Five of Wands. Art by Jordan Searose, from the Moon Prism Tarot. 

Struggle for Dominance

The Five of Wands is the moment when you find yourself in competition with others who have just as much drive and ambition as you do. Usagi and Rei early into their time as Senshi embody this card. Usagi was the first to become an inner scout and Rei has little patience for her crybaby antics. They each have their own perspectives, goals, and opinions. Because of this, no one is listening to one another and no work can be achieved towards a common goal. Instead conflict and petty arguments are creating little hope of unity.

Upright: The Five of Wands indicates that you need to have faith in your ability to rise above. It is time to listen and reflect to find a clear path forward. Whether this struggle is internal or external you have what you need inside of you to overcome it, you just might need to find it inside of you. Rei and Usagi have the potential to become not only the best of friends but part of an incredibly powerful team.

Reversed: The Five of Wands Reversed warns you of internal conflict where you cannot find a clear viewpoint. It may also indicate a fear of conflict and that you are ignoring problems that you should be paying attention to. You cannot ignore or avoid conflict, it will only create greater conflict.

👫 wrong account but for Maron ofc

Send a 👫and I’ll write four headcanons I have about our muse’s relationship / accepting / @azmenka @thagantm

Sooo, in thine eyes, the relationship between these two isn't fully realised until they're in Meereen. They flirt, stare, maybe there's been a kiss or two. But it's not until they've successfully furthered their pact with Daenery's that feelings come out, at least on Loras' part. There's a huge celebration in Meereen to celebrate that Dany is finally going back to Westeros with decent support. Maron and Loras take part in that for a while, drinking, dancing, mingling, it's essentially a date for them. and then they end up spending the night together, which for loras, is the first time since Renly. Not gonna lie, he feels guilty about it the morning after, which is probably no surprise. But the ship has pulled out of the harbour now and he can't deny the heart what it wants. His guilt dies away eventually, it just takes time.

modern: loras is notoriously not great at getting gifts. It's not because he doesn't care or somehow love Maron any less. On the contrary, he drives himself mad trying to pick something perfect because he does love Maron so much. But if or when that process becomes too much. Loras brings Maron houseplants, which are clippings from his own houseplants, and are suitable to live on a boat next to seawater. He writes out care instructions for Maron and gets him ocean themed pots for the plants. 😌

Just thinking like about how they develop a duo-like fighting style as they grow closer. They learn things from one another during spars, wordlessly agreeing to use what they've learned during a battle. and from that they become able to fight in tandem, going from being formidable opponents apart, to damn near invincible when paired together. And this is even before Meereensummation, and they're both so acutely aware of what's happening between them, tho loras attempts to deny it.

modern: the tyrell side, siblings aside, hate maron from the get go. which doesn't surprise loras since they're not too fond of him either. but the Hightowers, who are more liberal, actually kinda love him. Loras' grandfather and uncles particularly appreciate that Maron isn't the usual stuck up dickhead that Loras brings to meet them (he's a non stick up dickhead instead, but at least he treats loras well, which is the main concern), and Maron gets handed plenty of wine when Leyton bothers Loras to bring Maron over for dinner or a family event. They seem to love Maron almost as much as Loras does. But unfortunately, for Loras, it's where his stepgrandma brings out all the baby photos of him, and leads Maron about the house, showing off all of Loras' old sports trophies. Yes, Loras is very embarrassed, especially when she starts cheek pinching him and using all her little childhood nicknames for him. She's that grandma. And yeah.... eventually, the grandparents start asking when they're getting married. 😅

Searose Beach

Some Christmas Netrunner additions to our household. At the top, a new Quiver playmat carrier and a new, smaller Quiver I received from my wife. At the bottom, two Christmas-themed decks: An "Esâ in Suburbia" deck played by and alt-arted by SeaRose, and a 3x Deep Dive "Sleigh Girl Sleigh!" Sable played by and alt-arted by ZoeHope (I made the ID card for Nyusha "Sable" Santa-shta). I printed the decks, proxied in some Santa sleeves, and then put them in some dabbing/vacationing Santa deck boxes for my wife.

Hope everyone is having a great New Year so far!

Blood, Sweat, and Tears.

{Music}

{TW- Violence - Blood}

A furry of fists, the thundering crowd, the thick air filled with the scent of blood and sweat. This is where Emi belonged.

After the misstep with the Searose Company, her negligence nearly costing the life of a young Archeologist, it was clear she wasn't the most welcome of the crew. Even though Sariah had forgiven Emi for not being at the site on time, the action was enough to make her an outcast to the Company, a feeling Emveah loathed. Once the rescue wrapped up Emi took her pay and split from Searose to find her place yet again, this action led her down a path that opened doors to the Brawler's Guild and her new favorite career.

This was her fourth fight, a run of victories that kept the Monk's blood burning for more, but now she was outmatched. Emveah, a lean and green thing was pitted against a massive Draenei man whose fists struck like a rockslide down a mountain, crushing everything in its path. Dodging had only done her so much, expecting such a large man to move slower and being unpleasantly surprised with his swift strikes, leaving Emveah bloody, tired, and nearing her limit as the behemoth charged in her direction.

It was a snap decision, jumping into the air and mounting the man's shoulders mid-charge, her thighs wrapping around his neck and gripping as tight as possible to choke him out all while landing punch after punch to his face as he tried and failed to pull her off. Emi's choice paid off as the man fell to his knees and passed out from the lack of air, hitting the ground with a thud and throwing Emveah across the ring and against the makeshift wall. Her head was spinning from impact as the crowd went wild, cheering for Emi's fourth straight victory.

The final fights wrapped up as Emveah got bandaged up and collected her winnings, heading out for her typical fight night drinks only to be sidelined by a familiar face, Sariah stood just outside the Guild, waiting in hopes to speak with her.

Emveah took in a deep breath, exhaling a slow sigh before approaching. "Listen I've apologized all I can. I screwed up, but I'm glad you're okay....you are okay, right?" She quarried, now worried about some lasting damages from the woman getting caught up in a trap in an ancient tomb.

"Oh yes, quite well in fact," Sariah spoke with her soft tone and a kind smile toward an unconvinced Emveah. "However, I have been trying to locate you for some time now. I heard you had left the Company and I was furious...Gave the Captain a piece of my mind until he informed me that you had left of your own accord. This troubled me you see."

"What? Why?" Emi nearly shouted in response, having been expecting anger from the woman for being the cause of her unfortunate accident. "I screwed up by sleeping off a hangover. You could have died in there and I wasn't about to stick around and hear it from the Company for three more weeks, so I dipped, but I'm glad you're okay." Emi then began to walk away as Sariah quickly moved to block her path.

"You really ought to forgive yourself, I was the one that moved in without a spotter, I was the one that cause the trap to snare and got caught inside. You are not solely responsible for what happened. Would I have been out sooner if you were there? Yes. Would I still have been injured? Yes. You mustn't place all the blame on yourself. I explained this to the Captain before I learned you were gone." Sariah pleaded, hoping to alleviate the pain Emveah had placed on herself.

"Listen, you're a real nice lady, and while I wasn't the only one that screwed up, I still fell back on some real bad habits, shit I thought I had moved past but clearly that's not the case. So, thanks for trying, but there is plenty of reason for me to be pissed at myself." Emveah then pushed past Sariah and headed toward the tavern.

"Is that why you volunteer to get beaten into a pulp?" Sariah called after her.

"It's the only thing I'm good at!" Emi yelled back at her.
