy standing right in front of him who immediately started to dance with him. He kept some distance between them, though, so Blaine figured he wasn't like the guys he'd just discussed with Kurt and that dancing with him until Kurt got back wouldn't do any harm. It was just dancing, right? After a little while, the guy leaned in towards his ear to talk to him, placing a hand on Blaine's shoulder as he did so. "Was that your boyfriend?" he asked Blaine, who shook his head. "No. He's my ex, actually, but we're still best friends," Blaine told him. He almost added that Kurt was also still the love of his life, but he figured that he didn't have to tell this stranger everything. The guy started making small talk after that, talking about the song that was playing, his hand still on Blaine's shoulder. In the middle of their conversation, he moved his hand from Blaine's shoulder to his hip. Blaine was about to take a step back and looked up at him to politely say no, when the stranger leaned in and kissed him. Blaine was taken aback for a second, then quickly pushed the guy away and took a step back. Kurt:
Kurt went to the bar and waited for the bartender to come towards him. He leaned over the bar and smiled at the bartender “I’ll have a Sex on the Beach and a Rim Job,” Kurt said and leaned back after. “Yeah you will,” a guy next to him said and leaned in “not drinking that all by yourself are you?” He said and arched an eyebrow moving a little closer. He was flattered, and he really couldn’t help the blush. High school Kurt wouldn’t have been able to say those drink names, much less be seen at a club like this. “No not alone. I’m taken.” He lied. But it was the lie he’d used every time he came out with Elliott, because he wasn’t interested. “Doesn’t bother me if it doesn’t bother you.” “It does, actually,” Kurt said and turned when his drinks were there. He set down the money and a tip and then walked over towards where Blaine was, pausing only slightly when he saw him dancing close with another guy. He swallowed thickly and walked with a little more purpose, getting there when they had just started kissing. “Excuse me.” Kurt saw Blaine pull away and arched an eyebrow. He didn’t realize that this kiss wasn’t mutual, that it was unwanted. All he saw was Blaine’s lips on someone else’s.  “It seems like I might be interrupting something,” he said, with a little too much venom in his words. He pressed Blaine’s drink into his hands and then looked at the guy who was standing in front of them. He felt anger rise and he knew tears were imminent, so instead of sticking around, Kurt pressed his drink into the other guys chest watching him take it “Enjoy the Rim Job!” He said and started walking towards the door.  He was feeling a little too claustrophobic and he needed to get out of there. Blaine:
It all happened too fast. The second he pushed the guy away, Kurt was suddenly there as well, pressing his drink into his hands. Before Blaine fully realised what was going on, Kurt was already storming off. Blaine had seen the look on his face, though, and the last thing he wanted was for Kurt to think that he wanted to kiss that guy. "Thanks a lot," Blaine told him with a glare, pressing his own drink into the guy's chest as well before running after Kurt. "Kurt, wait! Please wait. This isn't what it looks like." Kurt:
Kurt rolled his eyes and shook his head as he kept walking once he heard his name come from Blaine’s lips. This felt all too familiar. It removed him so much of their first breakup. But then- had Blaine even done anything wrong? They weren’t even together. Once he got outside Kurt turned towards Blaine, “Oh? It wasn’t? So you aren’t kissing some scum bag in a bar?” He said and crossed joss arms, “because it honestly looked that way to me. Looked like you were having fun dancing with him, too.” Blaine: Blaine followed Kurt outside. He hated seeing Kurt this upset, and he hoped that Kurt would at least let him explain so that the night wouldn't end in both of them going their separate way and feeling awful. Blaine sighed after hearing Kurt out. "Look, I know what that looked like. But no, that's not what happened. He kissed me, which I definitely didn't see coming, and I immediately pushed him away," he explained. "Kurt, I just told you that I'm not interested in kissing some random guy at a bar. And I meant that." I only want to kiss you, he thought, but it's not like he could say that out loud. "If that's what I wanted, I would have just stayed at that stupid speed dating event. All I wanted tonight was to have a fun night with you. And yes, we were dancing, but there was at least a foot between us until right before you got back, so I didn't think he'd do something like that. I thought it was just innocent." Blaine realised now that he had, once again, been painfully oblivious to the guy's intentions, mentally kicking himself for not realising. KURT:
Kurt rolled his eyes and looked away as Blaine started explaining himself. He honestly didn’t know what to believe anymore. Was all of this flirting he was doing tonight for nothing? Did Blaine even want him anymore? He felt a tear prick the corner of his eye and took in a deep breath to get to compose himself, “Yes, well. Obviously you haven’t realized how oblivious you are. It isn’t hard to realize that most gay men find you attractive, Blaine. It’s always been like that. Ever since high school.” Blaine could honestly have anyone why would he waste his time with me. he shook his head and back up a little feeling more tears start to pool his eyes, “I’m sorry. I can’t do this. I have to go.” Blaine:
Blaine knew that Kurt was right, but it still stung a little to hear him say it out loud. He swallowed thickly, trying to fight the tears that were starting to pool in his own eyes now as well. He wanted to tell Kurt how many guys he'd seen staring at him since they walked in too, how Blaine himself couldn't take his eyes off Kurt tonight, or ever. But he knew that wouldn't change anything right now, that that was not the point. "Kurt, please. I'm sorry. The last thing I wanted was to ruin our night. I - I know I should have realised, but I swear I didn't. We don't have to stay here, just... please don't go." Kurt:
He wiped the tears from his eyes angrily and closed them. He didn’t want to be crying in public because of a guy. No matter how much he loved him. Blaine begging him to stay, though, made his chest tight. It didn’t take a rocket scientist to know that Blaine had abandonment issues. It had followed them throughout their relationship. It’s part of what caused their first breakup. Kurt shook his head and looked away. “We aren’t even together anymore and here I am throwing a fit because you’re dancing with another guy.” He took another breath to try to calm himself down. He didn’t have control over this situation. He always had to have control. His therapist  had told him that he needed to just let go and let whatever happens, happen, but he couldn’t. Not when I came to Blaine. “I’m sorry, I just can’t.” He turned and felt tears start to slip from his eyes as he walked towards the nearest subway and put a hand to his mouth to try to keep the cries in.

Moon Signs Pt. 1
My take on moon signs based off people I know! Now personally, I tend to have more strong opinions on my favorite moon signs than favorite sun signs. I feel like moon signs really indicate more about a person’s personality than their sun sign, imo. It does rule emotions and behavior after all. With sun signs I struggle with picking favorites because I do genuinely have people I like of every zodiac sign. I just go by the number of people I like from each zodiac sign. Anyhoo, here’s my view on each moon sign! 
Note: These are p long bc I have such strong thoughts on moon signs so I’m splitting it into two parts. :) 
🍂 Aries Moon: Ahhh, my moon sign. I won’t be biased though, I promise. So Aries moons based off other people I know is that we low-key got anger issues LMAO. Every single Aries moon I’ve met besides myself has anger issues, with the exception of one person and she still gets irritated easily. Aries Moons are also extremely sensitive, and they tend to be overlooked for that since they’re fire signs. I’ve found that a lot of what they get angry about has to do with their feelings, if they feel they’ve been wronged this really can make them angry as they are super sensitive. They also get angry when they feel like people aren’t listening to them, as they take this very personally. I’ve also noticed that Aries moons are EXTREMELY honest, they will tell it how it is and they are extremely blunt. They don’t like to beat around the bush, and they are very direct with how they feel about something. Aries moons are also extremely passionate and spontaneous especially in relationships; they’re the ones who wanna kiss in the rain and ride horses into the sunset, that is if you can get them to settle down with you LMAO. Nah all jokes, they’re picky about who they want, but once they really fall for someone it’s very hard for them to let go. They’re also so competitive, they will play dirty. My grandpa used to let me win in checkers as a kid, my dad (who’s an Aries moon) NEVER let me win. He said me losing would help build character LMFAO. He just didn’t wanna lose.They also have strong personalities and can be SUPER impulsive. Also, if they wanna do something, they WILL do it. No one is gonna stop them. If they wanna go somewhere at 3am, they’re doing it. Sorry. You can’t stop them. LMAO. Aries moons also love to be in touch with their inner child, my dad is an Aries moon and bought himself an arcade machine out of nowhere LMAO. I also like to collect shells and watch Disney movies to remind me of my childhood. They also tend to change their views and opinions on things a lot, and mind you they have intense emotions about these things. So it can be hard to keep up w them. 
🍂 Taurus Moon: Taurus moons are just so calm, it’s scary LMAO. I know a few of them, and even if they’re anxious about something you can never tell. They always have this calm demeanor and just seem so unbothered by everything. Taurus moons also LOVE money and the finer things in life. The male Taurus moons I know work a lot just so they can have a lot of money. One of them literally said to me “Money talks” after explaining to me why they work 7 days a week, 12 hours a day doing two jobs. The crazy thing is, despite doing all that extra work, he just seemed so unbothered about it LMAO. The female Taurus moons I know tend to love really expensive clothes and dressing up. This Taurus moon I work with has such nice clothes and always dresses like she’s on a Vogue cover. Like I said, Taurus moons LOVE money and the finer things in life like expensive clothes. If they aren’t the types to dress up or be workaholics, they desire comfort. They would rather lay in bed and take hot bathes than be bothered to do all that extra stuff. They also might like to eat out at expensive restaurants, and are “foodies”. They also might be big lovers of music and have lots of different music tastes. Also, Taurus moons? STUBBORN. Good luck trying to get them to change their mind on something. Also, despite them wanting all the luxuries and comfort of life, they are SUPER grounded. They do not live in a dream world, they see life for what it is, and prefer to be on the ground than have their heads in the clouds. Also, Taurus moons, I’m sorry, but y’all can be lazy. I work with three of them, and they can be lazy. They will not do more than the bare minimum. Also, their anger is low-key scary. Especially since it can come out of nowhere since they’re calm all the time, you never know when they’re angry and if you catch them at the wrong time... well, rip. They also tend to be introverted- even if they’re social, you will not know anything about them unless you’re besties with them or related to them. Doesn’t matter how well you know them, they don’t air their dirty laundry and keep their private life private. Also one last thing, omg these people sing all the time. They love singing to themselves, every single one I’ve met does that LMAO. Anyway, love my Taurus moons. 
🍂 Gemini Moon: Gemini moons love to make people laugh LMAO and love to just sit down and have good talks with people. Their minds NEVER stop working. Good luck trying to get them to stop talking once they know you. They can and will talk about anything for hours. Now, I do admire that, but sometimes I just wanna relax and they won’t stop talking to me LMFAO. My dad’s girlfriend is a Gemini moon and at family gatherings she loves to dance around and try to get everyone else to dance. I find that Gemini moons are very active and love to move around, and try to get everyone to have fun. Definitely the life of the party. They’re super amusing and also love to tell jokes and funny stories. Now not all of them are extroverts especially if they have an earth sun sign. So that is something to consider. My cousin is a Gemini moon and tends to be more introverted, however, once she’s comfortable around someone and knows someone she’s super goofy and loves to make people laugh. Gemini moons also love to learn, they’re always teaching themselves about something. My cousin who’s a Gemini moon just randomly started teaching herself how to do sign language (she’s good at it also)! These people are also SUPER adaptable, they can get along with any kind of personality and can adapt to any situation. I’ve also noticed that they love to playfully roast people and annoy them LMAO. I have noticed that they struggle with reading the room, they tend to just continue to annoy someone and can take it too far, which can get kind of annoying. They’re also extremely curious and are always asking questions. They love to ask random questions without any context. It’s a quirk a lot of them have. Trying to tell a story to them can be frustrating because if you mention certain terms they’ll ask you what they mean LMFAO. My dad was telling a story about how he used surfing to explain physics concepts in class and his girlfriend asked what the concepts were and what they mean. Also, they’re really good at giving advice. These people would make great psychologists imo. This girl I used to talk to (who’s a Gemini moon) actually is becoming a psychologist, so there you go LMAO. 
🍂Cancer Moon: Oh Cancer moons...you guys are so sensitive. They feel everything and anything. I haven’t met a Cancer moon that isn’t an empath. They are extremely good at reading other people and sensing their motives. My mother is a Cancer moon, and she’s always been able to tell who’s toxic in my life. She doesn’t even have to meet them either, just based off of stories I tell her, she can pick it up right away. Now, everyone always says Cancer moons are super close with their family and that’s definitely not always the case. The Cancer moons I’ve met have actually had a lot of problems with their family. Now the thing that I’ve noticed with these placements is that despite how toxic their family is, they always stick by them. Even if they’re not close. So I wouldn’t say they’re all super close with their families, but they always stick up for them, which can be an issue if their family is toxic. Also, Cancer moons, SUPER MOODY. I’m sorry but like I’m a Cancer sun and they’re ten times more moody than I am LMFAO. I’ve always said they act more like the stereotypical Cancer than Cancer suns. Also, this is a super underrated placement for humor. Every Cancer moon I’ve met has been super funny. Also, a super underrated placement for anger issues. Everyone says oh yeah Aries moons have anger issues, like yes, BUT HAVE YOU GUYS SEEN CANCER MOON ANGER?! Y’all Taylor Swift is a Cancer moon and wrote a whole album about how fed up she was about the media mistreating her and the whole Kimye thing (rightfully so) but y’all see my point. They can and will fight you. They also tend to be introverted, even if they’re social, (which I rarely see), they would much rather keep to themselves. I’ve also noticed that they’re very nostalgic a lot. My Cancer moon ex used to just randomly go through childhood photos and would show them to me. They’re also EXTREMELY protective over people they love, they will KILL for the people they love. They also love to talk about their dream homes and interior decorating a lot? My Cancer moon ex was OBSESSED with coming up with his dream house and would literally draw out diagrams for me to see. My mother too, she wants to redecorate her apartment and was showing me all the potential furniture that was gonna be put in. Oh Cancer moons, LMAO. 
🍂 Leo Moon: Oh Leo moons. You guys can be so dramatic LMAO. Every Leo moon I’ve met is so dramatic; these are the types of people who get up and move around when telling a story and also do dramatic hand gestures. These are the types of people who post a black screen in middle school on Snapchat saying “Don’t hmu.” LMAO. My Leo moon friend gets so mad when I make that joke, but it’s so true. These people are also naturally super creative, the Leo moons I know love to decorate and draw. Even if they don’t do any outright creative hobbies, they have a creative streak to them. It’s weird though because despite them being very dramatic when it comes to them being angry, they struggle with expressing their personal problems to other people. (This however can be changed with other placements, but I’ve found this to be true in many cases). They don’t want people to think that they’re weak, so they put up a tough front to hide that they’re hurting. Also, Leo moons, are indeed the hype friends. My Leo moon friends gas up my Instagram posts so much. They’re also extremely loyal and don’t like to leave people out, they hate that kind of shit. They’re also extremely accepting of others, my Leo moon friend was the first person I came out to, and they accepted me right away. They also love to take pictures of EVERYTHING. Like when you go out with them, they will make you wait before eating your food so they can take video of your food together LMAO. They love to capture every moment, I personally find it very endearing. Also, a lot of people say Leo moons are super cocky. I don’t find this to be true. They can come off that way, but I’ve found they tend to actually be pretty insecure and they try to hide it by coming off as confident. I feel like Leo moons tend to put on a show a lot to hide how they truly feel, which makes it hard to get to know them. It makes me sad because they truly are such kind hearted people and all they want is to feel validation. I also found that they love to go above and beyond to make sure everyone else is happy and tend to put themselves last. I wish y’all didn’t do that, you deserve to be happy too. ;( 
🍂 Virgo Moon: Workaholics. That’s how I’m starting this LMAO. My friend is a Virgo moon and works her ass off. She goes above and beyond in school for starters. For this anatomy course we had together, she sent me a whole diagram she made of the human brain on Notability and it was so intricately made. She also works her ass off at her job and takes care of her siblings. I feel like this falls into Virgo placements putting others before themselves. Virgo moons are definitely the types to be like this. They want to make everyone happy and they want to feel useful so they do all these extra things to feel that way. Virgo moons are also super smart, and have the best study methods. Low-key jealous. They have this incredible drive and are always on top of things and have a routine. Also Virgo moons LOVE animals. My friend who’s a Virgo moon, works at a dog sitting business and has 6 pets at home. They LOVE animals. They also like honesty and bluntness; they will provide you with that as well. They don’t like beating around the bush or lying to make other people feel better. You wanna know if you look bad in a dress? Ask a Virgo moon, LMFAO. I’ve also found that they struggle with wanting to be perfect all the time, and struggle with anxiety. As I said, they want to be the best at everything, and this can be a big source of anxiety for them. These people also find themselves attracting people who they want to “fix”. They also give amazing advice and are super reliable. Also, last minute plans? They HATE them. Want a Virgo moon to hate you? Try making spontaneous plans with them LMAO. Virgo moons also have great memories; they’ll remember every little detail about you. Also Virgo moons are the types to take charge in a group project and run the whole thing because they don’t trust anyone. Virgo moons also always appear to be calm and collected, even though many of them frequently deal with anxiety a lot. Also, they’re low-key underrated for humor. They have a very dry and self-deprecating sense of humor LMAO. They also go above and beyond in relationships because they enjoy seeing the people they love being happy. 
Anyhoo, this wraps up part one!  Also these are just my opinions, so don’t get offended I tried to praise and drag all of them equally <3 
Part 2 here.

BTS Reactions: Their S/O is an Actual Witch
a/n: I pulled from a bunch of different witchcraft traditions for this one, just to give it a little variety. Once again my own life inspired a reaction post concept :')
REQUESTS ARE OPEN, send some in please! I'd love to hear your ideas!
Please note that the spelling of magic with an added k at the end is intentional.
You already know this was minimally edited. Proceed with caution. <3
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jin | tarot:
The first few times Jin noticed a deck of cards laying around your apartment, shortly after your relationship had begun, he didn’t think much about it. He really had no reason to, honestly. It wasn’t until he overheard you quietly talking to yourself while setting out cards on the table in front of you one evening that he even paid much attention. “Spirit, is there any more information you can give me about this topic?” you muttered to yourself before shuffling your deck, taking the cards that flew out and laying them face up in front of you.
Considering this odd behavior, Jin observed as you peered intently at the cards, the wheels turning in your head practically visible. After a minute you felt his eyes on you, instinctively turning to look at him, taking note of his bewildered and vaguely concerned expression. That was when he finally got brave enough to ask what on earth you were doing. You smiled at him, patiently explaining that you read the cards in order to get guidance or insight on basically anything in life, and that they often answered questions that would otherwise go unexplained or without clarification.
He nodded slowly, sort of understanding what you were saying to him, though still kind of giving you a weird look. You could tell that just then, Jin thought the whole concept was weird, but at least he wasn’t opposed to it as far as you could tell. Not everyone was even willing to entertain such ideas.
After a few months, however, he regarded it very differently, having observed your use of tarot over that period of time. You felt a surge of warmth and satisfaction the first time Jin entered your apartment, immediately stating “Get your cards, I need advice.” Thus he grew to appreciate your craft.
Yoongi | wicca / paganism / related holidays:
You never actually had a moment where you told Yoongi about your practice of witchcraft, and you definitely didn't get into the religious aspects. During the early stages of your relationship, you just kind of did what you needed to do without regard for explaining your actions. He definitely noticed the small things you did, simple things like burning sage. He didn’t act in response to this little action, just became more observant and curious about your practices and beliefs. Over time he just absorbed the things you did, then did his own research to learn the purposes of your actions. Unbeknownst to you, he had learned, entirely on his own, a great deal about your witchcraft. You had no idea.
One day Yoongi noticed that you had marked Samhain on your calendar in big red letters, and he decided to ask you about it. You were shocked when he inquired about your plans for the holiday, having been fully unaware of his knowledge of its existence. You explained to him what you were planning to do, and he surprised you again by understanding what you meant without further explanation.
A month passed and October 31 was only a week away. You were having dinner with Yoongi and the rest of the members, who were also your close friends. Conversation shifted to Halloween parties and who was doing what. Several of the boys had decided to attend a particular party, buzzing with excitement as they discussed costume ideas. They then proceeded to invite you and Yoongi to join them.
“Sorry, we can’t go. We have plans.” Yoongi replied, earning a scoff from Jimin. “Plans for a nap, hyung? Come on, for just one night quit being such a grandpa.” He complained. You didn’t know how to explain that you weren’t just being antisocial this time. Thankfully Yoongi beat you to replying, “Y/N and I will be observing Samhain. We can’t join you.” He stated matter-of-factly, warming your heart with his support of your beliefs, but thoroughly confusing the other members.
“You’re doing what…?” Hobi inquired, baffled. Yoongi patiently explained. “Samhain, it’s the same day as Halloween. It’s a pagan holiday marking the end of the harvest season and the beginning of the cold part of the year. There are various rituals and activities to be done to observe the day. Y/N and I will not be able to come to the party because we will be busy with Samhain tasks. As a witch it is a very important occasion, the witch’s new year.” You were impressed at how well he was able to explain the situation to the others.
With that, the other members backed off about the party, but they were suddenly filled with curiosity about you being a witch and all the things that entailed. The bad news was that you were bombarded with questions. The good news was not only were your friends curious and supportive, but Yoongi was supporting you wholeheartedly without you even realizing. You felt very lucky to have him.
Hoseok | astrology:
Not long after meeting him initially, you began to get the feeling that Hoseok was a skeptic when it came to more esoteric subjects. As such, you didn’t even mention astrology to him until you’d been together for a couple of months already. You were sitting at a cafe, sipping your warm drinks and casually catching up after a busy few days at work.
You thought it best to use something he was familiar with as a segue into the topic, so you brought up the concept of the Chinese zodiac and the meaning of each animal’s years, as well as how that is often seen as an indicator of compatibility for relationships or even just friendships. Hobi fully understood your point, though he wasn’t sure where you were going with the conversation overall.
You then spoke about Western Astrology and a general overview of how it is used to determine compatibility as well. You thought it best to keep it simple so he didn’t get confused. You explained that to be able to get the information you were wondering about, you needed the time he was born. Hoseok shrugged, because like most people, he didn’t know his birth time off the top of his head. You suggested lightly that perhaps he could ask his mom, remaining nonchalant in your tone, but employing the puppy dog eyes you knew he could never resist.
Only minutes later, he was calling his mother to ask for the information. You were pleased that you’d managed to get a hold of his birth chart, as that was the basis of everything you wanted to know, and you made a mental note to do some deeper analysis when you got home. Your greatest curiosity was the synastry chart for your relationship, a type of compatibility chart that overlays one person’s chart on top of the other. You didn’t expect to actually get Hobi interested in astrology. His indifferent tolerance of the subject combined with his willingness to seek information you requested were more than enough for you.
Namjoon | kitchen magick:
Namjoon, your beloved genius sweetheart of a boyfriend, was also a walking accident waiting to happen. His clumsiness was quite honestly an issue. You worried about how hard he was on himself, too, though. He was a dedicated leader and ridiculously busy at all times  thanks to his love for his work. As a kitchen witch, you did what you could to use your talents to help him.
On a day when he seemed particularly scatterbrained, you made him peanut butter banana toast for breakfast, with peanut butter AND bananas for luck and bread for protection and prosperity. When Namjoon was stressed about writer’s block, you made him your special hot chocolate recipe, with vanilla extract to promote calm thoughts and a sprinkle of gingerbread crumbs for creativity. When he was burnt out from hectic schedules, you made him lemon tea with sugar, lemons being for rejuvenation and healing, while sugar was for happiness and sweetness in life.
One evening Joon remarked how your cooking always made him feel better, and you explained that it was because you used kitchen magick. He’d had no idea until that point, and while he was shocked he was also extremely intrigued, wanting to learn more about your craft. From then on, Namjoon was always sure to ask what the food was for before happily consuming it, in awe of its efficacy as well as your thoughtfulness in making it for him.
Jimin | candle magick:
You really didn’t know how or when you should explain to Jimin about your inclination toward candle magick, or that you were a witch in general. You didn’t just stick to your own personal practice, either. You had a little business selling spell and intention candles online as well. You decided, however, that until you could figure out how to explain it all, you’d just go about your regular routine and activities without saying anything about them to Jimin.
What you hadn’t counted on was Jimin’s inherently sweet, helpful, and supportive nature. The first time he’d appeared when you were working on your candles, you really had no idea what to say to him, so you just sort of smiled and kept doing your thing. Your heart warmed when, after a few minutes of observing you, Jimin jumped in and started helping with your task.
The two of you were sorting components to put into the batch of protection candles. Most of the ingredients went directly into the wax, but there were a few you liked to put on top, which was what you and Jimin were organizing. Each candle was topped with black salt and sea salt, plus a piece of Snowflake Obsidian and a tiny pentacle charm, finished off with a cinnamon stick and a bayleaf half submerged in wax, half sticking out.
Jimin was helpfully making a pile of the topping components for each candle so that they would be ready when you got to the stage of assembling the candles. It wasn’t until the little piles were finished, the tins for the candles to be poured in were neatly arranged in front of you, and you had begun putting the actual ingredients into the candle wax that Jimin even questioned why you were doing this. Promising to explain once finished, you poured each of the candles into the tins and added the topping items.
Leaving the candles to cool and harden, you explained it all to Jimin - about your being a witch, about your candle shop, and about the purpose of the batch he’d just helped you create. You braced yourself for a bad reaction, conditioned to expect that after years of being bombarded with others’ distaste for your craft. Shockingly, though, Jimin just smiled and asked if he could help you make your candles more often, admitting that he’d had a lot of fun today, and that he thought it would be a great way to spend more time with you.
Taehyung | crystals:
At first it was nothing but noticing all the crystal jewelry you often wore. When you and Tae were just getting to know each other, he’d always compliment you on your style or on specific pieces, like a quartz point necklace or obsidian beaded bracelet. You knew your choice in accessories could be seen as a tad unusual, so you were happy that he seemed to appreciate it.
But his casual interest in your jewelry was nothing compared to the first time he came to your apartment. He was in awe of the numerous crystals of every shape and size that were scattered around your space, the epitome of an “ooh shiny!” reaction. It amused you greatly, especially when he asked you about your “rock collection” and where they all came from. They truly were impossible to miss, with many of them in every room of your place.
You half expected him to shy away when you started explaining the reason for your crystal collection and the purposes of each piece, but surprisingly he remained just as interested, listening closely in fascination. He asked specifically about the big pieces first, which made sense considering they were the most noticeable. You had quite a few amethyst pieces, as well as some large clear quartz and an abundance of huge chunks of rose quartz (your favorite, so you kept a lot of it around).
Taehyung was so intrigued that you spent over an hour answering his many questions, explaining the origins and properties of your various stones. He was especially interested when you explained that this was why you wore the jewelry that you did. By the time the conversation ended for the night (you were touched but a little exhausted by his enthusiasm after a while) Tae expressed wanting to get some small crystal bracelets to go with the bracelets ones he wore regularly, especially obsidian or black tourmaline because they were both for protection AND matched the aesthetic of his usual stash. You filed that information away, making a note to surprise him with a few later. By the time you’d been together almost a year, he was deeply into the crystal interest just like you were, having learned all their properties and even begun gifting some to friends for various occasions.
Jungkook | general witchy activities:
It took weeks and weeks of noticing unusual details about your life for Jungkook to even question why you did what you did. At first it was small things, like picking up on smells of incense and sage on you and in your apartment (after all, Jungkook has a very sensitive nose). Then he picked up on of how you would occasionally mutter things to yourself under your breath with intense focus. These things alone were perhaps a tiny bit odd, but all in all not terribly strange.
It was when you started spending a lot more time together that your behaviors began to seem weird to him. Like the little table in the corner of your living room that was covered with a bunch of random objects . On one occasion he picked up a cookie from it and started to take a bite, only for you to snatch it out of his hand frantically, scolding him for taking it.
Another day, he took a drink of water from a glass mason jar that was sitting out, Once again, you took it from him as quickly as possible, saying “you can’t just drink that without knowing what you’re doing!” Other than being a waste of moon water, thankfully this incident was harmless, but it might not always be if care were not taken.
Jungkook was thoroughly confused, and honestly, a little bit freaked out. He actually went to Namjoon looking for advice, literally asking him “why is my girlfriend so weird?”, leaving Namjoon doing his best to hold back laughter. “Jungkookie, she’s a witch. The cookie you took was an offering on her altar, and you were drinking moon water from that jar. I suggest you ask more questions and be more aware, then everything won’t seem so strange.” Thankfully, Jungkook followed his hyung’s advice, and there were far fewer magical mishaps after that.
a/n: I adore feedback AND requests! Please feel free to send some my way. <3

Let’s talk about zodiacs and TPN Part 1
This is largely inspired by the fact that I talk about the characters’ zodiacs nonstop in the fanfic I’m working on for my tpn witch au, and I’ve been chortling to myself the entire time about how well some of them fit their sign and how some of them just... don’t. I’m going to simply infodump about each character, their sign, element, and some attributes they fit to a t while others don’t make sense. I will also touch on compatibility for all you shippers out there, don’t worryyy. Now this isn’t at all a critique or review of the characters themselves— I know astrology is not the first thing authors consider when choosing character birthdays, if they even do at all, this is simply me rambling about my hyperfixation and projecting onto fictional characters like we all do.
A couple last notes— one character in particular (cough cough Ray) has a different “canon” birthdate from “actual” so I’ll discuss both. Also, while I will be doing surface level research to make sure I’m not talking out of my ass, im not a professional astrologist, I’m simply a witch with an enthusiasm for zodiacs. Well then, without further ado, let’s talk about the kiddos.
Emma
Birthdate: August 22nd
Sign: Leo
Element: Fire
An overview: The funniest thing to me about Emma is that she’s literally the epitome of a Leo. Fire signs are generally very outgoing and energetic—they talk a lot and tend to be the leaders of the packs. Leos in particular are incredibly admirable and truly know their way around a conversation. If I ever wanted to get stuck in an elevator for 48 hours with no wifi or connection to the outside world and only one random stranger to talk to for the entire duration, I would pick a Leo in a heartbeat. Emma is very much the leader-type, she’s someone everyone pauses and listens to when she calls for their attention, and she always prefers to talk her way out of conflict rather than fight—but not in an underhanded manipulative way, no, Leos are very genuine with their feelings and will be upfront about their reasons for their actions.
Take this scene between Emma and Leuvis for example— this to me is about the closest to perfect of a summary of what Leos are like, and how Emma fits her sign beautifully.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
She doesn’t want to fight, but she will if she has to—for the good of her friends and the good of humanity. She can stick to her ideals and yet extend a hand to the enemy anyway. This is what makes Leos such a force to be reckoned with in leadership roles.
Compatibility and ships: I know I know, this is the part you’re most excited about. I’m going to attempt to refrain from sharing my opinion on each ship itself, I will simply point out which have the highest compatibility levels. First of all, essentially all signs are most compatible with 1. Other signs of the same element and 2. Their compliment sign, their elemental opposite.
Since Emma is a fire sign, she’s generally compatible with other fire signs (Sagittarius, Aries, and of course Leo) as well as Air signs (Aquarius, Gemini, and Libra). So speaking broadly, she’s compatible of course with Norman as an Aries, as well as Ray IF he truly is an Aquarius. But if we narrow it down a little bit, I should mention that fire signs being fire signs can often clash with each other because both their energies are so high (personal experience lmao), and therefore their elemental opposite, air, are generally the way to go. Usually you’ll find on astrological charts and sites that Leos are most compatible with Geminis and Aquariuses, so Ray again if he is an Aquarius, and then we bring Violet into the picture because she’s a Gemini. (Uh, speaking as a Gemini, Leos are my favorite people to date, and I always seem to crush on them as well. I have a problem. A Leo problem.) I’m so sorry Gilemma shippers but fire and earth signs are like the worst combo, I don’t know how this happened because I love Gilemma with all my heart. The stars simply did not align for us this time
Norman
Birthdate: March 21st
Sign: Aries
Element: Fire
Overview: okay listen. I didn’t believe Norman was an Aries at first because he’s not as high energy as most fire signs, but then the more I thought about it, the more it just makes sense. The most key trait to an Aries is loyalty. They are so incredibly loyal and caring to the people they love that they often neglect themselves in the process. They can be very quick to anger if someone hurts or insults their friend, and are unafraid to start a fight or commit morally gray or even black actions in service of their loved ones. Point is you don’t mess with an Aries’ family or friends. You will get burned.
All the loyalty applies to Norman so incredibly well—the way that his plans and actions revolve entirely around Emma and Ray, and the way that he sacrifices himself for their escape even though he’s terrified of dying. But even more so this loyalty strikes you in the face when he returns as William Minerva, willing and committed to full on genocide all to keep his friends alive and safe. As I’ve said Aries are quick to anger, which seemingly isn’t very present in cool-headed, thoughtful Norman, but then you remember this:
Tumblr media
Look at his expression. Even if he doesn’t easily lose his cool, when he does it’s terrifying. So essentially Norman is a much more subtle Aries— he’s not in your face aggressive or full of energy, but he has all the hidden signs. So yeah, I honestly can’t think of any other sign that describes him better. Norman is an Aries.
Compatibility and ships: being a fire sign and all, Norman’s compatibility is actually very similar to Emma’s. He’s compatible with other Fire signs (Sagittarius, Leo, and Aries) as well as Air signs (Libra, Aquarius, and Gemini). Speaking broadly that makes him compatible with Emma and Ray again, but narrowing it down Aries are much better in general with Libras and Leos so congrats Noremma shippers you won.
Ray
“Canon” Birthdate: January 15th
“Actual” Birthdate: February 5th
“Canon” sign: Capricorn
“Actual” sign: Aquarius
“Canon” Element: Earth
“Actual” Element: Air
Overview: alright Ray is a bit of a mixed bag to unpack. Because it’s been stated that Ray’s January 15th birthday is not his actual birthday outside of the source material, then it’s reasonable for me to count both birthdays because people have different ideas of what’s canon and what’s not. Interestingly enough though, Ray does indeed fit well enough into both the Capricorn and Aquarius signs, however I personally believe one shows through him better than the other.
We’ve been talking about fire signs for Emma and Norman so it’s finally time to dive into two other elements! We’ll start with Capricorn then, the Earth sign. The most important thing to remember is that the Earth signs are the most grounded and practical. If you want someone who can give you logical and rational advice, your best bet would be the Earth signs (Air signs are also good at this but this ain’t about them. Although you will notice some overlap in traits between these two, particularly in Capricorns and Aquariuses).
We can already see the ‘practical’ side show through in Ray by the way he hyperfocuses on taking Norman and Emma to escape but insists on leaving the other kids behind. This isn’t to say he doesn’t feel for them, on the contrary, Earth signs are indeed very in tune with their emotions and empathy, but Capricorns really know how to set that part of them aside in favor of the calm and certain route. They like tangible solutions, things they can grasp with the least amount of risk, and they’re very resistant to changes—like giant rocks. This is also noticeable in how Ray gets so very flustered by Norman and Emma’s impulsivity. He clashes with both of them because Earth signs prefer to take things slow while Fire signs just like to make a leap and hope for the best.
Tumblr media
Note how Emma says “not that I mind...” meanwhile Ray is out here going “I MIND!!” Which we learn is because of his identity as the spy. He’s got his own plan and a tangible solution to shoot for, and Norman and his impulsivity and Emma going along with it is messing everything up. Thus, he forcibly retakes control of the situation via making a deal with Norman after the traitor is revealed. Very Capricorn stuff.
And if you want an image that just completely sums up the Capricorn in Ray, here you go:
Tumblr media
On the OTHER hand, if we’re to go off Ray’s “actual” birthdate, which was so lovingly calculated by Tempo, then we get Aquarius Ray, the Air sign. The most important things to note about the air signs is that they’re the thinkers—the farthest from impulsive, they’re the least in tune with their emotions, and they are oh so horribly indecisive. Where Earth signs will be able to give advice that adheres to both logic and emotion, Air signs stick purely to logic. Where Earth signs are able to make calm and rational decisions, Air signs will agonize over options and often find themselves lost, searching perpetually for a solution with no cracks in it. Hello. I’m an Air sign. :’))
I’m gonna come right out and say it. I hate Aquarius men. Aquarius women and enby folks, they’re great. But Aquarius men? I may, as a Gemini, get along with them in surface level casual conversation, but behind every Aquarius man’s back is a Mal waiting to strangle him the moment I am given the opportunity. I’m so sorry Ray my son but you are not an Aquarius okay. Alright. Well, let’s just talk about the parts of him that do fit Aquarius.
So from the very start Ray is obviously a thinker, someone who considers his options very carefully before he makes a decision, and someone who hates making choices based solely on emotion. In fact, he hates expressing emotions at all. Aquariuses are very good at repressing or hiding their emotions behind other emotions (most air signs are). The most common way to do this is to put up a wall of either numbness or full-on rage. We can see both in Ray.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Instead of showing vulnerability in a healthy way, he would rather do that. Ok cool Ray.
Aquariuses can also be very quiet people, and Ray’s pretty dang quiet for most of the series too. They’re the intellectuals you know are intellectuals even though they aren’t up in your face about it. Their reserved nature makes them 10x scarier when they’re genuinely angry, because boy can an Aquarius rage.
The thing about Aquarius Ray for me here is that while Ray does indeed have Aquarius energy, it’s not the Core of Ray. To me he’s so much more of an Earth sign, so therefore I diagnose Ray with Capricorn.
Compatibility and ships: ok this is a mixed bag again. Now if you got Aquarius Ray then of course he’s compatible with other Air signs (Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius) and Fire signs (Leo, Aries, and Sagittarius), which would make him compatible with Norman and Emma for sure, as well as probably Ayshe for you Rayshe shippers because my personal HC is Aquarius Ayshe.
If you’ve got Capricorn Ray, then Capricorns are compatible with other earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) and their compliment water signs (Cancer, Pisces, and Scorpio), though they’re best with Cancers and Tauruses. So yes, Anna is a Taurus, which makes Rayanna a compatible pair. But guess who’s a Cancer. Don. ALL MY RAYDON SHIPPERS GET OUT HERE YOU COWARDS IM CALLING YOUR NAME. YOU WIN THE SHIP GAME.
Gilda
Birthdate: May 13th
Sign: Taurus
Element: Earth
Overview: So again with the practical and grounded Earth signs. Tauruses now, are the most stubborn of them, which can be a little irritating at times, but it’s also a great asset when you consider how reliable they truly are. They’re bulls, which makes them solid and difficult to move, and you can always fall back on them when you’ve leapt too far ahead. Gilda is of course the epitome of reliable, and her stubbornness does show through at times—like when she’s the one person against Emma going out into danger all the time, constantly trying to talk her down into a more practical and certain solution. She’s also the first to attempt to bring Emma to see Ray’s side of the escape plan, which is very earth sign of both of them good job guys.
Tumblr media
Compatibility and ships: I know I know I’m still upset Gilemma isn’t compatible astrologically but we can talk about other Gilda ships! Tauruses are most compatible with other earth signs (Capricorn, Virgo, and Taurus) and water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces) which makes her compatible with our other lovely Taurus, Anna! Gilanna shippers unite. But they’re best with Cancers and Scorpios, which means Gildon is is at highest compatibility.
Don
Birthdate: July 4th
Sign: Cancer
Element: Water
Overview: HEY YALL ITS TIME TO TALK ABOUT MY LEAST FAVORITE SIGNS: W A T E R. (I’m sorry my water friends, I’m sure you’re lovely, but as an air sign I am always extremely suspicious of water signs at first meeting because our compatibility is so low it might as well not exist) So the water signs are at the absolute highest emotional level. This can make them extraordinarily kind and nurturing, but it can also make them absolutely unreasonable and destructive. None is this more present than in Cancers, one of the most sensitive signs, but also one of the most empathetic. We can tell very clearly in Don that he wears his emotions on his sleeve—he’s unafraid to cry or show his anger, but he also takes very good care of his younger siblings and shows such an intense concern for them that it can become frightening.
Tumblr media
He’s such a good boy 🥺
Compatibility and ships: okay so same drill, Cancers are generally compatible with other Water signs (Scorpio, Pisces, and Cancer) as well as Earth signs (Taurus, Capricorn, and Virgo) though their highest compatibility is with Tauruses and Capricorns. So again. GILDON AND RAYDON SHIPPERS R I S E.
God I’m so sorry if I cause a ship war. I rambled for too long and I’m very tired, so you only get these five characters for now. BUT! That’s why it’s a part 1. If you want more please feel free to harass me in my ask inbox about the characters you want me to overanalyze the signs of. Gemini out!

Ml analysis: Native American miracle box
While is it obvious that the new miracle box is of native American origin I still went to do some research on it to see if I can narrow it down to a certain tribe and find more connections hidden in the lore.
So not to waste any time, here is my result:
The native American miracle box is in possession of the Souix Lakota tribe. Just like with the Ml Tibetan guardian monks represent not only 1 but 4 groups, the native American Miraculous tribe is a combination of the Lakota, Dakota and Nakota and where we can safely say that the monks will primarily lean towards the Tibet representation, I would say here we will primarily lean towards the Lakota. Therefore, I will call the native America Miraculous tribe Lakota but know that the other two tribes are included in this as well.
So a dead giveaway for the identity of the ml Tribe is Jessicas Shirt. In general Jessica has the hairstyle, the physical features and the accessories typical for representing an “Indian” character and her shirt is a direct confirmation of that heritage.
Tumblr media
On her shirt is an obvious reference to the Lakota flag which pretty much tells us that this is the Tribe we are dealing with. Nice, why cant it always be this easy?
Under the cut I cover three more points to go into more detail, read more if you’re interested ^^
1. The medicine wheel
I must give it to miraculous, using the medicine wheel for the upper layer of the miracle box is one genius move imo.
Tumblr media
The Medicine Wheel is a sacred symbol and way of life used by the indigenous Plains tribes to represent all knowledge of the universe. Unfortunately, I don’t have enough time to really get into its teaching and living ways to be comfortable explaining its practice in more details, so in this part I want to cover only what has been directly acknowledged by Thomas Astruc. And that would be the animals (duh, obviously) and the elements.
The first thing I had to learn the hard way in this research is that there is not one "true" way for this symbol to be arranged. The way its used, what animal belongs to which color or element and even what KIND of animal is in it can vary STRONGLY from location to location.
So I accepted that the arrangement can not be pinpointed down to perfect accuracy through research. We were already given all the animals and colors, now all I can really do here is present to you a possible variation of the miraculous arrangement I put together after looking up and trying to understand the differences between the real life ones to continue from here on.
There are only two animals we know for sure the connected color of: The eagle, Jessicas miraculous of freedom and the Thunderbird. In his tweets Thomas mentioned the elements so I decided to include them in the arrangement, how or if they will be incorporated into the show I can not tell you though. But still I wanted the elements in here as well ^^
Tumblr media
As already said, the eagle is red and the thunderbird is in the green center. As you can see I put the bear to black, the Wolf to yellow and the Buffalo to white. Those seemed to me the most likely combinations and even if they don’t end up right, it wont do harm to any of this.
Buffalo: white and air because the Lakota have a white Buffalo woman legend where air was one of the main elements she controled and used.
Wolf: yellow and fire. Fire because in Lakota legends the wolf/ coyote is a very unpredictable animal. He's both a trickster and a hero, not always moraly sound but always clever. It's a dangerous but strong and lively nature that I do think the show could represent with the fire element. Yellow is one of the two cases where I was left with this option by default.
Bear: I choose black and water because that's a combination I have seen the most
Eagle: I already know Red and choose earth in combination. At first I thought about putting fire in this place because of its normal association with red but in the end choose earth because I think it's the element that fits the best to Jessica.
But the reason why I decided to include the elements is because of the green thunderbird in the middle. Because where the other 4 animals are connected with the 4 elements, the thunderbird would here represent inner balance and harmony. Of course this isn't it's power, but the layout makes it quite obvious that the thunderbird is the equivalent of the ladybugs and cats yin-yang. My assumption right now is that this is how the show will cover the different types of "balance" although the world cultures it incorporates, but let me come back to this one another time.
2. more cultural references and meanings
The thunderbird represents the most powerful one of this miracle box because the thunderbird is the one animal that is present in every Souix Lakota tribe and holds an enormous cultural and spiritual significance. It is a mythological bird and is associated with several legends starting from controlling the storms, lightnings and thunder to being the protector of the humans and even being a helper of the creation of reality (Reality in Ml are the LB and Cat hence why its place in the middle of the box is well deserved) It only makes sense that it would be chosen for this and I know it may seem cliché but please hear me out, which is why im convinced this is the miraculous of the chiefs.
A couple of details do support this for me but please remember I'm not exposed to alot of native American cultures I'll do my best to get things right but if I do interpret something(s) wrong feel free to correct me.
For one, well, the symbol. While looking up the clothing for a later point I did see a symbol like this on some of the feather headdresses.
Tumblr media
Definitely not on all of them, I couldn't figure out if there is a system behind the pattern usage or tied to a distinct area but I do know that it is THERE and not exactly rarely either. Noticeably it isn't a 1 to 1 fit but that is an all time returning thing in miraculous. Real life and historical things like this have to be slightly altered for the show to be able to incorporate them. A great example for this is the old English flag in "Darkblade".
Tumblr media
So at this point I'm used to this pattern, so yeah, this could very likely be a symbol they took inspiration from.
The second reason why I think it it's the miraculous of the chiefs is because the piece with the symbol on it looks like one of these
Tumblr media
In combination with the feather on it. The feather headdress is also called a war bonnet and was originally only worn in battles and only by the person who has truly earned that honor. Each feather represents a distinct honor earned in battle which is why we see feather headdresses in such different lengths. How this translates perfectly into a miraculous I think is obvious. The headdress is a symbol of true leadership and worthiness of such a status, hence why it were especially the chiefs to earn such impressive ones. Turning it into a miraculous wouldn't change too much about it since such a powerful miraculous is an honor and duty you have to be worthy of as well. Them being originally used only for battles is a perfect fit too, because so are the miraculous.
Then of course once again, the thunderbird.
The thunderbird being the great mythical protector animal of these tribes makes it naturally a perfect fit for the miraculous animal of the great chiefs. The chiefs were not only the leaders they also were the primary warrior in battles which is seen by the war bonnets. Having the Thunderbird be the miraculous of the chiefs highlights their status as the tribes protector in such a genuine way, I personally really really love it.
As the last point of 2. I want to bring up the outside top of the Miracle box and the way its designed. While looking through the clothing symbols and pattern I did notice some that looked similar to the ones on the box. I deliberately tried to find a more recent example of usage because in the end of the day Miraculous is a show for TODAY so if the show used patterns for example that may not have been used in the past but are now associated with the Lakota that’s still valid. So the possible matches for design inspiration I found stem from a picture of chief Arvol Lookinghorse who holds the responsibility of spiritual leader among the Lakota, Dakota and Nakota People to this day.
Tumblr media
3. Their location and monuments
Researching the lakota made me think of where this guardian group has its roots, which made me remember something I found on my guardian mountain - mount kailash theory a while ago (I swear right now everything comes back to that theory). In it I showed you the monuments-line around the world always separated by a length of 6666km between each other (basically the height of Mount Kailash) and while I didn't mention it there, there is also one of those "mythical" monuments in the USA.
The bears lodge butte (in Wyoming)
Tumblr media
I mean LOOK at this, that is out of this world and breath-taking in every sense of the word! That is a location of a miraculous guardianship if I had ever seen one. Also known under the (sadly) much more well known name of "Devils tower" but this will be the one and only time you will read of me calling it like that. The fact that this butte is still officially called by this disrespectful and bastardized white peoples name is a freaking insult. I'm calling it the bears lodge as this was its original english name.
The bears lodge is not just a monument in the USA it is the VERY FIRST official monument (1906) and the location of the butte also checks out perfectly with the areas the Lakota settled in real life. I couldn’t get the exact scale but I think you will still understand just fine.
Tumblr media
Adding to the Bears Lodge butte I also wanna bring up the "other" medicine wheel. Which is, just like Bears lodge, located in Wyoming.
Tumblr media
As we know the rest of the native American miracle box is made of the zodiac signs just like in our normal miracle box. Confirmed not only on Twitter but also in the very intro of the New York special.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But the same way the miracle box is similar to ours the Medicine wheel as monument reminded me of something as well. Of course I'm talking about the ritual circle in the Kwami "dimension" of the box seen in “Sandboy”.
And just like the native American monument it is also of "astronomical" nature. Taking a closer look at the Chinese Kwami circle one can see that the outer ring is made of specific places for each Kwami signified with a picture of their "animal".
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And in the inner circle is obviously the moon circulation.
Meaning, put very simple, this is a design specifically meant to represent the Chinese calendar and culture this miracle box is based on. Therefor this should also exist for the native american one. My guess Is that for all the boxes/cultures Miraculous is gonna include they will also have an “ritual circle” equivalents for each based on all the different kinds of stone circle monuments around the world, including the medicine wheel of the Lakota.
But not only was the medicine wheel monument used for astronomical purposes, with it the people wanted to give things back to mother nature. They placed things right in the middle of the wheel under the stones so nature could take it back "spiritually" (for a lack of a better word on my part) through their rituals and chants. Which is something once again similar to what we see with the Kwamis.
First if all, when the Kwamis (who are the embodiments of the abstract concepts reality is made of) enter their "dimension" in the miracle box the guardian symbol opens right at the center point, letting them cross the layers of reality.
Tumblr media
Second, the Kwamis are obviously able to take material objects with them to the in-between dimension. Supporting and verifying the Lakota’s ritual because at the very least in the ML world its actually true. And thirdly, when the Kwamis try to reach Nooroo they chant as well and once again the collected energy is combined in the middle to cross the layers of reality. Gabriel is transformed though so he, as Hawkmoth, is able to almost take over the connection and therefore the miracle box if the Kwamis hadn’t blocked him.
Tumblr media
This shows that the spiritual dimension layers are interactive from both sides under certain circumstances. A normal human being wouldn’t be able to cross the layers and take control like this but the more a person is involved with/ powered up by the miraculous the more power they hold interdimensional. Which is the idea of a ritual to reach the spiritual side of nature brought to a new 11 as TV shows usually do.
 4. The design of the guardian.
I'm definitely not the right person to properly judge this in depth therefore I will just showcase my opinion based on the research.
Tumblr media
The way I see it for the guardians design they tried to combine the guardian "look" with the native American one.
The pants, staff and robe-like upper part are obviously influenced by the guardian we already saw through Fu's flashbacks, whereas the colors, the hairstyle and shoes (etc) are kept more Lakota-like. Though, as far as my opinion counts in this, the much darker skin and the eyebrows in comparison to Jessica does make me question if he is supposed to represent the same native American tribes as her. His bushy eyebrows are a physical characteristic I recognize in rarely any real life photos and neither did I notice such a noticeable difference in skin color.
Tumblr media
Jessica and the guardian simply do not really look like they are of the same heritage to me, but again, who am I to say this isn't a legit representation? Besides that, it makes alot more sense that this guardian wasn't lost for almost 200 years like the ones in Tibet, so it is a fair option to consider that this black guardian may not be of "original Lakota heritage" but he is simply a worthy man born in this area of the USA (who knows in what year considering the guardians life spans) who was chosen and trained for the guardianship simply because he was the right fit for it just like Marinette.
I think it's only fair to consider that option as well, especially since we have NO official background on him. But that's just my opinion.
 And as the last thing I want to bring up is the symbol on his robe because this is something I'm going to need help with.
Tumblr media
We can hardly see it and I've tried my best to find something in my research but I just couldn't find anything fitting.
If anybody has the means and knows if this is a cultural reference as well, I would appreciate it if this knowledge could be shared here as well. I really would love to know ^^

stupid stars(spencer reid x f.reader)
Tumblr media
inspired by a song from tiktok
warning: swearing and possibly incorrect signs
word count: 1.3k
“I’m doing Cancer and Gemini!”
Penelope types away on the random website we found during our lunch break, looking at different horoscopes.
“I know you’re a Cancer but who’s a Gemini?”
Penelope smiled over her shoulder as she hit the enter button with a small smirk.
“My chocolate thunder,” she turned back on the screen and read off the small paragraph.
“Since Gemini and Cancer are actually next to each other, their friendship can be quite strong.”
I nodded along with each word, pairing it to the two easily.
“The biggest problem between the two signs is that they can communicate well until it comes to their relationship.”
I fell back into the chair, giving the side of Pen face a knowing look.
“That’s not true!”
“Pen-“
“Next, give me someone to pair you with,” Pen looked over at me, crossing her arms and giving me a dramatic tap.
“I don’t know, do you and I,” I shrugged easily, not to worry about the result.
It’s not like the stars control my life, right?
“I have a much better idea.”
I watched Penelope quickly type my sign into the  search bar, typing Scorpio into the one right beside it.
I watched the screen load, trying to remember who in my life was a Scorpio.
JJ? Sagittarius
Emily? Libra
Spencer? Scorpio
“Oh god-“ I leaped across the keyboard, attempting to click out the website before Pen could read it. She simply pushed my arm away.
She held me back about to speak, below her mouth slowly turned into one of a frown. She looked at me from the side of her eye, swiftly clicking off the website and turning to me.
“What are you doing this weekend?”
Penelope played with one of the many rings laying across her fingers, her biggest tell.
“What did it say,” I asked slowly, watching as she looked everywhere but me, her second tell.
“It’s just a stupid website,” Pen brushed it off. I was close to asking again but my phone buzzed, looking down to Hotch contact informing me of a case.
I sighed and looked over at Pen, a sad smile across her face.
“You’re so lucky Garcia.”
“No don’t use the last name trick on me.”
I laughed as I headed back into the bullpen, trying to let this stupid website get to me.
Spencer and I were just friends, it was just a stupid website that gives teenagers hope.
Right?
Yeah totally.
I made it up the stairs, Morgan not far behind me.
“Honey bun!”
He threw an arm over my shoulder and walked the rest of the way to the conference room like that, talking about random jokes here and there.
I looked up to see Penelope come around and threw the other door, the same sad smile as earlier on her face.
“Get your hands off my girlfriend.”
I laughed as Emily made a joking angry face, the little smirk playing at her lips.
“I see we are all fighting over me now,” I smiled as Morgan gave Emily a fake gasp, looking me over with wide eyes.
Suddenly Spencer came running into the room, holding his satchel like his life depended on it.
I quickly looked away, the conversation with Pen from earlier cane flooding in. I ran to the seat beside Emily, her eye scanning over the room before landing on him.
She grabbed my knee from under the table and gave it a light squeeze.
“You don’t need him, I'm better anyways,” Emily whispered in my direction.
I laughed to myself as I watched Hotch walk in, giving Penelope the go ahead with the case.
*
I stood in front of the board of crime scene photos, the familiar shape of the drilled holes getting on my nerves.
“Spencer, had me a piece of paper.”
I heard quickly shuffling from behind me, a pen and paper being placed in my hand in seconds.
I laid the paper over the photo, putting a dot where each drill hole was. Once I had every hole on the paper, I turned around and placed the paper on the table.
I connected each hole with a like in between, the Leo constellation forming before me.
“(Y/N), I think you’re onto something,” Spencer said quickly before he put the photo of the other victim he was looking at on the table.
He did the same thing I did, the consolation of Aquarius stood on his paper.
Okay, so maybe I’m not the only person that trusts the stars.
“It’s the zodiac signs,” Spencer said looking up at me with a breathtaking smile.
“(Y/N) you’re a genius.”
“Actually you are.”
Spencer rolled his eyes, the smile still evident on his face.
“You walked into that one kid,” Morgan laughed as he stood up, his phone in his hand as he stepped out the room.
I took the seat Morgan sat in seconds ago, a proud smile across my face.
“What did you think of that?”
I looked across the large table at Spencer, him now pulling out the most recent victim picture to find the other zodiac sign.
“Pen and I were doing on of those stupid compatibility website, you know where you put your zodiac and someone else and find out how compatible you are.”
Spencer looked up with a frown on his face.
“Scientifically the universe can’t decide if you're compatible or not.”
I shrugged my shoulders and looked at the paper Spencer just sketched on, the most recent victim had Virgo on them.
“We need to let Hotch know.”
*
A watch at the unsub was escorted from the run down house, the most recently abducted girl ran to her mom.
“You are the reason he’s alive,” Spencer voice spoke from behind me.
I turned and gave a small smile, happy to be complemented by a literal genius.
Him being my crush had nothing to do with it.
Right?
“So after you bought up that website I called Garcia and asked her to send it to me.”
I chuckled to myself, just imagining Spencer trying to figure out how to work the website making my nerves fall away.
“I looked up mine and yours.”
Suddenly the nerves were back, they came faster than they left.
“Really?”
“Yeah, I hope that’s not weird,” Spencer said quickly, his eyes had a slight bewildered look behind them.
“No it’s fine.”
He let a large breath of air out, the bewildered looking falling away with the idea of it.
“It said some pretty crazy stuff,” Spencer ran a large hand over the back of his neck, a small blush creeping up his neck.
“It can do that.”
I didn’t know if I wanted to kill Penelope or myself more right now.
“I think it’s bullshit.”
If my heart wasn’t going to beat out my chest because Spencer just implied he thought we were compatible, it was definitely going to beat out with how blunt he was about it.
“I think we work really well together.”
I smiled to myself, pleased that Spencer wasn’t panicking as much as I was the past few names over something so minor.
“Even if the stars are against us, I’m not.”
It was spoken quietly, I couldn’t tell if it was because he didn’t want me or everyone else to hear.
“You aren’t against us?”
Spencer just shrugged his shoulder, now watching his shoes kick a small rock on the pavement.
“I think the stars are stupid,” I spoke just as softly as he did, this moment felt to intimate for anyone else’s ears.
Spencer just smiled, looking at me through his messy brown hair.
“I mean technically stars are just made of mostly hydrogen and helium that can produce light and heat.”
I chucked, pleased he was sharing facts at this time, it was the only way you truly had a conversation with Spencer.
“We’re leaving,” Emily yelled from the SUV, a weirdly knowing smirk on her face.
Spencer held a hand out for me, a small happy smile crossed his face.
“Want to shove it in the stars faces?”

Fruits Basket, Se03. ep 5,(part 1)
In part 1 of this post, more than analyzing, I want to understand few confusing things first. I’m not annoyed or angry, I’m just confused & trying to piece things together, so, kindly don’t feel off with my usage of  (!!!) & (???). lol. I’ll ONLY discuss two things here that confuse me a lot. ( Real ep review/ analysis will be in part 2)
1- Momiji’s romantic love for tohru (the real love triangle). What?!!!!!
I’m so shocked that momiji loves tohru romantically! So, in order to understand ( where did this come from!!) I re-visited his scenes with tohru since se01 & trying to see if I missed anything! Below is my speculations:
Is it love at first sight?!!! When Momiji first met tohru he kissed her on the cheek. I’ve always thought lightly that in the eyes of the reserved Japanese (bowing is greeting), all Europeans (kissing on the check is greeting). hence, Momiji’s kiss, he’s half Europea. However, perhaps it is a Kureno/ Arisa type of love at 1st sight/kiss?! kureno nearly kissed Arisa on the lips on their 1st official meeting. But Kureno/Arisa kiss was meant to be romantic/sexual with adult kureno’s “ I wanted to taste her lips”. but Momiji’s is a peak on the cheek & he was a child, so... I don’t think he’s struck by love before he’s officially introduced to us the audience.
Is it gradual growing love like kyo’s ? in all Momiji/ tohru eps, he always just wanted to play with her, visit places & spend time together.  (hot spring & beach vacation) are his own ideas. But momiji didn’t want tohru exclusively. He intentionally invited both yuki & kyo to the hot spring & even was begging kyo to come. He invited all zodiacs to the beach & wanted all to spend time together. I believe that the hot spring ep especially showed momiji as this playful, innocent & naive kid, wanting to share tohru’s females’ hot spring section. I don’t think momiji was madly in love at that time. He was a child going “ waaaa~, kyo hit me” &  jumping here & there. 
So, summer vacation? but then again, Momiji slept with the children & tohru doted on them all. He defended tohru but they all defend her & love her. he said to kyo that he “selfishly wanted to be with tohru” but I didn’t  catch any romantic hints from that. Was it really that time?? they all wanted to spend time with tohru. Yuki said “ I’ll kidnap you”, kyo agreed to go to the beach right away, kisa was glued to her to the point of annoying hiro! So, when? & why not let us as the audience know abt momiji’s feelings.
Is it related to opening up to tohru abt his family issues? He confessed to tohru abt his dad, mom & momo. She cried for him & hugged him. I never got the feeling in all those scenes that he was in love! it seemed to me like friendship love similar to hana’s/Arisa’s or siblings love substituting his nonexistent relationship with momo.
Is it just me?? I always saw momiji as this baby in toddler clothes, jumping, laughing & a ray of sunshine! A child but with the most mature heart & mind. Tohru didn’t help momiji, he was already helping himself first & reaching healthy conclusions abt how he should deal with his own traumas. So, perhaps (Me) not seeing him as a teenager stopped me from seeing his romantic love? but they showed me hiro/kisa’s love. Elementary school kids! so?
Regardless of when he fell in love or how, the point is, this is heart-breathtakingly tragic! cuz (a) tohru never saw him more than a child at first, then as a precious friend, (b) she’s intensely in love with kyo, which brings us to tohru’s core issues. (Tohru loosing yet another loved one). Tohru’s own issues aren’t fully explored yet, but her love for kyo has been blatantly hammered to us since se01 finale! this is because kyo being locked in the cat room equals (death) which parallels her mom’s (death). Tohru will be living her tragic trauma again but this time, kyo replacing kyoko! Thus, giving tohru a room for growth & character development.Tohru’s intense love for kyo was shown in by the drastic change in her attitude in se01, ep.24, chasing firmly after him even when he pushed her & refusing to let go until he’s back home cuz she wants to! then yuki blatantly saying “ she loves him, too, the way she looks at him“  im se02, ep22 & “don’t worry, tohru, he won’t accept (the other girls confession)” in se02, ep 17 & all her scenes with kyo in that ep where she’s scared he’ll let go of her & other scenes throughout the 3 seasons.
...so why momiji’s impossible & unrequited love is introduced?
I believe it is to push kyo to not let go of tohru. To throw kyo into this internal conflict between selflessly letting go of tohru so she could be happy (like hatori did with kana) & selfishly wanting her to be his lover ( like haru). Kyo himself expressed these two conflicting thoughts in se02, ep, 9 “ I hoped we could always be together somewhere  far off (selfish love) & “ I don’t want to take anything from you (selfless love). So, momiji is challenging kyo in a way making him realize that selfish love might not be bad afterall & selfless love could be harmful! cleverly reversing the two concepts. So, I get why this love triangle was introduced. but whyyyy momiji! T_T.. choose someone else, Writer-San! poor Momiji we learned abt his love the same ep we learned it hopeless & he can’t pursue! T_T. couldn’t you at least put the two scenes far away, so I get time to grieve his broken heart! T_T.
2- Yuki/Machi ( Yuki is in a such hurry!!!!)
You could use the analogy of yuki’s starting the story as a (baby/child) taken cared by his mother (tohru) who taught him to be a person (all se01), Yuki took this knowledge  as a (kid/teenager) & formed friendship on his own with (kakeru) in (se02). it is not after yuki became a true equal friend to kakeru, chocking him & equally teasing him, that Machi was allowed to talk abt her self as a real character with agency & thoughts (se02, ep24), now yuki must be a (teenager/Man) & fall romantically in love, hence (se03, eps 2 & 3). All this is amazing. So, I kinda expected the following:
yuki won’t take as long as kyo in confessing/ realizing romantic love since he/machi don’t have a shared baggage nor obstacles from the past.
 he won’t be as fast as haru’s “ i love you/ kiss/ make love”. But then again, Haru & Isuzu have already known each other for years & are already in love, they just put a name to their desires & went on with it.
So, yuki should be in the middle, noticing, knowing abt the person, crushing, then realizing love & wanting a future together! Cuz yuki is this type of person who values taking time thinking thoroughly, right??
I’m confused as yuki wanted to confess the curse & to be with machi romantically right after the machi background scene? I know not everything should be on-screen & him falling slowly in love could be off-screen...  the flower is a yuki/machi “ noticing her stage”, her fighting with him over the red leaf is “ noticing him stage” for her. but there’s only ONE intimate scene of them together! Her raw tears when he comforted her in her flat (the chalk scene is bonus). but.. I never expected that yuki is planning to confess his curse & feelings this early!!!!!! yuki! are you SURE she loves you? ( I mean we the audience know 100%) but how is HE sure?? yuki going this big stage so soon felt a bit un-yuki. but then agin, perhaps that’s part of the new changed confident yuki? I duno, I mean Machi was never given a proper time to prosper, but yuki was always given all the time there is to explore his feelings & even other ppl’s feelings! He’s there in kyo/tohru ‘s story to tells the audience they’re in love, he’s there in Isuzu/ haru to mend their gap. I mean yeah there gotta be more scenes abt them for sure, we’re in ep 5, but I never expected a the intruppted confession now & this soon!
perhaps it’s just me, again?! Maye I’m so invested in yuki & accustomed to him always taking time that I kinda expected more before he’s thinking of confessing. I really thought that confessing his curse/love is yuki/machi’s own story climax compared to kyo/tohru’s story climax with kyoko & Isuzu/Haru story climax after breakup, oh well. I’m positive we’ll see more of yuki’s journey with machi as yuki is rarely absent in any eps. More scenes to come!
That’s the end of my headache! XD. I apologize for giving you headache if you were kind enough to read all this. kindly, don’t spoil future scenes or sub-plots to me. I’m just expressing my shock at how fast the plot moved! just few eps ago, I was watching motoko love journey that survived 3 seasons! Hands down Motoko wins in furuba! XD. Jokes aside, Can I say we’re officially where “the plot thickens?” Is it going down? This ep felt like a bullet train!
Side Notes:
I never liked the “children in deep love theme” that hiro has as children shouldn’t suffer the romantic pining & suffering as teenagers & adult ppl,  so, I really appreciated that Momimi altho was 15 when we 1st saw him, lived his childhood without the “oh my! I’m so in love~ pining~ suffer”.
The story introduced ( momoiji in romantic love) the same ep Momiji got tall, so making it as sth he expressed once he hit puberty like most boys his age. He even said it “ I’m a man now”, which is again sth boys feel once they get taller & experience other feelings.
Momiji never catches a break! T_T. My son is denied the types of love he wants (parental love, sibling love & now romantic love! ).
I don’t picture momiji/tohru together as a couple cuz it wasn’t built that way in the story & most of their moments weren’t romantic/sexual tension. to me it was the ultimate friendship!
I wish my son finds love on-screen! If Moyoko/Nao gets on-screen love, give my boy on-screen love, too!
Nah~ forget that~ I’m just sad for my son, I don’t want to see him paired with any character quickly to compensate him not having tohru. This is not doing momiji justice. So, I get the ED art of him with Momo.
If kyo has someone who loves him one-sidedly (Kagura), tohru now has someone who love her one-sidedly (momiji).
The kagura/kyo confrontation was heart breaking, but it had to happen cuz kyo knew she loved him & had to stop her. I hope Momiji never confesses to tohru, I wouldn’t be able to survive seeing tohru turn him down.Tohru & momiji are just too kind for such sad situation.
So, does this mean that the two characters with unrequited love are Kagura & momiji? they’re the only characters with no romantic partner in the ED.
Hana is without a lover in the ED, too! XD. Thank God! I love her crush on kazuma, cuz hello~ who won’t crush on this hunk! & teenage girls can crush on grown up men rather than boys (I know I did, but it was just my girlish crush). I’m thankful it is just a crush & teasing kyo tactics & not true romance! don’t give me another Arisa/Kureno, plz. lol.

What’s Your Sign?: Aquarius
Genre: Future/Space!AU
Pairing: Yunhyeong x You (Female!Reader)
Warnings: None
Words: 6,180
Author’s Note: Since I’m so fascinated by astrology, I decided to do a Zodiac series! I will be writing a one-shot fic for each sign featuring different members from different groups (and even an actor!). Each story will be posted on the 5th of the month during that sign’s season. Please reblog, comment, or send in an ask with your feedback! Thank you for your support 💜
Tumblr media
Yunhyeong’s eyes blinked open as the soft trilling of his alarm clock began to gently float through the air, and as he did every morning, he forced himself to sit up to decrease the chances he would fall back asleep.
As the alarm began to get slightly louder as the seconds passed by, Yunhyeong cleared his throat and opened his mouth to speak the first words he spoke every morning: “Computer, turn off alarm.”
The trilling cut off and the eerie silence of outer space settled in his bedroom.
Honestly, he should be used to the absolute quietude of being in space, but... somehow, he wasn’t. It still put him on edge and made the hair on the back of his neck stand up.
“Computer, what’s the weather like on Earth?” he asked as he swung his legs over the side of his bed and stood up, sliding his feet into his slippers.
“Please specify a location,” the computer replied, and even though it was literally a computer, Yunhyeong was pretty sure he detected a hint of sass in its tone.
“All right... how about... Paris?”
“Please specify. There are fifty-three locations on Earth named ‘Paris.’”
Yunhyeong pursed his lips in slight annoyance before retorting, “What’s the weather like in Paris, France?”
“It is currently three degrees Celsius in Paris, France, with a 36% chance of precipitation, 68% humidity, and winds of 14 km/h.”
Well, it certainly didn’t spark any romantic images of the City of Love in his head, but it was interesting to know, at least.
I guess.
“Thank you, Computer,” Yunhyeong murmured as he turned around and bent to make his bed.
He didn’t start every morning asking the computer in his living quarters what the weather was like on a prominent Earth city, but maybe now he would. Maybe he would have to add that into his usual morning routine, right in-between getting out of bed and smoothing his sheets down over his mattress.
I mean, it had been a full two years since he’d lived on this space station, so it was probably time for a small change... right?
As long as the change didn’t get in the way of his research, of course. That’s the whole reason he was out here in the first place, alone on a privately-funded space station: to research and, hopefully, breed new species of plants.
Climate change was (and had been) really taking a toll on Earth, but technology in the last few decades had allowed most, if not all, humans to immigrate to various other planets and space stations in the Alpha quadrant. But living in space and on non-Earth planets meant having to figure out whole new ways to farm and live off the land -- even when there was no actual land.
So, Yunhyeong had been delegated by the government to conduct research and experiments on a fully-equipped space station to try and grow new edible plants.
It sounded boring, yes, but it really wasn’t! I mean -- not for him, at least, because Yunhyeong loved to cook. More than anything, really, he loved cooking.
He just felt at home in the kitchen, and nothing excited him more than experimenting with ingredients and coming up with new recipes. Even if the dish turned out to be basically inedible, he never felt defeated or like he should just give up. On the contrary, cooking energized him! And it felt that much better when he got a recipe right.
Honestly, that’s the only reason Yunhyeong had accepted this position even though it had meant living by himself for... who knows how long? 
He was an outgoing extrovert, but being constantly alone was overshadowed by the fact he was constantly cooking and growing his own ingredients -- and being paid for it!
...Still, though. Sometimes he did have to admit that it would be nice to have some company. Someone with different taste buds who could try his recipes and give real feedback.
When he’d asked his manager why it had to be a solo mission, the reasoning had made sense: adding another person into the mix increased the probability for conflict, and it was pretty vital that Yunhyeong stay focused on his end goal.
Totally understandable.
But that didn’t stop him from daydreaming at night just before he fell asleep.
We... won’t get into that, though. The day had just started, after all!
After making his bed (and, today, hearing about the weather in Paris, France), Yunhyeong ducked into his closet to change into one of his government-issued suits. All of his clothes were basically the same, and while it had bothered him a bit after first moving here, he’d gotten over it pretty quickly. No one else was here to see him, so what did it really matter what he wore? The clothes he’d been given were perfectly fine, and he would have plenty of time to dress a bit more flashily once he returned home.
As he always did, Yunhyeong quickly but thoroughly brushed his teeth after getting dressed, ran a comb through his hair, then set off toward his hydroponics lab.
Once he began his work -- taking cuttings of new plants that were growing, jotting down observations of changes which had happened overnight, experimenting with the sand from a nearby planet and seeing how its cellular structure changed when different liquids were added to it -- he realized that today would be just a typical day. Another day as same as the ones before it.
It had actually been quite silly of him to think that something so trivial as asking about the weather conditions on Earth would somehow have an effect on his day.
Except... it kind of had. Nothing major, of course. He still got his work done as he always did, and he was still incredibly focused. But he also found his mind had been slipping, daydreaming about Paris, France -- especially centuries ago when films were in black and white and men walked around in suits with hats every day. 
Paris back then seemed so romantic, didn’t it? He imagined the whole city had a sort of candlelit glow about it even though there had definitely been electricity at that time. But candlelight made it dreamier and, even though he was a botanist by trade, Yunhyeong was a total sucker for anything dreamy.
(Did this have something to do with the fact that an old girlfriend had once told him he had very dreamy eyes? Perhaps.)
By the time his mid-day meal break rolled around, he’d gotten plenty of work done and made plenty of progress with his modified Thyme plant; he also found that the almost-ancient song “La Vie en Rose” had become stuck in his head.
Since he didn’t have to work for the next hour or so, Yunhyeong asked the computer to play the song through the station’s intercom system.
A warm but immediate thrill emanated through him as he heard the opening notes, and he told himself he would have to play music more often -- any music. He hadn’t realized until just now how lifeless this space station truly was. 
He lived here, but was he really living?
It’s not like he expected this situation to turn into some sort of romantic film where a beautiful stranger happened to be passing by and fell in love with him at first sight. He was level-headed enough to realize that would never happen! 
But he could still have fun, couldn’t he? Off the clock, of course. His job was too important and time-sensitive to risk losing focus because he wanted to have more fun.
No, he could absolutely wait until he’d finished work for the day before turning on some music and letting loose.
Oh, boy, he could just imagine it now: some good music flowing through the intercom -- maybe some Jazz music. A nice glass of wine. And his mother had sent him a very nice pair of silk pajamas recently that he hadn’t yet worn --
...Wow.
He was, apparently, at the age where jazz music, wine, and silk pajamas was considered “fun.”
Wonderful.
But, to be fair! He was in outer space! On a space station! By himself! Growing plants for a living! What other kind of fun could there be?!
It’s not like he could just go out to a restaurant or a club with some friends and --
A sudden and very loud banging interrupted his thoughts, and Yunhyeong was so startled that he almost dropped his glass of water.
His brow furrowed immediately as he took a few steps out of his kitchen, craning his neck past the doorway to look toward the entrance to the station.
The station didn’t really have a “front door,” per se, but for all intents and purposes, someone had just knocked on his front door.
More than knocked, actually. They sounded like they wanted to smash the door right off its hinges!
“Who in the world could that be?” Yunhyeong muttered to himself as he cautiously crept toward the entrance. He hadn’t received word that a supervisor was coming for an evaluation or anything, and he couldn’t imagine someone would come all the way out here for an unannounced visit.
Just as he reached the keypad to unlock the inner door, his mysterious visitor knocked loudly again, though they sounded more desperate this time.
Yunhyeong quickly typed in the code, and after hearing the hiss of the door unlocking, he turned the handle and opened it.
You rushed in as soon as the gap was wide enough, barreling past Yunhyeong and nearly knocking him over.
“Whoa!” he cried, startled and very, very confused. “Who --”
“I’m sorry, I don’t have time to explain,” you answered after you’d just barely come to a halt a few feet away from him. “But the police are probably going to be here soon, and I need you to tell them you don’t know anything, okay? You’ve never seen me before. Where can I hide?”
Yunhyeong stared at you, blinking slowly in astonishment.
...What?
“I -- I’m sorry?” he stammered.
“Where can I hide?” you repeated, your voice hurried but quiet. “Please, I must hide. I’m fairly certain they’ll be here any minute now.”
“...Who?”
“The police! I just --” you hissed, though you stopped yourself short and took a deep breath. “I can explain everything later, I just need somewhere to hide.”
Yunhyeong stared at you some more, and now that you weren’t blabbering on about hiding from the police (seriously?! Hiding from the police?!) he was able to take a few moments and gather up the situation in his head.
You -- a complete and total stranger, of that he was sure -- had just showed up at his space station asking to hide from the police.
...This couldn’t be real. Right?
And what made it even more unbelievable was the fact that you were actually quite beautiful.
If he had to be totally honest, your attractiveness was one of the very first things he’d noticed.
He was an adult male who’d been living entirely alone for an extended period of time, okay?! Can you blame him for noticing that someone was incredibly pleasing to look at?!
But then his thoughts of your looks were interrupted by his thoughts of what you’d said.
You needed somewhere to hide, and even though he absolutely should not let you hide in a government-issued space station... his romantic sensibilities took over.
I mean, hadn’t he just been thinking a very short while ago about a beautiful stranger somehow appearing on the station?! And how he’d never considered that it would actually happen because things like that don’t ever happen in real life?
But it was happening now! A beautiful stranger had somehow appeared on the station!  You were most likely a criminal, and there was a very good chance he would lose his job if anyone ever found out he’d helped you...
But, I mean, come on. You can’t blame him for thinking this was just a tad exciting!
So... yes, he was going to help you! And if you ended up staying here and falling in love with him, then so be it!
“My lab,” he said, nodding toward the door behind you.
You let out a soft breath and murmured a thank you before turning on your heel and darting into the room.
He followed you, pointing out the small storage room where he kept his extra equipment and watching carefully as you rushed over to it.
As soon as the door slid closed behind you, there was yet another knock at the station’s entrance.
Yunhyeong’s eyes widened slightly for two reasons: 1) He hadn’t had any visitors in a very long time, and now, all of a sudden, he was about to have two? 2) You had been eerily correct about the police showing up any minute -- if this was, in fact, the police. 
He wasn’t sure who else it would be, so he made a hasty retreat out of his lab and back toward the entrance.
Again, he quickly typed in the code to open the door, and he had just barely touched the handle before the new visitor -- or visitors -- let themselves in.
“Excuse us, Sir,” said a middle-aged but very fit man in an Intergalactic Police uniform. “I’m very sorry to disturb you, but we’re looking for a wanted criminal and thought we’d tracked her down to this area.”
Yunhyeong gulped, nervous that he wasn’t a good enough liar to help keep your cover. But he would do his best!
“A -- a wanted criminal?” he asked as he knit his eyebrows together in worried confusion. “What -- no, I haven’t seen anyone. It’s just me here. I haven’t had any visitors for... well, quite some time. Or ever, really. I’m doing government research, you see, so I don’t really have time for anything except my work.”
The policeman nodded slowly, and the younger woman in uniform behind him let out a short huff of breath, obviously frustrated their lead hadn’t taken them any closer to catching you.
“Understood,” the woman murmured before adding. “So sorry to bother you, Sir. If you catch word of anything, please contact us as soon as you possibly can. We believe she should be considered armed and dangerous.”
...Excuse me?
Yunhyeong’s mouth fell open slightly, and his brain was starting to yell at him to tell these police officers the truth. He hadn’t seen any weapons on you when you’d come in, and you had certainly seemed more panicked than dangerous... but they were saying quite the opposite!
Except... he hadn’t seen any weapons on you when you’d come in. 
If he remembered correctly, which he had to assume he did since you had just come in a few minutes ago, you weren’t wearing large or baggy clothing, so there really wasn’t any place to hide a weapon -- unless it was a very small weapon. In that case, Yunhyeong felt almost confident that he could manage to take it from you somehow.
Plus, your beauty was definitely clouding his judgement, and he wanted to get the chance to actually talk to you before letting you go and never seeing you again.
So, instead of coming clean and being a useful, helpful citizen, Yunhyeong simply nodded. “Yes, of course,” he assured the officers. “I will keep an eye out.”
The officers turned to leave, but the man stopped before he could turn around all the way.
“Actually, would you mind if we just did a quick search?” he asked in a very polite tone. “Just protocol, of course. Plus, she might have beamed in without you knowing, and we wouldn’t want to leave without knowing for sure you’re not in any danger.”
Yunhyeong raised his eyebrows but then took a step to the side and extended his arm out into the station to allow them inside. “Please, be my guest.”
The female officer headed back toward the kitchen where he’d been putting together his lunch not even ten minutes ago while the male officer basically made a beeline for his lab.
“Ah, that --” Yunhyeong said, following him and peering into his lab over the man’s shoulder. “That’s my lab.”
“What did you say you do again?” the officer asked curiously.
“I’m doing research,” Yunhyeong answered. “Plant research. For the government.”
The officer let out a low hum of understanding and continued to stand there, presumably eyeing his equipment and searching the room for any signs of an intruder.
But the longer he stood there, the more quickly Yunhyeong’s heart began to beat.
Finally, the officer took a step back and turned on his heel to search other areas of the station.
Yunhyeong let out a soft breath as soon as the officer was out of sight then went back to the station entrance to wait for them to finish.
After only about five minutes, both officers met him at the door, thanked him for his cooperation, and wished him a nice day before stepping into the small chamber separating the inside of his station from the void of outer space and beaming themselves out.
Yunhyeong closed the inner door, turning the handle to lock it and letting out an anxious breath. But he didn’t have time to lean back against the door and gather his thoughts because there was currently a wanted criminal hiding in his lab.
He practically ran to the doorway of his lab, grasping the doorframe and calling out, “They’re gone, you can come out.”
A few seconds later, the door to his equipment storage room opened, and you peeked your head out.
“They searched the station and just left,” Yunhyeong explained, his heart fluttering inside his chest upon seeing you again.
You let out a breath and stepped fully into the lab, closing the door quietly behind you. “Thank you,” you murmured as you began to make your way over to him.
“Sure...” he replied expectantly, waiting for you to start explaining the situation.
When you stopped a few feet in front of him, a cautious and bashful smile tugged at your lips. “So...” you started, your voice a bit shaky. “I, uh -- It’s really not as bad as you might be thinking.”
Yunhyeong couldn’t stop from smirking -- just a tiny one. “Well, the police said you’re a wanted criminal who should be considered armed and dangerous, so what I’m thinking is pretty bad.”
Your eyes widened and you held your hands out in front of you, waving them a little to assure Yunhyeong he had it all wrong. “No, no -- I’m not armed, I swear! And definitely not dangerous. Just -- This is going to sound like I’m making it up, but I promise you, I’m not.”
Well, now Yunhyeong was really intrigued. “Go on,” he pressed.
“I... Well, for the last couple of years, I’ve been working on a... project.”
“That doesn’t sound shady at all,” Yunhyeong chuckled.
“I was trying to create a clone,” you explained hurriedly. “Nothing shady, exactly. It’s kind of a long story, but I got a research grant and decided to try cloning but it didn’t turn out like I expected because my clone kind of went rogue and she is the armed and dangerous one. Not me. But the police don’t know it’s a clone, obviously, so they’re looking for me when it’s really all just a big mistake!”
Your story did sound a bit far-fetched, and Yunhyeong shouldn’t have believed it.
But... for some reason... he did. There was just a look in your eyes that told him you were being truthful. A timbre in your voice that emanated sincerity.
So, he believed you. Despite logic telling him he shouldn’t, he did.
One corner of his lips lifted into a half-smile then, and he said, “Well, you’re welcome to stay here for a bit. Are you hungry?”
A look of pure relief washed over your exquisite features, and you held out your hand toward him. “I’m Y/N, by the way. That’s my real name, you can look me up.”
Yunhyeong let out a soft laugh as he shook your hand. “Don’t worry, I believe you. And you’re safe here. I’m Yunhyeong.”
“Thank you, Yunhyeong,” you replied, your hand gripping his firmly. 
But then, suddenly, your grip loosened, and you wavered a bit where you stood.
“Oop!” Yunhyeong uttered as he reached out to steady you. “You all right?”
You grasped onto his forearms, and when you tilted your head to look up at him, he saw your complexion had blanched quite a bit.
“Yes, I --” you murmured. “Sorry, I guess I haven’t eaten in a while, and the adrenaline’s worn off, I’m so sorry.”
“No, no, come eat,” he said as he moved to slide one arm around your back and then began leading you toward the kitchen.
You continued to apologize as he helped you down the hallway, and once he’d pulled out a chair at the small table, he assured you there was absolutely nothing to be sorry about.
To be honest, this whole situation was quite thrilling for him. A mistakenly wanted criminal who had almost fainted from hunger? He had never cooked a meal for a mistakenly wanted criminal who had almost fainted from hunger before, but he now felt like this was what he’d been meant to do. Born to do.
I mean, he’d always loved helping and taking care of people, and he certainly loved cooking.
(Plus, you were just so gosh darn beautiful. It was his absolute pleasure to have you in his home and serve you a home-cooked meal!)
He whipped you up the quickest but heartiest thing in his repertoire: a ham sandwich. But his ham sandwich was not just any old ham sandwich. Of course, not! He used only the best mayonnaise, only the best lettuce and tomatoes grown right here on the station, only the best bread he’d baked himself last night, and only the best ham... which was not really the best ham because, living in space, he had to use his food replicator. And he hadn’t yet found one single food that was quite as good when using the replicator. It was fine, but it just didn’t taste exactly the same.
Oh, well. He hoped the rest of the fine ingredients would make up for the slightly less than average ham.
“It’s not much,” he said when he set the plate in front of you just a few minutes later. “But it’ll do the trick.”
“Oh, no, are you kidding? This is wonderful,” you said breathlessly, your eyes widening slightly as you gazed at the sandwich. “You wouldn’t believe what I’ve been eating the past couple days. This seems like a feast compared to that.”
Yunhyeong couldn’t help himself; after hearing that remark, he pulled out the other chair at his table and slid into it, his brow furrowed with curiosity. He set his elbow on the table and rested his chin in his palm before asking, “What happened?”
You took a huge bite of sandwich first, closing your eyes with pleasure as you chewed. And then you began your story.
You told him all about how your clone had gone rogue for reasons you still hadn’t figured out. She had replicated weapons and gone on a crime spree, robbing and killing anyone she could get her hands on. You actually got choked up as you told him, and Yunhyeong had to resist the urge to reach out and put his hand over yours.
Of course, you had tried your best to stop her, but that had only made it easier for the police to confuse you for her and make you their target.
Once you’d realized the police were on the hunt for you and not your clone, you’d gone into fight or flight mode -- and you had chosen flight. You’d hidden anywhere you could find, only staying in one place for a few hours.
“How did you end up here?” Yunhyeong asked, taking your empty plate and standing up to make you another sandwich. You’d eaten this one so quickly, and if you really hadn’t eaten much real food over the last few days, there was no doubt you had to be famished.
“Honestly... pure happenstance. I just found a small space station on the map, punched the coordinates into my transporter, and beamed right in.”
A smirk tugged at Yunhyeong’s lips but he turned to start making your sandwich before you had the chance to see.
Pure happenstance. Luck. You hadn’t come here by design; you’d just picked his station and beamed yourself in unknowingly.
“Y’know...” he began as he took two more slices of bread. “It’s funny because I’ve been on this space station by myself for quite a while now, and just this morning I was thinking about some beautiful, random stranger just happening to pass through. But, obviously, I was thinking about how it wouldn’t happen.”
“That,” you said before clearing your throat. “That’s a strange coincidence.”
When Yunhyeong glanced over his shoulder, he saw your expression had turned shy, and it made him feel a little shy. Which was odd because he was rarely ever shy.
“Very,” he murmured in agreement after turning back around and continuing to make your second sandwich.
It was comfortably silent for the next minute or two, the only noises that of Yunhyeong spreading mayonnaise on bread and tearing up the lettuce to fit better on the sandwich. But then, when he turned back around to join you at the table and set the plate in front of you again, you murmured a soft but earnest “Thank you.”
“My pleasure,” Yunhyeong replied before once again sliding into the chair across from you. “And... you’re welcome to stay here as long as you’d like.”
You had just picked up the sandwich to take a bite, but upon hearing his words, you paused. Your brow knit together, forming deep wrinkles in your forehead. “Oh, no, I --”
“I think you’d be safer here than anywhere else,” Yunhyeong interrupted gently. “The police have already been here, and there’s no logical reason they would come back here to look for you. At least, not for a while. And maybe we could get this all squared away in the meantime. Find your clone and clear your name.”
You stared at him in slight confusion for a few moments before shaking your head a little and asking, “But... why? Why would you... help me?”
Yunhyeong let out a soft chuckle and lifted his shoulders into a shrug. “I guess... it’s been a long time since I’ve even talked to another person face-to-face. And you’re innocent. I can’t just let you go and risk you getting caught and arrested when you’re only guilty of an experiment gone wrong.”
For a split second, he thought about adding on the fact that you were incredibly nice to look at, and he was becoming overwhelmed with an urge to take care of you. But when he remembered the shy look you’d gotten after he’d just said the word beautiful, he decided against it.
For now, at least.
You slowly put the sandwich back down on the plate, and before Yunhyeong could try to distinguish the expression on your face, you burst into tears.
“Whoa,” Yunhyeong murmured, his head jerking back in surprise. “No, please --”
“I’m sorry,” you sniffed, bringing your hands up to cover your eyes and cheeks. “I just -- It’s been difficult the past few days, and I thought --”
Without hesitation, Yunhyeong got out of his chair and crouched down next to you, resting one hand gently on your back and the other on one of your wrists.
“It’s all right,” he assured you in the gentlest voice he could manage.
“I can’t even remember how many times I thought I was going to die,” you admitted, your voice muffled and interrupted by sniffling sobs. “And you have absolutely no reason to help me, but you are, and I’m so relieved, and I just --”
Yunhyeong shushed you, rubbing your back and watching with concern as you began to wipe your cheeks.
You then turned your head and looked over at him, tears still brimming in your eyes.
“Thank you,” you choked out.
Yunhyeong’s lips curved into a smile, and he moved his hand to your shoulder, squeezing you there. “You’re welcome. You’re going to get through this, okay? I can help. I work for the government, so I bet I can get in touch with someone who can straighten this all out.”
You shook your head a bit and gulped down the large lump of emotion obstructing your throat. “But I -- I can’t do anything to repay you --”
“I told you that I’ve been living here on my own for a long time, right?”
You nodded.
“Honestly, having some company is repayment enough. Just... be my friend,” he said with a tiny shrug. “For as long as you’re here, that’s all I ask in return. Be my friend.”
Yunhyeong’s heart burst when he saw the corners of your lips lifting into a small smile, and it began to glow in his chest when you nodded again.
“If you’re going to keep feeding me delicious food, I can definitely be your friend,” you assured him.
“Hey, if it’s delicious food you want, you’ve come to absolutely the right place,” he grinned before squeezing your shoulder one more time and then standing up to let you eat your sandwich in peace. “Listen, I’ve got to get back to work soon, but feel free to look around and make yourself at home. There’s not much, really, but there’s a shower and some extra clothes.”
“Okay,” you said quietly, nodding and wiping away the last of your tears.
As you turned back to the table and began to eat your sandwich, Yunhyeong quickly made one for himself to take back to the lab. Since he’d been interrupted by... this whole situation, he hadn’t been able to actually have anything to eat during his lunch break. But as long as he turned away from the plants and equipment to eat, it should be fine.
“I’ll just be in the lab,” he said after completing his sandwich and heading out toward the hallway. “Let me know if you need anything, okay?”
“Okay,” you answered just before he stepped through the kitchen doorway. And then you called out, “Thank you again! I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this!”
Yunhyeong simply smiled to himself.
Hopefully, he would be able to get back into his work mindset -- at least for a few hours or so. He needed to try his best to get as much work done as possible because he had a sneaking suspicion you were going to become more and more of a distraction the longer you stayed here.
Tumblr media
Even though he had been given no parameters as far as work hours when he’d started this position, Yunhyeong had set a schedule for himself to try and keep some semblance of a normal life. He, like most people, needed time to unwind after working all day, but if he had no specific clock out time, it was very possible he would work well into the night.
So, from his very first day on the station, he’d set an alarm for six in the evening so he could force himself to stop working and enjoy his evenings.
And, unsurprisingly, his evenings after work always started off with cooking.
But, unsurprisingly again, this evening was a little different than most.
Or... all. It was different than all of the evenings he’d had on the station thus far. Every single one.
Over the past several hours, he’d only heard your presence on the station a few times. He must’ve been too focused on work to notice much else -- either that or you’d just been incredibly quiet. But, apparently, you’d been up to a lot because when he locked up the lab for the night, he caught sight of you standing by the window in the living room across the hall. Your hair was wet and you were wearing a pair of his pajamas, something that unexpectedly tugged at his heart.
“Hey,” he greeted as he stepped into the room. “I’m all done with --”
He trailed off when you turned around to look at him. Your face had been scrubbed clean, and even though you really didn’t look much different -- if at all -- the sight of you standing there, fresh-faced with damp hair and wearing his pajamas... it made his heart jump up into his throat and his breath catch, for some reason.
Truly, it had been far too long since he’d had any social interaction.
You must have thought he was staring at you for reasons other than that, though, because you bashfully looked down at the pajamas and said, “I wasn’t sure if it was okay -- I can just wear my own clothes if you --”
“No, no,” he interrupted hastily, taking a step closer to you. “No, it’s fine. Sorry. Wear whatever you want, really.”
Your lips curved into a soft grin, and you gestured behind your shoulder with one hand. “I was just admiring the view,” you told him before turning back around to gaze out the window.
Yunhyeong joined you, taking several large steps to come and stand next to you.
He glanced very briefly out at the scenery before him, finding his eyes were of a mind to settle on you instead.
Either he had forgotten just how beautiful you were or the relief of being safe had melted your anxiety and heightened your attractiveness because... wow. The slope of your nose and the curve of your lips were stunning and enticing. Your eyelashes, your cheeks, the way your hair framed your face.
“It’s so beautiful,” you said, your gaze fixed on the stars and planets visible from the window.
Yunhyeong almost laughed because you had voiced aloud his thoughts almost exactly.
“Yes,” he agreed with his eyes still locked on you rather than the outside view. “Yes, it is.”
You continued observing the scenery for a few more moments -- long enough for Yunhyeong to get his wits about him, thankfully, and when you turned to look at him, he was fairly certain it wasn’t obvious he’d been staring at you.
“So,” you stated. “What can I do to help?”
“Well, you’re in luck,” he answered with a grin. “I mean, unless your idea of fun isn’t quite the same as mine... But I was planning on making pasta for dinner and then breaking open some wine, putting on some music -- Jazz, if you’re into it -- and just... relaxing.”
And, now, if you were there, he could actually have a chat. A good, old-fashioned chat.
But... if you liked to create clones in your spare time, then you most likely weren’t the type of person to label that type of evening as ‘fun.’
“That sounds... amazing,” you replied, somewhat breathless.
Oh!
Well!
Color him surprised!
“Yeah?” he asked, trying to tamp down his excitement. “I’ve come up with a pretty great recipe for spaghetti sauce. I can teach you how to make it?”
Your lips curved into a smile, and you nodded quickly. “Yes, please. I would love that.”
As Yunhyeong led you to the kitchen, he found himself already daydreaming about... well, so many things.
Cooking with you. Drinking wine with you. Listening to music with you. Chatting with you. Getting to know you better. Allowing himself to open up to you so you could get to know him better.
Then, of course, daydreams about all that led to daydreams about later on down the road. Cooking with you and sneaking kisses in here and there. Drinking wine and listening to music and snuggling on the couch with you. Chatting with you those really deep chats that only surface when you’re fully and entirely comfortable with someone.
He still hardly knew you, of course, but at this moment... he could imagine himself falling in love with you. And even if that never happened -- or even came close to happening -- just the idea of it was enough.
He wanted it to happen, of course, and he was definitely going to try as long as you were willing.
But, if today had taught him anything, it was to never assume. Never assume things can’t or won’t happen. Never assume that, just because every day previously had been the same, today wouldn’t be different. Anything could happen!
And he knew this had absolutely no bearing on the events of today, but... Yunhyeong planned on asking the computer what the weather was like on Earth more often.
Just for fun.

Some astrological opinions
(positivity edition)
This is from a Cap pov ✨
Aries : Alrighty Aries ! I don’t have many Aries friends in my life, but I am an Aries moon and what I can say about the few Aries people I met is : even if you can be very confrontational and impulsive, at least I know you’re speaking what you truly think on the instant - like, you aren’t the type to stab people in the back, you stab your opponent and look him/her in the eyes. And do you know how rare it is nowadays ? Sometimes you can judge one’s moral values by the way they treat their own enemies. Also, you guys are young souls in the reincarnation cycle, hence why you often got so much energy to make bold choices or actions - and honestly, that’s refreshing, we need to feel new energies in our lives, which you always bring with yourselves ! 🔥
Taurus : Tauruses, I’m always so protective with you, I think you are so underrated ! Perhaps that’s because you are so reliable ? You are among the first people I instinctively trust when I get in a new school, a new town, and once you start sticking around someone, you don’t let them down - this may be part of your stubborn attitude ahah. You are what I would call « root » friends, and what’s really delightful with you is that we don’t necessarily need to know each other’s full life stories to share nice and warm moments together. Simple friendships are sometimes what we need the most to reconnect with ourselves, and you are the kind of people that always make people feel home. Also ? You know how to keep your close friends’ secrets - which don’t prevent you from judging them though 👀
Gemini : Alright, two of my very good friends are Gemini, and let me tell you : you guys are the people that make Caps like me feel fun when I have to do social interactions. There’s such a fun, dynamic energy with you and it’s contagious, you are my partners in crime and actually, long-lasting ones. For Earth signs, I think you bring this light-hearted vibes we desperately need sometimes, and I think the world would be definitely less bold and less funny without you to try out things I would secretely regret not trying. Also, when it comes to serious issues, you are among the first to help, even when I expect it the least, which makes you more trustworthy than what the cliché says. I wouldn’t say reliable though, but it’s not a criticism, it’s more because you have so many projects that you can easily adapt or change your plans depending on what you’re currently interested in. I’m speaking more specifically of Gemini girls here btw - sorry guys, I really don’t know you much... 🌪
Cancer : Cancers, you are the sweetest, most genuine and softest people I’ve ever known. I thank the Universe for sending you in my life, because you are the people that help me learning to embrace a softer, more vulnerable side of my personality, especially Cancer boys, who are among my best friends. As an Earth sign (and a Cap), I’d say we complete each other’s needs, and you guys bring us emotional liberation, which is priceless. You always care for you friends and you deserve to be cared about just as much, please don’t forget this. Also, Cancer girls : you are f i e r c e. And you know how many meanings can this word hold for you. 🧡
Leo : A round of applauses for the Diva of the Zodiac ! While it is true most of my Leo relatives and friends love attention and drama, they are actually the sweetest when their affection comes right from the heart and not from the ego. Most of them hold their eccentricity from a lowkey lack of confidence, though. You are the type of friends who will act generously to show your love, you just love to find the right attention for each of your friends and honestly, I am grateful for having a few Leo relatives because they always help me bringing out a more extrovert and fun side, just like Geminis. I’d say the difference with you and Geminis are that your energy comes from the fire of your heart while Geminis are literally free, non-rigid spirits, which give them the same vibes but I’d say you’re a bit more of a sentimentalist compared to them. Finally, I’d like to say that my father figure was a Leo too and he wasn’t necessarily « extra » like the cliché, Leos can be quiet and humble too, but their generous, affectionate heart will always betray them - when it’s not your ego, ahah. 🦁
Virgo : Dear Earth fellow, I think Caps and Virgos are very similar in their rational way of thinking and organizing their life. Along with Tauruses, you feel safe and I just know I can rely on you when I have a project going on. I’m not necessarily talking about business project, although it could be : it can be something personal, which is much more important, and I know I can trust you to have my back. You are very protective when you love someone - and also ? quite kinky for some of you. Yeah, people say you are control freaks, that you have a problem with authority but you know what ? Most of the Virgos I know don’t have that problem, or rather : they start off like this, and with time, they become of the chillest friends I know, unless when they start panicking about something they didn’t expect or didn’t know how to handle. You sure don’t like to feel your ego hurt, and you won’t spare your words when you attack back, but that’s also because you do know how to choose your words, almost like Water signs, but in a more calculating way - and I mean it in a neutral way, like it can be used to find peace in a argument too, because you are very observant of the people around you, what triggers them and what appeases them. 🦢
Libra : Libras, you’re going to hate me for making such a short passage for you, but truth is... I literally don’t know any Libra in my life. However, from what I know and the few Libras I met in my life, I’d like to say you do stand out with your aesthetic. People say you are always good-looking, but I think this beauty mostly comes out of the fact that your appearance matches your soul, your way of feeling and embracing yourself - and that’s incredibly sexy. Also, that’s definitely something ethereal with you, you are a free spirit like Gemini but even more regarding your social life. You don’t want to be chained to relationships, you let them go with the flow and I think that also comes from your intellectual and emotional attachment to freedom - like the other Air signs. ☁️
Scorpio : I don’t really get the hate around Scorpios. Just like Pisces, they are among the most loyal, dedicated and caring friends I’ve known, even if they may have some trouble expressing what they feel intensely. I don’t mind it, personally, I love how meaningful their little gestures can be, you just know it comes from a honest place ! Your friendships are solid ones too, once someone got your heart. People say you might be manipulative, but again, isn’t it the same reproach for every Water signs ? Tbh, unlike Pisces, I’ve seen you guys be criticized most of the time because of your blunt honestly, and not your lies. You’ re too proud not to say what’s on your mind when it matters to you. Finally, I also love your creativity, I think yours is quite underrated compared to the other Water signs’, I mean, when you channel your intensity into art, you guys come up with such great ideas, I had so much fun writing stories with my Scorpio friend ! 🖤
Sagittarius : My sis is a Sagittarius, and as chaotic our relationship can be, I must admit there’s no one braver than her in my life. She has this fire, this willpower that has always allowed her to bounce back in hard times, and I think that’s what I find most inspiring in Sagittarius. You guys don’t hesitate, you just chase your goals and desires and it’s basically what’s life is for ! Just remember you are allowed to be vulnerable sometimes. Also, I think you are actually very very smart, but in a cooler, « no big deal »way than other signs (don’t get me wrong though : you know your worth, and you won’t hesitate reminding people), I guess that’s what makes your humor so witty ! Oh, and your fashion aesthetic ? It always carries a part of your personality, you aren’t the type to buy clothes that aren’t of the quality or the brands you like. I actually think you are quite fashionable, but always in your own style. 🐎
Capricorn : Alright my dear fellows, time to give the Goat some appreciation time. Of course one of my best friends is a Cap, because between goats, we understand each other. While it would be difficult to find the good parts of my Cap personality, it is so much easier with this friend. Caps are reliable and loyal, the friendships we offer is made of iron, and we rarely break them, unless we feel truly betrayed or used. Just like Tauruses, we don’t like drama, or at least, we don’t like to start dramas - but judging people ? Oh h o n e y.... Anyway, that’s probably because we have more maturity and mostly self-control in social interactions. Don’t get me wrong : on the inside, we can hold grudges forever as long as our ego thinks it’s important. So, yes we are proud beings, stubborn ones, but that’s also what makes us succeed in our goals and rarely give up, despite our fear of failure and disappointment. Also, I think we can all agree that we are funny as hell, in the goofiest or wittiest ways possible sometimes. Finally, I wanna conclude with something : on the emotional level, we are a lot similar to Scorpios. What we feel is so authentic and dedicated that we often have a hard time to express it, especially since we are also like Virgos in our way of observing people and calculating our words. We might fear it wouldn’t be worth the risk, so we keep it inside and express our love in subtle, yet genuine and protective ways, with gifts or caring advises for example. 🐐
Aquarius : Ohh, Aquarius, I had the most amazing and heart-breaking friendships with you. I know a lot of people have a negative experience with Aquarius, but I think that’s because our own expectations of them end up being betrayed instead of accepting them as they are, including their boundaries and their conception of relationships. You don’t owe anything to any of your friends, if this friend doesn’t stimulate you anymore, on an intellectual or emotional level, you won’t fake it, you won’t force it, you just follow your guts, even if that person used to be your best friend or that person you used to text every day and night. Friendships last as long as you have fuel to feed them with these free spirits. These old souls don’t have time anymore to keep superficial friendships for old time’s sake, they want mature, profound connexion, and when they actually fall in love and let down their rational, cold-looking wall ? They become devotee of their lover. There’s no in-between with you Aquariuses : it’s ride or die, the spiritual, intellectual or emotional connexions you share are intense, often fusional for a time, and the best thing to do with you is to enjoy it while it lasts and respect your boundaries. 🌬
Pisces : Let’s end up with the oldest souls of the zodiac ! Maybe the ancient age of your soul explains why you understand so well the mechanisms of the soul ? I think you definitely are the moms of the Zodiac, more than Cancers, but that’s a bit despite yourselves. You didn’t ask for this, it’s something you genuinely feel, as your soul remembers its past experiences. I do think most of you guys partly suffer from this empathy and these overflowing emotions when you don’t manage to channel them through exercices or art. Tragic thing is, when you reincarnate, you forget you are an old soul, and yet, you are born with the feelings and intuition of an old soul, which can take some times to figure out. I think this is the main reason why people often accuse you of being toxic or having boundary issues. That’s why I also don’t agree when people call you the baby of the zodiac. You are no baby, you are the oldest of them all, and you don’t know what to do with what your soul has acquired during all these past lives. Also, even if you are caring and very compassionate, you have to admit you do have a strong ego too. It’s okay, no need to repress it, everybody got one and we won’t throw rocks at you for showing it when you lose your temper 🌊

Haikyuu!! as their Zodiac Signs
Starring Oikawa Tooru as cancer
Soo there are a couple of fundamental traits associated with cancer’s: They are loyal, protective, intuitive and caring. On the flipside they can be overly sensitive, moody and prone to be vindictive. I’ll start with the good and see where and how they apply best to him.
Positive Traits:
Loyal:
I can totes see Oikawa as being a loyal person and this reflects itself in a couple of areas in his life. Firstly, his long-term friendship with his childhood best friend Iwaizumi. The two seem to have very different approaches to life, people and how they confront problems. Despite their differences, they balance each other out and take their friendship seriously. Iwaizumi is probably one of the very few people he’s authentic with since Iwaizumi can clearly tell when he’s being genuine or not. He’s also incredibly loyal to volleyball who would have thought and even though he may have had his doubts when he felt burnt out, he’d always end up returning back to the sport. He is so loyal and one-track minded when it comes to volleyball that it apparently got in the way of his previous relationship, so it’s clear that it’s a priority. Cancers are known for being extremely loyal partners and even may stay in relationships that are unhealthy because of this. I have a hard time imagining Oikawa as this playboy because he’s very much an all-or-nothing kinda guy.
Protective:
Hmmm I didn’t really see Oikawa as protective at first. But I do think he’s quite family-orientated since he coaches his nephew (along with other children) and is seen to spend time with him. But this dude is so protective of his pride like get a grip. Even though shiratorizawa was the better option, he refused to go because of his “worthless pride”. This guy holds onto certain beliefs and ideologies that really do more harm to him than good and they can show themselves in really toxic ways- like him overworking himself or almost beating kageyama up like chill tf out
Intuitive:
All waters signs are innately intuitive and cancers are no exception and I think Oikawa exemplifies that well. Oikawa is excellent at reading his teammates as well as his opponents. He can manipulate opposing teams by spotting their weaknesses but also has the ability of bringing his team together and bringing out the best of his teammates. His intuition gives him a lot of social grace as well (even if he acts like a child a lot of the time). He really does have the gift of gab and can probs sweet talk his way out of anything- he knows what social mask to wear for which occasion. Even Iwaizumi has said that he’s only seen Oikawa smile genuinely once. That’s not to say that this bish is fake, but he is highly adaptable und will tailor his actions based around those around him- he’s a social chameleon and there’s only few exceptions where he’s truly himself.
Caring:
He cares a lot about a lot of things. It probably seems like all he thinks about 24/7 is volleyball which is partly true, but he does care about others a lot as well. Again, his friendship with Iwaizumi showcases this really well, but also his connection to his family and his nephew in particular. He can be savage classy, bougie, ratchet on the volleyball court, but outside of it he actually seems really polite?? Like he takes time out of his day to interact with his fangirls even though they probably can be overbearing at times or even get in the way of getting to and from practice- yet he still takes photos for them and is appreciative when they offer him bentos?? And unlike Kageyama, Oikawa truly is a teamplayer and brings out the 100% of his team- even when they lose, he is never resentful or regretful. I’ve also felt that his teammates are not just his teammates because he seems pretty close with all of them and they all have banter back and forth. Oikawa is truly great at making sure these bonds and interactions are harmonious. To bring out their strengths but also bc I think Oikawa would be sensitive to conflict.
Negative traits:
Overly-sensitive:
Yeah, for sure. He tends to take things personally, even impersonal criticism or objective advice. He’s the type of guy who probably remembers something innocuous you said only to bring it up again months later. He was also really bent out of shape when kiyoko ignored him it’s not that deep dude. Cancers are not really the aggressive type, so I doubt you’ll get into an explosive fight (it can happen ofc, but they’ll probably think abt hurting you than actually doing anything) but they are so effing petty! They will resort to childish antics, petty remarks and are prone to being passive aggressive. These are all qualities that we have seen Oikawa exhibit, so I’m not even going to elaborate more.
Moody:
I think this fits him well. He does manage to put on a good social mask and depending on the situation, he can maneuver his way through life with his charm and social skills. However, he isn’t like ushijima, akaashi or suna who tend to not let outward factors affect their emotions. He’s a very reactive person and feels deeply to what is happening around him. A lot of cancers (esp in my experience) have the tendency to go MIA and retreat into their shells. I haven’t seen Oikawa do this as frequently, I think. For him, home is where the heart is and his heart is with volleyball. He doesn’t really brood or fall into a cycle of self-pity- he’s just too ambitious for that. Instead, he’ll throw himself into the sport to improve and he does this obsessively to the point of injuring himself. He doesn’t want to see himself as a victim and he certainly doesn’t want others to view him that way either. He’ll only open up to those he truly trusts and even then, it’s usually through passive aggressive insults, bitter remarks and barely hidden insecurity.
Vindictive:
Cancers are not vengeful in the way that scorpios are, but they can hold onto a grudge for years and become extremely resentful. This is esp the case if a cancers insecurity is “attacked”. (I use that term loosely btw). Oikawa hated kageyama from the beginning bc he “hated geniuses” and refused to teach or help him- this is oikawa’s inferiority shining through. He didn’t want to give kageyama, who is already gifted with raw talent any more advantage over him. Yeah, oikawa is extremely talented and skilled but he probably thinks that those with the natural gift for volleyball will always be a step ahead since they’ll learn new techniques and get better as they improve. Rationally speaking, oikawa and kageyama would learn a lot from each other, but oikawa is vindictive and won’t help someone he sees as an enemy. At least not without throwing some petty jabs. It also would have made more sense for him to go to shiratorizawa if he was concerned with being the best of the best, however it was personal for him. He has a longstanding rivalry with ushijima and it wouldn’t have made much sense for oikawa to join because it’s personal for him. He wouldn’t just throw away his personal beliefs and ignore his vendetta just because logically it would make more sense for him to do so. He’s very much a heart over head kind of guy so a lot of how he acts and responds are going to align with his own value system.
