Aries: thinks they’re actually the shit…. sometimes. they can be too hard on themselves if they’re not always perfect and they can easily slip into an attitude of not knowing how to move forward. they know they’re strong through it all, though. they depend on themselves and nobody else.
Taurus: they know they’re stubborn, but they try really hard not to be. they very much strive to be kind and warm. sometimes they can push themselves away from the people they love and they try to get themselves back to how they were before.
Gemini: they think they’re the life of the party, and most times they actually are. but when they go home, sometimes all that upbeat energy goes away and they can’t but think that they’re not good enough. they are always striving to be superhuman and to make sure everyone else is happy. and they are aware of the high standards they have for themselves.
Cancer: they know they’re loving, they know they’re sensitive, they know they’ll give anything to someone they love. sometimes they really despise it about themselves, and sometimes they see the true beauty in being soft and compassionate. other times, that much emotion can resort in them turning it into self-hatred and they’re full aware when they close themselves off. they know that they need to not care as much about what others think.
Leo: said to be confident, they can actually get very insecure. there is no worse enemy for them than themselves. they get a lot of anxiety about people and situations sometimes, but they force themselves to push forward and that’s why they get to claim the lion as their own.
Virgo: they think they’re a true badass sometimes lol. but truthfully they know that they have a soft spot for everyone. they know that they can come off as cold, but they only do it so people won’t take advantage of them like they’re so used to.

Aquarius: they know that they have an inner child. they love the feeling of innocence or going back into the past. but, they also know they have the weight of the world on their shoulders and that’s why they act the way they do. the people who laugh the loudest often have the most going on inside of them.
Pisces: they know they’re emotional and soft. they wear their hearts on their sleeves and they’re never ashamed. sometimes, it gets too much for them and they know that they need to escape for a little while, they know they feel the best in nature and writing what they’re feeling.
Moon & Mars: Experiencing Emotions and Expressing Them
Our moon placements speaks to the inner dialogue of how we feel and experience emotions. However, emotional expressions can manifest in our Mars placement when experiencing raw and strong emotions. This creates an interesting dynamic between moon and Mars; the moon can explain the basic instincts when it comes to interpreting feelings while Mars is how we may act it out.
Below is how these two placements may be portrayed elementally wise when it comes to ones emotional state vs how they may unleash that to the world.
Fire moon ☽ (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius)-
Fire moons experience emotions quickly. Emotions can be like a wave, it hits them hard but can disappear just as quickly as it surfaced. However, when strong emotions come they are okay with experiencing and owning it. Their passionate minds make it easier for them to feel defensive when the ego is under attack. They can be prone to having their emotional state eat up their entire mind if expression is not released.
+ Fire Mars ♂️: A combination of fire moon and fire Mars means strong emotions surface fast and are openly expressed. They own what they are feeling and aren’t as concern as how it may come across at first. They are probably the most honest about how they feel even if the execution isn’t ideal.
+ Earth Mars ♂️: A combination of fire moon and earth Mars means they take the raw emotions they are feeling and try to make practical use out of it. The energy gained from emotions can be expressive more productively. They may struggle with the contradictions these elements bring because their fire moon calls for impulsivity, but their earth Mars makes them patient with it.
+ Air Mars ♂️: A combination of fire moon and air Mars means they sit on their emotions before expressing them outwardly. They can take their spontaneous emotions and intellectualize them quicker than others. They are very adaptable to the situation their emotions may have brought them in, but because their fire moons they may need to make damage control a priority.
+ Water Mars ♂️: A combination of fire moon and water Mars means they are well aware with how they are feeling, but don’t want to admit it to others. They are strongly invested with their emotions, but are afraid with how others will view them so expression is passive. However, they are like a boiling pot of water, eventually get them heated enough they will burst.
Earth moon ☽ (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn)-
Earth moons have the tendency to suppress emotions in favor of a more practical view. They aren’t emotionless but may come across stoic or indifferent. They seek stability for themselves and others as well so when that is threaten they may feel the most discomfort with their emotions. It takes a lot for them to be honest with emotions and often only shares them with those deemed worthy enough.
+ Fire Mars ♂️: A combination of earth moon and fire Mars means they put their emotions into passion and have a strong drive. They handle pain and hurt with productivity, but it may not apparent to others as to why they are behaving the way they are. They may battle with themselves of holding high standards to itheir emotions while craving the desire of it being shown to others.
+ Earth Mars ♂️: A combination of earth moon and earth Mars means they come off as well discipline and hard to sway. This can be intimidating or even inspiring to some. They can have the most control over their emotions and how they are executed. However, they can be the most dishonest about their feelings to themselves and others.
+ Air Mars ♂️: A combination of earth moon and Air Mars means they have strong control of emotions and knows how to execute them in a smart and polished way. It takes a lot for them to show aggression and sometimes the way they talk about emotions may seem robotic and rehearsed. Their air Mars allows their more stubborn earth minds to be adaptable in this area as well.
+ Water Mars ♂️: A combination of earth moon and water Mars means they struggle being direct with their feelings. They will hold back sharing them and then dance around the truth when it needs to be released. However, it can be scary once tested too far because of how important they take guarding themselves and others they love.
Air moon ☽ (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius)-
Air moons hold emotions to the same standard as oxygen: they know it’s there but they don’t need to really acknowledge its presence. With this standard it can make an air moon feel like they need to intellectualize their emotions so they hold validity. When they actively think about them then it consumes them. Emotional state become unideal when communication is rough with others and they feel others have grown disdain for them.
+ Fire Mars ♂️: A combination of air moon and Fire Mars means the moment their emotions override their control it may be expressed abruptly and unrefined. This can create frustration for them, however they are adept individuals who can get out of the situation they may have created by mistake. They are also skilled in making the outcome desirable for themselves when conflict is resolved.
+ Earth Mars ♂️: A combination of air moon and earth Mars means they might not communicate all their emotions which could be a good thing cause they say what’s necessary. They have strong filters and are hard to break. They are observant from their air moon which is a resource that the earth Mars utilizes to end tension.
+ Air Mars ♂️: A combination of air moon and air Mars means they come off as more graceful with emotions. They can communicate them to be viewed as attractive so it may be received well. This isn’t without consequence however for they may be the most detached to their emotions. They may think a thousand words, but not all of them will be acknowledged and expressed.
+ Water Mars ♂️: A combination of air moon and water Mars means once the emotions have been analyzed they know how to strategically use them to their advantage. Gaining sympathy is their talent, but they do recognize others feelings. Though this should all be taken account after they are honest with themselves and are brave enough to confront it.
Water moon ☽ (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces)-
Water moon experience emotions deeper and can understand the layers and complexity it brings. While their strength is admirable, their weakness is holding emotions in until it becomes too much to handle. This isn’t because they avoid emotions, it is the conflicts they may cause to those around they don’t want. Emotions guide what they would and should do. Emotions becomes too much to handle when they feel they are being treated poorly.
+ Fire Mars ♂️: A combination of water moon and fire Mars means they navigate life with emotions more openly. Their fire Mars encourage their water moon to let the floodgate open which can be refreshing and necessary for them. Though the lack of premeditation may cause the results they don’t desire.
+ Earth Mars ♂️: A combination of water moon and earth Mars means they value comfort and stability in their emotions greatly and when it becomes disturbed is when they will act on it. They don’t want to be seen as uncomposed so they shed their strong emotions through a shakey voice. They have to fight their imagination in these situations in order to prove they are realistic beings.
+ Air Mars ♂️: A combination of water moon and air Mars means they will hide their emotions until somebody makes them show it. They can manipulate the situation in their favor. On the flip side, an individual who is more developed with these placements may use this power to understand others emotions better. Their air Mars refines what they are thinking before it’s expressed as well.
+ Water Mars ♂️: A combination of water moon and water Mars means they intuitive with emotions, but struggle with showing the more negative ones. They don’t suppress them they just don’t want them to escalate drama. They be more likely to deal with their emotional state alone because of this. When feelings are expressed to other the result can be the most devastating to see because of how expressive they become.
homestuck is that thing u like as a kid and never fully grasp how nasty it is till youre old enough to know better . i feel like there are too many people holding onto the nostalgia it creates over the actual reality of it . i do it too some times like there are characters i felt connected to & still have this weird affection for when i see them BUT i know that homestuck, both the creators and the comic itself has flaws that out weigh whatever good memories i have of it yknow ? its ok to admit “yea, i was a kid that consumed this uncritically and thats ok bc i was just a kid !” but were not kids anymore and we can recognise that the comic is actively harmful & its fanbase can be seriously dangerous because of all the pro sexualisation of minors, pedophilia, incest, antisemitism, homophobia, ableism, racism, god and the list goes on … im not going to preach at people that still like it but i am going to say that YOU HAVE A JOB - you HAVE to be critical of this shit, you HAVE to protect the kids into homestuck by calling out all this nasty shit AND MAKE OTHERS AWARE OF IT, you HAVE to callout the creators and all the nasty shit theyre into, and you HAVE to be honest to yourself about why you really like it !! are the jokes really that funny or are they just at the expense of others ? are the characters actually well written or are they just offensive tropes ? do you enjoy it as a good piece of narrative, or are you just picking out pieces that are okay and ignoring the bad parts ? also PLEASE tag that shit so i dont have to see it lol. happy 420 yall
A very unusual genetic color variation in white-tailed deer â rarer even than albinism â produces all-black offspring in that species which are known as âmelanisticâ or âmelanicâ deer.
this is very cool but the first and last pic are photoshopped!
My favorite build by far, it’s so relaxing to just watch all the butterflies and birds flutter around, and listen to all the cute little animal sounds. There’s a lot more animals in here than I was able to capture (squirrels, bunnies, turtles, lizards, fogs) they’re so unpredictable!
This is what people mean when they say that privilege is invisible to the people who have it. It never occurred to him that knowing someoneâs orientation would be important to anyone, because to him, a straight man, representation is everywhere. Itâs overabundant. Itâs so common as to be taken for granted. To him, representation of his sexuality isnât important because itâs there.Â
I love that he learned. I love watching people understand their own blind spots when it comes to privilege.Â
modern greek mythology adaptation where hades and persephone are played by john mulaney and his wife
Sheâs hades, heâs Persephone
Oh no, no. John Mulaney is 100% Hades.
Loves his wife
Is actually pretty chill except when it comes to stupid people
Canât stand up for himself when others try to do him wrong
And from what we hear about her, sheâs very Persephone.
Easy to underestimate
Knows her own mind
Will cut you
âSo, I meet this wonderful lady. Just fantastic, my heart does that thing where itâs skipping beats, and I - all of you think Iâm going to talk about how I suavely asked her out, and that is not what happened.Â
âI ride up in my chariot, and the first - this is literally the first thing I say to her is âdo you want to meet my dogâ?
âAnd this - I - this is a sign that this woman is my soul mate - she looks at her friends hanging around and says, âsure, catch you later, guysâ.
âIâm going to skip forward here a couple of dates - no, donât - this is not the story of how my wife met my dog - and her mom - her mom - finds out sheâs seeing me. Now I know everyone jokes about how a girlâs dad is this big, hulking - going to hunt you down if youâre dating his daughter and he doesnât like you. But if you say that, itâs because youâve never had some girlâs mom glaring up at you from like - her momâs like two inches taller than her, so this little furious glare from around my chin area, saying her daughterâs not allowed to come see me anymore.
âAnd this - okay, this is when I knew I was going to marry this girl, she looks at her mom and, cool as anything, says, âToo late, mom. I met his dog, ate dinner over here. Iâm stayingâ.â
I miss âvintageâ anime artstyles, it was plain and simple back then but nowadays all i see is a woman whoâs supposedly 1000yrs old looking like sheâs 12 or women/girls having such unrealistic body shapes i.e boobs being bigger than their whole damn head and looking like it would snap their spine in half irl, also waists so tiny you wonder if they even have all their organs intact. Boobs DONâT have to jiggle with every step you take pls iâm begging for some normal fucking animation here
Like these two characters are roughly around the same age whatâs going on
Letâs talk about the anime that have been on air long enough to have started off seemingly appeasing / logical that have become overdeveloped, eye sore mess:
honestly do whatever weird inadvisable shit you have to to make life bearable
Dysfunctional coping mechanisms are still coping mechanisms.
Dysfunctional coping mechanisms are still coping mechanisms.
This is not good advice. Dysfunctional coping mechanisms only temporarily make you feel better, but in the long term they will bite you in the ass. If the only thing making life bearable is something that is hurting you or others, you need help. I know that when you’re in a bad place you just want it to be over, but please, please, please don’t listen to this advice and do something to cope in a healthy way, because if you keep on living and surviving because of your coping strategy, your life will get better for you if you cope with it positively; it will not get better if you use a negative coping strategy.
