Love is a powerful force that can bring immense joy and fulfillment into our lives. In the realm of astrology, each zodiac sign possesses unique traits and characteristics that can influence how we approach love and relationships. By understanding our zodiac sign's strengths and weaknesses, we can harness their energy to manifest love in our lives. In this article, we will explore how each zodiac sign can use their innate qualities to attract and nurture a loving and lasting relationship.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20):

Taurus individuals are grounded and reliable, making them great partners. To manifest love, Taurus should focus on creating stability in their own lives, which will attract like-minded individuals. They should also be open to trying new experiences to keep the spark alive in their relationships.

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21):

Sagittarians are adventurous and open-minded. To manifest love, they should seek partners who share their zest for life and exploration. Sagittarians should also work on balancing their need for independence with the commitment required in a relationship.

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19):

Capricorns are ambitious and responsible. To manifest love, they should let go of their workaholic tendencies and make time for their relationships. Capricorns should also learn to express their emotions more openly and avoid emotional detachment.

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18):

Aquarians are independent and innovative. To manifest love, they should embrace their uniqueness and find partners who respect their need for freedom. Aquarians should also remember to show their emotions and not be afraid to be vulnerable in their relationships.

Pisces (February 19 - March 20):

Pisceans are compassionate and artistic. To manifest love, they should trust their intuition and avoid getting lost in their romantic fantasies. Pisceans should seek partners who appreciate their creativity and emotional depth.

Conclusion:

Astrology provides valuable insights into our personalities and how we interact with others, especially in matters of love. By understanding and embracing the qualities of our zodiac signs, we can manifest love in a way that aligns with our authentic selves.

Remember, while astrology can offer guidance, true love ultimately depends on openness, communication, and mutual respect in any relationship.

Very interesting to me that a certain subset of the BES fandom's favourite iterations of Mizu and Akemi are seemingly rooted in the facades they have projected towards the world, and are not accurate representations of their true selves.

And I see this is especially the case with Mizu, where fanon likes to paint her as this dominant, hyper-masculine, smirking Cool GuyTM who's going to give you her strap. And this idea of Mizu is often based on the image of her wearing her glasses, and optionally, with her cloak and big, wide-brimmed kasa.

And what's interesting about this, to me, is that fanon is seemingly falling for her deliberate disguise. Because the glasses (with the optional combination of cloak and hat) represent Mizu's suppression of her true self. She is playing a role.

Take this scene of Mizu in the brothel in Episode 4 for example. Here, not only is Mizu wearing her glasses to symbolise the mask she is wearing, but she is purposely acting like some suave and cocky gentleman, intimidating, calm, in control. Her voice is even deeper than usual, like what we hear in her first scene while facing off with Hachiman the Flesh-Trader in Episode 1.

This act that Mizu puts on is an embodiment of masculine showboating, which is highly effective against weak and insecure men like Hachi, but also against women like those who tried to seduce her at the Shindo House.

And that brings me to how Mizu's mask is actually a direct parallel to Akemi's mask in this very same scene.

Here, Akemi is also putting up an act, playing up her naivety and demure girlishness, using her high-pitched lilted voice, complimenting Mizu and trying to make small talk, all so she can seduce and lure Mizu in to drink the drugged cup of sake.

So what I find so interesting and funny about this scene, characters within it, and the subsequent fandom interpretations of both, is that everyone seems to literally be falling for the mask that Mizu and Akemi are putting up to conceal their identities, guard themselves from the world, and get what they want.

It's also a little frustrating because the fanon seems to twist what actually makes Mizu and Akemi's dynamic so interesting by flattening it completely. Because both here and throughout the story, Mizu and Akemi's entire relationship and treatment of each other is solely built off of masks, assumptions, and misconceptions.

Akemi believes Mizu is a selfish, cocky male samurai who destroyed her ex-fiance's career and life, and who abandoned her to let her get dragged away by her father's guards and forcibly married off to a man she didn't know. on the other hand, Mizu believes Akemi is bratty, naive princess who constantly needs saving and who can't make her own decisions.

These misconceptions are even evident in the framing of their first impressions of each other, both of which unfold in these slow-motion POV shots.

Mizu's first impression of Akemi is that of a beautiful, untouchable princess in a cage. Swirling string music in the background.

Akemi's first impression of Mizu is of a mysterious, stoic "demon" samurai who stole her fiance's scarf. Tense music and the sound of ocean waves in the background.

And then, going back to that scene of them together in Episode 4, both Mizu and Akemi continue to fool each other and hold these assumptions of each other, and they both feed into it, as both are purposely acting within the suppressive roles society binds them to in order to achieve their goals within the means they are allowed (Akemi playing the part of a subservient woman; Mizu playing the part of a dominant man).

But then, for once in both their lives, neither of their usual tactics work.

Akemi is trying to use flattery and seduction on Mizu, but Mizu sees right through it, knowing that Akemi is just trying to manipulate and harm her. Rather than give in to Akemi's tactics, Mizu plays with Akemi's emotions by alluding to Taigen's death, before pinning her down, and then when she starts crying, Mizu just rolls her eyes and tells her to shut up.

On the opposite end, when Mizu tries to use brute force and intimidation, Akemi also sees right through it, not falling for it, and instead says this:

"Under your mask, you're not the killer you pretend to be."

Nonetheless, despite the fact that they see a little bit through each other's masks, they both still hold their presumptions of each other until the very end of the season, with Akemi seeing Mizu as an obnoxious samurai swooping in to save the day, and Mizu seeing Akemi as a damsel in distress.

And what I find a bit irksome is that the fandom also resorts to flattening them to these tropes as well.

Because Mizu is not some cool, smooth-talking samurai with a big dick sword as Akemi (and the fandom) might believe. All of that is the facade she puts up and nothing more. In reality, Mizu is an angry, confused and lonely child, and a masterful artist, who is struggling against her own self-hatred. Master Eiji, her father figure who knows her best, knows this.

And Akemi, on the other hand, is not some girly, sweet, vain and spoiled princess as Mizu might believe. Instead she has never cared for frivolous things like fashion, love or looks, instead favouring poetry and strategy games instead, and has always only cared about her own independence. Seki, her father figure who knows her best, knows this.

But neither is she some authoritative dominatrix, though this is part of her new persona that she is trying to project to get what she wants. Because while Akemi is willful, outspoken, intelligent and authoritative, she can still be naive! She is still often unsure and needs to have her hand held through things, as she is still learning and growing into her full potential. Her new parental/guardian figure, Madame Kaji, knows this as well.

So with all that being said, now that we know that Mizu and Akemi are essentially wearing masks and putting up fronts throughout the show, what would a representation of Mizu's and Akemi's true selves actually look like? Easy. It's in their hair.

This shot on the left is the only time we see Mizu with her hair completely down. In this scene, she's being berated by Mama, and her guard is completely down, she has no weapon, and is no longer wearing any mask, as this is after she showed Mikio "all of herself" and tried to take off the mask of a subservient housewife. Thus, here, she is sad, vulnerable, and feeling small (emphasised further by the framing of the scene). This is a perfect encapsulation of what Mizu is on the inside, underneath all the layers of revenge-obsession and the walls she's put around herself.

In contrast, the only time we Akemi with her hair fully down, she is completely alone in the bath, and this scene takes place after being scorned by her father and left weeping at his feet. But despite all that, Akemi is headstrong, determined, taking the reigns of her life as she makes the choice to run away, but even that choice is reflective of her youthful naivety. She even gets scolded by Seki shortly after this in the next scene, because though she wants to be independent, she still hasn't completely learned to be. Not yet. Regardless, her decisiveness and moment of self-empowerment is emphasised by the framing of the scene, where her face takes up the majority of the shot, and she stares seriously into the middle distance.

To conclude, I wish popular fanon would stop mischaracterising these two, and flattening them into tropes and stereotypes (ie. masculine badass swordsman Mizu and feminine alluring queen but also girly swooning damsel Akemi), all of which just seems... reductive. It also irks me when Akemi is merely upheld as a love interest and romantic device for Mizu and nothing more, when she is literally Mizu's narrative foil (takes far more narrative precedence over romantic interest) and the deuteragonist of this show. She is her own person. That is literally the theme of her entire character and arc.

Week after week, being there for us to cheer us up with your laughter and your jokes and your advice and your terrible pick up lines. I still have nothing in my heart but gratitude towards you, Channie. Thank you for continuing to be the most amazing person ever.

Understanding Soulmates: A Connection Beyond Words

Introduction

The concept of a soulmate has been captivating humanity for centuries, inspiring poets, writers, and dreamers alike. The idea that there is one special person out there who completes us, understands us on a profound level, and brings out the best in us is both comforting and intriguing. In this article, we will explore the concept of a soulmate, its different interpretations, and its significance in our lives.

Defining a Soulmate

A soulmate is commonly described as a person with whom one shares an extraordinary and deep connection that transcends time, space, and circumstances. This connection is believed to go beyond the realms of logic and physical attraction, involving an inexplicable bond between two individuals. Some describe it as a feeling of familiarity and recognition upon meeting, as if they have known each other for a lifetime, even if they've just met.

Types of Soulmates

Romantic Soulmate: This is the most commonly perceived type of soulmate. It refers to the partner with whom we feel an intense romantic connection. Romantic soulmates are believed to bring passion, understanding, and a sense of completeness to each other's lives.

Platonic Soulmate: This type of soulmate is not necessarily a romantic partner but someone with whom we share a deep and profound connection. It could be a best friend, a mentor, or even a family member. Platonic soulmates often understand us on a profound level, offering unwavering support and companionship.

Karmic Soulmate: Karmic soulmates are thought to come into our lives for a specific purpose – to teach us important life lessons or to help us grow emotionally and spiritually. These connections may be intense and sometimes challenging, but they serve as catalysts for personal development.

The Significance of Soulmate Connections

Self-Discovery: Soulmates often mirror parts of ourselves that we may not be fully aware of. They can help us discover hidden strengths, weaknesses, and aspects of our personality that require attention or development.

Growth and Transformation: Soulmate connections can be catalysts for growth and personal transformation. These relationships often challenge us to overcome obstacles, break patterns, and become better versions of ourselves.

Unconditional Support: Soulmates provide unwavering support and understanding, creating a safe space for vulnerability and emotional expression.

Spiritual Connection: Many view soulmate connections as a sign of spiritual alignment and destiny. The belief in soulmates often extends beyond a single lifetime, suggesting a cosmic connection that transcends time.

Finding Your Soulmate

The idea of finding a soulmate can be both exciting and daunting. While some people believe soulmates are predestined, others see it as a matter of chance or serendipity. Regardless of beliefs, there are several key aspects to keep in mind:

Self-Awareness: Understanding oneself is crucial in recognizing a soulmate connection. Being aware of personal values, goals, and desires can help attract a compatible partner.

Patience: Finding a soulmate can take time. Rushing into relationships without genuine connection may lead to disappointment.

Openness: Remaining open-minded and receptive to new experiences and people can increase the likelihood of encountering a soulmate.

Conclusion

The concept of a soulmate goes beyond mere romantic notions, encompassing deep connections, personal growth, and spiritual understanding. Whether through romantic, platonic, or karmic connections, soulmates play significant roles in our lives, guiding us towards self-discovery and transformation. As we navigate the journey of life, it is essential to stay open to the possibility of encountering these extraordinary connections that transcend the ordinary and enrich our existence.

ahahaha i’m so normal about how Robin thought she was going to lose her closest friend for coming out. her friend who got beaten for her, and who laughed with her while they were bloody and bruised and scared for their lives. i’m so normal about how she was already preparing to feel unwanted once again and forever envy everyone else for being “normal”

also so incredibly normal about how Steve also thought he was gonna lose his closest friend for being vulnerable and was ready to be pushed away because that’s what everyone before had done when he opened up hahahaha

and i’m so normal about the relief they shared when not only were they accepted, but also loved, by the other. hahahaha. so normal about them laughing and smiling because they showed parts of themselves they were scared of and still had their best friend hahah

#OH HAHAHA SO NORMAL #THIS IS SO UNREADABLE SORRY BUT I GOT WEEPY #they mean the world to me #stranger things #steve harrington #robin buckley #codependent stobin #stobin friendship #platonic stobin #platonic soulmates stobin #platonic with a capital p #steve and robin #robin stranger things #steve stranger things #stranger things posting
