cards pulled: 5 of swords, 4 of swords, page of wands, 6 of swords, knight of swords, 3 of swords
Okay PILE 1, UHM… instantly, you’re giving main character energy in a way that intimidates the sh*t out of people. Like you’re not even trying to be the center of attention, but somehow you always are? You enter a space and people are like, “Who do they think they are?” while also copying your stuff three days later. You walk with a silent type of confidence, very “don’t test me” energy. People sense you’ve had hard times, and even if they don’t know the details, they can feel it. You’ve got this inner toughness that’s kind of scary hot tbh. Your vibe is a whole psychological thriller. Like, folks don’t know whether to admire you, kiss you, or block you for their own emotional safety 😂
You probably learned the HARD way not to overshare. You likely had friendships that ended weirdly, conversations that drained you, people who twisted your words. And now? You’ve mastered the art of being unreadable but piercingly observant. This group is in their “🧠 > 🤡” era( I SAID WHAT I SAID😭) . You don’t argue. You just watch, process, distance yourself, and transform yourself in silence. THIS. This is the part that has people frothing. You’re unbothered. People can literally throw tantrums, shade, or even subtle digs at you, and you’ll be doing your own shit and minding your own mental health. You’re the kind of person who pulls back, protects their peace, and doesn't give people the satisfaction of a reaction. And bestie, THAT is maddening to people who need chaos to feel relevant. You choosing silence? You choosing yourself? You resting instead of people-pleasing? People cannot handle how you don’t chase or cling or overexplain. Your energy says, “If you cross me, I’ll just go leave, idc.” And that’s more threatening than any clapback. Them not feeling worthy enough is what piss them off
Ugh, I love this for you 😭 i sense this is youthful fire. Like, your curiosity, your passion, your spark, it’s infectious. Even when you’re figuring life out, you make it look like an adventure. People wish they had your sense of excitement, your ability to find beauty in the unknown, your passion projects, your spontaneous glow-up moments. You still believe in magic, and you chase it. People see that in you and lowkey get anxious sometimes which in turn leads to anxiety. You remind them of who they used to be or who they wish they were. You’re like their inner child’s inspiration and trigger at the same damn time 😭
If you ask how this jealousy shows up? Okay bestie, here’s the deal, they LEAVEEE. that's it....Like, people who get too jealous of you will slowly drift, ghost, or distance themselves. And it’s not because you did anything. Nope. It’s literally because your energy is a mirror, you unintentionally expose what they’re running from in themselves. So when someone exits your life out of nowhere? It's not always shade. It’s often that your growth, your self-protection, your refusal to settle… it gets too loud for their comfort. And some of them might even act like you’re "too much" or “hard to connect with” but that’s just projection, babe. They’re mad you're moving on, moving forward, and not looking back.
AND THIS is your sign to stop holding back. You’ve got things to say. Projects to create. Movements to spark. Opinions to express. And the universe is screaming at you to stop playing nice just to make insecure people feel comfy. You’re meant to lead. You’ve got clarity that cuts through the fluff, and people NEED that. You’re not here to be palatable; you’re here to be powerful.
Okay big hug 🤍 because this tells me your power didn’t come from sunshine and luck, alteast not always. It came from heartbreak, betrayal, disappointment. Like… people don’t get that your confidence is built on grief. You’ve transmuted pain into power. And while they’re busy watching your highlight reel, they have no idea you cried yourself into this version of you. That’s the hidden jealousy no one talks about, how you kept going when others would’ve collapsed. That’s the real intimidation.
I’m getting an oddly specific message: some people from your past (school friends? old internet mutuals?) STILL stalk you online. Like, they swear they don’t care, but they’re obsessed with the way you keep evolving. I even saw someone in my mind writing a note like “they always bounce back.” LMAO not them studying you😭
Stay sharp, baby. You’re meant to trigger AND inspire 💅🔥

cards pulled: the world, 9 of pentacles, ace of pentacles, ace of wands, queen of wands, 3 of swords
OMG okay wait PILE 2??! Babe… you’re not even walking into rooms, you’re making whole room shift when you show up (okay maybe a little exaggeration but i feel that way so i said it) 💀 but honestly, to me, This pile is aura-too-bright-for-this-world energy. The cards here?? ICONIC.
So right off the bat, with The World as your “vibe that catches attention instantly,” I audibly gasped. No, seriously ’m seeing someone who’s got that complete package aura. Like… when you walk into a space, people instantly sense that you’ve seen life, evolved, and you’re not here to play. You feel like someone who's been through seasons, leveled up through pain, and came out looking expensive, composed, and unbothered. There’s this whole “I’ve arrived” energy that surrounds you. It's not cocky it’s earned.
And paired with Nine of Pentacles + Ace of Pentacles + Ace of Wands + Queen of Wands, like… WHAT EVEN IS THIS POWER COMBO?? Bestie, you are literally the embodiment of “I’m secured, unshakable” I’m seeing you as someone who might have had to glow up alone. People ditched you during your struggle era.People are so jealous because you make independence look luxurious. And this isn’t fake rich aesthetic energy, it’s like… you actually worked for the stability you have now. Financial glow-up? Check. Confidence glow-up? Check. ENERGY glow-up? Baby, it’s off the charts. For people who havent yet received any of these, just wait lovelies, you are soon reaching that level! You come off as someone who doesn’t need anyone, but also, anyone would kill to be needed by you. your creative spark is lit as hell right now. You probably have 10 ideas swirling in your head at any moment. You’re the kind of person who creates something new out of nothing, and just have oodly specific magnetic quality. People can’t stop watching you like they’re not even sure why they’re drawn to you, but they are. You might post the most random thing on social media and get a hundred saves. It’s THAT type of energy. You intimidate people without trying. You could be in sweats and people are still clocking you like, “Who is THAT?” You walk in like a flame in a room full of plastic candles. I’m not gonna lie some folks deadass want your confidence, your glow, your ability to just own yourself. And they try to copy it, but it doesn’t hit the same because theirs is curated. Yours? Authentic AF.
BUT THEN… BOOM. We get hit with Three of Swords and oof. That changes the whole flavor of this pile. This is the secret ingredient in your power. People don’t realize that the reason you shine so hard now is because you had to crawl through heartbreak, betrayal, rejection, and emotional hell just to find your light again. Like, this is NOT surface-level sadness. This is “I had to rebuild my damn self when everyone left” energy. Your glow comes from grief you survived. Your confidence was carved out of loss. And people feel that even if they don’t consciously get it.
Let’s talk about how this jealousy shows up in behavior. Some people act fake supportive. You’ll notice them almost hyping you up, but it’s giving “I’m clapping, but I’m also watching to see when you fall.” Others might straight up ghost you the moment you succeed at something. Like, why is it crickets when you’re winning?? 😭 Some people are so triggered by your glow-up they pretend they don’t see it. You’ll post something huge and they’ll scroll past like they’re blind, but you know they saw it. Oh, they saw it. They’re LURKING. I’m picking up on past friends or even family members who remember you before you knew your worth, are mostly jealous. They don’t know how to deal with you now that you’ve stepped into your power. Also I’m feeling online strangers too. People who watch you, feel inferior, and try to tear you down in petty ways, shady energy, maybe even copying you to feel closer to your vibe. But it never lands right. Because your essence? It’s not copy-paste.
Babe… you’re not meant to be digestible to everyone. Your energy is big, your aura is blinding, and not everyone has the emotional range to celebrate that. Some people will see your light and clap. Others will squint and get mad that it hurts their eyes. That’s not your problem. The World card is reminding you: you’ve already completed one of the hardest chapters. You don’t need external validation. You ARE the moment. Keep planting those seeds (Ace of Pentacles), chase that inspiration (Ace of Wands), stay in your fiery power (Queen of Wands), and remember you’re glowing because you healed through hell. And that’s the real flex.
People aren't just jealous of what you have. they're haunted by the fact that nothing could break you.

Cards Pulled: ace of cups, 9 of wands, judgement, 10 of cups, the sun
OH BABY. PILE 3??? This one has me emotional chaos in the best way possible, like, I’m laughing, crying, cheering you on, and lowkey feeling jealous myself 😭✨ There’s just something so undeniably rare about your energy, and I’m gonna be real with you, people don’t just notice you… they get emotionally activated by you.
So right off the bat we open with the Ace of Cups as your “vibe that catches attention instantly.” GIRL. The softness. The emotional depth. The actual divine femininity (this quality is not restricted to one gender, it’s about the energy here) . People sense that your heart is open, your energy is healing, and you’ve got this naturally receptive, magnetic glow that pulls people in like you’re the human version of a warm hug and a deep exhale. You give off big “safe space” energy but also romantic, ethereal, dreamy vibes. It’s like… being around you makes people want to open up, cry, confess their life story and then fall in love with you. You’re that person.
And that’s exactly why the Nine of Wands shows up next because people have no idea how hard you’ve worked to stay this soft. You’ve been through so much emotional wounding, maybe abandonment, betrayal, family drama, heartbreak but instead of turning bitter, you became even more radiant. Bestie, you are literally the definition of a wounded healer. Your boundaries are firm now, but you still love so hard. You protect your peace(AS YOU SHOULD), but you’ve also never lost that softness. THAT is your power. You didn’t get cold. You got clear.
Now here’s the fun part: people are jealous as hell of your emotional fulfillment and the fact that you are so deeply in tune with yourself and others. The Ten of Cups and The Sun together?. This is “I’m manifesting the life of my dreams and I will protect my joy with my whole damn soul” energy. Whether or not you have the full picture yet (some of you may still be building it), people look at you and feel like: “Ugh. They’ve got it all.” The dream relationships. The emotional clarity. That sense of “I know what I want, and I will not settle for less.” That triggers people who feel lost, disconnected, or stuck in superficiality.
THIS is the energy that freaks people out the most. Because it’s the card of awakening. You’re someone who constantly reinvents yourself, levels up, and literally triggers people’s consciousness. Like, someone will meet you and a week later be in an existential crisis just from how your energy reflected back all the places they’re asleep in their own life. You don’t even need to say much, your presence alone forces people to confront their emotional blind spots. It’s that deep.
Let’s talk about how this jealousy actually shows up in behavior, because oh honey, it’s sneaky. Some people will love-bomb you at first. They’ll worship you, obsess over you, and tell you that you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to them. But as soon as they realize they can’t match your depth or keep up with your light? Boom. They either ghost you, emotionally shut down, or try to project their pain onto you. Some may even subtly compete with you emotionally, like copying your vibe but making it weirdly performative. Others might act overly critical of your emotions like “you’re too sensitive” or “too idealistic” but deep down? They wish they could feel as deeply and freely as you. I’m picking up on exes, old crushes, emotionally unavailable people, and even spiritually bypassing fake-deep people. They once had access to your love, your softness, your radiance, and now they’re haunted by the fact that they fumbled you. Also, I feel like some parents or authority figures might’ve been emotionally intimidated by how “different” you were growing up. Maybe you felt misunderstood for being so dreamy or sensitive. But look at you now turning your heart into a damn superpower.
Do not water down your light or dim your joy to make others comfortable. The Sun says your happiness is holy. You’re meant to shine, radiate, and live in color, even if that makes other people squint. And Judgement is reminding you: keep rising. Every time you outgrow your old self, people will fall off, and that’s okay. They were never meant to go where you’re headed. Your emotional depth isn’t a weakness. it’s what makes you a fckin force of nature. Keep protecting your peace, pouring love into people who deserve it, and curating a life that feels like poetry. The right ones will meet you there. You’re not just powerful because of your light, you’re powerful because you chose your light after walking through hell. And people will always be a little salty about that.
So go ahead and keep shining, crybaby angel warrior 😭💛 You’ve earned every drop of your joy.

🌸Elysian 🌸What aspects show soothing, healing vibes from the natal chart?
My love, I absolutely love this ask!🌹🤎
Healing vibes in the chart
🟫When it comes to vibes in a person we have to check mainly two specific points, these being the Rising and Midheaven. Let us remember that the Rising tells us about the way in which we consciously project ourselves into the world, the impressions we give and want to give. While the Midheaven tells us about the first impression we leave on other people. Moon, Chiron and Neptune are points to take a look at in this topic.
🟤The one who seems to be a protector fallen from the sky receives the label of Cancer Rising, an understanding and loving person with those whom he esteems the most, they are people who stand out for their sweet and comforting vibes. That sweet way they have of caring for those they love the most and the healing and comforting quality of something as simple as their touch, their hugs are the sweetest and take you back to that feeling of being at home, at home most comfortable and safe in which you have ever been. In addition to understanding your problems and doing something to make you feel better, they give you stability.
🟤Being with someone that has a Cancer Midheaven seems to be taken to heaven itself, they treat the people around them with love and kindness and everyone seems to feel really safe when this person enters the scene. They are the stranger who smiles back from the other side of the sidewalk, or if you drop something in the supermarket they will pick it up and give it to you personally. Their appearance is soothing and once you take the time to live with them you will realize that it goes beyond an impression, it is but the core of that being with bright and angelic eyes.
🟤There is something mystical and peaceful in natives with a Pisces Rising, they seem to treat people with grace and delicacy, but don't let their sensitive appearance make you forget their enormous emotional intelligence, the one that allows them to read and get to the bottom of the emotional world. of anyone no matter how complex it is. They are naturally empathetic and sensitive people towards other people and have a divine touch in their vibes that make people feel very drawn to them, because the levels of comfort they give you are incredible. They actively seek to help those they love, especially in those difficult times.
🟤Moon in the 1st house are people who seem to have a great knowledge and understanding of emotions, not only their own, but also those of other people. They are not as overly emotional as they are painted, but they do take into account the emotional side, without repressing it or denigrating it for "being able to appear weak". The strength of these natives lies in the vision and correct use of their own emotions, which allows them to connect in unique ways with their environment and be seen as people with whom a person can open up and feel better.
🟤Those natives with the Moon in the 10th house tend to easily evoke the sympathy and affection of other people, as they give the impression of being delicate, loving and very considerate of other people. Reserved and cautious in nature, but attentive and understanding with other people, they can have a healing quality in public. It should not surprise us to see in these natives people whom strangers approach to chat or with whom they even share their problems, there is something very charming and pleasant in their aura.
🟤Neptune in the 1st house. These people project themselves as understanding, they never want to hurt, harm or offend the people around them, on the contrary, they want to be of help and connect on a deep level. Many people see them as fascinating and not only because of their looks, but because of the way they make others feel, who are delighted with the delicate and empathic nature of these people.
🟤The presence of Neptune in the 10th house makes the native a bit idealized, because feeling so comfortable seems to be too good to be true, it feels like being in a warm dream in which you feel safe and very fascinated. These people have a natural disposition to help and heal other people, with this placement he would be showing us that it is very likely that they will do so. They advise and help regardless of whether they know you or not, they will give you warmth and be polite.
🟤Chiron in the 1st house/aspecting the Rising. Their aura is simply sublime and warm, they will not judge you for who you are, they will not challenge you in any way or make you feel like you have to prove yourself to anyone or them, they will accept you as you are and even help you to love yourself more and more. These natives show themselves as people who know perfectly how your pain is, and even knowing it from their own experience, they give you color, joy and seem to heal you with just a few words.
🟤Chiron in the 10th house/aspecting the Midheaven. They give the impression of being very strong people who have gone through a lot in life, of being people who despite this always seek to help others who share their experiences and pain. They show themselves as empathetic and wise people, people who have a unique talent to make people feel better in a matter of minutes, from being a stable support and being more than a person who only listens to you, they become a person who understands your pain like no one and helps you get out of it with patience and dedication.
🟤Capricorn Risings. We all have this strong image of a Rising Capricorn, someone who is much more reserved and not as euphoric with their concern for someone, but these natives happen to have a Cancer in the 7th house. What happens with them is that they are perceived by the people around them as very attentive and considerate people with some details about them. They have a unique way of treating the emotions of those they love, they can be very comforting for others, as they will respect boundaries and take the time to understand why you feel that way. They can be very delicate people with the heart and feelings of those they consider important to them. Many people, in addition to having the impression that they are somewhat healing, also think that it is safe to open up with them, since they also give off a vibe of being very stable and having everything in order.
🟤Something similar happens with those with a Virgo Rising, who do not see themselves as "too invested in other's issues", but the reality is that they do seek to be of help and support you unconditionally once you enter their heart. They are people who give the impression of being very understanding with the pain of others, very prudent with their comments and with a great heart, because they have that willingness to support and support whoever needs it. They are very patient with those who have a moment of crisis, they have a unique way of calming people down and making them feel comfortable. Although these vibes are not immediately visible, as they seem a bit intimidating to some, these natives are seen in this way by others who know them a little more than the rest. They can become very concerned about those they love and the problems of their beings are something that they will take the time to help them solve, all this not only because of the devoted nature of Virgo, but because of the natural healing quality of Pisces in the 7th house. [This applies to Neptune in the 7th house too].
🟤Chiron in the 7th house. Here we have a person who does not see themselves in this way, but others perceive them as a healing person always with wise advice to give. It is not surprising that these natives are the advisors of their group of friends, family or acquaintances. They are people who relax you in a simple way, because their vibes are light and reliable, being able to easily win the sympathy of others. They seem to understand perfectly what you are going through, they make you feel that you need a few words to be understood, and on many occasions they seem to say what is necessary to open your eyes and/or make you feel better.
🟤Ceres in the 1st or 10th house. This dwarf planet in one of these houses tells us about a person with a caring nature who is very easily perceived in that way by other people. Being the 1st and 10th angles in the chart, people perceive them as very attentive to the needs of the other, they may perceive them as very reliable and sweet people, and some may even be seen as "the mom friend" or the adviser in the group. They bring a lot of comfort to others because of their accepting and giving nature.
🟫The healing axis has always been Virgo/Pisces and 6th/12th house. So having placements in these signs or houses makes the person naturally be seen this way.
🟤Virgo Placements. Their calm, patient, and logical nature is what garners the attention of those in search of the most loyal and devoted confidant of all, a label of which these natives are the epitome. These people have something about them that brings not only comfort, but joy to those around them. They have a simple, beautiful and very remarkable way to fade the pain away, their look is soothing and not judgmental, especially if you have a space in their glowing heart. They are not very open with this nature of theirs, and leave it only for some, but their vibes are not bad at all.
🟤Pisces Placements. Beyond their sweetness and constant displays of affection, these placements have the quality of softening the bad experience, they show you with words and actions that they are there. They empathize with your pain, and in some cases it can become their own. They help you get ahead and with their support, friendship and emotions they help you get out of the most confusing emotional or mental labyrinth.
🟤Some astrologers mention that Mercury in Virgo is both in domicile and in exaltation [in fact you can even see it on astro.com] and this placement of Virgo is one of the main ones that can show this. These natives seem to give you solutions very quickly, they know how to listen carefully and give you both attention and comforting words, since they give advice from experience and listen both with the mind and with the heart. Their way of speaking has calming qualities and many people may think that it is optimal and a good decision to open up with them, as they really give their time and attention to the person.
🟤Similarly, Pisces Venus usually has this quality well developed. Their way of approaching others is warm and very attentive, they gain trust easily [even if they don't mean it], as they are compassionate and empathic. Something that is also necessary to mention is that there is something in them that is healing for those who are interested in them, for their partners or people with whom they open their hearts. Their love is a soft blanket that gives you warmth every time the coldness of the world hits you.
🟤Sun in the 6th house or in the 12th house. Being houses with the theme of serving, healing and helping, the presence of Sun in both causes the natives to actively seek to do this with other people. They can stand out or gain fame for being very giving people, altruistic and very understanding with other people. These natives do not judge in any way for the differences they may have with someone, even if they see that the other person sees something as a problem that they do not, they will show empathy and understand their point of view, without judging or belittling their pain. Their aura is very comforting, regardless of whether they consider themselves to be very active or restless people.
🟤Moon in the 6th house. The sensitivity of these natives as well as the enormous respect they have for the idea of caring for, seeking and understanding the emotions of the rest are remarkable things about them. They do not seek to compare their pain, they seek to relieve it in less direct ways, rather by doing little things for you that give you comfort and make life happy. They are considerate and detailed with people, as well as very careful with the way they treat the emotions of others, although they do not like to seem vulnerable or too emotional in any way, they will know how to love in a unique way and show interest in others. objective and constant forms. They give you a sense of peace that you would hardly find with other people and make you feel cared for and protected.
🟤People who have Moon in the 12th house have a very special and complex way of seeing emotions, although you see them relaxed on the outside and give you the impression of being very rational, they understand the emotional world of others on a complete level, perhaps much more than their own. These natives have something healing, they are born with it and can help many since they are young. People see them as people with honest and beautiful feelings, they give them the impression that they can be genuine and fully understood by them, because they will never judge them for feeling what they feel and rather help them understand their own emotions and sometimes reconcile with the same.
🟤Neptune in the 6th or 12th house. Here we have two cases of Neptune. The first and the most obvious since it is its house of domicile is its position in the 12th house. This position of Neptune makes the native have the hidden ability [on some occasions] to heal others, to help them and in general to heal wounds from the past. While its position in the 6th house makes help a habit for the native, they may seek to advise those in need and protect those who are weaker or in a more vulnerable state. However, the position of Neptune in any of these houses makes people who have them have an altruistic disposition towards people, which earns them the reputation of being very empathetic people who love to help make others feel good. Their healing vibes are easily spotted especially because of their relationship with animals, with whom they are gentle, caring, not to mention how comfy animals are with them.
🟤South Node in the 6th house. Remembering that the South Node tells us about everything that is easy for us or that we do without any problem, having it in the 6th house makes helping others, being selfless and not at all selfish something that we are very good at naturally. These natives can help and heal in a more practical way, such as making sure you are okay, talking to you and being there in a difficult time, advising you or being that firm shoulder to cry on. Their simple presence is something that many find endearingly comforting.
🟤South Node in the 12th house. Meanwhile, the position of the South Node in this house tells us of a much more spiritual and emotional comfort. These natives seem to have a subconscious way of understanding the problems of others and reading behind their superficial emotions, the way they listen to you, their heart to heart words are some of the things that make them earn their place on this list.
🟤Having the Ruler of the 12th in the 6th or vice versa. This seems to give people the gift to comfort, empathize easily and understand every nuance of pain behind a person. They unconsciously seek to help those close to them feel better, and outsiders can perceive that their intentions are good and genuine.
🟤Other placements that I have found to be incredibly comforting are the Cancer Placements, especially Moon and Mercury. These natives have a great understanding of emotions and know how to analyze them from the other person's point of view. They are people who seem to easily understand whoever is by their side, regardless of whether they are close or not. They can become very popular due to their polite, kind and tender nature.
🟤Something that may come as a surprise to many is to see Scorpio on this list, but yes, as you read it, they are very healing people. Perhaps their imposing presence, reserve nature and the way some people talk about them overshadows this, but many of them have that healing and transforming quality in the lives of others, let’s remember that at the end of the day Scorpio is a water sign, an element par excellence linked to healing. Same goes to its ruler, Pluto.
🟤When Pluto is in water houses [4th, 8th or 12th houses] it not only gives you an intense and complex emotional world, but it gives you the courage to delve into the deepest emotions, the most painful wounds and bring out that powerful potential healer. You have faced your own demons, having to spend a long time exploring those feelings that can be "a lot" for many, there is nothing that scares you, you understand how much a person can face and you know on your own that they can get ahead. Pluto in one of these houses makes you experience a Chiron effect in some way, managing to see the bright and positive in someone's darkness and pushing them out of that dark place that you have passed through many times. Many people appreciate this gesture of these natives and find them comforting and a safe place in some way, because they did not back up and decided to support them in difficult times.
🟫Honorable mention to: Moon in the 11th house. Chiron-MC ruler conjunction/trine. Pisces Mercury. Chiron-Sun conjunction/trine. South Node in Scorpio or Cancer. Chiron in the 11th house. Pallas in the 4th house or in Cancer. Ceres in the 11th house. Ceres in Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio or Pisces.

⊹₊⟡⋆ Allow me to dissect every fiber of your being solely based on the day you entered the world. Before that, let me introduce you to the art of Numerology, a concept as old as time…quite literally, for it depends on dates and time for its functioning. I never understood why it works, since it uses time and the calendar- human-made things…but I suppose somewhere, between the layers of inventions of mortals and god’s will, lies a crack, this sacred concept rests there…
Everyone has a numerology number which they calculate with their birthdates.
It is abysmally easy, hence my expertise in it ୨ৎ
╰┈➤You add the digits of the day you were born and ta-da, you have your numerology number ♡
For instance, my best friend, Rini, was born on 24 (yes the month and the year does not matter)
So, to know her numerology number, I will add 2 and 4, 2+4= 6
Her number is 6.
My other friend was born on 9, we will add 0 to 9 and get 9, his number is 9
Now, I was born on 28, so, we add 2+8 and get 10, but we must get a one-digit number so we add 1 to 0 and get 1, my numerology number is 1.
Easy peasy ⋆✴︎˚。⋆
Now comes, the shimmering, brilliant question:
The numbers tell you the planet you’re ruled by, thereby showing light to your behaviour, your life, your soul and the likes...

★ Omg, yes, Jupiter, my brother, and my dad are number 3. Guess what? Both of them are cunning and yet, wise. If you have someone in your life with the number 3, you must listen to their advice at all times. And if you are a number 3, hi there, the shining light and source of wisdom and cleverness. Jupiter is, in Hindi, called ‘The Guru’, meaning, the teacher. You literally represent the glorious higher knowledge, expansion, growth, and advisor. You are also humorous and fun-seeking, you are social, loving and jolly…But you might get unfocused sometimes because you like to do everything at once. Apart from that, you grow and you learn, you teach and you move on. You know what to do and when to do it, you are who people look up to before making a decision. Your footsteps are traced by many, they know whatever step you will take is in the right direction…
˚ ✦ . . ˚ . . ✦ ˚ . ★⋆. . ˚ * ✦ . . ✦ ˚
★ Number 4, You are ruled by Rahu, which is a shadow planet, not visible to the eyes but can be associated with Uranus. In the Hindu mythology, there is a story about a demon called Rahuketu whose head was cut from its body, by a god. Rahu, being the head and Ketu being the tail. Rahu is the head, the brains, the dependable. You might not be physically very apt but the cogs in your brain turn faster than the speed of light. You are an academic weapon, a force to be reckoned with. You are loyal, disciplined, and hard-working, however, you might overwork yourself sometimes and get stubborn with your ways. Anyways, you are cunning, you know what you want, you are pragmatic and you are well, someone to fear.
˚ ✦ . . ˚ . . ✦ ˚ . ★⋆. . ˚ * ✦ . . ✦ ˚
★ Ruled by Mercury, the planet of intelligence and intellect. You are very social and good luck follows you like a puppy wherever you go, you are sharp-minded and intuitive, and you see through people as easily as you breathe. You embrace change and adventure. You are a social butterfly and make friends with a snap of your finger, you too, like number 4 are an academic weapon. Mercury governs versatility and quick thinking, which are key traits of the number 5. But you can find it difficult to commit to someone. You are also impulsive and can lack focus at times. But you are always quick to find your footing back. You see clearly and you act with a plan forged into the back of your brain.
˚ ✦ . . ˚ . . ✦ ˚ . ★⋆. . ˚ * ✦ . . ✦ ˚
★ The planet Venus rules number 6, which is the planet of love, beauty, and harmony. This influences you to be compassionate, affectionate, and drawn to beauty and art. You have an innate sense of aesthetics and a deep appreciation for the pleasures of life, whether through relationships or artistic pursuits. You are draped in laces, silks, and the likes, you make even the ugliest piece of clothing into a piece of art. You are the aesthetics of a Sofia Coppola movie in the flesh. You are also very homely, you want to have a family and you love and adore kids. You are a born caregiver, you wrap the people you love in a warm blanket and hand them hot tea. It is not a burden and you love it, you love the feeling, the proud fuzzing feeling in your heart after you had just helped someone. You are usually the friendliest but once you have been angered, it becomes next to impossible to win you back. You are a great friend to have. Anyone who you love is blessed. I can tell you so because my bestie is a number 6 hehe <3

★ Oh goodness…yes well number 7, ruled by Ketu, the lower part of Rahuketu. Another shadow planet but is sometimes, though wrongly associated with Neptune You are physically very apt, you have a good body and you’re great at sports. You see what no one else does but sometimes you do get lost in your little own abyss of thoughts. You also have a very romantic notion of love, something only seen in movies and books. You tend to do stuff without thinking twice. You are though, very spiritual and people feel a sense of calm washing over them after talking to you. You can be VERY mean when you want to (experienced it first hand, hence the omg in the beginning) though most of the time you’re a lil cutie, clueless and enjoying life like a party with the best booze and songs.
˚ ✦ . . ˚ . . ✦ ˚ . ★⋆. . ˚ * ✦ . . ✦ ˚
★ Number 8, ruled by Saturn, covered in rings of eternal karma and longing…Being number 8, you are infinite, in every sense, your love is infinite but so is your yearning and pain. You have to work thrice as hard as everyone else to climb the same mountain. You are bound by the clutches of karma, to elaborate, if you wrong someone, it will come back instantly and with a 100 x force, hitting you square in the jaw, so beware about that. The perks though, of karma being your forever roommate is that no one can be a bitch to you and get away with it. Also, you will reach success and a load amount of it but later in comparison to others around you. You are calming and fun to talk to, you are spiritual with a penchant for exploring the unknown. My advice? enjoy life and lessen the mulling over every little aspect of it.
˚ ✦ . . ˚ . . ✦ ˚ . ★⋆. . ˚ * ✦ . . ✦ ˚
★ Number 9, ruled by Mars, problems, sorrow, yearning, beauty, and sweetness all mixed in a bittersweet pie…You have had a tough childhood, haven’t you? Yet you come out of all of it, the sweetest, the kindest, and with a gold-polished heart. You exude a tough exterior because you do not want to be hurt again but in the depths of your hearts you would NEVER wish bad on anyone. You’re just amazing like that. You make everyone feel at home but somehow always feel away from home. You are emotional and sensitive, even a tiny jab creeps into your heart, building a home for a train of thoughts that goes nowhere. But, despite it all, your soul is pure, your hardships do not define you, you are a being of love and greatness, you are spiritual and made for bigger things in the world. You are meant to touch the clouds and fly high above everyone else because you know it all…you have seen it all…
Lemme Make You Shift / Enter the Void
You know what’s really holding most people back from shifting or entering the void? It’s not some big block or missing affirmation. It’s the constant cycle of feeling stuck, pitying yourself, and then doing absolutely nothing to change it. And I get it....life gets overwhelming, things feel unfair, and you start believing the narrative that you’re just not “meant” for this. But take a step back for a second and really ask yourself: What am I doing every day to get closer to what I want? Be honest. Most people aren't actually doing anything. They're scrolling through posts hoping for a magical word or technique to save them. They romanticize the idea of shifting or the void, but when it comes to actually showing up for themselves...mentally, emotionally...they're not really there. Instead, they stay in the loop: I can't do this, Why does it work for others and not me?", "Maybe I’m not chosen." But guess what? You are. You already are. You just keep choosing the same thoughts, the same victimhood, and calling it reality. Oh please stop saying now "b-b-u-t I-I-I can't-t-t do-o-o th-i-i-i-s-s" sir/ma'am you can do everything... do you ever sit and think that you're the only one who can help you and what are you doing currently with your life...it's your decision if you want to change your life or not. Now many will say, "BUTTT SAYYYINGG THATTT ISSSS EASYYY FORRRR YOUUU" so lemme tell you, I was a person with High Anxiety and sometimes it was pretty difficult to control thing, but you're on your own kid! You have to manage it, and if it's still not manageable, pls seek professional help.
This isn’t to shame you...it’s to wake you up. You don’t need a new method. You need a new mindset. A decision. A real one. Decide that this is yours. That you’re done living from the place of it’s not working. That you’re done making excuses and waiting for something outside of you to change. Sit with yourself. Observe your patterns. Are you keeping yourself in the same loop because it's comfortable? Are you afraid of what happens when you do get everything you've been asking for? You don’t have to stay there. You’re not behind. You’re not broken. But you are responsible...for what you feed your mind, for what you expect, for how long you keep yourself in that cycle.
Let’s stop sleeping on ourselves!
note: italy in this reality is full of bigots. so, it's like a romanticised version .... so script out those things if you want the movie-like experience. and no global warming…. i’ll make a list at the end.
italy is a peninsula, except for sardinia and sicily. so, your experience will be different depending on which part you are. you are not only italian, but you are also your region... the most important thing, dare i say? south and north despise each other, while the centre is chilling because no one ever remembers them (which is hilarious, because the capital is there). this is going to be very detailed.
act i, location. where do you live?
NORTH-WEST ...
valle d'aosta. smallest region of italy, where you are living the heidi lifestyle. you are near some of the highest mountains ever: monte bianco, cervino, monte rosa, gran paradiso. so, pretty cold. you have christmas full of snow, and while driving you will probably meet some goats and their shepherd. they always have something profound to say. if you like hiking, it's perfect for you. imagine drinking hot chocolate while the old people of your small town talk about their experiences of when they were young.
liguria. near the sea; the tarquoise waters are the wet dream of the fishermen. you are still surrounded by cliffs and your small towns are an ode to love. this vibe is mainly created by the sunsets and the wine, which you are probably drinking because they don't really care about your age. drinking some kind of alcohol while snacking (sometimes smoking) and laughing with your friends is culture.
lombardia. perfect for pretentious people... just kidding. if you are a fan of big cities, there's milan. city of fashion, chic, and aspiring famous people. everyone is in rush, the trains are never on time, taxis stop every three seconds. everyone has shopping bags in the hands and the bars are always full of people. if you like something more romantic, lakes como and garda are perfect. with the alpine breeze, eating risotto ... paradise on earth.
piemonte. castles everywhere. and wine (are you noticing a pattern here?). turin is full of story and art, and everything looks like a medieval revival. an ice cream shop can be in a 600 years old home, and your school definitely has the name of some historical figure who changed history in some way. the baroque streets are full of people yapping to their friends or family, and you will feel like an noble if you dress up.
NORTH-EST ...
trentino-alto adige. the fresh mountain air, crystal clear lakes, alpine villages. guardian of a remarkable cultural heritage of confluence between latin and nordic worlds. also unique wines (are we alcoholics?) are shaped by the alpine landscape, tended to by experienced wine-growers, and prized throughout the world.
veneto. the canals of venice are the definition of romance. gondolas gliding under ancient bridges, region of romeo and juliet. full of secret alleys who lead god-knows-where. the carnival is known world-wide and probably the best thing that ever happened to mankind... after wine. (did i mention that people here love alcohol?)
friuli-venezia giulia. beautiful sandy and pebble beaches where you can read a book. cultural excursions (schools always go there for excursions) historic towns, castles, fine wines and cuisine, unspoiled nature. very underrated and often forgotten by everyone in italy (or is it just me...?) but a GEM.
emilia-romagna. prosciutto. pasta. what a dream. the medieval towers rise as beautiful as they once were, the scent of the typical italian food hangs in the air like an invitation. its nickname is indeed the food valley of europe. ancient shops, and the art??? ugh!!!! it's also the home of the communists.... if you are interested;)
CENTRE...
toscana. endless vineyards, rustic farmhouses, hills where you can sit and watch the sunrise. art is everywhere. you BREATHE art. florence is literally the city of architecture. having long conversations under cypress trees. lies along the tyrrhenian and ligurian seas. what do you want more (the wine is probably the best one you'll ever have the pleasure to taste).
umbria. the green heart of italy. located right in the centre of the state. rich in art, history and culture, this region is also famous for its wine and olive oil tradition.... because yes wine is everywhere. also the porchetta. what a pleasure is to eat something as tasty as the porchetta from umbria.
marche. no one seems to remember them. but, it's a gem. reinassance towns and streets, and the adriatic coastline right next to them. the countryside is full of olive groves. the resteraunts?? a blessing. olive all'ascolana ... i dream about them every night.
lazio. rome, the eternal city, is here. and this says everything. stories have been written for millennia. filled with passion, art, and culture. and food. the food is so good.
SOUTH...
abruzzo. from the apennine mountains, to ancient villages, people eating porchetta, to unspoiled beaches. well known for its landscapes and natural environment, parks and nature reserves, characteristic hillside areas rich in vineyards and olive groves.
molise. the long-running joke is that it doesn't actually exist. everyone always forgets about them. quiet, small towns, nature.
campania. dear amalfi coast, you are heaven. pastel houses will catch your breath, alongside the food....... dear lord. naples is full of people who do the most weird thing, but isn't that just so beautiful?? sun-drenched shores, and the remains of the historical event of the vulcano vesuvio.
puglia. the heel of italy's boot. golden beaches and crystal-clear waters, intense flavours and fascinating destinations: castel del monte, the trulli, the islands passing through towns kissed by a unique and unforgettable light.
calabria. the toe of the italian boot. the sea, the riace bronzes, reggio calabria and capo vaticano, a captivating mix of history and beauty. warning; the beaches??? spectacular.
basilicata. a land made special by its small silent villages rich in history, its many unspoilt places and enchanting beaches. a unique variety of landscapes including expanses of land, national parks, forests and beautiful lunar-looking landscapes and then the legendary sassi di matera.
ISLANDS...
sicilia. landmarks like the valley of temples and mount etna, its heavenly sandy beaches, delicious wine, and.... mafia origins, so script that out. beside that, it's pure adventure-land. from ancient temples when it was dominated by the greeks, to wines.
sardegna. known the world over for its emerald sea and white beaches, even though the heart of its territory is predominantly mountainous. a land of contrasts, superb nature and millenary traditions.
act ii, education. where do you study?
you will be assigned a section (a, b, c...) and have a class of usually 20 / 24 students. different levels = different schools, so everytime you finish a level you will go to another school, different section, different teachers, different classmates. teachers go in between classes, you only stay in one. usually they let you decorate it. if you fail the year you have to repeat it, saying goodbye to your class and having lessons with the ones younger than you.
level i , primary school: from age 6 to 11.
level ii , secondary school: a.k.a middle school. from age 11 to 14. after the three years you have to make a school leaving exam to see if you can proceed.
level iii , upper secondary school: high school. from age 14 to 19. now this is different from anything else. at the end of middle school you have to choose what kind of school you want to take based on career goals and interests. ( note : all of them have the main important subjects like math and history and italian etc etc, but each focus is different + some of them have different 'main' subjects based on the school. so, this means that the subjects of focus of the school will take more hours than others. you will have to take 10 / 13 classes)
1. liceo ( academic-focused ). they are more theoretical and you will need to proceed to higher education. people say they are the difficult ones....... i kinda lost my mind so i have to agree.
liceo linguistico. foreign languages. you will at least have to take three languages ( italian is not one of them ) and study them in depth.
liceo delle scienze umane. psychology, sociology, pedagogy, and humanities. and philosophy from year three. this was mine!!!!
liceo classico. latin, ancient greek, philosophy, humanities.
liceo artistico. visual arts, architecture, design, artistic techniques.
liceo scientifico. mathematics, physics, science + latin and philosophy.
2. istituti tecnici. provides both general education and technical professions.
tecnologico. mechanism, economics, IT, construction, chemistry, and environmental studies.
economico. business administration, finance, marketing, tourism.
3. istituti professionali. more job-oriented.
hospitality and tourism.
fashion and design.
agriculture.
mathematics and electronics.
health and social services.
school starts on september 15 and ends in early june..... schools day are from monday to satuday ( 8:30 am, at 10:00 am you have 15 minutes to eat your snack, school ends at 1:30 pm ).
GRADING. is based on a scale between zero and ten, with six being the pass..... and yes, they can actually give zero. trust me. (sigh). you have to take regular school exams throughout the year. basically, and for EACH SUBJECT, with each exams you have a number and at the end of the year they sum your number and divide it with how many numbers they gave you. like.... you got a 5 + 8 + 7 + 6? it's 26. there are four numbers so 26:4, and you have 6.5. congrats you passed !!
- oral exams: teacher call students to answer questions about recent lessons. sounds like hell because it is. if the teacher is nice you can see with your classmates which one goes in which lesson so you are prepared. it can be any subject.
- written exams: scheduled. it can be any subject. for italian you have to make essays, usually. latin exams are HELL ON EARTH.
i used to take four exams weekly, so don't script that. please. script that teachers care about you. your mental health will suck because those little shits are awful. the stress is insane. because.... dare i say it...... you don't have to check a box. that's why i envy americans. no, we have to give full answers. you read the question, see the blank space, and if you don't know it you're fucked. and if they don't like it they will mark it as mistake (i am looking at you, ex psychology teacher. I hate you). you have to learn everything word for word like the textbook. but twist the words because "you sound like a parrot"
the core subjects everyone has to take: italian literature, math, history and geography, english, science (biology, chemistry, physics), physical education, religion (optional). as i said, each school will have different core subjects.
THE FINAL EXAM: a.k.a maturità. at the end of the fifth year of high school, you have to take the national diploma. they take place in june (i know. it's torture. the beach is there but you have to study) and they end the first two weeks of july.
first written exam. an italian essay on literature, history, or society.
second written exam. a subject-specific test based on the type of school (e.g., latin/greek for liceo classico).
oral exam. students discuss their final-year project (tesina) and answer questions on different subjects. you have to make this project connect to every subject, everything correlated to each other. teachers can ask everything they want. (this is the same 4middle school).
note: if you fail your fifth year you can't do the final exams and you have to repeat the year. if you fail one or two subjects you have to take summer school, and at the end of summer take an exam to see if you're ready. you fail the exam? you have to repeat the year. if you failed three subjects you OR take summer school (depends on the teacher and depends on your final vote) or you just repeat the year without summer school.
SCHOOL TRIPS.
usually organized once or twice a year. they can range from one-day excursions to multi-day trips in italy or abroad. teachers are the one accompanying the students.
day trips. visits to museums, historical sites, theaters, nature reserves, same city or region.
multi-day trips. last 2-5 days and are often to major italian cities (rome, florence, venice) or european destinations (paris, berlin, barcelona).
from the third high school year, some school offer study trips to the UK, france, or spain. then there’s erasmus, usually in america.
SCHOOL TRADITIONS.
you’d be lucky to see students in class in june. everyone is a little bit more chill…. so the teachers aren’t really mad at you skipping school (only if you have too many absences. in fact, students try to not be absent many times during the year to skip days in june). it’s too hot to be in class, so they will probably make lessons outside. some classes can organise trips to the beach (only if they are near).
the last day of school, maturity (fifth year) students wear white shirts that classmates sign with markers.
100 giorni. this is 100 days before the final exams. many go on a trip or do something "lucky," like visiting a church or making a wish, or just have parties. in school you are going to wear something fancy and usually drink champagne with your teacher (the majority of students are already 18).
some schools have fake strikes where students "protest" just to skip class…… but high schoolers often participate in protests about politics, school reforms, or climate change. at least they say so, they usually just go to the bar. if there's a national student protest, many use it as an excuse to skip school. yes, we like to skips school.
student assemblies. twice a year, students can attend a general assembly instead of class. some schools use this time for serious debates, while others turn it into an excuse to relax. for example, we used to go to the cinema LOL.
class assemblies. when it’s really necessary, students have the right to ask for a teacher their hours to talk about important issues with the class, and then the head of the class will refer the teachers.
school festival day. some schools have an annual festival with sports tournaments, talent shows, and music.
on christmas you can have a little tree in the class!
la notte prima degli esami (night before exams). inspired by the song, many maturandi (fifth year student) stay up late, listening to music, and stressing out together. someone will probably start sobbing. some gather in a park or square to talk about their fears and share good luck rituals.
things about italian school:
you can’t choose your subjects, just the high school (except religion, you can choose to not take that. you’ll spend the time in the hallway chilling).
lockers are not a thing, so you have to carry everything in your bag. also, you have to buy textbooks….. and that’s why you are going to spend 400/500 every year for that. it’s tragic. i know.
you will have a relationship with your teachers; not in the weird sense…. but from the strict one to sweet one, you will spend so much time together that it’s kind of inevitable. you will see them more than you’ll see your parents, basically.
lunch break is not a thing, you eat at home.
classmates…… you spend basically all day with them. so, they are like your siblings; you hate or love them, you still have to spend time with them. don’t date a classmate. trust me… it’s going to be awkward.
uniform? what’s that?? but teachers are going to be pissed if you reveal your shoulders. AND for girls (🙄) you can’t wear shorts, skirts, and anything different than sneakers. nothing ‘revealing’ basically.
act iii, social life. ( script that. )
script that the homework won’t consume your life, because we want to live the life. so, where do you hangout?
bars & café. in italy bars aren’t for alcohol. it’s usually for coffee (that’s why you’ll always see grandmas and grandpas hanging out there) and eating something. if you are outside you can smoke (smoking and italy go hand in hand) and no matter your age, no one will tell you anything. i saw way too many 12-years-old smoking there. also, there’s alcohol from afternoons. so it’s the usual ‘ape in centro’ that means aperitivo (drinking spritz, usually) in the town square, where the bars are. usually with your group of friends, they give you alcohol and free snacks. you can stay there for hours and they aren’t going to tell you anything, sometimes playing with cards (or reading tarots if you are cool) and talking shit about people you hate.
piazza (town square). typical hangout spot. near you there’s probably going to be a park or gelato shop…. and if you are with your friends you are going to eat and drink. it’s culture.
discos. it usually starts when you are 14 / 15, and it’s reserved for the saturday nights. the alternative can be house parties.
friendship. that’s the main kind of relationship, the one your family will encourage you to have. kids, adults, teenagers. old people spend time with their friends in bars and gossiping with each other. this is the kind of relationship the media will enforce on you. it’s honestly one of the most important thing for social life.
hookup culture. sigh. what do you think happens in discos?
families. usually very close. people stay with their parents in their 20s. your nonna will make you the best thing you have ever eaten in the sunday lunches.
driving. public transportation is everything. you don’t usually have a car before 18, but at 14 you can drive a small scooter (motorino), and at 16 a micro car (but the majority of people find that cringe).
unwritten general life rules that will save your life.
don’t ever, EVER, call a teacher by their first name. not even surname. it’s prof, or professore / professoressa.
teachers can call on you randomly, so even if you didn’t study, pretend you’re flipping through your notes like you were prepared. don’t make eye contact, but seem secure of yourself.
if you ask for homework, you just jumped on your own grave. if the teacher forgets to assign homework, stay silent. shhhhhhhhhhhhh.
sciopero ( strike ) is skip day. if you still decide to go to school your classmates will make fun of you behind your back.
school trip is a mini vacation. don’t take it very seriously. teachers know students care more about fun than museums. there’s always a mix of sightseeing, partying, and barely sleeping. for example, me and my classmates met in one’s room and we started playing charlie-charlie. the fake ouja we did started moving and the teachers heard us screaming, but they just closed an eye (or hear…). also, if you are in high school you can smoke if it’s the correct place. they don’t really care and won’t tell your parents.
don’t snitch.
hanging out is not usually planned. you just walk around the town or sit at a café. completely normal. or even walking around in the shopping centre.
no coffee after 5pm, unless you’re an insomniac. iced coffee is not a thing….. and only tourists drink cappuccino after lunch.
dress well. only roadmen wear nike tracksuits, and for the love of god don’t wear pyjamas if you are not in your house.
always greet everyone when you arrive. a small gathering, or even a family lunch, say hello to each person with a handshake (formal) or a cheek kiss. if you don’t, you have ‘a broom up your ass’
don’t break the pasta. why are you wasting food? about food: i won’t explain every single thing people outside of italy do wrong. ketchup on pasta???????? girl. ananas on pizza? fuck off.
don’t get super drunk. it’s not cool. tipsy? hell yeah….. but drunk… no one wants to be that person.
if you’re at a house party, expect to stay out until morning.
clubs have a strict dress code—no sneakers, no sportswear, and guys need a collared shirt.
curfews depend on your parents, and how much you can negotiate. make sure you have a friend they trust…. if your friend is there, they’ll make you go. if its a small town, it’s not unusual to go out when it’s night.
your mom will call you 100 times if you don’t answer. good luck with that.
dinner is around 8pm.
we only use the “military clock” but we just call it clock. the day is 24 hours. we learn it in primary school.
we hate the french because they stole our monnalisa. but if someone outside of europe insults them we will defend the french.
they don’t usually marry young (at least, not lately). sex is not a taboo thing and teenagers are encouraged to find their boundaries; talked about them by their parents and sometimes even teachers.
italian culture.
food. it’s not just about eating, it’s about living. it’s the experience. it’s the tradition behind it. every meal is an event…. and if you are eating in company? that’s basically an ancient roman theatre come outside your history textbook. it’s like a romance novel. every bite is heavenly.
gestures. hands are basically part of your language. forget about just speaking…. gesturing is where the magic happens. its about the secrets. your friends know exactly what each of your gesture means. your hands never stay still — and yes, universal gestures exist. but the secret handshake? the way your fingers move to signal to your best friend that someone you don’t like is there? a quick flick of the chin can indicate everything from “whatever” to “you’re about to get a lecture.” and when you know the person, you know exactly which one is the correct answer.
fashion. it’s a lifestyle. the nonnas will rock a scarf like it’s haute couture. you might be walking down the street in your sneakers and jeans, but there’s a good chance someone will be casually strolling by in designer shoes. you’ll probably feel underdressed even if you're wearing the fanciest outfit you own. style is just... natural.
drama. passionate arguments that escalate quickly over something small. disagreements over who is the best football player are so intense, you’d think it was a national emergency. the gossips????? why do you think hangouts are for? no matter the age. the old ladies of the villages will ask you the latest news, or if you are dating someone. your mother will come in your room and tell you with a grin that your least favourite aunt is in a scandal. even the teachers will interrupt their lesson is something is juicy.
language. swearing it’s a second nature…. and every region has their dialect, which sounds like a whole new language. you’ll never catch someone from milan understanding what someone from naples is saying. some people they’re a shakespeare in the making, though. conversations can go from serious to funny in the blink of an eye, and don’t even try to keep up unless you’re fluent in rapid-fire speech and strategic pauses for dramatic effect. or someone blowing the smoke on your face.
things to script out: corrupted government, mafia, misogyny, homophobia, racism, bigitory in general, global warming, classism, poverty, school is not stressful, it’s easy to find jobs, no one makes fun of you for your interests and style. for any question, my ask are open!!

I found this. It's basically a huge list of how to write in a gothic horror-like style. It gives you words to use, and what types of adjectives to put down, and it explains them rather than just giving you a list too. I hope someone beyond myself finds this useful because holy shit am I going to use this tool

iii. backstory: how did you grew up? how did you start your career?
iv. how do you look: a faceclaim? description of your face? eyes, hair, maybe tattoos and piercings? height and weight.
