What’s this about?
There’s a planetary alignment happening on January 21… and it won’t happen again until 2040.
You want to watch it together?
Yes, please… even if we are apart, we have to notice it. Maybe even take our own photos. Then we can talk about it when we see each other again.
And we better be married and watching the alignment physically together in 2040!!!
I will make a wish…
No, a wish is not good enough.
It’s not?
No. Make a Vow.
Make a Vow…
Yes. We will be together, for sure, the next time these planets align. We will have lived a very happy marriage together by that time. And we’ll maintain the happy marriage for many more years to come after that…
I’m gonna… re-word that Vow in my own way…
Yes, me too… it’s just… vaguely worded for the fictional blog… It doesn’t even need words. It’s more of a feeling, a vibration… You know when you’re being sincere…
Do you have a telescope?
No…
Do you want one?
In our future house or luxury apartment? Sure… (shrugs shoulders)
What type would you want?
I don’t know, if it’s at a house, I don’t mind a big, bulky one. If it’s at an apartment, I just want a minimalist, slender one… The big, bulky one — I’ve seen some iPhone photographers actually attach their phones somehow to get some really cool images. I don’t know the specifics of any of that. But I did come across some Tik Tok astronomy photographers sometimes… it looks cool… but no, I haven’t personally tried anything like that.
(Smiles)
What are you planning…?
Nothing… (cheeky grins)
What if your fans read this and make their own Vows to “marry” you — your characters?
Then they are emotionally married to my characters. It will fulfil their lives in some way — it has nothing to do with me. It’s just a projection. I don’t think Vows will work if it’s not based on reality.
Oh… so you mean it’s more of a vibrational wish. Even if they’re literally trying to put “Vows” into words…
Yes, the energy is totally off. It’s just not the same. It’s more of a will of their Egoic minds. It’s not based on reality. My characters don’t exist! They can’t legally marry any of them. They know this too, deep down. It’s not going to happen.
(Nodding) Okay… well… I’m not picturing your characters when I make the Vow.
You’re not?
Not AT ALL — I’m definitely picturing you… Nude Face with the pustular acne.
Really?! You want to marry him?!?!
(Nodding) Yes!!!
Not Anu? Not Mr Incognito?! Or The Elf?!?!
Hmm… I think Nude Face embodies all of them at the same time…
How do you know what Nude Face looks like? How can you visualise him?
I can use a photo-editing app and just add pustular acne to your cheeks!
Oh…? Is that how you’ve been envisioning me?
(Giggles)
I’m not sure how I feel about it. You know, I’ve been using some medicated creams lately… it’s not as bad as early 2000s…
That’s okay? I don’t mind. Again, it’s an energetic vibration… it’s not a wish, though. I don’t want to make a wish. I want to make a Vow, with sincerity.
Okay, let’s make our Vows on January 21.
