What Does Your Future Spouse’s Dark Side Look Like? — [♡] ;

☆ ミ book a personal reading with me ☆彡

Pile One ༣

Cards: The Sun, The Moon, Queen of Wands, King of Cups, The Fool, The World, Strength, Seven of Cups, Five of Cups

Your Future Spouse seems to hold in a lot of emotion. It seems like they have a side of them that’s shown to the public/those around them and a side to them that they keep to themselves. The side that others see is very self assured, stoic, hard working, straight forward, etc. and there’s another side of them with insecurity, doubt, fear, etc. that they hide from others and I think they also try to neglect that side of them themselves. They struggle with feeling invalid and unworthy but refuse to open up to those around them. It’s like they don’t even give themselves the option of vulnerability or true connection with others out of fear of rejection. They’re afraid others will reject them the way they’ve rejected themselves for so long. They are their own biggest critic and are very harsh on themselves.

They seem to be empathetic towards others and incredibly understanding of others and their situations. They might be an older sibling or just seen as a mentor or parental figure to others. They seem very wise but may struggle with connection with others. I’m hearing “tolerate it” by Taylor Swift. They may unknowingly neglect the needs and emotions of those around them because of this lack of vulnerability on their side. They do care and are an incredibly caring and emotional person but their inability to meet others have way and connection in a real and emotional way is a huge blockage for them in their personal relationships.

I do believe they will overcome and work through this before you meet them but it will take some time. I think their love and dedication to those around them will be the driving force behind this change in them.

Pile Two ༣

Cards: The Hermit, Five of Wands, Page of Wands, Page of Pentacles, Six of Wands, Queen of Pentacles, The Sun, The Chariot, The Lovers, Five of Wands, Three of Pentacles

It seems your future spouse comes from a very long and difficult history of abuse. Possibly very extreme abuse and they could be in therapy for it. They may have had to move out and pave their own way at a very young age or were possibly in foster care until they aged out of it. They’ve had to struggle through a lot on their own, though and build a life for themselves. It does seem they’ve built a very good life for themselves, though. I think they could be business owners or something like that. For some of you, they may own a tattoo or barber shop.

Your future spouse may be very friendly, social and kind but I think very few know what they’ve actually been through. I think they have a select few very close friends that they trust and that probably knew them as a child when they were experiencing the trauma they went through. Your future spouse may struggle with mental health and go through periods of time where they isolate themselves. If they own a business they may take time away from work during these periods of isolation and they just stay home. I do believe they have a very good support system that helps them out of this place, though.

I also think they have other ways of coping with their struggles like going to the gym, possibly meditating outside and walking. Being near large bodies of water also seems to help them. It may remind them of a childhood memory that was good. Possibly camping at a lake or maybe they lived near a body of water. For some of you, your future spouse may be Scottish. That was oddly specific but came in randomly lol.

Overall, your future spouse seems to be very kind and warm to anyone they meet and most of the time they seem to come off very happy and extroverted but they do struggle with past trauma and mental health and they fall into periods of deep depression and isolation that they may struggle to get out of but they have a good support system and good coping mechanisms that they utilize to pull themselves out of these difficult places.

Pile Three ༣

Cards: Eight of Swords, Ten of Swords, Page of Wands, Seven of Swords, King of Pentacles, The Chariot, The Moon, The Fool, Death, Five of Pentacles, The Magician, Knight of Wands, Queen of Swords, Two of Cups, Knight of Swords

I think your future spouse is their own worst enemy. They hold themselves back from so much. They’re bad about self sabotaging and letting their fears and anxieties hold them back from going after what they want. They lose opportunity after opportunity because they take any chance to achieve their goals/dreams away from themselves before anyone else can. They allow the fear of rejection or failure to keep them in this box where there’s no room for growth or development.

I think they have friends/family around them that consistently lift them up and encourage them to go after what they want and I think that encouragement work for a short period of time but they always immediately start tearing themselves down and erasing any progress those around them have made on their self confidence and assurance in themselves. They give themselves no opportunity for growth or change and honestly may have a sort of victim mindset where they blame their lack of growth or forward movement on their circumstances or “lack of opportunity”.

I think this will change for them though because I think a friend or family member, possibly a male friend or older brother? Will sit them down and be brutally honest them and that’s really what your Future Spouse needs. I think once their own illusions are broken down, they’ll finally see that the sky really is the limit for them and they have so much opportunity and potential for growth and expansion in all aspects of their life. It will take a lot of time and failure before they get to that place, though.

Notes Toward Finding Community, Or, How to Find Community When You Feel Isolated

Neoliberalism sucks for a ton of reasons. From the enclosure of every common, to the commodification of every creation, it feels like a muzzle on humanity that gets tighter and tighter. One of the most underexplored aspects of neoliberalism is the way in which it creates and reinforces isolation. People don’t really have communities outside of consumption or compulsion. This is problematic for a ton of reasons, namely that it prevents us from fulfilling our basic needs. Humans are social creatures. People need to have connections with folks. People may not all need the same levels or intensity of connections, but connections are important nonetheless. To lack in the ability to socialize meaningfully is to ensure worse health outcomes, mentally, emotionally, and physically. But, I don’t mean to freak you out. I think that there are steps we can take to star building community, bridging gaps with the people around us.

Think About What You Want

When folks feel very isolated, it can be easy to accept anything. If we’re in a vulnerable state, that could leave us open for ending up in precarious situations. One way to fight against this is to start from the position of imagining what community looks like. Is the type of space we want to occupy based around interests (fandom, hobbies)? Religions, spiritualities, social issues? If we are able to list the things that excite us, we have a good idea of what to look for, and can focus our efforts towards finding those spaces.

Find the Watering Holes

With the spaces we’re interested in on hand, youcan find where folks gather. Every community has virtual and/or in-person spaces. For example, if you’re a film fan, you can look for indie cinemas, folks putting on screenings, or look into film societies where you live. For activism, I’ve written a whole guide on how to get started. Looking for those spaces will allow you to start getting integrated in the space. Really think about how you can occupy the same physical and digital spaces of people who are into what you’re into.

Go Meet Folks

Now, this may be difficult, depending on your disposition. The quickest way to meet folks is to put yourself out there. It’s always vulnerable to put yourself on the line in this way, but it’s super necessary. When you’re in spaces with similar folks, you have talking points built in! You don’t have to worry if the folks around you will like movies at film club. If you are enjoyable to be around, through being nice, interesting, and/or being an active listener, you’ll be making connections in no time. If you’re not willing to talk to folks, it’ll be hard to make connections. Being open is an asset towards the end of getting connected. At the very least, consistently go to events and spaces in your interest area(s). Maybe you’ll bump into an extroverted person that can show you the ropes.

Be the Change You Want to See

As you get out there, think about how you can start catalyzing community. Maybe you host a dinner for neighbors. Maybe you start a book club. Or even a neighborhood garden, or cleanup event. In this way, you’re flipping the issue on its head. You’re creating the space to meet folks yourself. It’s like being a magnet, drawing others to you.

We need community. It’s a necessary thing, you know? So, hopefully, keeping these things in mind helps in that regard.

So, fun detail I just noticed about Megamind:

Famously, throughout the film Megamind mispronounces certain words, most notably: "hello" ("olo"), "Metro City" ("Metrocity") and "school" ("shool").

Like many fans, I'd attributed this and other oddities— like not knowing what a window is— to his unconventional upbringing and general social isolation. His speech sounds a lot like the way people pronounce words that they've only seen written down, so maybe he just hasn't had enough practice talking to other people out loud.

Lovely theory, very angsty, makes sense that this would be what the film-makers intended.

Except…

You know who doesn't seem to have this problem with pronunciation? And who in fact attempts to correct Megamind's pronunciation of various words more than any other character?

Fucking Minion.

Minion was there for literally every step of Megamind's childhood. They were raised on Earth together and went through seemingly the exact same experiences. Yet somehow Minion came out the other end knowing how to answer the phone and what a window is and why people use codes, while Megamind didn't.

And I am just so fascinated as to why.

Top three theories:

1. Megamind isn't actually mispronouncing words due to lack of practice, but rather for some other reason.

Maybe there's something up with his ability to hear certain sounds, or his alien anatomy makes it harder to pronounce them. Maybe he's neurodivergent (I mean, he definitely is, but maybe that fact is affecting his speech).

2. Megamind is mispronouncing things due to lack of practice, but there's something about Minion that makes him need less practice to pick up new languages.

Possibly as part of their protective role, his species has advanced language acquisition programmed in so they can act as translators. Else, while Minion and Megamind landed on Earth together, it's not 100% clear whether they were actually at the same age/developmental stage when that happened. If Minion was an adult (or older child) when he became fluent in English, he might have consciously focused more on accurate pronunciation than Megamind did.

3. Megamind is mispronouncing things due to lack of practice, but Minion is getting more practice than him.

This is… honestly the theory with the most evidence behind it. Like, we know that Minion isn't in jail at the start of the film, so he's clearly mot spending the same amount of time in solitary confinement that Megamind is.

He also appears to be in charge of providing Megamind with the resources needed to carry out his plans, which would presumably require him to communicate with scrap merchants, crocodile breeders and Romanian outlet store owners (among others) on the regular.

And like… if he's not getting thrown in jail whenever Megamind does, and Megamind is spending a fair amount of time on the inside, then Minion has to be doing something to pass the time. He's clearly a bit of an extrovert, and seems to take more pleasure in interacting with people than Megamind does.

It seems unlikely that he'd spend all his time sitting in the Evil Lair waiting for Megamind contact him or escape. So what does he do?

I find it both sweet and hilarious to imagine that Minion actually does have his own social circle outside of Megamind.

Minion goes to DnD on the second Tuesday of every month.

Minion gets advice on making costumes for Megamind from his weekly sewing circle.

Minion has been going to university online for the past eight years and is currently working towards his PhD in Marine Biology.

Minion is a semi-regular at Metrocity Night Clubs.

Minion does volunteer work sometimes with kids at the Metrocity hospital.

Megamind has barely any idea about any of this. Like, he knows Minion goes places at various times.

He knows that when he's rampaging through the streets Minion will sometimes stop to wave hello to various people that Megamind has never met. He's seen the half-orc paladin costume that Minion made for DnD.

But he's never really asked about it, and Minion has never seen the need to tell him. So long as Minion's happy, Megamind's happy, and so long as Megamind's happy, Minion is happy.

Meanwhile Roxanna, post-movie, has to grapple with the fact that sometimes she'll go to visit her boyfriend only for him to ask if they can go out for dinner instead because Minion's book club is meeting in the Evil Lair, and he's been gently encouraged not to come back after what he said to Helen about her (wrong) opinions on To Kill A Mockingbird.

Woops I Accidentally Character Studied Michael Shelley...

I actually did this a while ago, but all of you are being subjected to it now as well

HERE WE GO!!

I think Michael was the person who always wanted to be an extrovert and had the social skills to be one (he may have even considered himself an extrovert, who knows)- always bubbly, happy, didn’t mind talking to people- but he lacked a certain sense of self that most extroverts have. We don’t know much about his home life, but I feel like he must have come from some sort of environment where he was always told to do this and this and this by people without them earning his trust in return, so we’re left with this person who doesn’t know the proper way to really connect with people and question them when he feels like he’s been wronged and who is, in short, easy to manipulate. He was so used to relying on people his whole life that he didn’t have to get used to the idea of actually making a whole lot of decisions for himself.

Okay okay and because I sold my soul to gerrymichael, you get the part two to this as well (featuring a bit of Gerry character study as well)

Gerry is a good contrast to this because he’s a person who is similar enough in that he’s trapped in this calling that started with Mary Keay, but is altogether still a more independent person than Michael in most ways because he’s been trying so long to break out of his mom’s sphere of influence. I think that, were they to meet in canon, they would probably start out quite a bit at odds just because they were so different from eachother and so they might not have actually been initially inclined to be friends, but I think that Michael was probably a little bit lonely. He was purposely kept in the dark about a lot of things at the institute, and I think he may have been a bit drawn to Gerry because he was another loner in the institute staff. Eventually they would hang out and I think once they started to open up to each other, Michael would say things and Gerry would be like “Eyo??? That’s sort of not cool of your coworkers? You can stand up for yourself, you know that, right?” And they would just have a lot of conversations like that which would slowly make Michael think more and more and see exactly how isolated he’s being kept from the archive staff and it leads to a new sense of identity that lets him become more of his own person before he and Gertrude go to Sannikovya SO THAT HE CAN REALISE HOW HE'S BEING USED AND MANAGE TO STOP THE GREAT TWISTING WITH GERTRUDE WITHOUT SACRIFICING HIMSELF AND GOING THROUGH THE DOOR

What are your thoughts on how an extroverted, confident, energetic MC would be with Muriel as an LI? (🪶)

Thank you for the ask, Feather Anon! I’ve been itching to do some creative writing outside of my story, so I hope you don’t mind that I’m writing this more like a short story/narrative style post.

Summary:

You command the room when you walk in, and everyone takes notice. He loves that about you; being riddled with constant social anxiety himself, it’s nothing short of a relief for Muriel to see that you don’t have to deal with it yourself. (Besides, it doesn’t hurt that it takes the attention off of him.)

He’s just worried that you’ll feel isolated and alone if you move in with him.

It’s exactly a month after the defeat of Lucio and The Devil, and everyone had gathered to celebrate together in the Rowdy Raven. He tries to stick to a corner in the back, but he is far too large and conspicuous to avoid the attention for long. Some people stare, others are braver and approach him to exchange a few words and express thanks. Muriel wants nothing more than to melt into a puddle. He appreciates not being looked at like he was still the Scourge, thankful that people weren’t afraid of him anymore. But the only reason he was here was to see you. You had been busy helping with repairs in the city while Muriel helped those still lingering in the camp outside his home, and hadn’t had much time to really talk or interact for the past week.

“You all didn’t start without me now, did you?” Your voice rings out as you stride in, and Muriel slumps back against the wall with relief. He watches some of the crowd clamor to get your attention as Julian passes you a beer stein, giving him room to breathe.

You look a little tired, he notices, but your face is practically glowing. Your eyes meet across the room and you light up even further, drawing a slight smile from Muriel’s otherwise stoic expression. He loves your smile. Immediately you chug your drink and begin pushing through the crowd, exchanging short words with a few other people before you finally reach him. He doesn’t even have the time to say ‘hello’ before you throw your arms around him in a tight hug that he quickly returns.

“God, I missed you so much.” You groan, tilting your head back to look up at him. Muriel lifts his hand, cradling your face gently in his large palm as he dips down to kiss your forehead—silently telling you he missed you just as much. “I didn’t have any time to visit this week and it was killing me, actually.” You stretch up on your toes and loop your arms around his neck, filling him in on all the little things he’d missed. Stuffy nobles complaining that they weren’t getting their homes repaired sooner, and Nadia putting them in their place. Helping Portia and the other kitchen staff with preparing food for all the displaced citizens. Julian and Asra, busy with healing and helping reunite separated families and friends.

He listens to you ramble on with a soft smile, and follows as you take his arm and lead him to the bar. “—but now I think I’ll have a lot of down time, which means I can spend more time with you.” Muriel’s smile widens a little more at that, and he can feel his face warm up when you shoot him a wink. Yeah, he knows what that means all too well. “Hey Lavinia, let’s get a round of black mead for everyone!” You call across the bar, knocking your hand against the wood loudly. “And put it on Jules’ tab!”

“Wait what—?”

A short laugh breaks past Muriel’s lips at Julian’s indignant squawk, and he catches a shit-eating grin plastered over your face as you settle onto one of the stools. Two mugs of the dark liquor slide across the bar towards you both, Muriel putting his hand out to gently stop them before they fall off and passing one to you. “What did he do to deserve that?” He asks, amused. You hide your smirk with your mug.

“Nothing.” You rest your chin in one hand. “I’ll pay it off myself, his reaction is just funny.”

“That’s a little mean.”

“It is a little mean, yeah.” You laugh, eyes glittering with mirth. The firelight reflects like spots of amber in your eyes, and he’s reminded of that first night. Your worried face and gentle hands cast in the soft glow of the fireplace, and the begrudging step he had taken to trust you just a little. The best decision he’s ever made, really. Muriel reaches forward to brush some stray hairs out of your eyes without thinking.

A few ‘awww’s scattered from the crowd made him flinch and quickly withdraw, his face hot with embarrassment. Muriel hides his burning face with a quick swig from the wooden mug in his hand and turns his back to the crowd quickly. He had been so swept up in the moment that he forgot you both weren’t alone, and many pairs of eyes were on you at any given moment.

Your hand touches the side of his face lightly, reassuring and gentle. Grounding him for a little longer and soothing that surge of anxiety and embarrassment. His eyes flicker in your direction again briefly before he roots his stare on the mug in his hands again. “You want to head back early?” You suggest softly. Muriel lowers his mug. He wants to say yes; he’s by far had his fill of socializing today and just wants to wind down somewhere quiet and familiar. But he hesitates. You only just got here, and he knows how much you enjoy these gatherings. You thrive off of social interactions, would it be selfish for him to ask you to leave so soon?

“We don’t have to.” Muriel finally says, begrudgingly, forcing himself to look back up at you. He can stick it out a little while longer for your sake, just as you’ve done for him before. It’s loud and crowded and his anxiety is already going haywire, and god his head is starting to hurt too. But he can suck it up.

“I really don’t mind going home if you need to.” You reply. He watches your eyes drift past him, your hand waving off someone behind him quickly before your gaze returns to meet his. “I know this isn’t exactly where you’re most comfortable.” That was an understatement if Muriel had ever heard one.

Wait. Go back. Did you say ‘home?’

Gently, you pull him away from the bar, guiding him through the swirling crowd towards the back door. He reaches out to push it open for you, his fingertips lingering on the wood for only a moment before you whisk him down the alleyway to a more secluded spot, away from prying eyes. His eyes widen a little, and he lifts his hand to curl it over the one you cup his cheek with. “You said ‘home.’” Muriel breathes out. Your face softens a little, a smile creeping up on your lips.

You’ve hidden yourselves among some crates stacked up between the buildings, a nearby street lamp casting your faces into wild shadows. “Yeah, I did.” You confirm, moving your hand so that your fingers are twined together now. You dip your head down, kissing the tops of his knuckles with a sweet brush of your lips that sends a jolt of electricity through Muriel’s body. “I’d like to move in with you—if you want, I mean.” You add on quickly.

Muriel’s heart hammers in his chest. “What about the shop?” He asks, his voice a little more breathless than he would’ve liked.

“The shop is a little bit crowded these days—” Right, Julian had moved in. Muriel tries (and fails) to resist the urge to make a face at the thought of the doctor living with Asra. “—and I’m not exactly selling anything right now either.” You continue, tilting your head to the side just a little. “And it’s so far from your place.”

“My place is also far from everything else.” He points out quietly. Muriel wants nothing more than for you to move in with him, to make that little hut feel more like a little home. But would it be too far from Vesuvia, and all your friends? Would you be happy, or would you start to feel isolated and alone?

“I know.” You guide him out of his thoughts with a soft voice and a gentle squeeze of his hand. “And I’m okay with that.” He searches your gaze, finding only love and warmth, and that gleam of pure conviction he knows so well. His shoulders relax just a little bit and his thumb rubs along the back of your hand idly while he listens. “It isn’t really all that long of a walk to get to the city. It just feels… It just feels too far from you.” You smile up at him and he practically melts, lips twitching up into a faint smile.

“I want you to be happy.” Muriel confesses softly. He brings his other hand up to envelope yours in his large and calloused palm.

“And I’m happy whenever I’m with you.” You stretch up on your toes, and he leans down just a little to meet you halfway, stealing a soft and sweet kiss—thankfully, without anyone around to see. Muriel sneaks a glance around just to double check before he wraps his arms around you and pulls you in closer, one steady hand at your waist and the fingers of his other twined gently through your hair. He can feel your hands rest against his chest for a moment before you reach up to hold his face in your ever-gentle hands.

He pulls away just slightly, your warm breath mingling with his against the cool night air. “I love you.” Muriel murmurs, and the corners of his eyes crinkle with a smile. He moves his hand to brush an errant lock of hair out of your eyes, studying them. Muriel wasn’t one for eye contact, but it was so easy for him to get lost in your eyes. They always reflected the light so beautifully, and tonight was no exception; the light of the street lamp mingled with the moonlight, casting your eyes in a contrast of gold and silver.

“I love you too.” You murmur. Your thumb lightly brushes along his cheek and traces along his scar tenderly, sending a soft shiver down his spine. Muriel shifts, his lips meeting the spot just between your eyebrows before he pulls away, his hands resting on your waist. You tilt your head back a little to look up at him, letting your hands settle back on his shoulders before sliding them down his arms and resting them against his biceps, just above his elbows.

“… yeah. I think I’d like to go home now.” He murmurs, finally answering your question from before. Your smile widens a little and you take hold of his hand as you both finally pull away from where you were hidden and start to walk down the street.

Have you seen this french soa "Ici tout commence" ? There's a wlw story going on that's pretty nice! Lots of tropes ! (strangers -> bestfriends -> lovers, the socially anxious introverted x popular extroverted mean girl, fake dating....) If anyone wants to watch their story, you can ask to follow @itsoiise on twitter they have the videos with eng subtitles :) I hope you have a great day !

Hi, yeah, as I briefly mentioned the other day, I am watching it, but still pretty behind.

Instead of just watching a cut of the ship's scenes, I downloaded all the eps from this current season and the provided French closed captioning, and then machine translated those to get English subtitles that mooostly work. Then I just started watching from the first ep.

As usual with soaps, even though I'm usually jumping in for just the ship and will often skim to their parts, I like to know the full context and do eventually get sucked into the rest of the stories, so at this point I've finished Teyssier's flareup, the Lionel/Kelly/Malik/Ambre love square, just completed the David abuse story, and am now fully entering the Carla pregnancy arc. That's in November, so I still have about three more months to catch up to.

I'm surprised you mentioned fake dating for Carla and Berenice too, since she's right now in the middle of fake dating Souleymane! But please don't give me any other spoilers, I know that currently, as in right now in February, there's a lot going on with them but I've blacklisted everything so I'm actually staying pretty spoiler-free, except knowing there is activity, or at least there was on Berenice's side, that's about how much I picked up when this first popped up on my radar.

But anyway, so I love them already! Their friendship really is a perfect mix of opposites attract, like you said, the confident mean girl and the socially anxious introvert, but like any great relationship, that's just a fraction of their dynamic.

Carla being so outgoing and without any respect for boundaries that she quickly bulldozed through Berenice's, who would have never reached out first, while Berenice being so quiet is what made Carla unthreatened enough to seek her out and let her in, that's how their differences put them together but what's kept them together are all their similarities. Berenice's no doormat and her light sarcasm and humor and willingness to call Carla out are actually what make Carla really like her, and it's Carla's very occasional kindness (mostly drawn out by and for Berenice) that made her reassure Berenice at the very start and convince her to stay.

Each makes the other a better person; Carla pushes Berenice to be more outgoing and not stuck in her head or her screens so much while Berenice pushes Carla to be nicer and fairer to everyone. If they weren't already a ship I'd be shipping them!

Most of all, they genuinely like each other! It's funny that individually they're both the type to be isolated from the rest of the school, Carla too spoiled and snobby, Berenice too withdrawn, but they get along perfectly. All the contrasting and complementary parts of their personalities makes them always happy to just hang out with each other, on the same wavelength but never boring and predictable. They're just so playful and at ease and comfortable with each other, it's wonderful. :)

I have a grand trine in my chart with Lilith in pisces in the 10th house (my moon is also in pisces exact conjunct my mc still in the 9th), Venus in Scorpio in the 6th house, and Jupiter in Cancer on the border of my 1st &2nd , falling in my first. I’m not sure what this means for me!! I can’t find much info about it!

A grand trine is essentially a gift from the universe. They are fairly rare, so having this aspect makes you quite lucky. Each sign within this major aspects element will work together to increase productivity. A water grand trine is all about emotion and love. You may predict what people are going to say before they even say it, you live in your feelings & these feels are a response from your environment (bad environment= bad mood, good environment=good mood)

I find with your gift specifically it is aimed at ‘inspiring’ others.

For starters, let’s look at each placement that is a part of your grand trine, these placements energies are extra ‘lucky’, So it’s important to acknowledge them as they are part of your gift on this earth & will help you reach fulfilment.

Lilith Pisces 10th House

Here Lilith’s raw energy manifests itself in the public eye, making you more visible to the world. You subconsciously seek popularity and deep down want to be recognised. Your authenticity brings with it a charm that attracts others. You have a passionate desire to succeed which influences others. You may struggle with a sense of responsibility and difficult decision making.

Venus Scorpio 6th House

You have a NEED (not so much a ‘want’ either but you ‘need’ this in order to have a successful union) for intimacy, authenticity, truth and power/control in your relationships with others. You may become dependent on relationships as the 6th house is where you serve others (servant/chores/marriage vibes). You tend to over analyse things that results in having harsh judgements on yourself which is expressed through feelings/emotions instead of thoughts/words. Your one on one relationships have an effect on your health, wellbeing, routine, jobs, productivity, etc; So ensure that you choose wisely when connecting with others.

Jupiter Cancer 1st House

This placement blesses you with a long life, happy family & nice home. Since your Jupiter is in the 1st house/Ascendant, you’ll fill the space of any room you enter with your energy (Jupiter is expansion) which can also make you be seen by others as optimistic, lucky and honest. You understand the world from an emotional perspective, there is a fear of vulnerability in which you may isolate in order to protect yourself, though this can instead limit the positive results of Jupiter.

Now lastly, we get into the trine aspects that your grand trine is made up of.

Lilith Trine Jupiter

-craves freedom

-embraces individuality

-challenges standards

-defy/resist social norms

-unique individual

- great placement for spiritual development

Lilith Trine Venus

-in your darkest times you still shine

-easy to express your raw beauty, sexuality and desires.

-complimented on your edginess & unique style

-you may do things that others receive backlash for and yet you avoid being shunned and/or confronted by anyone for it. (Even though Jupiter isn’t in this aspect it still has a bit of Jupiter’s ‘Luck’ because of the grand trine)

Venus Trine Jupiter

-idealistic, Optimistic and loving person

-you’re an extrovert in your 1 on 1 relationships but need to learn to not be so generous at times.

-When you commit to following your passions & desires, you will then connect with people who can help & support you along the way.

Each of these trines result in you inspiring others, your Moon being conjunct your MC indicates your emotions are connected to your goals & aspirations, they will gain you recognition and encourage/inspire others. You don’t hide them, they’re on show…So in saying this you could really help inspire others by being an influencer of sorts, a writer, empathy/spiritualist, artist, creator, etc. Just by putting your authentic self out there ✨

Your Grand Trine will be here as a tool to help you on any path you take when you’re listening to you HEART & EMOTIONS.

✨✨✨

I hope this helps shed some insight on the major aspect in your chart 🩵 xo

I can't help but pick apart characters I like and resonate with. Where RE is concerned, it's kinda infamous to offer only little insights and tidbits. That personally leaves me to deepdive into fanbase opinions and thought pieces. Anyway, my question is, do have any favourite headcanons about Leon and his lifestyle/personality? :)

My two cents is that he's very introverted and a little bit awkward and lonely. Idk if that's obvious, or maybe you disagree? Just curious, if you'd like to weigh in with anything extra. :)

The thing about Leon is that I don't think he's introverted by nature; I think his emotional breakdown and subsequent depression and drinking problem sort of forced him into that lifestyle. This is for both versions of Leon, too -- Remake and OG. I think that pre-RE2 he was fairly extroverted (OG moreso than Remake, but still both) and would've rather gone out than stay in.

And while his actual nature hasn't changed, his mental health and lifestyle both have. On some level, he'd still prefer to go out than stay in, and he'd rather be with people rather than be alone, but his job keeps him pretty socially isolated, and the depressive part of his brain doesn't have the energy/doesn't want to be bothered with trying to navigate around it, because he also has a newfound sense of paranoia and self-loathing to fight through, too. So his brain just kind of goes "it's not worth it" now.

I think it's gotten worse as he's gotten older, too. OG RE4 Leon still seemed to want to try to hold onto some part of who he was before Raccoon City -- ID Leon, too. But then we start getting into Damnation and then RE6 and then Vendetta, and he just seems to crawl further and further into whatever post-trauma hole he's dug for himself.

Remake Leon is a slightly different beast in that regard; his character arc seems to have been accelerated a bit compared to OG, and he just went straight to the level of cynicism and self-isolation that his OG counterpart doesn't hit until RE6.

He's definitely lonely, though. There's no denying that. Leon exists in a world so far removed from the average person that he probably doesn't even remember how to have a normal conversation anymore.

Could you imagine post-RE4 Leon trying to just like... date normally...? Leon, who was kidnapped and coerced via the threat of violence against a child into his career -- a man who's been completely estranged from his family since 1998 -- just sitting there listening to some girl talk about how her boss is a dick and she's having problems with her sister or something. He's just like "... yeah that sounds... that's crazy :T" He's the personification of can'trelate.jpeg

And the people who do understand him are so physically far from him (I think Chris and Jill still live in Europe, at least for part of the year, if I'm not mistaken) and have their own lives that it's not like he keeps in touch with them very well.

Most of Leon's life probably blurs together, and he has a horrible concept of time as a result. Like, he'll go several years between actually physically seeing/hanging out with Claire, but every time he sees her, he's like "I just saw you last summer" -- but no, he very much did not.

Very few of his days are different from the last. He wakes up, works out, showers, goes to the office, comes home, has a few drinks and dicks around, then goes to sleep. Every day. And he doesn't really do anything much on the weekends, either. He cleans if he can muster the will to do it (fuck it, if not; it's not like he lives with anyone or ever has guests), and then he drinks and dicks around some more. And then the weekend is over. And the cycle repeats.

And when I say "dicks around" I mean that Leon has watched so many movies at this point in his life that he actually could be fun for conversation if he would just pull his head out of his own ass and realize that even normal people have, like, hobbies and interests and shit.

And while I make fun of him for being a dumbass idiot butt monkey all the time, I do genuinely think he reads a lot -- both fiction and nonfiction. Especially once ebooks really start taking off and becoming a thing.

I like to think that the big secret that he'll never tell anyone is that he's a sucker for a good romance. It's not his preferred go-to genre or anything, but every once in a while, he'll self-indulge and live vicariously through a romance story.

This next headcanon is 100% just me projecting, because this is what I did during and after my own breakdown when I still lived on the east coast -- but when he does want to get out of the house, he waits until late at night (like 11pm or later) and then goes and just. Watches the ocean.

And thinks about throwing himself into it. But never does.

#resident evil #leon kennedy #i still do that last one every time i go home lmao

Similarities between Reactive types

4 and 6

Envy, Inadequacy. "The grass is always greener on the other side. That other person is always more competent and capable than me. That other person deserves attention more than me, fuck fuck fuck." 6s are the original Envy type, NOT 4. Read one of my many posts about this.

Conscious fear of abandonment.

Fear of not being good enough, fear of not being chosen as the first option (ties into envy and inadequacy). Both 4 and 6 disintegrate into Image types who are competitive for attention, over-comparing themselves to others, and concerned with being good enough to impress others (4 -> 2 and 6 -> 3).

Needing to be understood, feeling persecuted because everyone misunderstands their inner world of thoughts and feelings, and feeling fragile and anxious and betrayed when they share themselves but are not understood by others. This is true for 8s as well, but the interpersonal neediness is not as conscious with 8s. 4s and 6s are more conscious of their interpersonal neediness than 8s, because they both disintegrate into image types whilst 8 is disintegrating into a head type.

Seeking to understand other people's secret identities and motivations, and reveal these secret identities and motivations to them, as a way of deepening your connection.

Mutual neighbors of 5: will both have 5-ish traits. Namely: sense of observing rather than being truly involved, ability to be socially calculated, sense of helplessness and social isolation, social introversion, and social anxiety are common. This is more relevant for 4w5s and 6w5s than 4w3s and 6w7s.

----

4 and 8

Hyper-Individualism, expressed in dramatic emotional displays (the mutual 2 line has lots to do with this).

Feeling like you need to make your unique mark -- 8s do it to express anger / control and take over rooms when they feel the drive. It is instinct-based. 4s do it to get their image recognized and validated, to get an audience for a strong idealistic vision they have invested in producing and sharing. This all ties in to the mutual 2 line.

Seeking Catharsis.

Trying to "help" people who they see as repressed to express themselves more. Sometimes it's really help. Sometimes not.

Sense of being "thrown out of heaven" and rejected by God. 8s feel they are in a war with God, 4s feel that they are trying to impress God through their image and earn their way back into heaven. Read Enneagram of Holy Ideas for this one. It's eerily similar.

Mutual line to 2: will both have 2-ish traits. Namely: Emotions > Logic, wanting an audience to sit on the throne before and entertain, dramatic over-expressiveness of the emotions with an unconscious motive to seduce. This is present regardless of the 4 or 8's wings.

----

6 and 8

Truth-seeking, particularly regarding political events and views of external reality. Both types are likely to have unconventional political views, be activists, be part of niche ideological tribes, loudly and vocally seek to destroy the power / authority and make their anti-authority opinions heard.

"Wake up sheeple!"

Savior / hero complex. Both aspire to be heroes of the weak. Both will probably love guns or military in some way.

Sense of their own Incompetency. These types both disintegrate into Competency types (6 -> 3 and 8 -> 5) as they are overdosing on something the core type lacks -- a sense of valuing and nurturing its own Competency.

Seeking Competent people to enter into their lives so that they can outsource their Competency concerns to these people; again, this comes from 6 and 8 devaluing their own Competency.

Overt anger and reactivity towards people who don't act the way they want them to be acting.

Mutual neighbors of 7: will both have 7-ish traits. Namely: They are chaotic and expansive thinkers, fixated on freedom and the right to adventure, hard to follow in their expressions of thought, both lean towards being socially extroverted, the stuff about having very unconventional views about reality can be chalked up to the 7 wing. This is more relevant for 6w7s and 8w7s than 6w5s and 8w9s.

----

All Reactives

Contrarianism, going against the norm to challenge the norm. If authority or "the mainstream" tells me to do it, I might just find a reason to do the opposite!

"Rebel without a cause."

...seeking to become rebels with a cause, so getting involved with a bunch of retarded causes, and occasionally getting involved with revolutionary causes that are good and not retarded.

Activism

Adaptability to circumstance, in their triad of focus (mental, interpersonal, or physical). That's part of what "reactive" means.

Argumentativeness

#reactive triad #enneagram #typology #enneagram 4 #enneagram 6 #enneagram 8 #1w9 #1w2 #2w1 #2w3 #3w2 #3w4 #4w3 #4w5 #5w4 #5w6 #6w5 #6w7 #7w8 #8w7 #8w9 #9w8 #9w1 #6 vs. 8 #4 vs. 6 #4 vs. 8

Could you do one with the momobami, yumeko, mary and yumemi clan with the reader who is antisocial, social anxiety? and he isolates himself in electronic games?(sorry for errors, I'm using google in translator)

↳ antisocial s/o

❤ GENRE: fluff.

❤ CHARACTER(S): k. momobami, r. momobami, y. jabami, m. saotome, y. yumemite

❤ SYNOPSIS: in request!

❤ NOTE: of course! these are a little short, but let’s get going!

━ KIRARI MOMOBAMI ;

Kirari tries to make you feel better about being in public but if you're not comfortable she will not pressure you

She is super patient with you and makes sure that you’re not uncomfortable around her or if she can do anything to make you feel better, she will

If you really like playing games and want an expensive PC or console or anything, she will get it for you; it’s the least she can do

She also buys a matching set so that both of you can game and that way you don’t feel too alone

If you can’t order your food, she’ll order it for you, she’s the one that goes “excuse me, they asked for no pickles”

Definitely makes sure that she gets the brand new games for you since you don’t like to interact with anyone, considering how nervous you get

Kirari does not see you any different and she doesn’t allow anyone to try and make you feel bad or uncomfortable; you are perfect just the way you are in her eyes

━ RIRIKA MOMOBAMI ;

Ririka actually offers to get you a mask like hers so you can be a completely different person and you aren’t nervous about talking to others

She is nervous about talking to others without her masks so she completely understands; the only difference between both of you is how you go about in your daily lives

She admires how you constantly play games and you’re really good at them, it doesn’t go unnoticed by her

Asks if she can play a game with you at some point; if you have another console, she’ll do her best so that she can impress you and you both constantly have dates where you’re gaming in each other’s company

She covers for you constantly when it comes to interacting with others, if you don’t feel like it, she’ll step up and answer for you (mainly if she has her mask on)

Unfortunately, since you’re going out with the vice president, you will get approached a lot but don’t worry, Ririka will come through for you

━ JABAMI YUMEKO ;

Yumeko is an extrovert so good luck with her not dragging you out

No, but she truly will try to understand you, it’s just that she gets too excited about being around other people so it seems like she’s pushy about you not going out with her; communicate with her about it and she will completely understand

She’s another one that buys you games a lot and even the most expensive PC and consoles so that you have the best of the best

Of course, she’s going to match with you; she is definitely not a gamer, but she’s trying so that you can both have a hobby that you enjoy and can participate in together

She’ll catch on if you’re overly critical of yourself and try to comfort you as best she can; when she goes home, she definitely studies how to make a socially anxious person feel better

Super patient with you, she’s always there for you when you need her to be

If you don’t want to go out and you need an excuse, she’s quickly making an excuse for you, she always has your back

━ MARY SAOTOME ;

Mary respects you, yet sometimes she wishes that she could take you to places with her friends

If you’re comfortable though, she does want to go out on dates with you; she even promises that you will never have to interact with anyone and she’ll be the one doing all of the talking

Buys you a lot of stuff that reminds her of you, so if you have a gaming room, expect for it to be full of plushies that somehow have a shy demeanor about them

Most of the games that you play, she plays too, so if you’re in public and you’re avoiding people as well as trying to distract yourself from your thoughts, she talks about the games and their lore to interrupt your thoughts and have you think about something else

Does NOT allow anyone to say anything bad about you and if she hears anyone say something about your demeanor, she’s definitely going to come out looking roughed up

She knows exactly what to say after these situations to make you feel better since she doesn’t want you to think you’re a burden or anything like that; she will defend you and protect you from anything as long as she can

━ YUMEMI YUMEMITE ;

Yumemi wants you to go outside with her since she hardly gets to see you because of her idol work

She knows that most of the time, you stand aside playing games to not socialize with anyone else since it makes you anxious, so she will not force you to interact with anyone if you do not want to

It’s a bit funny to her fans that she’s with someone who’s the complete opposite of her, but unfortunately, she gets targeted for this

Always tosses back some sarcastic remarks because no one is ever allowed to say anything bad about you, not when you’re doing your best to go through life and you’re not even bothering anyone

As an idol, she listens to music a lot to get inspiration so your dates can consist of you two hanging out and listening to music; it’s perfect because you never have to ask anything of anyone and you can talk to her

If you ever need to spill or vent or rant, she’s an incredible listener with some sage advice

She knows a lot of distraction techniques if you ever need them, sometimes she needs those techniques as well

She admires you greatly for having the courage to sometimes face your fears, it’s not easy and she appreciates you for it

#kakegurui x reader #kakegurui x y/n #kakegurui x you #kirari x reader #ririka x reader #yumeko x reader #saotome x reader #yumemi x reader #kirari momobami x reader #ririka momobami x reader #jabami yumeko x reader #mary saotome x reader #yumemi yumemite x reader

Mishima is the only one of my blorbos who gets so bullied by canon that I have no courage to bully him further. I'm glad you give him all the fluff and fuzzy!

Do you have any headcanons for how he interacts with other confidants? I could see Akira introducing him to Yoshida, and asking Yoshida to offer him a job.

nah you can totally bully him harder it’s fine Mishima may have a little fluff after the Kamoshida arc. As a treat 😂

I think Mishima still retains a somewhat isolated social life throughout the course of the game tbh. He strikes me as someone who desperately wishes for meaningful human connection but doesn’t know how to go about establishing relationships, especially since he’s been bullied and friendless most of his life. Even the beginning of his confidant with Joker reads as a very professional/transactional one because of the Phansite. Of course Mishima does go through his own arc of discovering his self-worth yadda yadda but man does canon Joker really not enjoy his presence lmao, idk if you could call that an “unbreakable bond” honestly

If canon is to be believed and he’s been ostracised throughout middle school then I don’t think he’d have the social skills/experience to make friends easily either ): That one confidant rank between Joker, Futaba and Mishima still makes me cringe when he’s all like “pog you’re so pretty you must be one of those cam girl streamers k e k haha it’s a joke get it” like damn boy my face is collapsing in on itself you’ve made a blackhole thanks. I like to think Mishima goes home afterwards and screams into a pillow vowing never to speak again just so he doesn’t have the chance to make an ass of himself, but then he wakes up the next day and looks into the mirror all “the Phantom Thieves would definitely be lost without me, I’m totally not a zero or anything >:c” Mishima having the barest self awareness makes it really funny in a tragic sort of way 😂 like dude stop hitting yourself

This part definitely strays into headcanon territory, but I think he’d try to fill up his free time by hanging out in the busy parts of Tokyo (assuming he somehow pulled himself away from the Phansite), or pursuing other hobbies like volleyball — anything to stave off his loneliness really. Getting into vaguely heated discussions in the off topic forums of the Phansite is probably his favourite past time lmao (idk what he’d talk about but it’s def some deep nerd shit)

I guess Ryuji and Mishima could have a friendship of sorts off-screen? Especially since it’s mentioned that they work out sometimes (which brings me so much joy ;_; ) I could definitely see the both of them talk out their shared trauma from Kamoshida if they ever let themselves be mutually vulnerable enough. Ryuji’s a friendly enough extrovert that he could help to bridge the awkward gap between Mishima and other acquaintances, then anything could happen from there really

#OF COURSE if i had my way with things mishima would go off on his own stupid little haikyuu arc #maybe reconnect with his teammates and fuck off to nationals despite kamoshida #but then what's the point just finish the hq manga me @ me #sports mishima must live on in 2023 ... he is a thing of beauty do not let the OG 2017/18 fans down

It feels weird having Fi as a function. More or less a dominant one. Cuz it doesn’t feel like I use it, but at the same time I also do, if that makes sense. Like I’ll care about what others think of me and I still do, but like I can think that’s Fe sometimes...

Being Fi doesn't mean you don't care what people think. Most people care about how they are perceived to some degree, either by people in general or by a handful of people whose approval they want to win, regardless of their type. Fe is about seeing everything through the context of "we/us" rather than "me." Thinking in terms of what's best for us, and putting oneself as secondary to the wishes of others. If not careful, FJs can "live for others" -- repressing what they want out of life because they are busy ensuring their loved ones have a high quality of life. At its best, Fe is all-inclusive because it focuses on what we have in common rather than what separates us and seeks to unite people through bringing that to the forefront; at its worst, it wants to repress individualism for the sake of keeping everyone comfortable (you are not allowed to be different, or have a difference of opinion from ours). Fe isn't what "other people think of me," it's a tool used to get people to work together, by focusing on their needs and adapting your behavior to it. The strongest and healthiest Fe's I know can figure out what each person in their life needs to hear from them and say it, to build them up or give them the push they need to break out of a bad situation. Fe's can temper strong messages with kindness, by asking "what does this person NEED from me?" That's Fe. :)

But there always feels like there is this sort of factor that distinguishes me from having it. Like I express myself better with writing; I can express more of how I actually feel and my thoughts rather in person.

Same. Fi. :)

Sometimes I do wonder if I’m an extrovert, and I did call myself one for a bit of time. I feel like the pandemic kinda made me question more of my identity because I used to call myself an introvert for a long time but now I mean I’m kinda unsure. And I can get pretty loud and stuff at times with friends and I can be energetic and weird and playful, like it seems like people wouldn’t associate those traits with ISFP rather with ESFP or ENFP...

Introverts can be loud and outgoing; extroverts can be shy, reserved, or quiet among a group of people. Your personality type is defined by how you think and process information, not how boisterous you are. The pandemic and enforced isolation has made a lot of people long for company that did not before, because of not being allowed to have their normal socialization. Even introverts need and want to be around people sometimes and to be out of their house doing things. SPs need a steady diet of trying new things and being hands-on. Beyond that, an ESFP would find themselves through participating in situations (as I said earlier today in response to another asker), whereas an ISFP starts from a position of knowing who they are and what they want and feel and moves toward sensory engagement based on those parameters (ESFP - not sure how I feel about this, I'll do it and find out!; ISFP - this is not for me, no way).

Being a 6 brings out natural judgment regardless of being Fi-dom or not; but the fact that you were so firm with a friend that crossed your boundaries and haven't second-guessed it probably supports ISFP, since an ESFP 6 might have second thoughts.

I wish there was more representation for ISFPs, especially for ones who break the stereotype. Yes, I can be quiet, but I can also be loud. No, I will not be a pushover to you all the time. The only person I can relate to who is an ISFP is Riley from Inside Out and maybe Eleven from Stranger Things.

There's a ton of ISFPs in the tags, since ISFPs are one of the most popular characters to use in movies/television (they are the archetypal "hero" trope"). Maybe you'll find more to relate to. :)

margarethe is an extrovert. she is socially-oriented and loves to be around and interact with people. does she always interact nicely? no. but she is energized and driven by the interactions she has with others. she feels restless, lonely, and dissatisfied if she doesn't get enough social interaction. indeed, part of the emotional challenge of her second marriage was moving from the city to an isolated farmhouse, depriving her of her social life.

she tends to be a little loud and a lot dramatic. her voice is like this at all times and she doesn't generally switch that off. everything she says is a proclamation. conversations with her can be intense because she is very emotive and demonstrative; when she is engaged, she is engaged, and you get all of her without apology or a dampening of her intensity. if she is not being intense, she is consciously controlling herself (or really really really going through it which is a subject for a separate post).

she is also heavily reliant on social rules, and she counts on them both to provide her with context/what to do in a given moment, but also to function as manipulative tools. she will violate certain social rules by choice in order to steamroll someone or otherwise get what she wants.

for example, she manipulates ella into 'willingly' giving up her bedroom and moving into the attic: she comments that the girls "find the sleeping quarters rather confining," prompting ella to suggest she give the girls her own, larger room, and that she herself can stay in the--margarethe cuts her off and says, "the attic! just so," and when ella is confused, margarethe keeps talking, bulldozing her as she blah-blah-blahs about the attic being airy and nice and how ella will "be away from all of our fuss and bother" (a dig btw at ella and her father not participating with marg/the girls socially). so ella goes into the attic, because social rules prevented her from interrupting, talking over, or disagreeing with margarethe. even the initial hint to ella about the bedroom was a deliberate manipulation.

following from this point: margarethe is manipulative and tends to be circuitous and indirect for that purpose. she feels very direct because she is often quite obvious in her goals and because of her aforementioned intensity, but generally speaking she does not come right out and say the thing that she wants or that is on her mind. (unless, of course, it's a purely transactional scenario like buying a dress.) she tries to poke, manipulate, and goad the other person into giving her the response she seeks. this is another way that she is beholden to social rules (she is rarely in a social environment that is kind to women who want things at all, much less who want things and ask for them), but also reliant on them as manipulative tools; she counts on social rules to prevent others from stopping her.

#██ headcanon tag.#up next is probably going to be a post about her quote unquote softer side #and/or about vampire margarethe and how she's quite different in some regards here

Be My Favourite thoughts

My heart bleeds for Kawi

Kawi is an extrovert paralysed by social anxiety. I have social anxiety but I'm also very much an introvert. The self-imposed social isolation led to depression but nowadays I'm in a much better place... and even that place would be torture for Kawi because I still occassionally go a week without human contact (which is perfectly fine for me as long as it is occassional).

My immediate thought was his social anxiety is more extreme than mine ever was but actually, thinking about it, my worst was probably about equal; it just didn't hit as hard because

not hanging around people really didn't bother me as much

I'm close with my family and lived with my parents to my early 20s

at first I worked in an office with 1-3 other people around, not from home (and dear god did I get incredibly lucky with landing in that particular job, which I'm still at now)

Who is Pisaeng

They make it abundently clear that Kawi is an unreliable narrator and there’s no reason to believe that Pisaeng doesn't have his own blind spots, namely: he's not as frank as he claims he is/as he wants to be.

I think part of his problem is that he's a victim of his own privilege: he's rich, handsome, intelligent (I think), athletic. He's the incels ideal "alpha male".

His peers expect him to be a leader. They're happy to have him around, but they'll only invite him as part of a general invite. They won't seek him out for something because he's supposed to be taking the initiative.

Except he's very much not a leader. He's Newton's first law of motion in human form. He wants frankness because he wants people to tell him what they want.

Possibly even part of the natural sugar daddy is less the wish to be caretaker and more gratitude for clarity. Could be both. Actually, both would explain a reluctance to tell people he wants them to take the lead - he doesn't want to disappoint them. Another reason might just be the pressure of social expectation or you know... telling people is taking initiative so that’s not happening 🤷️

But it leaves him feeling isolated, ignored (for the person he actually is), and incredibly lonely.

I'm totally on the "he already had a crush on the cute boy and wanted to get to know him better" train, but I think he also was offering a meal because he didn't know what Kawi would want... he was probably also hoping for a clear answer to where would be good to go - we know he didn't book ahead since he couldn't tell Pear when they'd leave. And, of course, without instruction he didn't do anything as Kawi's buddy

But even 1 night of being led into friendship was enough to get the ball rolling and setting them as best friends 12 years later. Again: 1st law in human form.

(Along with the childhood friends and Pear just being awesome, part of why he likes her so much is because she's a great leader. I'm 100% on the arranged marriage train - it's attached to the other train, I haven't duplicated myself - but he still loves her, just platonically. Based on what we've seen so far I think Pear may currently have a crush on him, but she's still bi so she can get a girl who really loves her and Kawi's fixing her life too (good job accidently fixing it hero 😉))

I'm not sure how being a DJ fits into all of this... even if it's a passion, I'm surprised he followed through on finding a job

Outro

So those are my thoughts 2 episodes in.

How wrong am I? Probably very 😅

(General apology for the chaos that is my (ab-)use of punctuation)
