VENUSIAN UPGRADES - WHAT DOES VENUS HAVE IN STORE FOR YOU?
Tumblr media
What does Venus have in store for you? Pick a number and get a feel of what its saying with some numerology secrets!
There is also a bonus part of this reading to help with your souls desires!
The bonus reading does not have a numerology decoding.
This is an Intuitive Reading.
What do you have to do to upgrade yourself?
414, 333, 222, 111, 1212, 17 , 85
Tumblr media
414
4+1+4= 9 
9- new beginnings , endings, letting go, cycles changing
4 - foundation, being centered, earthly bounds, physical reality
1 - do it yourself, ego, enjoyment, the sun, let it shine
“Joyous Fun” (The Quantum Oracle)
Its time to enjoy yourself for once, love. Go on that shopping spree. Enjoy that scenery. Make moves and enjoy the dance. You have to let go. Laugh it out. The world is yours.
“Sacrifice” (The Psychic Tarot)
Your past life is not your current one. You can change your life at any given moment. Be yourself and let go of that super serious character.
Sacrifice does old thought patterns that tell you that you cant have fun at the moment. That’s a lie. Be more joyful even if it doesnt make sense.
333
3+3+3= 9 
9- new beginnings, endings, letting go, cycles changing
3- creation, adventure, joy, life, control, expansive
“Optimism” 
Its easier for you to get what you want if you just believe. Your willingness is what connects you to your divine feminine. Be like the ocean, in flow and in love with life. Be your best self, it attracts the suitors!
“Mental Conflict” (The Psychic Tarot)
Move on from those old wave patterns. Just like your friend 414, your mindset is the primary problem as to why you won’t leap. The number 333 relies on your faith. That’ll be how you secure your desires. You can only go by what you know, sure.. but what happens when you take that leap without knowing how deep you will fall? It only goes up from here. Do what it takes to be the butterfly. You have what it takes. Dont forget to smile while doing it ;)
222
2+2+2 = 6 
2 - love, relationships, partnership, connection
6 - Harmony, family, love, relationships, art, creativity
“Teacher” (The Quantum Oracle)
You’re Venusian upgrade counts on you to be the master at your craft. You have goals that you should continue focusing on and enjoying the work you’ve put into them. Be patient and listen out for new information given to you by the divine at this time.
Show the world what you’re good at, and host gigs that show off your skill. People are fascinated by what you do, and what you know. Be open to sharing with us what ideas, thoughts, and talents you have because people will listen.
“Spiritual Strength” (The Psychic Tarot)
Your spirit upgrade needs time in meditation and getting to express your outer world with calmness and peace. Work on creating a spiritual routine where you can embrace the moment ahead. The power is your subconscious mind, take time to focus on reality as is, and work towards being a mentor, volunteering to be of service, and helping others in need.
111
1+1+1 = 3
1 - do it yourself, ego, enjoyment, the sun, let it shine
3 - 3- creation, adventure, joy, life, control, expansive
“Fear” (The Quantum Oracle)
Underneath all that fear is the most beautiful essence there is. Why do you hide yourself? Be more kind to yourself and let the rage burn. Let your soul feel all those feels and let out a big roar. Dont be scared to show people who’s under all that love you give yourself when no ones watching. You are a light, truly. 
“Mental Conflict” (The Psychic Tarot) + Angels Of The Four Directions (The Quantum Oracle)
Subconscious thoughts need work. Focus on positive words for healing yourself. Your angels want you to pick where you go next. You can be anything you want. Just make sure to balance your mind-body-spirit with being more thankful of your growth and challenge yourself every time you feel that annoying fear. 
1212
1+2+1+2 = 6
1 - do it yourself, ego, enjoyment, the sun, let it shine
2 - love, relationships, partnership, connection
6 - Harmony, family, love, relationships, art, creativity
“Status Quo” (The Quantum Oracle)
Travel! Travel! Travel! New adventure awaits darling. Whats stopping you? Create new memories by just experiencing a new horizon. A road trip, a bus ride or a plan ticket is what you need to invest in and go enjoy the scenery. This could be calling you to move across the city, state, or country. Either or its asking you to enjoy the motion that is forever changing. This is what we need to embrace our divine feminine flow!
“Flower” + “Scorpion” (Nature & Soul)
As change in scenery is good, it helps to transform you and your perspective on the way things should go. Be more open to new places, new jobs, new people from all cultural backgrounds. You shine the most when you explore your options. Take care of yourself by being down for the ride.
17
1+7 = 8
1 - 1 - do it yourself, ego, enjoyment, the sun, let it shine
7 - mysticism, spiritual, luck, god, the creator, universe
8 - transformation, power, the will, change
“Joyous Fun” (The Quantum Oracle) 
Your luck comes in by the enjoyment you allow to grow in your life. You should try having fun at a concert, going to a art exhibit, or just simply finding the laughter and joy in just being. Experience the moment and allow your life to sore. You may not know the answers to everything but when you truly move forward in just doing something it gets favored. Take a chance on living! You never know what you might get ! ;)
“Foundation & Achievement” (The Psychic Tarot)
Its incredible to be able to live the life we want to live but how are you going to receive it? Start slow and relax. Still take moments out of your day to find the time to be in pure bliss. You dont have to stop your life to ‘have everything in place’ like you think. 
85
8+5 = 13 / 1+3= 4
8 - transformation, power, the will, change
5 - change, adventure, the mind, agility
13 - divine feminine, transformation, ‘the witch’
(For this reading 13 is divine order. Its the mother/universe. The feminine urge)
“Courage” (The Quantum Oracle) 
Take pride in who you’re ancestors made you to be. You got the juice. You're the originator. The trendsetter. The one who starts it all. They may not get it now, but they’ll play catch up later. Take control on how the world sees you, thats your gift. You control the cards. They wish they had it like you, however they dont know what darkness you had inside of you alchemizing itself into power.
Your power causes reactions out of people that can attract or repel. You’re a magnet to others emotions but this is how you keep balance. Being who you are proudly causes others to look at themselves deeper to the point it shifts their thinking. You mirror those who need healing, they cant take you with them to their shadowy nightmares but you sure can bring it out of them. Dont let them get to you, they just wanna see you down because you’re too high for em.
“Peacock” Nature & Yoga
Beauty is surrounding you. Be cautious with who you let in your circle. They’re not deserving of you. Be kind as what comes around goes around. If they’re not kind back, it will surely come back to them. You’re mother natures brightest jewel, they cant keep treasure hiding for ever. Be open to letting the world see your new self. Its time to embrace that beautiful nature of yours. The world needs to see it. 
Bonus Reading
(this one will not have numerology decoding)
212, 999, 1111, 717, 888, 777, 33
Tumblr media
212
Throat Chakra
Speak highly of yourself. Have more higher standards for others and tell them about your boundaries.
999
Travel
Take a hike. Go to that new sushi restaurant. Try ice skating. Traveling is more than just going abroad. Take trips to different places you haven't been. It's all about changing your perception of reality with Venus. Be up for surprises.
1111
Fragmented Energy + Destiny
Have a better diet for yourself as your energy can be dense from having a poor diet. When our energy is low, we're not able to connect with ourselves, the intuition and the divine. Clarity is necessary for this new journey you're embarking. Time to change the environment you're in beloved.
717
Soul Mate Connection
So what I'm getting for this group is that a divine connection is going to bloom for you shortly. Be honest and vulnerable with this connection as this can bring in the rawest form of love you could possibly receive. This is a higher vibration. You're ready. Their is a need for soul growth in this connection so being who you're truly are to them will create a flow where you can build a garden with this beautiful connection(s).
888
LOTUS
Share the experience with everyone around. There is so much in store you just have to pick one. It's like wandas vision, you control where this movie goes. Your desires are getting a chance to bloom this season. Be grateful for all the universe brings, and you will see a whole fruitful banquet in front of you.
777
TRANSCENDENCE
Take a journey in the mind. The shrooms are calling for you to take a look. It's time to get more into the peace-light-love attitude. It'll calm you down. Your safe. Connect to the divine to embrace beauty in your life. Journal. Take a picture. Go outside and enjoy nature. River and taking hikes are significant here, as the silence in nature can give you the clarity you need. As well as grounding you to embrace yourself as nature itself.
33
CREATIVITY IN THE DARK
Embracing your darkness is where your true power lies. The gateway to your beauty is through the hidden realms of the psyche. Your power holds a force so powerful its harder for people to walk away. You have gifts in artistic endeavors that generate an audience and a source of income due your mind having access to cosmic gateways not many are willing to find themselves. Within that darkness is a skill in creation. Enjoying the arts not only gives you a place to enjoy, but to overcome obstacles. Let it go, and enjoy what your soul wants to say in the power of art.

LIPSTICK
Tumblr media
SATAN.
Tumblr media
+ warnings: strong language, suggestive themes.
+ female mc, feminine pronouns.
Tumblr media
It’s said to be an art, choosing the right shade of lipstick. Perhaps it is so!
Think about it this way, now; paint—the palette painters create, to be precise—it does not matter much once it is smeared across a canvas, for a canvas is normally white (like ghosts and lightning, leeched sugar and whipping cream), and there is not one colour, be it shade or hue, that such a white fails to suit, though it will not always look good. With lipstick, however, the matter differs.
Of course, a painter does very much choose the most proper canvas for their creation, but that is only in terms of material and dimension. Similarly, it’s probably important for a woman to not merely choose the prettiest colours for her lips, but also the greatest matches for the smooth skin of her interest, who in this case is not quite her lover yet, and may never really be.
Who could possibly know how destiny is painted? Whoever can guess which swatches shall make the future up?
Back to the subject: it is pivotal to decide on a lipstick’s colour for the...aesthetic, if you will. Sometimes, you must understand, the lovelier a sight is, the more sensual it becomes. Beauty, when the time is right and the person is, too, can be an exciting thing. A dangerously exciting thing.
That was not strange advice, she thought. There were times when those erotic magazines and adult films of hers made as equal sense as science. This was one of them.
Her lips had stamped each soft muscle. His body was a hued mess. It was as though one had given a curious child dissimilar paints and a chalk-white paper to print their imagination on with no regard for the basics of art. A child would not know about those rules. At the same time, she was not an artist in the traditional meaning of that shimmering word, so she did not know anything about art’s foundations, either. Yet, she did know how to make the colourful garble on this man’s figure look like art, if only by rubbing her wine-red lips against the peach stain of a kiss to blend the two colours together. What would the result look like?
She could be impatient and quick-paced, in the hot moments often forgetting the artistic aspects and details, vivid with flowing rage, but she was still that sort of artist.
How surprising that she could even manage to know what to do next, at the minute!
The Devil was dreamily handsome. Lipstick gemmed the corner of his lips. His eyes were the colour of strawberries or hearts. His pale skin and purple veins were smudged with a range of popping colours. Some were matte, others glittered. Red Delicious. Tangy Tangerine. Raspberry Dream. Glam Brown. Burgundy Velvet. Electric Violet. Black Decay.
Her favourite? It had to be the last one. Black Decay. Pale skin, dark lipstick. The contrast! The impact! It looked stunning. And goodness, it made it seem like his wet horns had somehow melted at the red tips, mixed into the Red Delicious kisses, and dripped blackly onto his tense muscles. It was so cool.
Standing in front of mirrors again. Playing with fire is fun. Fun is never-ending. Beauty doesn’t last forever. Souls don’t necessarily go to Hell or Heaven. Humans are bound to die. Some people never find a haven. But this man, this man was the Devil. That changed everything; looks are forever, youth is eternal, the heart beats for ever and ever. So, what the fuck is death? What does time mean, then?
Immortality gives time a different flavour, kind of like how certain lipsticks taste nothing alike: one is ‘cherry,’ the second is ‘candy,’ and the third is something else entirely. Maybe ‘chocolate’? Who knows.
Anyways, it’s all very addictive. Being young. The electric sparks of attraction. Admiring a beautiful face. Worshipping a sculpted body. Burning in the fires of desire. Bloody rage.
It can be very pretty, put together in one painterly picture: a horned devil, a beautiful young king, dotted all over with the kisses of a human on her knees before him. The throb of bruises, the pulse of scratches, they aroused him. Because her anger tasted like it spread out from the purest depths of Hell. It was what a dream would taste like, feel like, be. It was what a dream would be.
His eyes were glowing a frantic red, a red redder than those hell flames from fiction’s silly little tales. The petrine crosses, they were like ink on a heart. That rage inside her, it was heroin and honey in his veins. He could not have enough of it. He wanted more. Double the dose. It boiled his blood and made his heartbeats insane!
Fuck, oh, fuck. The kisses weren’t cutting it. The pretty marks on his skin wasn’t cutting it. The colours weren’t cutting it. He wanted her breakable fingers to push his flesh in, turn him purple and blue, make him bruise. He wanted those dainty nails to dig into his skin, carve into it tiny bloody crescent moons. He wanted that delicate palm to scar his face, let it sting like a crimson wound.
It will, it will, it will, it will.
He could be a freak like that, but so what? He was sweet, too. She wasn’t sweet, but she could be his match. She was. So often their hearts and bodies played on the same frequencies. Down for a helping hand. Down for murder. Down for anger. Down for roughness. Down for Hell. Down for sex.
So, you see, ladies and gentlemen, the right colour of lipstick may very well do wonders.

Welcome! Please read before interacting!
This is just a silly little rp blog, I've fallen back into WKM and WMW obsession and crave the characters SO MUCH so why not make yet another social media account centered around them
Admin intro!
Wilford's is further down
But hey, call me Night! Ooc i am 22, I don't rp nsfw with anybody under 18. My time zone is EST and am most active from 4 pm to 2 am. My rp style is literate, sometimes more or less depending on who I'm roleplaying with. My favorite tropes are angst, fluff, enemies to lovers, and action. In addition to rp I will be posting fics, headcanons, and art here as well.
Wilford intro!
Certainly crazy, but not as much as you might think.
After literally taking the lives of others and seeing them get back up, with the help of how weird reality seemed to be afterwards, Wilford forgot. He forgot EVERYTHING. A subconscious decision his mind made for him for him to cope. Now he's a crazy, happy, party animal. He loves martinis and disco. He insists he doesn't have some weird magical abilities, and claims he's just "learned to adapt to the world around him." He can appear anywhere he wants to in reality, and can read people's thoughts if he wants to. He can bend some images of reality to his liking, nothing major but just little details. Like if he needs a small object.
If interacting pre WMW:
He still doesn't remember anything. Abe hasn't found him, and he's spent his days happy. If someone were to make him remember, it would be a really hard blow to his mental state. He'd try very hard to hold on to the peace he had found, trying to block out everything as he did before. But it wouldn't work, as he now is hanging around (your character) who reminded him of everything. It would be very hard to break down his walls and get him to talk about anything he was feeling, but it would be clear that he is struggling from his demeanor. But, if he doesn't remember what happened, he would be a crazy, happy party animal still.
If interacting post WMW:
He's not as happy as he once was. With his memories of his trauma and the causation of others traumas, he's changed. Not completely. He's still kinda crazy, definitely eccentric, but he's a bit more understanding of his fellow human beings now. He's more caring, and wants to be there for others- those he likes, anyway. He spent so long feeling nothing but happiness that now he feels every emotion very intensely. He loves deeply, rages occasionally, and gets depressed at times.
My ships and muses!
Muses:
Wilford Warfstache (obviously)
Damien
The colonel
Actor Mark
Darkiplier
The Host
Abe
Irl Mark occasionally
Ships:
ABESTACHE!!!! I prefer abestache over anything else!
Darkstache
Wilford x Actor Mark
Wilford x Yancy
Wilford x Engineer Mark
Other ships:
Damien x Actor Mark
Damien x Abe
Actor Mark x Abe
Darkiplier x Actor Mark
And you can suggest a ship not listed and I will let you know what I think! Very rarely I'm open to OC pairings, and I only do mxm ships.
Headcanons!
Wilford lives in a small one bedroom apartment, everything decorated with pink and rainbows.
Wilford is pansexual and is open about his sexuality
He is genderfluid, specifically between male-aligned and some non binary genders. His pronouns are he/him.
He likes dabbling in femininity, though cautious about who knows that if not a modern setting.
He loves the idea of settling down with someone, despite how much it seems to be the opposite
He either owns or will buy an axolotl, because "it is a strange but beautiful creature, like me!"
Loves alchohol and sometimes worse things
Rules
Not much, just be respectful. I will let you know if I won't be able to answer for longer than a day, and if I haven't explained that and haven't answered in 48 hours you can remind me. Just send a reminder, don't resend your rp reply. That's kind of rude in my opinion. I am open to nsfw, only if you're 18+. We'll discuss triggers together, I have a few headcanons that may be triggering to others so I won't post those publicly. I find anything less than a couple sentences to be boring and am never really motivated to answer those. Respect my rules, I will respect yours!
Rp tags!
Louise- #themadmansregrets
Abe- #dancingwithmadmen
Dark- #themadmansforgiver
Other Wilfords- #matchingwiththemadness
Celine- #madlovelongforgotten
And yeah that's it! I may add a few things here and there. My dms and asks are always open, so feel free to start a convo or dm to rp!
For asks, just clarify if you're speaking to pre or post WMW Wilford, as that will determine how he answers.
Thanks for stopping by!

Thoughts on The Vampire Lestat (1985)
I finished reading TVL last night (directly after the season finale), so I thought at the end of each VC book I’ll post a little list of my thoughts and feelings. This is mostly to try and structure my own understanding of the text, but if anyone is interested in reading and contributing to my ramblings, please do! (Warning: long post!)
Characters, Plot, Themes, Philosophies
Lestat is equal parts fascinating and frustrating, and I mean that in the most affectionate way possible. I loved seeing how his existential crisis as a mortal transmuted into his aesthete philosophy as an immortal. He loves humanity, both before and after becoming a vampire, and art (music and performance especially) is his reason for existing. He doesn’t believe his purpose as an immortal is to be reticent from humanity, but to embrace it from a new perspective - as an elevated member of society. He loves being a predator, but he also want to be loved despite being a predator. But he is narcissistic, hard headed, and quite childlike in his behaviours. He takes some personal responsibility for his mistakes, but that doesn’t prevent him from making many, many more. He is charming and absurd, immortals are drawn to him and abandon him in equal measure, and he embraces the absurdity of his existence with theatre and fits of maniacal laughter. He is the vampire for the modern age!
Gabrielle, for me, was the most fascinating and enigmatic character of the book. In a story that is (imo) sometimes unbearable male dominated, I loved seeing how Gabrielle embraced the dark gift in a completely different way to her son, and her lust for freedom upon becoming a vampire reflects the maddening restrictions of women in the 18th century (privileged as she was compared to many). Lestat upholds beauty above many other things, but for Gabrielle, beauty and femininity are of little consequence. The shackles of her corseted clothes and long hair as a mortal serve her no purpose as a vampire. As a vampire she doesn't have to exist as a woman, even if she is perceived as one. She can exist as an entirely autonomous entity - not only within the role of mother, wife etc. She wears loose clothes, cuts her hair (in vain) and sleeps in the dirt. She wants to travel to remote jungles and fight beasts. Her bond with Lestat is strong (creepily so- the open mouthed kiss/ blood exchanges were...interesting), but she does not diminish herself to make him happy.
Nicolas is an interesting character. A brilliantly talented and troubled man who should never have become a vampire. Unlike Lestat's existential crisis which was quelled by the dark gift, Nicki's cynicism is amplified with immortality. Where Lestat embraces absurdity, Nicki descends into nihilistic despair. I felt for him. The breakdown of his and Lestat's relationship was depressing, but I loved the way AR used them as foils to each other.
Armand. I adore Armand. Like Claudia, he is another soul trapped in the crypt of eternal childhood. He is incapable of existing alone, as he was a slave in life and cult member/leader in immortality, and rigid belief systems and master/slave dynamics are the structures in which he knows how to exist as a vampire. He is detached, but simultaneously needy. He covets Lestat's love once Lestat disbands The Children of Darkness, and he does not take kindly to the rejection. He is probably the most ruthless and amoral vampire in the book, and like Claudia preceding him, there is something about the eternal child that festers into rage and cruelty in immortality.
Those Who Must Be Kept. The reveal of Akasha and Enkil in their statue-like state was terrifying. I'm so excited for Queen of the Damned!!!!
Both the beginning and end of the novel reads like fanfiction, not necessarily a bad thing, but there is something funny about all of the main characters reuniting at Lestat's concert and having to fend off angry leather clad vamps. I think I definitely enjoy the historical parts of the narrative more than the contemporary storyline, but I'm readying myself to embrace the camp.
I do love Louis' return at the end. Lestat loves him so much. He even tells him he's dressed like shit.
I have more thoughts on Marius and Akasha but I might save those for the next book!
Regarding the show- I really, really hope they incorporate some of TVL into the next season. Overall it was a fabulous read and I'd love to see Sam Reid play Lestat in his early years as an immortal!

Current Artist Research - Julia Jo (1991, Korea)
Deeply inspired by art history, Jo looks to Hieronymus Bosch’s grotesque detailing of biblical myth and the bucolic depictions of societal rituals in the Baroque as well as Cecily Brown’s kaleidoscopic marrying of color and form. “I want to create what only a painting can do,” she says. “I want the work to fool the viewer because that push and pull makes seeing a painting feel satisfying.”
[source: https://galeriemagazine.com/julia-jos-hypnotic-abstractions-causing-stir-amongst-collectors/]
Tumblr media
Julia Jo, Mother's Ruin, 2023
These are oil on linen works, but to me her brushstrokes seem like ink in water, like a feminine Wols capturing movement, turmoil, peace and rage all at once (if you'll forgive the poetic reading).
I've been trying to replicate Jo's techniques, brush strokes, transparencies. it's not easy. I do see hints of Cecily Brown's influence in her work (more on her another time), which I find provides a more accessible replication, but this work is more wispy, as if the paint was churning and moving in space and Jo captured a snapshot of it.
Tumblr media
Cecily Brown, Hard, Fast, and Beautiful, 2000
Tumblr media
Cecily Brown, The Fugitive Kind, 2000
Tumblr media
Julia Jo, Obsessive, 2019
This more opaque piece is pushing the bounds of abstraction, but what draws me most is its context against her more figurative works. I feel like I should be able to discern the forms I'm looking at, and I stand mulling the painting over. From its title, this was possibly Jo's intention. It's like a palimpsest, a crashing together of mind and body.
I've seen similar attempts at emotive, abstract work done by other contemporary artists before and it always just fell flat for me. I don't know where the difference lies in Julia Jo but her work just captivates me .
Tumblr media
Julia Jo, Mixed Messages, 2023
If we were to visualise the beginning of time I think something very similar to Julia Jo's ethereal, ephemeral work would come to mind. The hands morphing in and out of space remind me of the chaos in Rubens' monumental Fall of the Damned.
Tumblr media
Peter Paul Rubens, Fall of the Damned, c. 1620
Artist's Statement from Parsons [https://amt.parsons.edu/finearts/2019mfathesis/julia-jueun-jo/]
Julia Jueun Jo’s paintings oscillate between the figurative and abstract. She chases after difficult to verbalize states of being. Her paintings chase after the emotional and psychological, and of those more subtle and delicate moments of intimacy layered atop another. It is essential for her that these paintings to exist in a place of vagueness, so that it is not overdefined by narrative or imagery. Through her paintings, Julia Jo seeks the companionship between abstraction and figuration to reveal and capture fleeting, intangible, and invisible moments.
It's wild how similarly I feel to this. Slightly disheartening, as what I'm looking to do has been done before, but I'll work in different ways. No two artists are truly the same !! (As far as critique goes, her artist statement is slightly repetitive. Don't do that)

Art Deep Dive: Ines J.
Words cannot truly express how I feel about this artist! but i will try.
I discovered Ines J. on instagram where they go by the handle @a.creature (ive linked her direct instagram to this @ so it will not take you to a tumblr account of theirs, not sure if they have one but i will check and edit this after typing everything up if so!).
From what i've gathered, Ines is a very multifaceted artist that incorporates their work into a variety of mediums and trinkets. Im going to highlight some of the recent works of theirs that I'm absolutely obsessed with. to be honest, they're all fantastic though so i would definitely recommend checking their page out and getting lost in a surrealist paradise of wonky doodles.
my thoughts on the pieces are going to be in bullet form so bear with me.
Tumblr media
bodies, demons, faces, morphed creatures, morphed selves
stickers, commercial, industrialized, contrasting organic lines
organic shapes resembling body parts, intestines
bright color unnatural to regular body tones, for emphasis? (or personal taste which is what id do for color choice)
the beautiful inclusions of black imagery, woman on top left is my favorite she looks so haunted and her hair reminds me of myself on a rough morning
"on & on" speaks to works theme of chaos and continuing on despite it, like me during those said mornings
unraveling in a sense
Tumblr media
god! beautiful color choices just IMMACULATE
THE FACE ON THE LEFT? THE CONTRAST OF THE BLUE WITH THE ORange??? Ines!!!!!!!!!!!!!! great job
different features, organic material
text adds to juxtaposition of natural vs. unnatural which is a common theme
Tumblr media
Wednesdays do feel yellow. sometimes being human is about being alive to hear/see observations like this
i am guilty of throwing checker patterns in lots of spots on my art, love the teal checker pantsuit here it fuels my soul
red, anger, angst, sex, sexuality
large dominant figure is not happy, and contrasts to the abundance of color around, could signify a void or lack of emotion, creativity, maybe even happiness
this drawing reminds me of how it feels to scroll through instagram on a bad mental health day while it seems like everyone else is living their best lives while i occasionally rot
Tumblr media
reminds me of something similar i said to the man i currently am infatuated with, minus the airplane part
"oh what can you do!" this is how i feel about him lol. the black and lime green image of the two people also reminds me of him
i wonder if this piece is based on a lover... probably
tears, unfinished boxes, distance that is most likely unwanted, lack of memory
when those things fade we will do our best to capture things creatively like this in art as a shrine for the emotions we feel and have felt but ultimately have to let go of
drawings like this break my mf heart (cause they remind me of when i was mf heartbroken lol)
and ykno what yes to the green head on top right corner, everyone has their own interpretation but that makes me think ya love can actually make you lovesick and that is how id mentally draw myself with the green worm sliming out and all bc sometimes thats how it feels out here
more tears i see:(
Tumblr media
one of my favorites that i've seen so far honestly?
this image reminds me of myself and im sure a lot of women feel the same
colorful blobs at the top, bubbles of experiences, memories that have passed, things that make you who you are, and the shapes get more specific and thought out in terms of painted construction as you near the woman (red star, blue circle, black teardrop, etc).
delicate nature of the wispy but sharp surroundings behind her, like a girly, cosmic barbed wire (luv it)
pink and overall colors mentioned before contrasts with the deep blue and black used to illustrate her, somber colors and face expression, head down
the vibrant red flower seems to be the focal point, most vivid spot in terms of color
to me symbolizes a feminine rage because it is so big, red and bright that it is something which naturally demands to be seen
her demeanor is the exact opposite, like a woman in society trying not to seem out of line even though she has every right to be upset
cultivating the flower, knowing when to let certain emotions bloom?
possibly being tired from not being able to let certain emotions bloom
okay thats all for tonight everybody. i know ive been saying that i'd do this for a while but adult life can get so hectic. Also i wanted to wait till i found someone i really enjoyed so i wouldnt get writers block halfway through this blog post. here's to ines j. for being a super dope artist!

ALGOL - Divine Femininity and the Power of Creation
Algol sits at the 26 degrees in taurus.
Algol is known as the "demon star" and is connected to the head of medusa but she is so much more than a castrophic star that brings hell to the planet.
'Algol' is a star of the most divine feminine energy on the entire sphere. It rejoices in the cosmic universe and creates from its darkness. Like the womb in the belly of women, we create from here and eventually we birth it into our reality.
What makes Algol a star of divine feminine energy?
She is connected to the Mother. Serpent/Dragon energy. Creatrix and is connected to art and beauty.
Most who fear this star never travel deep into the unknown, however this star teaches you is that the unknown is like getting to the garden of eden and finding the apple that gives you life.
Fixed Star Algol is a major point in the sky, its 'demon' traits are chaotic/yin energy and nothing to be afraid of. When Mother (Earth) is tired of our shit what is she going to do? bring chaos. which is what this star represents in a number of ways.
This chaos can come through art because it is very yin, and the language that it speaks is far bigger than what the 'name' of this star.
ALGOL - AL-KU-HOL - SPIRITS
I noticed with this fixed star that drugs, wine and alcohol play a big part here. im speaking of people who have this placement strongly. Any planet. Not just your big three.
This fix star is heavily connected the spiritual realm and the psychical realm gets a taste of this vibrant energy each time the sun passes through here.
The energy/frequency I would like to dip into with this star is Adam/Eve Tree of Knowledge/Life Serpent/Transformation Phoenix/Dragon Medusa and Lilith energy here. Yeah that was a lot. bare with me.
You travel through depths to get to where you are with this star conjunct your sun, moon, rising and venus. Lilith energy literally rises within you. It connects you the the tree of knowledge. In the Bible these are all metaphors, so metaphorically speaking, you carry the knowledge in the womb and are a creator who connects to the source of the universe. All that you are is mother in the flesh, but more in the mind and spirit. You are bound to go through the waters of the serpents and transform with each valley that you cross.
You are not scared to go deep into your shadow, in fact when you get use to it you may succumb to it more. THIS is where your power comes from. Your fears are transmuted into POWER. Your pain turns into POWER. You are what? POWER. And you are a walking force who connects to the energy of the Mother!
You are deeply connected to the roots of this soil and also cosmic and can see into the ethereal realms. You know the underworld because you been there, you know the higher realms because you've traveled there, and you come back to us in this earthly realm and show it to us be it expression, art, soul, style, music, dance, emotions etc. your rage is your truth and you can wear it as you like.
all your powerful emotions can be used in the form of creating something new. it is castrophic but also beautiful. your energy is feared by many but we see how powerful your aura is.
If you have this fix star connected to your sun, moon or rising. You are literally that energy walking among us everyday. every. damn. day.
now I WILL say this with fix stars is that you can tap into them at any time, Algol seems to show up and come through you at the right time if you have this placement. You tend to have an aura that scares people but are fascinated with you at the same time. Who is like this... Lilith :)
The energy is very dark. do not take this as bad or evil because it is not. Dark energy is also yin, yin is feminine. They go hand in hand.
I want to touch on Medusa but I will save it for another time. What I can say is (or may I will argue that) Medusa is another form of Lilith. She was casted aside and was lied on because her power was too much for some, so she became a 'monster' who could turn you into stone.
This is how people with this fix star walk among us. Your energy is that powerful, that mesmerizing you literally have people at their knees im not playing.
