The Witch from Mercury and Subtlety in Storytelling
Gundam's newest series #TheWitchfromMercury has done a lot right, including using its main character in unexpected ways. #writing #blog #anime #TheJCO
Welcome, weebs, to Animated Observations The world of anime, especially when it comes to genres like sci-fi and fantasy, can often revolve around big flashy moments and fight scenes. Mecha anime, in particular, utilize their giant robots as not just points of literal conflict but symbolic conflict as well. Mobile Suit Gundam is one of the most historic in terms of its themes surrounding war and…

I do sort of wish western anime fans would analyze anime and manga from a framework of japanese historical and cultural context. Specifically a lot of works from the 90s being influenced by the general aimlessness and ennui that a lot of people were experiencing due to the burst in the bubble economy and the national trauma caused by the sarin terrorist attack. I think in interacting with media that’s not local to our sociocultural/sociopolitical sphere it’s easy to forget that it’s influenced and shaped by the same kinds of factors that influence media within our own cultural dome and there ends up being this baseline misalignment of perception between the causative elements of a narrative and viewer interpretation of those elements. It’s a form of death of the author that i think, in some measure, hinders our ability to fully understand/come to terms with creator intent and the full scope of a work’s merits

*SXF EPISODE 21 SPOILERS*
Some of the little things I liked about the new episode
1. The language! Yor says "our daughter" just before Nightfall goes "his daughter". She's really making no effort to hide her rejection of Yor.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
2. I love how Yor bends down to Anya's level when she talks to her, a show of both literal and figurative closeness.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
3. This. Absolutely golden.
Tumblr media
4. Blushing Yor. Need I say more.
Tumblr media
5. Loid Forger's eyes
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Vs.
Twilight's eyes
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They used different sides of the face, too, which highlighted the duality even more.

Sirene asteroid (1009) observations
Tumblr media
Sagittarius Sirene people appeal to others when they're fulfilling their purpose or having a clear direction in their lives. For example, my cousin has this placement, and she's able to appeal to others when she's so sure about being a dancer, believing that she was made for that, following the direction set by her heart/intuition without questioning it.
I have this placement too, and I think people come to me a lot in search for answers, to understand themselves better since Sagittarius is all about expanding ourselves.
Sirene in the 5th house is about mesmerizing people when you're in the spotlight, being confident and letting yourself shine. Also when performing, so this is a good placement for celebrities. My cousin has this, and she grabs everyone's attention when dancing, plus her personality (5H) is very charismatic.
I also have Sirene in the 5th House, and I'm not so comfortable in the spotlight which to me comes from the Capricorn degree (10°, 22°). This brings delays and challenges when it comes to you expressing or getting used to this alluring energy. You have lessons to learn before you're able to own this energy.
A Leo degree shows that you're confident to use this energy, you were born to be seen and to shine under the spotlight! Guess who has this. Yes, my cousin 💃🏻⭐️ It's worth noting though, that she has insecurities and suffers from anxiety, but she still loves the spotlight and wants to shine.
Libra Sirene attracts people when they show a chill attitude, by wanting to make everyone feel comfortable or included, by using a soft voice and having a great sense of aesthetics. My dad, for example, uses a soft voice when he wants to be polite or liked by others, and shows a super chill attitude with my sister and I's friends. A couple of my girl friends simped for him 😷
My sister has this placement too and she's the type to try and include everyone in the conversation, plus she too softens her voice when being polite or wanting to be liked? She also has a great eye for fashion. And with her friends she appears more chill than how she really is (she's crazy, your honor - in a good way).
Jungkook from BTS has Libra Sirene and his singing voice is very soft compared to what I thought it would sound like at first.
He also has Sirene in the 9th House so he might drawn in more foreign fans than korean. This placement could indicate being alluring when you're open to learn from other cultures or expand your understanding of things. Think about ambiences like college, school, foreing countries.
Scorpio Siren could be appealing when they're intense, reserved, observant, alert. Also, when they're being toxic (controlling or uninterested) or give off that aura of bad boy. For example, one of my exes has this, and he pulled me in with little to no effort, he used to take his time replying to my messages and I waited for him, thinking about what he could be doing and wishing for his attention. 🤢
A high school friend has this placement too, and he had this air or mystery when he actually was doing nothing? He has Scorpio Sun conjunct Sirene, and he wasn't easy to get close to at first. It's like he gave off an air of "I'm on my own, don't bother me", and some girls pinned after him.
Virgo Sirene people are alluring when they keep a humble attitude, lending their attention to you and recognizing they can learn something from anyone. My grandma and two friends (a guy and a girl) sometimes would ask me for advice, to explain something to them or to give them my opinion about something, and as I reply they'd look at me with the utmost attention, not wanting to miss any detail. They look at you recognizing the value of your words and that's so wholesome, it makes you feel heard and appreciated.
Sirene in the 1st House might give a great first impression considering it's the house of beginnings. They might be the person people notice or get curious about first in a group, and nobody knows why; it's unconscious. They also might atract people when they take initiative, which movilizes or motivates others. They seem like they would do good in a leadership position, people would be drawn to listening to them (especially when they're in the energy of the sign their Sirene asteroid falls under).
For example, a Virgo Sirene in the 1st House person might drawn people in by taking iniciative and assuming the role of a leader in a humble way, paying attention to everyone's input and striving to reach their ideal.

Synastry Observation : 💥 MARS IN EACH OTHERS HOUSES💥
Tumblr media
Mars in the 1st house :
If your partner's Mars is in your first house, it indicates an intense and passionate connection between you. Both parties are likely to be highly active and driven, and there is a strong potential for a very physical and intimate connection where you both feed off the other's energy and are empowered by one another. This can be a very positive and beneficial connection, but it can also lend itself to excess passion or aggression, so it is important to be aware of that potential and work to keep it in check through communication and mutual respect 🥵.
Mars in the 2nd house :
If your partner’s Mars is in your second house, it can represent an intense and passionate connection between you, where you share a strong desire for love, material stability, and comfort. this placement lends itself to a very strong attraction and powerful sexual desire, but it can also lend itself to excess aggressiveness or over-commitments when it comes to acquiring the material things you want. This placement can also lend to a certain degree of possessiveness and jealousy, so careful communication is important to ensure that both parties are comfortable with the level of physical and emotional intensity this connection can entail 💥.
Mars in the 3rd house :
If your partner’s Mars is in your third house, it can represent an intense and passionate connection between you that is built around communication and intellectual interaction. This is a connection based on shared interests, values, and ideas, and it can also lend itself to shared activities and conversation, as well as a shared interest in learning and communication. However, it is important to remember to take time for personal reflection and communication and to make room for the less practical and more personal and emotional sides of the relationship as well, as over-commitment to intellectual or mental pursuits can lead to imbalances and disconnects if left unchecked🧐.
Mars in the 4th house :
If your partner’s Mars is in your fourth house, it can indicate an intense and passionate connection between you that is built around shared home and family values and traditions. This is a connection that values a sense of belonging and stability in your shared space and home life, and it can lend a deep sense of comfort and safety. However, it can also lend itself to a sense of possessiveness or jealousy regarding your shared home life, as well as a certain degree of attachment to the familiar and familiar routines and customs. It is important to find a balance and appreciate the new possibilities of life alongside the roots that define who you are🏡♥️.
Mars in the 5th house :
If your partner's Mars is in your fifth house, it indicates an intense and passionate connection between you built around shared interests and values, specifically when it comes to having fun, playfulness, pleasure, and desire. This is a connection that celebrates the more joyous and exciting aspects of life, and it is often associated with creativity and enthusiasm as well. However, it is important to be aware of the potential for over-committing in these shared areas and the need to balance these positive qualities with responsibility and more grounded aspects of your life 😬.
Mars in the 6th house :
If your partner's Mars is in your sixth house, it indicates an intense and passionate connection between you that is built on shared values of service, work ethic, and responsibility. This placement can represent a shared commitment to taking care of the everyday things in life, as well as a shared sense of discipline, dedication, and structure to daily activities. This relationship can provide a strong sense of security and stability, but it also lends a more practical and matter-of-fact approach to life. It is important to remember that it can also lead to a tendency towards rigidity and routine, so it is important to allow for balance 📅.
Mars in the 7th house :
If your partner’s Mars is in your seventh house, it can indicate an intense and passionate connection between you that is built on shared values and ideals. This is a connection based on shared beliefs and morals, and both parties may find themselves with similar perspectives and desires. This shared foundation can lend a sense of understanding and solidarity in the relationship, but it is also important to remember to find balance and appreciate the more practical and mundane sides of your relationship as well. It can be easy to get lost in the romance and passion, but without a foundation of trust and respect it will lack the stability needed to last 💌.
Mars in the 8th house :
If your partner's Mars is in your eighth house, it indicates an intense and passionate connection between you that is built on shared values of trust, intimacy, and vulnerability. This is a connection that values the more private and hidden aspects of life, and it can lend itself to a strong sense of commitment and the willingness to explore the deepest levels of self and experience. It can offer a great deal of intimacy and understanding between the partners, but it also lends itself to possessiveness and jealousy, so it is important to ensure that an emphasis on shared trust and intimacy does not become all-consuming or controlling🔥.
Mars in the 9th house :
If your partner’s Mars is in your ninth house, it can indicate an intense and passionate connection between you built on shared values of adventure, learning, and philosophy. This is a connection built on curiosity, open-mindedness, and shared ideas about the world and the universe. It can provide a strong sense of excitement and fun as well as the potential to explore the unknown and unchartered territory together, but it is important to remember to balance the adventure with the mundane and make room for the day-to-day concerns and needs as well 🚞🌋🧗🏻‍♀️.
Mars in the 10th house :
If your partner’s Mars is in your tenth house, it can indicate an intense and passionate connection between you that is built on shared values of ambition, career goals, and personal aspirations. It can lend a sense of drive and focus on achieving shared goals as well as a supportiveness towards one another in terms of career and personal life. It is important to remember to balance this drive with the real-life needs and concerns, as well as to not let the pursuit of external success overtake the connection and the more personal and intimate aspects of the relationship👔📝.
Mars in the 11th house :
If your partner’s Mars is in your eleventh house, it can indicate a deep and passionate connection between you that is built on shared values of friendship, community, and teamwork. It can lend a strong sense of camaraderie and shared passions around which to build strong connections and friendships. It can also lead to a desire to take care of others, as well as an understanding and appreciation of the need for social support and a sense of belonging 👫🏻.
Mars in the 12th house :
If your partner’s Mars is in your twelfth house, it can indicate an intense and passionate connection between you built around shared values of spirituality, imagination, and intuition. This is a connection that values the soulful side of life and the more intangible and unseen dimensions. It can also lend itself to shared creative endeavors and a sense of connection on deeper levels as well as a strong degree of empathy and compassion 🔮.
Please do not copy or steal any of my work <3. These are just personal observations so don’t take any of them too seriously 🧿😙♥️.

Dungeon Meshi - Kobolds and Werewolfs
Machine translation of commentary on alt because I couldnt find these specific ones translated.
Putting a few more observations of my own under the cut, on another version of the kobolds from daydream hour 2 (slightly different from "The complete Daydream Hour") Ryoko Kui Mentions the Native dogs as "Jackals, African Dogs or wolves" which I think its interesting.
Tumblr media
I don't know much about DnD so I thought it was strange most Kobolds showed up as lizard people when I searched them on google and I learned that Kobolds are popularized as dogs in japan due to D&D first edition describing them as having dog faces. This was the post that first made me aware of that.

⛓Obsessive placements in Synastry⛓
[DISCLAIMER: everything I’ve written comes from personal experience and observation. It may not resonate with you and it’s totally fine! tysm and stay safe!]🧨
Synastry 🧬
-Pluto/Lilith conjunct Asc/Moon/Ic
Usually since Pluto is the planet of obsession, the Pluto person will be the one who’s more obsessed, but I’ve noticed that the person receiving that energy, that in this case would be Asc/Moon/Ic somehow form some sort of emotional attachment to Pluto’s obsession. I know this might sound weird but if the receiving person is quite plutonic themselves then it’s more likely the attachment will be there. If Venus is somehow aspecting this, the Pluto person might make the other person feel loved the way they always wanted , which would lead to attachment, because in human psychology all humans get attached to that one person that makes us feel loved. Good sex and physical attraction, there might be some bdsm or even masochistic actions in the bedroom.
Moon in the 4th/8th house
Moon in the 4th house can be more of a loving/comfortable obsession, where you somehow get obsessed with the house person, but in a gentle way, since the 4th house is ruled by the moon. Strong emotional bond. In a romantic relationship this might be that one ex you will always love or feel love for. Love with no hard feelings. Also the moon person might see the house person as marriage material with this overlay.
Moon in the 8th house it’s a whole another story…💀 Personally I enjoy these sort of aspects since I’m very plutonic myself but I know some people who have had this aspect in synastry and they somehow get scared just talking about the relationship they had. The house person might get very obsessed with the way the moon person makes them feel and how they can get under their skin. The 8th house is our dark side, the type of shit we wouldn’t show just to anybody. It’s like forming a bond with the other person’s dark side. Get ready to act like psychopaths lmao. Also the house person might want to create the moon person or vice versa. The moon person might see themselves in the house person, since our moon tells us about our deepest core and how our soul truly is.
North node conjunct Sun, Moon, Asc, Karma
So the north node is our compass, it shows us where we are heading in life. When someone’s Sun, Moon or Asc is conjunct it,it feels like this person is the person we’re supposed to be with for the rest of our lives or the person we’re supposed to be like. If the person leaves, it might feel like we’re heading in the wrong direction or doing something wrong. But what this aspect truly is about, is that the planet person shows us a way, sets an example for us of what we should do. They’re not who we should be or our person, they’re just completing their karma, which would be showing and guiding us, till we reach our task and they do what they were sent for. But this can create a strong sense of “fate” and obsession since the Karmic nodes are low-key tricksters and illusionists.
Pluto/Lilith conjunct/square Venus.
A classic. At least every person that is into Astrology knows about this. Obsessive love. Nothing more and nothing less. There might be a need to control and tell our partner how they should, love, dress, express their emotions and who they should be dating. (Especially from Pluto) watch out for love bombing and emotional abuse/manipulation. It happens so so often with these aspects.
Pluto in the 12th house/Saturn in the 12th house.
Yikes. Not my favourite. Yep Saturn too bc Saturn can burden and makes us feel obligated/bonded/forced towards something. The planet person will feel very obsessed and almost as if it is an obligation for them to get to the dormant and most hidden part of the personality of the 12th house person. Big invasion of privacy and it feels almost as if the planet person might not respect ur boundaries. Stalking happens very often. The planet person sometimes might disturb the house person so much it could create some sort of trauma in the subconscious of the house person.
Tumblr media
So guys I hope you enjoyed this! I’ve been rewatching Strangers from hell (2019) lately and I got inspired to make this post. Since they remind me of these aspects in synastry. I’ll be making a composite version of this too!
The last time i saw the series was back in 2019😭 I forgot how good it was. Anyways love y’all ❤️ thank you for the support it truly means a lot to me❤️

The Observation Deck: Buddy Daddies
Today, a look at #BuddyDaddies and the story of two assassins turned parents. #writing #blog #anime #TheJCO
Welcome, weebs, to Animated Observations Happy Easter to anyone who celebrates! Kids are…great. For people who want them, that is. Little bundles of joy and chaos that take up time but give return a sense of meaning and purpose. Sure, they can be rude and a big handful sometimes, but that is true of every kid. However, they probably should not be a goal for people who work in the murder…

Ya know, everyone talks shit about Fairytail because it does rely heavily on “the power of friendship” and I get if that’s not your thing or feels too childish for you but
Can we acknowledge how dark it all is? Loke/Leo is suicidal in the beginning, Lucy comes from an abusive father and dead mother, Gray is an orphan And his step in mother figure died to save him after he made a bad choice, Erza was an orphan and a Literal Slave as a child with a bunch of other children and her childhood love got possessed and continued her abuser’s work. We all know the shit with Natsu and the dragon slayers.
That’s not even going into the Mirajane/Elfman/Lisanna backstory, or the story of any other characters like Juvia and Happy and Charla and Zeref and such. Like holy shit? This show is so so dark and everyone looks over all the trauma and dark themes because there’s the whole power of friendship thing, which was weaved into the show to actually mean something and not just there for shits and giggles.
All this to say, you can dislike the show, hate it even, but don’t just judge it for the light hearted outer shell it has, because inside is dark and dense and Meaningful
Thank you for coming to my TedTalk

Astrology observations pt19
Tumblr media
The moon and how you emotionally manipulate other people;
Moon-Venus: Flattery as a form of manipulation. Using charm, seduction or niceties to lower defenses and suspicions in order to conceal more aggressive intentions. Using praise as a subtle form of manipulation (when the praise is gone, one may interpret that as displeasure, and wonder what they need to do to get it back.)
Moon-Mercury: Choosing an overly “rational” approach to matters which clearly have emotional merit and value. Labeling the other party as being “overly emotional” and insisting on “logic” as a device to devalue feelings or the other person’s experiences. Using the request to “calm down” as a means to manipulate the honest responses of another person. “Minimization” where the aggressor is attempting to assert that their behavior really isn’t as harmful as the other is making it out to be.
Moon-Mars: Combat and Aggression as a means of manipulation. Using the sheer strength of one’s emotions to “steamroll” or bully the other person. Utilizing the interaction as a chance to purposely injure rather than truly understand the other person or the nature of the conflict. Being “mad” or “outraged” as a tactic with hopes that the anger will consume the other’s attention so much that they will cease to investigate the validity of the claim.
Moon-Jupiter: Manipulating through righteous indignation or claims of “moral superiority”. Attempts to convince that you’re the “right” or the “good” person within the interaction, while the other is the “bad” or “wrong” one. The implication here is one of smug disappointment, a.k.a. “I thought you were better than that” or, “I expected more from you.” The hopes are that the person will feel so ashamed of not being “a good person” that they’ll give in and change their position.
Moon-Saturn: “Withholding” as a means of manipulation. Becoming purposely cold, remote and emotionally inaccessible in attempts to punish the other person. There’s a suggestion that the partner will now need to “work” to gain one’s affections back. Also, the “dumping”, or assigning of responsibility to how one feels onto the other. Manipulation through obligation or guilt.
Moon-Uranus: Unpredictability as a means of manipulation. “What will She/He do next?” is the main question when one is experiencing this particular dynamic. One person intentionally seeks to keep another “off-balance” in hopes that they will become so engrossed in the vacillation of behavior that’s taking place that they’ll place less emphasis on the unhealthy and imbalanced transactions they’re continuing to participate in.
Moon-Neptune: Obfuscation and avoidance as a means of manipulation. (“Let’s talk about this later.”) “Spacing out”, or an altogether denial of one’s or another’s emotions. Intentionally crafting things as unclear or nebulous. Refusing to provide concrete definitions and feelings. Operating off of deceit, lies (through omission). (“Who? Me?”) Or, possibly taking a victim’s stance in the way of being under the influence of alcohol or substances (“you know how I get when I drink, smoke weed, etc…”)
Moon-Pluto: Manipulation through pathologizing. (“The reason that you act like that is because of your family situation growing up.”) Becoming an unsolicited psychotherapist and labeling the other as ���abnormal” or “crazy” for thinking or feeling the way that they do. Also, purposely unearthing wounds which may have been revealed to you in confidence at a previous time in attempts to shame the other person.

LILITH (H13) OBSERVATIONS
Tumblr media
Sagittarius Lilith might experience situations that don't let them expand. For example, parents that are oppressive in some way or short-lived relationships. I've had both: living in a golden cage and not having had romantic relationships that lasted longer than a month.
My mom has this placement too, and she had very controlling parents.
A friend of mine has Aries Lilith and she tells me pretty often how her father and friends are rude to her, that no matter how hard she tries they don't love her back :/
A friend with Leo Lilith told me that her ex bf didn't pay enough attention to her (like he used to do), that he pushed her away a lot to “get his own space” but in kind of a rude way (not talking, just leaving/ignoring her and expecting her to be 100% okay with it).
Lilith conjunct Sun people have a side of their personality they don't want to be seen. An insecurity or something that they think will drive people away from them.
I have this placement, and I felt guilty for having broken up with a bf. I thought I was the one who wasn't ready for commitment, not mature enough, not good enough for relationships, but after some shadow work I realized that he had been taking advantage of the fact that he had been my first bf to relax and not be 100% committed to me. He fed me bread crumbs and I didn't see it because I hadn't had a previous example of how a committed relationship looked like. I internalized the insecurities that came up as we dated and believed I was not lovable enough while he deserved better.
5th House Lilith women might have had men/boys tell them they're not special or attractive to their face.
11th House / Earth Lilith might oppose tradition and the role that was expected for them to follow by, for example, having a kid/s with someone but not getting married to the father and even parting ways with them. Both my aunt and sister have this placement in different earth signs, and they did that.
One guy with Virgo Lilith got cheated on by the mean girl of my class. She had slept with and gone out a lot with one of his friends. Another guy with Virgo Lilith was the side boy, the lover, and even though my friend at the time had told him she only wanted something casual, he got angry at her when she wanted to end their not so secret relationship. In both cases, everyone got to hear their stories (mercury rules over communication and gossip).
Also, both of them have Lilith with a minor aspect to Uranus = sudden changes. The first guy surely didn't expect that the friend he had asked to take care of his gf in a school trip he didn't go to would sleep with said gf (:s) While the second guy really seemed to had expected to become her actual bf instead of having had been broken up with once she got bored of him (:’v)
