The 8th House Experience Pt.1:
(Don’t Bite the Hand That Feeds You)
Case Study: Rose DeWitt Bukater
“Don’t bite the hand that feeds you.” - Anonymous
“He who feeds you controls you.” - Thomas Sankara
Two old sayings that have colored much of my experience as an 8th house dominant person for a good part of my life. Beyond the sex, occult and transformation themes, one of the most under-recognized signifiers of the 8th house is the connection to other people’s resources. It sounds mundane on the surface, and it is, but growing up and looking at my childhood and adolescence in retrospect I began to understand the depth of how it plays out.
And one of my favorite movies and characters illustrated it before my very eyes.
In Titanic, Rose is showered in gifts, presents and jewels bigger than she can handle. She is gifted things from other people, from a lavish wedding on behalf of her mother to the Heart of the Ocean from her fiancé down to the first-class tickets onto the Titanic on its maiden voyage. While she can play it all up and she does appreciate it, one thing is clear; She never asked for any of it. The 8th House is the house of other people resources, opposite the 2nd house of our own resources.
Rose is never consulted for her opinion, takes or even how she feels about any of the things people shower her with. Her mother disregards the lavender color theme she wants with her wedding, talking about her when discussing it but never actually involving her in the conversation.
The 8th House is opposite the 2nd House, the house of voice and speech.
She’s treated like a child, “meant to be seen and not heard.”
Her fiancé Cal orders her food for her like a child, down to the temperature of the meat.
Her family and friends have celebrated her engagement and impending wedding. Her mother dotes on her fiancé. Her fiancé has their plans set for when they land. She seemingly has it made with the perfect man, wedding and life. But until Jack, no one ever asks her how she feels about the wedding or if she even loves her fiancé to begin with. She says “it feels like i’m standing in the middle of a crowded room, screaming to the top of my lungs and no one even looks up.” And that colors a lot of experiences with the 8th house, being on the receiving end of other people’s resources without being asked if you even want them or having any input in them at all.
And running the risk of being called ungrateful if you don’t want them.
Rose feels trapped. She describes the opulent heart of the ocean diamond necklace that many would have died for as a dog collar. But she still hesitates to leave. When Jack comes into the picture and her mother realizes she may be tempted to throw her plan out of wack, she accuses Rose of being selfish and threatens the idea of a poor, dishonorable, shameful existence with them losing everything they have and working as seamstresses. The 8th House is an extreme house, it doesn’t know nuance, it doesn’t know the middle ground.
The 8th House: you accept all the resources other’s have to give you or they threaten to rip the rug out from under you completely.
In the 8th House, you run the risk of people gifting you things with the intention of controlling you.
Dangling their resources in your face like a cat toy.
In the end however, it leads 8th Housers out of the dark into the 9th House, a house defined by independence, adventure and risk. A life very similar to Jack and the path he was able to give her a glimpse of.
The path that she ultimately took for herself.
In the most extreme examples, such as mine, it may even make one hyper-independent but for the better. At the conclusion, Rose was able to give it all up and go live the life she built for herself, based on choices she made for herself and define herself outside of the things given to her, but with things she gave and made for herself.
As an 8th houser, like Rose, you realize people would gift you with things not for you, but for them.
Also, eventually like Rose, you stopped being scared of refusing things people gave you if you didn’t really want it. You, cautiously, learn to trust others but most of all you learn to trust yourself and your own resources to get you ahead, your own resources physically and mentally.
And they worked.
It worked for me
Give it a chance and it will for you too!

Do you have any tips or advice for someone thinking about getting into writing their own fanfiction?
i think you should go absolutely nuts over your own story and i mean talk about it constantly, draw and storyboard your scenes and be unashamed and unapologetic for it.
also don't hold yourself to a un-fun standard or compare. A 30 word poem has as much enjoyment and impact as a 300k story. my writing is plagued with grammar and spelling errors because i care more about the personal fun and escapism of writing than it's appearance to try and look like an finished school assignment. make mistakes and be careless or carefree
if you dont post it, back it up online so you never lose it. if you do post it online, also back it up so you never lose it.
write in all lowercase. write your scenes out of order. get a glass of water next to you because you might sit down and get into a writing zone for 8+ hours and get hit with every debuff imaginable when you come out of that focus
get. a heated blanket.

Aragorn II Elessar, 03.2024
Happy (late) birthday to the King.
New colour palette unlocked! Don't get used to it, though. Aragorn is special like that.
Also, this is my favourite look of his. He looks so good, you should expect me to draw him in this outfit again.

There’s a fic on fanfiction(.)net that I’ve kept tabs on for years to see if it’s been updated or not. While I’m no longer even in the fandom it’s written for, it just has one of the greatest storylines I’ve ever read. Last time it was updated was 2011.
The other day, I decided to reread the entire thing and leave a very in-depth review of what I thought of each chapter. I also mentioned how I started reading it when I was 13 and am now 21, but always came back to see if it was ever finished because I loved it so dearly.
Today, said author sent me a private message saying that her analytics showed that the story was still getting views even after all these years, but no one ever bothered to leave reviews other than “update soon!!!”, so she never felt motivated enough to finish it. She said that me reviewing every single chapter with lengthy paragraphs made her cry and meant the world to her. She also mentioned that she felt encouraged to write the two remaining chapters needed to complete the story and that she would send me a message the night before she updates the fic.
I’m literally sobbing. I’m so excited :’)
Please always remember to leave a review when reading fanfiction!!! It means a lot to a writer.
