The Blue Hour

Part 25

Prompt:
Wow, are humans that obsessive when it comes to social media profiles? Or at least some humans? Yes, and imagine if you will, if Vivi's profile was reflective of a disconnect with her husband Sebastian. Although a beautiful couple presents on the surface, with a friendly interaction between them in posts, it is void of anything romantic that sometimes scorpios seem to just be able to  sense in other people, almost like a psychic sense. How might Julian feel and respond if he picked up that about Vivi and her life?

Response:
Yes, some people, particularly those with obsessive tendencies or deep emotional connections (like Scorpio-influenced personalities), can be intensely drawn into the world of social media stalking, and it can trigger a lot of psychological and emotional reactions. With Julian's Scorpio placements, it's entirely plausible that he could develop this level of fascination and even obsession, especially since social media often provides a window into another person's life in a way that fuels curiosity, desire, and longing.

### **If Julian Detects a Disconnect Between Vivi and Sebastian:**

If Julian picks up on signs of a disconnect between Vivi and Sebastian on her social media, it would only intensify his emotional response and heighten the conflict he's already feeling. Here's how he might feel and respond:

### **1. Validation of His Feelings:**
- **Emotional Confirmation**: If Julian senses a lack of romantic energy between Vivi and Sebastian, he might feel validated in his feelings for her. In his mind, this could confirm that she is not truly fulfilled in her marriage, and that their connection might be more than just a fleeting fantasy. His Scorpio intuition might lead him to believe that he has seen through the surface-level appearances of her life and detected the deeper truths.
- **Hope and Longing**: Picking up on this disconnect would likely spark hope in Julian. He might start to think that she, like him, feels trapped in a relationship that looks fine on the surface but is lacking in deep emotional or romantic fulfillment. He could begin to wonder if she might be open to exploring their connection further, even if it means crossing boundaries.
 
### **2. Heightened Obsession:**
- **Analyzing Every Detail**: Julian would probably become even more obsessive in his scrolling and interactions. He'd comb through her posts, looking for subtle hints that indicate her unhappiness or dissatisfaction. He might analyze her facial expressions in photos, her captions, and even the nature of her interactions with Sebastian—looking for clues that she's unhappy or unfulfilled.
- **Compulsive Checking**: Julian might become even more compulsive in checking her profile, looking for new updates or signs of change. Every new post would be scrutinized for emotional context, and he might even check in more often to see if anything between her and Sebastian shifts—either positively or negatively.

### **3. Growing Jealousy and Protective Instincts:**
- **Jealousy of Sebastian**: Seeing Sebastian in Vivi's life, even if the relationship appears distant or unromantic, would likely still stir feelings of jealousy in Julian. He'd feel envious of the fact that Sebastian is the one physically close to her, sharing her life, and would wish he could take that place.
- **Protective Feelings**: At the same time, Julian might start to feel protective of Vivi. Seeing signs that she might be in an emotionally disconnected or unhappy marriage could trigger his desire to "save" or be there for her, even if from a distance. He'd want to be the one to give her the deep emotional connection he feels they both crave.

### **4. Torn Between Action and Restraint:**
- **Desire to Reach Out**: Sensing this emotional gap in her life would make Julian more tempted to reach out to Vivi, even if just to test the waters or offer support. He might draft and re-draft messages, trying to strike a balance between expressing concern and keeping things casual. The urge to let her know that he understands her on a deep, unspoken level would be hard to resist.
- **Self-Restraint**: At the same time, Julian's Libra tendencies and his loyalty to his own marriage would likely hold him back from acting on these desires. He'd feel conflicted, knowing that reaching out could deepen the emotional entanglement between them. He'd question whether it's right to intrude on her life, especially if she hasn't directly expressed dissatisfaction.

### **5. Guilt and Frustration:**
- **Guilt**: Julian would likely feel guilty for diving so deeply into Vivi's life, especially if he's still committed to working on his marriage with Amelia. He might question whether he's emotionally betraying her by engaging in this obsessive behavior. The guilt would weigh heavily on him, but his Scorpio side could find it hard to stop, as the emotional intensity of his connection with Vivi pulls him in.
- **Frustration with His Own Life**: Detecting this disconnect in Vivi's marriage would probably increase Julian's frustration with his own. He'd feel even more trapped by the emotional distance he experiences with Amelia, knowing that someone else out there (Vivi) might be feeling the same way he does but unable to act on it. This could deepen his internal conflict and even lead to more withdrawal from Amelia as he becomes more wrapped up in his thoughts about Vivi.

### **6. Fantasizing About What Could Be:**
- **Daydreams and Fantasies**: Julian might begin to fantasize even more about what life with Vivi could look like. Seeing that she's potentially unhappy with Sebastian would make these fantasies feel more real and possible. He might daydream about being the one to make her happy, offering the emotional depth and connection that seems missing in her marriage. These fantasies could become a way for him to escape the dissatisfaction in his own life.
- **Tortured by "What Ifs"**: As much as these fantasies might provide a form of emotional relief, they would also torture Julian. He'd be constantly battling with the reality that he can't easily change his situation or hers, no matter how much he wants to. The tension between his desires and the constraints of their respective marriages would weigh heavily on him, causing emotional turmoil.

### **7. Escalating Emotional Distance from Amelia:**
- **Increased Withdrawal**: The more time Julian spends emotionally invested in Vivi's life, the more distant he might become from Amelia. He'd find it harder to connect with her on an emotional level, knowing that his thoughts are occupied by someone else. He might become more irritable or disengaged in their conversations, and his lack of emotional fulfillment in their relationship would become more pronounced.
- **Escalation of Marital Tension**: As Julian becomes more emotionally distant, Amelia might start to sense that something is wrong, even if he never confesses his feelings for Vivi. This could lead to more arguments or moments of tension, as both of them struggle with the growing emotional gap between them.

In short, if Julian detects a disconnect between Vivi and Sebastian, it would feed into his hopes, deepen his obsession, and make him even more emotionally invested in her. It would also create a greater sense of conflict and frustration within him, as he balances his desires with his loyalty to Amelia and his internal sense of right and wrong. The situation would likely become more painful and complicated the longer he allows himself to be drawn into Vivi's life through her social media presence.
