I'm only leaving a little nuance in the poll options, if you have more to say put it in the tags or comments

[whatsupbomb]

Nate Jacobs based on natal chart of Jacob Elordi which shows the characters he play

Saturn Conjuction Vesta: people who protect him like his father are holy to him. He feels distance from them because they usually hide their real selves from everyone. His father lives a secret life because of Vesta since in mythology vestas have been hiding from men in their own palace to protect their virginity. Also, this aspect makes Nate know about his father's secret affairs. To the world Cal Jacobs seems to have a pure reputation much like a virgin who's never been touched

Mercury Conjuction Sun: he has lots of male friends and talks to them most of the times. He might be afraid to say something to girls because of his ego, for example, his real feelings towards them. Many people gossip about his sexual endeavours and might think he's gay because he almost never interracts with girls. He feels pressured by his father to say only what he wants, for example, when Cal Jacobs instructed him what to say to the police. His father is anxious that Nate might gossip something about his sexual life because Sun is about sex and Mercury is about communication

Sun on IC (4th house cusp): with time he grows to be a real man who respects women. He might be obsessed with rough sex and physical violence because of his aggressive father ruled by Sun. He hides it when somebody hurts him because he thinks that he deserves it. His whole family is very popular and discussed in the whole neighbourhood since Sun gives you recognition and fame. Because of Sun on IC his family is kinda rich. Sun gives him a pretty face with shiny skin, white teeth and thick hair. In public he might seem to be like a motionless sloth who says nothing because with Sun in the 4th house his energy (Sun) keeps hidden. Also, he might hide that he likes men ruled by Sun because we often don't want to accept that we don't differ from our relatives ruled by the 4th house. 4th house is traits passed over by our ancestors. With Sun in the 4th house he might be a lot like his dad ruled by Sun

North Node Conjuction asteroid "Lilith": he has romantic feelings towards his best friends. His dating style is chasing his object of desire until it's trapped by his charm. He knows that many people like him and uses it to get what he wants, especially, with romantic partners. In relationship he usually seeks understanding and empathy. He wants his partners to also be his friends who like to spend time with him. People who're in love with him get obsessed with this kinda mating season, they like to lure him into their charm with pretty clothes, nice perfume and shiny make-up. Girls literally fight for him. This aspect also tells me that he has romantic feelings towards his besties like McKay

Rx Pluto on 9th house cusp: his parents are never relaxed when it comes to upbringing Nate. They always wait for him to do something dumb, so, they'll save him later. They never let him be a carefree kid and always bully him for his mistakes. He feels trapped by their critique and it makes him feel anxious about himself. He's very insecure and is always ready for his parents to throw their stress onto him. Their whole life is about always working and never resting. They teach Nate to be the same, which is why he might fall into dangerous addictions to rebel against them. Atmosphere between him and his parents is overall very tense. He always waits for them to go crazy because of their endless stress. With this aspect his parents might hide from each other who they "relax" with

Asteroid "Nathaniel" Conjuction Rx Neptune: he's obsessed with becoming ideal self. He wants to fall into hermit mode and start meditating to find himself. He doesn't know what he's capable of. He wishes to become unnoticed to start doing what he really likes. Not many people know his real self. He's good at making an illusion that he's a perfect man and husband material. He's good at lying about his intentions. Usually, he needs partners only to discover his abilities. He wants his ego to be always fed by people who fell in love with his fake self. He might have secret hobbies and desires he usually can't bring into real life because Rx Neptune is about fixating on one's dreams, but never making them come true. Overall, Nate's energy is very mysterious, many people feel the need to be close to him because they want to know his real self. His type in a relationship is someone who's living in his own imaginative world where nothing bad can happen. He tries to keep a positive mindset and doesn't see his mistakes

Rx Uranus on 11th house cusp: in big companies he wants to show he's not afraid to go crazy when in real life he'd just refuse to go to the parties. He has this idea that if he does something unbelievable, then his friends will be interested in him. With them he's very loud and excited. Most of his classmates know him for doing foolish things in front of everyone. His behaviour is like that because people who surround him actually scare him with their antics. He hates it when his friends are aggressive, especially, when they try to fight. Also, this aspect gives people at parties the need to show to Nate they're fearless (Rx Uranus). For example, when Fezco hit him with a bottle. His friends are much more crazier than him, because of them he might behave like an obnoxious spoiled child who wants to rebel and destroy everything

Moon Conjuction Ceres: girls in his life feel the need to take care of him like his mother. They wish him to notice how much they want him to be happy. For them he's like a favourite son they want all to themselves. They're very possesive over him and think they know what he needs. I think that Moon in his chart is Maddy who sees him as her son. This aspect gives Nate a need to take care of people who're cold or distant from him, for example, Cassie who's afraid to talk to him in public. Moon Conjuction Ceres is about making sure you look perfect in the eyes of public, you can see how Nate is obsessed with his beauty routine

Asteroid "Cassidy" Semi-Sextile Mars: Semi-Sextiles are about achieving something. In this case he wants Cassie to get pregnant from him. Mars is about pregnancy and egg formation. His goal is to fight for her acceptance usually using aggressive methods like arguing or fighting. Cassie might sometimes feel he hates her because of himiliating energy of Mars who's a god of war

I need opinions

Aight babes, I need all y’all’s profesional opinions for a very serious question; Which fandom is more brutal:

the Walking Dead or Game of Thrones?

Please reblog w/ your insight, thank you very much.

(Ps, that “y’all’s” is the most Texas conjunction I’ve ever spoken online and I love it, goodnight)

[studieswithmi]

8월 23일 - Conjunctions

그리고 - “and” or “and then”, depending on the context, to link together nouns or phrases.

친구를 만났어요 그리고 밥을 먹었어요. - I meet a friend and we ate rice.

그래서 - ‘therefore’ or ‘so’, depending on the context, to show a relationship between two sentences. 

한국어를 공부해요, 그래서 김치를 먹고 싶다.  - I am studying Korean so I want to eat kimchi. 

  하고 - used like a particle (so attached at the end of a noun). Another way to say “and”, but depending on the context it can mean “with” too. 

해산물하고 과일을 좋아해요. - I like seafood and fruit.

나는 잭슨하고 해변에 갔다. - I went to the beach with Jackson Note: Most people are going to assume you “went to the beach with Jackson” and not that you went “to Jackson and the beach”. But if you want to make it more clear, you can add 같이 which means “together”  나는 잭슨하고  같이 해변에 갔다.  - I went to the beach together with Jackson.

(이)랑 - almost completely interchangeable with 하고. It’s also used like a particle and means “and” or “with” depending on the context. The biggest difference is  (이)랑  is a bit more casual so it’s not often used in very formal situations.  If a noun ends with a vowel use 랑  but if it ends with a consonant you use 이랑, for easier pronunciation.

빵이랑 우유 샀어요. - I bought bread and milk.

친구랑  (같이 )공원할 거예요 - I’m going to the park (together) with my friend.

그렇지만 - “but” or “however”. Used for contrasting two statements. 나는 한국어를 공부하고 싶다 그렇지만 나는 바쁘다. - I want to study Korean but I am busy

그런데 - “but” or however.” Can be used to show contrast like  그렇지만, but it’s more broad. It’s used to show to things that happened after each other and if the first sentence is information for the second one. 나는 한국어를 공부하고 싶다 그런데 바쁘다. - I want to study Korean but I am busy. - I want to study Korean, yet I found out I am busy. - I want to study Korean, and by the way, I am busy.

In every day conversation  그런데 is used more, while  그렇지만 is used more in writing. They can be interchangeable depending on the original meaning of the sentence.

Types of Conjunctions with Examples - ECTI Pakistan

In English, Types of conjunctions play a important role in joining the sentences. So, if you want to improve your writing style then you should learn them.

There is nothing wrong with starting sentences with “and,” “but,” or other similar conjunctions. You may, however, encounter people who mistakenly believe that starting a…

Conjuctions and connectors

Sentence connectors and conjuctions.

A sentence connector links one sentence with another.

A conjuction links clauses within a single sentence.

To link two clauses, we use only one conjuction, not two.

We usually put a comma between clauses linked by a conjunction.

However, when because or while begin the second clause in a sentence, we don’t need a comma.

Sentence connectors usually come at the beginning of a sentence and less often at the end or in another position. The only ones that can’t come at the beginning are too and as well.

We usually put a comma after a sentence connector at the beginning or end of a sentence.

When a sentence connector comes elsewhere in a sentence, punctuation is more variable.

Sentence connectors can be used to link clauses in a sentence if the clauses are joined with and, but, or, so, or a semi-colon (;), colon (:) or dash (-).

Conjunctions: before, until

Sometimes we can use either before or until with little difference in meaning.

We use until, not before, when an action continues to a particular time and then stops.

Conjunctions: hardly, no sooner, scarcely

After hardly and scarcely the second clause usually begins with when or before; after no sooner it begins with than or when.

We often use the past perfect in a clause with hardly, no sooner or scarcely and a past simple in the other clause.

Sentence connectors: first(ly), at first, last(ly), at last

We use first to label the first point in a list and last or lastly to label the final point. We use at first to indicate that there is a contrast between past situations, and at last to show that something happened later than hoped or expected.

We don’t use at last to label the last point in a list.

However

However is often a sentence connector, but can also be used as an adverb when it is followed bu an adjective, adverb or much/many or as a conjunction when it means ‘in whatever way’.

Even so (sentence connector), even though (conjunction)

Even so has a meaning similar to however. We use even though to say that a fact doesn’t make the rest of the sentence untrue.

Sentence connectors: on the other hand, on the contrary

We use on the other hand when we compare or contrast two statements. We sometimes introduce the first statemnt with on the other hand.

On the contrary emphasises that we reject the first statement and accept the second.

Prepositions commonly confused with conjunctions and connectors.

These are prepositions, and can’t be used as conjunctions or sentence connectors: as well as, apart from, besides, despite/in spite of, due to, during.
