WujiWatch: CQL Rewatch Episode 10

Two things stand out to me in this episode: the question of conflict between the sects, and the question of the pros and cons of being outside the system.

So, first, conflict between the sects. It’s interesting, for a long time I assumed that serious conflicts—like, deadly armed conflict—between the sects was rare. In fact, I assumed that the last sect war was the war against Xue Chonghai (which occurred “thousands of years ago” according to Nie Mingjue, “hundreds of years ago” according to Lan Yi, and “a hundred years ago” according to Lan Xichen—amazing), and that since that time, the cultivation world has basically been at peace. Cultivators’ martial training was for fighting yao, mo, guai, and gui, and also taking down individual baddie cultivators, not for making war against large, organized groups of other cultivators.

But then, in this episode, when Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan are asked to help our heroes with their quest, they refuse on the ground that they don’t get involved in inter-sect conflicts. Not “we don’t want to get involved with this inter-sect conflict,” but “as a practice, we do not get involved with inter-sect conflicts ever,” which sure seems to imply that there have been others, in their lifetimes. Like, for abstaining to be a practice, there needs to be something to abstain from, you know?

And as I’m pondering this, the camera cuts to the first shot of the Unclean Realm, and my question is very definitively answered for me—because nobody builds fucking twenty-foot high stone walls with ramparts and a fucking portcullis because they’re scared of individual demons or ghosts, or even scared of a small group of the cultivational equivalent of bandits. You only build a fortress if you’re scared of an army.

(When you start seeing the sets this way, you realize that Cloud Recesses (at the top of a mountain accessible only by one narrow staircase), Jinlintai (another stone fortress accessible only by a staircase), and Nightless City (ditto, at the top of a mountain) are also all built to withstand a siege. Only Lotus Pier, wide-open and unfortified, is vulnerable. Easy pickings.)

This is important because I’d previously been pretty judgy about Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan refusing to be involved in dealing with the Yin Iron – I’d thought, “Sure, you don’t want to get involved in petty squabbling—but this is a big deal! Wen Ruohan is kidnapping random cultivators and turning them into zombies! How can you say you’re devoting your life to justice and then sit this one out?” But their decision makes a lot more sense if the sects are frequently at war with one another – this would, at this point in the plot, just look like more of the same. And I, too, would find it exhausting constantly getting asked to pick a side in bullshit wars waged by people more interested in acquiring power than using it to protect the people who they’re supposed to be protecting.

Okay, second thing: the idea of rogue cultivators. One of the interesting things about the drama introducing Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan this early is that it sets up this theme of Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji both yearning for that kind of free, roving life, and in fact, bonding over that shared longing. Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan sure make that life look very attractive. (Not just because they’re gorgeous, but that helps!) Prioritizing shared principles over bloodlines, going where the greatest need is, opting out of petty, grasping sect power struggles—it makes total sense that our heroes would go starry-eyed like they’re meeting celebrities; that Wei Wuxian would earnestly and awkwardly tell Xiao Xingchen that he and Lan Wangji have been trying to do the same thing with their Yin Iron quest; that Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji gaze longingly after Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan’s departing forms and then share a wistful look with each other.

But the price of that life, as the drama shows—also using Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan—is how powerless it makes you. Xue Yang’s capture would not have been possible without sect cultivator Wei Wuxian tethering him to keep him from running away. More importantly, only sect cultivators have a prison in which they can keep Xue Yang – if the sect boys hadn’t come along, Xiao Xingchen would have had no choice to either kill Xue Yang immediately—something that characters in this show are shockingly (to this Western viewer) loathe to do—or let him go. Xiao Xingchen tells our heroes that they can call on him if they are in need… but when Lan Wangji, practical boy that he is, asks how they can get in touch with him, Xiao Xingchen’s answer is basically, “You can’t,” because he doesn’t have a home base. So it’s a pretty empty promise. The vast and manifest injustices that will soon unfold in this story—from the Wens’ massacre of several entire sects (the very crime for which Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan sought to bring Xue Yang to justice) to the post-Sunshot torture, imprisonment, and murder of the Wen Remnants—will do so without a peep from these two righteous cultivators. The sects have corruption, and war, and hypocrisy—but they also have infrastructure, resources, and networks.

Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan show what happens when someone makes a principled decision to opt out of those resources and networks.

Meng Yao is about to show what happens when someone has those things stripped from him, against his will.

Hi, I saw your open requests and wanted to know if you can do a The Boys one. This might be long...

Imagine an unknown or known supe with the power to control emotions. They manifest tranquility and joy or induce anxiety and panic attacks onto people (you can lower the intensity if that’s too much). They have a scene where they interact with the boys. This can be an x Homelander since they would be able to control his emotions.

-“You can hate me but you’ll be so happy to see me.”

Extra: [They work at Vought as someone who’s able to get close to the supes. They don’t really like the Seven much and try to cause as much issues as possible.]

Note: requests are currently closed

So the Homelander relationship is kinda in the background with this fic. It more focuses on the reader and Butcher talking.

Title: Devious Plans

Warnings: implied forced relationship

The Boys tag list: @captainofmybigwetdream, @scraftskhu35, @zannemes, @holy-minseok

Everything tag list: @greenrevolutionary, @byebyebreezywrites, @spngingerbread21, @layazul, @lov3vivian, @simonsbluee

“What? Edgar doesn’t want to get his hands bloody so he sends one of his fucking cunty minions to do his dirty work for him?”

You looked over at the man who joined you at the bar. He rested his elbows on the counter and you gestured to the bartender to get him a drink. You studied Butcher intently as you took a sip of your own drink. When a whiskey was finally placed in front of him you said,

“Mr Edgar is busy.”

“Heard that one too many times, love.”

“Why doesn’t that surprise me.”

Butcher downed his drink in one and immediately it was replaced. He eyed the drink suspiciously and you said,

“Don’t worry. I haven’t poisoned it.”

“If you wanted me dead I’d be dead already.”

You wrinkled your nose saying,

“Bit cliché. I’m not a fan of clichés.”

“Then why are you here you stupid fucking-“

“Hey,” you smiled and put a hand on his shoulder, “Calm down. This anger isn’t very good for your blood pressure.”

You could feel Butcher relax under your grip. He frowned slightly before quickly ripping his arm out from under yours.

“You’re a supe.” He spat

“Took you long enough.”

You finished your drink and another was immediately put in front of you.

“So why the fuck are you here?” snapped Butcher

“Just to make sure that you’re doing what we want.”

“Bullshit.”

“Oh?”

“Look love,” Butcher leaned closer, “You work for fucking Vought. You’re just like the rest of them.”

You slammed your glass down and took a deep breath. Butcher grinned at the crack in your mask and you said,

“I am not like them.”

“Evidence says otherwise.”

“Maybe I’m here because I hate them just as much as you.”

“Why are you here.”

“Because I want to see them burn.”

You ran a hand over your face and said quietly,

“The power to control emotions is incredibly useful. Especially when you’re prize superhero is a mentally unstable homicidal maniac.”

Butcher burst out laughing. You raised your eyebrows at him but waited until he had stopped. Butcher rested against the bar and said,

“So Edgar fucking uses you. He whores you out to placate Homelander.”

“That’s a very crude way of putting it.”

“It’s the truth though.”

“Hmm.”

“So what do you want me to do.”

“What Mr Edgar wants.”

“And why the fuck should I do that?”

“Because then we get what we both want.”

“Which is?”

“Homelander dead.”

Butcher’s expression turned stony and you smiled. You had him. He wanted that cunt dead just as much as you did. You finished your drink and hopped off the barstool.

“It was a pleasure speaking to you Mr Butcher. I’ll be in touch.”

“No you fucking won’t.”

“Really?”

“Best if we don’t see each other again.”

“And why is that?”

“Because if I do, I fucking kill you.”

“Because I’m a supe cunt?”

“Exactly.”

“Oh Mr Butcher,” you patted his cheek mockingly, “You can hate me all you want but next time, you’ll be so happy to see me.”

Butcher tried to move but you quickly removed all violent thoughts. His eyes narrowed when he realised what you had done and just how powerless he was against you.

“Be seeing you.” You said as you left the bar

heard you're not having the best day so i thought maybe this would be a good time to send you an imagine i've been thinking about for a while now with either aziraphale (or aziraphale and crowley) or william.

in this imagine, reader is pregnant from a previous relationship and was abandoned for one reason or another.

for aziraphale (and crowley): reader and azi have been close friends for a while. his bookshop has always been a comfort to you, and you would go to him whenever your boyfriend would make you cry or things weren't going great for you.

then you get pregnant, your boyfriend dumps you, and you're left essentially stranded. so you do what you always do and go to zira's shop. you knock on the door, tears running down your cheeks, barely containing your sobs.

"i'm afraid we're closed!" aziraphale calls from his desk. he's busy with some research project or other, and certainly not interested in dealing with a customer at the moment.

"it's me, mr. fell," a timid voice calls from the door.

he's on his feet in a second, hurrying to the door, a smile on his face - only it quickly drops when he sees you, shivering, eyes red-rimmed, cheeks streaked with tears.

"whatever happened, my dear?" he asks, quickly stepping aside to let you in. he helps you out of your coat, hands slipping gently over your shoulders, and places it on the coat hanger.

you open and close your mouth a few times before simply breaking down into sobs. aziraphale freezes. he's not the best at dealing with emotional breakdowns - but it's you and he's not about to let you down. so he helps you into a chair and miracles up some hot cocoa and cookies for you in an effort to comfort you.

he brings his desk chair close to yours, offering a handkerchief for your tears. you take it and grip his hand, waiting for the sobs to dissipate.

once you find it in yourself to stop crying, you take a few deep, shuddering breaths, trying to steady yourself.

"what happened, my dear?" he asks again, gently, smoothing his thumb absently over your knuckles. he tries to meet your eyes, but you refuse to look at him.

after a moment, you pull your hand from his, placing the cocoa and cookies on the table next to you. hands trembling, you pull your sweater over your head, revealing the tanktop underneath - and the bump of your belly along with it.

there's a slight intake of breath from aziraphale and his eyes fly back up to yours.

"he left me," you say, defeat turning your voice empty and hollow.

"he did what?" another voice emerges from the top of the stairs and you jump, turning your attention to crowley's tall, lean form hurrying down the stairs toward you.

tears fill your eyes again and they're both suddenly right there. crowley is kneeling at your side, golden eyes wide with anger - and something else you can't quite place. aziraphale is holding your hand in his and dabbing at your cheeks with his handkerchief.

"you'll stay with us, then," the angel says gently. "if you wish. we'll take care of you."

crowley nods once in agreement, the fire in his eyes promising retribution for the crime of leaving you behind, so vulnerable.

your eyes widen as you look at the two of them.

"oh, no," you start to say. "i couldn't- i wouldn't want to be an imposition-"

"nonsense, my dear," aziraphale cuts you off gently with a soft smile. "quite the contrary, it would be our pleasure."

crowley says nothing but the softness in his eyes is answer enough.

tears fill your eyes and spill over your cheeks once again and before you know it, you're wrapped in aziraphale's embrace, soaking in his warmth, breathing in his scent. he drops an absent-minded kiss on your head and you freeze for a moment.

"sorry," he says quickly. "i didn't-"

"no, no," you say, nuzzling into him further. "it's okay. just surprised me."

you feel crowley approaching tentatively behind you and one of aziraphale's arms reaches out to invite him in. crowley's clearly unused to this sort of thing, but he's powerless to resist aziraphale's requests and so he obliges, quickly melting into the embrace, resting his nose against your head.

you simultaneously lean back into crowley and nuzzle further into aziraphale. they'll protect you, and take care of you, for as long as they are able - just being here with them, you have no doubt of that.

and for william: he's seen you about the parish before. he was always rather taken with you, but was too timid to approach you, a fact he was loathe to admit. you've spoken to him on occasion, but he was barely able to mutter a few words in response, another most embarrassing fact to him.

so, when he saw you one day on the arm of a handsome young man, though he was disappointed he wasn't surprised. he had only himself to blame for not approaching you sooner. and why would you say yes to him? he was too far removed from you in almost every way.

days turn to weeks. weeks turn to months. each one finds him gazing longingly at you with your lovely young - fiance? husband? he's not sure which - out and about. he's certain that he's missed his chance, but he quietly wishes you a happy marriage.

one particularly stormy night, he's reading by the fireplace in one of the sitting rooms on the first floor. the house is quiet, the staff having gone to bed for the night. he would have gone to bed nearly an hour ago, but tonight he was restless.

he's almost convinced he's imagining things when he hears a knock at the door, light but insistent. he furrows his brow, shutting his book, and walking to the door, nearly starting in surprise at the sight of you.

you're soaked to the bone and shivering, leaning heavily on the doorframe. your eyes are red-rimmed and weary when you look up at him.

"mr. boldwood," you start, voice shaky. "i'm so sorry to bother you so late but... i didn't know where else to go."

"oh. of course," he answers, wincing inwardly at himself. "please, come in."

once you reach the sitting room, he helps you into a seat by the fire before quickly heading off to find some tea and dry clothes for you. he bought a few dresses with the intent of gifting them to you, though he never did. he hesitates before bringing one down, at first unsure of how you'll react to him - well known to be a bachelor, despite his age, in the community - having such clothing in his home. however, ultimately your not falling ill is far more important than his pride, so he brings the dress.

you say nothing, weary as you are, simply slipping into a nearby room to change while he retrieves food and tea from the kitchen.

once the two of you are settled again in the sitting room, he draws his chair closer to yours, watching you intently as you mechanically sip your tea.

"my fiance left me," you choke out.

"left you?" mr. boldwood repeats dumbly, shock evident in his features. you don't look at him, cheeks red with shame.

"we've been having terrible arguments for weeks now," you continue. "he told me at supper that he'd gotten a divorce this morning. then he cast me out - said he would send my things to wherever i managed to find to stay, but that he never..." here your voice breaks as you fight back more tears. "that he never wanted to see me again."

there is a break of silence and you close your eyes. the crackle of the fire, the patter of the rain against the windows, and the presence of the man beside you smoothing over the wrinkles of your tears and heartbreak.

"you know," you say dimly, eyes fluttering open again. "i don't think he really loved me."

mr. boldwood's gaze flicks up to yours, stunned at your rather brazen statement.

"what would make you think such a thing?" he asks, deep voice gentle and calming. you turn to meet his eyes, once more fighting tears.

"because, you see, mr. boldwood - i am pregnant," you answer, swallowing hard around the lump in your throat. his eyes widen slightly. "and no man who truly loved his wife would cast her out of his house while she was with child when she had done nothing to incur such treatment."

mr. boldwood's eyes fall away from you for a moment, flicking momentarily to your middle. there was a bit of a swell there he hadn't noticed before, too flustered by your sudden appearance and worried for your wellbeing to properly pay attention.

when he meets your eyes again, there's a terrified sort of certainty in his gaze that causes you to inhale sharply.

"i know this may seem inappropriate," he says, voice slightly shaky. "but, i feel i should tell you now - i have wanted you as my wife for the past several months. i know it is wrong to want another man's wife, and for that i am ashamed. but hearing your plight now..."

he stops for a moment, meeting your gaze again. your eyes are wide, filled with some tempest of emotions he can't identify. so he presses on, eyes never leaving yours.

"i can offer you shelter and protection. i will give you whatever it is your heart desires. i can promise i will never abandon you - or your child. and, if you'll forgive my boldness - i can promise to love you, to cherish you, for the rest of your life."

tears fill your eyes at his words. if you were being honest with yourself, you had quite fancied him when you first saw him at the market. he had seemed interested in you, so you waited for him to make the first move - only it had never happened. though it was childish, you had half gotten into your previous relationship in an effort to spur him forward. how marvelously that plan had worked out.

"of course," he added quickly. "we would wait, for propriety's sake. and i don't want you to think i am simply jumping at an opportunity to claim you for myself. i do care for you - very much - and i don't want to force you. but, if you'll have me..."

he trailed off, his cheeks rosy in the firelight. his eyes were pleading, though you could tell he was desperately trying to keep his composure. you smiled weakly. you were probably too emotional to make a reasonable decision at the moment, but you didn't care. you wanted him, and you weren't going to let this opportunity to protect your baby go to waste.

"i will," you answer. "i will have you. i, too, have wanted you for a long time - and i would be honored and very pleased to have you as my husband."

a mixture of surprise and joy fill his features, a tentative smile pulling at his lips. you reach for his hand and his rises with you, tentatively pulling you into a hug.

he drops a kiss on your head, smiling into your hair as you smile into his chest, basking in the warmth of unexpected joy in the midst of a storm.

okay, i did not intend for this to get this long, i swear. i hope you enjoy this, though. also i apologize for any spelling/grammar errors or anything like that, i didn't proofread this at all. just thought i'd send it in for you to enjoy, if you like.

also before i forget to say it, i really love your writing! your story about azi and crowley and nightingale and the girls are so, so sweet - not to mention, of course, all your other imagines and works for the azi/crowley/nightingale universe and michael sheen's characters and such. you capture the characters you write so well and i love reading your work.

anyway, before this gets any longer - i hope you like this and i hope you have a better day tomorrow! lots of love!

awww thank you! I enjoyed reading this so much! And as for the first fic I’ve actually written something similar myself years ago (once again proof we all share a single braincell in this fandom lmfao) 💕

Okay, remeber my post about Earthspark AUs? It was written at 3 am, so I redid the text and made it more clear! Welcome under the cut!

Those AUs splinter after the second batch, tho this still gonna lead to direct confrontation with GHOST. Here's comes several different ideas.

Idea 1. The reason Bee was actively hunted by GHOST is bc Croft knows he's a powerful outliner.

I had different versions of what this power can be, like power to make storms, hydrokinesis (Bee loves water in this AU), or something like bioresonance from Signalis (this one super cool and fun!).

During the war Megatron wanted a bioweapon, so ordered Shockwave to make one. Young Bee was living in the facility and interacted with other young 'cons that were claimed by by Decepticons at birth. That's how Bee know Brackdown.

But he had little freedom, and he was experimented on. Eventually he couldn't take it anymore and snapped really badly, his powers killed anyone in the facility expect Stunticons (they were out at the moment)and Shockwave with Megatron ( who were in the same room with Bee)

Megatron kills him ( or specifically, he thinks he killed Bee) and discared outside, and that's where Optimus finds and rescues him. Bee has little memory of this and his powers were dormant ever since.

Unfortunatly, Croft found some classified decepticon files about Bee. She wants Bee as a weapon, so she can invade other countries on Earth first, and then other worlds, including Cybetron. Tho she would happily control other cybertronians using Mandroid's tech (which she controlled with energon and eventually killed him).

She wanted to use Optimus first, but the found out that's Maltos hide Terrans and Bee, so he decided to use his family to lure him out. And when everyone is gathered in final confrontation, she sticks the mind controlling device on him. Except instead of being controlled, Bee goes berserk bc the device uncovered all his trauma.

Everything descends into chaos. Idea 1a. Bumblebee wasn't artificially created, but he kidnapped from Caminus, a colony that isolated itself off entirely when off started. Camines basically all outliners and Megatron wanted his bioweapon, so Bee was taken. When he lived on Caminus he knew Windblade, another batchmate that was born not long after him and they were besties.

Bc of trauma from experiments, he forgot his previous life entirely, while Windy was looking for him. Eventually she reaches Earth of her own that when they reunite.

Idea 2. Bee doesn't have any powers and GHOST were more interested in Terrans and kid's cybersleeves. They invaded Maltos, took everyone hostage, and she mortally wounds Bee before GHOST leaves with Maltos captured.

Slowly dying he finds strength to go back to the cave, squeeze really hard into the hole to reach the Embersone and begs it for help. In return the stone gets absorbed into his spark, transforming him into powerful creature ( in my case of course, a dragon! But I was thinking of eastern dragon this time, or even Bakunawa - a serpent dragon from Philippine mythology).

Of course it comes with the price and the stone is gradually killing him bc no mortal can hold that much power inside their body, but he willing to pay.

Also, his gets added to the Terran collective, so kids suddenly can feel emotions.

Idea 2a. That Alex was also left behind with dying Bee ( Croft thought the historian is weak and wont interfere, while Dot presents a threat). Alex is the one run to the cave and bring the stone to Bee. But Bee is very disheartened, beating himself up bc he failed to protect anyone, so Alex to comfort him tells him a story from mythology (idk which one, maybes something with a dragon again if there are fitting stories?) which helps Bee to focus and regain resolve and take the stone's power.

Ending In all cases, Bumblebee is dying after the main fight, so Terrans with kids use the power of Emberstone to save him. They get into his mind a seem glimpses of his trauma and how he often feels powerless and he desire to be a hero and being self-sacrificing to combat this.

He's like okay with dying, but Twitch protests, repeating his own words back to him ( "I wont leave you until you're save, that what family means!") and tells him that he can't die right after he begin to actually live. For idea 1 he can die before he finds his alt-mode, for idea 2 he can't just die without enjoying his chosen altmode first.

They remind him that he has home and family to return too, and it was enough for to stabilize and survive. Good ending!~

Does T have any intention of stopping being R's friend?

No, T has no intention of ending their friendship. He sees their bond as something truly genuine and unique. I feel like he has never experienced a connection like the one they share. R really is a joy in his life; he is a lighter version of himself when she is around, and he truly appreciates the mutual support they share. Right now, he might feel like he's the one who's giving the most to their friendship, like he's the only one putting real effort into maintaining their communication. He could be the one texting first or suggesting doing something together more often, while R might seem distant — it's nothing personal. She is likely busy and focused on another aspect of her life at the moment, which he might interpret as a lack of reciprocity. He might also be feeling unappreciated and left out by her. I sense he might end up taking a hint soon and stepping back a bit, waiting for her to have the time and willingness to reach out to him first, but he has no intention of cutting off contact completely. They can distance themselves as much as they want, but they'll still find each other on the same path back to where they left off.

Why doesn't T break up with BB?

There are a lot of emotional issues. There's lack of communication, trust and commitment. As I said in the first reading, T struggles with self-reflection. He's avoiding communication because he doesn't want to deal with introspection, he doesn't want to open up about how he's feeling and he might be ignoring how she's feeling as well. He's too comfortable to work on issues and he's too comfortable to break up. He doesn't want to be alone either, he likes the steadiness of being in a relationship, even if that relationship no longer serves him well. Right now, I see him staying out of fear of change and lack of motivation to take the right action and decision. There is also a sense of obligation. He might feel that he built a life with her and shared experiences that are difficult to leave behind, and he's unsure what it will be like after a breakup. I also see a projection of a past relationship here, he might have had another long-term relationship that he invested in making work, but failed to maintain it — now, he doesn't want to make the same mistake. I believe he noticed a fear of breaking out of the comfort zone in her first and might not want to be the one to push her out of it. He doesn't want to disappoint her. In this case, he might be waiting for her to take the first step toward a breakup.

Why does BB stay? Why does she accept this situation? What is she waiting for?

Similar to T, she's also afraid of the change that a breakup could bring, with the exception that she is much more entrenched in her comfort zone. The energy here is one of someone who likes routine and values stability, the type who is always ordering the same food, rereading the same book, has a comfort color, a comfort movie and all that. By staying, she is holding on to what is familiar and avoiding a fresh start, which is what scares her the most. She might be afraid of being alone, too. Sadly, I see her struggling with self-esteem and some co-dependency issues, and finding it difficult to establish boundaries and speak up for her desires. I also see that she recognizes the lack of emotional fulfillment in their relationship and the absence of communication, but she's lacking the inner strength and courage to stand up for herself, too. She doesn't seem to know how to handle conflict, and as a result, she might end up accepting what she doesn't agree with. I feel like she's used to downplaying what she's feeling for his sake, including her likes and dislikes. If he randomly decides to climb Mount Everest, she might not like the idea, but she'll go along with it because he suggested it. Her high level of acceptance is a sign that she might indeed not feel empowered to assert herself in their situation. There is a sense of powerlessness surrounding her because she recognizes that she can't change him — by the looks of it, it seems like she's already tried — and now she's in a position of hoping for a miracle. She can't fix him and is hoping he can fix himself. To sum it up, she's waiting for a “magical” transformation on his part because she might feel she has no control over their dynamic and that there's nothing she can do if he doesn't want to change yet.

How does BB feel about JV?

I don't think I have much more to expand on. Although BB is aware of JV's presence in his life, she might not see her as someone who's close to him. I don't see her catching anything that would be enough to make her suspicious either. He might also avoid talking about Jasmine, reinforcing BB's idea that the two are nothing more than colleagues. However, there's a possibility they met in person. The energy surrounding this potential meeting is one of enthusiasm and joy, suggesting it might have occurred at a social gathering where they were introduced to each other. In this context, I see BB having a good impression of her, finding her nice and enjoying the interaction they might have shared. To be honest, I don't see her being focused or worried about Jasmine right now. BB strikes me as someone who can be quite naive most of the time, often having a hard time reading other people's intentions and being easily influenced by what they show on the surface. If it's not about to bite her in the face, she'll let it go unnoticed.

The necklace question:

The necklace is not random. There is indeed a sentimental value to it. T sees it as a form of protection. He might also feel like it's as a symbol of luck, like an amulet. For him, the necklace can be a source of comfort and strength. I see it as being a direct connection between him and a memory he holds dear, perhaps from the day he got it. It doesn't seem to be a gift from BB or anything related to her. I don't see him holding on to or reminiscing about a past relationship in this context either, and since the necklace would serve as a recurring reminder of the person who gave it, I'm ruling out the possibility of it being a gift from a past relationship as well. The necklace seems to symbolize the end of a challenging chapter and a new beginning in his life. It's likely that he bought it himself, but there's still a meaning behind it, such as purchasing it during a special trip or because the object reminded him of something or someone, or he felt a sense of identification with it. I'm assuming he might have acquired it when he moved to New York.

That's it for now, guys 💙 And thanks for the questions, I'll check the others soon!

Hey Blue! Holy shit, this is a long reading 😭 we’re blessed by you :)

“No, T has no intention of ending their friendship. He sees their bond as something truly genuine and unique.”

5uicid3 postponed! My skin is now clear. My edges have grown back! We cheered!

“I feel like he has never experienced a connection like the one they share. R really is a joy in his life; he is a lighter version of himself when she is around, and he truly appreciates the mutual support they share.”

I love when Tarots get this kind of reading tbh. I know some anons say he should leave her but clearly he doesn’t see her the same way when do. It’s also a reminder that he’s known her 2+ years now and is happy to be where he is with her shrugs

“Right now, he might feel like he's the one who's giving the most to their friendship, like he's the only one putting real effort into maintaining their communication.”

How interesting…I feel like months ago it was her who was the enforcer in their friendship. The tables have turned 👀

“He could be the one texting first or suggesting doing something together more often, while R might seem distant — it's nothing personal.”

First of all, getting an Aquarius man to text first is a miracle itself lol

And ugh, he’s always offering to do things and she always turns it down. One day he’s going to stop asking and she’ll wonder why…people get tired of being told no.

“She is likely busy and focused on another aspect of her life at the moment, which he might interpret as a lack of reciprocity. He might also be feeling unappreciated and left out by her.”

Ngl she really should spend time with family and friends these next few months. I don’t know why but it seems like she’s not worried about SW controversy anymore and trying not to let the hate get to her but she’s still being reckless imo. There’s a difference between pretending not to care about the hate and thinking the hate went away / is over. She should take time to talk to T or anyone who cares about her and cherish them because it’s going to be a brutal year for her soon. She's not thinking about it now but she will need support soon and he’s going to be too busy to emotionally support her. And I hope she doesn’t feel left out by him when the roles are reversed shrugs

“I sense he might end up taking a hint soon and stepping back a bit, waiting for her to have the time and willingness to reach out to him first, but he has no intention of cutting off contact completely. They can distance themselves as much as they want, but they'll still find each other on the same path back to where they left off.”

This is good! They seem to have a relationship where no matter how long they don’t talk, they pick up where they left off. I’m really nervous about her SW campaign next year. But maybe T will go to her show? I hope so! And maybe the SW premiere too 👀 full circle moment! Snow suppers snow!

“There are a lot of emotional issues. There's lack of communication, trust and commitment. As I said in the first reading, T struggles with self-reflection.”

Funny he only seems to have this issue with BB 💀 or more of an issue with her

“He's avoiding communication because he doesn't want to deal with introspection, he doesn't want to open up about how he's feeling and he might be ignoring how she's feeling as well.”

Yeah we have evidence that he doesn’t care about her feelings too much. The crazy part is I don’t think he does it on purpose. I don’t see him going “hmm this will hurt BB, so let me do xyz” nope! I see him just doing something and truly not thinking about her at all which is much worse imo. He doesn’t even stop to consider if something will hurt her lol.

“He's too comfortable to work on issues and he's too comfortable to break up. He doesn't want to be alone either, he likes the steadiness of being in a relationship, even if that relationship no longer serves him well.”

I agree with this. He can easily break up with her so the fact that he doesn’t, let’s me know he likes being in a relationship in general and likes stability too.

“Right now, I see him staying out of fear of change and lack of motivation to take the right action and decision. There is also a sense of obligation. He might feel that he built a life with her and shared experiences that are difficult to leave behind, and he's unsure what it will be like after a breakup.”

It could also be that there’s so many changes going on around him that he wants something to stay the same. BB represents his old life, something he probably misses tbh. He likes his job but a lot has changed in the past year so he may feel like BB is one of the few things he has left from years ago 😭 I can understand that.

“I also see a projection of a past relationship here, he might have had another long-term relationship that he invested in making work, but failed to maintain it — now, he doesn't want to make the same mistake. I believe he noticed a fear of breaking out of the comfort zone in her first and might not want to be the one to push her out of it. He doesn't want to disappoint her. In this case, he might be waiting for her to take the first step toward a breakup.”

BB is a Taurus, she loves stability and routine so she’s not breaking up with him anytime soon. She’s used to his nonsense by now so why break up with him if she has been dealing with it for 4 years? Most women don’t get tired of a man’s BS (if they truly want to be with him) until like 7 years in. I know many women who stay 5+ years and only get tired once it gets closer to a decade. Sad but it’s reality. In situations like this, 8 out 10 times, when a woman breaks up with a man after a longer term relationship, the man gets into another relationship in like 5 months and marries them. BB’s a placeholder and she needs to leave before he wastes more of her time.

“Similar to T, she's also afraid of the change that a breakup could bring, with the exception that she is much more entrenched in her comfort zone. The energy here is one of someone who likes routine and values stability, the type who is always ordering the same food, rereading the same book, has a comfort color, a comfort movie and all that.”

LOL I wrote the above before I read this part but exactly.

“By staying, she is holding on to what is familiar and avoiding a fresh start, which is what scares her the most. She might be afraid of being alone, too.”

BB, you’re pretty and you won’t be alone…you’ll have me by your side. When can talk shit about R when zeglyth gets married! We can egg their house too!

“Sadly, I see her struggling with self-esteem and some co-dependency issues, and finding it difficult to establish boundaries and speak up for her desires.”

Tbf every time she tried to deliver an ultimatum, it never worked so she should give up lol I’m not saying she should remain voiceless but how many times is she going to tolerate disrespect?

“I also see that she recognizes the lack of emotional fulfillment in their relationship and the absence of communication, but she's lacking the inner strength and courage to stand up for herself, too.”

This is sad. How long has she felt like this? Did she always have these issues or did this start recently? Did R change their dynamic that much?

“She doesn't seem to know how to handle conflict, and as a result, she might end up accepting what she doesn't agree with. I feel like she's used to downplaying what she's feeling for his sake, including her likes and dislikes. If he randomly decides to climb Mount Everest, she might not like the idea, but she'll go along with it because he suggested it.”

She’s a people pleaser. I think she just wants to be a supportive gf (doesn’t want to rain on his parade basically) but doesn’t know how to put her opinion on things either. Or maybe she knows her opinion doesn’t matter anyway and stays silent.

“Her high level of acceptance is a sign that she might indeed not feel empowered to assert herself in their situation. There is a sense of powerlessness surrounding her because she recognizes that she can't change him — by the looks of it, it seems like she's already tried — and now she's in a position of hoping for a miracle. She can't fix him and is hoping he can fix himself. To sum it up, she's waiting for a “magical” transformation on his part because she might feel she has no control over their dynamic and that there's nothing she can do if he doesn't want to change yet.”

Ladies, you can’t change a man. That’s a toxic mentality. A man will change on his own…for the right person / reasons. If he doesn’t change for you then he doesn’t think you’re the right person to change for.

“I don't think I have much more to expand on. Although BB is aware of JV's presence in his life, she might not see her as someone who's close to him. I don't see her catching anything that would be enough to make her suspicious either. He might also avoid talking about Jasmine, reinforcing BB's idea that the two are nothing more than colleagues. However, there's a possibility they met in person. The energy surrounding this potential meeting is one of enthusiasm and joy, suggesting it might have occurred at a social gathering where they were introduced to each other.”

How interesting and unexpected lol tbf like that past anon said, JV isn’t on set for too long and has a small role in BTK so she’s not there long enough to influence BB’s judgment towards her.

“In this context, I see BB having a good impression of her, finding her nice and enjoying the interaction they might have shared. To be honest, I don't see her being focused or worried about Jasmine right now. BB strikes me as someone who can be quite naive most of the time, often having a hard time reading other people's intentions and being easily influenced by what they show on the surface. If it's not about to bite her in the face, she'll let it go unnoticed.”

This might be true lol I wonder when she noticed zeglyth happening under her nose. It was probably too late then. But I sort of understand how zeglyth probably shocked her. Because the boar was on set so BB probably thought to herself that her man was safe because R was taken and occupied but nope 💀

“The necklace is not random. There is indeed a sentimental value to it. T sees it as a form of protection. He might also feel like it's as a symbol of luck, like an amulet. For him, the necklace can be a source of comfort and strength.”

I’m so glad you answered the necklace question! The necklace (jewelry in general) suits him well!

“I see it as being a direct connection between him and a memory he holds dear, perhaps from the day he got it. It doesn't seem to be a gift from BB or anything related to her. I don't see him holding on to or reminiscing about a past relationship in this context either, and since the necklace would serve as a recurring reminder of the person who gave it, I'm ruling out the possibility of it being a gift from a past relationship as well.”

Maybe a Juilliard gift? Someone from his family gifted it to him when he got accepted or graduated? I can see that it holds a lot of meaning. Or when he got his first role?

“The necklace seems to symbolize the end of a challenging chapter and a new beginning in his life. It's likely that he bought it himself, but there's still a meaning behind it, such as purchasing it during a special trip or because the object reminded him of something or someone, or he felt a sense of identification with it. I'm assuming he might have acquired it when he moved to New York.”

Oh I really love this thought and theory! This was such a great way to end the reading! Thanks so much, Blue!
