Medusa By Baldemar Rivas

i'm such a huge fucking fan of having and using magic requiring effort. whether mental, physical, or both. i'm so fond of magic systems that make you sweat, bleed, cry and get your hands dirty when you use them. i love it when powers are earned, not inherent, through years of study and/or exercizing them like a muscle. and i love it when a seemingly effortless display of power is terrifying because of this.

im still laughing at this

why do you charge money for your art

big fan of eating

“It was all she ever wanted: to dwell in peace, without the shadow of her past hunting her.”

— Sarah J. Maas, Kingdom of Ash

How do you guess someone’s ascendant?

First of all, it can always be hard and confusing, especially if someone has planets in 1st House. (example: Pluto in 1st House can bring a certain kind of intensity to someone, sometimes even a “dark” presence, deep eyes, even if they are light in colour)

Fire Risings: Talkative, in some cases confrontational, they speak their mind and that can cause some people to dislike them, because of their bold rawness. Usually smile/laugh a lot and have strong charisma. People either adore them or dislike them from the start.

Aries rising: Bold, brave, independent. That’s what they portray. Could have a “loud” voice and sometimes swear a lot. They don’t care what people will think and they’re very blunt. Likes attention, could seem child-like(competitive, pout when someone does something better than them)

Leo rising: Very charming and have a warm presence. Love to make jokes and are the ones that try to make others feel comfortable. Very approachable and can easily make friends, unless they appear conceited(which can happen in some cases). 

Sagittarius rising: Easygoing, likeable, humorous. The kind of people that everyone loves. Very sociable and treat everyone equally. Enthusiastic and almost always positive. Always have an opinion, no matter what the topic is. Can appear wise and mature.

Water risings: A lot quieter than the rest, can even appear shy. Don’t like to be the center of attention. Could appear isolated and distant, even lost. Wouldn’t be the type to talk to someone unless the person approaches them first.

Cancer: Something about them appears soft, whether that’s physically or their manners, the way they treat people. Although they aren’t the most talkative and are usually shy, they are very kind. Soft smile, could often cling onto their friends.

Scorpio: Likely to wear dark colours! They could appear scary or unapproachable even if they don’t want to. They like to stay alone, apart from the crowd and don’t smile a lot. Could have a very intense gaze, you feel like they see your soul.

Pisces: Could be social but not the one to lead conversations or talk to people first. They daydream a lot and look like they’re somewhere else/look disoriented. Very soft, breathy voice. The ones to always play with animals when they see them.

Earth risings: Have something very calming about them. The types to always appear composed, no matter what the situations is. Aren’t the most talkative and can appear judgemental at times(even if they don’t want to)

Taurus: Very chill,have a very slow, pleasant voice. They always make their atmosphere comfortable no matter where they are. Bring coffee, adjust their seats, sometimes almost lie when they seat on a sofa(if the situation is appropriate). Easygoing and appear approachable. 

Virgo: Might seem judgemental even if they don’t want to(it’s usually because they’re nervous). Always try to look put-together and composed. They might seem colder when you talk to them(at first). The ones that bring a lot of things in their bag “just in case”. Always willing to help.

Capricorn: They don’t smile and can appear too serious. Not the ones to approach others, but they aren’t nervous when they socialize. Confident(appear to, when they aren’t), will never look messy or out of place. 

Air risings: They are talkative and friendly, easily adjust to social situations. Might be the ones to do most talking. Sometimes playful, sometimes appear distant. They are the ones that get blamed for “flirting” when they are just too nice.

Gemini: Might move a lot. Fast voice, usually higher. They are often the ones to approach others to make friends or just small talk. Joke a lot, laugh a lot, have a child-like quality to them. Always curious and ask questions. Can be flirtacious but it’s almost always in a joking manner. 

Libra: Lovely! They are the ones that are calm yet social. They are easy to make contact with others and are very charming in the way they do it. Best manners, a soft speaking voice(even men), always try to look good. Love to flatter others and get that in return.

Aquarius: Very friendly but they keep their distance from people. Not afraid to socialize but they prefer not to. Could isolate themselves from the crowds and do their own thing. Their style is very eccentric or they wear dark clothes. Might make the jokes that not everyone get/refer to things most people won’t understand.

TV Executives: “if the strike goes on, you won’t get new episodes of your favorite shows! You won’t get new movies you were looking forward to! Isn’t that terrible, what the writers are doing to you?”

Me: Bitch, that might have been an effective threat in 2007, but we have since survived a Covid shutdown and discovered ways to amuse ourselves while we waited, we can outwait this shit, too. I got a pile of shows saved I haven’t even watched yet, and a Mt. TBR waiting for me.

Compensate (and respect) your writers for their work, assholes.

Hi, guys!

As you may know, I am Ukrainian. I live in Kyiv. I have lived here since I was born and I love my country with my whole heart.

I see a lot of misinformation under the tag "Ukraine". Most of it comes from American people, who try to explain the conflict in their own words. They can't. It's impossible to explain if you haven't lived here. There are too many influences on this conflict. You keep looking from an american perspective, which is not crucial in understanding the conflict.

For example, have you ever had you language forbidden? Like straight up forbidden by the law? It happened to Ukrainian language a lot of times thought our history. And who did it? The Russian Empire. And it's not the end of it. The genocides, the assimilation, the deportation. Have you even researched Ukrainian history?

You do not uplift Ukrainian voices enough. And you should if you care about what's happening. If you don’t do it, you're just doing a performance of your support and activism.

Lucky for you, I am a Ukrainian person! And I am DYING TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS. I scored 191/200 points on my graduation exam in history, so you can suppose I know something about Ukrainian history.

If you stand for Ukraine, uplift Ukrainian voices. Educate yourself. Learn Ukrainian history. Ask Ukrainian people
