Warnings: none, g/n reader, just a short something about Astarion's smooches 🖤
At first, Astarion’s kisses are passionate, intense and…clinical. His hands roaming up and down your body, his tongue impatiently caressing yours – all serve a purpose. His body moves with surgical precision, coaxing pathetic sounds out of you, making your body feel as heavy as a lead by the time he places himself above you. There is nothing remotely tender and genuine about them – pure passion at best, but realistically all a ruse. It wasn’t obvious at first, but each subsequent kiss proves your gut feeling to be correct. When he senses your hesitation, his touch becomes more persistent, yet there is no variance in his movements, and you wonder if the consummate lover of yours knows how to stop performing. Or if he even wants to.  
Then his kisses grow wary. Hesitant. Timid. Feather-Light. Clumsy. They feel like kisses of young love. Unpracticed, nervous. Tender. You can’t help yourself but zealously indulge in him, eagerly leading the shared moments those times. Each kiss is breathy, each tender caress leaves him trembling and gasping. He’s not leading now – he is all acceptance. He purrs into you one second and twitches away the next one. Yet his affections somehow linger inside you now. His unexpressed feelings linger between you.
The man is a menace. The kiss he gives you before the battle knocks out all the air out of your lungs – it’s desperate, longing and doesn’t in the least lack sincerity now. His lips the contrast of cool and soft. His embrace – anything short of calculated or clinical. Seeing the streams of tears on your cheeks prompts him to change it into a loud and absurd smooch accompanied by loud theatrical “Mwah”s to coax the nervous relieved giggles out of you. He still cannot stop performing, since what you see in his eyes is a crystal-clear reflection of your own worries and fears, yet he is still putting the most radiant smile on his face he can muster. And for once you’re grateful for it, feeling your lips slightly tugging up when you face him again.

The Astrology of Wealth, Success, Abundance and Prosperity⭐️
The poll isn’t quite over yet, but here is a post I think is a wonderful theme right now! Enjoy 💫
Tumblr media
1) Jupiter is of course going to be the first planet associated with these themes being the planet of luck, wealth, and good fortune. Jupiter denotes areas of growth and expansion that we are blessed with and destined for.
Jupiter bestows divine blessings.
What to look for in the chart:
•Jupiter in the 2nd house/8th house, or conjunct any angles (1st/4th/7th/12th)
If Jupiter is placed in either the 2nd house of finance, or the 8th house of wealth, then there is greater potential for the individual to attain financial prosperity and success. The 2nd house will bring more opportunities to align with financial growth and abundance, whereas the 8th house will bring opportunities to network with others and expand ones wealth through the intimate interactions with others, i.e, being a financial advisor or accountant. These are great placements for financial abundance and can assist one with financial goals. Often times, these people will end up retiring early or be on a path to greater financial freedom and independence much easier. The universe blesses the finances here and supports financial growth much easier. If Jupiter is conjunct the angles, there is an increased likelihood of being recognized for opportunities. Jupiter on the 1st house can easily bring about recognition and the way these people interact with the world is expansive, they are able to create connections anywhere and may be blessed with a pleasing and inviting appearance as well that makes others want to engage with and assist. If Jupiter is on the 4th house, then it brings support from loved ones and the person will feel supported and blessed by the universe. This is likely a state of being that just feels natural, and the individual will feel like they are being supported no matter what, and this of course can be amplified by the sign and other aspects. If Jupiter were in the 7th house, the individual would feel that they are blessed in relationships. The closer to the 7th house cusp, the better as this will greatly increase the potential for supportive relationships--the kind that would take care of you if you were in need. These individuals may be able to influence others easily and should make sure to network whenever possible as this will benefit the themes of wealth, abundance, success and prosperity greatly. if Jupiter were in the 10th house/conjunct the Midheaven this could lend very well to public recognition and the chances of succeeding later in life are greatly supported. There is a potential to become wise with the ability to offer services to others and give generously. This is a great placement for entrepreneurial pursuits as it indicates that opportunities for career advancement will come easier. Networking with this placement is important as it will open up opportunities for expansion in terms of success and achievements.
I have Jupiter in my 3rd house conjunct my Cancer 4th house and I have really been able to build a community here for the last 10 years through my writing which I am so thankful for. 💫🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽
• Any conjunctions being made with Jupiter
When Jupiter is making any conjunction to planets, whether major or minor--there is an increase of potential for Jupiter to expand that planets energies. If it be with Venus--there is an increase of potential for loving, supportive and positive relationships--even popularity depending on the sign, house and other aspects. If it be with Pluto, this typically allows Jupiter to help the individual grow through and overcome major challenges in a much easier manner. There is a great potential for wealth to come from this conjunction as it seeks to expand past the limitations of oneself in every way--especially materially. If it be with Mercury, the individual can easily find innate wisdom to draw upon for inspiration, divine guidance and ideas. These people have the potential to be great speakers and make excellent healers as well if Mercury is placed in a sign such as Gemini or Virgo.
• Jupiter being in domicile or exaltation
If Jupiter is domicile--in its home sign of Sagittarius, in Pisces (traditional ruler), or in Cancer (exalted placement), then this will denote extra strength to Jupiter and bring blessings and abundance in a much easier manner. In Sagittarius, wealth is present and expands everywhere and to everything. In Pisces, there is an abundance of divine guidance and inspiration that leaves the person feeling in alignment with the universe most of their life. In Cancer, there is an endless amount of support from loved ones and an energy of being supported and taken care of by the universe. By default, Jupiter will also enjoy being in the houses ruled by these signs--so the 4th house, the 9th house and the 12th house. These Jupiter placements often have a sense of being divinely guided and supported and as such there is an innate trust in life that can manifest wonderfully.
⭐️Celebrity Mention: Shakira - Jupiter in the 2nd house in Taurus trine 10th house Mercury and Mars in Capricorn (exalted Mars)
• Jupiter transits being made to planets or angles
If Jupiter is moving over the angles or is making a prominent aspect to an inner or outer planet, then blessings typically follow in whatever manner the two planets may most easily express themselves. If Jupiter is moving over the 1st house ascendant, then the individual will be received more easily and may form connections with others through the energy of Jupiter. That is to say, that by cultivating a demeanor kindness, openness and generosity Jupiter will bestow blessings and enable the individual to experience greater satisfaction in whatever way will most easily and readily manifest. If Jupiter is moving over the natal 10th house midheaven, then there is increased visibility for the individual and the chance to be recognized and rewarded for one's talents or skills. There may also be the chance to expand the career endeavors and greater potential for success and achievements. If Jupiter were to be moving over the natal Mars, then the individual will find themselves being much more active and motivated toward goals and there is greater ambition and drive. If there is even a trine being made from transiting Jupiter to the natal planets, there is a greater possibility that the individual will experience abundance and opportunities. If that trine were to Venus, then networking and cultivating relationships would become a way for opportunities to manifest. Any positive aspects from transiting Jupiter to the natal chart will bring about increased abundance when the energy is connected with.
2) The 2nd house & 8th house are the astrological houses of finances and wealth, respectively. Wealth can be generated in both houses, but there is a material balance that needs to be upheld. That is to say, wealth is better maintained here when the individual is also using it to the benefit of those around them.
Wealth and financial prosperity are ever-present opportunities here.
What to look for in the chart:
• Planets in either house, especially Venus, Jupiter or Pluto
With any planet placed here, especially the ones mentioned above (as Venus & Pluto are the natural rulers of the houses), there is an increased potential for financial prosperity and success to be experienced. By using the energy of the planet placed in the houses, the individual may be able to experience more abundance, luck and opportunities. If it be Venus, then through relationships, a strong value system, aesthetics and feminine receptivity, the individual has a greater potential for wealth to be generated. There is often a relationship that benefits the individual in a financial sense and enables them to live comfortably. This could mean through union with another person, such as marriage, a living situation, or even a sugar mama/daddy kinda thing. Venus likes the energy of living with ease, and when it comes to finances, the same energy will apply, and financial prosperity will manifest much easier. If Venus is in detriment or fall, such as in Aries/Scorpio, or Virgo, then financial prosperity is still a potential, but it may be something that inherently feels tied to self-worth and the individual may spend a lot of time and effort proving their worth. The key here is to relax and let go of attachment to outcome and focus on what it is you love and enjoy. Now, if Jupiter be in the 2nd or 8th house, then again, the potential for wealth is much greater and financial opportunities will present themselves easier and more frequently in life. If Jupiter is in the 2nd house, the key is to be open and generous in the realm of finance. In the 8th house, it's similar but there is more of a need to do good in terms of how money and finances are used. This is the house of others' finances, and this placement has the potential to use the resources of others in a not-so-great way, this is the lower end of the spectrum. On the better end, this is a placement of generosity that bestows an ability to help and assist others financially, such as mentorship. If Pluto is in either house, there is a need to be mindful and conscious of how money, resources, and finances are being used. This is because Pluto is the planet of the unconscious, and hidden motives. So, using financial resources in a way that contributes in a beneficial way to everyone involved is ideal. I say everyone because the 2nd-8th houses both involve others. Nonetheless, the capacity for wealth is increased very powerfully and the individual can be a strategist, capable of understanding the ways to utilize resources and constantly planning ways and methods to reach financial goals. There is great determination and drive here.
• Transits being made into the 2nd or 8th house of the natal chart or solar/lunar return charts
Transits here can help pinpoint financial opportunities and ways finances may shift or be affected. Let's say that transit Pluto is moving through the natal 2nd house. This could be an indication that finances are changing and undergoing a transition. It could be intense and life altering for sure but will ultimately be for the greater good. Now, this can apply in the natal chart or in the return charts--even in the progressed chart if you want to really dig deep. Transits being made into these houses in any of the charts indicate a shift in finances and by utilizing the energy of the planet, you will be able to bring about the highest outcome. Now, let's say that Jupiter is transiting the natal 2nd house--okay sure, you have an increased potential for financial abundance, but how do you actually manifest it? Well, look to the house in the natal chart or even the solar or lunar return chart to see where Jupiter is placed at. If it's placed in your natal 7th house, then hone in on your ability to connect with others. Start surrounding yourself with people you admire and people you know will support you. By doing this, you are using the natural energies present within the chart and they will better manifest themselves in whatever way transit Jupiter wants them to. Now, let's say that Uranus is transiting the natal 8th house, this will be a time that you may easily experience lapses in financial judgment. There is greater risk of assets and resources not being handled well here. By tuning into the energy of Uranus within the natal chart--and even the solar return chart or progressed chart--you will be able to better understand how the energy wants to manifest into your life. So, to sum this paragraph up, pay attention to the natural positions of the planets in the natal chart to better navigate and understand the transits being made into the 2nd and 8th houses. These transits can be tricky at first, but by using the knowledge of what is already known about the planet, i.e., the position in the natal and solar return charts--it will manifest better results.
3) The 10th house is the astrological house of success and connects to the energy of prosperity that comes from disciplined and consistent efforts toward ones goals.
Whatever it touches will manifest in the long-term.
What to look for in the chart:
•Planets in the 10th house, especially the Sun, Venus, Jupiter or Saturn
Whenever there are planets such as the ones above in the natal 10th house, in the solar return or even in the progressed chart, there is increased potential for material success. If it be the Sun, then the individual will experience a greater sense of satisfaction in career as well as recognition. This is typically a placement of fame. If it be Venus, there is the likelihood that career opportunities for advancement will come easier and be made manifest through the help of others, i.e., networking and building relationships. This placement may find that they leave old careers on generally good terms and end up being able to connect with others in the realm of career easily. If it be Jupiter, then there is the potential to really expand the horizons and dream BIG. Individuals with this placement are destined to succeed and they are supported by the universe when it comes to material achievements and successes. If Saturn is in the 10th house, being the natural position for Saturn, this brings the potential to remain disciplined through the process of achievement. Often, these individuals manifest great success later in life and will have cultivated a lot of wisdom and resources. Many celebrities have 10th house placements. If the 10th house is prominent in the natal chart, or if it is prominent in the solar return--or even progressed chart, the energies of material success are amplified and the potential for prosperity is inherent.
⭐️Celebrity Mention: Leonardo DiCaprio - 10th house Saturn, his Oscar came at a much later time than we all expected, but it was well earned and solidified his sense of success and achievement I'm sure.
•Transits being made into the 10th house of the natal chart and/or solar & lunar return charts
Transits being made into the 10th house can help pinpoint career opportunities and opportunities in general for success to manifest. Let's say that Mars is transiting the natal 10th house, this can indicate that there is more drive and ambition present manifest goals. This could be incredibly helpful in terms of acting as a motivating force and success will often come in some form or shape.
✨Pro tip (as mentioned previously): Look to where the natural position is of the transiting planet within the natal chart to better understand how the transit wants to manifest individually
4) The North Node. Arguably the most prominent point in the chart that denotes an individuals life experience, this is the point of destiny. It is what we are fated to experience in this life, as granted by the stars.
What to look for in the chart:
• The North Node conjunct any planet
This is important as it plays a key role in the development of an individual. If success is being sought out, ultimately it will have to face the energy of the North Node. Whatever touches the North Node becomes prominent in the life experience and there will be a calling toward that life theme. Say that the North Node is conjunct Mars. This indicates that the individual is destined for self-expression and to live passionately. They will be incredibly driven and motivated to achieve whatever it is they are after and will be supported through this with strength and determination.
• The house position and the ruling planet of the north node
This is going to be important as it pretty much sums up the area/s of your life that will have a lasting impact because it is fated to be experienced. Furthermore, by looking to the ruler of the North Node and any aspects it is making, there can be a greater understanding of the ways in which one can thrive.
If the North Node is in the 5th house in Libra, then where are the Sun and Venus at and are they making any notable aspects?
⭐️Celebrity Mention: Beyoncé Knowles- Cancer North Node in the 10th house at 29 degrees conjunct Leo Mars. She was very much destined for fame and recognition. The ruling planet of her North Node is the Moon and is Scorpio in her 2nd house, this indicates she has been able to live very comfortably as a result, but it took overcoming many personal challenges surrounding her self-worth.
• Transits being made to the North Node
By observing transits being made to the North Node, there is a greater potential to come into alignment with one’s purpose which can contribute to success. Let’s say that transit Venus is on the natal or solar return North Node, it could indicate a transition within social circles and relationships, it could also indicate a time of financial support. If the planet transiting the North Node happens to be Uranus, it could pin point a turning point in life and a redirection or repurpose. It could be said that we do not have a singular purpose, but rather our purpose shifts over the course of our lives. This transit in particular could represent a changing of one’s purpose for sure. Remember that the outer planets transit over angles and points much longer than the inner planets, so the transits bring results over a longer period of time. Remember that transits can be used for making predictions and should be used if you want to time something astrologically!
So that’s that! I hope you enjoyed and found this insightful!
As always, I offer natal chart readings, solar return chart readings, and lunar return chart readings if you would like me to dissect your chart for you. I can tell you all about how to bring success and abundance into your life! ✨
If you have any questions I am here! Have a great rest of your day and week. Happy Lions Gate 🌅❤️‍🔥
Remember to enjoy this cosmic journey, and know you’re doing just fine 💫

hi, since i saw you asking for requests, could you, pretty, pretty please, draw The Lion King screenshot that you shared (the one with Scar and the mouse) but with Raphael and the cute mouse from your drawing of Raphael with his crown?
I'm glad to try. I think Raphael could have turned Tav into a mouse (before killing the hero, of course) if Tav hadn't given the crown to the Devil.

Snow’s more likeable in the movie. And you know what I think it is?
Coriolanus’ actions are clearly self-serving in the book, where you can hear his thoughts. But in the movie, you can’t hear his thoughts. So you, the audience, get manipulated by the Snow Charm.
I feel like since we’re in Coriolanus’ head for the entire book, it’s kind of easy (or it was for me) to be like, “why does Lucy Gray love him at all?” He so obviously is doing everything for his own interests, even the things that are beneficial to her.
But then that’s the thing. Lucy Gray’s not in his head. And she’s fresh, I mean fresh, off of Billy Taupe, family-lover, stabbing her in the back and stomping on her heart and getting her shipped off to die a nightmarish death. So she’s in this place of unbelievable hurt and vulnerability, not just because of her circumstances, but because of what one guy did to the heart he should’ve been protecting.
And then in waltzes a blonde-and-blue hero who is not only willing to treat her like a human being and help her survive, but also?? He’s starving too?? He can relate to her? He can understand her? And believe in her? And protect her at great personal risk?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
At least. That’s all she knows is happening, because she doesn’t know his life or his circumstances. She can’t see the inside of his brain, or everything he stands to lose if he loses her. So to her, all of his actions after their meeting are just the right medicine for her recently-crippled heart.
Tumblr media
“pure as the driven snow” is not just a clever play on words from a good songwriter. Lucy Gray genuinely admires him for being that. He fed her, got to know her, washed her mother’s dress, gave her his mother’s compact, stood up for her against the Capitol’s prejudices against non-Capitol citizens, believed in her, lost everything for her, and came to find her.
Tumblr media
From inside his head, we know he did a lot of that because he had no choice, or because he stood to gain something. But from outside his head, Coriolanus Snow looks like he’s loving Lucy Gray out of the purity of his heart. He looks like he’s everything Lucy Gray needs.
(I also think that Tom Blyth played him with, and Mitchell Lesslie/Michael Arndt, wrote Movie Snow to have a little more genuine attachment to Lucy Gray and vulnerability than the Book Snow had, and Rachel Zegler played Movie Lucy Gray/the writers wrote Movie Lucy Gray to be less broken, and less wholeheartedly-believing in Snow than Book Lucy Gray was for most of the story. But that’s beside my current point.)

We focus a lot on Aziraphale’s kindness in giving away his sword, but Adam and Eve make a really interesting choice there too. Because they’re no longer being chased out by an angel with a flaming sword. They have the sword. And sure, the angel probably has other ways to kick them out if they won’t leave. Maybe, fresh off God’s wrath, they know better than to try.
Or maybe, having tasted the fruit of knowledge, they realize they’re starving. Maybe they peer out the hole and see a vast and frightening and beautiful world, and they have to have all of it — lions included. Maybe it looks like a desert, maybe the first few steps are terrifying, but maybe they now have the power to create the world they want to live in (to be like God, knowing good and evil). Maybe they don’t want to stay in their safe, tiny little Eden. Maybe they want to be out.
So anyway, when Crowley and Aziraphale leave the bookshop-

"Become Illithid. You've seen what I can do. Join me."
Oh I saw.
I saw you fail two attacks and then daintily float away. You didn't do shit in this fight. Bugger off.
