‘ i have one thing to say to you. get ready because i'm coming after you this time. ’

‘ have you been drinking? ’

‘ i don't know how to tell you this... ’

‘ you're my best friend... but if that's not enough.. ’

‘ maybe we could have dinner tomorrow night? ’

‘ i want to scare him so bad he doesn't ever think of doing this to someone else. ’

‘ hey, you might want to chill... he's a little old for you.. ’

‘ i hear you're quite the basketball star. ’

‘ i'm happy. i'm really happy. 'cause he's dead... 'cause he's gone for good. ’

‘ i'll change seats if you don't shut up. ’

‘ that's the first smile i've seen on him since you left. ’

‘ when i'm offended you know you've really gone too far. ’

‘ you honestly think i would go out in public with them for thirty bucks? ’

‘ let's get some sleep because tomorrow's going to be a long and wonderful day. ’

‘ you leaving was a huge wake-up call for me. ’

‘ you can't stand being around me. ’

‘ you know what you want... so go for it. ’

‘ i hate him, { name }. i hate him so much. ’

‘ it's really hard, pretending to be something you're not. ’

‘ you sure you're not having doubts? ’

‘ we talk on the phone once in a while but yesterday was the first time i've seen them in months. ’

‘ you should do exactly what it is you want to do but make sure you graduate from school first. ’

‘ you're looking rather radiant today. ’

‘ so when are you guys going to have a kid? ’

‘ really, could you two be more meant for each other? ’

‘ i want my friends back and just standing by is not going to make that happen. ’

‘ i still can't sleep without my light on. ’

‘ there's a rule. the youngest you can date is half your age plus seven. ’

‘ you know, for a second there, i thought you were going to ask me out. ’

‘ you're really pretty and anyone who tells you different is blind, or jealous, so just tell them to shut up. ’

‘ hey, i know things look bad but we got to keep going as if the wedding is happening. ’

‘ wow. you look exactly like your mom in her high school photo. ’

‘ stop being a baby and get ready for the wedding. ’

‘ so... the dance. are you still going solo? if so, you're not anymore. ’

‘ the whole squad was great... but you totally stood out. ’

‘ { name }, c'mon... i can't leave.. ’

‘ you sure you're not having doubts? ’

‘ we've discussed it and we definitely want kids. ’

‘ you've been in her shadow for how long? isn't it time for you to step into the spotlight? ’

‘ wait a minute... did you just talk to me without saying twerp or dweeb? ’

‘ lighten up. we had fun. ’

‘ someone warned me about him once and i should have listened. ’

‘ it's so loud out here. you want to go someplace a little more private? ’

‘ if this is going to work then some things have to stay private. ’

‘ i'm not saying never, just not right now. ’

‘ i knew coming here was a mistake. ’

‘ the gym looks amazing. i can't wait for the dance. ’

‘ someone's in a good mood... ’

‘ i thought that maybe we could get out of town tomorrow. ’

‘ it's my wedding day and the groom has disappeared. ’

‘ we're totally over-dressed. ’

‘ why do you even bother? i'm just a big, stupid loser. ’

‘ you don't have to invite me to your dumb party. ’

‘ i'm the king of this school and you're my queen. ’

‘ we do stand out but that's good. ’

‘ the pain's going to catch up to you. ’

‘ your dad? you saw your dad? why didn't you tell me? ’

‘ so much for us "being one," huh? ’

‘ i was thinking about getting my belly button pierced. ’

‘ just because { name } and i are dating doesn't mean things between us are going to change. ’

‘ he hurt me and no one in the world seems to be able to do anything about it. ’

‘ we don't want anymore kids right now. end of story. ’

‘ the mysteries of the universe are infinite to me. ’

‘ { name }, are you mad at me? did i do something wrong? ’

‘ you two don't have the best relationship? ’

‘ if i were to disappear, who'd care? what would it matter? ’

‘ give them some of your world famous attitude. show 'em who's boss. ’

‘ i'm out of here. tonight. ’

‘ no, i mean... my dad, he would never have let me have you over like this. ’

‘ it wasn't until later that it hit, that they were dead. ’

‘ it wasn't what i thought it was going to be. i kind of thought it'd be beautiful or something... ’

‘ i wanted him to want to be with me. ’

‘ there must be a mistake. i've never lost anything in my life. ’

‘ i know how much this means to you... but i'm sorry, you didn't make the cut. ’

‘ someone's in love. ’

‘ i think i owe you a dance. ’

‘ how does it feel? to find your one true love? ’

‘ call me romantic but i always imagined my first date ending in a kiss. ’

‘ can i be honest with you? you and { name } getting back together? the stupidest idea i've ever heard. ’

‘ you know, that kind of sounds to me like you're pregnant. ’

‘ i've never liked anyone like this before. it's weird. ’

‘ i love being around you... just not all the time, okay? ’

‘ we don't all have rich parents who'll just buy us whatever we want. ’

‘ you're funny, but you're intelligent too, and you're just wasting it by always being the class clown. ’

‘ there you are! i thought you left without me! ’

‘ you've been gone forever! ’

‘ i keep trying to forget... but i can't. ’

‘ it's all about knowing what you want and then going for it. ’

‘ have you ever heard of knocking?! ’

‘ i got myself into anger management and i've gotten better. i've gotten a lot better. ’

‘ you don't think i should go, do you? ’

‘ i don't think you should talk to her anymore. ’

‘ this is so not the time to talk to me. ’

‘ you were paid to go out with me? ’

‘ sometimes it's like you and { name } are the couple, not you and me. ’

‘ they say we're the schools hottest new couple. ’

‘ i wanted them gone, so why am i crying now that they are? ’

‘ how long are we going to pretend like nothing happened? ’

‘ i know, it's not a real date but i want to wear something you'll like ’

‘ this is turning out to be one of the best days of my life. ’

‘ my mom's having this party and i was wondering if maybe you want to come along? ’

‘ you want me to add anything to this grocery list? ’

‘ what { name } and i do together is none of your business. ’

‘ you... you dance like a wounded polar bear. ’

‘ has my rep declined to the point where a loser like them thinks they can ask me out and get away with it? ’

‘ how could you not tell me that you're pregnant? ’

‘ i'm ready to talk. well... as ready as i'll ever be. ’

‘ i know what you found out it beyond weird but it's not the end of the world. ’

‘ you get, like, whatever you want and i can't even afford... anything. ’

‘ you remember that invite i gave you? well, it was sort of a mistake. ’

‘ i couldn't tell everyone where you went and why. ’

‘ me and you, we're not mom and dad, right? ’

‘ you don't have to worry about that, alright? ’

‘ i know this sounds awful but my parents were wondering if maybe you wanted to come to dinner. ’

‘ i'm so sorry about my parents. what did they say exactly? ’

‘ okay, so you're pregnant. it's nothing to be ashamed of. ’

‘ it'll never happen again? is that what you were going to say? 'cause that's what you always say. ’

‘ are you ever going to tell me what happened with you two? ’

‘ well, it's a lot different here, i suppose. huh? ’

‘ i just can't understand how it happened. i mean, you're on the pill. ’

‘ this is my school and i don't want to see you or talk to you again. ’

‘ i had no idea you had a crush on someone. who is it? ’

‘ what happened to going to the doctor after school? ’

‘ that's why i love you. wait- no, no, not 'love' you, just... like you a lot. ’

‘ you here to steal another one of my brilliant ideas? ’

‘ fun? you think what you did to me was fun? ’

tori stands on the steps in front of degrassi community school, heart racing. it seems bigger than before. it's much more intimidating after her time away. she holds her backpack straps tightly and steps forward.

however, as she moves to take a step, her shoe catches on the bottom of one of the concrete stairs. she braces for impact.

[the astrology of drake v. kendrick] "don't tell no lies about me, and i won't tell truths about you"

[astro notes no. 013]

pluto in aquarius is whooping ass on all fronts and i need to unpack what the fuck is going on between kung fu kenny and jimmy from degrassi

disclaimer: this is all speculation and for fun, don't take it too seriously. i'm interpreting these aspects through the context of the information we were given in the diss tracks. there are various ways that energy can manifest, so if you share any of the aspects or placements in this post please do not take it personally lmao

"them super powers gettin' neutralized, i can only watch in silence the famous actor we once knew is lookin' paranoid and now is spiralin' you're movin' just like a degenerate, every antic is feelin' distasteful i calculate you're not as calculated, i can even predict your angle"

༄ let's begin by getting into drake's natal chart. for starter's, his sun is conjunct pluto in scorpio. unevolved plutonian people can be very paranoid, manipulative, and selfish in nature - all characteristics that kendrick (as well as other people in the industry) attribute to drake.

now, sun conjunct pluto isn't an inherently challenging aspect, these natives tend to be very influential figures, for better or for worse. this aspect is indicative of innately coming into positions of leadership, but unfortunately, there is a possibility for these natives to become jaded by the hardships, rejection, and loss they’ve faced in their lives and project that pain onto others.

this placement may also indicate strife between the native and their father (or any prominent authority figure from their youth), there may be wounding that shows up later in life as power struggles in both platonic and romantic relationships. as we know, drake's parents divorced when he was young, and his father would not long after be incarcerated due to drug-related offenses. further down the line, his father would go on to say that drake's claims of him being absent were fabricated and only a gimmick to sell music, which drake denies.

these natives also tend to be very spiritual, and/or engrossed in the “underbelly” side to life and those around them. personally, i think this definitely plays a role in drake’s tendency to want to play juvenile, internet games in beef (like latto said, get in the booth, bitch!), i.e. the meek mill memes during back to back, using bot accounts to spread rumors about pusha t, posting a photo of tory lanez's funky ass after megan dropped HISS, and now kendrick alluding to drake paying people to get dirt on him.

the energy of this aspect can influence this desire to expose the skeletons in everyone’s closets (even skeletons that aren’t there), despite all of the underaged skeletons in one's own closet. this can evolve into recurring power trips and a very self-destructive outlook on life, these natives can easily adopt this “self-fulfilling prophecy” of sorts, and legitimately distrust everyone around them and obsess over keeping tabs, receipts, and "tea" on people they don’t like.

༄ this sun/pluto conjunction being in drake's 3H, alongside his sun being the ruler of his 12H, and saturn in his 4H, all play a role in inducing his alleged paranoia, and can be viewed as a source of wounding as well. personally, i feel like the way that drake interacts with his peers and the way that he carries himself is very much defined by this sense of needing to control every narrative as to not feel like he's being subjected to the same rejection and coldness he encountered in his youth.

saturn in his 4H is indicative of a need to develop a sense of security in regards to one's family/domestic life, as there tends to be a lack of "warmth" in one's upbringing. the 4H is also representative of lineage, saturn being here could be indicative hardships regarding to the native's relationship to their ancestry, culture, ethnicity, etc. as we know, drake's relationship to his blackness and the culture in general has been under constant scrutiny since he came into the game.

and as a fellow biracial, this isn't because he's "not black enough" or because he has a white mom. it's because drake grew up in closer proximity to whiteness, and that experience has very obviously shaped the way he navigates his blackness and interacts with (and bites off of) black culture from quite literally every part of the world. it's similar to doja cat's situation, where there's an evident disconnect or internalized "shame" surrounding their black identities that very clearly hasn't been worked through. but funnily enough, when it's time to adopt a blaccent and tap into black culture to commodify it and sell it to a primarily white audience (whom of which will give attention to their work quicker than they would an artist that is fully black and/or darker skinned), they don't struggle or hesitate to do so.

so when kendrick says shit like "how many more black features 'til you feel black enough?" and rick ross calls him white (lmao), it has nothing to do with his biracial identity, and everything to do with him cherry-picking from different parts of the black diaspora to curate what is essentially a character for him, when it's clear he has no real understanding or respect for black culture to begin with.

drake also has mercury opposite his MC (and conjunct his IC), these aspects can indicate a struggle to navigate one's identity, alongside domestic, private life affairs having a significant impact on the native's character and mental headspace. specifically, it could be reasoning as to why drake is chooses to cosplay as a different version of black every 2-3 business days.

"life is hard, i know, the challenge is always gon' beat us home sometimes our parents make mistakes that affect us until we grown and you're a good kid that need good leadership let me be your mentor since your daddy don't teach you shit"

༄ i would also be remiss to not acknowledge how saturn in drake's 4H also plays a significant role in his connection to his son and (alleged) daughter.

while saturn is malefic, i do believe that if you work to develop whatever it's hitting in your chart (especially post your first saturn return), it can become a part of your life/personality where you hold the most expertise. and if we're going based off of meet the grahams, i have to question whether this is an evolved placement or not lmfao. kendrick claims that drake is struggling with his own father wound, and in turn has essentially passed that wound down to his (alleged) children by rejecting their existence, being majorly absent in their lives, and ultimately prioritizing fulfilling his ego over being a father.

༄ drake also has sun square mars, and while this aspect can grant the native with a very forthright nature and make them highly motivated to accomplishing their goals, this can also manifest as a very selfish, overly-aggressive character which can lead them to feeling isolated from those around them.

these natives can overplay their hand at times, or struggle with a lack of self control that ultimately results in their own detriment. they may also be very authoritative, and struggle in situations where they don't feel like they're completely in control.

༄ not only do these natal aspects provide context as to why drake is seemingly biting off more than he can chew, but so do the aspects in his transit chart. drake currently has jupiter and uranus opposite his natal mercury, alongside pluto square his natal sun.

all of this energy lends itself to a rushed, tense, and disorganized approach to one's communication and thought process. mentally, drake could be very scattered right now, and the seed that kendrick planted of there being a snake in the OVO camp is more than likely added pressure, especially when you consider pluto squaring his natal sun and the power struggles that adds.

with prominent pluto transits, specifically with squares, the smartest thing for the native to do is relinquish whatever control they think they have over a situation. in the context of this aspect, there's a confrontation with the ego that's occurring, and the native may struggle with finding balance in advocating for themselves and not going overboard. with drake specifically, it's evident that the lack of security in his own identity is not only a major point of contention for those around him, but it's something he internalizes and seemingly struggles with as well

personally, i think the best part of this beef is the fact that kendrick knows all of this about drake, and in proper gemini fashion, is several steps ahead of the game he's playing. telling an emotionally-stunted plutonian that you've seen every skeleton in their closet, that they have rats in their corner, that you peep the weak mind-games they're trying to play... and then telling them to call your bluff and see what happens? iconic.

༄ kendrick's transit chart is currently being dominated by saturnian and mercurial energy right now as well. it's giving very much stern, paternal, "stop crying before i give you something to cry about" energy.

saturn is square his natal saturn, which is activating the moon square saturn aspect in his natal chart. kendrick's natal moon is in his 5H in pisces, while his natal saturn is in his 2H in sagittarius. if you're familiar with kendrick you know that he had an extremely traumatic childhood, and in his work there's an ever-present theme of grappling between the fear of losing sight of his values to maintain his sense of security, and the spiritual dedication and emotional connection to his artistry, creativity, and children.

the moon square saturn aspect makes it difficult to feel anything other than abandonment and guilt, so much so that the native may resort to wanting to feel nothing at all. and you can definitely hear these themes being explored on Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers.

both drake and kendrick obviously share similar wounding and trauma in relation to their upbringing and how that impacted their abilities to emotionally connect to the people they love, including their children, which is why i find it funny (and damn near poetic) the fact that the latest disses the two have dropped are titled Family Matters and meet the grahams. the difference between the two, though, is that kendrick is undoubtedly far less scared to sit with the parts of himself that he hates than drake is. and don't get it twisted, i don't think kendrick is this spiritually-evolved messiah (he definitely gives hotep-uncle energy at times), but i do think that he not only has a stronger sense of self than drake, he's also far more self-aware and calculated in the game he's playing.

transiting saturn square kendrick's natal saturn indicates that he's being called to maintain balance and not fall into old patterns of forgoing the obligations he holds to both himself and the people he loves on account of the pain and resentment he harbors. this transit is also impacting the way he feels regarding his career and his role in the rap game. kendrick let us know on Control that he has respect and love for his peers, but he knows he's on a different level than them.

ultimately, this transit signifies a test to remain true to himself and true to his values, and i do feel like as time passes, there will be a greater understanding as to why drake is regarded as an entertainer, while kendrick is regarded as an artist.

since we're apparently among the only three people here who don't dislike Zaya...1. why do you think people have more trouble forgiving Zaya for their flaws when basically EVERY Degrassi ship is messy, flawed and complicated?! (Not judging anyone - we all like what we like, and things resonate with us for different reasons, I just find it interesting that people think Zaya is too toxic to forgive while some other Degrassi couples are objective just as messy and even more so) 2. Three Zaya scenes you love that show you they're meant to be? 3. Any songs you associate with Zaya? 4. Name three things Maya and Zig have in common and three differences they have that balance each other out! 5. Want to start a Zaya Appreciation Society with me? We can all share ice cream ;)

There are actually a solid amount of devoted Zaya fans. They're just harder to find. There's a reason I stick with Tumblr. Other places intimidate me and aren't worth the drama.

1.) Personal preference? Other than that, the existence of Campbell Saunders. Just as Zaya's potential romance was picking up steam and forming the foundation for their eventual relationship, Cam killed himself. Zig was the last person to speak to Cam. Regardless of Zig's intent or that during all of their interactions, Cam was the aggressor and the one who initiated all of their conflicts, the only thing the majority of Degrassi fans remember is that Zig pushed Cam over the edge. It never sat right with many viewers that Zig wasn't held more accountable for Cam's death or that Maya was so blasé about Zig's "confession". The writers' intent was clearly to send the message that no one is responsible for a suicide or anyone else's actions. But at the same time, you should still be mindful of others because you never know what's going on in someone else's head. Plus, I don't think Zig's character took quite the trajectory that some fans were expecting. He was supposed to have "learned" from Cam's death, meaning there was an expectation that he'd come away from the experience wiser with an acute awareness of how to navigate situations like this. It turns out, that never really happened. Zig tried his best and meant well, but he continued to be careless with words and was often in over his head. Zig also went on to feud with Maya's next boyfriend, Miles, where he was much more combative and kind of a shit starter. Miles was written with more care than Zig and quickly became the preferred character out of the two starting with season 14 and Next Class. So retroactively, Zig = bad, Miles = good. And lastly, a lot of people can't overlook cheating, even in fiction. While I take the stance that while I hate it, fictional cheating happening in teen dramas is highly likely, others felt too betrayed to continue supporting their relationship. Just overall, different people come away with different interpretations of characters and couples. In my opinion, Miles was far and away Maya's worst love interest and could have never made her happy in the long run even if they were both in heathier mindsets. Comparatively, I think Zig complemented Maya very well, offered constant emotional support and more often than not communicated well with her. Maya never seemed to be as happy with any guy as she was him once they were finally together. Others will tell you Miles was a great boyfriend, most of the things I just listed, and that Zig was a mediocre love interest.

2.) That's super tough to narrow down. I feel like I'm doing this wrong, but..

(1) Zig comforting Maya after Miles screams at her, reassuring her that he knows that she means well

It's the softness for me. It's how after the confusion with the season 13 love triangle and Zig being resistant to Maya's help, he gets it. He's here when she needs him the most. It's funny how for some, Maya and Zig getting together in the second half of season 14 came totally out of nowhere. But even though I didn't expect it when the season was airing, looking back it's very easy to see what was developing and how they were getting closer and closer each episode. Even though the Maya/Miles relationship lingered and Zig could have potentially gotten together with Zoe, those romances didn't pan out. To me, this is when their season 14 arc officially begins.

(2) Zig and Maya making up backstage

Yes, they were fighting and Maya was frustrated with Zig for trying to handle the gang on his own rather than turning Vince in, but he realized on his own (with the help of Damon) what needed to happen. We didn't see the full scene, but Zig clearly apologizes for their earlier conflict and for not initially going to the police. Maya is so forgiving and so prepared to forget the whole thing happened. Like she said. "You're here. We're together." That's literally all that mattered to her. No matter what happened, she was going to stick with Zig. No one can convince me that Maya Matlin wasn't equally and 100% as in love with Zig as he was her.

(3) Zig trying to cheer Maya up

Post bus crash, Maya was in the darkest place she'd ever been in. She was slowly losing all of her personal connections. At this point, it would be difficult to say Zig and Maya were even friends anymore. Their relationship ended in a very painful way with Maya still angry with Zig even months later. They both almost died. Zig entered a very public relationship with Esme. While they had occasional moments where they interacted that reinforced their connection, (in 302 when Zig asked Maya for advice about Esme), overall Zig wasn't part of Maya's life and therefore missed a lot of her warning signs. But, he did notice her on the verge of breaking down in the hallway and instantly knew something was wrong even if he couldn't have imagined the extent of it. So, Zig basically gently forces Maya to open up to him about what's going on. He knows she's struggling with something and isn't happy anymore, so he decides to cheer her up. This is Maya's first genuine smile the entire season. Every other time, she's either faking it or indulging in darker interests that only serve to trigger her more. And Maya clearly feels all the feelings in that moment. Yes, it's easier with Zig and he reminds her of happier times, but it's also very obvious how much she's still in love with him. This isn't technically part of the scene, but in the next episode Maya makes it a point to ask Esme to take care of Zig for her. The only other person we see Maya explicitly request be taken care of after she's gone is her mother. So, it says a lot about the depth of Maya's love for Zig and how much it would mean to her for him to be taken care of after she's gone. Anyways. Zig makes Maya happy and instinctively understands her.

4.) Ugh, I'm the worst at song questions.

It Might Be Love - Latch Key Kid (played during the first time they went to The Dot)

Oh My Love - Layla (played when Maya kisses Zig in season 14, kickstarting their relationship)

The Words You Say - Harrison Storm (played at the end of #YesMeansYes)

Lover - Taylor Swift (I know I'm basic, but it's their song)

5.) Three things Zig and Maya have in common.. they're both loyal, protective people and never afraid to fight for what's right, particularly when it affects someone they care about. I'll count that as two. It's honestly tough to find similarities, as weird as that sounds. They just match each other's energy and tend to be on the same wavelength. I'll say they're both pretty laidback. In spite of the fact they find themselves pulled into drama (especially poor Maya), they typically don't go out of their way to create it. Sometimes certain rivals will bring out that side of them, but overall they're chill people.

As for the differences that balance each other out.. Zig is the more sensitive one. He has a way of being quietly supportive and intuiting things while Maya internalizes a lot of her emotions. She's so desperate for nothing to go wrong that she almost avoids reality. I honestly think Zig grounds her a bit and forces her to be honest with herself. While both have good hearts, Maya is more compassionate and quicker to forgive. Even though it would sometimes be easier to lash out and the people wronging her would 1000% deserve it, Maya avoids conflict for the most part. Zig has never met a physical conflict he didn't want to throw against his locker. He means well, but he struggles with his anger from time to time and can't help but want to defend. Sometimes he's defending himself, other times he's defending the people he cares about. Maya provides a calming influence and encourages Zig to find better, healthier ways to handle his problems. This is so hard LOL. I feel like that's it? Who Maya is and who Zig is and how they interact with each other makes them an unusually good match. This is awful. I apologize.

5.) Absolutely!
