A Short, Yet Overdue, Heaven's Design Team Headcanon Post

Feel free to use this as inspiration or whatever- just like reblog or credit me or whatever-

(Ok I only watched one episode recently so some characters might not have many new head canons but, since this is The Selling Point of my blog and I like making these posts, there will be more for all characters in the future)

(also how dare the wiki say that Saturn's obsession with horses is "somewhat annoying" I would say I would fight God but God is amazing in the HDT universe so I'll go punch the ocean or something idk)

Mars and Mercury have designed and created a death ray. Motivation: because they wanted to see if they could do it

Saturn is everyone's honorary grandfather. No exceptions.

Shimoda has little tiny horns under his hair from his original Mr Progress design

Speaking of other non-human traits: Mercury is cold blooded and is required to lay out in the early sun before going into work or else he sleeps all day

There is a whole world of "humans" in heaven (like the festival in the alien episode.. were they on earth? in another realm? Besides Kenta has parents... idk I might make a post on my theories on this)

Venus probably had a goth phase but couldn't keep with the black/white color pallet for very long

God has a phone that directly wired to Shimoda. Sometimes he has him get door dash for him.

Saturn has two moods: horse and alien

Neptune is so buff so he can protect the soft animals he designs

Sometimes the team makes up outrageous designs just to make Mars mad. Sometimes God accepts these crazy designs and that's why we got those pigs that end up impaling themselves with their teeth. Good job Pluto and Jupiter

Someone (Venus) was angry at Mercury and established the Smart Anime Glasses trope on earth

Pluto spends a lot of her free time in the Insect Lab and lends the Insect Dudes inspiration, which they frequently use

Saturn sometimes walks around with a random alien prototype

MY FIRST SENTENCE IS ALREADY A HUGE-ASS SPOILER, SO SIMPLY SCROLL THROUGH THIS POST IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN VERONICA MARS SEASON 4 YET (AND YOU PLAN TO WATCH IT).

I feel like I’m alone in this, but I’m not pissed about Logan’s death the most. It’s bullshit, yes, especially with Rob Thomas’ reasoning, but as much as I enjoyed a lot of things in this season (and honestly I did), boy, did they drop the ball for me on LoVe much earlier... But more on that later.

The ending and our segue way into the highly likely season 5 is that Veronica always gets back up… Alright.

We already saw that though.

How about showing Veronica actually learning to enjoy the life that comes after getting back up? How about delving into why she said no to Logan in episode 1? How about acknowledging that she was constantly mocking “Therapy Logan” and explaining why exactly she was? How about writing an interesting, IC character arc for the main character? You want to move away from the teen soap, Rob? Writing difficult emotional situations where everything isn’t black and white, death or survival, this guy or that guy, is the way to achieve that.

The sad thing is that the interesting character arc and an actually IC, adult (!) relationship drama between Veronica and Logan was right in front of Rob Thomas. But no, we had to have the Leo love triangle, a sex dream and a near death experience for Veronica to realize that she wants Logan… And I’m sorry, WHAT. This is supposed to be a revelation? We already knew Veronica loved and wanted Logan. (That’s why love triangles stopped working after season 2, just saying.) And it wasn’t even why Veronica said no in episode 1 in the first place. She told Logan why she was saying no, so why not examining her actual reasoning instead of creating new, bullshit ones?

We had to revisit the dilemma about what Veronica really wanted. I’m sorry, wasn’t this the very thing we had a whole movie about? The life Veronica is supposed to have (being a big-shot lawyer in New York and being with the ever-stable and trustworthy Piz) vs. the life Veronica actually wanted (living in the corrupt Neptune as a poor PI, and getting back together with her ex)? Did I only dream that? Aren’t we already past this? So why include Veronica doubting her choices… again? And more importantly, why include it but never asking what exactly she doubts?

We also had to have Veronica mocking Logan for trying to get better. We had to see Veronica missing some violent, damaged version of Logan, when we had watched her for three seasons, quite rightfully, never putting up with that Logan. (Season 2 episode 1 break-up, anyone?) Veronica did not fall in love with the self-destructing Logan, she fell in love with the Logan who was maturing, trying, who was caring, hot-headed sometimes, yes (he still was in season 4 by the way), but never someone who actually scared Veronica. We brushed aside the whole episode 2 sex scene and cabinet breaking without ever properly acknowledging how fucking cruel it was of Veronica to do something like that. And the worst of all, we never got any explanation for why Veronica was acting the way she was.

I mentioned earlier the character arc and IC, adult relationship drama that imo should have been in the season instead of… whatever it was that we got. For me Veronica’s ‘no’, her dismissal of Wallace’s family life, her doubts, all the mocking directed at “Therapy Logan” boils down to this: Veronica, simply put, was afraid. She knew self-destruction, violence, fighting against odds, loved ones leaving, loved ones dying, etc., she already knew how to deal with those, but happiness, marriage… Veronica wanted those, ofc, but was afraid of wanting them. She saw how easily she can lose those things. She was afraid of being happy, being certain and content, because she was so afraid of losing the things that made her happy, content, etc. So in true Veronica fashion, she tried to destroy them (you know, instead of listening to Logan, and ask for help from a therapist and learn how to let herself be happy).

Am I the only one who thinks that this would have been a much better (or not even necessarily better, but at least existing) character arc for Veronica?

Because sure, moving past a trauma and earning happiness is an exciting story, but what about learning to enjoy that happiness, to not letting the trauma color every major choice you make in your life?

In my ideal season 4, the cabinet punching would have been the culmination, and Logan, while never denying that he loved and would always love Veronica, would have put his mental health first (because he was fighting so hard for it between season 3 and the movie and still now in season 4) and would have fucking left. (I know, sorry, but that conflict was so much bigger than the writing pretended it was.) And Veronica would have been forced to actually think about her emotional baggage, fears and doubts that had nothing to do with Logan. Quite honestly, it’s a little insulting to Veronica’s journey that the later episodes, especially the whole Leo storyline, but even having Veronica go to therapy only because of Logan’s death, framed like they were ever about Logan.

Keith’s struggles with memory loss would have fitted into this narrative perfectly, too, just like the bombings. Because finding happiness past traumas isn’t about forgetting and erasing the bad things, it’s saying that yes, bad things can happen, it’s remembering that they already happened, acknowledging that happiness can be ruined any moment, and still not being afraid of happiness but choosing it and choosing to enjoy it. How is that for adult storytelling?

WEEKLY FIC ROUND UP

All of these fics were provided courtesy of some friends of vmficrecs: Elise, Kris (@rogue-rook) , Maddie, and Shelby (@jessicajoned)!

Previously on VM Fic Recs:

ShanghaiLily, “Follow the MacGuffin,” T, Post-series AU

After a botched FBI case sends Veronica scrambling back to Neptune, she decides to lick her wounds while working at Mars Investigations. What starts out as a simple cheating spouse case for one of the city’s most notorious residents, quickly goes awry and triggers a series of events that unravel a twisted plot leading her to the last person she’d expect to find.

bryrosea, “Stay With Me Series,” M, Post-series AU

An unexpected emergency brings Veronica back to California a little earlier than planned. AU, set about two years before the timeline of the movie.

nevertothethird, “Reunions,” T, Post-series AU

Sometimes it just takes a little longer to get things right. Two high school reunions and a birthday party should do the trick.

Shelby’s Note: SUZANNE i'm convinced she wrote this just for me even though we didn’t know each other when it was published but mmmm logan/wallace friendship? yes please. drama? pining? dancing? gimme it ALL. one of my fav versions of logan thank you so much

My Note: SUZANNNNNNNNNEEEEE

youcallitwinter, “i knew you were trouble when you walked in,” E, Post season three AU

And, it’s just— Logan had always been her intense high-school romance, sure. But she had, somewhere along the way, in some secret corner of her mind, convinced herself that was all he was; a high-school romance. Explosive, powerful, passionate, and bound to burn itself out eventually.

anjou, “Into the Blue,” M, Post season one AU

It’s almost summer, and Logan is sinking into the blue.

Note: This note is purely technical. Not only does this fic link to the imkait lovecember links of death, but THEN if you manage to get routed correctly over to that list, the link Kait has posted on the original recommendation is a deadlink, just to keep all of us on our toes. THIS is the correct link. Also god bless this fic thanks. This was recc’d by Kris for todays post but ummM when Logan tells Mrs. Narvarro to tell Veronica when she calls that he needs to do whatever for a while and then Veronica cries on the phone and Mrs. Navarro is mad at Logan for like four chapters after?? BEAUTIFUL. Also oh god. There’s another element to this fic that is sheer beauty and I’m hoping y’all can hivemind with me and figure out which bit I’m talking about because!!!!! y’all.

wily_one24, Molasses and Taffy, PG-13, Season 2

No matter how bad things get, they always said, it could always get worse.

Kris’s Note: This one is kinda dark but I really like that it explores the fallout that must have happened after the s2 finale. i like fics where dick has to acknowledge his bad behavior and this one has that even if it's p hard to read at some points.

A Season 2 Fix-it fic. Elise’s Notes: I really like that it includes Logan developing some great friendships with other VM characters, particularly Jackie and Weevil.

Scorpio & Pisces: Two Sides of the Same Coin

I’ve said before that if I wasn’t my own sign (Pisces) I’d rather be either a Scorpio or Sagittarius. This post will be similar to my Virgo/Scorpio sexuality post instead focusing on Scorpio and Pisces and their similarities. Part of this is because 1) my boyfriend has a Scorpio rising; 2) my father is a Scorpio Sun, Mercury, and Venus MC; 3) my mother has Taurus-Scorpio duplicated; 4) I’m part of the Pluto in Scorpio generation; and 5) because of one of my favourite astrologers crimson deep astrology. It doesn’t hurt that as far as I know there’s no other Music Astrology blogs on here, that Crimsondeep (Tarja reference) is a Scorpio herself, and that I’m a Pisces. (BTW, thanks for the graphics inspiration.)

Scorpio and Pisces are often considered the most misunderstood signs with good reason; other than Gemini you never know what to expect with the latter water signs. Part of this is because their represented by multiple animals. Scorpio by the scorpion, snake, and phoenix (also caterpillar, chrysalis, and butterfly); and Pisces by the fish, chameleon, and wolf. The first animals of each sign are the lower vibrations of their potential with the final animal their realized potential. Although this explanation is simplistic the middle animal is the connection of the signs. Snakes aren’t all venomous with some of them that love their fellow reptilian families. (Harmonia’s Necklace was in the design of two entwined snakes.) Wolves aren’t inherently solitary and form tight bonds with those in their pack. The Snake and Wolf are highly creative and passionate they just need to create a balance within themselves though.

The words I associate with these signs are transcendence, transgression, transformation, and reflection primarily because of their planets and houses. Eighth house is sex, death, shared resources, and security; twelfth house is the tale’s ending, rest and recuperation. (A lot of this is because Taurus and Virgo are their opposite signs since they already have security and comfort in abundance; the water signs need to learn these lessons on their own.) Pisces and Scorpio in this case are the character types where their houses are settings – the planets would be the lessons or plot. Now why do those four words describe these signs?

Pluto rules both of them: it is Pisces’ esoteric ruler and Scorpio’s modern ruler. Pluto is the transgression and transcendence. Scorpio is momento mori, aka “remember that you will die” you cannot escape death. You kill your darlings to better your story and to better yourself. Pisces is the end because it takes that message and says, “Yes, you rise and fall. Yes, death is inevitable. However the story goes on and repeats again. Though we don’t know how life continues.” You don’t have to believe in an afterlife but you know that after you’re dead the world keeps going. Neptune, which is Pisces’ modern ruler, is about breaking boundaries then merging the line that separates reality from illusion. I compare Neptune to cinema: when watching the film we want to become part of the story and if done well forget our reality. Yet Neptune is also what goes on behind the curtain, seeing how the trick’s performed. Example: I’ve always hated Sleeping Beauty but I would suffer through it just to watch the behind-the-scenes at the end of the tape. We also need to consider the other planets that are strengthened in these signs.

Venus is exalted in Pisces while detrimented in Scorpio whereas the latter is dignified in Mars and does adequately in Pisces. Venus Pisces is agape love, an endless love. What comes to my mind is Nightwish’s ‘Shudder before the Beautiful,’ “Deep silence between the note/deafens me with endless love.” Scorpio Mars is similar it is Eros and is passionate but also patient unlike an Aries Mars. In a relationship – doesn’t matter if it’s friendship, familial, romantic, or sexual – these signs are very in tuned to their partner. They actually are quite open and open-minded however they need trust in order for them to show this side of themselves. Scorpions aren’t sex addicts or evil, sometimes they might come across as prudes, but they’re obsessive, for wont of a better word, over good sex – same with Pisces. Both want the petite-mort-I-Just-Died-In-Your-Arms-Tonight sex. It’s their way of letting down their guard with those deserving of them. Overall, not matter the relationship TRUST IS ESSENTIAL to them.

Yet Venus and Mars isn’t just romance, sex, and what kind of partner we desire; Venus is our hobbies, our loves, and Mars is our passions and how we get what we want. Scorpio and Pisces in these planets are typically interested in occult hidden things. Like I mentioned earlier these signs love seeing what is underground. Scorpio is surveying the Underworlds while Pisces is discovering Atlantis and learning Atlantian ways. Pisces are fond of aesthetics and anything auditory pleasing; many artists, muscians, and performers are found with Piscean placements. Scorpios are fond of these things to but they’re the Casablanca version, they’re the Bronte sisters’ stories. People with Scorpion placements tend to love the paranormal and psychology; they love finding out what makes someone tick.

In terms of appearance these signs are average or short height, both have penetrating eyes, and typically have dark hair. All of this depends on genetics though. Pisces women may be short with small feet with Pisces men being average, tall, and big feet. Yet Rhianna and Floor Jansen are tall Pisces women, and I myself am quite tall at 5’9 (cm). Scorpios have a Rock Star look and usually prefer edgy clothes and makeup. They are the smoke-y eye look. Pisces are the modern fairytale, runaway look. (Look at SmoonStyle or Drew Barrymore.) With hairstyles if neither sign is rocking straight hair they’ll either choose the wavy or curly locks. Many Scorpios I’ve seen may have curly hair whereas Pisces have more wavy hair.

Songs for These Water Signs:

Being Everyone – After Forever (Pisces)

… And Their Eulogies Sing Me to Sleep – The Agonist (Pisces)

Transmigration Macabre – Arch Enemy (Scorpio)

Weak Fantasy – Nightwish (Scorpio)

Wild Card – ReVamp (Both)

The World is Yours – Arch Enemy (Both)

Angela Gossow – Scorpio Sun (November Scorpio) Floor Jansen – Pisces Sun (February Pisces)
