Beloved Hekate, defender of the weak,

protector of those who fear the might of the wicked,

for whom each step into the dark is filled with dread,

I pray to you, I ask your favor. Hekate,

who knows well of all things we mortals most fear,

who knows well how best to drive away all ill,

I ask your blessing. Goddess, preserve my home

and my family from evil, guard us well

against all that would do us harm. Goddess, hold back

the dangers of the dark, grant me wisdom and courage

that I may face my fears and my foes with open eyes.

Okay so let it be known that at time of posting I have only seen the live action The Untamed, haven’t gotten through any of the other versions. I just need to let out a feeling about Lan Zhan.

Religious/devout characters are my kryptonite, and I love Lan Zhu specifically as a devout (is that the right term?) person who ends up at odds with the highly structured rules of his clan. Like I feel this deep attachment to that journey and that aspect of him that I barely know how to explain??

PS here he is with a BUNNY. On a Buffy to Untamed spectrum, how much do you like bunnies?

#lan zhan #lan wangji #elvella watches the untamed #the untamed #religiosity #devotion #i’m gonna call lan zhan an angel ok #also give him all the bunnies

An excerpt from the end of a letter where Mary Shelley rejects the advances of her long-time friend Edward Trelawny, 26 July 1831:

"My name will never be Trelawny. I am not so young as I was when you first knew me, but I am as proud. I must have the entire affection, devotion, and, above all, the solicitous protection of any one who would win me. You belong to womenkind in general, and Mary Shelley will never be yours.

I write in haste, but I will write soon again, more at length. You shall have your copies the moment I receive them. Believe me, with all gratitude and affection,

Yours,

M. W. Shelley."

Nothing says "I love you" as clearly as white lilies—ironic, since they're some of the region's most poisonous flowers.

Some mages believe that these lilies contain a mysterious magic, but attempts to harness this power have only resulted in lethal poisonings. ☠

The Gods are not trans allies.

The Gods are not trans-friendly.

The Gods do not ‘support’ queer people.

The Gods ARE trans. The Gods ARE queer.

The Gods are transgender, They are transsexual. ‘Trans’ means ‘beyond, across’.

The Gods are beyond gender. Beyond sex. Beyond flesh. Beyond normality and norms— thus, They are queer. They are trans. They are on the other side of gender, of sex— on the side we cannot even begin to understand.

The Gods are transsexual and transgender and queer not (only) within our human understanding of transness— They are not trans in the way we humans are trans.

But They are still trans. They are the original transness. The ultimate transsexuality.

Transness as a transition from a state to another state, from a form to another form— from Their divine form to one we humans can behold without being consumed by Their inherent queerness. From Their divinity to words we humans can attempt to understand and think of without being utterly lost in the enormity and infinity of the divine.

Transness as a journey, a constant state of evolution within the world— evolution of the world itself, for the Gods are the world, are beyond time, beyond space, yet constantly changing.

The Gods do not love trans worshippers despite their transness, despite their queerness. The Gods love trans worshippers for their transness. They love us because we are trans. Because we are queer.

As we defy norms, we become closer to Them— trans people are humans, mortals, but I firmly believe that there is something inherently holy in transition. To change yourself, to think the limits of the body and to alter your own flesh is to create, is to destroy. To understand how limitless the world is— how flesh and sex and gender are human things, social things, that are made by us and can be expended and transgressed— is to take a step towards the Gods.

The Gods love you. You are made in Their image. Or maybe— you make yourself in Their image. And that is beautiful.

(reminder that this is my vision of divinity, not a definite fact, even if i think there are a lot of things (in multiple cultures/religions) that point to the divine being beyond gender)

Dear Lord, help me to not be afraid. Make me strong against worry and fear and bring peace. Lord, I don't want to be a worrier, I want to be a warrior for you. Thank you for fighting for me when I struggle to do it myself. I pray this all in Jesus' powerful name. Amen!
