If you're shopping for new clothes and notice that you're now a size 24 when before you were a 16 and haven't gained any weight or are the same measurable size, it's not just you, and they're deliberately mislabeled to make you feel bad. It's already been happening to fat people for years, but now I'm seeing them do it to straight sizes. Size 8 pants are being marketed as size 14 so that brands can say they're "plus size inclusive" without... actually making plus size clothes.
As a general rule of thumb, never trust any clothing brand that doesn't provide a size chart with quantifiable measurements ♡

Rashad walks up and down the dismal line of conscripts, holding back a sigh. Though the crown has sent for every able bodied man between the ages of eighteen and forty to report for duty, he might whittle three hundred from this crowd -- if he's lucky.
Wars have been won with far less, he reminds himself -- but not against German guns. This lot looks like they rolled out of haystacks and alleyways with scythes and rusted swords from the Napoleonic wars a hundred years previous. When Cordonia was a force to be reckoned with.
"Pathetic!" Rashad tosses his coat on the chaise lounge, throwing his hands up when his two remaining officers, Beaumont and Levine, stare at him. They've reconvened to an upstairs office of the barracks to report their findings. Levine, leaning heavily on a cane and already sporting a wooden leg, has been promoted to Corporal Sargent, and will stay behind in Cordonia to train the raw conscripts as they trickle in.
"He sends me men so crippled from the factories and slums that they can't lift a rifle, and boys barely off their mothers' teats!" Rashad runs a careless hand through his dark hair. "Bowlegged bastards he sends me! Does the king think nothing of my reputation with our allies?"
"Surely it's not as bad as all that, sir." Levine pulls the curtain back to look down at the field where the recruits are milling and makes a face. "I see what you mean. But begging your pardon, General, things have been bad in the provinces for a long time, and even more wretched in the city. I'm surprised we even got a thousand able-bodied conscripts at all."
Rashad uncorks a flask of whiskey from his pocket and takes a long pull. "Goddamnit, Levine, this isn't the time or place for a lecture. I've had to put down more rebellions in the past five years than -”
"I say, what's that?" Beaumont points through the window, and Rashad joins him and Levine at the glass.
A plume of black smoke has risen in the north, just over the tree line. Whatever it is, it's coming in rapidly. The recruits begin shouting, and Rashad pulls up the window, leaning out to see better in the frosty morning. His patience is rewarded when a line of steppe ponies come thundering over the hill, men in furs armed to the hilt with swords and pistols. "My God, it's the tribes from the mountains!"
Two motorbikes roar out in front of the formation of horses, and Rashad lets the window fall, turning to Beaumont and Levine, who are staring slack jawed at the spectacle. "We're saved!

I slept, and I know I dreamed, but not what they were or what they were about; to wake in the still, citrus scented pastel of morning on a quiet, palm-lined street. I hope that when I die, my ashes will be scattered in the sea foam of the coast, so when you pick up a shell, you'll always hear me singing somewhere in the deep. Soon I'll be back to the land of endless dark, but I'll hold these memories in my blood like eternal sunshine, like Persephone before she ate her six seeds.

it's so upsetting when ppl complain about not having fics to read but refuse to read wips like ?? this isn't a book store this is a community... the authors are less likely to finish it if y'all only show their work love after it's done...
this isn't a bookstore this is a community
SAY IT LOUDER ANON
i know WIPs can be frustrating because they don't always update constantly or consistently. sometimes they get abandoned. sometimes they go on hiatus for long periods of time.
trust me, i get it. but the fanfic community and fanfic writers thrive on people supporting their works in progress. "there aren't any fics to read" - no there ARE, you're just not reading them.
ao3 isn't netflix. you very rarely get a finished product all in one go that's not a one shot. that defeats the purpose of being able to upload individual chapters at different times.
we as a society are too used to instant gratification and "binging." fanfic wasn't designed for that. if you want to "binge read," go buy a published book. if you want to participate in fandom, support writers who are putting their work out there for free without any compensation other than your love, support, and encouragement.

Dirty Little Secrets... oof. What can I say? Well... they tried. But I'm only three chapters into my diamond mining and I should have named my MC Pickmeisha, come on, an evening gown for a house date?! Really?!
See, I don't play as myself, but often MC makes similar decisions to what I myself would make on my first play through, and a house date is right up there with a coffee date.
Oh well, maybe it gets better. Then again, this is the app that put out TNA.
Book rating: 1/2 star out of 5

Here's the Bean / Cloud Gate! It was such a great trip 🥰
Tumblr media
A year ago I was in Chicago with @boneandfur and @walkerismychoice, two of the best friends a girl could ever ask for. We bonded over Choices and then at a low point in the fandom/my mental health we started a group chat and created an unbreakable bond.
This fandom has given me so much.

I have lots and lots of thoughts about the Storyloom announcement. I am trying to formulate them. I am also going through the regular Storyloom ToS and the contents ToS carefully to help me formulate said thoughts.
The contest angle is interesting/suspicious. It is definitely misleading and a way to reward a small amount of creators instead of everyone.
I don't have issues with sponsored fanfic necessarily but this definitely benefits the company far more than the creator.

Sun in the Composite Chart
The sun in a composite chart represents the ego of the connection. What is your guys goal together? Why does this connection exist?
->The composite chart works for all relationships (family members, platonic, romantic, work related, etc.). While there is potential with the energy, remember it is created mutually with time!
(ALSO! These are just my mere interpretations and observations as I have been researching/reading various com. charts of people I know!)
Aries: Aries sun in the composite chart is all about the thrill. This relationship exists because of the youthful energy you both possess when together. Your goal together is to seek fun and feel like a child again. I have noticed that this placement is found in a lot of younger siblings (with big families) or casual friends. This is a very lighthearted placement. There may be a tendency for the energy to burn out once the spontaneity ends.
Taurus: Taurus sun in the composite is all about comfort. This relationship exists to remind the parties to slow down and appreciate life. There is a very fond connection between the two, as well as mutual support. This tends to be a long lasting energy, even if people depart. These connections can become sensual as well.
Gemini: Gemini sun in the composite is all about friendship. This relationship exists because of the recognition each party has for the others quirkiness. Even in romantic relationships, this connection will be light and playful. There’s a lot of mental stimulation and exploration in these connections.
Cancer: Cancer sun in the composite is all about reassurance. This relationship exists so that both people know they have someone to protect them. There is a strong sense of comfort in cancer sun composites. The involved parties are very fond of each other and want to endlessly support each other.
Leo: Leo sun in the composite is all about the highest self. This relationship exists to boost the confidence of both individuals. With a Leo sun in the composite, the energy created is an illumination of the ego. Both people want to hype each other up and encourage growth. They want the best for each other.
Virgo: Virgo sun in the composite is all about lessons. This relationship exists to allow both parties to learn something new from each other. Ive noticed that there tends to be a comfortable distance between the two parties as they analyze each other. Nevertheless, they find the other intriguing and a topic worth exploring.
Libra: Libra sun in the composite is all about romance. This relationship exists to invite beauty and love into both parties lives. This is an ideal placement for romantic relationships, but it brings a sweetness to any connection. No matter what, both parties will always try to see the goodness in each other. They tend to be very flirty with their energy.
Scorpio: Scorpio sun in the composite is all about insight. This relationship exists to probe into the hidden areas of each other and heal. There is a raw vulnerability of Scorpio sun in the composite that brings comfort to the unknown. These people tend to share many secrets, but can sometimes keep things from each other on purpose. This occurs if one feels ‘taken advantaged’ of due to the inability to conceal darkness in these connections.
Sagittarius: Sagittarius sun in the composite is all about expansion. This relationship exists to remind the people of everything they overlook in their own life. The energy created appreciates the vibrancy of creation and new experiences. These people love to travel and try new things together. It’s an endless journey between the two.
Capricorn: Capricorn sun in the composite is all about ambition. This relationship exists to reach success and complete desired goals. These people create an energy of purpose that seeks to accomplish. This placement is very binding until both people feel that they have reached the desired goal. There are certain expectations in these relationships as they hold each other to a high standard.
Aquarius: Aquarius sun in the composite is all about acceptance. This relationship exists to express individuality and fully accept each other. There is a lot of zesty energy and the two may love to innovate/create together. There is rarely harsh judgement but rather encouragement to pursue grand visions.
Pisces: Pisces sun in the composite is all about healing. This relationship exists to ascend the parties into higher awareness. The people involved gain deeper understandings of themselves because of the other person. It’s like seeing right through any facade and nurturing the forgotten wounds. I have noticed, however, these relationships sometimes end with one person wronging or taking advantage of the other.
In the houses!
Composite sun in the first house deals with individuality. Appreciation for the others goals and egos is emphasized. Seldom do the parties attempt to change the other. This placement can sometimes indicate one person inspiring the other to create a stronger identity for themselves (if that makes sense lol).
Composite sun in the second house deals with security. There is a lot of power for one person to influence the other persons self-worth. The energy is steady and everlasting, as both people feel comfortable early on in the connection. The people involved can really raise (or hurt) each other’s self-esteem/confidence!
Composite sun in the third house deals with youth. Similar to Gemini sun in the composite, this placement is great for friendships. There’s a lot of communication and humor involved. These people don’t take each other seriously, but in the best way. I also find this placement indicates that the people involved begin to steal each other’s lingo/hobbies, it’s so cute.
Composite sun in the fourth house deals with family. This could indicate people that become apart of your family or who feel like family. Typically, these people care immensely for each other and the connection feels natural. The fourth house is the deepest part of life, so there is a chance to really open deep wounds (in a good or bad way).
Composite sun in the fifth house deals with creativity. The connections are great for working together on creative projects, or for creating fun memories. I’ve found that sometimes there’s comparison in the connection about clashing talents/egos. I’ve also found that the people appreciate the others talent. This placement reveals itself differently in all charts.
Composite sun in the sixth house deals with routine. It could be common for people to have composite sun in the sixth house to regularly see each other and work with each other. One thing I have noticed is a tendency for one person to put themselves above the other. It could also indicate one person helping another with mental or physical health.
Composite sun in the seventh house deals with lovers and enemies. This is such a powerful placement that manifests in such extreme ways. These people can almost feel like they’re supposed to be in a relationship. The people involved understand the others power and ultimately want to work with them or against them.
Composite sun in the eighth house deals with karma. There could be unexplainable reasons why you guys stay in a connection together, but you do nonetheless. This placement may indicate inheriting money from each other or feeling obligated to help one another. The people involved are probably fairly vulnerable with each other.
Composite sun in the ninth house deals with experience. The two will definitely learn a lot from each other, but especially through physical experiences! They will probably ask a lot of questions within the connection and have a goal of expanding their mind. A lot of teacher-student energy created. One person may try to get the other to do a lot of new things out of their comfort zone.
Composite sun in the tenth house deals with accomplishment. This placement is common in a lot of public/famous couples. Your guys connection will be hard to keep secret, and could involve a lot of other people. Being together may manifest an energy that boosts your own image or success. You guys may create a lot of grandiose goals together.
Composite sun in the eleventh house deals with awareness. This placement may bring many new thoughts or wishes into the pair’s life that they disregarded before. This is the one placement I couldn’t find a lot of physical examples for, which was interesting. However, expect growth with the energy of this connection and a newfound appreciation for humane and hopeful things.
Composite sun in the twelfth house deals with the subconscious. This is personally my favorite placement for the sun (in platonic & romantic relationships). A spiritual and everlasting bond ties the two together. This allows for intense healing and revaluations for both people involved. These two people tend to understand each other in a way others can’t, which is very powerful and intimidating. For the brightest planet that surrounds the ego to be placed in the darkest house that rejects ego is very symbolic and intriguing to me. This placement is definitely unforgettable. I’ve found that this placement in celebrity couples leads to a private relationship, but successful.
I hope these were insightful! I think using composite charts to see how certain relationships can work out (work, siblings, parents, friends, etc.) is really interesting! I’m not 100% good with this type of chart yet, but I have been doing a lot of research :)
