The Lilith Archetype

Alexa Demie

signs you might be a child of aphrodite

you put your eyeshadow on with your fingers because 1) it’s easier and 2) it looks softer and more whimsical that way

your eyeshadow is also almost always sparkly

eyeliner. that’s all

you have a very strong opinion about lipgloss vs lipstick and you won’t be swayed

you wear SO MUCH highlighter and you have so many different highlighter palettes and compacts

you fall in love with people for reasons that you can’t make sense of

you’ve often thought that love is both so simple and also the most complicated thing in the world

there’s one person who Fucked You Up, and you don’t think you’ll ever truly forget what it was like to love them with your whole entire heart

almost all the people you’re close with now were intimidated by you at first

“i thought you were mean before we became friends”

you run late all the time because you change your outfit because of last-minute outfit or hair changes

you ALWAYS have at least one hairbrush

either pink or black is your favorite color and you can’t decide between them

rosé wine is your favorite alcoholic drink and cherry or vanilla coke is your favorite soda

you’re a really good listener and you’re the person your friends go to for advice or validation

people have made fun of you for reading novels that mix romance and fantasy, but you know they just don’t understand

you’re really soft, sweet, and affectionate, but, with good reason, you will not hesitate to Fuck Shit Up

(if you’re a girl) engaging girl on girl pettiness is NOT the move

hating it when people call other people ugly just because they don’t like them (on that note, ugly isn’t a thing because eurocentric beauty standards are invalid)

you’ve gone through so many different fashion phases that they all just blur together and there’s no telling how you’re going to dress the next day

you loved pretending to be a mermaid in the water when you were younger (say what you will about poseidon, but that’s an aphrodite thing idc)

sometimes you say really sarcastic or petty things without thinking but you almost always feel bad after (but sometimes they just needed to be said)

you think thrift stores are always more fun

you know that actually you’re not overdressed, everyone else is just underdressed

you’ve always thought valentine’s day is NOT just about romance, it’s also about friends, self-love, and embracing your glamorous feminine side

you know all the good tips and tricks for skincare, face and full body lotions, shampoos, conditioners, and hair masks, makeup, color palettes, non-toxic metals for jewelry, etc

you hate it when people underestimate you because of your more “materialistic” interests, “it’s your loss that you think i can’t wear sparkly pink lipgloss, and also carry our biotech lab group on my back for the quarter”

you love switching up your accessories, hair dye and hair cuts/styles, makeup, fashion)

you’re either fluent in a romance language, took one in highschool or college, are taking one now in highschool or college, or have always wanted to learn one (it’s never too late!)

disco music hits different for you

you love writing poetry and long ramblings (waxing poetic)

you’ve always had a knack for reading emotions and body language and deciding how to respond to them for the best outcome, as well as the best way to comfort people depending on what they’re dealing with

you’re trying to drill it into your head that people who don’t appreciate your flair for the dramatics are people you don’t need in your life

you know love and beauty are underrated as values and that needs to change

art, patrick, tashi & astrology

anyone else ever wonder what art, patrick, and tashi's big three are? no? well, i have.

(the stars wrote that they'd all be compatible in some way, but also drive each other insane).

art donaldson:

libra sun: charming, sociable, and diplomatic. values harmony and balance in their relationships and surroundings. has strong sense of justice and fairness, often striving to create peace and avoid conflict. very unsuspecting and unwilling to take the blame. has deep desire for beautiful things.

cancer rising: comes across as nurturing, sensitive, and intuitive. very caring and protective of their loved ones, often putting others' needs before their own. may appear reserved or cautious when first meeting people but are deeply loyal once they form a bond.

virgo moon: can lack self-confidence. content with living “regular”, unassuming lives. easily overwhelmed by pressure and stress. quite shy in love, easily intimidated on a sexual level, but they aim to please nonetheless.

patrick zweig:

leo sun: confident, charismatic, big personality - enjoys being the centre of attention. has a strong sense of pride but they may be perceived as conceited and self-absorbed. leadership comes naturally to them. craves approval and affection from others.

aquarius rising: unique, independent, forward-thinking. often seen as unconventional and may have a rebellious streak. can come across as sociable and friendly but may also appear detached or aloof. likes getting a rise out of others, are quietly provocative and irreverent.

pisces moon: deeply sensitive and strongly intuitive. very empathetic and perceptive of people and their emotions & inner-workings. they can be flaky and absent-minded. very idealistic - sometimes sees the world through rose-colored glasses.

tashi duncan:

aries sun: confident, energetic, assertive. natural leaders with a strong desire to take initiative and pursue their goals with enthusiasm and determination. often direct, courageous, and willing to take risks.

capricorn rising: presents themselves as disciplined, ambitious, and responsible. they ooze competence, and are very image-oriented. sets long-term goals and works diligently to achieve them. may come across as reserved, cautious or dead-pan.

scorpio moon: emotional life is intense, passionate, and deeply private. due to strong emotions, they have a deep need for emotional security and control. incredibly perceptive and intuitive - often able to see beneath the surface of situations and people. may be prone to secrecy and a desire for transformative experiences (i feel like this is why she cuts her hair at different stages of her life).

p.s. i know this is silly but really, to me, its just a fun way to analyze their characters.

Get over the fear of being seen.

Stop caring about how you’re gonna be perceived. Stop doubting yourself. Stop aiming to be perfect. Stop ruminating.

Accept who you are. Hype yourself. Invest in yourself. Be audacious. Trust in the greater outcome. Allow yourself to be seen as you are.

i get what i want
