oooh kate im so curious how would u describe ur experience with ur pisces venus? like how do you approach love and show it and fall in love and become infatuated? ooooh and what venus/moon signs have u seen yourself attracted to? yes this is for research purposes 🥰😁
oh GOD... here we go
for context my venus is in the 5th house and my moon is in the 12th (rip). i think my libra moon also enables and emphasizes the pisces venus a LOT because i am literally so invested in fantasy romance that i fail to seek it out in reality bc fantasy is safer and more satisfying :| LMAO. and i’ve always been like that since i was a kid, i’ve always been such a daydreamer and obsessed with fictional romance. and whats extra interesting is its specifically very fantasy romance, like i have never been into contemporary romance novels or even rom coms, it needs to be high-stakes, intense, otherwordly, ethereal, etc. which is so fucking pisces it literally KILLS ME.
i think its also incredibly interesting considering it is surrounded by my aries stellium. i am incredibly bold, unapologetic and confident in EVERY area of my life except for romance and sex, where i become so passive its literally like im a different person (and i hate it). like i have no problem public speaking in front of 300 people (aries mercury) and i did it plenty in college, i have no problem making new platonic friends, i have no problem confronting people or telling someone off, (aries mars) and then when it comes to needing that boldness in a romantic/sexual connotation its just GONE!!!! like i’d happily call a bitch out for saying something rude in front of our entire friend group or pour a drink on some creep who was harassing a friend but the second you ask me to go up to someone and start flirting with them i will literally freeze and melt into a puddle like i physically cannot. make. the. first. move. its a curse. same goes for like being the first to initiate a kiss or anything else like i physically cannot do it and its so bizarre because i am such an initiator in EVERY other area of my life.
i also am incredibly prone to overlooking a romantic interests flaws. i basically convinced myself i was in love with my ex despite all of the glaring red flags and the fact i literally felt no attraction towards him. like i would lay in bed at night and promise myself “the attraction will come with time!” BITCH!!! and i would excuse all of his poor behavior. it was genuinely like i was a different person because i would never let anyone get away with so much shit in any other context (definitely the libra moon with this too). i also fall in love with everyone i see because i will daydream an entire fictional reality about them in my head and then when they dont live up to it im like ??????? but ive gotten better at that LMFAO. but my friends always give me shit for meeting someone and texting them for literally 2 days and being like “they are my soulmate.” also im obsessed with the concept of soulmates. bonk. im also very attracted to tragic men. i see a man with a tortured past and im sold. not even in a “ill fix you” way like i just think its hot YES its a character flaw im aware. im terminally attracted to pisces sun men of course.... its literally the bane of my existence but i dont think this can be entirely attributed to the pisces moon because my daddy issues deserve some credit too!! and my dad is a pisces. the ex i mentioned is also a pisces. but also just water sign men in general. i almost always find out the guy im into is a water sign or has a lot of water placements. i had a fling with a cancer man as well but he proved to be too soft it turned me off LMAO. im obsessed with the idea of scorpios but i havent actually had any romantic experience with them however i do have some great and life-long scorpio friends. my ex was a leo moon and i think a leo venus as well but i honestly dont remember? i dont remember the others venus signs. i also love capricorn men. i had one thing with a capricorn moon man (aries sun and rising) and we could literally read each others minds like we were on the same wavelength it was so sexy.... but for the most part its more celebrities i love and then i find out they are caps! i have been saying that zac clarke from the bachelorrette has the best husband energy and how much i love him since like week 2 and i literally was like “he has to be an earth sign” and viola. capricorn. i dont know enough about my taste in women yet to give any conclusive data on that but i know for sure i’m not into pisces women LMAO because i have had so many pisces women in my life and they drive me insane even tho i do love them as friends. i hope this is helpful for your research let me know if you need any more specifics xoxo

Ship meme
Rules: Name 5 of your OTPs from 5 different fandoms and tag 10 people (or as many as you want) to pass it on!

Hmmm...me and shipping, love-hate relationship of long standing.
I’ve been in and out of the fandom world for 20 years; I haven’t been active in a lot of fandoms and in most of them I don’t ship any characters, much less have an OTP, so I’ll be talking about not shipping here more than shipping. Which I suppose is appropriate considering my non-shipper status in my current fandom. So most of these aren’t about romantic ships, but about relationships in general between characters.
1. Giles and Joyce (Buffy)
I loved the brief bit of Giles/Joyce we got in Buffy, but it was never really something I shipped. Giles was by far my favourite character, so seeing him interact with people other than the Scoobies was always tops of my list; other than that my faves were some of the recurring villains, so not much shipping potential there. For me, the show was about Giles attempting to keep Buffy alive; the rest was kind of filler of varying degrees of interestingness.
2. Saul/Ellen (Battlestar Galactica)
Probably the closest thing to an OTP I’ve had in my fandom life. Two of my favourite characters just happened to be married to each other. Awesome! I loved everything about these two, especially how tremendously fucked up they both were, and how their deep love for each other managed to pull them through everything. I was even okay with the crazy twist towards the end of the series, because it gave them an excuse to bring Ellen back. I did a complete re-watch of BSG last year and seeing Micheal Hogan and Kate Vernon letting it all hang out (metaphorically speaking) was still the highlight of the show. And it reminded me of how almost shocking it is to see a couple well into middle age depicted on TV who are still madly, crazily, in love with each other, still turned on by each other, and not caring what other people think about that. Supercool.
3. Snape/Harry (Harry Potter)
Not really an OTP, as I did ship other ships when I was in HP fandom, but Snape/Harry was my principal mode of transport there. HP also was my fandom for cross-generational ships, something that hasn’t been a feature of my fannishness in any other fandom, even ones (such as BSG) where there were lots of opportunities to do so. It was also the first fandom that I wrote fic for, so also the first fandom where I gave much thought to shipping at all.
Snape was my favourite character and Harry I treated as my LBD: I shipped him with Snape, Remus, Sirius, Fleur, Scorpius and Teddy (all cross-gen ships). I’ve always been interested in power dynamics in relationships, so Snape/Harry was kind of perfect for that kind of exploration, especially the darker aspects of power in relationships. Other than gifts, all the shipfic I wrote in HP was darkfic of one kind or another, so shipping the dark knight with the little prince seemed like the perfect vector for exploring some of my favourite themes.
4. Don and Betty (Mad Men)
Another non-ship ship, because I had no interest in Betty and Don’s relationship when they were married. I think this was because the show is so much from Don’s POV, and Don had no interest in or respect for his first wife, that that POV sort of coloured my views. But as soon as Betty grew a spine, essentially said Fuck You to Don and found herself a man who treated her with respect, then Don really sees her for the first time and--too late--recognises what he has just as he’s losing it due to his own negligence and stupidity. I love Don and Betty’s relationship after the divorce, the (entirely understandable) prickly hostility, how Betty tries to project the problems of her second marriage onto Don and make them his (and Sally’s) fault, and how in the end they find a way to become friends (of a kind). One of my favourite moments in the entire series is when Betty calls Don to tell him she might have thyroid cancer, and how she needs his reassurance that it’ll be alright and he gives her what she needs without hesitation.
5. Mycroft and Sherlock (Sherlock)
Oh, god, where do I start with this? I’m still in shock from S4, especially TFP. I feel like an ascetic who’s been living on porridge and broth for seven years, who suddenly finds herself at a four-star French restaurant, presented with a multi-course meal of meat and sauces and wine and completely unable to digest any of it, no matter how delicious is it. All the new Holmes family canon has created some sort of brain blockage, and I’m guessing it’ll take me at least a year to process it.
Anyway, enough of that. What is it about these two that attracts me so much (and no, it has nothing to do with the actors, other than the fact they’re both brilliant)? I guess part of it has to do with the fact I think John’s really boring and I have no interest in exploring his relationship with Sherlock, even as a friendship (I think John/Sherlock is ludicrous, but I understand what drives that notion for other people). To me, the most important relationship in the show is Sherlock and Mycroft. I don’t mean in a canonical sense, because canonically Sherlock’s relationship with John is really the heart of the show. I guess I’m just more interested in the spleen and the liver and the pancreas than I am in the heart.
Since watching S1, I’ve suspected that Mycroft has been behind so much of what drives Sherlock; how could he not be, he’s Sherlock’s older brother, has known him his entire life, and had been his protector/overseer/bane of his existence for decades before John showed up on the scene. Sherlock’s relationship with his brother plays into my fascination with inter-personal power imbalances, and how people attempt to resist or subvert them for their own purposes. And to wrap it all up with a bow, it’s been obvious since S3 that the brothers love each other very much, but are so messed up they have almost no idea how to either express that or even attempt a quasi-functional relationship. And Mycroft is by far my favourite character, so it makes sense that the relationship that interests me the most is the most important relationship in his life.
