Oh, hey, wasn't expecting YongJie and XingSi here to show us what it means to be in a longterm couple and how they slowly make it work and figure out how to live together... but welcome!
But, also, how does this conversation lead to Liang literally cutting off all contact with Wynn? Poor Wynn.

i'm watching rvb11 again so here's a running list of everything i love about this season
contact, my beloved
a nice recap intro for anyone who is new (why...) or got lost in the sauce during 9/10!
"i'm a cyborg, you wanna bow down to me?"
grif's bit about them always holding their weapons never fails to land for me
the way that tension is built throughout this season is so good. SO fucking good. this season is all the lighthearted BGC-ness that the show had been missing for a chunk of seasons and the way that the "something's not right here" gradually grows and grows is so fucking good.
specifically, we see locus for the first time at 31:10 (i'm watching the complete one on yt) listening to wash's mayday. at 34:30 sarge uses a sniper to scope out what the reds are doing; at 46:58 we see the blues through a sniper's scope again shortly before grif and sarge bust into the blues' conversation, and then sarge hops out of the warthog without a sniper rifle on him. it's not till 53:10 that we see locus again up on the cliffside.
d: can i get a heck yeah? s: hell no. d: close enough!
the dead body as the camera pans around the refueling station... chef kiss. what an introduction to locus.
felix's intro isn't as juicy as locus's but i love the way it comes right on the heels of locus murdering a dude over wanting to tell people about the crash -- of course someone else might have found out!
the way that wash is framed so ominously when he's fixing caboose's helmet is so great too; the cracked screens on the wall mimicking the room we first see him in in 6. fantastic.
felix's massively dramatic pearl-clutchy oscar-winning introduction to the reds getting utterly wasted on the two lopezes is SO GOOD especially in light of how hard he stroked his ego over his good acting
"you're going to want to sit down for this story, it's about 20 hours long and i only enjoy telling it in five-minute intervals" is one of my all-time favorite jokes in this entire series and i manage to always forget it's from this season
wash's apology to caboose for not being there for him (or tucker) is one of my favorite wash moments in this whole arc, if not my favorite. it's such a lovely and touching moment, and it also makes me all the more furious that epsilon a) came back at all and b) was a horrific dick to tucker in particular
felix and locus snapping at each other is, again, all the funnier When You Know because felix is so transparently enjoying "riling up" locus and locus's "shut up and be glad i missed your head" is so transparently genuine
g: holy shit, did you see that? c: NO! WHAT HAPPENED? PLEASE DESCRIBE IT TO ME.
the fucking orange juice gag
💛 aggressive, paranoid, and a little melodramatic 💛
the ongoing gag of everyone thinking they had someone to do with the crash is also so fucking good
"no, i'm a freelancer. NO, I MEAN, I'M A MERCENARY-"
again, When You Know: the implication that felix murdered the three people he came to the crash site with! delicious!
caboose's radio breaking in the middle of his speech is SO funny
"man, you are just cryptic"
ugh! ugh! the reconstruction theme coming back when wash changes his armor! gets me every time!
and with donut's line i'm immediately reminded of how fandom apparently chewed itself to pieces over thinking that wash is black/gold not steel/gold lol
(H4 wasn't kind to simmons either but w/e)
dos.0 attacking and felix immediately going "this isn't right" is, yet again, so transparent in hindsight
this is also a very fun and well-done machinima battle
rocket hog my beloved
pan across the canyon my beloved
reconstruction theme again! my beloved!
tucker's reaction to finding out that wash, sarge, and donut didn't make it is also so good. his character arc on chorus is Just So Good.
and so is kimball's intro with felix -- especially in how she exerts authority over him immediately ("you're not getting paid the full amount") and we see over time just how much felix has worked to make sure that she thinks that's what their relationship is
man. kimball. my beloved.
"you just need to try."
in conclusion: still my fave season of the chorus arc, probably

still day 1 - html
once again, technically not day 1, still doesn't matter,
common/basic html tags
<p> (closing </p>): creates a paragraph
<h1> (closing </h1>): creates a heading. this tag is used for the biggest headings in the page (example: a general, all encompassing title)
<h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> (closing </h2> </h3> </h4> </h5>): these four tags also create headings, each smaller than the next. h2 is bigger than h3 and so on (example: h2 can be used for a chapter title, and h3 for the title of each section of that chapter)
<h6> (closing </h6>): creates a heading. this tag is used for the smallest headings in the page
<strong> (closing </strong>): makes the text stronger, usually bolding it. this tag goes inside other tags, like <p> (example: <p>normal text <strong>bold text</strong> normal text</p>)
<em> (closing </em>): emphasizes the text, usually italicizing it. this tag goes inside other tags (example: <p>normal text <em>emphasized text</em> normal text</p>)
<a href="example"> (closing </a>): creates a clickable link. the link / path goes inside the quotes in the opening tag (in place of the word example that i put there for reference). the text you want to be able to click which directs to the link goes between the tags (example: <a href="link">text to be clicked</a>)
<br> (no closing tag): creates a line break inside a paragraph (since line breaks in the code are ignored). in other words, it sends the text after it to the next line, without creating a new paragraph, instead of having it stay in the same line as the text before it until it no longer fits
that was a lot but it's the basics i swear. also all these tags are used inside/between the <body></body> tags (explained in my "absolute basics" post which i will not link to right now sorry). that's it

Best Underrated Anime Group H Round 2: #H6 vs H4
#H6: Cozy slice of life about a high school girl with a camera
#H4: Teen Shogi prodigy grows up and battles his mental health
Details and poll under the cut!
Tumblr media
#H6: Tamayura: Hitotose
youtube
Summary:
In her last year of middle school, Fuu Sawatari had trouble dealing with her emotions following the sudden death of her father. Through the help of her brother and childhood friend, she rediscovered her love for photography, an activity she and her father often did together. In addition, she decided to attend high school in Takehara, her father's hometown and a place they often visited when she was younger.
It has been one month now since Fuu moved to Takehara and became close with her current group of friends: carefree Kaoru Hanawa, excitable Norie Okazaki, and quiet Maon Sakurada. Together with them and several acquaintances around town and abroad, Fuu continues her mission of capturing the joys of everyday life using her father's camera, while also helping her friends discover their own passions.
Propaganda:
No stakes, only warmth. Tamayura: Hitotose is the single coziest anime I have ever watched. It is like Moomins or Studio Ghibli (without all the excitement), in that after watching it you feel like the greatest magic the world has ever known is a home-made bowl of soup, a trip to the mountains, a photograph of a memory. Which is all true. Animes like this teach you to live right, and that's why we need them. Also to teach us to be "more aggressivu!" If you ever have a really rough day/week/month/year/decade, let your soul be soothed and watch Tamayura: Hitotose.
Trigger Warnings: Unknown.

#H4: March Comes in Like a Lion (Sangatsu no Lion)
youtube
Summary:
Having reached professional status in middle school, Rei Kiriyama is one of the few elite in the world of shogi. Due to this, he faces an enormous amount of pressure, both from the shogi community and his adoptive family. Seeking independence from his tense home life, he moves into an apartment in Tokyo. As a 17-year-old living on his own, Rei tends to take poor care of himself, and his reclusive personality ostracizes him from his peers in school and at the shogi hall.
However, not long after his arrival in Tokyo, Rei meets Akari, Hinata, and Momo Kawamoto, a trio of sisters living with their grandfather who owns a traditional wagashi shop. Akari, the oldest of the three girls, is determined to combat Rei's loneliness and poorly sustained lifestyle with motherly hospitality. The Kawamoto sisters, coping with past tragedies, also share with Rei a unique familial bond that he has lacked for most of his life. As he struggles to maintain himself physically and mentally through his shogi career, Rei must learn how to interact with others and understand his own complex emotions.
Propaganda:
Sangatsu no Lion is a series that gets praise and has some awards, but it gets rarely talked about. It’s ranked highly on anime lists as being a good anime to watch, but there’s little fan engagement or video essays about it like other promising titles.
Maybe it's because the series is a slow-paced slice-of-life drama that goes over topics like mental health and the trauma of losing loved ones at a young age, and how those factors impacts the lead deeply.
Rei is a hard character to watch sometimes. He’s a doormat, shy and quiet, with crippling low self-esteem. He’s a social outcast. He puts a lot of burden on his own shoulders and blames himself for living up to people’s expectations. He’s a flawed and traumatized teenager forced to grow up too quickly.
Rei lives isolated, and that's how we're introduced to him. He has a strained relationship with his adoptive family. He has trouble interacting with his classmates. He has a few tentative friendships with the people he plays Shogi against, but Rei struggles to connect with others. It doesn't help that he feels pressured by the expectations placed on him as the fifth ever Shogi player to go pro in middle school, making him a prodigy. He's losing multiple matches and stagnating, struggling because of his mental health taking a downward spiral.
When Rei meets the Kawamoto girls, his life seems to get better. Rei initially doesn't want to get to close to the Kawamoto family for fear of rejection, but he ends up visiting often. With them, he receives the care and affection he never had in his foster home. He also learns to socialize and rely on others with his interactions with the Kawamotos, growing as a person.
Trigger Warnings: Child Abuse, Mild child neglect from adopted family, death of birth family, healing from mental health issues.
The plot revolves around Rei and him trying to cope with the stress of life and growing as a person. A part of this is him having to make peace with the trauma of losing his biological family and having a strained relationship with his adoptive family, who are neglectful and bitter towards him. The anime overall goes over Rei healing from his mental health issues, including battling his anxiety and issues with self-worth.

Cutie Pie Review - It’s All About the Chemistry
Tumblr media Tumblr media
quick pitch 
Cutie Pie 
(Thailand, Feb-May on YouTube) 
8/10
Main Tropes: arranged marriage, age gap, secret identity, cohabitation, rich kid problems, he’s in engineering
It was a real pleasure to see Zee again (Why R U?) and his new love interest is very well cast. MaxNat turned in their usual consummate side dish action, (origin Why R U? also Y-Destiny & Close Friend) and it’s always fun to see Perth (My Engineer) and the other guest cameos. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
With very high production values at at first I thought they were gunning for Korea, but I’m got a real Japanese feel from this one, Thai style of course but there is definitely a lot of visual referencing live action yaoi. Also the music and sound were pretty darn good.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It took me a few episodes to accept the absurd conceit of this show and its quirky characters and motivation as ALSO EXTREMELY traditionally yaoi and very lifestyle D/s. After that I just rolled with it. I realized that if this had come from Japan I would have given it a pass immediately. Why be tough on it just because it comes from Thailand?  So, about half way through I liked it A LOT more. 
The chronic miscommunication: 
Tumblr media
Really tested my patience at the end tho. 
THAI LANGUAGE CORNER
Why Ai'Hia was so funny in Cutie Pie 
A Mini Essay on My Love of LianKuea in Cutie Pie (and ZeeNunew's performances)
Tumblr media
Honestly I just love LianKuea's dynamic, it's so D/s but also so classic yaoi seme/uke. The way Lian smiles when his Nu does something cute is so damn sweet. He’s practically the definition of a caring Dom. Killing Kuea (and us) with stern softness. Zee did a fantastic job with this character. That said NuNew also managed to give us an appealing uke with gumption and a crush and a failure to understand self actualization who we liked.
But let's be honest here, the actors chemistry is REALLY good.
(After Semantic Error, I'm beginning to develop theories about same-sex actor age gaps and the chemistry development quality that results. But I need to gather more data first.)
Look, there is something about the way Zee looks as his acting partners. His eyes are very doting, no mater the line delivery or any other aspects of the scene. He's been given these fierce stern roles to play in Fighter and Lian but he always seems to manage to temper his characters with fondness.
I like doting affection on screen.
Tumblr media
I also like to see a seme actually sexually intersted in his uke, otherwise the archetype comes off as more inclined to ownership and less about desire. To be frank, Zee is also good at transmitting the "I want to bone" thing.
Since a seme character is aggressive and obsessive and intrusive he has to be tempered by some sort of softness to appeal to a modern audience. Add in authentic feeling sexual interest and the seme character MUST be gentled by the actor's performance, or we end up with a H4 situation. And Zee manages to transmit all that with just eye work. It's great to watch.
Tumblr media
But NuNew did a wonderful job too. Kuea was clearly interested and willing and game. There’s no sign of the Blushing Maiden with this uke. Thank fuck, could we PLEASE kill that archetype?
As much as I love a Daddy who wants his boy, a boy who needs his Daddy is about a billion times better. And genuine sexual interest from the uke character is still far too rare in BL.
In this regard, Cutie Pie was a breath of fresh air.
What can I say?
They love each other, they just idiots
is a favorite of mine.
But...
They WANT each other, they just idiots?
Yeah. That one is gonna get me EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
Tumblr media
The other pairs were good too! 
MaxNat serve us high heat while smiling the whole time. Which was kinda charming and basically their signature. These two just seem to have fun together. It’s nice. 
Language note on Yi’s confession: Diao’s nickname khondiao means “only” or a”lone” in Thai? So when Yi confesses, he’s using world play when he says “I love you only”. More here.  
Tumblr media
However, I gotta say my favorite kiss of this show (and it was VERY kissy), was actually Syn and Nuea. Adorable. I wish we had gotten more of these two. 
Cutie Pie ended very navel gaze maudlin and sappy for my taste. The absurd proposal back-and-forth thing was kinda par for the course with Lian and Kuea  and their miscommunication antics, but I was bored by it. 
Tumblr media
This show went from absurd to appealing to annoying and then back to absurd again - but always sappy and nicely high heat for what ultimate seemed to be an equal marriage propaganda piece. Which I’m fine with, but Taiwan’s Faded did it better in 20 minutes back in 2017. 
Nevertheless, on the strength of the chemistry of all three couples, the odd but very old fashioned romance tropes, and clear high rewatchability this one is getting a 8/10. Watch this one for the pretty, give it a pass on depth.

WhatsApp Clone Using HTML and CSS
What does cloning a website means?
To make a copy
Cloning a website means copying or modifying the design or script of an existing website to create a new website. Website cloning allows a designer to create a website without writing scripts from scratch.
Any website can be cloned. You are also free to integrate some additional new features while cloning your website.
Cloning a website is one of the proven methods you can use to learn web development faster. It provides basic to advanced ideas about how websites work and work, and how to integrate them.
Let’s learn how to clone a website just using HTML5 and CSS in a simple way. 
Will take an example of WhatsApp Website and will clone it. 
WhatsApp is a free cross-platform messaging service. iPhone and Android smartphone, Mac and Windows PC users can call or exchange text, photo, voice and video messages with anyone in the world for free, regardless of the recipient's device. WhatsApp uses Wi-Fi connections to communicate across platforms. This differs from Apple iMessage and Messages by Google, which require a cellular network and Short Message Service (SMS).
Key WhatsApp Terminology 
Cross Platform
Messaging apps
End-to-end encryption
Video & Audio Calls
WhatsApp Business
HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) –
HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language that is standard markup language to create web pages and web-based applications
It represents the structure of a web page
It comprises of series of elements which tells the browser how to display the content
Basic Structure of a HTML Document –
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>WhatsApp Clone</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>let's learn Web Development</h1>
    <p>My first project - WhatsApp Cloning</p>
</body>
</html>
Let’s Explain the above code –
- It is used to defines that the document is HTML5 document
- It is the root elements on an HTML Page
- It contains all the meta information about the HTML Page
- This element contains all the visible content of the page, such as paragraph, headlines, tables, list, etc. 
- It defines the largest heading for any topic, it ranges from -
- It defines a paragraph in the HTML page
Elements – 
It is the collection of start and end tag, and in between content is inserted between them. 
It major components are– 
Opening Tag – Used to tell the browser where the content starts. 
Closing Tag – Used to tell the browser where the content material ends. 
Content – Whatever written inside the opening and closing tag is content. 
Some Most Commonly used tags are – 
– Used to define a document or section, as it contains information related to titles and heading of related content. 
– The navigation tag is used to declare navigation sections in HTML documents. Websites typically have a section dedicated to navigation links that allows users to move around the site
– Anchor tag is used for creating hyperlink on the webpage. It is used to link one web page from another. 
– It is used to define a paragraph. Content written inside tag always starts from a new line. 
– It is used to define heading of a web page. There are 6 different heading h1, h2, h3, h4, h5 and h6. H1 is the main heading and the biggest followed by h2, h3, h4, h5 and h6.
- It is used to group multiple elements together. It helps in applying CSS. 
- Image tag is used to embed an image in a web page. 
CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) – 
CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets, that describes HTML elements that appear on screen, paper, or other media. 
It used for designing web pages, in order to make web pages presentable. 
It is standardized across Web Browsers and is one of the core languages of the open web system/technology.
CSS Selector – 
CSS Selectors are used to select or target the element that you want to style. Selectors are part of the CSS ruleset. CSS selectors select HTML elements by ID, class, type, attributes, etc. 
Types of CSS Selectors – 
Element Selector – It selects the HTML elements directly using name 
ID Selector – It selects the id attribute of an element. ID is always unique, in the code. So, it is used to target and apply design to a specific or a unique element. 
Class Selector - It selects the class attribute of an element. Unlike ID selector class selectors can be same of many elements. 
Universal Selector – It selects all the elements of the webpage, and apply changes to it. 
Group Selector – It is used when same style is to be applied on many elements. It helps in non-duplication of code. 
Different ways of applying CSS - 
CSS can be applied in different ways – 
Inline CSS – 
Styling is done using different attributed inside an element itself. It can be used to apply unique style for a single element.
<h1 style="color:blue;">Let's learn Web Development</h1>
Internal CSS –
It is defined or written within the <style> element, nested instead <head> section of HTML document. 
It is mainly used when need to apply CSS on a particular page. 
<style type="text/css">
    h1 {
      color:blue;
    }
</style>
External CSS –
It is used to apply CSS on multiple pages. As all the styling is written in a different file with an extension “.css” Example style.css.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css"> 
It is written instead head tag. 
For more detailed guide – Click here 
Let’s implement the above learnt concepts – 
In this example will clone a static page of WhatsApp using Internal CSS- 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

Lucy's DDR #1: I Love Dance
My parents and friends think I love to dance. They know without me saying it. In fact, a conversation I had with two NH Medlinks (i.e. my Desmond friend and his H4 friend) went like this:
H4 friend: Oh how do you know (NH4 girl 1) and (NH4 girl 2)? Do you dance? My friend: Does she dance? All she does is dance. H4 friend: Oh cool! Are you in ADT?
Which I found very fonny. No I am not. But alas, for the past two years till now, I have always been dancing, and I really really enjoy it, and I want to get better, and I think I do really love it!
But sometimes, it's hard to love it.
Today I want to talk about a big thing I see in dancers at MIT around me, which is that they have a very stressful relationship with dance. "I might quit all dance next semester," and "The MIT dance community is so toxic," and "I don't know if I want to do <xyz advanced team> next semester or just quit" are phrases I hear often from friends who always end up dancing anywhere from 3-9 hours a week.
They love it, but they hate it. The feelings are so extreme, I think, because dance is a social activity. You make friends, close friends, through dance troupe, ADT, or teams. But with dance, you're also auditioning, getting evaluated and cut, watching yourself side by side with others, being recorded, being talked about, and talking about others. It's a social activity.
And if you start thinking about how good your other peers are compared to you, the deep deep blackhole of dance-is-the-devil is slippery and treacherous. Despite them coming in with more experience, or putting in more hours than you at the expense of grades, sleep, or social life, or having been an athlete before, etc. All of my fellow friends who started dance in college, we've talked about this shared anxiety, but yet. We're all still dancing.
Dance. Dance. Four total semesters now. Why?
My favorite semester ever dance-wise was sophomore fall. Coming back from Korea, where I took a class a week at the famous 1Million and JustJerk dance studios, I was made pretty well aware that MIT was just a spec in the dance world. Thus, I was on my own journey to enjoy the art form and become professional grade good, whether or not MIT's competitive teams wanted me as a dancer did not matter. So, in September, I joined MissBehavior, did a DT dance, and took an MIT Theater dept. class in Hip Hop Dance History and Practice.
McKersin, the lecturer, taught us the history, shared the culture, opened my eyes to the Boston scene. He became the first person ever to tell me... "you need to practice" in an objective but well-meaning way. Previously, choreo workshops and Dance Troupe were fun and good to me, but in the vacuum of no-feedback-ever, I remained convinced that I was great at dancing, and thus was so confused all the time when I got rejected from competitive auditions. Now I was beginning to know.
I practiced freestyle dance and learned choreo from videos on my own, late into the night at BC dance studio. Recording myself, and gritting my teeth as I watched my own recordings. Yuck. Dumpster trash on fire, the stench coming from those videos.
But the way my dance progress became my own? So valuable to me. Thus, I improved.
I'm on a team now, and slightly deeper in the "dance as a social activity" thing both in MIT and the Boston community. Many times, I also struggle. I think I suck, look at that guy who probably only started this year he's so much cleaner than me. And that puts me in the worst bottom of the barrel mood for an entire day. Literally, makes me feel physical pain. But I never hate on dance. It's usually myself that I hate, which is not any better.
I write this on a special day: my first day ever being picked by a choreog in a workshop. You know? As the first subgroup to record? It means you're good. It was an affirmation that I'm doing okay, after a recent wave of self-hatred, actually. Even if I don't hate dance, I struggle a lot with comparing myself, and thinking I'm actually trash and not getting better, which is the root of my friends' problems too. I'm trynna overcome this and share a positive view of dance, like the energy of today's choreographer: it's fun to do and it's safe here.
This post is a reminder to future Lucy that actually, this journey has been one of great memories and progress. So, don't hate yourself, or the art. Be kind to yourself and others. Dance. Dance. Revolution.

To be honest I can't fully remember if I saw H4 all the way through beginning to end...presumably I did, at one point, see all 8 of them (9 and 10 dont count and you cant make me) I am pretty sure...but...there's something so cringe about this one that I just can't bring myself to do it again. H4 to me is what H3 is to other people. It's odd to me that many claim to prefer this one to 3.
Literally aside from Angelique and a smattering of decent Pinhead lines, there's just...nothing about this movie that really grabs me. Pinhead is truly OOC, the plot bores me and it jumps back and forth through time, smugly presuming I will be riveted enough to follow it. It has none of the fun, goofy charm of H3, but all of it's clunky, bizarre cinematography and insistence on making Pinhead look and feel hammy and ridiculous in the closest close ups it can get.
It's a movie that pretends to want to be intelligent and complex, but it also really wants to justify creating some kind of weird fight scene with Pinhead but knows it cant because it would look stupid, so it mostly makes things explode around him while he Big Angy Manly Screams. It just likes to rattle him around like a little angy hamster being shook in a plastic ball. It's so dorky.
I feel like people are so obsessed with seeing "the movie that might have been" in this thing mainly because Doug and Valentina are carrying something that is and always has been broken - in all versions. Every fanfic remake so far has been more competent and engaging than what we have.
This is a movie that is basically insisting on being more about it's own bad lore more than it is about people. It's not really about Angelique's experiences, because it doesn't care much about her and basically throws her out. It's not really about Lemarchand and his descendants, because it breaks the movie into three pieces for that, giving them very little room to thrive in their own right. These characters are all just ingredients in the dish that is the plot.
I actually even think this version of the Lemarchand backstory serves to remove the mystery of the box.
I can't be the only one who thinks the gore in the sequels of this franchise is actually more on the side of ridiculous rather than cool or disturbing.

LOL thanks for the long reply. I disagree on Harry's rising tho. his hair is not curly but messed up, and I dont know as much astrology as you, but i know how certain risings makes me feel. I have North Node scorpio and they have always intrigued me, but Harry never did. Scorpio rising had a certain "lacking and oppressed" inner energy about them even if they are never abused or face pain in life. The way Harry WAS abused and pressured but kinda just knew it and recited it to us and never viewed that as something heavy like it should be. The way people think Harry SHOULD be more traumatised, but he isnt, is the mark of Aquarius rising, and the good things about healthy versions. They make anything negative LOOK lighter because they arent the deeply emotional and tortured Scorpio is. (Harry is but that's his Leo sun)
GINNY is more likely to be Scorpio rising because she had that "being held back" energy earlier when she was shy and always hiding (her h4 Aquarius do talk about Harry at home a lot lol), but later her Leo sun shines in public conjunct her MC, and i have always had a crush on her lol. Hinny is a good couple in their risings.
I spoke to @danpuff-ao3 about this a while ago and basically realised that every single one of us (unless using rectification methods, and even then, it's iffy) has a way of looking at the world, and we're meant to perceive (through the Ascendant, for example, or the other personal placements) the world. While talking to Danni, we shared our findings of Ascendants, but for some reason or the other, we couldn't agree with the other. We laughed and moved on.
I have Scorpio in my 3H (supposed to be my close-knit friend group, and people I can relate to easily). I never properly connected to a Scorpio in my life the way I vibed with Libra, or any other sign. So, above all the Timelord thing with Harry, Uranus (lightning) conjunct his Ascendant, Jupiter conjunct his MC (being seen as lucky), Pisces (enmeshment) 4th house (enmeshed families that stifle individuality and freedom, feeling called to sacrifice when it comes to safety/home), Moon in 4th (comfort from the idea of family), etc, I trusted my gut as well. The same as Danni and you, I experienced Harry differently. I couldn't find it in myself to sympathise with Harry's childhood (while I could understand Severus' and Voldemort's). It made sense that he'd be a Scorpio rising to me.
I haven't yet shed all my biases to say that I've actually rectified these charts with the highest objectivity (eg, my reservation of Aqua rising for bullies 💀). And even if I could, people connect to characters differently so a Character's chart can't ever truly be rectified to fulfillment. So, I ended up using the chart Rowling gave us.
I've never thought about Ginny (besides agreeing that I do ship her with Harry in the Het sense) but awww, you had a crush on her!
Just from their rising? Oh, Aquarius and Scorpio usually make Squares but maybe they share something more harmonious. Actually, even if it squares, it brings more spice.
Speaking of spice, Ginny's Sun and Mercury are almost exactly conjunct with Harry's North Node. Oh yes, she was his destiny, and it was spice. Lol, I already shipped them before but they are cute in compatibility.
If you've noticed (TL;DR), in true mutable fashion, I've let you know that I'm biased towards Aqua risings so MAYBE Harry could be one (he doesn't have weird teeth, though, does he?).

Had a dream last night that was reminiscent to the Halloween film arc involving Michael's niece Jamie (specifically H4 & H5. We don't talk about H6.)
And I guess basically Jamie considered me either one of her close friends or sort of like a sister/aunt type figure so she really liked hanging out with me? Which God if that doesn't make me feel sappy on its own ;w; I adore Jamie a lot tbh.
As expected though, Michael showed up ready to absolutely DESTROY people.
So guess who had to spend most of the dream keeping her safe and not let on to the fact the Murder Uncle was hot on her trail AND mine?
YOU CAN BET YOUR ASS I KEPT HER SAFE THO.
Miraculously. Michael sure tried to get my ass though.

S Chrome Interlude: Chess Player Ch 5
Chapter 5: Chess Player
I shall become “Chrome” who will make use of Smith.
Tumblr media
John: …You certainly have changed, yes.
However, I still have the upper hand with the amount of pieces on my side.
Don’t tell me you plan on ending this match with me with a pointless draw, are you?
Chrome: No.
Chrome looked at the board and closed his eyes as he began to ruminate on their game. He then calmly raised his head and looked at John.
Chrome: I will win this game.
(——)
Tumblr media
—Reverse the difficult situation Black faces.—
(...)
—White’s queen advanced to b7 and captured Black’s pawn—
—White’s queen advanced to a8 and captured Black’s rook—
—Black’s king advanced to d7.—
—Black’s queen advanced to c4.—
Chrome: If I move my king to d7, I can safely defend against White’s fork[1] from their queen.
Even if my rook on a8 would be in a vulnerable position—
The queen on c4 has prevented the opponent from castling[2].
Father would most likely make a countermove by moving his pawn up to f3.
That’s what I should do for now.
—Continue this game of chess.—
—Find a chance to seize victory.—
(...)
—White’s pawn[3] advanced to f3.—
—Black’s bishop advanced to f3 and captured White’s pawn.—
—White’s pawn advanced to f3 and captured Black’s bishop.—
—Black’s knight advanced to d4.—
Chrome: It’s possible for the queen to achieve a checkmate so long as the knight remains in d4.
White may be leading in this game, but it doesn’t mean Black is at a disadvantage.
“There is no time like the present”—
How we see things differ from each other. One of us surely has their focus one or two steps ahead on this chessboard.
—Continue this game of chess.—
(...)
—Continue your offensive attack.—
—White’s pawn advanced to d3.—
—Black’s queen advanced to d3 and captured White’s pawn.—
—White’s pawn advanced to d4 and captured Black’s knight.—
—Black’s bishop advanced to e7—
Chrome: If White advances up to d3 as expected, I can prevent a checkmate…
However, my bishop can only advance up to e7. The threat of both the rook on h8 and the queen on a8 is still looming.
The reason why I didn’t win against Father in the beginning was because all I thought of at that time was how I could “become” a Smith.
However, in order for me to win this game, I have to “exceed” Smith.
I will pave the way for a new path as “Chrome.”
Father… This is the decision I’ve made.
—Continue your offensive attack—
—White’s queen advanced to h8 and captured Black’s rook—
—Black’s bishop advanced to h4—
(——)
Tumblr media
White’s king still hasn’t moved. Black’s bishop at e7 can checkmate White’s king in 2 moves. Both of them foresaw the result of this game of chess.
John: The outcome is already clear. Don’t you agree?
I resign[4].
However… if you had sacrificed your pawns, you could’ve ended this game faster.
Haven’t you thought that you could’ve made a more logical decision on the war’s situation now that you’re a Structure?
Chrome: That factor wasn’t included in my decision.
For machines, those are simply calculations and projections. Objective factors can only be a basis, and every personal principle or emotional state of mind isn’t taken into account when making a decision.
However, I am not a machine.
I will make a decision based on what will come next and what I think about the situation.
John: Do you think you can make me approve of your idea solely with a single win against me?
Chrome: I believe… that this isn’t a meaningless victory.
John hadn’t struck up a conversation with Chrome after he was adopted to become a successor of Smith. Or perhaps his father may have already taught him from the very beginning about the end of Smith— Become a Smith, search for the next Smith, and repeat everything that had been passed down from his progenitor to his successor.
Chrome: I will not become a Smith.
I’ll show you I can go beyond that—
I shall become “Chrome” who will make use of Smith.
“Without ever needing to abandon the past, let alone needing to deny everything that had happened. As Langston Smith, as the top student of FOS Military Academy, as a Structure, and as the Captain of Strike Hawk— All of it was the reason why I became the “Chrome”—who I am today.”
Chrome: The war will end one day.
When that time comes, mankind and Structures will walk together hand-in-hand, in a future where they have come to understand one another.
When you first explained to me what the responsibilities of a “Smith” are, I asked you, “what is the perfect monster?”
Even now, I don’t know what the right answer would be. But I’ve decided to become a bridge that will connect to that answer.
That is why… This is my final decision.
I have no intention of changing my identity as a Structure. Not now, and not in the future.
John: You will face unimaginable turmoil and hardships.
The path you chose is a deep, unfathomable quagmire. Once you’re caught inside it, you would be crushed down to your very core.
Your battles will no longer be only on the battlefield. Have you entirely understood what that means?
Chrome: You’ve always taught me about it—We Smiths do not shirk in the face of predicament, because we act faster than any of the adversities we face.
Chrome from the Strike Hawk Unit wouldn’t step into the deepest area of the combat zone without ample prior preparation.
Because I am your son, after all, Father.
John: ……
Only one Structure from the Gray Raven Unit has managed to successfully adapt to Asimov’s specialized Structure model Project.
I’ve heard that you will have to pay a much bigger price to adapt to that model.
Even ignoring the risks involved, I will accept your choice if you can feasibly adapt to the specialized model. After that, I will not meddle with any of your decisions, just as you’ve wanted.
On the other hand, if you aren’t able to acquire even a new model, you’ll be at a complete point of no return.
Chrome: I understand. I never planned on failing.
Through that specialized model, I will show you my determination and all of what I can achieve now.
John: ……
John briefly looked away from Chrome’s face, which was full of determination, and gazed back at the game of chess they still had yet to end. Just as Chrome held the holographic chess piece, John also took hold of the queen on a8 and placed it down on h8. Black’s movement routes were completely open. Without any small threats in its way, Black can perfectly checkmate White. Chrome saw how surprised John was. He then carefully looked at the chessboard and suppressed the emotions that were showing in his eyes. He held Black’s bishop and advanced to h8. Checkmate[5]. He stood up from the chair he sat on and solemnly bowed to the person before him.
Chrome: As Chrome, I am thankful for your guidance.
For a moment, John was engrossed in his thoughts as he kept staring at the chessboard. The dignified air he had put up for the longest time seemed to ease up for a brief moment.
Fork is a tactic used in chess where one piece has the option of two or more opposing pieces at the same time.
Castling is a special move where it is the only move where you can move two pieces at the same time, as well as the only time the King could move more than one square.
In the original dialogue (both in JP and CN), there is no piece specified in this particular part—usually in algebraic chess notation, every piece is denounced by a capital letter except for pawn, which has no letter. Since this is an exact copy of a game that happened in real life however, it's confirmed that this moving piece is, indeed, a pawn. Many thanks to my lovely proofer for this small tidbit.
Resignation is an etiquette where the forfeiting player would stop the clock and shake their opponents hand, indicating they no longer wish to continue the game. Interestingly enough, John and Chrome continued all the way to checkmate even if the former already declared resign.
The game that transpired between Chrome and John in this chapter is an exact copy of the exhibition game between Rodzynski and Alexander Alekhine in Paris, 1913. Again, many thanks to my proofer for pointing that out.

Hey rose 🥀
This is sort of weird and I may come off as a horrible person but I’ve really been trying hard in college but my friend who barely does anything seems to get by so easy. I had to give her credit on my literature paper ( she didn’t do anything in it)which was well appreciated but now the prof thinks she wrote it . I’ve also been trying hard to get this prof to like me since he’ll be taking my minor course but will he? He seems to hate me/ignore me I feel. What are your thoughts on this matter( about the prof)?
22/01/22,11:39pm , Chandigarh
Seems to me like your professor doesn't really like you, perhaps because he thinks you're the one cheating or not doing the work (Venus is in the detriment of Mercury, and Capricorn is ruled by Saturn which is in the 4th house of the end of the matter/grades in a more abstract way). He actually really likes your personality though, and seeing the aspects and the receptions, I think he'll actually like you more soon. So don't sweat it too much.
Also, your friend doesn't actually seem to be in a good place so perhaps that's why she's not doing what she's supposed to do. The sun (she) is in her detriment (Aquarius) and conjunct Mercury (prof) which basically means she is trying to make sure the professor doesn't notice her doing bad. The sun essentially has that effect when it's close to a planet, in this case it's within 8° Mercury is combust. This means he can't really tell she's doing badly, because she puts on a facade of being a very good student. I hope that makes sense, and I hope the situation has improved!
Tumblr media
You get Venus and the moon.
Venus/11°58 Cap/h3/term of Jupiter/face of Mars/triplicity of the moon and Mars/out of sect/retrograde
Moon/27°52 Virgo/h12/term of Mars/face of Mercury/own triplicity + Mars
Your friend gets the sun (L11).
Sun/2°41 Aquarius detriment/h4/term of Mercury/face of Venus/triplicity of Mercury and Jupiter
The professor is Mercury (L9).
Mercury/4°14 Aquarius/h4/own term/face of Venus/own triplicity + Jupiter
Receptions:
Venus is in the detriment of Mercury. Venus receives Mercury by face.
Mercury receives/exalts the moon. Mercury receives the moon by face.
Mercury receives the sun in his term and triplicity.
Aspects:
Moon trine Mercury 6°A.
Mercury conjunct sun 2°A.
