The whole transandrophobia discussion thing is weird bc it feels like it's a bunch of poc and jewish trans people being like "here are my experiences of how specifically being MASCULINE had affected me, and the discrimination and violence I experienced based on that. And here is how that relates to me being a racial/ethnic minority"

And then a few loud white trans people going "ohhh you wanna be oppressed so bad you *slur*. This is why there aren't any poc in your movement it's because REAL poc understand intersectionality"

#hot take white culturally christian or athiest leftests do not properly interpret white jewish ppl #like as a poc i and other poc understand that white jewish ppl often get racial privilege #but a) not always b) they experience oppression based off of their ethnicity #idk from my perspective it seems like white goyim either see jewish ppl as 'the disgusting exotic enemy' or 'basically WASPS but they #wanna feel special' #with no nuance. no recognition #look maybe this next part is bc i didnt grow up with jewish ppl and therefore didnt know until I was 18/19 that jewish ppl can count as #white. but like. idk how to say this. i dont wanna speak over white jewish ppl. but like. #jewish ppl that have obvious jewish features (whether Ashkenazi facial features OR they dont have those but wear eg kippahs) #arent like. white. idk pls correct me if this is antisemitic or incorrect or something. #but like. light skinned =/= white obviously. #i just struggle to see how my bestfriend with her lovely dark eyes and curls and nice nose counts as 'white' when ppl call her the k slur #across the street. ykwim? #like white doesnt mean light skinned. it means 'part of the in-group of white ppl' #like my ex who is white and jewish? yeah hes white. if he didnt wear his necklace then goyim wouldnt know. you know #like obvs he still experiences ethnic oppression but he doesnt experience racial oppression #but other ppl with more prominent eg ashkenazi (im singling them out bc most jewish ppl here are ash.) like i dont GET how they have racial #privilege.

I want to introduce a disability concept that I've been calling paradoxical stigma.

What is paradoxical stigma? It's the stigma against:

1) The actually disabling traits of a disability that's in the spotlight for the parts of it that are convenient to accommodate, and/or

2) The diagnosis of such a disability itself,

Due to the assumption that the spotlight renders it "destigmatized" and no longer in need of support.

As of right now, at least around this corner of the internet, the most obvious examples of this are autism and ADHD. It's become disturbingly common for people to treat those like Diet Disabilities That Don't Actually Count. It's been really interesting to watch the popular attitude about these disorders shift from "autism is either a tragedy or an excuse depending on 'severity', and ADHD is just a myth used to drug kids into complicity instead of teaching them actual skills", to "actually these are real disorders that affect people in all aspects of their lives", to "I GUESS they're real disorders but honestly EVERYONE has them can't we worry about more SERIOUS ones?" and...not in a good way.

It comes up...partially as a legitimate backlash to people with these disorders who think that invisible disability and/or neurodivergence begins and ends at their experience, and...yeah, that's a problem all right, in fact if I had a dollar for every asshole who looked at my struggles with things like keeping my space clean or not fucking up my medication doses DUE TO ADHD and went "well I have the same diagnosis and I don't have THAT problem to THAT extent, obviously you're just lazy and careless", or saw me having an AUTISTIC meltdown and called it "bullying" or worse because I get loud and insisted that I NEED to CONTROL that CHOSEN BEHAVIOR if I want to not be a Bad Person, or heard about how AUTISTIC overstimulation defense measures play into my trouble with cleaning and insisted that well THEY'RE autistic too and don't have that specific problem so this is clearly weaponized helplessness because I just don't WANT to learn to do better, I'd...probably have a lot more assistive tech. I also get really, really frustrated and upset when people use RSD to mean "if you ever criticize me that's the height of ableism, no matter how much I'm actually fucking up and hurting you" - especially since it's so often invoked as a defense against being lightly criticized for ACTUALLY harmful behavior and as much as it sucks there IS no substitute to make that more emotional-dysregulation-friendly beyond basic kindness in criticism. That attitude exists. It's bad.

And yet, theoretically, I think we could all agree that the response to that should NEVER be to reinvent the old "ugh, those aren't REAL disabilities, those are just EXCUSES that LAZY PARENTS make for kids being kids, what they need is DISCIPLINE" stereotype of the 90s-2000s, just now aimed at those same kids as adults, in ostensibly supportive spaces - or arguably worse, to revert all our understanding of support needs to the externally judged high-functioning/low-functioning dichotomy.

What really sets this apart as paradoxical stigma, rather than just garden-variety lateral ableism, is that 1) we CAN theoretically all agree that reinventing those stereotypes is a terrible response, yet many people do it anyway, and 2) these stereotypes are invoked not only because of that intracommunity misbehavior, but both within and outside of disabled spaces, because of the illusion that you can bring up those disorders and have them taken seriously because fidget toys and stim videos and weighted blankets are popular now. An event having quiet rooms, or backlash to Autism Speaks being visible outside of autistic spaces, will be taken as "proof" that autism stigma is over forever and anyone who complains about it is just a whiner who doesn't know how good they have it...even when what they're complaining about is, say, being barred from migration. Paradoxical stigma is enacted by people who think that they, alone, are standing up against someone who's throwing others under the bus to continue to progress their own limited agenda...when in fact they're speaking a very popular shitty opinion, that MANY of the people making that claim would disagree with HEAVILY once separated from the "crab bucket reflex".

As a personal example, the result is that when I'm looking for assistance, I'm...hesitant to bring up those diagnoses, because I know I'm going to be written off as "obviously a high-functioning low-support needs scammer who just doesn't WANT to CONTRIBUTE TO SOCIETY and EARN things" - even by people who otherwise agree that people should be allowed to survive even if they truly are the living strawman lazy bum who has nothing wrong with them but just WANTS to lay around eating junk food and doing drugs all day, AND that disability deserves to be respected, isn't black-and-white, and affects everyone differently; somehow when these combine in the context of my diagnoses that have had a very sanitized version of themselves "destigmatized" on TikTok, they cancel out into blatant reactionary sentiment indistinguishable from what I'd hear from my shitty token Republican uncle.

So, that's paradoxical stigma. Feel free to use the term if you find it useful.

#disability #serious tag #and yes it is applicable to issues other than disability #if youre seeing parallels to this in how same-sex marriage passing nationwide in the us #was the beginning of a big downswing in support for queer rights because what ELSE could these entitled freaks POSSIBLY want #you are correct! they are VERY closely related! not quite identical because it wasnt almost equally intense within the community as outside #but i wouldnt call you wrong if you wanted to use the same term! #speaking of bringing back the high-functioning/low-functioning dichotomy - it is NOT lost on me #just how many people dont take me seriously as a Real Autist because im usually ''well-spoken'' #therefore i CLEARLY cant have support needs that are hard to aestheticize right??? #as if that kind of misconception isnt EXACTLY WHY we moved away from functioning labels in favor of discussing support needs

relistening to HtN rn and it really hits me how many moments of fun and hooting/hollaring there were in both GtN and HtN (even desite the latter's overcurrent of grief&disorientation) and how... absent those feelings were (in me as a reader) throughout NtN. like..... comparing the pure rush of Gideon returning in HtN, vs the uncomfortable, uneasy, uncanny valley feeling of first seeing Kiriona in NtN. the elation at realizing the narrator in HtN was Gideon, and the... dread? sadness? grief? of Nona realizing she's Alecto. GtN's "go loud" and its victory versus NtN's "go loud" and its grief (again) and weight.

#idk idk. ive read nona like 2.5 x now not counting rereading small parts for reference and im just....... @ tor books this book is SAD!!!! #it's sad in a way that is so fucking desolate #and i think maybe bc it was split off alecto and therefore doesnt have its conclusion #or maybe bc this series is Supposed To Be like this and i just dont get it or w/e #the vibes reminded me deeply of the red rising series ngl. #anyway again not a complaint just like observation on the tonal shift and thinking about #what that means for AtN #ntn spoilers #trb.txt #tlt thoughts #sighs. as always worried about if i am enjoying things in the Correct Way or not. ntn is a masterwork of XYZ literary things im not #learned enough to articulate but idk. etc etc etc #and not to say there werent funny parts obviously but the general vibe was brutal #still thinking about it all.......

[skunkes]

finally found a better way to word my issues with art improvement and thats that obviously art with no ref is/can be a little incorrect and misguided, there are Mistakes when you're just going off of memory.

But when i do studies my art becomes too Rigid because my brain remembers the studies and yells at me if i dont proportion things "correctly" (+ also ends up Bad due to overworking to "Fix" it)...

Its hawrd to find that balance, + have it be the Loose and Fun art that comes before reminding self what something is "supposed to look like". I feel my stuff only exists between extreme ends of sloppy and rigid bc i cant find the balance

Ive seen a few very old drawings from before I started using refs more often and they almost look Better. They dont look 100% Right but they look Good. Now I overwork everything bc it doesnt look Right and it still ends up not looking Right or Good.

#i also mentioned before the whole ''it doesnt matter if it looks Right if it looks Good'' and how some people have uninformed stylization... #and i feel caught between those too...i feel like my stuff just looks like uninformed stylization... #actually scratch that‚ IT IS. bc i look at old art and its exactly what it looks like #i dont know how ppl stylize correctly. i know the rules but even when you break them it turns out that theres correct ways to break them #and i cannot do that... #i also cant tell if it looks good despite not looking right...as in my brain it just looks Wrong and (therefore) Bad #talkys #also ugh im now fully realizing the truth of youll never like your art because its Yours and you hate yourself. so discouraging. #i rlly am never going to like it. every day i wish i cld see it thru someone else's eyes bc this is so miserable. idk how to keep #going if im never going to like it or make anything im proud of #but i will bc i have to 🫶 alas #delete later

i've been thinking about norse paganism a lot lately (i think norse is the right english word). and i want to try to put all these thoughts into words. this will be a little bit all over the place; a vent post, if you will (or tankekjør, as we say)

sometimes i feel like i should worship these gods and not the hellenic ones, like i'm doing something wrong by worshipping gods that are essentially foreign; i live in norway and grew up learning about the norse gods. i believe in them too, in the same way i believe in the hellenic gods. but i've never felt drawn to them in the same way.

i've felt drawn to Apollo since i first learned about greek mythology in middle school, and that pull has only grown stronger as i've grown older. i feel right worshipping the hellenic gods.

it doesn't feel disrespectful to the norse gods necessarily. i acknowledge them and the fact that i live where they've been worshipped; i grew up in a christian family, but always aware of them. it feels almost matter of fact, that they surround me and have for my whole life. even if i do not directly worship the norse gods, i know they affect my life and the world around me. and i dont know if im doing wrong by dedicating myself to what are essentially foreign gods, while living in the land of and breathing the air of the norse gods.

in the same way, i believe in things such as house spirits as they are in hellenism; but i do not believe that they are here, where i live, because i also grew up with norwegian folk tales/mythology and believe that the house spirits we have (hus/fjøsnisse) are here.

it's a sort of mixing and matching of beliefs that i am uncertain if are disrespectful to any of my deities, or to the religions as a whole.

idk where i was going with this exactly. just thinking out loud, i guess. i want to try and see if i can find any hellenic polytheist communities in norway, or norwegian hellenic polytheists in general, who might have thoughts about this too.

#apollonssolskinn #hellenic polytheist #hellenic polytheism #norse paganism #diety worship #im not too good at putting my thoughts into words #and belief/faith is such an abstract thing to me. something that i know within myself and in my heart and therefore have no words for #idk if abstract is the correct word

making this it’s own post because I don’t want to detract from the main message of the one that prompted this, but

as important as it is to recognize how to spot AI generated images, particularly in regards to anything trying to spread disinformation in this specific case, body irregularities are not a good basis to go off of—in this case people are being really weird in the notes of another post about someone wearing a 6th fingered glove, and taking that as the proof of it being AI generated

so I’d just like to remind folks who already knew and may have forgotten, as well as inform folks who were not previously aware, that there’s something called polydactylism, where some people are born with additional fingers. ( linking to Wikipedia here for a quick definition but I encourage looking at accredited medical sources as well if you want an accurate grasp of things ) this can occur in other animals as well, and is commonly seen in cats

basically, what I’m trying to say here is do not determine that something is fake/AI based off something about a persons appearance being abnormal to you or societal standards, and then proceed to say some, quite honestly, rude things in regards to said persons appearance. Just, please be aware that people can have aspects of their appearance you’re not used to or expecting to be possible, and don’t use that as you’re sole indicator that something is AI generated, and ESPECIALLY don’t use words like ‘scary’, ‘uncanny’, ‘unnatural’ etc. to describe the persons appearance

( to note: I personally do not have polydactylism—or any visible deviations in appearance that are considered outside the norm—so to anyone who actually is in that boat and is comfortable saying so, please let me know if I’m speaking out of place, or wrong, or being insensitive in any way with this post )

#ableism #juuuust in case #ravens ravings #like im not saying ‘don’t be critical of something that could be fake and spreading misinformation’ #which is why I didn’t add this onto the other post #but guys c’mon #there’s a difference between ‘Hm this doesn’t seem likely and may be an indicator that this is a fake image’ #and ‘oh no this aspect of this persons appearance is abnormal and therefore must be fake and also is scary’ #like correct me if I’m wrong but that’s. that’s just ableism. like it is usually disabled folks who get this end of the stick #idk I can’t tell if maybe I’m making a big deal of something I shouldn’t but just #the way I saw some people talking about it just didn’t sit right with me

having some sort of chronic pain and tiredness issue and joint problems and whatnot but not knowing exactly what the problem is is really good at leading you feeling like you're faking it or making a big deal out of nothing or making it up. especially if there's a good day where it's not as bad and you can walk straight without limping for the first time in a year. but then you can wake up the next day and can barely walk and wonder why you can't just walk normal. it's hard to not guilt trip yourself into dealing with pain by trying to ignore it and force yourself to walk "normal" all the time

#chronic pain #chronic exhaustion #idk what else to tag #another day of why was lee walking normal and barely pain at work yesterday but then today so much pain and exhausted #wish i knew what was exactly the problem. was diagnosed with “generalized hypermobility” but doesnt do much #not a real diagnosis. basically just a thing to tell me “theres nothing wrong. exercise more” but how???? i keep trying but hurt myself #my job is physical labor and therefore exercise. it hurts. is exhausting. no energy to do more. walking is exhausting #have to focus so much energy on not popping hips out of place and twisting knees and ankles and falling. never hurts less #still think about how failed the heds test by 1 point but had several people with heds or who have close friends/family with it who told me #they think i have it and should go het diagnosed or just ask me if i have it because they recognize the symptoms #and every time i tell them the doctor i saw about my joint issues and stuff denied it they get super confused and tell me to try #another doctor. unfortunately i have to go through my designated health system and they dont have multiple doctors of each specialty #and i in general have no clue how to navigate health stuff or how to advocate for myself and have no help or support system at all so 🤷 #anyway. it makes me wonder if i *do* have that or if my floppy bendy joints are just similarly bad and exercise will cure me #and im just bad at it because i have no clue what is right and wrong movement unless someone watches me and corrects me the whole time #and no i wont learn or get better. im so disconnected from this body that i will never learn what feels right and wrong. #still cant even tell when im hungry until i almost pass out!!!!!!! of thirsty!! or even have to pee until its emergency level piss!!!!!! #so no way to tell when hypermobiling joints when exercising or when form is slipping and not correct anymore. #been trying things to get better at that but still hasnt improved at all #what was i talking about......right. dont think ill ever get heds diagnosis since cant pass the test for that. so cant get much support/help #am on my own with youtube tutorials and hoping i dont keep hurting myself wishing exercise will cure me and “good days” become permanent #also why are video tutorials SO HARD TO FOLLOW AND LEARN FROM. im sk bad at it yet everyone tells me its the best and only way to learn but #its SO HARD FOR ME 😭😭😭😭😭 MAKES ME SO FRUSTRATED AND UPSET

if u can enjoy something 100% & find no flaws in it personally then thats amazing but thats also a very rare experience. ur not a "fake fan" if u dont like a certain part of something & wish it was handled differently. idk why online spaces are so skewed to "if u have anything negative to say then u dont like the thing at all and are a hater" thats not how it works. like at all. if u are in ur own personal spaces going 'i like this but this one part shouldve been better' that doesnt make u any less of a fan of said thing. if u are going out of ur way to seek something out & interject on other people's posts about how awful it is & no one should like it then yeah ur being a hater about it. but disliking a part of a whole is a common experience & can coincide with being a fan of said thing. if u only "like" media that u find no problems with whatsoever u are going to be miserable. its okay & fine to have problems with things u like

#theres no perfect media all of it is made by humans and therefore subject to flaw #the world is not black & white even the most pure of colors can look muddled when placed next to a different one #attacking people over fiction is just. so removed from reality. have u breathed fresh air lately. #not to mention there is no 'correct way' to enjoy something #like no we all dont like it when someone enjoys it a different way from ourselves #but that doesnt mean its wrong it just means we dont like it personally #if u attack someone over not enjoying something in the same way as u or at all. well then i have i no respect for anything u have to say #nothing happened to me btw im not the target nor would i waste my time sending hate mail ever #this is just a tangent really.

[fdrsamericanflagduckfloaty]

Can I have a random history fact that you really like for some reason? I want to annoy my family with history facts. If you have a list that’d be amazing infodump on me-

oh my god ok sO

i'd say a favorite would be, because TR could be such a FUCKING IDIOT, he was at this little formal reception right? And he was speaking with Mark Hanna, and accompanying Hanna was a Frenchwoman named Henriette Adler. And TR was so enthusiastic and energetic in his speaking (in rapid French) that his arm started to get closer to her bodice (almost destroying it/knocking it off.). But INSTEAD, this DUMBASS proceeded to accidentally elbow a silk rose and some gauze off. He started apologizing profusely but did NOT STOP THE WAR RHETORIC in FRENCH and thankfully it was fixed by someone getting a safety pin.

But that was. So. Not okay 😭😭 it was recreated in a Rough Riders 2 part tv mini-series and it's so embarrassing each time I watch istg

NEXT okay this is gonna seem rlly not-detailed but when you have a PDF of a TR book you can get details mkay

so like Alice Roosevelt, badass bitch, smoked while she was a teen. Okay?? Well I was reading a book on her and TO MY SURPRISE she let her 13 YEAR OLD BROTHER (Kermit) smoke a cigar with her. IS THAT NOT- okay im- a little bit OUT THERE but i digress

Also the entire Bisexual JFK theory is. Very very believable but I WILL NOT GET INTO THAT but tbh he probably was BUT ANYWAY

Also wanted to mention this list on wiki exists

And the GHWB incident is that this mf, AS THE PRESIDENT, vomited and then fainted on THE PRIME MINISTER OF JAPAN AT THE TIME. america has the stupidest stories ever i swear to god

This next one, which is also stupidly funny as fuck to me but also hella messed up, is that, okay, so TR had a riding accident when he was younger when Alice was still a tiny toddler. And he returned home with fucked clothing, a broken arm, and a bloody face. Like he looked like he was a murderer mk. And he, yknow, sees his daughter, goes running to her. She fucking SCREAMS. this man is NOT her father who is this RED MAN GET HIM AWAY WHAT THE HELL.

But he catches her and he's all bloody and sweaty and she is SCREAMING so he. Guess what. Does not put her down. Does not try to CALM HER DOWN.

He SHAKES HER. and im sorry but the image 😭 bloody ass TR shaking his daughter like a rattle im sorry

but when she DOES NOT CALM DOWN AS ONE WOULD NOT AND SCREAMS LOUDER, he SHAKES HER HARDER. i cannot make this shit up

im

i

oh my god anyways

also you likely know this but when it was thought that tomatoes were poisonous, Thomas Jefferson really ate one in front of people and they thought he was dying but when he was fine they were like "..... what the fuck"

Aaron Burr also lit himself on fire TWICE

Burr also bought a coconut for like 70 dollars or smth

(im just listing shit i know i cant think of any faves rn my brain blanked as soon as i read ur ask)

!! A favorite WOULD be that TR killed a man with his bare hands and was like rlly pumped about it but you already know that

And when some of his men were like 'we are NOT going up hill no ohmg' he was like 'DO IT OR I KILL YOU MYSELF' and they, yknow, ran up the hill

because. that is. threatening

I also would like to mention the insanity that was Lincoln liking cats and Lincoln growing a beard because a child more or less said he was ugly without one and Lincoln also maybe being bisexual

JFK's nickname by his wife, Jackie, was Bunny, bc apparently he fucked like a rabbit hjkglkmhklhkmkljk

Buchanan (James Buchanan, yknow, a president) might've been gay

Thomas Jefferson also called John Adams a hermaphrodite and i find that funny but also like. why. wh. where did you get that

Also this isnt a history fact but if i wanted to i could probably gaslight someone into thinking Andrew Jackson was on bathsalts bc a podcast i was watching mocked him by saying he was on bathsalts and tbh. accurate

Jefferson also had a ram on the White House grounds and did not get rid of it until AFTER it either harmed or killed a little boy

Harry S Truman and Ulysses S Grant both have an S as their middle name, but both of those S's mean nothing. Neither. Crazy that both S mean absolutely nothing

Grant's first name was also Hiram!!

Truman and his wife also needed to replace a bed during the white house cause they may or may not have *slams barbies together* so hard that they broke the bed

I'd also like to say the William Howard Taft bathtub myth is false klhmkhmj but ALSO i find it rlly sweet how, during TR's funeral, he was sobbing because, even tho TR was bitter during him for their last few years, Taft still considered TR a friend, and when Archie (TR's second youngest son--youngest at his funeral, as Quentin died in 1918) noticed him sobbing he was like 'come over here, you're a family friend.'

i forget the exact line but it was something close to that effect. So even though TR held a grudge, his kids didn't.

Apparently TR and Edith also fought like their entire marriage over how to pronounce Tomato and I'd like to know how he pronounced it cause wtf do you mean

ALSO for once it is not American BUT: Winston Churchill and his wife, Clementine, had nicknames for each other. Animal nicknames. His was Pig. I forget hers but. Really. P i g .

She also once threw a plate of something (asparagus or smth i dont remember) at his face and it instead hit the wall so like bad bitch moment

And finally:

all of our presidents were DUMBASSES <3

(also the Hoover Dam is named after Herbert Hoover, not J. Edgar Hoover, i think that's a common misconception.)

OH the Roosevelts also had a pet racoon for a period of time. so whenever i see something reference the Coolidge's pet racoon, Rebecca, I want to be like 'yknow the roosevelts had one pre-white-house days'

i hope thats enough idk

#🐝 #sorry for sounding fucking insane #also since im in denial still i'd say the only reason quentin roosevelt died so young is because the world was not ready for him #he was described as being just like his father therefore that is why i say this #do not attempt to correct me

I’m not really sure who to ask but does Dan plan on streaming the other AA games? I haven’t been able to watch his streams lately so I don’t know if he’s mentioned that. I’ve been seeing people say “final episode/stream” and I’m not sure if they mean final stream for the trilogy or for the entire series in general.

Wasn't able to watch streams lately too, but, as much as I remember, he said he's planning to play only the main trilogy, but can return to aa games somewhere in future, if gonna feel like doing so.

So yeah, kind of for trilogy, but kind of for entire series at least for now

#Or I can be completely wrong and he never said stuff like that and therefore Im posting this on the main tag to someone to correct me #rtgame #i need a tag for ask

the fact that kids now are just gonna grow up streaming their family spotify plan from their smartphone instead of the rite of passage that is getting your parents to buy you your first mp3 player and excitedly putting all your youtube downloaded music and ripped cds onto it is... idk..

#heartbreaking? like yes obvs the whole streaming thing but mainly BESIDES that #everything in the world is on your phone now #having a tiny little separate device that has all your little files on it :( it was something so personal #putting the correct names and artists on each file and sometimes labelling them by folder. it was so deeply personal #also im so sick of spotifys 'shuffle' feature. its not a true shuffle if you prioritize my most played songs. #therefore making them even more played and more likely to show up next time too #i really want to have a little project like that. putting all my files on an mp3 player id like to do that this year

I think Aquia was born mid-ish February which would put him in aquarius and pisces cusp territory

Aquia was 100% born at the very edge of aquarius with strong pisces placements on his birthchart

February 17th or 18th I say

imagine naming a character Aquia and he's not an aquarius

It fits him so well though

the symbol for aquarius is the water bearer which is a symbol of the gods bringing essential nutrients to the earth with would be comparative to Aquia watering the flowers in the garden

you can tell I been thinking way too fucking hard about this💀💀

People that fall in aquarius pisces cusp territory tend to be understanding, empathetic, creative, kind but also insecure and isolated, they're also very generous

Guy is this mans older brother so of course hes quite emotionally strong as aquarius pisces cusp people are

Super aware of his emotions and dosen't tend cry when hurt

Um they also make good romantic partners😳💞 totally not cus I love aquarius' and/or pisces and I'm completely taken by Aquia what why would it be that

I wanna go more into dept but I still can only make assumptions since we still dont know alot about Aquia💔 (it's literally criminal)

I won't argue.

Sherry reminds me of my aunt in alot of ways so I'm gonna say her birthday is closer to the beginning of October

Maybe between the 3rd and the 5th of October

Sherry's pastimes includes fashion and shopping which coincides with a Libras love for fashionable mates and material things, material things aren't everything however

Libras are also very friendly people, they tend to be very social, and likable, and put their heart into their friendships and relationships

Sherry is charming, intelligent, a nice person to talk to, and terribly sharp

I get the inklings she has a healthy amount of aquarius on her birthchart aswell

If you tell me Sherry isn't a Libra your lying.

I feel like I'd place Violet as either a Scorpio or an Aries

I'm a Scorpio so yes I am biased.

Scorpios are passionate and assertive people, very dedicated and loyal

Violet=sexy , Scorpios=sexy yk it just makes sense--

Aries however are confident, determined, enthusiastic, but are also impatient and moody

I think Aries is definitely the better fit

Maybe a Aries sun with a Scorpio rising, yes?

Violets title is "the Ravishing Warrior" so it's quite fitting for two very strong signs, especially being dominated by Aries

I say her birthday is on March 30th

Aries people are also passionate and energetic lovers, loves showering loved ones in affection

Something else is an Aries' like of physicality and sports; one of Violets pastimes being physical training

Morning sex.

Listen you have to trust me on this--

For an Aries sun and Scorpio rising, this makes for a very horny person, both signs being ruled by Mars

Literally the best way to start the day, yk get your heart pumping feeling energized😩😩

Also considering Violets troubles with the male species, these kind of people (Aries sun and scorpio rising) know what they want and won't settle for less, and will find themselves in many relationships in their lifetime

Thoma gives me Taurus vibes

He is very similar to Rio in this regard

Taurus' tend to be very reliable and patient people

However...

I think Thoma falls more on the cusp of Taurus, leaning into Gemini territory

A Taurus and Gemini cusp this one

Born at the beginning of Gemini with strong Taurus placements

I say May 21st or 22nd

Geminis are very curious and adaptable but also nervous tend to be very indecisive

People that are a Taurus Gemini cusp tend to be pretty social and energetic but also pretty physically strong

Thoma is a very friendly fellow and people in this range tend to be great at making friends and maintaining relationships

Thoma is also an amazing person to talk to! you can tell this in his interactions and it's very reminiscent of a Taurus Gemini cusp person

Thomas indulgence is snack food so I thought it very fitting that they(Taurus Gemini cusps) tend to over spend on things like food and drinks

Thoma has such an attractive personality omg, from what we know of him currently, he just radiates charisma and is such a friendly guy, Thoma is a ray of sunshine

Geminis are also a sign that will find themselves in many relationships in their lifetime, they tend to be more free spirited and don't like things to stay the same, but that's not to say they're not loyal

Taurus Gemini cusps are the life of the party! and if you tell me that's not so Thoma you have to be lying

The symbol for Gemini is the celestial twins, and people born under this sign often feel they are missing their other half

I now propose this

hear me out

Thoma and Rio as platonic soulmates.

Mm mm MMPH, professor Hawk is quite the fine specimen if I do say so my self

I wanna take a bite out of him.

Yall ever just wanna taste someone like :0 NOM MMM :}

Capricorn.

January 9th.

...

He just looks like a Capricorn.

Look at him.

Capricorn are very independent creatures and Hawk quite literally has independent listed on his profile in cod

Capricorns are intelligent and reliable also loyal and Hawk used to be apart of the Ira castle royal guard which is quite sexy😋😋

Capricorns are usually depicted as more serious and ambitious however every Capricorn has a secret mischievous side that's maybe a bit more... Hawk-esque

This bitch is a drinker, this is common knowledge

Capricorns can in fact party that's all imma say

Capricorns tend to mellow with age, I'm not saying Hawk is old but going from a protector of the crown to this very chill professor that often seems bored seems to fit

Both my parents are Capricorns aswell as some childhood friends, so I'm basically witness to this kind of phenomenon, especially in my parents

We stay talking bout oh Sherry needs a route, Aquia, Violet needs a route, what about Thoma-- what about professor Hawk⁉️🤨🤨

I'd smash🤨 wbu⁉️ huh⁉️

Be honest with yourself.

I originally made this post yesterday but it didn't save so I literally spent almost all day today rewriting it and I'm so tired its literally 2am rn
