I'm here to remind everyone that our very Yasashii Gakuenchou has defensive magic strong enough to withstand an attack from someone that's currently in overblot. Granted a tree was used by the phantom to attack, the damage dealt to the surroundings was no joke either.
Also, I don't know if you've noticed, how good Crowley's reaction time actually is. Because from the looks of it here in these panels, Crowley was already moving away to usher majority of the other students to safety, because see, he's already away from Trey's group when Riddle's phantom split the ground with the tree, but the moment Crowley noticed that the impact was heading straight for Trey's group, he was right back to where they were with his barrier cast instantaneously to shield everyone from harm. Crowley is literally the only thing standing in the way of Trey and the attack's impact. His barrier was strong enough that the place they were standing on wasnt affected, instead, the damage gets split over to the sides where the shield wasn't cast.
Tumblr media
So you know, I do believe that Dire is very sincere when he says that his students' well being is his top priority. Which also, allow me to point out, he's a fine judge of what to prioritize, and is quick to make that decision, and the necessary actions needed to fulfil his goals. At first, his priority were the students that MAY end up getting hurt due to Riddle going berserk. Trey's group is trustworthy enough to give instructions to, so he gives them the go signal to seek assistance from the staff, but the moment he sees that that group was in danger, he shifts his priorities to those who need to be protected first and foremost. Since the danger shifted, he has to adjust to it, because his top priority is the wellbeing of his students. And at this point, everyone's wellbeing was being taken into account. From the bystanders and other members of Heartslabyul, to the group he entrusted with a task, to Riddle. He doesn't leave anyone out. Everyone is accounted for. I'm a firm believer that Crowley didn't engage Riddle because as part of the Night Raven College Staff, its Headmaster even, lifting a hand against his students is something that he wouldn't do-- despite the necessity. He well could have fought Rosehearts, but that puts not only every student in the vicinity in danger, but it puts Riddle at the greatest risk. Crowley understands how Blot works, and how Overblot works. IF, If he were to fight Riddle himself, that would cause the Housewarden to expend even more mana. Magic consumption is fast enough when someone is in overblot, so he is making sure that the boy doesn't push himself to the limit. Being in overblot, the negative energy corrupts a person-- as they say, evil Berserker mode. And I believe that it's safe to say, anyone who is hot-tempered and extremely angry is very quick to provoke. In my opinion, he's taking the safest measures, the most optimal course of action so that our overblotee doesn't get any more provoked than he already is.
So yeah, IF IN CASE he was present for other overblots, I don't think he'd be the type to just run away without a reason, or leave everything to MC and company. Because he is there, he will do what needs to be done in order to protect his students, without aggravating the student that was in overblot.
Tumblr media
See here, he even takes the blame for it himself. He doesn't blame anyone else. Not Trey for going against Riddle, not Ace for punching his Housewarden, he isn't even putting the blame on Riddle. Crowley takes responsibilities for his actions and his shortcomings in the best way available, and with as little collateral damage as possible. It may not always be the most logical solution to the students, but when he's there and he decides to act, it's for the best. BUT AGAIN. It also stays true to his style of "allowing them to resolve their own troubles by themselves". Otherwise he'd just fix this all himself, but where is the growth for them in that?
I do love that Crewel has a line when he talks about the staff wherein he says that Crowley is always just thinking about his students, to the point that he works himself to the bone. And that, there are times when he flees the scene when it becomes problematic, and that sometimes, it has to be that way. This really shows me how different things are behind the scenes. (Every one of the staff who has exam lines say nice things about Crowley.) When it's just the staff and Crowley vs the students and Crowley. Then again. This is understandable. Since they are all fellow staff and colleagues, there's less thresholds and boundaries, compared to students. But it's not like Crowley slacks either in terms of his relationship with his students... which I will discuss in some other post, just not this one. Feel free to ask me about it, if you feel like it. I love talking about Crowley.
Anyway, I do like that we dont see what Crowley is capable of from the get-go as it gives us a lot of freedom when it comes to what he can do. But I do like what we're currently privy to at the moment. And that's the fact that he can use complicated magic without even missing a beat like it's nothing does say something about him. Crowley even has transformation magic in his arsenal, which is probably one of the more complicated types of magic (if we base it from how difficult form-altering potions are to make, then we can probably make the assumption that transforming/shapeshifting into other forms are just as rare, complex, and complicated to perform). If we take into account the timespace teleportation magic used to summon students, if that's part of his magic repertoire and not just solely the mirror's ability... then I think it's safe to say, Crowley can do so much more, given time and circumstance.
But that's it for me for today.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Hi! I saw on an Az fic you wrote that you were taking requests. If you still were, I'd love some bondage with Kallias smut. Or if you'd prefer not to write smut, maybe reader is Illyrian and her wings are cold?
Hellooooo thank you so much for sending in this request! 🫶🏻 I'm not yet sure how to write smut or even go about it but I am not opposed to it. Maybe someday in the future I will post something related to smut. I also don't really write for Kallias because I know nothing about the man 😭. For now, here you go! 💖
Warnings: None. (If I need to add something lmk)
Type: Fluff, comfort.
Word Count: 1193
Pairing: Kallias x Reader (Fem)
FROSTBITE
Drip, drip, drip.
The water slowly trickled off of the icicles lining the cave. Everything went wrong. So wrong. You were a spy from the Night Court. One of Azriel’s specially trained and Rhys’s most trusted. There were rumours of a rebellion starting in the Winter Court and he was concerned it might flare up to be more. However, that was all it was. A rumour. You could gather no intel, in fact, you even managed to piss off a couple of people because you probbed them too long unnecessarily. 
Which now led you here. Far out into some random cave on some random mountain, trying to find refuge against the brutal winds and snow. You were illyrian, yes, you should be able to withstand the cold due to your upbringing in the mountains. But this? This was just numbing, cruel and pricking.
“What happened?” Rhys spoke into your mind. “I can feel you weakened.”
“Mission was unsuccessful and unnecessary. The rumours were not true. I am now stuck in a random ass cave trying to hide from this fucking snow storm. Can you contact someone? Any friend of yours that might be able to help me?” You plead.
“I see. I will ask Kallias to come get you. Unless you don't want him?” You could hear the smirk in his voice. 
You wanted Kallias. Wanted him to be frank. But the last time you were face to face with him, you got drunk and rambled on about all the things you want to do to him and all the things you want him to do to you. Let’s just say the hangover hurt for more reasons than one.
“Just send him.” You groaned. Were you ready to face him? Absolutely the fuck not. But did you wish to see him? Yes. “My wings are cold.”
— — — — — —
After what seemed like hours you finally hear footsteps sloshing against the wetness of the pathway. Although you remind yourself to keep your guard up, threats could come in any form. 
“Y/N?” You hear Kallias’s husky, gravely voice. He approaches the entrance of the cave and sees you huddled up in the far corner, rubbing your arms to give yourself even a hint of warmth.
“H-Hey” Your voice shakes as you respond. The weather has caught up to you now, slowly seeping into your veins, almost making you feel like a statue, still. Lifeless. 
“It’s okay, you’re okay. Here.” He takes a tentative step towards you, assessing your form. You look sunken and shrivelled up. Your body was shivering uncontrollably no matter how much you tried to stop. He comes closer to you and kneels down in front of you, gently brushing away the wet strands of hair from your face, caressing your cheekbones in the process.
You lean into his touch. Somehow, even in this cold, harsh weather, he was warm. Warm like sunlight right after the storm clouds dissipate. Warm, like he’s exactly what you need. “Took you long enough.” It takes everything in you to muster up a small taunting smirk.
“Of course you would joke in this condition of yours.” He huffs out a laugh. He reaches into his bag and pulls out a material that feels like wool. “Rhys told me of your situation, tried to get here as soon as I could. This,” he says nudging the material in his hands,“is infused wool. We produce this to help migrants and visitors who have wings to shield against the cold. You just wrap it around your wings and button it up. It won’t restrict your flight.” He hands the material to you. 
“I-I don’t th-think I can move right n-now.” My speech comes out stammered. 
“Oh.” Understanding washes over his face. “I mean, I can always put it on for you, but I know how Illyrians are with their wings and what it means or feels like when you touch their wings… You sure you would trust me with that?
I offer him a small smile. Kallias, ever the respectful gentleman. “I called you to come save my life didn’t I? I trust you. Go for it.”
He carefully unwraps the material and folds it over your wings, one at a time. He makes sure not to hit any sensitive nerve or brush across any talons in fear of hurting you. You shudder and lean into him when he accidently brushes a knuckles across a big nerve. 
Your chests are pressed up against each other, your head coming up till his chin. Almost out of reflex, his arms fold around you and his chin rests atop your head. You slowly pull your head back and look up at him through wet eyelashes. Kallias closes his eyes, almost like he was counting down to ten, controlling himself. 
But you didn’t want him to hold himself back. You wanted him to unleash himself, to let himself have what he wants, have you. Hell, he wanted to lose control. He wanted to surge forward and claim you, taste you. But he knew one taste wouldn’t be enough, and one taste was all he could ask for.
“Y/N…” He whispers into the cold, rigid air. Like a plea. Like a prayer.
“Kallias,” You reply, begging as much as he was. 
“You’re playing with fire, sweetheart.” He warns.
“Lucky for me, fire is exactly what I need right now.” You breathe out.
That seemed to do it. Seemed to melt whatever restraint he held up against himself. In the blink of an eye, you were pushed against the stone wall, his lips crashing against yours. He kisses, no, devours you whole. Your entire body is burning up in contrast to the weather outside. The entire moment is a blur, clashing of lips, tongue and teeth. Hands roaming each other’s bodies, searching for satisfaction. He holds your wrists up against your head and pins your body with his hips. He lets out a moan into your mouth, and you swallow the sound taking anything he will give you.
You both pull away gasping for air, staring into each other’s eyes. His lips travel down your jaw to your neck, peppering kisses on his way. He brings his lips near your ear and whispers, “The things you do to me Y/N…”
You push up against him in response, not having the mindset to formulate words. 
“C’mon sweetie, let’s get you back to the palace and arrange a warm bath for you with some good food.” He kisses your cheeks awaiting a response from you.
“That sounds great actually. Really fucking needed right now.” You breathe in his scent. He smells of pine, cloves and sparkling clementine. He smells so comforting. He feels like home. 
He chuckles lightly, “And maybe, if you end up feeling better, we can do the things you wanted to last time we met. You know the ones where you wanted to ride me into-”
“Okay stop for the cauldron’s sake.” You slam your palm over his mouth in embarrassment. “Fine yeah, we can go now.”
He huffs out a laugh and kisses the middle of your palms. “As you wish sweetheart.”

THIS JUST HIS JOURNEY AFTER. / ALSO LIKELY TO WRITE HIM WITH THE DAISY JONES AND THE SIX UNIVERSE.
HARTLEY 'HART' MONROE, ORIGINAL CHARACTER AFFILIATED WITH NONPAREIL'S TEDDY. ROUGH START FOR THIS BOY, NOT A GREAT FAMILY LIFE, JOINED THE RAF, WORKED THROUGH THE RANKS, NOW A GROUP CAPTAIN, KNOWN FOR HIS SUCCESSFUL RECKLESS MANEUVERS AND RISK TAKING.

NATASHA ROMANOVA, FIRST YEARS ARE PRACTICALLY IDENTICALLY TO THAT OF THE COMICS. ONLY AFTER DEFLECTION DOES HER STORY CHANGE. INSTEAD OF TAKING A PATH OF REDEMPTION AND EVENTUALLY TO A HERO, SHE FALLS INTO GOTHAM, A MORALLY QUESTIONABLE DESTINATION. THERE SHE CREATES 'THE WEB' AN INTERACTIVE GALLERY IN WHICH SHE USES AS A GUISE. HER LIFE IS ABOUT SURVIVAL, INDEPENDENCE AND SPINNING SOMETHING OF HER CONTROL. WHILST HER INTENTIONS ARE CRIMINAL, THE TRUE PEOPLE WHO BENEFIT FROM HER ACTIVITIES ARE THOSE WHO WAS IN A SIMILAR SPOT TO HER. THIS WOMAN IS NEVER WHAT SHE SEEMS TO ANYONE. / I AM OPEN TO HER BRIEFLY WORKING WITH THE AVENGERS BUT I DON'T THINK IT WOULD END THE WAY IT DOES IN THE FILMS/COMICS.
PAMELA ISLEY, MOSTLY SIMILAR TO THE COMICS, THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT I WANT HER TO BE INSPIRED BY THE SNAKE IN EDEN. SHE IS THE GARDEN, BLOOMING BUT SHE IS ALSO THE SNAKE. SHE IS THE ONE WHO TEMPTS YOU TO DECEPTION, WHO WILL CHALLENGE YOUR MATERIAL ATTACHMENT TO THE WORLD AROUND.
SELINA KYLE, INSPIRED BY DANTES INFERNO : NINE CIRCLES, NINE LIVES, EACH IN RELATION TO THE SIN AND PUNISHMENT. EACH LIFE HAS AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT TIMELINE, EXAMPLES : 7TH VIOLENCE AGAINST SELF/DAISY JONES AND THE SIX , 8TH FRAUD/GOTHAM AND CATWOMAN AND 9TH TREACHERY/THE WALKING DEAD.

SHE'S INCREDIBLY WELL RESPECTED, CLEVER AND RESOURCEFUL. BUT WARNING, SHE CAN BE A THREAT AND SHE NEVER HAD TO GET HER OWN HANDS DIRTY.

Amane symbolism - evil eyes
Tumblr media
Before going further I want to say that this is made for fun!! Don't take things too seriously!
I will analyse Amane's eyes!
(If you don't know, I made something similar for Mahiru and Muu, so this short part will be just me repeating what evil eyes mean)
~Evil eyes~
I know that this is about jewelry, but the yellow and green evil eyes have really interesting meanings that I think it relates with Amane's case.
Tumblr media
Now, into the analysis!
~yellow evil eyes~
Tumblr media
Some short meanings!
Tumblr media
The yellow evil eye can represent the cult's ideals. The happiness and positivity is something seen in Amane's MV and maybe also in this one. The cult made Amane believe that everything they teach her is for her own happiness and such, the punishments are a way to bring positivity in her life. Usually, religion can be a form of bringing someone inner peace and be a stress and anxiety relief. And Amane's is often shown saying that she'll be fine, because her God will protect her.
Moreover, the yellow evil eye symbolises lack of distractions, concentration and attentiveness. Amane states that she never went to an amusement park or karaoke. She was more preoccupied to be a "good and diligent daughter" who studies to make her father pround.
Tumblr media
The cult also has strict rules, which are presented in her first MV. Wake up early, study, clean or help around. Amane tries her best to listen to these rules, not only as a way to show that she's loyal to the cult, but also to not receive any punishments for her "disobedience".
Tumblr media
~Green evil eyes~
Tumblr media
Short meanings! (ignore the 4 from the last picture!!)
Tumblr media
The green evil eye may symbolise Amane's desires to make the cult pround. The evil green eye, also symbolies happiness and good fortune, as the yellow one, showing how Amane wants to learn and use the cult's beliefs. And we see her actively doing this, being strong and trying to constantly be a proper example. During trial 1, we often saw Amane studying, even in Milgram prison, in order to not stay behind with the materials. She also was asking for tips to improve her skills.
Kotoko and Amane
"Amane: Thank you very much for teaching me……but, though I realise it’s strange me saying this after I asked you, I must admit it’s kind of unexpected. You give off the impression of someone who wouldn’t want to get involved in things like this.
Kotoko: ……well, you’re not wrong. I’m surrounded by people who could all be murderers, so I don’t plan on going out of my way to talk and make friends. I can’t let my guard down. But I like ambitious people like you. If you want to study more, then I’m happy to teach.
Amane: I see…You look scary at first impression, but I quite like the way you treat everyone equally regardless of whether they’re older or younger than you. You don’t just treat me like a child or anything like that.
Kotoko: Treat you like a child? Hah, you’ve got to be kidding. Back when I was your age, I was already the person I am today. I don’t have any plans to let you get away with something just “because you’re a child.” ……remember that. There, I’ve finished marking. 83%. How do I put it… Even though you act like this, it’s not like you’re super brilliant at studying or anything, huh."
Shidou and Amane
"Amane: …what’s wrong, Shidou-san? Your hand has stopped marking. This is mathematics, so there’s no questions about the answers. If I got something wrong, please mark it with an X.
Shidou: I… I just don’t understand. If everything about MILGRAM is true… why did a child like you have to become a murderer? Just imagining what sort of circumstances must have led to that, it makes me so sad…
Amane: ……*sigh*. Is that right. I don’t think I’m going to get along with you, Shidou-san. I don’t agree with the fact you refuse to acknowledge that I have my own free will, and that I should be held accountable for my actions, just because I’m a child. I may have only been alive for 12 years, but all the choices I’ve made, even if they weren’t the best ones, were entirely my own. What point is there in you getting sad when I have no regrets myself? …please give me back my test. It seems you don’t have the concentration levels required to be my teacher. I’m going to get Kotoko-san to teach me instead.
Shidou: Amane…I don’t think that’s true. However smart you may be…… you’re still just a child."
Amane's goals or dreams are to make her cult and parents pround! Her first MV is all about her trying to be the best version of herself. From a simple girl, to an angel, showing how she reached her best version, the one that everyone is pround of...
Tumblr media
Also some lyrics from her first MV that show Amane's wish to become better.
Tumblr media
Thank you for reading! ~🧿

*materializes into existence*
HI :D
Mayhaps platonic analogical? Logan meeting one of Virgil's pet spiders? Maybe?
Idk if you're up for requests rn, but here this is in case you are.
Have fun writing :D
When Virgil Can Share His Spider Love
Warnings: Spiders
Pairing: Platonic Logan and Virgil
Wordcount: 3059
Notes: Yes I am most certainly up for requests. My first post about taking fanfic writing requests was for Sanders Sides, but this is actually my first writing request for this series. Most of them have been for the Owl House. I actually haven't written for analogical (platonic of otherwise) in a while, so this is nice.
This prompt implies that Virgil has more than one pet spider, which was a concept I don't think I've seen before. So I wanted to play with that idea in a way that still stuck true to the initial prompt. This almost gets me to want to write a fic about Virgil acquiring his first spider pet actually. I'm also considering one about Logan getting a pet. Maybe another fic related to this one, sometimes I get inspired.
It's almost common knowledge at this point that Virgil  has a pet spider. So he doesn’t think much of it. When Logan approached Virgil one day out of the blue, his pet spider was not a topic he expected to come up.
 Logan was all business. His posture straight and face neutral. Not an unusual look for the logical side. His eyes had a direct and focused look to them as he faced Virgil. That said he had an intent purpose for coming to the other.
Virgil tensed instinctively. His first response to anything always being to stay on guard.
Logan’s hands were folded behind his back and he nodded to the anxious side.
“Virgil. If I could have a moment of your time, I wanted to ask something of you,” Logan said.
Yeah, that wasn’t helping at all.
Virgil leaned back a bit and nodded.
“Uh…yeah Logan? What’s up?”
Logan tilted his head slightly at the reaction, but his face didn’t twitch.
“Apologies if my approach has distressed you at all. It is nothing bad, I can assure you.”
Now that should reassure him in some way, but this was Virgil. Hopefully the others would understand by now it’s not that simple to calm him down.
“Uh huh. Just out with it, Logan. What did you want to ask?” Virgil asked.
Logan nodded and straightened up again.
“Right, yes. I have been informed of the uh spider situation in your room.”
Ah, yes. Virgil knew what he was referring to.
After the mini-plushies video, Roman had seen Virgil's use for mini-Roman. A companion for his pet spider. Roman had not approved, not wanting any version of him to be near a spider. So he got Remus to give Virgil another spider, so that could be the first one’s companion. Little did Roman know, the new one was a male spider. Seeing as the original was a female…you can see where that went.
Roman had even more incentive to avoid Virgil’s room than he had before. Virgil loved having many spiders in his room though. These spiders were all over the room now. The webbing from the Halloween special was no longer a one-time thing. Since there were so many spiders around. Most of them were still small, as the majority were still babies. They were actually hard to keep track of because of that. Another thing that made the other sides unnerved.
“Ah. Yeah? What about it?” Virgil asked.
He wasn’t sure why Logan was asking. It didn’t affect him. The other sides rarely went into Virgil’s room anyways because of the affect it had on them.
“Well, uh,” Logan shifted. The first break in his perfectly logical posture.
 Now Virgil narrowed his eyes, but in confusion.
Logan cleared his throat.
“I haven’t heard of such a phenomenon happening with another side before. Which, of course I suppose makes sense. Seeing as this is a new thing, and we only know of other sides of Thomas. Not to mention you are the only side here with an affinity for spiders. As most of them have a fear of them due to Thomas’ arachnophobia…”
The rambling…was Logan nervous?
“Logan,” Virgil simply said.
Logan stopped mid-sentence and then adjusted his tie.
“Ah, right. Well, anyways, I found myself curious about the state of these spiders in your room. As I often am with anything out of the ordinary in the mindscape when it’s not solely imagination based. It only makes sense as the aspect of Thomas for logic. That I would want to know as much as I can, especially if it pertains to himself,” Logan said.
“Logan, you don’t have to justify being curious about something,” Virgil said.
Something shifted briefly in Logan’s face, that was gone in a blink. Logan adjusted his glasses.
“Of course not. I wasn’t doing that. I don’t need to do such a thing,” Logan said.
Virgil found himself wondering if Janus would call Logan out on that were he around. Virgil decided to let it be for now though.
“Okay. Anyways,” Virgil gestured for Logan to get to his point.
Logan nodded again.
“Right, yes. Is it okay with you that I enter your room and observe the spiders in there,” Logan asked.
Virgil blinked. He wasn’t sure why, but that was not what he expected Logan to ask.
Maybe to ask a bunch of questions, given Logan’s love for knowledge. But to actually want to see them? Nobody had ever expressed an interest in something of Virgil’s like that before. He didn’t blame the others for fearing spiders, of course. But it was nice that someone actually wanted to know more about the creatures. And not just want to get rid of them right away.
“Is that all?” Virgil found himself asking.
Logan nodded.
“Yes. I wanted to see how the many spiders behaved in an enclosed environment such as your room. Not to mention if their behaviors compare to real spiders at all. I'm curious to see what that could mean for Thomas’ subconscious,” Logan said.
“Okay. Yeah, you can watch them. But under one condition,” Virgil said and held a finger up.
Virgil could see the excited gleam in Logan’s eye once Virgil had said yes. Logan rolled his shoulders back and re-straightened his posture. But Virgil could still see Logan’s excitement.
“Yes, of course. What is it?” Logan asked.
“You must not harm any of them,” Virgil said more seriously. The others’ dislike of the spiders was not the only reason no one else had gone in since so many spawned. Like Virgil said, most of the spiders were so small. His difficulty keeping track of them made Virgil nervous as well. He wasn’t versed in the proper way to take care of so many spiders. They had started to crawl around before he could get them in an enclosed space for their own safety.
He didn’t want to chance anyone else stepping on them. Especially when he was barely sure about being able to avoid such a thing himself. Plus, even though he doesn’t think anyone would want to upset Virgil, he is well aware of fight-or-flight when it comes to seeing something you are afraid of. He doesn’t think anyone would want to upset Virgil. But one of them could smack a spider instinctively without meaning to.
Nobody had complained about the ban from his room for the time being. Yet, Virgil could see Logan being more careful. Logan had the science knowledge on how to be around critters. And would be more cautious in Virgil’s room anyways.
“If you so much as swing near a spider, I will ban you from my room and from all the spiders,” Virgil continued.
Logan nodded.
“Of course, Virgil. I promise, I mean no harm to your spiders. I will be extra careful,” Logan said.
Virgil’s shoulders untensed and he sighed in relief.
“Okay,” Virgil said. He gestured for Logan to follow him and headed to his room.
He stopped in front of his door and turned around. Then he waved for Logan to step back some. Logan furrowed his brows in confusion but stepped back anyways.
“Okay. So first, I need to make sure none of them are in the way. So there is a clear path to walk in without a chance of anyone getting stepped on. I also ask that you not come in here without me,” Virgil said.
“Of course, Virgil. This is your room. I wouldn’t enter without you unless you said I could.”
Virgil nodded and then carefully opened the door. He quickly looked on the ground and then stepped forward, closing the door behind him. He wanted to make sure none of them could escape from the room. Spiders running rampant through the mindscape was the last thing they needed.
As Virgil looked forward on the ground, he squinted and kneeled to get a better view. There were some on the floor. Looking like little black dots with tiny legs scattering about. He reached forward and gently brushed them to the side. Most of them reacted instantly, scurrying away. Some heading to the closest webs and jumping away. The ones closest to his hands started to climb onto his fingers the moment his warmth came near them.
He sighed at those ones and held his hands to his chest as he stood up. Then he moved his hands to the closest webs at his shoulder level and lead them to cling onto those instead.
Virgil scanned the floor another time to be sure and then turned to the door.
“Okay Logan! You can come in now. Please close the door quickly, and still watch your step the whole time. They move around a lot.”
The door opened and Logan swiftly slipped inside. He closed the door almost as soon as he was in. Honestly, Virgil was impressed.
Logan leaned against the door for a moment. Then he looked down in front of him, before he followed Virgil’s path to the center of the room. Logan walked at a slower pace though as he was looking around at the room.
Virgil’s room tended to have a lot of spider webs and cobwebs, as he liked the aesthetic. But there were way more now. The newer ones were more distinguishable. They had nicer designs and the designs were easier to see. Most of them didn’t block walkways thankfully. But the walls were covered in spiderwebs, along with some corners. And the webs were covered in spiders. They were scurrying about, spinning webs, and crawling along the furniture as well.
Logan looked around himself a lot, as though he couldn’t decide where to focus on.
“Fascinating…” Logan said, “I assumed that others had vastly overestimated the amount in here. Given the other sides’ wariness of spiders.”
Virgil snorted at that.
“Ah, no. The spiders reproduced fast.”
Logan hmmed at that. as he stepped forward to the wall right to their side. He observed a particularly intricate web hanging there.
“Do they always have this much energy?” Logan asked. His thinking face on.
Virgil thought about it.
“I’m not sure actually. There’s always some sort of movement going on, except maybe at night. It’s hard to determine if it’s the same spiders or not though,” Virgil said.
“Yes, I can imagine the sheer amount of them would make discerning that difficult. Now a 24/7 camera on them and careful observation may help with gathering data for that,” Logan muttered.
“I’m not putting a camera in here, Logan,” Virgil said.
Logan waved that off, “Yes, of course not. I was just thinking out loud,” Logan said.
Virgil hmmed at that. He knew Logan wouldn’t breach his privacy, but even bringing up such a thing made Virgil nervous.
Virgil took a breath. Logan continued to mutter to himself aloud. He leaned in closer to the webs than most people tended to, while being mindful not to get stuck in one.
A small hiss got Virgil’s attention, and he glanced to his bedside table. He smiled when he saw his first spider companion sitting there. Virgil walked over and then kneeled so he was eye-level with her.
“Don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten about you,” Virgil said softly.
He had no idea where her mate was though. Probably on one of the ceiling webs or something.
He reached forward slowly before he started to pet her.
He heard Logan come over to them, and then sit on the bed. The bed was one of the few places the spiders didn’t take over in the room. Unless it was night time and they decided to follow mom cuddling with Virgil. Before he has to shoo them away that is.
Virgil shifts so Logan can see, before Virgil puts a hand out in front of the bedside table. He gently coaxes her crawl onto his hand. Virgil felt her little legs tap lightly against his hand as she scurried on. He stood up with her in his hand. Then he turned to face Logan.
“Would you like to meet her?” Virgil asked.
Logan blinks. “Meet her?”
“You know, like pet her and maybe hold her,” Virgil said.
Logan looked at the spider with an awed look.
“Ah…if it is truly okay?” Logan asked.
Virgil nodded and sat beside the other on the bed.
“Yeah, I trust you. Plus, I’m right here in case you change your mind.”
Logan nodded.
“Alright.”
Virgil holds his hand out, and Logan reaches forward hesitantly. He pets her softly, barely even touching her.
“I can’t promise they would all be this chill with petting,” Virgil said. “Even if the others weren’t too small for that anyways. I don’t know them all yet. I haven’t even really tried naming the new ones, as I wouldn’t know how to keep track of which one was who.”
“What is this one’s name then?” Logan asked.
Virgil felt his face warm. Nobody had asked about her name yet, so he hadn’t needed to admit it.
“…Charlotte.”
Logan paused and then smiled.
“Like from the book?” Logan asked.
Virgil sighed.
“Yeah…I named her when I was young, alright? And I thought of the spider friend from the book when I saw her…” Virgil muttered.
“You don’t need to be embarrassed, Virgil. It’s cute,” Logan said, still smiling.
Virgil groaned.
“I don’t want to seem cute,” Virgil said.
“Ah, of course. Having one sentimental name for a pet doesn’t have to take away from your uh, quote ‘toughness’,” Logan said.
“I’ll give the other spiders much cooler names,” Virgil said.
“Of course. I would expect nothing less,” Logan said.
They went back to just focusing on the spider after that.
“It has been a while since Thomas has touched such a creature. Especially given his arachnophobia. I myself never have on my own. I don’t interact with the imagination much,” Logan said after a moment.
Virgil nods.
“I understand. I don’t go out of my way for the twins’ creatures. But it is nice to have my own little companion like this,” Virgil said.
Logan nodded, petting her softly again.
“Yes, I recall there are many positive benefits to having a pet. I can uh,” Logan clears his throat again, “I can see the appeal.”
“Did you want to hold her?” Virgil asked.
Logan inhaled.
“Yes,” He said.
Logan held his hands out.
“Be very careful with her,” Virgil said.
“I will,” Logan said softly.
Virgil quietly encouraged her to crawl onto Logan’s hand. She was much more hesitant to crawl onto Logan’s hand. Charlotte stepped forward at a slower pace as though cautious about the new surface.
Virgil saw Logan refrain from jolting at Charlotte’s first little taps onto his hand. He only twitched briefly. The touches of the little legs tickle, especially if you’re not used to it. Logan’s eyes widened as he looked down at her. After a moment of no more movement, Charlotte continued to crawl onto Logan’s hand.
He slowly brought her closer to his chest, and put his other hand up near the first as a wall to keep her from falling. She spun in a circle on his hand.
Logan’s mouth twitched into a smile at that.
“I think she likes you,” Virgil said.
Logan glanced up, but didn’t look away from her for long.
“How can you tell?” Logan asked.
Virgil shrugged.
“Well for one thing, the fact that she has stayed on your hand. She also hasn’t tried to bite or attack you at all,” Virgil said.
“Was that a concern?” Logan asked.
“I don’t know. Like I said, this hasn’t come up much. She at least doesn’t dislike you or see you as a threat. Probably because she trusts me,” Virgil said.
Logan nodded.
“Do you think she is more intelligent than a real spider? Along with the others around here?” Logan asked.
“I’m not sure. It wouldn’t surprise me though. Considering Thomas’ fear of spiders, these ones are surprisingly friendly. More so than I would expect,” Virgil said.
“That could make it easier for them to exist in the mindscape,” Logan said.
“Perhaps,” Virgil said.
Charlotte stayed put for a moment after doing her spins. She crawled side to side for a moment. But then decided to get brave and started to climb up Logan’s arm.
Logan gasped and froze, clearly unprepared for that.
“Charlotte no!” Virgil exclaimed. He wrapped his hands around her and pulled her off of Logan before she could get past his elbow.
She then proceeded to attempt crawling around his fingers.
“Gah!”
Virgil struggled to get a hold of her again. He ended up using a scientific gentle pinch to hold her still before setting her back down on the bedside table. She moved side to side again before starting to climb up the wall to get to the web there.
Virgil sighed and turned back to Logan.
“Sorry about that. She decided to be in an adventurous mood all the sudden,” Virgil said.
Logan laughed a little.
“It’s fine. Honestly, it was a bit amusing once I realized what was happening. I was only concerned it would be harder to watch out for her when she was crawling about,” Logan said.
 Virgil nodded.
“Yeah, I know what you mean. Which is why it was better to get her off of you. In fact, I think spider visit time may be over now. They may not seem like it, but spiders can actually get quite shy. I wouldn’t want to chance how they would be once they get tired of being around a new person,” Virgil said.
Logan nodded. “Of course. I’m grateful for any amount of time I got with them.”
Logan walked out of the room, Virgil behind him to close the door carefully again.
Logan smiled at Virgil once he was in the hallway.
“Thank you, Virgil. I know that was a bit of an unusual request for you. I don’t take your trust for granted,” Logan said.
Virgil smiled a bit shyly at him.
“No problem, Logan. It’s not that big of a deal. Let me know if you ever wanna swing by again to visit them. Maybe you can help me find a way to name the new ones without going crazy,” Virgil said.
Logan nodded at him.
“Of course. I’d be honored.”

As far as I understand, there is a lot associated with knitting or "weaving threads" in the Thorn Valley.
Sorry, the information is slightly different in different translations. I can't be exact.
What do you think if there is something similar to the traditions of the fabric?
For example, one of the families or kind has a certain pattern that only they can wear. Cage, polka dots, stripes and so on. The use of various techniques for knitting and making high-quality fabrics. Which are passed down from generation to generation, with diagrams and occasionally improved tools.
Maybe there are some family tapestries or canvases that work something like a family tree.
It would be so exciting.
Are there traditions related to the fact that if a fairy /human or any other resident of Thorn Valley knits or spins any thing for his partner / lover, then this is considered the highest indicator of love and sincerity?
The better and more expensive the material, the more "luxurious" the gift will be, as well as the fact that a lot of effort and time have been invested in it, which will be very valuable.
I remember when I was little, I often visited my grandmother (mother on my mother's side) in the village. And they still have an old wooden spinning wheel.
Here is such as in the picture.
Tumblr media
As you can see, it is slightly different from the design that was shown in "Sleeping Beauty"
And I couldn't figure out how it works!And I was a very curious child, take my word for it. Previously, it was used to make wool from sheep wool - wool thread, which was later used for woolen shawls. Very prickly by the way! I never liked them, even though they were very warm. And they also tickled the skin a lot if you were careless and the woolen handkerchief came into contact with bare skin.
From my father's side (his family is also from the village), I know that my grandmother made a beautiful large carpet that hung in our entire wall for a very long time.and she made it by HAND. The carpet was very large and heavy. Oh, I remember how I hated to wash the floors and roll this thing into a roll to remove all the dirt and dust under the carpet. When I was with my grandmother on my mother's side.
ahaha…excuse me…I'm getting carried away.
In any case..
I AM VERY INTERESTED IN THIS SIDE OF TOBOSO-SENSEI. Please give me at least a little information about this.
The idea is that Malleus probably knows about the old traditions associated with yarn, knitting and weaving. Because his staff is a spindle for yarn threads.
Honestly, my dear, I don't understand how you carry this bulky structure every time…????????
It would be very interesting to hear about it. Maybe Sebek would tell you that each of the types of fairies has certain preferences in threads.
Northern or nocturnal,ones pay more attention to warmer and stronger threads, with dark colors to meet the cover of the night. With sharper patterns and often not the most pleasant to the touch.
Southern or "fairies of light" would prefer lighter threads, with bright colors or perhaps even some kind of inserts in the form of beads or feathers. Why not.
Comfort versus practicality, bright colors versus muted. Surely there are even some legends or stories related to this.
Don't mind San just wants to talk about it a bit.

[Well, this was supposed to be my big NWHS/ATOTS review...but I literally made it three minutes in before I got on an epic tangent and now I desperately want to write about and read up on stuff related to the tangent. I haven't desperately wanted to write something for quite some time, now, so the review proper will have to wait - as for now, enjoy ten observations on the first three minutes?]
Whew. Here we go. NWHS/ATOTS, planning to watch it straight through, let's go. It's gonna be intense, but we/I can do it. Probably.
Not What He Seems
Aaand now Stan's irradiated his forehead. No way this could ever have terrible consequences. He's better at lab safety than Ford, sure, but that's...reeeealllly not saying much. However, since Ford, Fiddleford, and Stan should probably have all had much worse side effects from constant improper handling of radioactive materials...maybe it's something about Gravity Falls' weirdness that shields them, or it's just not quite as dangerous in this world?
2. "Minor gravitational anomalies." Ford, that...feels like a bit of an understatement? Ok, so, I expect you could have written down "Stan, do not do the thing, it will make the house fly to Oz and destroy half the town. Yes, Stan, I'm specifically talking to you. Don't do it." and it would not have made any difference, but...'minor' is a relative term....
3. I am kind of impressed with Fiddleford managing to sleep, all things considered. Though who knows how long he's been awake, working on the laptop? I would give ten pretties to know what he knows at this point, though.
5. If I hadn't already done an AU stemming from NWHS, I...might be tempted, now that I think about it, to see what I could come up with in response to "what if Fiddleford had been awake when the laptop indicated the device had just become active?"
6. Ooh, is that a picture of a very young Caryn and Filbrick that the twins run under, after they pass the end table and just before Mabel stops in front of the random door she found? It looks...kinda like them, but also kinda pilgrim-y? But the woman's hairstyle is better suited perhaps for a very young Caryn, timeline-wise, and the pictures are more silhouettes than anything, and the male figure wears its hat very low.
7. Also, wow, does the Shack have a lot of doors or what? Manly Dan definitely should have picked different trees to build the Shack from...that, or the reality-breaker in the basement has started affecting geometry slowly upstairs over the decades. Which is also not a bad idea, I guess.
8. "I am the god of destruction!" More like a significant priestess at best, honestly, Mabel - no shade on you, of course, but when you've got the likes of Stanford "let's punch a hole in reality!" Pines, Stanley "danger, blah-blah-blah, can it, Poindexter!" Pines, Fiddleford "homicidal pterodactyl-bot I made when my wife left me" McGucket, and Bill running around in your setting...the competition is pretty intense, y'know?
9. Though I do wonder now if Mabel ever thought about that line again...if she remembered saying that, say, during the period where it looked more and more like the world might end...or that they might all get arrested...or after she heard that keeping the Portal open did not fix her family...maybe even when she handed "Blendin" the Rift, seeking a perfect endless summer....
10. "Plenty of summer left." "Enjoy it while you can, Stan." Stan really did think the kids might well never forgive him for lying to them all this time, and that's even if he got the real Stanford back alive. If he hadn't...if he hadn't, then he was confronted with the possibility of both the kids cutting him off and not even having the satisfaction of success to cling to. Or anything to cling to, unless you count loads of new guilt, now that he has seeming confirmation that he's responsible for Ford's death. I...do not see that ending well, really.
And yet, he took that chance. He could have decided "it's been so long that the odds of success are very low, and these kids are definitely alive and not too irradiated yet. I could just let this go. Settle for what I've got instead of endangering it for a one-in-a-million shot at getting back what I've lost." But he didn't, even though he was aware of how thoroughly failure really was an option. He was gambling everything at once, with no reserves to get him out of town if the dice landed the wrong way - willing, essentially, to burn the world (certainly his own world, but possibly, y'know...the world) for one person, for no better reason than his own feelings about that person and/or what had happened to that person. And I suspect this is at the root of what I find so interesting about him as a character. There's a reason, after all, why characters like this feature in so much of what's considered Literature, folks. [And here there were tangents; while I'm sure I will one day figure out what the character limit for tumblr posts is, I don't have enough hours in today to do it with]

Penis size and Sexuality in the Natal Chart.
Tumblr media
This is kind of a weird post idea but honestly, it is something I sometimes get curious about. It’s quite ridiculous but goes to show how niche and fine tuned you can get with astrology. When it comes to literal inches, I couldn’t tell you. I’m sure there’s a way to figure that out too, but I’m not at that level, let alone care that much to learn how to be. Looking at a dudes Mars in his chart is good enough to tell me what I need to know about the size of his dick, his masculinity, and how much stamina he possesses.
Disclaimers:
Trigger Warning⚠️: I talk about some sexually sensitive topics here that some may find triggering.
I don’t consider the information in this post unethical. You could know all the astrology in the world, but if you’re not meant to know something, you won’t anyway.
Physical connection can be just as important as an emotional, spiritual, mental or material connection etc. If the latter listed can be looked into for ethical purposes of knowing what you’re getting yourself involved with, then why can’t you be curious about a man’s masculinity. 
Ultimately, I am not using this information to judge or mock men and I am capable of assessing this maturely. At the end of the day, the study of astrology is a tool, and is not conductive in itself. God is above the planets and bigger than astrology, and your ability to use astrology advantageously would be seriously limited if you use it to judge or criticise things without higher moral virtue.
My intention with this post is to teach astrological methods of determining a man’s penis size and sex drive, and how that can relate to his overall masculinity and I condone this information being used to mock or degrade men without good reason.
_______
So Mars is the planet we will be focusing on in this post. Why? Mars rules men. It also rules war, penetration, drive, action, sports, force, anger etc. If you look at the Sun’s glyph (☉) it shows the soul, or who we are at the centre and the light we shine into the world. Now using this as a baseline, if you look at the glyph of Mars (♂) it looks like it has a literal erect dick coming out of it, pointing upwards as it symbolises the ‘upper grip of existence’. It has also been compared to a spear coming out of a shield. This is not random. Compare to the Venus glyph (♀). The cross below the circle points to a lower grip of existence, in which her power is underlying, passive and receptive. 
Now we know what Mars is about, you wanna find out what Mars is doing in the natal chart. That is, what sign he’s in, who he aspects and any other miscellaneous details that could add to the picture. 
Mars in a sign would be descriptive of his actual nature, whereas the aspects will add to how this is expressed. 
So let’s say if Mars was in Taurus, you can expect slower and more thorough, sensual experiences. With Mars in Aries, in his own sign, you could expect more fast, direct and spontaneous encounters and they are unlikely to hold back. They may sometimes be aggressive but the aspects would further clarify this. Mars in Cancer will likely be more sentimental and caring in such a scenario. Mars in Capricorn would take its time and would be more interested in distinct roles of domination/submission. 
Nevertheless, sex is made up of more than just Mars, and a whole chart analysis would have to be made to see that. 
More importantly, let’s get to aspects, because this is where the size can be shown.
Mars Aspects
One of the most common factors found in men who are “well-endowed” is Jupiter in aspect to Mars. Jupiter expands whatever he touches, so in this case, his masculinity.
Saturn in aspect to Mars on the other hand will tend to constrain, especially in hard aspect. Saturn in this way can block or restrict Mars’ masculine expression, and as a result give a smaller dick.
A Saturn trine or sextile, with coupling power aspects could rather show a sense of endurance and stamina which helps support Mars. As you may know, Mars is exalted in Capricorn which is ruled by Saturn, and because his actions are paced, he will therefore have energy to preserve and last longer.
What happens if let’s say Jupiter is square Mars, but there is also a Saturn opposition? You take it both into account. In this case, you may likely find a grower on your hands. 
Neptune Mars aspect may be inclined to lie or glamourise his manhood somehow, especially if unsupported by power enhancing aspects. He may be quite passive and submissive when it comes to ‘walking the walk’. The most extreme stereotype I can think of with this is a man who acts assertive and dominant in the outer world or from a distance but when nobody’s watching he tries on a wig and his wife’s bra in secret. Although please look at the chart overall as this connection in itself would not tell you this about a man. Either way there is some unclear passive quality about this Mars aspect, in that he may express his sexuality through daydreaming about sex rather than acting upon it or having astral sex intentionally or unintentionally if he is not spiritually attuned. Often, sex is better in fantasy than in reality for someone with this in hard aspect. He may even resort to using performance enhancing drugs as Neptune rules drugs and masking of some sort. 
Pluto Mars, on the other hand, is really something. Pluto can generate a lot of energy and force to Mars in a way a lot of other planetary bodies can’t, but it really depends on other aspects. Suppose Pluto squares Mars, giving an INTENSE desire, even obsession with sex, but Mars conjuncts Saturn. This will likely show that despite all this energy, you are being blocked off somehow, and will probably just result in prolonged blueballs (ouch). Pluto, nevertheless, will give a strong obsessive pushing drive. Might I say, borderline r*pey, and may be into BDSM type shit. Though note that Pluto Mars in itself will not show you a rapist. You will have to determine if the person in question is an actual piece of shit who feels entitled to someone else’s body to determine that. Just because someone is forceful doesn’t mean they are intrinsincally a rapist. A rape can happen without Pluto’s influence as not all rape is through force. Rape is about disrespecting someone’s boundries and this can happen through deception too, ie Neptune. Anyway so long story short, Pluto by himself would not necessarily show a big dick and can go either way, but would rather show a very powerful and intrusive one. 
Honourable mentions - the 8th House/Pluto himself. 
The 8th house and Pluto rules our genitals also so it only makes sense to look there as well when assessing this. As you can imagine, Jupiter here also gives a good sign of a well-endowed man. 
Likewise, Jupiter aspecting the 8th House ruler or cusp should be taken into consideration. 
Mars and Pluto being in the 8th House generates energy into this area so that is also something to look out for.
Aries, Scorpio or Sagittarius influencing the 8th House may also add to size. 
Likewise, Mars or Jupiter in the signs of Scorpio can also be factored in. 
Mars or Jupiter in the 1st House even could add as it relates to the man himself as he is.
Obviously, with Pluto taking a very long time to change signs, it will not be worth looking at this unless you want to compare how one generation compares to another. Nevertheless, the house Pluto is in can detail things more clearly, but if you haven’t managed to link the previously mentioned factors in, it might not be worth investigating too much. Pluto in the 6th House in conjunction to Chiron for example, may just show some sort of medical problem related to your genitals rather than anything about size. Maybe Pluto in the 1st House might matter if not in the 8th, as Pluto in the 1st House will likely show a man who possesses a lot of natural power in his identity anyway, so if explored, you may find some other factors in the natal chart to clarify how that relates to his dick.

Hi, I have a question. I am a beginner witch. I have just moved out of my parents home to the city. I have one other roommate. He is about 10 years older than me. But he is very emotionally manipulative. He is very much stuck in a victim mindset. He also considers the common spaces (kitchen, toilet, bathroom) to be actually 'his' spaces. They are not. He keeps all his dirty dishes in the kitchen. He hasn't cleaned those dishes in three weeks. Because of the space they take up, I'm unable to cook, and I can barely clean my own dishes. He doesn't clean anything. Mold has started to grow in some of the cabinets. The filter of the extractor hood is completely burned, and needs to be replaced. He leaves his dirty clothes on the floor of the bathroom. Despite all of this, he claims to be very hygienic and he has told me I need to clean my stuff otherwise there will be problems. Every time I bring anything of this up he goes into victim mode and gets defensive. He talks down to me because I'm younger than him.
I have also reason to believe he has come into my room without my permission while I was at university. He gets angry every time I get any normal necessities. He got angry when I got a doorbell for myself. Or when I got an air freshener (he smokes a lot. He says he only smokes outside, but the entire home smells like cigarettes). But in general, the way the common space is now, is simply unhealthy. He also lies a lot, and he doesn't keep his promises.
He has had a number of other roommates before me, and all of them have left. But I really need this space. I really don't want to go back home, because my father is verbally abusive. I feel emotionally unsafe around my roommate, and I would like to have some protective spells around so I could feel safer. Also to stop him from trying to emotionally manipulate me. Do you know any good protective spells for a beginner witch? I can't use fire.
First and foremost, thank you for sharing this with me. If you need to share further, my inbox is always open. I'm so sorry that you are dealing with this!
Second, I don't think this should be dealt with in a magical manner to start, especially if your safety is at risk at all. You said that he may be intruding on your space and is unclean (causing mold) which can be toxic!
Is there anyone you are close to (perhaps both in relation and location) that can help work this out with you further (i.e., close friend, family, landlord, law enforcement if necessary)? I don't know how I would be able to assist you with something like this being a figure on the internet. I want you to be safe.
So that's about all I can do regarding the mundane side of things, but let's look at the mystical side.
Wards are super important in cases like this. They are strong protective barriers that you can set up around a specific area like your room or designated space.
Here's a simple protective spell that you can perform as a beginner witch without using fire:
Salt Barrier Spell Materials needed: -> Sea salt or regular table salt -> Small bowl or dish -> Your intention and focus Instructions: 1. Begin by cleansing your space. You can do this by lighting some incense, using a cleansing spray made of water and essential oils, or simply by visualizing white light filling the room and dispelling any negativity. 2. Take the salt and pour it into the small bowl or dish. 3. Hold the bowl of salt in your hands and close your eyes. Take a few deep breaths to center yourself. 4. Visualize a bright, protective light surrounding you and your living space. You can imagine this light as a glowing bubble or a shield of energy. 5. While holding this visualization, infuse the salt with your intention for protection. You can silently repeat affirmations such as, "I am safe and protected in my home," or "Negative energies are repelled by this salt barrier." [please adjust this to whatever intention you feel is necessary for your situation. A spell is not about the ingredients, but about the intention you put into it.] 6. Once you feel that the salt is charged with your intention, sprinkle it around the perimeter of your room or apartment. You can also place small bowls of salt in the corners of the room for added protection. 7. As you sprinkle the salt, visualize a strong barrier forming, preventing any negative energy or unwanted influences from entering your space. 8. After creating the salt barrier, take a moment to express gratitude for the protection it provides. 9. Leave the salt in place for as long as you feel necessary. You can replenish it periodically or refresh the spell whenever you feel the need.
Here is another option that is confined to a jar, without salt around the room.
Jar Protection Spell: Materials needed: -> A small jar with a lid -> Salt (preferably sea salt or regular table salt) -> Bay leaves (dried or fresh) -> Your intention and focus Instructions: 1. Begin by cleansing the jar and its lid. You can do this by washing them with soap and water, or by wiping them down with a cleansing solution such as vinegar or alcohol. 2. Take a moment to center yourself and focus your intention on creating a protective barrier around your living space. 3. Fill the bottom of the jar with a layer of salt. Salt has long been used for its purifying and protective properties in various spiritual traditions. 4. Place a few bay leaves on top of the salt layer. Bay leaves are believed to have protective qualities and can help to ward off negative energies. 5. As you add each bay leaf, visualize a shield of protection forming around your room, preventing any negative influences from entering. 6. Continue layering salt and bay leaves until the jar is full, alternating between the two materials. 7. Once the jar is filled, seal it tightly with the lid. 8. Hold the jar in your hands and infuse it with your intention for protection. You can silently repeat affirmations such as, "This jar creates a barrier of safety and security around me," or "Negative energies are repelled by the contents of this jar." [Again, please adjust this to whatever intention you feel is necessary for your situation. As always, a spell is not about the ingredients, but about the intention you put into it.] 9. Place the jar in a prominent location in your room, such as on a shelf or bedside table. 10. Whenever you feel the need for extra protection, you can hold the jar in your hands and focus your intention on reinforcing the protective barrier it represents. This jar protection spell harnesses the power of salt and bay leaves to create a shield of protection around your living space. It's a simple yet effective way to ward off negative energies and maintain a sense of safety and security in your environment. Trust in the power of your intention and the natural properties of the ingredients to support you in creating a harmonious and protected space.
Remember, the power of any spell ultimately comes from your intention and focus. Trust in your own abilities as a beginner witch, and know that you have the capability to create positive change in your life and surroundings. Additionally, while protective spells can provide a sense of security, it's also important to address the practical aspects of your living situation and consider finding a long-term solution that ensures your safety and well-being. Whether that involves setting boundaries with your roommate, seeking support from friends or authorities, or finding alternative living arrangements, prioritize your own comfort and safety above all else.
Please reach out if you need to send another ask or send me a message in my DMs. Again, thank you for sharing your situation with me. I hope you are able to create a safe and healthy environment for yourself. 🤍✨🕊️

today is my first full non-workday alone in over three weeks and I give myself full permission to savor it without any guilt or sense of obligation to anyone. here are some things I’d like to do:
read the last 40 pages of ninth house
get a decent ways into nona the ninth so I don’t interrupt my novel-reading rhythm. I might take my hammock somewhere to read later tbd as I find that putting my phone out of reach and having dedicated hammock time is a good way to jumpstart the next book
last night I started messing around with an old WIP that I meant to finish for a fest last summer but didn’t, which I still think has some interesting stuff in it (not to mention about 20k of existing draft material to work with). I can’t tell if I’m intrigued enough by it to start the revision process but I do notice that every time I open the draft doc I end up adding to it, so idk. I also have this other purely self-indulgent fantasy AU that has just been a fun world to play in for the last couple weeks when I needed a distraction, so I might tinker around with that a bit more too. so maybe I’ll sit out on the deck at some point with my laptop and play play play for a bit
I want to cook something, probably while on the phone with liz… she sent me a cookbook recently that I liked a lot and I want to try a few of the small plates recipes from it either today or tomorrow
on a related note I want to sit down and do some journaling about the next steps in my learning to cook journey. I’m at the point where I feel confident in my ability to execute easy to moderately complex recipes well & with consistent results—ie if I make the same dish multiple times it’ll taste reasonably good the first time, better the second time when I incorporate the modifications I came up with, and pretty consistently good every time I make it after that. I also feel like once I read a recipe all the way through I don’t need to consult it very often during the cooking process because I’m less focused on what’s on the page and am instead tasting and testing and monitoring what’s happening with the food & adjusting accordingly. but I would really like to become the kind of cook who can look at the ingredients at hand & prepare a meal without a recipe or with only the loose outlines of a recipe based on my understanding of how things fit together and what the components of a good meal are. and I think in order to level up in that way I will really have to sit down and start designing some structured learning challenges for myself, and I’ll also need to build in lots of metacognitive writing along the way to make sure I’m consolidating what I’m learning and applying it to future situations. anyway this is the kind of self-teaching/learning design work I love and I am excited to spend some time thinking about it this weekend.
nice long walk with the dogs… maybe on the off leash trail in the “weekend woods” aka the nearby trail system I for some reason only visit on weekends even though it’s like a 3 min drive from my house lol. Pip will love that
that’s it today is just a day of rest and play!!

Japanese Sword Production Lore As It Relates to Kimetsu no Yaiba – Master List
Master List of Teppi’s Adventures in Raw Sword Production
A very surface level look at transforming raw materials into something you can make a sword out of, looked at through the lens of KnY, with other tidbits of Swordsmith Village Lore throughout (especially names and names). This information is especially thanks to the Okuizumo Tatara Sword Museum (which has become a KnY hotspot for a black sword displayed there) and the Itohara Family Memorial, a historical iron making site. (Links shall be added momentarily) Part 1: Teppi is sent to Mt. Youkou and sees how Shoujouhi iron sand is gathered Part 2: Teppi gets put to work on making charcoal and clay Part 3: Teppi helps build and work the Tatara furnace for three exhausting days Part 4: Teppi sees the general process from kera to katana
Additional resources for nerds, KnY fic writers, or viewers who want to more deeply appreciate Nichirin blades (and Haganezuka says that should be all of you):
Please note, this is merely scratching the surface; it would be impossible to slice through all the Nihonto resources out there with a single starter list. I hope it covers a wide range of Nihonto topics helpful to both beginners and not-beginners. I am a not-beginner, but not at all any sort of expert whatsoever.
Text Based: An explanation of Nihonto and what makes them beautiful, written by the Former Senior Managing Director of the Society for Preservation of Japanese Art Sword & the associated Japanese Sword Museum. This society is best source for all things Nihonto related and a major reason we still get creative new blades to enjoy. This article is lengthy, but it’s the best place to start as a Nihonto nerd. A good glossary and diagrams of the different functional and structural parts of Nihonto Look, some jihada examples, pretty. Videos: A 10 minute, wordless overview of the Tatara process—basically what I’ve written about for Teppi but you get to watch it all unfold. A very ASMR video of sword polishing, to better appreciate Haganezuka’s battle in the Swordsmith Village Arc (includes English text in the video to explain some parts) Or, if you want the sword polishing process with English commentary (granted, it’s very dated sound quality): A beautiful video of basics of Japanese sword appreciation. Very clear and informative! …That is, if you speak Japanese. You can get auto-translations of the auto-generated Japanese subtitles, but those can be spotty. A much more detailed video, fully in English, taking apart the blade to better appreciate it. Excellent explanations both for beginners and not-beginners. Science! The light version explaining the curvature of a Japanese blade, with cool clips of the curve happening underwater. Science! The heavy version explaining the Hamon. I hope you like hearing about carbon. Oh, you want something more specific to Kimetsu no Yaiba? Was my conjecture not enough for you? Well, here’s a short one that’s been going around, proof of concept on the cutting ability of Inosuke’s sword, thank you, you excited nerds (Genya’s gonna be so upset about those watermelons though). And then when you’ve got a who-o-o-le lot more time on your hands, HOLY FUDGE, THIS GUY MADE IGURO’S SWORD. Not only that, he’s got video after video after video after video of the very, very, very extensive process of making the sword. You know what really blows me away? EVERY VIDEO HAS ENGLISH SUBTITLES AND THEY ARE GOOD. (Taisho Secret reminder from Chapter 190: Iguro’s sword was produced by Tecchikawahara’s son Gantetsu, with a special folding sheath that opens upward instead of drawing it out through the koiguchi (“carp mouth” because of its shape) like normal single-curve katana.) A note from a fanfic writer to other fanfic writers: There are no limits to nerdery. I fully encourage you to be a nerd. Go! Unleash yourself! Be a nerd! However, you can never assume that your readers have as much knowledge as you, or that they are there for a science or history lesson (though I assumed everyone who read Teppi’s adventure is here to learn). While being rich with details can draw people into your writing, don’t feel pressure to understand everything about a topic like Nihonto, because you don’t need to use everything in the topic. That daunting we don't need to do that to ourselves. Your readers are there for plot and characters (or lack of plot, even), so my advice is to use only as much detail as serves the readers’ enjoyment. Am I guilty of too much sword detail? Yes. Sometimes. I’m sure I am.

what makes you think stewy has a significantly deeper capacity for love than the roys? in the context of them all being part of the same parasitic landscape it kinda feels like comparing a guy who's 85% soulless to the guys who are 96% soulless which ig is still a difference but not rly a meaningful one
no yeah that’s a valid perspective! i think that (a small part of) stewy is in denial over how much he cares, which makes him “fit” w the roys and the professionals that surround him more seamlessly (always a performer); he knows how to act to get what he wants (something the roys do not know how to do all the time). he shows his love with varying degrees of “social normalcy” (physical touch vs for example the trojan horse) just as the roys do (any of the times they kiss each other upon meeting up vs hug of death to put roman down in the finale). a lot of this comes down to performance vs honesty. the siblings’ love for each other, for all their other neuroses, tends to be honest. we don’t know enough about stewy to absolutely say the same.
we could dissect every second of screen time to determine the ways kendall roman and shiv are able versus unable to “perform” or “exhibit” love per social standards and structures and we still wouldn’t have clear answers—**and it really doesn’t fucking matter how they show the love because the love is undeniably there!!!!** the tit-for-tat would be endless: stewy does show his love in socially typical ways (which is up to interpretation as well!! you could think he’s being primarily manipulative when he touches ken on screen. i just don’t think that personally); the roys MATCH HIM in that sense—a hug after daddy dies, holding hands to tell their brother the news: the tragedy of losing someone who they needed MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE to love them is the inciting action for them falling onto the next most similar form of love: their siblings. thus the development of the sibs’ relationships through s4, clinging then pushing away, kissing and biting, their father’s children all the way through. we don’t get to see stewy with anyone other than the roys, sandies, the old guard, hired staff, and briefly & from a distance josh. so there’s not much in the source material to prove he has a greater capacity for love! which is why i totally understand where you’re coming from!
i really don’t want this to seem like i think all the roys are is monstrous. if you’ve spent 2 seconds on my blog you know i don’t think that so i am assuming you’re asking this in good faith!!!!
to pivot slightly, when i write about kenstewy’s love specifically, i’m not saying stewy’s love is “better” or “worth more” or “realer” than the roys’, but i think STEWY feels like it means that—specifically he thinks he loves kendall better than anyone else does. since i write so much from stewy’s perspective i bet it seems like i’m saying that all the time lol, and when i write from kendall’s perspective i write him in a way where he’s obsessed w how much he loves stewy & stewy loves him, because to his father/family it WAS quantifiable. ratable. whatever
**for the sake of this discussion, i will say again that i don’t think for a moment such a thing as love/an amount of love can be literally numerically quantified!! & to be super clear i also strongly believe it has NO relation to one’s morality.** so i’m not saying stewy is a better person. everything i’ve said on this topic is meant to support the thesis that the enormous amount of love the roys invest in their father impacts the way they are able to show love to all other characters. i think stewy loves the shit out of his family; i also think kendall is the most important person in his life. i think kendall loves the shit out of stewy; i also think his family are the most important people in his life.
i don’t have super concrete views on the topic, as i think this answer demonstrates!
tl;dr the real reason i feel this way is because of the soul arian instills into the performance. it’s less what’s on paper and more what he brought in his dark lambent eyes

So I Got Cleo's G3 Doll
Here's my thoughts under the cut. Just wanna put a disclaimer that I am someone who doesn't consider themself a fan of Gen 3, but is keeping an open mind. So just keep that in mind as you read, I am biased and do compare her to the G1 dolls, but I try to give credit where credit is due.
Like I said previously, I love the doll itself. Her face up is pretty (mine does have a slight imperfection, but its subtle enough that I'm not bothered by it), her hair is pretty, her skin tone and the shimmer they added to it are beautiful. I love her new body as well, though I do wish her torso and neck were a little longer. Specifically I love her big ears and hands. I do like G1 Cleo's hand pose a little bit more, but overall her new hands are great, and because they're bigger they're easier to remove. And finally, this will probably be an unpopular opinion, but I could do without the chest articulation in place of something else, like a doll stand.
I can't say much on the quality of her hair as it's not something I'm all that knowledgeable about. All I can say is that it feels more...plasticy? Compared to her G1 doll's hair. I'm having a hard time getting it to stay flat. I also think it's kinda odd that they seemingly made it a point to give all the dolls long brushable hair, but didn't provide brushes. Don't get me wrong, I have an abundance of Monster High brushes and don't need any more, but kids brand new to the series don't. And as someone with nieces, I can say for sure that they love brushing doll hair. I feel like doll stands and hair brushes are pretty standard things for dolls to come with nowadays, especially at that price range.
I'm very amused at how much she looks like Nefera, in the sense that the two of them look even more related than G1 Cleo and Nefera. It does look to me as though they took more inspiration from Nefera's G1 design more than Cleo's, which is interesting. I also discovered that Nefera's shoes, though they don't fit, match G3 Cleo's outfit pretty well, aside from the black in them.
Speaking of G3 Cleo's outfit...that's where my biggest disappointment lies.
I haven't exactly been subtle about my dislike for her boots. They don't go with the style of her dress, and overall I think giving a character who grew up in a hot desert climate boots is a super weird choice. On top of that I don't find them to be flattering on her new leg molds. Her calves are much thicker now, and adding thick boots to them really accentuates it and makes her look slightly awkward and disproportionate. However the actual quality of them is pretty good. There's a decent amount of detail, and I appreciate that the slit in the back of them doesn't go all the way up so they can't lose their shape, which is actually an issue I have with a couple G1 dolls. I would say the same for her accessories, they're well detailed and the paint job on them is really nice.
Her dress is where things take a nosedive. I think before I was so distracted by how much I disliked her boots that I didn't pay that much attention to her dress. But now that I have her and have felt the material I'm really disappointed by it. I don't know what material was used to make it, but I can assure it's plastic and pretty cheap feeling. Compared to G1 Cleo's clothes it feels like a cheap costume. I will say this material is probably more play proof, but I do have G1 Cleo's basic outfit, which is over ten years old by now, and her jumpsuit still looks brand new, and the material is so soft. It feels like real clothes. And compared to other modern doll lines the quality of her dress is kinda embarrassing. They couldn't have used a nicer material?? And aside from that, she has this new beautiful body mold, I would have really hoped that they'd have given her an outfit to accentuate it a bit more, like Draculaura's does.
Interestingly, I think her outfit in the show and on the box art would look better on her doll, and her doll's outfit would look better on her 3D model.
tldr; the doll is gorgeous, she should have come with a brush and a doll stand, her accessories are well detailed, and the quality of her dress is cheap.

Family bonding :)

beginning
Words: 1001
The entire warehouse looked as if a herd of elephants stormed in. Anything that didn’t happen to be strapped or bolted onto the floor was scattered all over the room, creating a terrible mess that made it hard to find Terry, Cindy, and Milo. 
“Damn,” Spoiler murmured, shifting through the wreckage surrounding the machine (which currently lay in a state of disrepair of exposed wires, melted metal, and oozing radiation). “This is terribly built machine.”
“You can say that again.” Reaper chirped through the comlink, “I found the blueprints of this thing. This thing is a laser–”
“Are you saying my brother got vaporized?!” Robin shrieked, “Oh God! What am I going to tell my mom?! Do I hand her Terry’s ashes?!” he frantically began to search through the mess for the remains of his brother. 
Spoiler gently grabbed Matthew by the shoulders and pulled him close to her before wrapping her arms around him, “Chill Matt-Bat,” 
“As I was saying–” Reaper continued, “the laser should’ve stopped lasering the moment the ray made any contact with organic material.”
“Well, seeing as the entire warehouse is covered in radiation, I don’t think the laser lasered right.” Spoiler commented. 
“There could’ve been an explosion,” Robin retorted mournfully, pointing at the destroyed laser. 
“If there happened to be an explosion, the entire warehouse would have been blown to bits.”
The preteen paused, taking the information into consideration. 
“The laser malfunctioned,” Spoiler concluded. 
“Which means Terry, Cin, and Milo are alive.”
Matt's knees nearly gave out in relief, “Great. Where are they? Did they find their way back to the Batcave?”
“Bruce would’ve told us if they were with him,” Spoiler pointed out, fishing out a Batarang from the wreckage. 
“Something’s off,” Reaper murmured, “I’m going to regroup with you then we’re going to Tim’s. He’s smart enough to know what went wrong with this thing.”
“Shouldn’t you tell Damian that Milo and Cindy are missing before he finds out himself?” Spoiler queried. 
Reaper inhaled sharply, “I wouldn’t want to stress him out more than he already is.”
Matt knew that was code for: “My husband is like five minutes away from killing someone and I really don’t want him to do that.” 
“Yikes. Welp, to Tim’s we go.”
. . . . 
“How come I’m not the favorite?!” Dick whined, watching mournfully as the time-travelers fawn over Jason. 
Damian clicked his tongue, “Are you sure that they’re related to us, Father?”
Bruce grunted, “I checked Milo’s DNA, he’s my grandson.”
“Grandson?” Cass chirped from the corner, her dark eyes glinting with curiosity. 
“Who’s the father?” Jason asked, continuing the rest of Cass’s unsaid question. He stared at Milo strangely. 
“Alfred and I have our suspicions.” Bruce mused, glancing over to Damian. 
Terry sat by Cassandra, wearing Jason’s helmet. “This is so fucking cool.” 
“Language, Master Terry.” Alfred chided, placing the leftover cookies in the cookie jar.
“Sorry Alfred.” 
Cassandra nodded in agreement, “Makes voice scary.”
“How do you even turn on the voice modifier?” Cindy wondered. She got up from her seat and walked over to Terry and Cass. “Hey, Auntie.”
Cass beamed. 
“There’s a little switch– hold on, I’ll show you.” Jason gently passed Milo to Dick before walking over to the corner. 
“Who’s Batman in the future?” Dick asked the boy. 
Milo’s face scrunched up, “I don’t think there’s any harm in telling you…” 
“Terry was the one in the other Batman suit, correct?” Damian commented. 
“He’s Batman of Gotham, but Cassandra is also Batman– er, well Batwoman but you get the idea.” 
A happy gasp rang out from the corner. 
“Should’ve seen that coming…” Bruce mumbled. 
Alfred softly chuckled, “Now don’t make that face Master Damian, I’m sure the future has something great planned out for you” 
The pouting 12-year-old looked at Milo, who now stood beside him. “So who am I in the future?”
Milo politely ignored his question. 
“Welp, I’m going to return to my apartment, Bab’s probably waiting for me.” Dick announced, grabbing his coat and ruffling Damian’s hair, “You coming, Jay?” 
“Yeah, I have a thing with the Outlaws tomorrow,” Jason responded, getting up from his spot and cracking his back. 
Terry sadly gave Jason his helmet back, “It was nice seeing you.” he said. 
“I’ll be back, don’t worry Batman of the Future.” the older man joked. 
Terry smiled back, “Sure, and visit Bruce more. He becomes a grumpy old man later in life.”
“Sure sounds like him,” Dick snickered, opening the door for Jason and closing it behind him; hence, leaving Bruce, Alfred, Damian, Cass, Milo, Terry, and Cindy alone. 
Bruce rolled his eyes, “I’m not that grumpy, right?” he asked Alfred. 
“I will neither confirm nor deny that information Master Bruce.” the butler hummed. 
Cindy yawned, “I’m beat. Do you guys stay up all night or–?”
“Sleep is for the weak,” Damian growled. 
The siblings shared a knowing glance that easily translated to: “Since when did he become a stickler for bedtime?”
“I’m fairly sure some of Miss Stephanie’s clothes will fit you, Miss Cindy. As well, I think Master Milo and Master Damian are of similar size–”
Damian interrupted Alfred’s train of thought with a sharp Tt.
“And Master Terry could fit into some of Master Dick’s clothes. I shall see what I can do.”
Cass latched onto Cindy’s arm, “Share room.”
“She seems fond of you,” Terry commented.
“I was her Robin for like– 3 years?” Cindy retorted. 
Cass grinned widely, “Robin?”
“Yeah, I lasted wayyyy longer than Milo.”
“It was for a year.” the boy hissed, his face red, “And I thought we agreed that we weren’t supposed to tell anyone about their future!”
“You started it!” Cindy protested. 
“How could either of you two be Robin?” Damian asked, crossing his arms and glaring at the two. 
“Not now Da–” Milo coughed loudly, trying to cover up his mistake. 
Terry loudly clapped his hands together, “We should get some sleep.” 
Bruce sighed, “This is going to be a long night.” he muttered, rubbing his temples.

Sadly baby mouse died overnight. I am not shocked after how quickly he deteriorated yesterday. I just hope he was comfortable in the end. I feel really bad. But I tried my best. I really did. I would bury him with his brother in the clover pot.
I felt sad this morning because of that. I hadn't slept bad. And let myself sleep until 9. When I woke up I had a sore throat. It's like deep in the base of my skull. Which might be be allergies but it for sure not comfy.
I got dressed. And tried to feel fine. I cleaned up all the mouse stuff. Said goodbye. Tried to feel normal.
I had a little breakfast. And I worked on the sweater project. I decided that it's not the right shape. Which is alright. It was a fun try and I will move on to the next project now. I am not sure what that will look like but I'm looking forward to trying to make something else
My hands need a little break I think though and I might do some sewing to get ready for the Christmas market. Or draw some new bears. We will see.
I would chill on the couch after I vacuumed up the yarn fluff I got all over the living room. I thought about cleaning but then I was just a bit paralyzed. I was tired and couldn't do anything. So I didn't. I had a deviled egg. I ran downstairs to get a package for a neighbor when the doorbell rang. I laid in bed for a little while.
I got up at 12 and finished getting ready. I put my shoes on. And I was off. I said hello to my neighbor outside. And drove to awah.
I put on music to hype myself up. And got there early. I was most of the way set up when Zoe got there.
It was a fun day. I was really pleased to see the sisters back from the spring who I really like. I also just really liked the project. We were talking about geometric shapes and colors and patterns. And everyone seemed really into it. Which I always love. I just want everyone to have fun. And this was a good one.
Me and Naomi also made some art to encourage the teens. One of the sister, Tiffany, loved the black outlines on my art and asked if she could do it too. Of course!! She seemed so excited, it was so sweet. Her sister, Sierra, held my hand and told me she was afraid of bees. She also was very concerned with the dates of the class which I think is very sweet. She just wants to know what's up, which I can absolutely relate too.
We had a lull between groups and were able to reset. I had a nice conversation with Mary Ellen about what puhtok does and the group I work with on Tuesdays with profoundly disabled students. She got a little misty! I was surprised but I also got it.
The adult class was fun. I had a nice conversation with Andrew and his dad about how Andrew has such a beautiful eye for color and his work reminds me of Hilma af Klint. Which I think made Andrew flattered.
I also just had some nice interactions with Richard and his aid. About pop art and painting. It was a fun class.
Me and Naomi would chat about her trip next weekend and how we have no class. It'll be nice to have a free Sunday. And we were pretty good at reminding people about it. Hate to mess up any of their routines, I know how important that is for them, but everyone seems mostly chill about it.
It would take a little bit to get all of the materials out away. Andrew and Brian had helped us bring things to the table and I got everything put away. Chatted with Andrew's dad. But soon it was time to go.
I remembered to alarm the building. And then walked to my car. Which was surprisingly warm. I took my sweater and socks off. And wrote my notes for the class while the ac cooled down the car.
I I went to target. I was originally going to go this morning but I am glad I waited. It was fun. But it was also incredibly busy. Target was having some kind of sale if you used the app. Which finally pushed me to download the app.
And I saved so much??? I had $18 in Cashback on my account I didn't know about and a $5 gift card, plus 30% off half my items. I ended up getting a $95 order for $58! That's crazy!
I did really good sticking to my list. But I also treated myself to a beautiful green fleece jacket that I love. Its so soft. And if we use girl math, with my discounts today I got it for free.
Of course it's way to warm to wear it. But in the coming weeks I am sure it's going to be great.
I paid after waiting on a very long line. Almost left the store without getting the security tag taken off the fleece but after the door beeped at me twice I went back and got it fixed. Oops.
I dropped off my purchases in the car and walked to five below. Which was also to busy but it was fine. I did not have luck finding what I was looking for. The final items on my list. Pimple patches and brown sugar chapstick. I still had fun looking around.
I remembered I had a $10 gift card for Ulta so I walked next door and had great luck. I found a new brand of patches that weren't expensive and the brown sugar chapstick! Which had a redesigned package so I'm glad I was able to find it even if it didn't look like I expected from the old packaging.
The girl at the counter was excited for me that my total was $4 after my gift card. Excellent. Love a deal. She also helped me fix my Ulta account that wasn't set up correctly. Why it had my Minnesota address and my brother's name I will never know. Weird weird weird.
I walked to the Michaels next. No luck on the strap material but I found a few other little things I was excited about. Some ribbon and super glue. A cup and a wall hook shaped like a heart. I had a coupon for there too. I was doing really good today.
I got a piece of candy while I was there and ate that while I walked back to the car. And then home.
It was a nice drive back. And I was really happy to be back. I was tired.
James was playing DND with their friends. I put things away and laid on the couch with sweetp. James said they would play for another hour. And once that hour was up I requested they get off and have dinner with me. So they did.
They would run to the store to get dressing. And then we had a salad, fries, and grilled cheeses for dinner. James just made one dinner that we shared and it was very sweet. I love my husband.
I have been hanging out all evening. Texting Celia about how whimsy is the best prevention for COVID. Sweetp was being a little cutie cuddling me. I got a shower. James and me are in bed now. I am very much ready for sleep.
James told me that they are very sorry that baby mouse died. But they feel like taking care of him healed something in them for the mouse tests they had to do in highschool. I am glad that we tried. I am sad but I know we showed kindness and that is important to me.
Tomorrow we are taking Sweetp to the vet for a check up. He is to fat so I am expecting them to tell us that. But besides that I think we are just having a chill day. I hope it is restful.
Sleep well everyone. Wash your hands and take care of eachother.

Happy late vore day! I offer a chunk of story which is the result of and setup for people getting eaten, but which itself contains 0% vore.
Contains: implied non-permanent death. Some vauge body horror-ish descriptions. I think that's it.
--
"Bones."
Curious at the call of their name, Bones seeps to the mouth of their cave, appearing as if materializing from the dark. Green is standing silhouetted in the cave entrance. They're hunched over, clutching their torso with one hand. Their tail lashes behind them.
"What did you do to me?"
Bones lumbers over to give Green a good look, though they keep some distance.
"I don't know what you mean."
"I'm starving."
"Eat something, then."
"You think I haven't? You think I haven't tried?"
"Maybe." Bones rolls a few of their eyes, "..Either way, I don't see how it's my fault."
Green spits, "It's your fault because you didn't put me back right after you killed me."
"..I hardly think has any relation to-"
Green lunges and clambers up Bones' side to look the entity in the eye themself.
"Fix it." they hiss.
"Er-" Bones stutters, caught off guard. They wonder if they might still slink away from the lizard. "I... Can't."
Green's grip tightens. "What do you mean, 'you can't'!?"
"I, ah... hm." Bones considers. "You seem to have me mistaken for someone else. I couldn't 'fix' you if I wanted to." Green narrows their eyes, so Bones adds, "But, ah, it can't be that bad, right? I did my best. You've got all your fingers and teeth, I think."
Green digs their claws into Bones and bares their teeth. Bones blinks, and wordlessly sinks the eye Green is looking at under their surface.
"YOU- RRGH-"  Green pulls their dagger from their belt, but before they can do anything with it Bones snaps a set of jaws around them, pinning them in place. They writhe like a vicious animal held at arm's length.
"I didn't- Is it so bad?? Green? Is it really so bad? You're alive, aren't you?"
"AM I?" They snap, "If you killed me and now I hunger for the flesh of the living, aren't I some fucking undead monster!?" They claw for another of Bones's eyes. "Fix it. If you can't do it, then you're going to find me someone who can."
Bones stares at the lizard. The drive they have to bite and claw even trapped between Bones's teeth is almost a little scary. Nerves of steel, the little bastard, and bolstered by desperation and fury. Bones gets the feeling Green is the type who would not have stayed dead even without being bought back. Bones gets the feeling they are that annoying type of problem which will not go away on its own.
"..Fine," Bones says carefully, "I can't fix you, but I'll help you if you stop trying to claw out my eyes. Deal?"
Green glares, and takes a deep breath that does not do anything to hide their still-boiling anger.
"Deal." They snarl.
Bones spits Green out on the ground.  Green stands quickly, and watches Bones with suspicion- or perhaps authority. Bones stretches and shakes themself out, unconcerned.
Green tilts their head and grimaces as Bones moves, unable to keep up with the way the dark shapes morph... until quite suddenly they are recognizable as a torso, arms, legs... and Bones cracks their spine and shakes themself out again.
"Gods, it's been a while.. Are you ready?"
Green sets their jaw and nods firmly. They lead the way out of the cave.
