Oh to be a spectacularly beautiful bride-to-be in 19th century South America, with nearly mermaid like features—ivory skin and green hair. To pass the days embroidering wild beasts that defy the laws of nature and aerodynamics on the longest tablecloth in the world. To turn heads as I walk down the street, to be bathed in beams of light from the stain-glassed windows in mass. Completely unaware of my beauty. Awaiting my fiancé seeking his fortune in the Atacama desert, picturing him on unrealistic adventures in steel-toed boots. Watching my younger sister, accompanied by her dog the size of a horse, communicate with the spirits of the dead and move salt cellars across the table with her mind.

Slightly less mean (but longer) rephrasing of my text post from yesterday: I think having a girlfriend is the best because it's a girl who is your friend and you can do "friend" things with her. Yeah, you two can also have sex, which is super fun, but it's secondary to your friendship and sometimes not even necessary. I think the ability to have sex with someone is nothing special—sure enough, if I'm to trust the Internet about it, everyone wants to do it and is doing it all the time. You all can't stop bragging about it! What I read decidedly less about is people being friends with their partners. How come nobody is shouting about that from the rooftops? Is it because happy people leave no history? Is it because you're all too embarrassed? Or is it because all you can get out of your intimate relationships is a couple of orgasms and not actual love?
Is that what you really want? Would you really prefer the former over the latter, if both were offered to you? Is everyone's mind so clouded by being single and touch deprived that all you can think about is someone handling your body? I've been with the same person since I was a teenager for about a decade and a half, and I've never felt that pain, so I genuinely don't get it. Like Blanca says, in relation to her love for Pedro Tercero in Allende's House of the Spirits, she cannot comprehend the other girls' suffering, the horrible pangs of longing that they feel for their dream boys in school, not when she's had what they've all wanted since she was 13.
I think this kind of urge, wanting to love someone but not getting it, this kind of urge, if not fulfilled, gets corrupted into just wanting sex as a proxy for true intimacy. I like to think everyone used to be a romantic at one point in their life before their hopes got disappointed, sometimes to such a pitch that they swore off trying to love someone for the rest of their lives. Then their intimate lives become a string of short relationships, casual sex and trying every kink under the sun just to feel something. Hey, if the person you're currently with shares your kink, you might even pretend that you've made something more than what is unfortunately, in most cases, just a superficial connection!
If I weren't disabled now and could still draw pain-free, I'd have half a mind to just go balls to the wall with my artistic output, I'd dramatize the relationship with my partner in comic form, I'd demonstrate by example, I'd show you how good you all could have it, you know, man, the Pop Team Epic lifestyle! but alas! Perhaps even if I could do that, even if I did do that, you still wouldn't get it.
And really, would I care to do it for you? All you do all day is reblog horny mousegirls with fat tits and you dare to imply, by the magnitude of your posting output, that yours is the life to live. The life of longing, rather than the life of having. You dare propagandize to me without my consent, you dare imply that I am the two-bit loser for not wanting to stick it into every vaguely hot person on the street, you spit on fidelity because you've never experienced it. Even worse, if you do love somebody in your life, you still feel like you need to fit in with the crowd of horny people around your age, you're performatively sexually available in order to be socially acceptable. How spineless. Yeah, you assholes. This is about me being better than you! And how I'm targeted for it! I am beset by enemies on all sides!! I'm basically just like a Dostoevsky protagonist!!! ahahaha
okay, sorry for posting lesbian screeds on main. you knowwww....... but, you know. :) all i can do on this earth is put out a kind of energy—love, care and infinite kindness—into my art, the kind of energy I think deserves to be represented more in pictures. I suppose I've been unconsciously doing it for a long time already, well I guess this is my manifesto that I'll keep at it, going forward. Miss me with that capitalist shit of selling cheap facsimiles depicting soulless sex to the young, lonely and desperate. i refuse to engage in it, it's irresponsible to my fellow travellers on earth.
peace, if you have a friend, kiss them on the cheek today :>

🎸Mars Energy🎸
⚡️Mars is a powerful figure in mythology. Mars on me represents the principle factor, the energy we need to make us encourages to action. It gets us out of bed every morning and helps us achieve our goals throughout the day. It is also our representation of masculinity, as Venus is our representation of femininity. Both men and women need a well-functioning Mars to feel that we are powerful and that we have life in our hands. Mars needs challenges, and not just in battle or dispute, but also in physical activities, such as competitive games and sports or any field, at with which we can flex our muscles and compete with others to win. Like Venus, Mars is also associated with the sexual attraction and sexual relations, and both planets they reveal us approach to sexuality and courtship. In this, Mars especially delights in pursuit and conquest.
⚡️Unlike Venus, it is not relationship-oriented and can lose interest as soon as it conquers an object/person. Unless he runs into competitors then he starts fighting. The energy of Mars indicates how we behave and react. How we compete, how we win someone over and what our charm is. Mars shows how we keep our vibrancy and energy alive. The position of Mars in the chart shows our way of pursuing (the object & person we want). Mars is an indicator of what kind of men, and Venus, what kind of women we get involved with. Although many times relationships are influenced by both.
Mars is known for its lust for dominance, but it can be overbearing and tempting to impose one's will on others. Mars represents our primal passions, inclusive with anger. But Mars can also get you in trouble sometimes. It is important to release our anger. This is very important for our health, because we can get seriously ill if we suppress these energies. Suppressing anger is a matter of course associated with health problems such as stress and depression. The ability to exercise our will and achieve what we want is a talent in itself that we have to learn. After a period of learning from mistakes we start in our thirties and forties after we tend to use Mars more skillfully to our advantage.
🎡Aries Mars is particularly monotonous, spontaneous and quick to act according to his will. It can also catch fire spontaneously,and explosive moments are followed by calm ones, because anger usually does not last long. You have a fiery and strong approach to your desires. Usually when you want something you want to get it by any means. When it comes to competition, you are very competitive and forget about others. You put more emphasis on physical pleasure.
🦋Scorpio Mars has a strong will, but he has more control over the planning and execution of his actions, so he is more precise and efficient. Mars in Scorpio is usually expressed with the words and emotions, and less with fighting. Sexual expression is important for both signs, but Mars in Scorpio loves more emotionally. When it comes to love, he becomes very self-sacrificing. He will do anything for the person he loves. But when he is deceived, he can become your worst enemy. He is intense, passionate, combative and persistent, but his energy only shows when he really feels someone.
🧁Mars in mutable watery Pisces will be rather gentle and passive and will find it difficult to express itself decisively. He may hold back his anger so as not to upset others, and he may act less directly, he may even act like a victim to make others feel guilty and let us get our way. But many times you can make emotional sacrifices for other people or give them too much and then you are disappointed. Mars in Pisces is at its best when alone. You can isolate yourself a lot from other people.
🥨Mars in an earth sign, such as fixed Taurus, can be very calm and slow to respond, but with slow and patient steps he advances towards what he wants. Like a bull, it can be charged with enormous energy and charge at an attacker when angered or threatened. Mars in Taurus can also be very passionate and lustful, which makes him an emperor an exquisite and extremely patient lover.
✨Capricorn mars tends to be very competitive when it comes to business, success, money, reputation. You will want to achieve the biggest and be the best. When it comes to love, they can be quite cold sometimes. Many times they can put the business before the person. Their anger is usually not expressed, many times they keep it inside. Their nature is not so much focused on several things but on only one. It's the same in love - you like to invest in someone who seems stable and worth your time. They are not people who like to go on dates.
☁️Cancer Mars they have a very emotional response to things around them. You can hurt them quickly. They like to invest their time in their family, people close to them. They don't like average relationships. Many times their energy is emotional. Their anger is responsive in many ways but can also change quickly. They are a sign that can quickly forgive (even if it doesn't seem like it at first). They love stalking people. And when they want something, they will go anywhere to get it. They can do some pretty crazy stuff.
🥤Virgo Mars show practicality, decision-making and thinking. They know how to work hard for what they want if their desire is very strong. They put a lot of emphasis on hygiene, health, routine and lifestyle. They tend to dislike people who smoke or have strange habits. Many times they notice little things in people. They devote a lot of energy to staying in good health, but that's precisely why they can get sick. Because they can deal with it too much.
🥊Sagittarius Mars their energy is manifested through the will to live. They are the people who will always make you smile and make you feel that there is only one life and you can make the most of it. Spontaneous people and many times make an impulsive decision, which many times turns out to be good. They laugh a lot and are optimistic. They give a lot of energy to travel, spirituality, playfulness, learning, new things. Their approach is often optimistic, although they can have a lot of anger behind it. However, since this is a fiery sign, they can be impulsive, react violently, directly, rudely. They are tough opponents and when they set a goal they will achieve it. They can be very competitive when it comes to something they are passionate about. Or when it comes to a person who means a lot to them. They are not afraid to confront people and will always want quick actions and reactions. They almost never get sick, but that's because they are optimists.
🪂Leo Mars their energy is manifested through a passion for playfulness, childhood, fun. They put a lot of effort into having fun and enjoying the things they love. They have many hobbies. They can be possessive and jealous, but they won't show it right away. A lot depends on the energy they want to feel with the person. When they notice that the person they want has fans, they will become even more competitive. They will be most competitive in sports or love. Many times they will want to conquer you with their dominance. They are not afraid of challenges and will step into them without fear if they are mature enough. They are fighting and persistent in themselves. Actions count for them.
🎢Gemini Mars their energy is very mutable. They are all over the place most of their time. And they need a lot of change but they are most good with words than actions. They will talk much more than actually do. They can be very unstable and change their mind many times. They will often compete when it comes to verbal duels. Even at school, they know how to compete. Their health fluctuates because they can become quite anxious at times or think too much about things they cannot change. They can seduce you with mind games.
🫧Libra Mars their energy usually shows through the relationships but can be different kind of relationship it doesn't meant to be like romantic relationship. It can be friendships. If they are not in a relationship, they can give a lot of their energy to their friends. Their anger is usually passive aggressive. They often avoid conflicts because they like peace. Their passive aggressive behavior can lead to them getting sick (because they keep too much anger inside). It is good for them to express their feelings and anger as much as possible.
⛸️Aquarius Mars their energy is focused on humanitarian matters (they like to help others), dreams, goals, social networks. They like to do the things they like. They also like to be alone. They have rebellious kind of anger so they will fight for the rights or people they love or things that are connected to them. But they are not people who fight about I don't know some random stuff. They have the unique way how to seduce people and it's always different. They can also seduce you with their uniqueness or something about that is so different and this is why people are attracted to them somehow. They can work a lot on staying in shape and following themselves. Because they can get sick unexpectedly. Many times the diseases are very strange.

Ok, so I’m imagining that if Watcher HQ is a house… Mystery Files takes place in the basement, the Ghost Files boo bunker is hundreds of feet below that. THEN that means Worth a Shot and Dish Granted are on the main level, Puppet History is in the attic, and Too Many Spirits is in the backyard.
