what kills a part of my heart everytime is that civilisation literally started and flourished in these places. these cities where once centres of knowledge and beauty and art and so, so much more. people would travel the globe to learn at the hands of the scholars and artisans and go on pilgrimages and live together as one.
but we are reduced to either terrorists, extremists, always at war with eachother. we are dehumanised, seen as savages and illiterate desert dwellers. shame on you all for your ignorance and the discrimination it breeds.
how dare you accept and allow such abhorrent crimes to be committed against your brothers and sisters in humanity? what has become of the sanctity of life? of divine and man made laws?
When you look at older media, you still see signs of how artificial and recent these "normal" conditions are.
Like in the 50s you'll find media that glowingly hold Beirut up as a fashion capital. Like "Paris, Milan, Beirut" as a turn of phrase for the fashion houses.
It's not the middle east, but a similar sort of normalization is "Mexican Drug War" perceptions, which makes the frequency of 70s shows referring to Acapulco De Juarez as a dreamy getaway people long for or a happy ending criminals looking to get away with murder on Columbo think they can cheat their way to.
Even when it happens internally, like the Iranian Revolution or the Dictatorship in Egypt, it doesn't happen in a vacuum. Foreign money and political aims push patterns which allow for exploitation.
The default human condition if there are no people in power trying to exploit others is just vibing. Kids go to school, people work to provide for their families, someone invents the hula hoop or pokemon or photography every once in a while. Just as true in Syria as in Ohio
⭐️ EREN: aries rising, taurus sun, aries moon, aries mercury, cancer venus, sagittarius mars — stubbornly passionate and assertive, especially so when it comes to the wellbeing of others and loved ones. has a habit of developing tunnel vision and speaking/acting without thinking. most likely has a lot of 9h and 11h influence. emotional to a fault, even in times it is not outwardly expressed.
⭐️ JEAN: sagittarius rising, aries sun, taurus moon, aries mercury, pisces venus, taurus mars — similar to eren (more 4th and 7th house vibes from jean though) yet different enough for them to butt heads. while jean is more rational, he can still come off strong— can also seem like a know-it-all. he might not realize hes a slight hopeless romantic. very protective of the ones he cares about.
⭐️ BERTHOLDT: virgo rising, capricorn sun, gemini moon, aquarius mercury, scorpio venus, virgo mars — strategy and secrecy comes easily to him. naturally quiet and reserved, probably speaks more in his head rather than out loud. doesn’t express emotion often, probably seen by others as awkward.
⭐️ REINER: taurus rising, taurus sun, scorpio moon, scorpio mercury, pisces venus, cancer mars — prefers to keep his vulnerable side to himself when around those he doesnt have much trust in. those that he does opt to confide in are like gold to him (but forcing it out of him only results in resentment). takes a while to truly warm up to people.
⭐️ CONNY: aries rising, aquarius sun, cancer moon, pisces mercury, sagittarius venus, sagittarius mars — easily motivated by things that are fun. keeps the atmosphere around him lighthearted if he can help it. comes off as dumb sometimes, possibly because he has a hard time putting his thoughts into words.
⭐️ SASHA: gemini rising, taurus sun, cancer moon, aries mercury, cancer venus, taurus mars — often driven by self indulgence. although not selfish per se; shes willing to share but expect to get the smaller of the two halves. yearns for comfort and dislikes change. can be loud and scatter-brained.
⭐️ ERWIN: capricorn rising, capricorn sun, libra moon, aquarius mercury, scorpio venus, capricorn mars — his collected exterior is seldom shaken. rarely affectionate and when he is it can be so subtle you might miss it. same with emotions, he tends to save them for things hes passionate about, but theyre more noticeable when they show compared to his low-key doting side. devoted to whatever task he may be faced with and always plans to see it through.
⭐️ LEVI: virgo rising, scorpio sun, taurus moon, scorpio mercury, virgo venus, cancer mars — cares more than he lets on. sometimes this slips out with or without him knowing in things that pertain to the health, safety, or wellbeing of those he cares about— and one doesnt have to be particularly close to him to be added to the list of people he watches over. keeps a level head when others cannot. endlessly trustworthy and loyal.
⭐️ MIKASA: scorpio rising, capricorn sun, cancer moon, sagittarius mercury, pisces venus, pisces mars — has given nearly her entire life to eren. adores him regardless of the decisions he makes or ways he presents himself, having put him on a pedestal and is too blinded by her infatuation to take him down. maintains her cool until it comes to him, then she can think recklessly and impulsively. aims to please and protect.
⭐️ ARMIN: gemini rising, virgo sun, pisces moon, leo mercury, scorpio venus, libra mars — sensitive to the thoughts and feelings of others, which more often than not gives him an advantage over them. uses this empathy to manipulate and bend their feelings to get the kind of reaction he wants— but only does so in the name of what he believes is right.
I'm so glad that people liked my last post! Here are what rising signs I think that the Konoha and Suna kids + Sasuke would have! I'm nervous about this one but I did my best owo
Rising signs represent your physical appearance, people's impressions of you, and how you act and react. It also serves as the ruler of your chart!
You need to know the exact time and location of birth for this so these are obviously all just my guesses. Don't take this too seriously and let me know what you think! <3
Also I apologize for the messy, long paragraphs D: I love writing but I need more practice :( Stick around for more shitty anime character astrology!
