Aquarius Rising: Unique and loyal friend
These people grew up with an idea, to be different from everything they got used to seeing in their day to day. They could have grown up seeing many things that they didn't like, which could lead them to do things their own way and they could have difficulties with some people of authority because of it. A feeling of not fitting in either with your family or with people your age, which led you to fully appreciate when you felt that click with someone, being one of the companies, the most constant, fun and accepting. Your autonomy and independence are the most important things to you, you are always looking to forge your own path and leave your mark on whatever you are passionate about.
Although money is necessary to survive in our world, people with Pisces in the 2nd house tend to have a different approach to economic issues. They will not hesitate to use that money to help other people, coming to show many altruistic touches from a young age. They should learn to balance what they give and what they receive, because it is likely that on occasions they sin out of kindness and lend or give money to people who they will never return. Many of them may have a tendency to spend their money on their hobbies, especially if these are linked to art or esotericism, and sometimes they may feel that they spend money as fast as it comes into their hands. Their creativity and originality is something that gives them that confidence boost, it's something they feel proud of themselves. Something I have noticed is that they seem to have a unique and very close appreciation of art, especially music. Feeling that they can do things their own way, that they are not tied to something or someone gives them a sense of security, as well as the power to create whatever their mind wants. As it is a house linked to self-esteem, it can tell us about a certain variability in it, a lot of modesty on the part of the native and not knowing how to react to compliments, and although they do not know how, they will treasure it with great affection. They value things that are a little deeper, they don't like superficialities of any kind and they will always look for what seems most sincere and significant to them.
The mind of those with Aries in the 3rd house is admirable. Independent and quick thinking, these natives are people who remain firm to their own ideals, opinions and do not seek to please others, they seek autonomy in its maximum splendor. They are excited by the idea of ​​connecting with people who, just like them, have a mind of their own, one that is not biased by pleasing people behaviors or attitudes. They easily fascinate others, because they say what they think without fear of what might happen, they are firm and blunt with what they say, with a quick intellect capable of quickly understanding ideas of any kind. They have a tendency to be easily distracted and lose interest after doing something for a long time, they constantly seek mental stimuli and that is precisely what makes them have very varied interests. They are very ingenious people when it comes to making comments, they stand out for their great sense of humor, since this is random and capable of seeming hilarious to anyone. A mixture of reasoning and humor. They love the idea of ​​constantly learning new things, and if possible, doing it on their own, as it is something they enjoy doing more independently. In the case of having siblings, the relationship can oscillate between being dynamic and fun and having many differences with them, they are not usually very attached or demonstrative to each other but they can support each other when necessary.
With Taurus in the 4th house it is very likely that the native sees his home as something monotonous in some sense, the same environment, the same discussions, everything seems to have been the same for the natives. Something that absolutely all these natives grow up with is the desire to have something stable in their lives, to finally have a home that gives them peace and conformity, and when they finally find something that gives them that stability and tranquility, they don't let go easily. Somehow their environment influenced that need to protect what is theirs, to keep the things that they consider important and not to show vulnerability so easily. And it's not that they aren't emotional, on the contrary, they are very emotional, it's just that they reserve a large part of their feelings. This Taurus overlay also indicates that they may feel closer to one of their parents than to the other, since with the latter they tend to feel some distance or even distrust in some cases. Those who really know them will know that they can be very stable people in their relationships, people who fill their loved ones with details and security, as well as being reliable people who will always try to be there for those they love, either to listen to them or advise them. In order for them to feel emotional comfort, closeness with those they love is crucial, even if their adventurous and inquisitive personality encourages them and makes them attract changes, they do not like changes as much as is often rumored, stability and trust are things that they treasure and irregular or inconstant displays of affection cause them disgust.
Mercury ruling the 5th house is something very fascinating that brings many interesting suitors to the natives. Having Gemini in the 5th house makes the native master the language of seduction, makes them very adept at flirting and realising the true intentions of the people who want them, they are very observant and attentive to the actions of those who say they have an interest in them and are not fooled by them. Many different people can be attracted to them, because there is a playful and jovial beauty in them. Despite this appearance, these natives do not mince words and games, they are looking for a mental connection, someone to talk to for hours and someone who knows how to keep their attention. In terms of hobbies, many of them may like to read romance or drama novels, they will enjoy movies of these genres and even comedy ones, and of course, they can be excellent writers, especially if they have a metaphorical or poetic way of writing. From a very young age they begin to consider whether or not they want to have children, and regardless of what they choose, these natives tend to connect very well with children and have that facility to understand and communicate with them.
Having Cancer in the 6th house, that is, the house of health, it is necessary for the native to work a lot in their emotional world, since many of them may have this tendency to get sick due to some emotional discomfort that is projected on a physical level. Many of them may not sleep due to stress or intrusive thoughts, just as they may have irregular eating periods due to their emotional state. Many of them seem to understand very well the needs and emotions of other beings, both human and animal. Since I mentioned it, you can feel very close to animals and they will always be kind, loving and helpful to them, even if they are not your pets. These people seek to work for a specific reason, often a cause or a goal, and it is unlikely that they decide to dedicate to something just because they will be paid well, they seek to feel comfortable with their work and do something that they really like, and feel that it is of some use to them and to others. It is likely that these natives get bored doing household chores and may procrastinate doing them, considering them very boring and monotonous. Something very common in them is constantly doing things they used to do as children, whether it's watching the same movies they loved so much or listening to songs that take them back to moments they treasure. They may have a tendency to melancholy and some mood swings.
These people do not seek to be like someone, they seek to be themselves and do things their way, which makes them stand out from the crowd and attract attention. Leo in the 7th house manifests itself as a charming and charismatic person even if the native himself does not perceive himself that way. Very protective and stable people in their relationships, this without neglecting the fun and joy that they seek to bring to those they love the most. Despite this, the natives could feel invisible to others who claimed to love them, therefore, what they seek in a relationship is attention, perseverance and a noble heart willing to love them as much and with the intensity with which they love themselves. They make clear that they don’t need someone to be happy, and they seem to be okay without any partner, but sometimes it can be due to the fear of becoming dependent or loving a person who will leave them. They give their partners that passion for living, reasons to smile and lots of love. They are capable of making their loved one feel the most attractive person in the world, as well as the luckiest. They will always look for the happiness of both as a couple, and they will seek to support their partner unconditionally. They tend to get carried away more by their emotions when they are in a relationship and they will always take care of that love that brings so much euphoria to their lives. Lucky to attract the attention of others. This placement indicates that the native can marry a passionate, ambitious person who will make their love for them very evident.
There is too much going on in their internal world, and that is what we will explore through Virgo in the 8th house. Many of them struggle with this tendency to overthink things, from why what happens in their lives happens, to why people have certain attitudes towards them [whether good or bad]. These people may have felt that at some point in their life they were being asked to be perfect, whether it was their family, friends or even themselves who wanted to achieve perfection because they felt that there was something wrong with themselves. Being ruled by Mercury, it enhances the curiosity of the native, who will love to talk and discover all those topics that seem interesting to him. They tend to be very interested in things that many others find strange, taboo or very complex. They tend to be attracted to intelligent and mysterious people with a cunning sense of humor. Since we are talking about attraction, we must say that these people may seem aloof or indifferent, but they carry a great sexual desire that is simply subtle in the eyes of others. This independent personality that anyone would notice about them is what is often seen as irresistible to others. The subject of domination can be something very attractive for them [either dominating or being dominated], in addition, they seek to satisfy all the fantasies of their partner in various ways and find pleasure through the pleasure of their partner.
Sometimes what seems different or very distant to us can be terrifying, but it is not the case of these natives, who are fascinated and enchanted even with the small details of other cultures or countries. Libra in the 9th house gives them the ability to appreciate different types of beauty and to connect harmoniously with many kinds of people regardless of their origin. They are enchanted by the idea of ​​knowing the unknown, of being able to have the opportunity to travel and see those places that have always caught their attention. Art is something very beautiful to them, they are in awe of art and it would not be surprising that many of them do some kind of art as a hobby. They are interested in social issues around the globe, and have a strong belief that we are all and should be treated equally. Justice is something very important to them and they always stand up when witnessing situations of injustice. This placement can indicate studying something related to humanities, design, art or even law. The union is something crucial for them, and although they have a strong individuality, they understand that unity is strong and necessary on many occasions, they will be willing to help people who need it. They teach other people the beauty and joy that sharing time or thoughts with someone can bring, likewise many people may feel that these natives are experts in connecting and understanding others no matter how different they may be.
There is something fascinating running through the aura of these natives and the person responsible for this is Scorpio in the 10th house. There is something about them that makes them fascinating in the public eye, something magnetic that makes you unable to take your eyes off them and the more you see their look, the more reasons it gives you to keep watching. They draw attention quite easily, as they are a mix of mystery and sexyness, standing a few feet from you but feeling so far away at the same time. These natives can have somewhat of a mixed reputation, while some view them as unapproachable, others may describe them as controversial, whether due to their unconventional ideals, actions, or simply labelling them. These natives seek to project themselves as strong and unbreakable people, they dislike feeling that they have revealed a lot about themselves or that they have shown themselves to be vulnerable in some way. Mars and Pluto rule this house, the career house, so you are blessed with the ambition of both planets, as well as perseverance and leadership skills. You can suggest that they will work on something in which they have a leadership position, where they make important decisions or that allows them to transform or make big changes in some area.
Sagittarius in the 11th house can give us many interesting interpretations. The first is that once conversing with them, these natives can seem more sociable than they really are. Many of them know how to have fun, and have that unique ability to light up the atmosphere of the site and the mood of others, however they give a very special meaning to the term "friendship" and that is that although it is crucial for them to know someone with whom they share points of view and a sense of humour, they seek loyal and deep company, with whom they can ask to talk about many topics no matter how deep or personal they are. This house is ruled by Jupiter, so it augurs charisma, charm and popularity [whether in real life or on the internet], likewise, it also indicates that through their work they can make a lot of profit [especially if Jupiter it's here or in earth houses]. The person can get a lot of luck through working with others. They can have that facility to create friends through the internet or with whom there is a lot of physical distance. They are very visionary people with many long-term plans, it is likely that they work on many things or projects simultaneously, we must mention that there is a probability that some of these natives procrastinate.
With Capricorn in the 12th house there is friction between you and the world around you, very subtle for them, but one that presses on your chest and hits your mind every time you interact with someone. A part of you wants to connect with others and forge lasting bonds with lots of people, but memories of a lonely past where attempts were crushed by feelings of not fitting in and being judged have made you shut down and forget the idea, that dream of clicking with people. Showing yourself in control of the situation, even of yourself but deep down you fear. Fears, it's something we all have... but what about you? What can a being as sublime as you fear? Falling into a routine, doing what others tell you to do, or feeling like you can't forge your path seems terrifying. But if there is something that you fear more often than this, it’s having even the slightest proof of failure, the fear of taking a wrong step that will bring down your efforts, feeling that there is no reward for working hard. You want to stand out and feel like you are successful, being just yourself, you could be compared a lot in the past either by others or by your younger self, so you developed the need to do things on your own, the way that you want and of course, being someone unique. Burdened with guilt, emotions and a negative perception of yourself that you try to supply and alleviate by achieving great things and living up to the high expectations you set for yourself. If you only knew that your mere presence, that your actions, your dreamy side, your ambitions and how you pursue them are truly inspiring to those around you. "Be the person you would have liked to have by your side." Many times you felt alone, especially when things fell apart, but you know that you don't want to be that for others. The people who are with you feel capable of achieving whatever they want to achieve because they have your support, they have your vision, and most importantly, you are there. You do not need to prove yourself to anyone, not even to yourself, you are a person deserving of good things and good company. Future doesn’t have to be the way your past was, it’s going to be alright, love.

Just wanted to mention this because I’m finally getting to revise this scene within the second part and I’m excited to talk about it! When the MC gets to Aurelian, and the dorm you’ll be staying in, you’ll be able to choose your rooms design. (Since Aurelian Academy is enchanted, the magic will happily oblige.)
And, yes, each one will potentially offer unique reactions from the various characters.
You’ll be able to choose from these:
Cozy: A crackling hearth sends off a gentle glow throughout the room, something that only exemplifies the dark color palettes strewn throughout: showcased in the deep engravings within the wooden walls, in the plush rug stretched in front of a couch within the small sitting area situated in the corner of the room. It’s a place that radiates warmth, safety, and a general feeling of home.
Elegant: Tastefully chosen decor— from the leather sectional to the hand-engraved bookshel, and even the beautifully crafted stained glass window— complements the overall feel of the room, as well as the beautifully handcrafted crystal chandelier that offers the central lighting. It’s a place that radiates power, wealth, and, above all, comfort.
Gothic: Straight out of the classic vampire guidebook— the room is splashed with black, blood red, with the barest hints of dark gray. Various alcoves are dotted throughout, filled with various oddities, and stone gargoyles stand as sentries within the topmost ones. Dragon clawed scones offering the main lighting for the room. It’s a place that’d make Count Dracula proud.
Minimalist: Less is more, right? Well that saying is personified within this room! Clean lines, sparse furniture, only the necessities, along with a neutral color palette. This place radiates a certain light and airiness that can rarely be found anywhere else!
Normal: The typical Aurelian Dorm experience! Why customize it when you have everything you already need? A simple bay window, along with a sturdy elevated bed, with a desk situated underneath, are the main focal points of the room. Added on, you’ll find a few bookcases, a small couch, and a rather nice rug. It’s a room that’s so good you don’t need to even think about changing it!
Nature: Why go outside when you can simply stay in your room? The bed is seemingly carved at the base of a grand tree itself, along with a small meadow being created to simulate the main sitting area— with bits of bioluminescent bark, mushrooms, and fireflies (not real), being the main lighting of the room. It’s a place that any nature lover will love to spend their downtime in!
Colorful: Why have one simple color scheme when you can have them all? The rainbow has made its home within your room, and you wouldn’t have it any other way! A slew of different colors are dotted throughout— from the tie dye bedspread to the multicolored flames that dance within the hearth— to give you whatever you may need! This is a place that’ll never have you seeing in black and white!

*dividers created by @firefly-graphics​
Tumblr media
You smile as you look around the third location of The Bubble Bea Beanery.  What started as a cute quaint coffee and tea shop had turned into something so much more.  Growing beyond your expectations.  The new site was coming along perfectly.  You didn’t even have to tell your assistant what you wanted, she just knew.  It had the same vibe as the other two locations, but each store had its own unique spin and personality.
Your cousin yells your name as she slings the door open,and you turn to greet her.  Spinning around in the store with your arms spread wide and the biggest smile on your face.  You were so proud, “So we need to talk,” Chelsea starts off, without even a short sweet hello.  
“About what?” Chelsea was always up to something, and always getting you in trouble.
“You know I love you, and I love what you’re doing here.  The Bubble Bean is adorable.”
“But?” There was always a but.  Especially with the way she had approached this conversation.  
“You don’t have anyone to share it with.”
“Ugh,” you scoff, rolling your eyes as you head towards the storage room.  Chelsea follows you, wanting to start speaking, but you cut her off, “Do you not think I haven’t tired?  You act as if I hole up alone every night in my apartment.  I don’t.  I just don’t think there’s anyone worth my time.  I would rather be single than settle, and…why are you smiling?”
“I did something stupid, but it paid off,” you open your eyes wide as you hold out your arms, glaring at her.  “Why are you looking at me like that?”
“You are smiling, and you said you did something stupid.  I’m not doing speed dating nonsense.”
“I’m not asking you to.  I…I can’t proceed down this path without your consent.”
“No.”
“You don’t even know what it is,” she counters.  Following you as you walk further away.  Starting to pack up bags of coffee beans.  “I’m trying to help you.”
“No.”
“But I want to help you.”
“Absolutely no.”
“Please, just hear me out,” sighing, you stop your movements and give her your undivided attention.  “It’s not the best timing.  And before you say anything, just listen.  I know you’ve got the third store opening, and there’s still so much to do, but I signed you up for something.”
You roll your eyes because it was always something she was wanting you to do.  Cousins, but also best friends.  She found love early, and had children early.  Now she wanted to live vicariously through you as you navigated trying to find someone that was worth having more than three dates with.  “You were approved to go on The Bachelor.”
“Shut the fuck up.”
“The season you're on has a music producer named Nick Vaughan on it, and…”
“Shut up!  The Bachelor?  Like the show we have a FaceTime call every Monday night to watch?” Chelsea nods her head, and reaches into her pocket for her phone before she shows you a picture, “This is Nick?”
“Yep.  And I know what you’re thinking…”
“He’s hot.”
“That is not at all what I thought you were thinking.  But I’m going to shut up, you work it out in your head.  Can I make a bubble tea?”
“No,” you groan, trying to think things through logically.  What would it actually feel like to date a guy that was obviously dating twenty other women?  To know that you weren’t the only person he was talking to.  You wouldn’t be the only person he was spending time with.  Was developing sincere feelings even possible?  You enjoyed the show, but that didn’t mean you wanted to be on the show.  That was a lot to think about.
“We’re on time crunch.  There’s other girls that want to be on.  And they chose you.  I don’t know what the criteria is, and I’m not going to pretend to know, but The Bachelor with that hot guy.  What do you have to lose?”
“I’m opening up a new store.”
“And Claudia has made all the decisions.  You just told me that yesterday.”
“But it’s not open.”
“Claudia and you hired several new employees.  Rick is going to test them on their coffee making skills.  Babes, even though you’ve got a new store opening, you’ve got this down.  It’s completely perfect.  And you can do this.  You can go on this stupid show and have fun.  Maybe make out with a hot guy, and make your last boyfriend that lasted a total of three months, jealous.  You could have that hot man make out with you on camera, and try and get it in.  And every man that used the excuse that they weren’t in the right place in their life can swallow rocks while you fuck Nick.”
“You can’t do that.  It’s what the fantasy suite is for,” it actually didn’t sound like a bad idea.  It sounded fun.  But could you trust everyone on your team to make this store happen?
“Okay, you get to travel, have fun, meet this incredibly hot guy, spend time with women exploring different locations, and then there’s this possibility of finding love.  How bad could this be?”
“Why would you say that?” You ask, childishly stomping your foot.  She knows how superstitious you are, and that was not necessary.  “You have ruined everything now.”
“So does that mean you’re going to go?” Chelsea taps her knuckles on the cabinets three times before you ever nod your head yes.  You were going to do it, but it was only to have fun.
Tumblr media
Nick rubs his hand over his brows, scrunching his eyes.  He is annoyed.  “Why am I doing this again?”
“It’s good publicity,” Nick’s hand slaps down on the arm of the chair as he glares over at his manager.  “You said you didn’t have time to date, and you weren’t into just sex.  Here you go.  You get to date twenty-six women at once.”
“Sounds exhausting.”
“And they all know that you’re dating all of them,” Nick rolls his eyes, settling back more into his chair.  Dating around out in the open when you were the only male, and the women lived together, “Nick, it’s for a few weeks.  What is the worst that could happen,” Nick’s eyes turn into saucers as he stares over at his manager, and Mickey taps his knuckles on the table beside him three times.
“Seriously?  You know I hate sentences like that.”
“And I did your odd little ritual or knocking on wood three times.  You signed the contract though.  You’re doing it.  Just have fun.  Meet women.  Enjoy yourself.”
Nick did not think he would enjoy himself.  He thinks this show is going to be corny.  The only thing he can hope for is maybe some fun.  Maybe get to meet some attractive women.  But he knows the drama is coming.  He knows his normally private life is going to be exaggerated to make it look more exciting on television.  Fake dates, and too many women; a lot could go wrong.
Tumblr media
Nick looks out at the property of the mansion, shaking his head.  The women are gorgeous.  They seemed interesting, and first impressions aren't everything, but there was nobody he had met that he actually saw himself with.  There could always be something more.  But it was starting to feel monotonous.
Gorgeous women.  And this was just speed dating.  It is all it was.  He says his hellos, nodding his head.  He’s polite, and notices the camera.  They all put on a show for him.  They wanted him to remember them.  And still they blurred together.
He looks over at the producers, giving them a curt nod as he sighs.  “How long is this supposed to last?”
“You signed the contract,” a nameless, faceless producer reminds him.
“Right.  Is that all of them?” He had been standing here for ages.  When they shake their heads, he lets out a dramatic puff of air.  “She’s late?”
“Yes.  Her driver.”
Nick wants to fire the driver.  “Is she the last one?” Another nod from the producer.  This is what he didn’t like.  Things weren’t in his control here when in real life they normally were.  He was the director of things in the studio.  He told other’s what to do.  And now he was being controlled by people he didn’t know and a bunch of giggly women.  He is already exhausted thinking about it.
“Finally,” Nick whispers as headlights shine on the damp pavement.  
Pursing your lips, you exhale slowly as the car rolls into place.  He looks annoyed.  This was a terrible idea.  He couldn’t even look at the car.  The driver couldn’t find your location.  You knew you were going to be the first to be sent home.  You couldn’t even see his face.  He was disinterested before even meeting you because of something beyond your control.
Grabbing onto the door handle, you pull the lever, and step out of the car.  Nick’s head tips forward, and your eyes lock in with his crystal blue eyes.  “Hey,” he says with a boyish grin.
“Hey,” you smile back.  His pictures didn’t do him any justice.  He is handsome, but it was so much more than that.  There seemed to be a young mischievous quality about him.  You give him your name, and he pulls up your hand up to his mouth, kissing over your knuckles.  
“I’m Nick.”
“I know,” he hadn’t dropped your hand, and you had no intention of removing it.  “I’m sorry.  I’m nervous.”
“I was,” you clear your throat, looking down to the ground.  It was too soon.  You did not want to be the one saying you were in love the first night.  “So…uh…what do you do?”
“I own a couple coffee shops.  Putting up the third.”
“I love coffee.  What’s it called?”
“The Bubble Bee Beanery,” Nick’s eyes somehow get brighter, and his smile widens.  His thumb starts making shapes on the top of your hand, and you become even more nervous.  Who was this man to get you to act like a school girl?
“You’re a New York girl?” Staring at him confused, you nod your head.  “Upper East Side?”
“Yes,” your word drags out.  Had he done some research on you ladies, and he just knew it was you.
“I love the Bubble Bee.  My order is the Metropolitan.  I don’t always get to go in there; my assistant gets it most of the time.  I prefer the flagstone store.  And…that’s yours?  I’ll admit the bubble tea is not really my thing, but the coffee is top notch.  Naming specialty drinks after parts of the city is cute.  It’s just good coffee.  Not too gimmicky.  And you did this show for what reason?”
“To hopefully find love.  Isn’t that why you signed up?” You couldn’t tear your eyes away from him, even if you wanted to.  He still hadn’t quit touching you.  His hand was steadily in your own.
“Yeah.  Yeah, I did,” his eyes coast up and down your body, admiring every bit of your soft curves.  You are surprising to him, in the best way possible.  Not at all stuffy like the other girls.  There was a playfulness.  A soft quality.  While everyone else was just trying to be sexy, you are being lighthearted.  
“You should probably head in for cocktails.”
“Will I get to talk to you the rest of the night?  Or are you going to mingle some more?”
“I have to mingle.  But I definitely want to see you out in the garden.  Just you and me.  Bring a drink,” a producer beckons Nick over to him, and Nick runs his thumb and forefinger over his beard.  Making you weak, and visioning sinful thoughts about him.  Maybe this experience isn’t going to be too bad.  And maybe you could at least have some fun.  You did like what you were seeing.
It feels weird to be in a house of women that are looking at one guy.  The same guy that you couldn’t keep your eyes off.  The very man that you had to keep telling yourself that he was not locking eyes with you.  He couldn’t be sitting on a couch with four other women, and his sight drifting to yours.  That was most definitely not what was happening.  Never.
Nick stands from the couch, giving each lady a nod before walking right over towards you, his hand going towards your free hand, “What are you drinking, bellissima?”
“Are you Italian?”
“Not that I’m aware of.  But beautiful just seems a bit too cliche tonight.  Bellissima has a spark.  What’s in your cup?”
“It’s a whiskey sour.”
“Hmm,” he says with a grin, pulling your hand into his.  “Follow me.  Let’s get a bit of privacy.
Holding onto your hand, he leads you outside, and you hear whispers immediately.  Could feel eyes stabbing in the back of your head.  You were going to be talked about.  You had seen the show enough that anytime a girl was pulled away from the group, everyone had something to say.  You didn’t go to Nick, he came to you.  Now you were a target.
He sits down, and pulls you right along with him.  His arm wraps around you.  “If we were here, I would have already taken you home.”
“What makes you think I would have followed you?  I’m not that kind of girl, Nicholas.”
“Oh, she likes using the whole name when she’s calling me out.  So, what kind of girl are you, Bella?” Your brow perks up, and you find yourself leaning slightly more into him.  “I can’t go around calling you bellissima in front of the other ladies.  They’ll get jealous.  So, Bella, what kind of a girl are you?”
“Someone who wants a partner.  I can do life by myself.  I just want to enjoy life with someone.  I don’t need a man, I want a man.  Have our shared moments, create new memories, and have fun.”
“Well, this show is for marriage,” you’re not an idiot.  You knew it was for marriage, and respond with a grin, and a slight nod.  “Clearly, you want to be married, so that’s good.”
“And what about you?  Is marriage something you’ve wanted?” There is something oddly liberating about not holding back with this line of questions.  Both of you knew the end goal, and that was marriage.  You didn’t have to go through months of dating only to realize he didn’t believe in marriage.  Or waste your time because you were not the girl he wanted to marry, he had a different vision.  It was always an excuse, but it was never you they wanted.
“I’ve always wanted marriage.  I’m a bit of a hopeless romantic.  I find women nowadays don’t align with what I want.”
“Oh,” he had to have a flaw.  And here it was.  He was going to tell you.  He had a sick idea of a housewife that had no personality.  Of course he had to have something wrong with him.
“I want…I think people see me as a way to meet celebrities.  I want to be able to bring my girlfriend, or wife with me to parties, and events.  I just don’t want her to run off with one of the artists I’m working with.  They have the fame, and the adoration.  I have the talent behind the scenes, why would they want me?”
“Why would they not?” He gives you a serene smile, but you know he’s been hurt.  From the sounds of it more than once with a cheating girlfriend.  “If someone is going to leave you like that, or cheat on you like that, they never loved you to begin with.  It was a means to find someone else.  I hate cheaters.  I’ve never understood it.  Just leave.  Cheating hurts everyone involved, and nobody realizes that until it’s too late.  Oh…”
You take a deep breath in as Nick’s nose touches your own.  His cologne mixes with the beer he had been nursing, and it makes you dizzy.  It isn’t until he pulls your drink out of your hand that you realize that your legs were laying over top of his.  Things felt comfortable, and you had only met this man.  
“I’d like to kiss you,” Nick’s lashes flutter on your cheek, and you want nothing more than to touch his lips with your own.
“You say that to all the girls here,” it was the first damn night, and every movement of your mouth has your lips brushing up against his.  
“They’re boring.  Let me kiss you,” you respond by puckering your lips and pulling him into you.  You had told yourself that you wanted to have fun, and didn’t want to hold back.  You didn’t believe you could find true love on this show, but getting to kiss a sexy man was worth it.
“She’s already kissing him,” Nicole says as she marches back to the other girls.  “She’s going to be a problem.  She’s a fast mover.  She probably said something to him when they first met.  He couldn’t take his eyes off her.”
“It’s the first night.  She’s just trying to get a rose,” Holly sighs.  Everyone was here for the same thing, and that was him.  It sucks that she wasn’t the one to get a kiss, but she couldn’t fault you.
“No, they’re totally making out.  It’s the first night.”
You have to pull away from Nick, gasping for air as you stare into those bright blue eyes.  Noticing all the different shades that made up the color blue that was unique to him.  “You felt it?” He whispers.  “Don’t play games, Bells.  I’m not.  You’re getting the first impression rose.  I’ve…I need some air.”
There was a difference with kissing him.  Nothing had ever felt better.  Nothing has ever even tasted better than his lips.  His tongue.  And there were cameras capturing it all.  Even the tightness of his pants, and quick departure.
Tumblr media
Jena grabs the card, squealing as she starts to open it, “Make sure you’re laser focused,” after she says your name with the other group of girls, you lose interest.  You are going on a group date, with something that involves lasers, and you are getting to see Nick again.
“So is he a good kisser?”
“Hmm?” Looking up from your bland coffee, you stare at one of the nameless contestants.  You couldn’t keep up.  There were so many of them.
“You going to play innocent when Nicole saw you and Nick kissing.  So was he any good?” You didn’t have to listen to this.  You aren’t opposed to making friends, but the point of the show wasn’t them.  It was him.  “That bad or that good?”
“What do you want me to say?  Nick and I kissed.  I’ll admit to that, as to everything else it doesn’t matter.  I’m going to get dressed for the date.”
“He left the cocktail hour.  Barely talked to anyone.  Maybe her kiss was the one that was so bad he couldn’t stand being around her.”
“She got a first impression rose.  I don’t think it was a bad kiss.”
“And he still asked her for a group date.”
They weren’t slick, or quiet.  No wonder there was always so much drama on here.  You could hear everything.  And you learned quickly that if you didn’t hear it someone would tell you what you missed. A constant trying to pit everyone against each other.  It was going to be a long seven weeks.  If you made it that far.
Tumblr media
Laser tag.  Of course that’s what the date card meant.  And of course you being caught making out with Nick had everyone immediately wanting to go up against you.  Not all could.  You had to be put into teams.  Your team got lucky, you’re an excellent shot.  
“Oof!” You choke out as someone pulls you into a hidden alcove of the arena.  Back slamming against the wall, and then the softest touch of his fingertips run down your side, “Nick, we can’t…”
“I had to see you.  There’s never enough time with you.  There’s no cameras here.  And I can’t stay away.  You feel it right?” Biting at your lip, you nod your head.  Trembling as his hands grips to your hip.  Fingers digging into your skin, while his thumb makes shapes on your stomach so tenderly.  His hand rests on the wall beside your head, and you suddenly understand all those romance novels.  This is the perfect angle for him.
“You’re getting a rose,” he informs you, biting at his lip.  Unsure of whether this was part of the show or not, but you liked it.
“I don’t need you to tell me that.”
“I want to be open and honest with you about what I’m thinking.  You’re getting a rose.  You’re not going anywhere, and from how I feel right now, you’re not going anywhere anytime soon.  I need you to stay and see where this goes.  Kiss me.”
Shaking your head no, you pull him closer.  Your hand drops the laser gun and you run you shaking fingers up his back, “You better kiss me, or I’ll make sure Nicole gets a good shot at you.”
“This is too fast,” was it the show or getting caught up in the feelings that made people fall so fast.  When you watched the show you laughed at these women.  Now you understand.  You could see it happening, and feel it right before your eyes.  It didn’t even feel free.
“So?  This is not a normal way of dating.  This is entertainment for millions, and this kiss is just for us.  Kiss me like you wanted to last night.  No cameras.  No bullshit.  Just…” your hand coasts to his neck, and you pull him into you.  Slotting your lips on his, and the hand beside your head moves to the back of your neck, and he presses his weight into you.
Breathless isn’t even the word.  It’s shocking.  Lightning sparks through your veins when his tongue licks over your lips, and you grant him access.  Whimpering in his mouth, and clinging to him so tightly.  This wasn’t a normal first kiss.  This was just the beginning of passion.  Had this alcove had more room, you would have been pulling him to the floor.  
Nick starts ghosting his lips down your jaw, settling on your neck, and gives you a tiny little nip.  Rolling his hips into your body, “Nick, we can’t.”
“I want to.”
“I want to, too, but,” your words drown out as his mouth dips even lower on your body.  “Nick, please.”
“I love that word coming out of your mouth,” you mewl as he kisses down your chest.  Fingers weaving through his hair.  “My god, Bella…”
“Stop.  Stop stop,” he stands up immediately, staring at your kiss bruised lips.  “They already hate me.”
“I saw the footage.  It seems to just be a couple that hate you.”
“I watch the show.  I know how girls can be.  Just…I like this, but we have a contract.  And not all of us want to buy ourselves out of it.  This was fun.”
“Maybe, we’ll do it again?”
It was cruel.  Having to follow someone else’s rules, and not just your own.  They weren’t even Nick’s rules, but the studios.  “You know where to find me,” you playfully answer, and his eyes drift down your body as you begin to leave.  
“I’ve got a rose just for you,” and let the games begin.

🐚🫧Astrology Notes🫧🐚
🌼10th house and 5th house synastry differences. 10th house partner respects your feelings, you as a person and takes you seriously. From this can come some mature serious relationship. 5th house is fun energy which means that the person looks at you as a fun person, with the soft soul, person is cool with you ,but nothing more. Because you still don’t look at a person as if you can have anything more than that with them. In many cases, you don’t take it seriously. The 5th house represents a youthful relationship, a temporary bond that we outgrow. While 10th house represent maturity and adulthood. It represents a relationship that we take seriously and see as potential.
🌞Sun in 1st house synastry-the person may see you as immature, childish, or may not take you seriously. As a person who may be too immature or proud.
🪐Saturn in 1st house synastry-you look at the person as serious and mature, you respect her and person seems very smart and wise to you. Maybe even intimidating.
🦋Neptune 1st house synastry-a person can see you as a dream person, dreams a lot about you but may not see you after who you really are.
☁️Uranus in 1st house synastry-the person sees you as unique, special, different. You can impress her and person will remember you quickly.
🌊Neptune in 12th house - will have a lot of talent for music, drawing, creating, spirituality. These people are very good at the imagination and the things they do. But many times they are not aware of it. They don’t have as much contact with spirituality and may encounter it later in life. They usually find out about it through others. Because the 12th house is unconscious which means that people are not aware of these things so it is harder to get to them.
🎸North node in 12th house- Someone with this position in chart may find it difficult to cope with subconsciousness and spirituality. Therefore, these people may never come into contact with spirituality or their subconscious because it is harder to find.
💫Capricorn/ aries/ aquarius placements- all independnent. Person with this placements will be focused on themselves and their needs. Aries are in general independment, they don’t need anybody , they can do everything alone. Its not the problem for them. Capricorn are practical and responsible and like to act alone. They also don’t like to waste time with others. Also don’t like to adapt too much to others, they rely only on themselves. Aquarius love society and people but often feel alienated from it.
3rd house represent how you deliver the message. 🍓Venus here tends to be diplomatic, 🥀Mars forthright and unwilling to compromise, Jupiter ca be effusive, 💫Saturn more taciturn. But someone with Saturn in the 3rd house can convey a strong message. Maybe a person is not so eloquent but when person speaks really says something meaningful, so people can be more attentive.
✨Dominion:A sign in which a planet is at its strongest.
🌴The planet that is aspected the most by other planets and essential bodies is important to look at. The most aspected planet is challenged because the energy of that planet must integrate so many other aspects, but this also makes the planet a powerful focal point for the same reason. For ex.: if the Mercury is the most aspected u will gain great wisdom. Much of this person's life will be connected to the gathering of information, learning, and communication.

Horizon Tag Game
Thank you for tagging me @nerd-artist! :)
1. Ride or die ship (Your otp):
Ereloy. When I first got my ps4 Horizon was one of the first games I ever played back in 2019 and MAN. The dynamic and stories that surround these two. They're polar opposites both in writing, origin and personality. Like many Ereloys I fell hard at the Two Minutes Convo™️ back in hzd when Aloy was all mission and no time to waste. Not only did she reassure Erend when he most needed it, but also promised him a bit more of her time than what little he had asked her for. (Also, the way Guerrilla team describes Erend in regards of his relationship with Aloy is just SUCH TEASING. They love their friendship as much as we do and the puppy mentions are my fave meal.)
Their relationship has developed like HELL in hfw and I'm so here for it. Their closeness and chemistry is out of this world, and to see Aloy be soft and smile with him makes me hope for more moments in HZ3 where she can have fun with him when we go to 🕯️The Claim🕯️. The care they have for eachother is more than evident, too, and all the special focus they both had in HFW still has me thinking they might be endgame in Hz3. I just can't escape them.
2. Most annoying ship: Hating a ship in public? In this economy??
3. Second favorite ship: Morlund and Abadund. Ray of sunshine and little rain cloud ship? Sign me the fuck up. Oh also Vanasha x Uthid. Delish.
4. Favourite platonic relationship: Erend and Varl, whatever Erend and Kotallo have going on, Aloy and Talanah, Beta and Erend, Zo and Aloy, ALOY AND BETA (Super exited for the possible 'Teaching Beta how to hunt' Aloy moment. Need more sisters bonding!)
5. Underrated ship: Morlund x Abadund.
6. Overrated ship: The Horizon fandom is kinda small tbh, so, none thus far.
7. One thing i would change in canon: Ugh. A lot. Kinda noticed that the horizon writing has been kinda lazy after hzd so that explains a lot. Varl’s death, the returning character's treatment in hfw, (Erend got written like a CLOWN in the base dialogue), Most of the Hfw DLC, the small amount of Beta and Aloy bonding in hfw, which made the whole 'sister' thing came outta the blue honestly, The Zeniths showing up too soon in the story for my liking, some writing, mostly.
8. Something canon did right: You know what? HZD. BEAUTIFUL introduction to the game's amazing world. The effort that came into creating every tribe is evident and each one of them has this gorgeous presence in the games. Then the worldbuilding, too. The amazing characters that were made (both main and minor), and to tie it off, the way everything comes together in a perfect symphony surely makes the Horizon universe be unique. The delicate balance of the world and its inhabitant's interactions with one another's makes the world so rich and gorgeous. Major kudos there.
9. A thing i'm proud of creating for the fandom PLEASE BRAG ABOUT YOURSELF I WANT TO SEE/READ YOUR ART: Well, I never thought I'd ever be able to draw digitally and let alone post it online to begin with, so it's been a ride for me. I've evolved a lot ever since my first drawing was posted here, and I'm more than grateful for everyone that has enjoyed the fruits of what I can offer.
The most difficult piece I've ever done and my favorite this far is the Evening at Hidden Ember piece. I have it printed in crappy paper and framed on my bookshelf. It was HELL for me to draw, but it makes it worth it even more because the outcome was lovely.
Also, my fics. NEVER would have imagined I'd be able to write anything in my second language, so yea.
10. A character who is perfect to me (Wouldn't change a thing): Beta is a gorgeous character. I love how different she is to both Elisabet and Aloy, and what it brings to the table. I'd love to see what she will become in hz3. She has this huge potential it'd be sad if she remained as Aloy's gal in the chair. Let her see the world!
Erend is nice, too. I know I mentioned the HFW writing, but the whole base thing can be overlooked when you compare it to the general writing of Erend.
I'm easily unimpressed with the hard, serious, tragic-past-having character trope that a post apocalyptic like horizon can create. It's most of Sony's male protagonists. It's gotten quite old for me.
So to see the kindness, fun, and emotional sensitivity Erend's character represents in Horizon is like drinking a huge glass of cold water after exiting the desert. Guerrilla played the "Crass and Loud male character" in on itself with Erend, which is something that can easily backfire if treated poorly, (hence why I hated the hfw base Erend writing reducing him to just, loud and crass and drunk. It was a gross character regression) but the way they did everything else? They aced Erend GORGEOUSLY.
To remain kind and gentle despite everything, specially in a world like horizon, is a feat, and I applaud that. (While also having a sharp bite, of course, and not making it the whole character's theme and personality.)
That's why his introduction in hzd is the way it is- That's why Erend looks the way he does. He is there to show that not everyone has to be what they seem. So when the heavily armored, loud, piercing having, mohawk and muttonchop wearing guy ended up not being an asshole I was quite happy. I breathed, because I' didn't want to see the basic ass hard guy narrative.
TL;DR I love my fucking bear and the free sister everyone gained in hfw.
11. The character I relate to the most and why:
Aloy. Not much of a social being tbh. Mostly everyone I've met here knows I suck ass at staying in touch or one-on-one chats (I do apreciate y'all though, even if I'm not good at showing it). Most comfy talking on public servers. Def.
12. Character(-s) i hate the most and why: Not many characters to actually hate, to be honest. The bad guys are just 'bad' for narrative purposes no matter how many horrible things they've done. Most characters in Horizon are so well made that I just can't hate them.
Maybe I could hate a character if they're poorly written, or if they represent a character archetype we've already seen in-game, but the hate is not inherently on the character itself, instead it's directed at the lost potential and lack of originality the character represents.
13. Something i've learned from the fandom: About the Horizon fandom itself, it's that it's very friendly and tight knit. Everyone here knows eachother, (specially the hzd oldies), so if any nonsense tries to take flight (Like the good ol' 'new fans trying to stir shit up in a generally peaceful fandom' or the famous Shipping Manifestos™️ explainig why MY ship better than YOUR ship, we can just laugh at the utter idiocy, block, and keep creating.
14. Three tags i seek out on ao3: Friends to lovers, Angst/Comfort, The unadulterated, pure, grade E smut, Modern AU, Coffee Shop AU, etc.
15. A song i strongly associate with my otp/favourite character:
Something about us (Daft Punk) for Ereloy. Much pining much yearning. Delicious.
Tagging anyone who'd like to participate! These are fun to read.

I wanted to ask how you got started in learning to make your own templates like this! They're very intricately gorgeous but there's little to no tutorials coming up every time I try to search? Is there also some form of coding involved? Thank you in advance!
Thank you so much! No coding involved. Google Docs is basically like Microsoft word but less rigid, it allows you to do almost anything you like as long as you know how to manipulate its tools. I have a bit of a background in coding so, though it doesn't involve code, thinking about the layout of a doc like the page of a website is helpful. I only started making docs for character sheets three years ago when I started rping on Discord. Doc templates or doc character sheets are essential on Discord for literate rp and from the jump I saw the potential in the program. I made my own from the start and the first one I ever made was better than any I had ever seen (at the time) even though I had never done it before. (This is my first ever doc if you're curious) - this is my personal information and design, do not copy, do not steal. Definitely not my best anymore but still proud. Never even touched another template before then. I had no teacher, no tutorial. I just went in, played around, made my own rules. In fact, a lot of the things you see people do on doc templates these days, I was the first to do them. I've happily taught fellow creators how to make navigation bars using headers as a way to link to certain spots on a page, great ways on how to implement Drawings (not too much though, text on Drawings is inaccessible to many), even putting likes and dislikes in a list was uncommon before I did it. Like web design, there are trends in the doc world. Knowing the basics of how to make tables do what you want opens doors to everything but really, if you want to create something uniquely you, the best way to do it is just to play around, explore, and invent your own new uses. There no one answer to how to do it, more than one way to skin a cat. (Terrible phrase) I've created some "tutorial-ish" advice answered asks posts that you can read if you'd like more advice on how to up your doc game and if you or anyone ever has a question on "how did you do this on this doc?" or "I want to do this specific thing, how would you do that?", my dms are always open and if you want to talk on Discord, we can do that too. - How to get started/Breaking to learn - How to see in tables - Resources I use There might be other good advice in my other answered asks too. But yeah! Message me privately any questions you have. I try not to post too much other than important helpful information and my doc templates because I have a lot of followers I try to be respectful of. I'm always happy to speak to those that are interested in docs. Hope this was helpful and I can't wait to see what you create. I'm also willing to give advice on how to open your own shop selling docs and building a brand and followers.
Thank you to everyone who supports me and reading this much if you did. Love you all.

Hey, how are you?
I've been reading some of your posts and comments and I saw that you were open to doing headcanons about Lockdown, could you do headcanons about what he would be like as a father? I see him being a good father who trains and educates his son or daughter, but I also see him as a father who does not accept less than perfection, always demanding that the child/teenager be great at everything (so toxic)
I really love your writing, I just don't understand how you do it, like, you just look at the character and think "hmm, I think he's like that" and something very perfect and unique comes out, I really admire anyone who can do that... Anyway, drink water and stay well ❣️
Hello! I'm good and I hope you are well too!
Thank you for reading my stuff and always popping into my notes. Thank you for your kind words, I am glad you like my writing!! I'm always happy when I see your name pop up.
Warnings: Toxic father, toxic parenting.
~
He had never thought about becoming a father, he was always too busy. He had better things to do and spend his time on than try to raise a small being from its initial stages of weakness.
However when he found out he was going to become one anyway, he decided to accept his responsibilities. It takes two to make a sparkling, and he's not the type to abandon something that he helped create. He decided to take sole responsibility of raising it, knowing he could do it best.
At first he disliked the little being. It was always so needy and vulnerable. He wished he didn't have to carry it around and feed it when he was busy. But after many years he began to grow a bond. Perhaps that's just what happens when you have something clutched to your side 24/7 for almost a few decades.
He had already planned out his Childs future. He knew exactly who the would become, what they could do and how they would help him in his endeavors.
When his kid became old enough to look after themselves, he began training them. He made them train with weapons; guns, swords and hand to hand combat. Then he taught them tactics, stealth and how to use everything to their advantage.
He taught them multiple languages, and how to navigate the ship in case he was busy with other duties. He also made sure to take his child on adventures. Any time he went to another planet to capture a creature, he would take his child. Often he would make the kid do the capturing, he believes they have to learn from a young age so that they can become a strong adult.
He's not comfortable when his child becomes emotional. Any time his kid begins to cry or get upset, Lockdown gets snappy. Emotions show weakness, and he won't allow that on his ship. He's not completely heartless, if his kid is really uncomfortable then he will let the kid off the hook and not let them do something they don't want to. But afterwards he will explain to his kid, that doing things you are uncomfortable with makes you stronger. Then he will expect them to do the task next time.
He may not be good at showing kindness, especially when his child is upset. But he is great at showing when he is proud. When he is proud he will shower his child with 'affection' and compliments. He will tell the child they are doing great and to keep it up.
His 'affection' is usually a pat on the back, or resting his servo on their shoulder.
He will give his child many gifts. It may not be gifts they want, but it's gifts. Said items include weapons, creatures/pets that have a sole purpose of protecting the kid, useful tools to help them on adventures and missions.
Lockdown knows sometimes mistakes happen. Sometimes the universe throws everything against you and you fail. However, he knows how to take what the universe throws at him and make it work to his advantage. He's done so much, and learnt so much he rarely makes mistakes. So he holds that same expectation with his kid. When they are younger and smaller he will allow them to make a few mistakes. But once they are old enough to know better, he will not accept failure. Not unless they have a reasonable and very good excuse.
He is very strict with his rules. And if his child breaks any rules they will be justly punished. There is no escaping the punishments, they must be completed. If the child tries to dupe the punishment, and Lockdown finds out, he will make the punishment's longer and harder.
Lockdown will not allow his child to do things he does not like. If his child wants to become something else, other than what Lockdown has planned for them, he will not allow it. If his child wants to go by themselves, and Lockdown doesn't think they are ready, then he will not allow them. There is no disobeying Lockdown, he has cages on his ship and he will use them if he has to.

The demon race are split like we have the wrath demons who's horns are the same as Satan's for example, there may be different rings and I think someone said how the Devildom sits at the top of hell, where all the higher class demons are where they aee away from the sinners and lower class demons.
I always see as hell is quite policitcal and MC is also part of the government, so they can access information, no other human would never. Like the abuse, torture, of sinners and lower class demons like.
I also like the idea of instead of Lucifer raising the future princes of hell, its MC. Like MC getting to know the rules and the principles of a vast land, and how Diavolo is a future king of the Devildom but not of Hell, and there could be bigger entities at play, like the game has mentioned kings, and dukes and so on.
Everyone one has a different worldbuilding and everyone has different views like Satan/Lucifer/Beelzebub being one of the same entity. Obey me has opened the door and created its own uniqueness of it all, making Diavolo the future king.
Obey me has its own niche in one corner and so many people like inhuman obey me blog, impish ivy and you, and so many more people have so many headcanons its amazing, and just opens your mind to something... like Obey me was supposed to be set in a small English Countryside in a small little cottage,but they scratched that idea and did a little digging.
Making Diavolo king throws out the whole lore, but looking at the theology of the brothers, Solomon, Babarbatos, Mephistoloso, Raphael, grim reapers, witches, angels, demons, the sleeply king of the Devildom, and nightbringer... its fucking facinating...and ive been into this stuff for quite a long time since i was just a teen and now im a young adult who probably wont get over demonology, and I am proud to share the Obey me world with you and the the rest of the people who have done their own fics and headcanons and fanarts, comics etc...
You know, anon, I feel like that is absolutely the best part of fandom in general. All of us get to create our own headcanons and ideas, explore the story and the characters, reinterpret everything as we like. There's no end to human creativity!
As for Obey Me specifically, they definitely have created their own twist on the source material that has made it something fun with unique characters.
I do seem to remember them talking about how hell is not the Devildom, but like a separate place, which is definitely an interesting concept. There certainly could be more entities in the actual hell area of things, possibly waiting to start messing with the Devildom or MC.
And yes, Diavolo as king is absolutely an interesting thing, too. Considering how most of the time it's Lucifer or Satan or Beelzebub, all of which can be used as names for the same entity. Making it Diavolo gives us a whole different power dynamic that most media based on these things just doesn't have.
The Obey Me fandom is the first one I've been active in for a long, long time and it's been so much fun. I love seeing everybody's interpretations of the characters, everybody's different MCs and OCs, and talking to people about the possibilities and theories of where the story might go. It may be loosely based on actual demonology and such, but personally I find the inclusion of demons and angels fun in any capacity. Their very existence just implies a level of power that is so fun to think about.

Writeblr Positivity Tag
Tagged by the lovely @mariahwritesstuff for this tag she created, see her post here!
Tagging (gently): @kanobarlowe @lexiklecksi @captain-kraken @dragonedged-if @lynnedwardswrites and @autumnalwalker
Blank list of questions below the cut!
1. What motivates you to write?
The fun of it! Writing is like play to me and one of the few ways I can be creative. It also lets me explore all sorts of aspects of the human experience in a unique way. I have an obsession with stepping into the shoes of others, to understand them and also myself, and a penchant for asking questions, as anyone in the writing discord I'm a part of can attest to 😅. I've found writing is the perfect way to play with those things in a way that feels safe and fulfilling.
2. A line/short snippet of your writing that you are most proud/happy of. If not maybe share a line of someone else's work you love (just please credit them)
From AASOAF 2, Axtapor's POV
My grandmother came to me first: going into town with her as a boy, taking tea with her in the gardens on her estate, and visiting her on my ageday just so I could hear her stories of the world. Then came her warmth, her sincerity, and her love. The way she smiled whenever I visited her and how the slant of her writing betrayed her eagerness to respond to my many letters. I squeezed my eyes shut tighter as a wave of nostalgia and melancholy passed over me. I missed her so much. What I wouldn’t give for her loving embrace and to hear her call me ‘hatchling’ the way she always did. Perhaps when all of this was done, I would go see her. Then, as the warm sunshine of spring came Mariel. Her smile, her laugh, the gentleness of her voice, and the many moments we shared in The Deadlands. The way we spent the evenings playing Twenty-One while we told one another about our families and where we came from. The quietness of midday, where she would busy herself with mending or some other still activity while I polished my weapons or smoked, neither of us feeling the need to break the silence that formed, akin to a call for prayer. And the mornings, where she and I breakfasted each day without fail, dreams from the night before still clinging to her eyelashes amongst the bleary-eyed look I’d come to adore. Every kiss we shared, every embrace we locked one another in, and every moment she made my heart race with those eyes colored of autumn. I remembered it all.
3. Which OC makes you smile every time you think/talk about them and what are they like?
Oh this question is so hard haha because I love all of my OCs! But if I had to choose one, it has to go to my boy Axtapor. A close second is Mariel but Axtapor wins because he is just so chaotic and annoying and so easy to dunk on that it's hard not to love him! I think I have a soft spot for him too because the character he was originally conceptualized as was rather brooding and hardly spoke, so of all of my characters, he's seen the biggest transformation and its been such a treat to see him develop into who he's become today!
4. What process of writing do you enjoy the most?
When you tie all of the lore pieces together and it just makes sense! It's like when you take a new route home and everything is unfamiliar until you turn onto your street and the map completes in your brain. I LIVE for that!
5. What part of writing do you think you are the best at? (Yes stroke your own ego it's okay)
Expressing feelings/emotions in a vivid/visceral way. I've been told by many people that this is my strong suit and I will 100% own that. My style is rather flowery (as the answer to no. 3 probably demonstrates) and stems from a frustration of not being adequately 'seen' in the past, so when I want you to feel something, I want you to FEEL it, and I will pull out ALL the stops to make sure that happens.
6. What is something in the writeblr community is most enjoyable?
Ask games! I love being asked questions about stuff I write!
7. A writing tool/device you use that helps you with writing? (It could be speech to text, a writing program etc)
Google Docs. It's simple, easy to use, not bogged down with tons of features which I prefer because when I'm presented with too many options I get overwhelmed. Also, it lets me write on my phone if I'm out and about and get hit with an idea. It also makes it easy to revise later on my laptop/PC without having to move things around.
8. A piece of worldbuilding that you like in your own story? (It could be the magic system, a particular place in the story, a law etc)
The Realm of Dreams and I can say NOTHING about it because it's all spoilers.
9. What piece of advice would you say to encourage others to write if they are having a rough patch?
Be curious! Ask yourself questions, talk yourself through your plot/characters/etc out loud, look at things from another perspective, and nine times out of ten, you will find that the solution/answer you're looking for, has been staring you in the face all along.
10. Tag some people whose works you love/have been your biggest supporters
@captain-kraken @kanobarlowe @elshells @sam-glade
You four have shown my characters and story so much love and are so talented! I feel so lucky to call you my peers! And Kano especially, for letting me troll around his Discord server and for giving me the chance to meet other cool writer friends!
And not a writeblr but I couldn't leave @illjustpretend off this list. She's my biggest cheerleader and I would never have worked up the courage to share my work online, let alone have joined this amazing community without her. Seriously this blog would not exist if she hadn't talked me into it. I love you my sister!💙

WRITE THE BOOK YOU WISH TO READ
Tumblr media
If you’re like me, then you probably have a list of book ideas on your phones ‘note’ app because as writers, we can’t deny having millions of book ideas and plots running through our heads on the daily, creating storylines and book in our heads that we wish existed, but they don’t, for now.
Instead of writing that list of book ideas and keeping them stored there, we should do something about it! We are all unique and our minds are quite different, yet they have one thing in common: the ability to come up with some of the most amazing ideas and stories but we shouldn’t just stop at coming up with the idea, you should turn it into a reality. Make it come true.
So, if you were looking for a sign to turn one of your ideas into a reality, this is it! So do it! Use that creativity and beautiful mind to your advantage, you have the power to write the story you wish you could read.
it’s about the journey, not the destination.
Writing is a journey and that’s what matters the most. You’ll arrive at your destination, everyone does, so take the journey step by step and enjoy it, take your time, and write a lot but be sure to let that criticism in, after all, other people will be reading your story. Don’t wait to write and be patient and don’t rush because it will take time to develop your story.
What is the meaning of writing? It’s not about you, the real meaning of writing will come to you from the words flowing from your fingertips and a story that truly grabs readers. Don’t be afraid to dive in; be human and take advice.
Of course, you shouldn’t walk this journey alone. You are going to be the ink of this book but what about the readers? Establishing a relationship with potential readers will get you honest opinions and finding these people (even if they are writers like you!), you can build a tribe.
believe in yourself.
Many say to talk to experts like established writers, they don’t always know what’s best, the way you work is different than how they work, and you shouldn’t follow someone’s structure, no one knows you better than you know yourself and believing in yourself is the only way to achieve this and following you bliss.
Disciplining yourself is key to unlocking many aspects. You can just walk blindly and expect everything to fall in its own path, you need to create that path. How? Write daily. Write what you’re passionate about, make your heart roar and don’t be afraid to say yes! Remember that no great art was ever created without a great heart and to read as much as we can in our genre.
the world’s greatest treasure.
We mustn’t forget the internet: the worlds greatest treasure and how we can use it to our advantage! Because we, as writers, can reach other’s from across the world and gives us the opportunity to publish our work online, even if it’s not perfect, we mustn’t look over the small mistake but fix them into making our work better with the help of others’ opinions.
The internet provides us with the opportunity to never stop learning, apart from the many books on our bookshelves, we can access many sites online that allows us to never stop learning.
In the end, our book will end up being our greatest achievement that we will cherish so we shouldn’t hold back when writing it but instead we have to be proud of it, because it’s not just a book with words but a book filled with a whole world full of characters and stories waiting to be discovered and read.

I am not a Muslim nor from any Abrahamic faith. But my religion has caused a lot of harm to lot of people. I have been crying this whole evening. Mostly out of shame for not being able to throw away it all. I keep thinking who will I pray to? How can I even utter another name...In your experience, if there had been love somewhere, where there still is love for you (not everyone is afforded this...love and peace in this religion of mine are for a select few..loathful isn't it?), does it eventually get easier to leave it behind?
i'm so sorry to hear you're going through that anon, and i'm proud of you for reaching out to talk about it ❤
it sounds like our journeys have been very different. personally for me, leaving islam was easy but the part i struggled with was learning to be less fearful and angry without invalidating my own trauma. but i know there are dozens of reasons why someone might struggle with leaving their religion or knowing if they want to leave at all. i hope it would be helpful for me to share my perspective of religion and its role in our lives, and maybe that can give you some comfort or clarity, whatever you choose to do with it.
obviously, a lot of people rely on religion for a lot of different things, including really awful things. for a lot of people, it's about creating their own sense of superiority, or justifying their hate for others, or as a political tool, or as a way to control their children. i've seen people do all sorts of cruel things and say it's in the name of their religion, and i'm sure you have too. that's why you see so many people say that this religion is inherently evil (or that ALL religions are evil).
as important as it is to understand that, i think it's also valuable to understand what religion can do for you personally and whether you want to hold on to it, change it, or let it go entirely.
because it's equally possible for religion to be something that grounds you and makes you a better person. it can be something emotionally healing for you, that gives you purpose and guidance and a space to feel connected to the world and to people. it can be something that inspires you to be kind and introspective and considerate of all people. and obviously, these are all things you can do equally without religion.
a lot of people seem to think that religion is the origin, and everything else—good or evil—comes out of that. but i don't agree at all. i think people always start with whatever values or worldview they want, and they use religion as a way to amplify those things. there's no such thing as a "good" or "bad" religion, there are only the views of the individual people practicing it. you can study the theology and argue about whether the scripture is saying this or that, but at the end of the day, each individual makes their own choices. and that includes you.
you ask who you can pray to, and i hope you know there is no shame in praying to the same god you have always prayed to, regardless of what everyone else in your religion is also praying for. you can also pray to a different god/set of gods altogether, if you find another religion that your heart and soul are drawn to. or you can not pray at all, and find other ways to express your hopes.
i think it's largely a matter of asking yourself what your religion adds to your life (or takes away from it). if you truly do find comfort in your religion and feel that it inspires you to be a good person, then i really encourage you to practice it and feel secure in that choice. you would be in a unique position to being love and acceptance to a space where it might not always be present. but if you find that your religion only brings you pain, then you are well within your right to leave (even if other people don't respect your right to choose, you ARE entitled to do whatever you wish).
it's not about having the "right" choice. it's about doing what you know will make you the kindest and happiest version of yourself that is possible. and you can take all the time you need to decide what to do, even if it takes years of reflection and experimentation.
you asked if it gets better, and i truly believe that it does. the most important thing is to let yourself sit with these feelings without shame, to know that you're valid regardless of how religious you are or what religion you follow, and to always center love and healing in your life. and also to talk about it and express how you feel/what you think when you are safe to do so. i hope you know that this is always a safe space for these conversations and that you'll never be judged here :) xoxo

1 & 12 for the fic asks!
1. what's the fic youre most proud of?
Honestly, my current longfic WIP (Lent From Tomorrow) is easily the best thing I've ever written, fic or original work. But I'm proud of most of my longer-than-a-drabble fics for something or another.
I'm very proud of the Five Places Cinna Came From for actually finishing the whole thing, and same with Milliefic.
(The longer it's been since writing Milliefic, the more I'm like, 'its only real redeeming value is having finished something of that length, especially posting as I wrote,' but that's just me letting Larries spoil my fandom experience, I think.)
I'm proud of every Big Bang or Mini Bang fic I've actually finished and posted. I think Not In The Answer But The Question is currently the best fic on my AO3, probably, although I do think that I had to flub the pacing on the last quarter to meet the deadline. I still to this day think that Valor Valeria and What They Don't Tell You In History hold up, and they're old as heck, so that says something.
I actually really love the Stereo Kicks/H*rry P*tter world crossover that @fille-lioncelle and I wrote? It's paced well, IMO, and I think we took a fairly unique take on that trope by making them all adults and out of school.
I love all of the Since Feeling Is First stories that @nichestars and I wrote, even though it drives the OCD part of my brain a little nuts that we're three words short of an even 100,000 on the series, LOLOLOL.
I don't know that there's any one fic that I'm like "THIS IS MY PERFECT MASTERWERK" about, because I don't do like, extensive rewriting or whatever on fic and I know that I don't quite meet any lofty goals of having Symbolism! or Theme! that I try for with longer stuff, but there are aspects of pretty much everything longer than a drabble that I can take pride in. I try hard to be gentler to myself about the quality of my output than I used to be, because being cruel to myself just made me Not Write At All, and that's the opposite of the point, so.
11. Has a fic you’ve written ever caused issues/controversy?
Tumblr media
Well, the Fanlore page for the "Timeline of 1D Fandom" says that Milliefic created some of the Larrie Truther tropes, and I've accepted that even though I don't GET it because it's CLEARLY ALL MADE UP OUT OF MY DUMB HEAD, but that would count as causing issues, for sure.
Landslide got (and still gets) inane hate for having M/F sex scenes even though it's M/M endgame. WAYYYYY back in the day, I wrote an Alec/Clary fic before Alec came out as monosexually gay in the Shadowhunter books, and every so often someone reads it without seeing that it was written in like 2010 and they get angry about me making a gay character bi (which would be fair if I'd done it after he came out as gay, but ::shrug::).
I feel like I vaguely recall someone trying to stir up something about my THG fic when The Panem Companion was announced, but they're completely separate works that have nothing to do with each other, so I feel like if there WAS drama about it, I wasn't actually aware of it.
But yeah, Milliefic takes the cake on that one.

interview: TRENDZ wants to share their passion and energy with FRIENDZ through their music
Tumblr media
After concluding the story from their [BLUE SET] series with their previous release, Blue Set Chapter. New Dayz, TRENDZ returns with their 3rd single album [STILL ON MY WAY]. TRENDZ shares more behind-the-scene stories about the album-making during a recent interview with global media outlets.
Q: How was the creation process for this comeback?
ra.L: I would say that the creation process of this album wasn't easy, but we are proud of the result that we achieved. During our hiatus, we had to work on the album while we were abroad in Indonesia, Kazakhstan, and Japan. We trusted each other and communicated extensively to complete the lyrics for the album. We practiced the choreography thoroughly together to achieve a great end result.
YECHAN: The music video for the title track was centered around a concept of a movie club. It was something that we have never tried before, so the entire filming process was quite enjoyable as well.
Q: What has been the most difficult thing in preparing for this comeback, compared to your other comebacks?
YOONWOO: While preparing for our previous albums, we usually had good weather, though it could get a bit chilly at times. For this album, we filmed the music video during the summer, so I remember all the members struggling with the heat. However, the director and the staff were incredibly passionate, which motivated us to give our best performance on set. I believe this commitment helped enhance the overall quality of the final product.
YECHAN: Singing on this title track was a new experience for me. I was mostly responsible for the rap verses, so transitioning to a vocalist's role with different gestures was a bit challenging. To prepare, I studied references from other artists and observed how my fellow members handled it. I conducted my own research to make sure I could perform the role effectively.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
ra.L (left), YECHAN (right)
Q: Are there any little or subtle details in the music video or the songs that you hope your fans would notice, or would like to point out?
ra.L: In the "MY WAY" music video, the beach scene was a later addition. We filmed it ourselves using our cameras, and we're thankful that the director incorporated it during the editing process. The music video also includes nods to several movies. For example, HANKOOK recreated a scene with Gang Dong Won from "Romance of Their Own," while EUNIL and I reenacted the iconic traffic cone scene from "Her." Additionally, HAVIT and EUNIL brought to life a scene from a 007 movie. These cinematic references are scattered throughout the music video.
Q: How do you feel like you've grown as a group with this latest comeback?
LEON: While preparing for our performances, we used to invest a significant amount of time to get everything ready. However, for "MY WAY", we were able to efficiently prepare a high-quality performance in a relatively short period. Additionally, we put a lot of effort into studying the gestures that would help convey a sense of freedom in our performance. I think these are some areas that we improved on.
YOONWOO: I believe our group has matured significantly since our debut. For this album, which demanded us to convey a sense of dreaminess and youthful spirit, all the members dedicated themselves to rigorous practice. The outcome of our hard work is evident in our more mature and polished performances in this album.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
LEON (left), YEONWOO (right)
Q: "MY WAY" is a very positive and passionate song. Can you give us an example of how you professionally and personally have plans of doing it, your way?
EUNIL: Our journey as K-pop idols is, in itself, a testament to us following our unique path. We, who were once strangers, came together driven by a shared dream and created an album that's loved from many, a true miracle in its own right. Our collective pursuit of a common goal is a wonderful journey, and it represents the very essence of "my way" that we're pursuing.
Q: ra.L and YECHAN participated in writing "MY WAY". What is the message you want to tell FRIENDZ through the lyrics?
YECHAN: As the message of the album is very hopeful, urging the listeners to come with us, we aimed to convey a similar message in "MY WAY", expressing our determination to overcome any difficulties or barriers that stand in our way. Therefore, we focused on writing lyrics that are very hopeful and optimistic.
ra.L: To add, the essence of "MY WAY" is the determination to persist on our chosen path, undeterred by obstacles and challenges. So, we tried to convey the message that, despite the pain, our youthful spirit will help us triumph over any difficulties.
Q: Since you have finished the [BLUE SET] series and seem to go to new direction with [STILL ON MY WAY], was the approach for song-writing for these songs any different from previously?
YECHAN: While crafting the lyrics for this album, our primary emphasis was on fostering strong communication among the members. I engaged in extensive discussions with HANKOOK and ra.L, assessing which parts would complement the song best and determining the overall direction. We also provided feedback to one another after listening to the completed rap verses. We would also talk to the vocalists of the team, ensuring a collaborative effort to achieve the highest quality outcome.
ra.L: Additionally, [STILL ON MY WAY] served as the conclusion to the [BLUE SET] series, prompting us to showcase a more optimistic perspective on our vocal and rap capabilities. We aimed to convey positive energy through both the music and its lyrics. Consequently, we devoted significant time and effort to practice and excel in the lyrics-writing process.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
EUNIL (left), HANKOOK (right)
Q: Have you ever stumbled upon writer's block when writing the lyrics? When you encounter such troubles, how do you overcome them?
HANKOOK: I faced several instances of writer's block while crafting the lyrics for this album. It's a common challenge when aiming to create meaningful lyrics. Often, I found myself struggling to find the right words or expressions. There were nights when I dedicated myself to writing, only to encounter these blocks. In such moments, I didn't hesitate to pause and resume writing the next day. This break allowed my thoughts to refresh, and I often came up with better ideas when I returned to the lyrics. So, I wouldn't hesitate to call it a day when I got stuck.
Q: To all the new fans and listeners who wish to get to know more about TRENDZ, what is the best way for them to do so?
ra.L: Content featuring us is uploaded daily, providing an opportunity for you to discover each member's unique charms and appreciate the chemistry within the group. To truly experience TRENDZ, diving into this content is the best approach.
Tumblr media
HAVIT
Q: "MY WAY" is emotional and a motivational song. What is your message to your fans and listeners who are having a hard time right now?
HAVIT: In this album, we aimed to convey a sense of freedom and hopefulness that comes with youth. When you're facing difficult times, we hope our songs can provide you with the energy and solace you need. Likewise, when you're feeling great or dealing with worries, I hope our music can uplift you and inspire you to do better. We want to share our passion and energy with you through our music.
YOONWOO: This album encourages the idea that no matter what challenges life brings, if you keep moving forward, you can overcome them and achieve success. I hope our audience can resonate with this message and find strength and inspiration in our music, especially during difficult times.
Thank you Global H and Helix Publicity for the invitation.

Hi sourpatch! I believe i need some encouragement and i figured you guys might know what to say.
I got back to reading lately, I've been binge reading Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn novels and its.... so beautiful? It makes me both incredibly happy and excited to read it, but i also feel incredibly sad because i wish i could be what Brandon is?
And the truth is, I don't know if I have it in me. I adore his characters his world and everything he did with those stories, and then i feel like my little ideas are too lame. I want to create something like that even for myself but... yeah i don't know. It's been an interesting week inside my head.
Sometimes I get jealous of other writers because of the ideas they came up with, or how they executed it.
I also know I need to take creative writing lessons if I actually want to be better at what i do but...
anyways this is getting too long. I hope both of you are doing amazing!
You're never going to be what Brandon Sanderson is, because you're your own person, with your own unique ideas, thoughts and feelings.
It is super easy to compare yourself to other writers, but it is also super detrimental, and it's not fair to you. Appreciate other people's writing for what it is, but don't look at it as something you can mimic, because that's not what writing is about. You have your own set of skills, and your voice as a writer is unique by default.
As you most certainly know by now, we tend to be our own worst critics, so I'd suggest you take some time, write down a few things you think you're good at / proud of yourself for in regards to your writing.
Keep writing and don't give up. I promise you can do it. 🤍 — D
I second everything that Denise said.
But also: look at it like this. When you view artists, they don't try to imitate each other's art exactly as it is. Because it isn't their style. Sure, at first they might trace lines and try to imitate the expressions exactly, but once they've found their style, they will redraw it in their style.
As it is often said in the writing community, writing is an artform. It really is. You have your own unique tone, voice and style just like the artist does. If you haven't found it yet, you can imitate other writers, but that isn't your writing at that point. Play around with different aspects of what other writers do that you love so much. Feel out what feels right for you. Writing shouldn't be a competition. Writing should be an artform and you should love and be proud of your writing, even if it isn't like other writers you admire. Your writing - your art - has a beauty of its own that should also be admired.
Don't forget the beauty in your own works while viewing others 💜💜💜
Hope this helps and happy writing, friend!
🤍 H
