Astrology Observations #4

Haven’t done an observation post in foreverrr so here we go. :)

👾 Aquarius suns whether they want to admit it or not, LOVE hearing about gossip and drama. Despite being aloof, they are still air signs. They wanna hear the tea.

👾 Moon-Jupiter aspects give big/prominent boobies.

👾 Aries suns either spend money like it’s nothing or are totally frugal.

👾 Vesta Conjunct Sun in synastry scares me a little. It can be a great aspect, but I feel more often than not the Vesta person tends to put the sun person on a pedestal and deifies them. I had this with my ex, and for a lot of the relationship I always put the blame on myself because I saw him as this person who fixed me and could do no wrong.

👾A lot of Ceres aspects (3 or more) can make someone very curvy/thick.

👾 Libra Mars got that cake.

👾 Cancer suns and Scorpio suns I just don’t dig as a couple and here’s why. I feel like Scorpios tend to use the Cancers to heal themselves and they tend to form trauma bonds with Cancers. Obviously this isn’t always the case, but I don’t see them as the perfect soulmates that everyone says they are. I think Cancer + Pisces works well and Cancers with earth signs. Scorpios I think would work well with earth signs, Pisces? Ehhhh maybe.

👾Aries moons 🤝 Scorpio moons having an intense and dark eyes/gaze (if they don’t have really dark eyes, they have a dark gaze)

👾Libra suns and risings LOVE to buy from influencers

👾Cap risings have big or unique teeth. In other words you notice their teeth right away.

👾I’ve noticed a lot of politicians and famous people have planets at 0 degrees in their chart. So do with that what you will.

👾I feel like so many Cancer suns have issues with one of their parents or someone in their family, despite being the sign of “family”.

👾 Cancer moons be giving Shakespearian monologues whenever you’ve made them upset. I would bet my left leg they’ve all had an emo phase at some point in their lives.

👾Moon Square Mars is an underrated sex appeal aspect tbh. Even if they’re not physically attractive, they still have an attractive way to them. Some celebs w this placement: Marlon Brando, Jessica Chastain, Tiffani Thiessen, James Dean, Kurt Russell, Natalie Wood, and so on.

👾Sun Square Moon individuals tend to struggle with mental health issues, some celebrity examples: Kanye West, Heath Ledger, Selena Gomez, Jodie Foster, and so on.

👾Some aspects I’ve noticed that tend to indicate a romantic relationship (or at least potential for it i.e. one person asking out the other) in the Composite chart are: North Node in the 7th, Vertex in the 7th, Juno in the 7th, asteroid Valentine 447 in the 7th house, asteroid Frigga 27 aspecting Venus, and Vertex Conj. Descendant. Some of these are from @factsrological !

👾Aries suns are noodges. LMFAO. They know how to annoy people and push their buttons.

👾I’ve noticed sapphic women tend to have Venus-Uranus, Mars-Uranus Mars-Neptune, and/or Venus-Neptune placements. Minor degrees included. Not every single woman who has it will be sapphic, but I’ve never noticed a sapphic woman without one. I’ve also noticed Asteroid Sappho making aspects to angles, personal planets, or in angular houses in sapphic women as well. Also for aspecting personal planets and angles, I’ve noticed there usually are 3+ aspects, but this isn’t always the case. For example I have Venus quincunx Neptune, Mars quincunx Neptune, and Sappho aspecting my midheaven, chart ruler (Jupiter), and Saturn. I spent over an hour looking at different charts of sapphic celebrities and that was the general consensus.

👾Gemini rising stares are underrated. Scorpio risings and Gemini risings have that same smoldering look, except Gemini risings have a more mischievous smoldering look whereas with Scorpio risings its dark and intense. I’ve mistaken Gemini risings for Scorpio risings before.

👾People with a prominent Asteroid Casanova tend to be players and flirt a lot. People with harsh Casanova aspects esp to their Mars tend to be unfaithful in relationships. I’ve noticed this more in men though.

👾Life of a Cancer stellium: Always being right about people and situations but no one ever listens to you.

👾 I’ve noticed ALOT of Capricorn suns have issues with their father. If not issues, their father greatly influences their lives for better or for worse.

👾 Pluto in the 1st all have the death stare. It’s no joke. LMAO. Every single person I know including myself have this and give scary death stares. Al Pacino has this and you’ve seen his stares in Scarface.

👾I’ve noticed Cancer placements if sleepy and not near a bed they’ll try to make their own makeshift bed, like when I was at school between classes I would line up a bunch of chairs next to each other and lay down and use my backpack as a pillow. My old boss who’s also a Cancer got a lounge chair and would bend it all the way back and put a giant cushion on it and sleep in the back room.

👾Everyone talks about asteroids conjunct your ascendant, but never talk about the oppositions. I feel like the conjunctions have more of a “comfortable” effect if you will and oppositions can be more strongly felt and are uncomfortable. Like I have asteroid Apollo opposition my ascendant, and I’ve had so many people who try to challenge me, and be intimidated by me for no reason LMAO. Since Apollo conjunct ascendant deals with power and people looking up to someone, I have people trying to “take my power away” and “fight me” for it if you will. Weird shit. Maybe I’ll do a post about it.

*** Next observations are NSFW ***

👾I don’t see Lilith-North Node in synastry talked about a lot. This in synastry means that the individuals teach each other to embrace their dark side and explore their s*xuality if the relationship is romantic or s*xual. Usually the individuals can’t keep their hands off each other.

👾Not really an observation but Eros and Lilith persona charts can tell you what you’re into s*xually. I have an 8th house stellium in my Eros chart and it makes sense, I’ll just leave it at that.

👾 A lot of Nessus aspects (3 or more) in the natal chart can make someone s*xually deviant.

👾 I’ve noticed people with their Mars at 0 degrees tend to not be very s*xual or don’t care much about it, like it happens when it happens, sort of attitude.

👾 I feel like the s*xual chemistry between Cancer Mars and Libra Mars is incredibly underrated. They’re both into soft and sensual sex, and love the intimacy of m*ssionary.

👾Asteroid Vesta aspecting Saturn may indicate losing your virginity later in life.

👾 I’ve noticed Libra placements in bed tend to be very into giving, and want to make sure their partner also finishes.

👾Having a prominent Priapus in your chart makes romantic partners want to have s*x with you right away, and this aspect typically gives a high s*x drive.

👾Scorpio moons have the bedroom eyes. They know how to undress you with their eyes, and they know how to get you to do it. They have a charm about them that just makes them irresistible. Even if they're not physically attractive, they’re just ~ sexy ~ in some inexplicable way. The people I know with these placements are constantly hooking up and/or dating people with barely any effort.

👾Lilith in the 2nd women tend to be s*xualized in addition to Lilith in the 1st women. It’s not as blatant however, it’s more hidden. For example, they won’t be ogled in the street or be asked straight up to have s*x, but they’ll get to know someone and that person will start saying s*xual stuff to them.

👾Aquarius Eros, Lilith in the 11th, Mars in the 11th, Mars Square Pluto, and Aquarius Mars are into some k*nky shit bro. I’ve noticed people with these placements having particular f*tishes.

👾Prominent Libra and 7th house placements, as well as Libra and 7th house stelliums may have clothing f*tishes, i.e. denim, leather, etc.

👾Positive Mars-Saturn aspects, Mars-Mercury aspects, and opposition Mars-Jupiter aspects can indicate a small d*ck, but all other Mars-Jupiter aspects usually indicate a larger sized one. Also both small d*ck aspects and big d*ck aspects in one’s natal chart usually indicates an average sized one. Definitely check @factsrological for more on this! I was inspired by their post.

👾Those with afflicted 8th house ruling planets tend to have a hard time “being in the moment” during s*x. They might dissociate or feel disconnected from their body. I also see this in people who have a hard time figuring out their sexuality.

👾 I remember reading somewhere that Neptune rules the org*sm so looking at which house it falls in and which planets it aspects can tell you what you’re like when you org*sm. I forget where I read it, but I’ve found it to be true. My Neptune falls in the 2nd house and I usually eat after having an org*sm. I’m also very loud as well. LMAO. TMI.

👾Mercury in the 8th house individuals LOVE to read smut and write their own. They’re more into mental stimuli than visual stimuli. They’re also really good at dirty talk.

👾Aquarius Eros love to be filmed or love the idea of being filmed while m*sturbating or having s*x. They also love the idea of phone s*x and FaceTime s*x. There’s definitely some exhibitionist shit going on here LMAO. The idea of being watched excites them.

👾Eros in the 3rd house love giving or*l.

***Back to normal***

👾Cancer Mercury and Libra Mercury friendships are so underrated imo. I know the signs are typically squared, but they're similar in a quite a few ways. For example they tend to be underestimated in how “savage” they can be if you will, they can be very ruthless with their words and tend to be looked over. They’re also both very direct people as they are both cardinal signs while sharing a “softness” to their words. Idk, I’ve always gotten along super well with Libra Mercuries.

👾Aries moons will really stalk and obsess over someone just to get bored of them 2 weeks later.

👾This one is weird but I’ve noticed that those with outer planets (Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto) in the 3rd house tend to have big lips/mouth or just unique lips/smiles in general.

👾Sag placements and Gemini placements in the big three tend to have the most expressive faces.

👾Leo suns, Leo risings, Sagittarius suns, and Sagittarius risings have the best hair, hands down.

👾Moon in the 1st makes anyone fairly shy. At least at first.

👾Libra Mars placements are SO moody, but boy do they know how to flirt and charm. Lmao this post talks sm about Libra Mars.

👾Talking about Lilith in the 2nd again, they’re very cunning. I’ve seen someone else mention this, and I looked into some famous people who have it, and it’s true. They’re very smart and they will do whatever they have to in order to get shit done. They’re ruthless, whether it’s for a good cause or a bad cause. They also have very strong leadership skills and know how to command people- again for both good and evil. Some examples: Pablo Escobar, Hillary Clinton, Napoleon, Winston Churchill, Jim Jones, Nero, etc.

👾Moon in the 8th individuals have soft eyes. I don’t know why but they just do. You’d think with the Scorpio energy it’d be a piercing gaze, but I’ve always seen individuals with this having a very soft gaze. They have a heavy presence yet their eyes are so soft. Majestic creatures.

👾People with Pluto in the 7th, Saturn in the 7th, an afflicted or unaspected 7th house ruler, and Scorpio in the 7th, I’ve noticed tend to get into relationships later in life, i.e. they start dating at a later age.

👾I’ve noticed individuals with Saturn in the 5th either are super into relationships or just super uninterested. I’ve seen this with siblings actually. One sibling is very selective about who they wanna date and isn’t interested in searching for love meanwhile the other one is on 8 different dating apps LMAO. However, I have noticed that this plays out in different ways. For example while this house rules creativity, she’s very creative and wants be a fashion designer, whereas he’s completely not interested in anything creative. Also she loves kids, and he wants nothing to do with them. It’s weird how certain aspects play out.

👾Mars in the 1st house overlay in synastry is no fucking joke man, I have it with this girl I like and I literally cannot speak around her because I’m in such a state of yearning. Every time we talk I just want to grab her and kiss her. Rip.

👾Speaking of synastry, 7th house synastry will really have you questioning if you should marry the person even if you don’t like them. I have this with a few people and I’ll randomly start thinking about marrying them and I’m like nope. 7th house synastry at least for me, just fucks with my brain.

👾Thinking about the time my co-worker liked my other co-worker and she tried to flirt with him by asking for a bite of his ice cream and he told her to get her own. He’s an Aquarius and she’s a Libra, I think that says enough. LMAO.

👾Unaspected moons tend to be very emotionally cold and closed off, or just have a hard time dealing with emotions in general.

👾I’ve noticed that people with an afflicted 3rd house planet ruler and/or having it aspect Saturn or Pluto tend to get their driver’s license later than most. (The third house is typically associated with cars, some say the 4th, but I think it’s the third since 3rd house energy is more on the go and 4th house energy is a home-body type of energy).

👾For some reason I always end up having beef or attracting people with Libra placements at one point or another. I think it’s because of my Mars in the 7th. Weird shit.

👾Mercury in the 8th people are OBSESSED with revenge and getting back at people who hurt them. I’m speaking for myself but also other people that I know. They just tend to think about shit over and over again. Because of this, I think this also is an anxiety placement since there’s so much overthinking and not being able to move on from past events. Myself and the other people I know with this placement all have some form of an anxiety disorder.

👾Those with Sagittarius placements in the big three tend to make friends with those of different cultures, religions, races, nationalities, etc. I’m a Sag rising and many of my close friends are Muslim and I was raised Catholic. I also have a good friend who lives in another country as well! I’ve found this to be true with other Sagittarius placements.

👾I’ve noticed women with Lilith in the 11th get hit on a lot on social media. A couple close friends of mine have this and they’re always getting DMs from thirsty ass dudes LMAO. I’ve also seen this take a dark turn and I’ve seen people they’ve met online get obsessed with them and start stalking them. Obviously if you have this placement it doesn’t mean you’ll get stalked, I’ve just noticed that these placements tend to get a lot of attention from the opposite sex online.

👾Gemini moons despite being super social and funny, there’s still a tinge of awkwardness to them? I think it’s the Mercury energy. Like they’re awkward but in a charming way? I don’t know I’ve just noticed this. They also like to make jokes during awkward moments and laugh at their own jokes if no one else laughs.

👾Those with harsh Moon-Mars and Moon-Venus aspects in their natal chart tend to attract each other like moths to a flame. People with these harsh aspects also tend to attract those with un-aspected moons.

👾I’ve noticed that those with Aquarius, Aries, and Sagittarius placements in their big 6 tend to have more radical and unconventional views about politics than others in their time. This is seen in the charts of Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, AOC, FDR, Bernie Sanders, etc. Not saying every person with these placements has radical political beliefs but I’ve almost never seen a radical and unconventional politician/economist without one.

Slept on Ships P1: Space Princess

Slept on Ships: Space Princess; Silent Jasmines hello!! so after taking a look at the very long Batpham shipping chart and seeing so many slept on ship dynamics, i decided to start a series all about highlighting romantic and platonic dynamics that---in my professional opinion---deserve more love. i'll be starting with the first dp/dc ship i created: Space Princess.

Space Princess: Dani Phantom/Mar'i Grayson

Relevant Background

so, in general, if you're not knee deep in the DC Fandom, you might now know who Mar'i Grayson, aka Nightstar, is. Mar'i Grayson is the daughter of Dick Grayson, aka Nightwing, and Koriand'r, aka Starfire, from Earth-22. she appears in the Kingdom Come series, where she has her own issue and everything! she's shown as protective of her family, like her father, and just as strong-willed as her mother.

if you'd like more info on Mar'i here's a like to the wiki article: Mar'i Grayson (Earth-22)

fun fact: in Kingdom Come, Dick and Kori are actually divorced, while in most fanfic, people portray them as together. Mar'i is also part of the Teen Titans on her earth, along with Lian Harper and Irey West.

in this post i'll be reference a few head canons such as; Dani being considered a Princess in a Ghost King Danny au and Dani possibly having an ice core (we don't know what core she has in canon.)

Why is the dynamic interesting?

they are prime Sun and Moon couple energy

Mar'i who lives her life in the sun as a public figure, her powers fuled by the sun and just as bright as her, while Dani hides in the shadows of society, lurking. giving Dani and ice core adds an extra layer of opposites.

they are equal parts soft sapphic girls, and battle hardened heroes. they're both incredibly capable political figures (in a Ghost King Danny Au) who always have to put up a front, they have to be the perfect leaders their kingdoms need them to be. they would understand each other in ways that other people couldn't

i also imagine them bonding over being the child of very famous/rich parents.

they also have colorful girlfriend and grunge girlfriend vibes.

Dani deserves to run Tameran like a fortune five hundred company while Mar'i is off being a superhero. the dynamic works strangely well for them.

Dick and Kori would love Dani, and if Mar'i doesn't marry her they're adopting her

Mar'i can be scary when she wants to, just like her mom. Dani thinks it's very hot.

Mar'i inherits her mother's height, which makes her both taller and stronger than Dani, and Dani would love it.

i like to imagine Dani having purple eyes or powers later down the road (since Vlad's are pink and Danny's are green/blue) which would make them almost opposites. it could be a fun story device to use.

A lot of people compare Mar'i to her mother, but realistically, i think she would be a lot like her dad's family, specifically Tim. it would be fun to explore the dynamics between Mar'i and Tim as niece and uncle, and they dynamic between Mar'i and Damian as sort of siblings (yes, i am a 'Dick Grayson is Damian Wayne's dad' fan). it could be prime real estate for a little bit of Danny/Damian or Dan/Tim or Jazz/Cass on the side.

Mar'i inherited her mom/dad's anger, and he Uncle Tim's ability to compartmentalize her feelings until she breaks. enough said.

through Mar'i, and by extension the batfam, Dani learns what real love looks like. she finally understands how abusive Vlad was to her. this could be in the context of a Vlad trying to redem himself, or a Vlad trying to manipulate Dani back into his life, but now she knows better.

with how much Mar'i hung around Raven as a kid, it would be interesting if Mar'i knew that Dani was not normal before everyone else. maybe Mar'i even knows a little bit of magic.

Some Prompt Ideas

a photographer and model au

Dani joins the Teen Titans and meets Nightstar

Vlad and Bruce are business rivals, but neither Dani or Mar'i particularly care and get together anyways.

Mar'i sees a clip of Dani in her ghost form with her green powers and thinks she's Tameranian. Mar'i channels her inner Uncle Tim and goes all detective to find Dani.

Dani is a mechanic and Mar'i is a student who refuses to get her very old car replaced.

Mar'i gets lost in the Zone after the destruction of her universe. She had no idea what to do or where to go. Dani finds her, and together they traverse worlds they were never meant to see.

Fic Recs

(i will admit the second one is self-promotion but i'm working with a small pool of fics lol)

Our Love Will Last Us by foldingfacets (READ THE TAGS)

Dani fell in love with the hot girl who watched her smash her skateboard into a dude without care. Little did she know the girl saw her first and fell in love faster. Maybe, just maybe, Dani doesn't have to be alone anymore. Maybe Mar'i would stay.

Can I have this Dance? by petitechatonne

When Dani goes to a gala with Sam, originally intent on keeping her friend company, she meets someone who sweeps her off her feet. Literally.

Playlists

Pintrest Boards

this paring has the ability to be cute and horrifyingly angsty at the same time, with a good helping of family chaos on the side!!! i will admit i'm quite bias about this one as the first ship i really made, but i also think they have the potential to have interesting and complex stories. there aren't enough sapphic pairings in the dp/dc fandom and yes, i am trying to single-handedly change that. join the revolution today!!!

-- find the wonder in creating. love, Kate💗

hiiii lychee :))

as you can see I have too much free time on my hands. but I have a decent amount to say today, so prepare yourself

I’m gonna try and keep this organized and maybe short so 1: do you have any more thoughts on the avatar mako au to share because it’s been rolling around in my brain a lot and I want to know what you have to say about it bcs the way your brain works is so. hajdhskapxn/pos

2: mako learning to draw by engraving his parents’ faces in the dirt of an alleyway over and over and over for years even as he starts to forget their faces. mako who wishes he could’ve afforded paper and charcoal at eight to put down something permanent, something accurate. mako getting their family photo from yin and giving her the scarf, redrawing the picture on the nicest paper he can find to give to her as well. artist mako,, save me artist mako,,,

3: more fem mako thoughts but makorrasami love triangle/eventual polycule(?) except they’re all girls. I just feel like the pining after your team captain who you now do know is gay except it’s because she’s dating a rich girl who’s also very hot is just a whole lot more fun than what they had going on in canon because. girls but sports au. sooo in love w that. also I don’t think makorra would get together in b1 like canon did for a couple reasons. for one, the girl trauma in addition to general trauma of being a homeless orphan. touch and gestures of affection from a person she doesn’t know well yet would probably be a no-no, and korra seems like a very touchy person, just in the natural way that her space is yours and your space is hers. also her energy? like obviously mako would come around but korra in b1 is so much more excited about the world than mako and I think that would kind of, like, intimidate her. (<-also reasons makorra could’ve worked later on but not when they happened) but as the series progresses, korra mellows and mako gets used to her. it works.

but then how does masami happen so early? because asami is the moon to korra’s sun. she’s calm and a careful thinker and after korra’s exuberance breaks down mako’s walls a little bit, asami would be able to slip in being everything mako imagines herself wanting. also more than financially stable. so masami becomes a thing, and korra is jealous, but she’s not sure of who which I personally think is so funny

but yeah that’s basically it. I always love how you take my silly little commentary and give actual thoughtful replies, it makes my day 😭

with love

🐌

snailon! good to see you here haha i totally didn't die for like two weeks what fjsgjhjkgfhs (i'm so sorry i took so long that you thought you imagined this ask hhh)

okay i actually have not thought about it for a hot minute but get this… i get like 40 hours a week back because no more percussion! so i have so much time!!! dude i'm going to rewatch lok AGAIN and then brainrot some more. avatar mako's love hate relationship with the entire fucking world is the only thing about it in my head. i'm sorry i don't have a lot to say about this au right now :(( it'll happen,,, one day,,,,

oh! (sobbing!) personally i am a fan of aspiring writer mako but also artist mako is extremely valid and i love the hc's you've built around it :)

girl for girl for girl makorrasami is really the best version of it tbh! love all your thoughts and actually that's a hilarious angle of korra getting the Sapphic Confirmation but it's not a good thing bc the love interest is actually dating a girl who is NOT korra except oh shit this girl is also super hot and attractive. what the fuck is this. korra my favorite girl in the world ever you're allowed to like all the girls in the world if you want and no one has the right to fault you for it.

anyway thank YOU for always sharing your thoughts with me!! i love to hear it and i'm sorry there was such a delay bhjfjgfh i'll get to your other ask soon promise. my commentary is a little bit dead today but i wanted to get this out instead of leaving it rotting in my inbox forever because i promise i have been turning it over in my head for a minute now :P have a good day snailon!

A sapphic poem i wrote a couple months ago :)

Also note: I'm not a poet so some of these aren't the best. A bambi lesbian is a lesbian that likes more romantic things like kissing and cuddles rather than more sexual things. Some bambi lesbians are asexual some are demi and some aren't on the asexual spectrum. It just depends on the person.

Bambi Lesbians

Life has no banter

For more deers to canter

Bambi loves me sweet

And for a little treat

A kiss atop the head of fur for her

As me a deer so sweet and soft

Lay in grassy meadows of sun

But when the moon comes

Lipstick will be spread like flowers on a warm spring day

Kisses of love with be like a dove

Flying height will top the most eccentric buildings

All will be sweet with streaks of lavender haze

When you set my heart ablaze.

it’s nice to have a (girl)friend - robin buckley

date: june 16, 2022

summary: robin’s a good “friend”

note: y/n is a fem bc robin is a lesbian but race and appearance isn’t mentioned. y/n uses she/her. this takes place the school year before season 3 and during season 3

warnings: nothing but fluff bc wlw/sapphics deserve media that isn’t centered around suffering and homophobia 🫶

a/n: ITS PRIDE MONTH AND I SHOULD HAVE A GF RN. also i think the gif is vvvv cute

tags: @we-stan-evie-frye @ghostofscarley @loverssfevers @limerenze

the air was crisp against your skin. you had dropped your gloves somewhere along the way to the bus stop in the morning and the indiana winter wasn’t very forgiving. “want mine?” robin asks.

“no, robin, it’s cold.”

she slips off one of hers and slips it onto your own hand, “compromise.” she smiles, lingering on your wrist. subtle touches like those warmed your heart. robin tugs on your coat sleeve, covering your exposed wrist.

“wanna hang out?” you ask, “i have my place to myself today.”

“yea, sounds like fun.” you lead her to your bus.

it’s stuffy in there with everyone’s coats and slippery boots.

“i forgot how much i hate your bus,” robin laughed lowly. hers happens to be more empty and have less band geeks with their bulky cases.

“it’s only fair, we always go to your house. i got a nintendo with a bunch of games. you can use it first.”

you were rambling about your plans once you arrived. only stopping when you feel robin’s hand in your pocket. she withdrew it with a downturnt smile.

uncrumpling the paper was a drawing of a flower inside a heart vase; written in it was: you look very pretty.

“i meant to give that to you in english.”

the butterflies were overwhelming. robin was your first almost girlfriend (almost because she hadn’t asked you out yet, and you were to nervous to ask her).

•••

school finally let out, the humidity was agonizing and the sun left anything that absorbed heat, sizzling. unfortunately, robin’s roof was black, which burned the back of your thighs. the temperature only started going down as the sun set, leaving a trail of pinks in her wake.

“is harrington going to replace me?”

robin tensed up at the mention of his name. you were only joking though. “harrington is such a doofus. no brain cells, all hair. i think all the hairspray killed them.” she sent you into a fit of laughter, almost causing you to roll off the roof.

she grinned as she gripped your hand to keep you stable. the sweatiness of her palms hushed your laugh in an instant. gasping for air, you lay closer to her.

the sun was done sinking at this point.

“do we have to get off any time soon?” your head rolled towards her, only to see that she was already looking at you.

“nah, no curfew. but i do have work tomorrow.” you nodded, “you should come in with me.”

“sure.” the apples of your cheeks hurt from smiling.

•••

some couple had gotten married as you were cruising through downtown hawkin. you weren’t around the church to see them as the bells rang, announcing their life long union. you only saw the aftermath of the rice on the corner.

“in some cultures that means bad luck,” robin stated, “we shouldn’t throw rice, you know?”

“well babe, i guess we won’t throw rice.” robin’s cheeks were blazing red.

“yea…babe.”

“let’s go home.”

robin kicks off on her bike, leading you home.

—————————————————————————————————————————

after reading note: yes i feminized the sun, suck it up 🫶 the sun and moon are sapphics, it’s a lesbian relationship. also i didn’t know how to write the final verse 💔

#robin buckley x reader #robin buckley #stranger things #robin buckley fluff

rank all of snow angel including bonus tracks

snow angel - one thing about me is if i see the word snow im THERE bc i lovveeee the winter (hayle) season and this song really has that energy w the super clear vocals and imagery n stuff, and im obsessed with the absolute whiplash of this song going from that to the REALLLLY LOUD PART W THE ELECTRIC GUITARS SO GOOD. her vocals here are so impressive bc its really difficult to go from singing really soft like that to the really really loud belting and she can even do it live like on SNL which was SUCH A GOOD PERFORMANCE OMG. im currently in my schools silent library listening to it and im so paranoid that people can hear it through my airpods (if they can then tbh theyre blessed) also also the way she sings gives church performance in the best way

pretty girls - sapphics and bubblegum pop???? this is so mecore its like this song was chemically designed for me to enjoy it 100/10, IT SOUNDS SO SPARKLYYY AND ‘i like a straight jacket but it feels like its a little tight’ <- relatable content

wedding song - this is such a depressing song to have about an ex rip but the melody SLAPPSSSSS

i wish - ever since u introduced me to the acoustic sessions version of this ive gotten really attached to it, its really calming and kinda disney-esque ‘oh the older we get / the colors they change / hair turns to grey but the blue stays the same’ shes good some really good lyrics on here

gemini moon - i was thinking that this is so relatable and i dont believe in astrology but apparently reneé is actually a PISCES moon and so am i (sun and moon actually) so theres that !!!!! 1000000000 / 10 vocals as usual and i like her really personal songs

tummy hurts (specifically the coco jones remix) - first line of verse 2 is so real, this needs to be talked about more😔✊🏽

poison poison - this song is really funny and good and also all i can think of when i hear it is that one performance when people were comparing her to a goose or something☠️

so what now - the intro to this is so asmr <33333333 i have no strong thoughts on this song but

talk too much - i loveeeee her voice memo things in this she speaks the same way as me only american

i do - im choosing to interpret this as queer girl in love w straight best friend bc </3

messy - this took a couple listens to grow on me but i love it now !!!!!! it really picks up in the second half

23 - really good lyrics, this will move up in my rankings when i can relate in approximately 5 years

willow - this song is so chill im gonna add it to my sleep playlist rn, and i like how clean the vocals are and i like the finger snaps and the bell synth thing in the back

swim - also very chill i like it, and ik i wouldve ate this up in lockdown bc its produced like the songs i really liked back in the day 😫😫

i hate boston - i think i like this one but i genuinely can’t remember the melody of it when the song ends😭 concept is good, rip to bostoners tho

there actually isn’t a single bad song on this album :DDDDDDD yyayyyyyyyy

#asks #bea tag #ranked this instead of doing my philosophy studying

Match-Up Request Guide & Rules

Status; CLOSED

Match-ups for Twisted Wonderland, which will include the main cast, staff, and some of the side characters. They can be for yourself or an OC of yours, all I ask is to limit it to one person per ask.

When I am accepting match-up requests, I try to respond to them in a timely manner. But when match-up requests are closed I will sit on them for a bit, as I may be busy working on something else. Please be mindful of that. If I receive quite a few match-ups when my status says CLOSED I may just end up deleting them, so that I don't feel overwhelmed.

PLEASE INCLUDE

Name (can be a nickname of yours, your OC, or emoji, please don’t share your name if you are uncomfortable doing so) For anons, please see the Match-Up Masterlist since stuff tends to get lost in the sauce here.

If you want a platonic and/or romantic match-up. I will not write anything NSFW for match-ups so please do not include NSFW in your request.

Pronouns

How you see your personality

How a friend would describe your personality (I know some people struggle to describe their personality, so a friend helps)

Hobbies and interests (feel free to infodump)

What you are looking for in a relationship

What you cannot stand/will not tolerate in a relationship

How do you show affection

How do you want to receive affection

Bonus, but not necessary

Sun sign, Moon sign, Rising sign (if you know it), Mercury sign, & Venus sign

Meyers-Briggs type

Enneagram

Appearance & fashion sense

Sexuality & romantic orientation

I can write polycules, queer-platonic relationships and other types of relationships, please mention what form you would like.

I can also gender-bend the characters, since I know there are quite a few sapphic and woman-attracted people in this fandom; I see you. Just leave; For match-ups can I have the gender-bent version? (nothing really changes except pronouns)

Tropes that you like; friends to lovers, found family, bickers like an old married couple, etc.

If you would prefer the main cast, side characters, and/or the staff.

If there are any characters you would be uncomfortable with

Disclaimer: You may not receive your favourite character, as I may see a different character(s) being more compatible. But!!!! Remember, just because someone says (insert character name here) would match you, it doesn’t mean you and your fav wouldn’t work. If you are considerably older or younger than your match-up you can imagine them, or yourself/OC aged up, as that is what I do. The match-ups will be at least 350 words long and I will try to keep them at the same relative word count for each request.

COBRA KAI SAPPHIC SUMMER WEEK 1 GOLDEN

CW for some (underage) sexual references but nothing too explicit. Basically just acknowledging it's a thing that occurs XD

***

I know a place Where the grass is really greener Warm, wet, and wild There must be something in the water

Sipping gin and juice Laying underneath the palm trees (Undone) The boys break their necks Tryna to creep a little sneak peek (At us)

You could travel the world But nothing comes close to the Golden Coast Once you party with us, you'll be falling in love

California girls, we're unforgettable Daisy dukes, bikinis on top Sun-kissed skin so hot we'll melt your popsicle

California girls, we're undeniable Fine, fresh, fierce, we've got it on lock West Coast represent, now put your hands up!

Sex on the beach We don't mind sand in our stilettos We freak in my jeep Snoop doggy-dog on the stereo

You could travel the world But nothing comes close to the Golden Coast Once you party with us, you'll be falling in love

California girls, we're unforgettable Daisy dukes, bikinis on top Sun-kissed skin so hot we'll melt your popsicle

California girls, we're undeniable Fine, fresh, fierce, we've got it on lock West Coast represent, now put your hands up!

***

@karatecaulfield gotta pspsps you again

Fun fact: Even though this is obviously the most YasMoon song to ever YasMoon, I only really started associating it with them when I wrote a scene for my ongoing fic where they were jamming out to it and singing along in the Range Rover. Because by god!!! They WOULD jam out to California Gurls like the preppy-yet-uninhibited valley girls they are!!! Like when I think of girls singing too loud in the car and dancing around with the convertible roof down and generally being the most obnoxious young women you've ever seen in your entire life, YasMoon is the first thing that comes to mind. It's their Vibe!!!

This semi goes with this ficlet I wrote, which was loosely based on California Gurls. I think I said it best in the tags there: There's a certain peach, orange, and cranberry cocktail that I think these two beautiful lesbians deserve to model their life after >:3

I fr love the idea of these girls trying to walk around the beach in heels XD And somehow they don't stumble at all (at least not visibly!) and it confuses the crap out of all their friends. This is just what happens when you were born and raised within driving distance of the beach and Constantly Pressured To Be Hyperfemme-Style Pretty XD

No but imagine being friends with Yasmine and Moon and going to a big Fancy Beach Bash that half the grade and kids from several other rich kid schools are invited to. And then halfway through, the cohosts completely vanish and you're like ???? So you follow a trail of high heel prints someone left in the sand (who DOES that, by the way?) until you eventually come across two pairs of casual-but-still-very-pricey stilettos half-buried in the sand like some weird modern art installation. And you're like "Oh??? Who are the lucky guys? ;3" but brother, all those interesting noises coming from that nearby beach tent are definitely female.

Another fun fact: I have been meaning to submit this moodboard literally all summer. I made it in like May??? But I'm glad I saved it for the event because...yannow...golden??? Golden Coast??? XD ...too on-the-nose?

(Also decided to include the snippet of said fanfiction with the California Gurls jamming-out scene as a separate prompt for this week! Hilariously, it happens to have a bunch of gold color motifs in it that are completely unrelated to this submission. Lucky coincidence? Anyways, it'll be up in a couple days!)

I also have something planned for Heatwave, btw!!! But unfortunately I'm going on a trip soon and definitely won't finish it by the end of week 1 :( It's in the works, though, and I defs want to post at least some of it later on!!!

ANYHOW.

Idk I just think they deserve to lie on beach towels holding hands and eating popsicles and sipping fancy cocktails and also going on Santa Monica Pier dates and taking long coastline joyrides with the windows down, all while very openly in gay love with each other <3 <3 <3 They'll get there someday, I know it!!! Yasmine, you can do it!!! You can stop repressing your sexuality, I promise!!! Godspeed, girl!!! ;_____;

Also, cannot tell you how much I would LOVE to see Moon tie her hair up in a loose ponytail with a patterned ribbon like in the top left pic :O Like it is no longer a mere want, it is a DESPERATE YEARN. And Yas would look cute af in that pink-and-white bikini and the light pink towel in the bottom right, don't @ me!!!

...the irony of me absolutely despising fashion and clothes growing up because I was a girl and girls were "expected" to be into that sort of thing, and now I joyously dress my gay little blorbos up in cute outfits with nary a care in the world XD Character development, I guess?

Anyways, I didn't get into clothes to appease men by presenting "feminine" enough for them. I got into clothes to impress all the hyperfemmes I wish to kiss under the moonlight akjnsauldkbhks I no longer perform femininity for men because most I've met actually kind of hate it and the only people who have ever fully embraced my girly girl side are in large majority other women lmao. You only get to see my girly side if you embrace it unironically!!! If you only like it as a means of boxing me in and secretly hate/make fun of me being girly, you will simply never get to see it :3

As always, pic credits available upon request! Keep an eye out for my fic preview coming soon! :D

less-likely-to-get ships: utenanthy, cassunzel, kyoko/homura, whichever you feel like dropping a take for

I'll do all of them. Anything to procrastinate writing

Utenanthy - I honestly need to watch Utena again or at the very least watch the movie already 'cause on my first watch I was too busy trying to figure out what the hell was going on at any given time to think too much about ships and I'll definitely appreciate everything much more now that I have a clearer view on Utena and its themes. However Utenanthy is undeniably the blueprint for pretty much all sapphic ships today and though I wish they could've been much more overt with it (like I know they are in the movie) it's still amazing how much they managed to accomplish in 1997

Cassunzel - Invented knight/princess dynamics and also sun/moon sapphics I was amazed at how blatant that coding was. They snuck out of the castle after Rapunzel turned down her boyfriend's proposal and Cassandra was like "No one can know about this or they'll send me to a convent" in the pilot. There is a whole episode that's just a play-by-play of the Tangled movie but with Cassandra in Eugene's place. Cassandra dies and Rapunzel brings her back with the power of love??? Also Cassandra is so so soft for Rapunzel it's insane. The way several times in the series she was supposed to be mad at her but then Rapunzel did something so endearing that Cass couldn't help but smile at her in the most adoring way. "Look into my eyes now/I know you feel it too"/"Perhaps I do". "Lose each weakness that remains" coupled with Cassandra destroying a drawing of Rapunzel. The way the story was literally about them and their relationship. They were so powerful they had to get Cassandra out of the way so Rapunzel could marry Eugene and even then no one was really convinced

Kyohomu - Love that the entire basis of their dynamic is "You're also a traumatized ex-Christian mean lesbian in love with someone who's too self-sacrificing for their own good?" Like I think they just get each other and it's good Homura can be close to someone other than Madoka 'cause Kyoko will not ask any questions and will not pry but she will stand by her and that’s exactly what Homura needs. Definitely a brotp however it's not something I ship romantically at all. I read one (1) fic and it was too fucking weird for me

HOTTEST TAKE EVER (/j) naruhina works EXPONENTIALLY better as a sapphic couple

their dynamic just works better that way! imagine,,,, sun and moon butchfemme lesbian ninjas‼️ wouldve made their dynamic more interesting and wouldve opened the door to so many more writing scenarios involving the two

think abt the possibilities!!! hinata is afraid of speaking about her crush not only because she’s shy, but also because she’s afraid her clan and her father specifically wouldn’t approve of her liking another woman (as a new heir to the hyuga clan wouldn’t have been able to be produced)

YURI MAKES EVERYTHING BETTER!!!!! I LOVE YURI !!!!! WHY HAVE WOMEN LOVING MEN WHEN YOU CAN HAVE YURI???

dare i say naruhina only sometimes works but as a wlw couple naruhina works almost always🤔

ok pls dont cancel me guys

hey, hope you’re doing alright! could i get some fluff headcanons of mirko and midnight (seperate) pls? tysm, have an awesome day!!

Yes. unfortunately for me just tested positive for covid so my so anime and books are my only escape from the walls of my home rn so this is a welcome distraction. Also, I added some

Mirko:

Though she is usually hc'd as the biggest sporty girl and I absolutely agree I will die on the hill that she is such a big fantasy fan. Like I think she def has a wall of swords in her house paired with a really well made ren fare costume pieces. All of your professional couple photos have some sort of whimsy to them like you two on thrones or in fields in extravagant outfits.

I also think she is big into sapphic fantasy novels. At standing The Priory Of The Orange Tree is a favorite.

You two host gather night at y'alls place for your friend group. Hawks is one hundred percent in charge of bringing food and joke always finds the best board games, but you pick the best movies.

Midnight:

She def does as much as she cAN to cover a drunken tattoo she let mic giver her one day on her thigh.

IDK why but I feel like she's done narration work before like for books and things. It was in her years before teaching, but she had a really fun time with it.

After dinner every night you two have a tradition to take a walk down to the local pastry shop and get a scone and drop one off to Mic at his DJ job before coming home to make some night tea so you can read or be together before bed.

Joke:

She really can't stand most comedy movies because of their pejorative and often times punch down humor, but she does love old timey newspaper comics. Just classic humor made up of bad puns. As a gift once you drew her one and she keeps it tucked in her wallet.

She is such a good roller skater. Don't argue with me, I'm right. She does that glide thing where they look like their moon walking while dancing just a little bit. She just- floats. She takes you to skate night as often as you'll go with her. You two are skating beneath the neon lights in matching outfits and the vibes as immaculate.

She is always forgetting to drink water. Its gone as far as her throwing herself into coughing fits while laughing so she asked you to pick out a really pretty water bottle for her and sends you snapchats every time she finishes a bottle.

Uraraka:

I have the oddest feeling that she'd be into ariel silks, maybe because it helps her to feel both heavy and weightless given her quirk. Anyhow, in the morning before the sun is up. She has a rig in her living room because it has the most windows. As the sun is rising or setting she's doing silk yoga to stretch her body and wake up her muscles. She'd be ecstatic if you'd join her, even if it was just to hang around.

She does not take very good photos, but she has so many blurry candid shots of her friends and places she cherishes. Some of these have made them into frames and are put up on her walls.

She grub hubs you food all the time. There have been a few times where she has just shown up with it, but it is not uncommon for you to get a knock at your door and its some food she knows you like.

Till Death Do Us Part

Requested by @milfdilflover

Summary: Agathas take on couple costumes

PSA: Do NOT copy, steal, translate, plagiarize, republish, etc any of my works on Tumblr or any other platform. Also, do NOT claim any of my works as your own. All of these works are either requests I’ve gotten that people have wanted me to write or original ideas I’ve had for works. If you happen to take inspiration from anything I’ve written and want to write something inspired by that, please a) ask me first and b) IF I say yes, credit me as inspo in your post by tagging me and link whatever work of mine that inspired you. Thanks.

PSA c/@ynscrazylife

"Aggs, where are you." You shouted as you walked in through the door, hands full with shopping bags and your keys that almost fell in the sewer on your way back home.

"I'm here love." The witch said as she walked into the living room and helped you with the bags.

Magic was practical, especially if you could just hover your annual Halloween haul to the table instead of trying to carry it all at once.

Agatha eyed all the bags critically and then looked at you again, this time with a raised eyebrow.

"Did you buy the whole store or what?" She teased with a smile, as she looked at your overflowing dining table.

"No I didn't." You defended yourself and grabbed one of the bags, "but look what I got for us, matching costumes!"

Exited you pulled out two matching dresses, one was dark blue and had little moons on the corset while the other was yellow with orange suns.

You had fallen in love with the dresses as soon as you saw them. Not just because you thought it was a cute costume, which it definitely was, but rather because of the fact that Agatha sometimes called you her little sunshine.

"Matching costumes, what's next? Matching graves?" She teased.

"So you don't like them?" You asked, now unsure of your decision.

"No sunshine I love them!" She reassured you and took a closer look at the dresses, "and besides, you can bet your ass that I will get us matching graves. Death certainly won't separate us, my little sun."

Ranking the Hugo 2021 Nominations for Best Novel by How Gay They Are

I did this with the 2020 nominations because they were overwhelmingly sapphic, but now that I’ve read the 2021 nominations I think these are even more queer than 2020! The ratings are based on how queer they books are not how much I liked them.

6. The Relentless Moon - Mary Robinette Lowell

Rating: 4/10

Explanation: The way this author writes feels unbearably straight (and white) to me. She definitely makes an attempt to have a diverse cast of characters but is not very good at it so it ends up feeling more like a bunch of stereotypes than actually interesting characters. There is a sapphic relationship that is briefly hinted at in this book. A woman named Wafiyyah says she wants to use her one phone call (they are on the moon) to talk to her female lab partner. The main character speculates that she is probably in a relationship with this woman. Wafiyyah is mentioned a total of 12 times in the whole 500 page book and has about five lines of dialogue. But I won’t forget Wafiyyah and her lab partner. Giving points for her and then points for being on the moon because space is gay.

5. Piranesi - Susanna Clarke

Rating: 7/10

Explanation: Well, you can’t have a book about an academic cult without at least one of them being gay. This is a misleading description of what Piranesi is actually about, but idk...something about academia, people obsessed with the classics, greek aesthetics, and being gay. There is definitely homoerotic vibes going on through the whole book as well as mentions that that one character is, “picking up men,” and was “gay before it was legal,” and uh...maybe doing some other things. It’s unclear to me.

*Okay to be honest the next three books on this list are all pretty equally queer. They all have multiple queer characters and are pretty diverse in other ways too. So I ranked them arbitrarily.

4. Network Effect - Martha Wells

Rating: 8/10

Explanation: The thing that is great about the Murderbot books is that queerness is very normalized. There are multiple queer relationships that are just mentioned in passing, and if I remember correctly (all the murderbot books are one big book in my mind), there is a wlw couple that features prominently. There are also a few nonbinary characters including the main character. Polyamorous relationships as well. I would like to live in Preservation, please.

3. The City We Became - N.K. Jemisin

Rating: 8/10

Explanation: You know what I was saying about how Mary Robinette Lowell clearly tried to make The Relentless Moon diverse and didn't do it satisfactorily. Well, N.K. Jemisin said “hold my beer.” When writing characters meant to embody the boroughs of New York, she made sure that the people would all be different ethnicities, genders, and sexual identities. Since, ya know, New York is pretty diverse. She did an incredible job of writing maybe the most diverse book I have ever read (what does that say about me? What does that say about the publishing industry?). There are lots of queer characters in these books including gay, bi, lesbian, and trans characters. Although their identities are not central to the plot so far, I think that a mlm relationship will become very important in the later books in this series. Okay it’s not really fair to say they aren’t central to the plot since I’m sure they are part of her central metaphor or something.

2. Black Sun - Rebecca Roanhorse

Rating: 8/10

Explanation: Like the two last books, Black Sun is diverse in many ways. Queerness is not quite normalized in the pre-columbian americas inspired fantasy world of Black Sun, since Xalia, the bisexual sea captain was sent to jail for sleeping with a woman. That being said, it seems that some cultures are cooler with it than others in this world, and non-binary and trans people are accepted. Queer relationships and identities are sprinkled throughout the book. Also this book is just great! I highly recommend it. Might be my favorite on this list were it not for my Locked Tomb brainrot.

1. Harrow the Ninth - Tamsyn Muir

Rating: 10/10

Explanation: Harrow the Ninth has many notable queer characters such as: the main character, the main character’s evil roommate, the main character’s dead ex-frenemy, a sword, a woman possessing another character (a few of these actually), God, and more! This is just a very queer book. It gave us classic lines such as, “gall on gal,” and “Ianthe had walked away from you, all split lips and gay loneliness” which was weirdly relatable. Plus I’m gonna say 1.5 gay sex scenes (argue with me about this).

Other Notes (Continue reading for some random thoughts on these books, my actual ranking of them in terms of how much I like them, and a comparison of Griddlehark to Mahit/Three Seagrass):

*I would say this is a better list than the 2020 nominations where there were a few books I straight up hated. I liked all of these books, even Relentless Moon.

*I would rank the books in terms of how much I liked them: Harrow the Ninth > Network Effect > Black Sun > Piranesi > The City We Became > The Relentless Moon

*I think it’s funny that “Black Sun” and “The Relentless Moon” were both nominated. Sun vs moon. Don’t make them fight, they are dating!

*The City We Became was great but the ending was umm...very abrupt...N.K. Jemisin wrote the Broken Earth Trilogy so she can do whatever she wants, but yeah I have to complain about the rushed ending. Black Sun also had an abrupt ending. I guess they are setting up for the sequels. Vs Relentless Moon, Network Effect, and HTN which are just building off of the other books in the series so they don’t have to do as much set up. Oh wait, Tamsyn Muir didn’t do that much worldbuilding in GTN and therefore made me sit through pages about the difference between thanergy and thalergy that made me feel like I was in 11th grade biology class trying to take notes.

*The television show, For All Mankind has a similar premise to The Relentless Moon but actually has a few queer characters including a woman I am in love with. Seriously, more people should watch that show!

*HTN and Piranesi are both books where you have no idea what the fuck is going on in them for ½ of the book and even when you finish you are left with a lot of questions + they both have unreliable narrators

***spoilers for A Desolation Called Peace and Harrow the Ninth (and amce + gtn):

When I ranked the 2020 Hugo nominations I ranked A Memory Called Empire above Gideon the Ninth because Mahit and Three Seagrass kissed and I was salty that Gideon and Harrow didn’t (ok they kindaa did. sue me). Anyway, in Desolation Called Peace Mahit and Three Seagrass actually had sex, so in that they are still beating griddlehark. Though to be fair, they never shared a body sooooo... Griddlehark is winning there. Thankfully I didn’t have to compare Teixcalaan and tlt in this list because I don’t know which I would choose this time.

#my rankings #if I get terminology wrong I am sorry I am doing my best #the relentless moon #piranesi #network effect #the city we became #black sun #harrow the ninth #I don't know if anyone will read this but I need to get my thoughts together lmao #2021 hugo nominations #books #tlt #adcp
