Signs - Blog Posts
This is somehow both 8yo me and the reason 8yo me slept in bathtubs fighting for my life three nights straight after my dad forced my sleep paralysis having self to watch M Night Shamalan’s 2002 film, Signs, for the first time
The X-Files (1996)
Pleated-Jeans assembled a collection of 28 photos of wonderfully funny, strange or otherwise unexpected signs found posted at zoos. These are our favorites. Click here to view them all.
And please, help the fish finally quit smoking:

The Sohmas (Fruits Basket) as Birthstones based on the month corresponding with their cursed member of the Chinese zodiac:
I decided to make this because to me “Fruits Basket” was the “Steven Universe” for me before I even watched the latter show. Tohru is kind of like Steven in a way, healing lost broken things/people with their kindness and loving nature. Tohru even has a dead mother and lives with 3 other people. That’s pretty much it though.
One reason why I’m doing this is because I wanted to make a “Steven Universe” version of this anime since anime is definitely smiled upon in that show. So in my headcanon the show in that universe will be called Fruit Salad (call me out if you can think of a better title). Instead of turning into animals when stressed or hugged by the opposite sex, they will turn into their true form as aliens from another galaxy. So there’s no need to worry them being naked when they change back. That’s pretty much all I got for now considering it’s just a headcanon of an anime within a cartoon show.
So here’s the list so far.
Hatsuharu – Garnet (Gem Placement: nose, forehead, chest, left hand, or right hand)
Kisa – Amethyst (Gem Placement: stomach or back)
Momiji – Aquamarine (Gem Placement: chest, stomach, or back)
Hatori – Diamond (Gem Placement: one of his eyes, forehead, or back)
Ayame - Emerald (Gem Placement: chest, neck, tongue, or uvula)
Isuzu – Pearl (Gem Placement: chest or nose)
Hiro – Ruby (Gem Placement: forehead or neck)
Ritsu – Peridot (Gem Placement: stomach or back)
Kureno – Sapphire (Gem Placement: stomach)
Shigure – Opal (Gem Placement: forehead or neck)
Kagura – Topaz (Gem Placement: chest, right hand, or left hand)
Yuki – Turquoise (Gem Placement: forehead)
Kyo – Bloodstone (because of his beads for is bracelet were from bones and some were dipped with blood. Not to mention that it was a stand-in for the March birthstone. This is one of the closest months to February, the month of the Tiger. Tiger being a feline that should be quite fitting for the unofficial year of the cat) (Gem Placement: Nose, chest, right hand, or left hand)
Akito - Serpentine (SNEOPLE!) (Gem Placement: forehead)
This are not set in stone (pun intended). This is just a basis for what their gems need to be to fit with their cursed years. If you want to help find a gem that truly fits them and still corresponds with their animal month. Here’s something to help. Just search the stones for their following signs (except for Kyo and Akito. They’re the rebels).
Hatsuharu – Capricorn
Kisa – Aquarius
Momiji – Pisces
Hatori – Aries
Ayame - Taurus
Isuzu – Gemini
Hiro – Cancer
Ritsu – Leo
Kureno – Virgo
Shigure – Libra
Kagura – Scorpio
Yuki – Sagittarius
Just to be clear I’m going by their cursed dates, not birthdates (if I was there would have been 4 rubies and 2 garnets). Be free to help decide where all their gem placements should be. Just keep in my mind that “gem placements = personality influence” is the unspoken canon of the Steven Universe show.
Thank you for reading and have a blessed day.

Astro Convo 2
(Based on a real conversation)
Cancer: Yo what if we were living in a simulation? What if none of this was actually real? What if animals were supposed to be the ‘humans’ of the world but there was a glitch in the system and they were too lazy to fix it? What if the moon was a hologram? What if Donald Trump was trying to let Hillary win but then he realized he could be the most famous person so he betrayed her to become president in the end? What if everything like Wendy Williams fainting and Britney Spears going crazy was just a way from distracting us from real problems? What if-- Gemini: You need to stop watching Shane Dawson.

Hunting for Organic Molecules on Mars
Did Mars once have life? To help answer that question, an international team of scientists created an incredibly powerful miniature chemistry laboratory, set to ride on the next Mars rover.
The instrument, called the Mars Organic Molecule Analyzer Mass Spectrometer (MOMA-MS), will form a key part of the ExoMars Rover, a joint mission between the European Space Agency (ESA) and Roscosmos. A mass spectrometer is crucial to send to Mars because it reveals the elements that can be found there. A Martian mass spectrometer takes a sample, typically of powdered rock, and distinguishes the different elements in the sample based on their mass.
After 8 years of designing, building, and testing, NASA scientists and engineers from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center said goodbye to their tiny chemistry lab and shipped it to Italy in a big pink box. Building a tiny instrument capable of conducting chemical analysis is difficult in any setting, but designing one that has to launch on a huge rocket, fly through the vacuum of space, and then operate on a planet with entirely different pressure and temperature systems? That’s herculean. And once on Mars, MOMA has a very important job to do. NASA Goddard Center Director Chris Scolese said, “This is the first intended life-detecting instrument that we have sent to Mars since Viking.”
The MOMA instrument will be capable of detecting a wide variety of organic molecules. Organic compounds are commonly associated with life, although they can be created by non-biological processes as well. Organic molecules contain carbon and hydrogen, and can include oxygen, nitrogen, and other elements.
To find these molecules on Mars, the MOMA team had to take instruments that would normally occupy a couple of workbenches in a chemistry lab and shrink them down to roughly the size of a toaster oven so they would be practical to install on a rover.
MOMA-MS, the mass spectrometer on the ExoMars rover, will build on the accomplishments from the Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM), an instrument suite on the Curiosity rover that includes a mass spectrometer. SAM collects and analyzes samples from just below the surface of Mars while ExoMars will be the first to explore deep beneath the surface, with a drill capable of taking samples from as deep as two meters (over six feet). This is important because Mars’s thin atmosphere and spotty magnetic field offer little protection from space radiation, which can gradually destroy organic molecules exposed on the surface. However, Martian sediment is an effective shield, and the team expects to find greater abundances of organic molecules in samples from beneath the surface.
On completion of the instrument, MOMA Project Scientist Will Brinckerhoff praised his colleagues, telling them, “You have had the right balance of skepticism, optimism, and ambition. Seeing this come together has made me want to do my best.”
In addition to the launch of the ESA and Roscosmos ExoMars Rover, in 2020, NASA plans to launch the Mars 2020 Rover, to search for signs of past microbial life. We are all looking forward to seeing what these two missions will find when they arrive on our neighboring planet.

Detachment and the Path to Manifestation: My Journey Toward Shifting Realities
I recently tried repeating affirmations and assumptions all day long. I didn't experience the shifting I expected, but I found an interesting clue as to why shifting is delayed. I practiced these affirmations and assumptions to the limit, and one day, I suddenly experienced that my consciousness was deeply attached to this reality and the feeling of anxiety. At that moment, a scene from another world came to me, and I felt a very specific, strong, and distinct feeling in the scene. When I withdrew my attention and interest from the existing reality, all of this disappeared as if it had never existed in the first place.
From this experience, I learned that the reason shifting or manifestation is delayed is because of the strong immersion in this reality. Even if we are not conscious of it, our consciousness is very, very attached to this reality. It is so attached that we only feel this one feeling, which is this reality, so paradoxically, we feel nothing. However, if our consciousness is sufficiently detached from reality, we can feel another reality specifically and clearly.
I have been repeating this since this experience, paying attention to my consciousness and sense of presence. It has only been a few weeks since I started, but I keep seeing signs around me. For example, repetitive numbers like 1111, 333, 2222. I feel like this is the simplest and most essential method.
I wish you and I success! In the end, we will all succeed! Good luck on your journey.
