falling star, 1884 by witold pruszkowski
Daydreaming about alternative lives to escape my own has become a coping mechanism which I have internalised so much that it happens unconsciously throughout the day. I’ll be always daydreaming in the back of my head no matter what I do

Cancer Venus
“If it was you I would just love me, if it was you how would it be? If these crazy days became yours? If you break down as much as me, will you know? Do you know how I’m doing these days? I can’t even fall asleep, I can’t even swallow anything” Venus in Cancer are like clouds, when looking at it, brings you peace and calm, heaven makes you feel at home. No matter where you go, the clouds are there, this is the Venus in Cancer. The waves hit their bodies, they choose whether they want to dive or not, incredible as it may seem they are very cautious. They may have shown a lot of love, but that doesn’t mean they’ve already agreed to swim. They are kept in a shell, like a precious pearl, as something that no one is prepared to receive, and indeed, no one is. Don’t underestimate them, they know how far they can go for someone. They know how far they can extended themselves. And it is infinite. Ask them how many times you want, they will tell you, how important you are and how they want to protect you. And it is not something stifling, they want to protect you, take care, because it is their nature, they can not avoid, but all this still leaving room for independence, they just want stability between two people, just want to be heaven and a home to someone. Don’t fool yourself thinking they are completely traditional, mundane and bland. Cancer has a diversity, a spectrum of who they are. With Venus, it is a spectrum of how they can love. They accept people in the most natural way possible, because they know that existing love, nothing, absolutely nothing is a barrier. Differences become nothingness. Injured, yes they can retaliate, yes they can be manipulative, but you don’t know how they felt. They build something very big inside of them when they get involved with someone, like a fortress. Imagine this fortress being destroyed. And with the impeccable memory of a Cancerian, that emotion stays there forever. Sensitive and vulnerable are the two words that I connect with this placement. These two words these days may have negative connotations, but they are the two most difficult qualities to find in some people. Sometimes they need a lot in return, other times they don’t, sometimes they don’t even need a very fair love. They can feed someone for hours with love, and that fills them. But know, the moment you agree to love them, you need them, you need to make it clear and sure you will not abandon them in such a way, like that quote, some people never forget the way some left.

Eve’s entire plan this episode was really her relying on the fact Villanelle was too gay and too in love with her to kill her

Can we talk about just how sexist this show is? And how all the women are being done dirty while the men are the voice of reason? You have Cersei who already is an evil queen. Now, they want to turn Dany into a mad queen (and before any idiot tells me that “they’ve been hinting at Dany being mad and evil for along time”, stop. I know what they’ve been hinting. I wrote a Books vs Show meta explaining all of the ways they butchered Dany’s character with their sexist writing). And we also have Sansa, that D&D in the behind the scenes compared to Littlefinger. You guys know this shouldn’t be a flattering comparison, right? Littlefinger was a villain that started a war between the Starks and the Lannisters by sowing distrust between them because he wanted to use the chaos to gain power. And what is Sansa doing now? Telling a secret that Jon asked her not to tell even though she knows this could cause political conflict and possibly another war. And why? For power. Because she doesn’t like to bow to anyone and wants the Starks to be the only power in the North. They turned her into Littlefinger. And what was the point of all of this? Where is book Dany and book Sansa? So after worrying for years about being like her father, Dany is just like him? And instead of defying Littlefinger’s ideals, Sansa becomes just like him? And wow, we’re still having a catfight between Dany and Sansa (and Arya too)? And by the way, let’s not forget Brienne being left by Jaime after trusting him. And also, let’s not forget that they killed the only woman of color in the show, because they think she’s disposable and her story of overcoming abuse and slavery doesn’t matter, she’s just a plot device to drive another female character mad. It’s racism, sexism and ableism combined.
Now let’s look at how the men are portrayed. They are all the voice of reason. Jon opens the episode talking about how they need to put their differences aside. And then we have Varys and Tyrion trying to convince Mad Queen Dany not to kill poor innocent people. To make everything even more wonderful, we have Tyrion talking about how Jon could “temper Dany’s impulses” (because women are hysterical and can only be good rulers if they have men to “tame” them), and he pretty much says Jon is better because he has a cock. It’s even more insulting when we consider that Jon and Dany’s storylines have been paralleling each other. When you parallel two characters, you invite people to make comparisons between them. But it’s especially problematic when you parallel a man and a woman, only to tell everyone that the man is better.
It’s all so sexist (and racist and ableist too). I’ve been a show hater and book snob for a long time, but I still had some hope for the show. I don’t have any hope anymore. GOT is trash and anyone who thinks otherwise is wrong. Even if they try to fix this mess in the last episode, it won’t be enough to wipe away this shit.
Sandor: “You’ve changed Little Bird. … None of it would have happened if you have left King’s Landing with me. No Littlefinger, no Ramsay, none of it.” Sansa: “Without Littlefinger, Ramsay, or the rest, I would have stayed a Little Bird all my life.”
Things I Think The Writers Meant: Sansa saw how cruel and ruthless the world is first hand — she adapted, she survived, she adjusted her world-view; she became better than those men, outlived them, and caused their death directly or indirectly. Sansa’s no bird, she’s a wolf.
Things The Writers Ended Up Saying Too: Women need to undergo trauma to grow. They need to be psychologically, physically, and sexually abused in order to become Strong Characters™. Cause clearly a safe environment would not have yielded a smart, strong, mature woman. It is known.
