Give me money, get me happy, get me drunk Give me a reason to forget what I have done

the Mother of All Waters begins her Tantra:

“Know that my worship is of Flesh 

All else is abstract, obtuse and as dust. 

Flesh of Flesh is sacred to me 

My Yoni 

And Stars: 

The points of Connection & the Wheels of Configuration of release…

“Sex in all its infinite forms is Shakti as restless and endless as the Ocean about you 

As the tidally-­sparked blood within your Flesh

Ever flowing, ever seeming to encompass All Things 

Ever filling and settling into All Spaces 

Sex is my Mantra, my Spell, My Siren Cry 

And it is I who always answer this cry, 

it is the glory of my Flesh that suffuses the Mystery 

And the release of Orgasm that calms the turbulent Ocean that is also I.

You see me as a Mirror Image of All,  so as to mate with me 

And so become whole. 

Mystery of Anima & Animus 

Flesh & Spirit 

Nu & Hadit 

And the restless Shakti ripples 

Called Heru 

Pan & Babalon reveal this age­old Mystery 

As do Shiva & Shakti 

Yin & Yang 

And every archetypal dyad eternally mating

Melding

Into One 

Great Ocean of Bliss 

Becoming 

Nun…."

Recently, I discovered an injured baby Garter Snake while ministering to an Elder tree that lost a large section of its branches.

I am currently tending to his wound while he stays in a terrarium I set up for him, and he is so unusually friendly and willing to be handled. I've never had a snake seem so personable.

We're calling him Herkimer.

Abe is a young ophidian with a fondness for adventure and exploration. Despite or perhaps because of having grown up on the outskirts of society, forced to fight and steal to survive, she seeks life in a community and yearns for a sense of belonging with a found family.

Abe makes her way in the exploration of uncharted or dangerous areas in search of metal and technology, sometimes even taking the time to register her discoveries with the appropriate agencies. A self-avowed treasure hunter, she is happy to receive compensation for her cultural contributions and harbours a secret love for such things that falls just short of outright study.

When she is not being employed, she spends most of her time lounging in her small housing unit and is a common face at the local bar.

Thank you so much, @naamahdarling​! My camera can’t do him justice! Those eyes, and the jewels outlining the points of Ophiuchus on his back! Those waterfalls of hair! I’m naming him Ophidian and displaying him in my living room!

Ophidian Levy

Birthed from the Garter-Pits, the Ophidians made an ideal first wave militia for the New Unseelie Army.

Few saw longer than five years of service and were retired as battlefield injury and subsequent heads further split their consciousness into an uncontrollable ball of bickering snakes.

Scrooge McDuck As A Host For Ophidian

Ok. Here I’ll be going over reasons as to why Scrooge McDuck would make a suitable host for Ophidian, the embodiment of greed and what might happen if Ophidian were to choose Scrooge to be their host. Also, Spoiler Alert for the DuckTales (2017) TV series and the Green Lantern comics. With that out of the way, let’s dive right in.

First off, I’m gonna go over why Scrooge would make a suitable host for Ophidian. As shown in the episode ‘The 87 Cent Solution!’, Scrooge was greedy to the point that he got driven crazy by the loss of 87 cents. And I think that the way Scrooge kept on trying to get more and more over the course of his long life also goes to show how much greed he has in him. As stated and shown in the episode ‘The Golden Lagoon Of White Agony Plains!’, Scrooge had lived during the time of the Klondike Gold Rush which lasted from 1896 to 1899. That would make Scrooge well over 100 years old. The fact that Scrooge’s greed didn’t waver over the course of that amount of time despite the fact that he would’ve surely encountered a lot of obstacles during such a long period of time really demonstrates how set he was on making his fortune. I also think that Scrooge’s willpower had gone on to strengthen his greed. After all, in order to get something that you want, you have to be willing to get it. And as stated and shown in the episode ‘The Outlaw Scrooge McDuck!’, Scrooge’s whole philosophy is that you have to work hard in order to earn your fortune. And working hard is one thing that willpower centers around. Between all that and the fact that Scrooge uses his willpower to earn his fortune, I think that Scrooge’s willpower and greed have gone on to overlap very often.

Next, I’m gonna go over how Scrooge and Ophidian might interact with each other after Ophidian enters Scrooge’s body. As shown in Green Lantern Vol 4 #57, Ophidian takes complete control over their host’s body while also feeding off of the host’s greed. So, Ophidian will try to do the same thing with Scrooge’s body. And I think Ophidian would be able to take over Scrooge’s body at first. However, I think that Scrooge’s willpower will be able to push back against Ophidian’s influence. As I explained in my previous point, Scrooge has a great amount of willpower and he believes you have to work hard to earn your fortune. So, Scrooge chooses not to take short-cuts to get what he wants. And Scrooge earning his fortune without taking short-cuts would’ve surely taken a lot of willpower in and of itself. So, while Scrooge’s willpower does strengthen his greed, I also think his willpower also acts as a limiter for his greed too because while Scrooge’s greed can compel him to do a lot of things to earn his fortune, it can’t compel to compromise his principals in order to do so. After all, as shown in the episode ‘The Great Dime Chase!’, Scrooge cherishes his #1 dime because he earned it by scrubbing a person’s shoes. Therefore, Scrooge will able to put up quite a bit of resistance against Ophidian. But while Scrooge’s willpower will allow him to push Ophidian back, it will be Scrooge’s love that will allow him to completely break free from Ophidian. Scrooge loves his family. In fact, as shown in the episode ‘The Last Crash Of The Sunchaser!’, Scrooge was willing to give up his entire fortune if it meant getting his niece Della back to Earth. So, once Scrooge gets reminded about the love he has for his family, he will be able to completely break free from Ophidian’s influence.

Now, I’ll be going over just how powerful an Ophidian-possessed Scrooge could be. Given everything I said earlier about how Scrooge was always set on making his fortune over the course of his long life and how his willpower went on to strengthen his greed, an Ophidian-possessed Scrooge will already be extremely powerful as is. But as shown in Green Lantern Vol 4 #40, Orange Lantern Ring constructs are able to absorb power, including magic. And since Ophidian’s own power is pretty much the same as the Orange Lantern Rings, albeit at a much higher level since Ophidian was used as a power source for the Orange Lantern Central Power Battery as shown in Green Lantern Vol 4 #56, Ophidian should be able to do the same thing. So, it would be pretty difficult to defeat an Ophidian-possessed Scrooge since he could just simply absorb the magic. And as also shown in Green Lantern Vol 4 #40, Orange Lantern Rings can replicate the essence of anyone who is killed by an Orange Lantern Rings as an Orange Lantern construct. If the Ophidian-possessed Scrooge were to do that same thing to the likes of Magica De Spell for example, he would be even more difficult to stop. So, an Ophidian-possessed Scrooge McDuck would be pretty hard to take down.

Finally, I’ll be going over exactly what might happen if Scrooge were to be possessed by Ophidian. As shown in Green Lantern Vol 4 #57, Ophidian made their host Hector Hammond act on his desire to have Carol for himself. So, Ophidian will probably make Scrooge act on his desire for riches and money. Scrooge’s willpower would be able to push back against Ophidian and allow him to take back control of his body for a few brief moments at a time before Ophidian regains control again. Also, after seeing her father Scrooge get possessed by Ophidian, Webby will probably call her friends Lena Sabrewing and Violet Sabrewing for help. As shown in the episode ‘Friendship Hates Magic!’, Violet has extensively studied lore about spirits. And Ophidian definitely functions like a spirit. And as shown in the episode ‘The Split Sword Of Swanstantine!’, Lena knows that you have to accept your negative emotions in order to overcome them. And knowledge like that would really come in handy when it comes to overcoming the influence of an entity like Ophidian that relies on the negative emotion of greed. So, Violet and Lena would be able to help Scrooge overcome Ophidian’s possession. Violet might be able to concoct a ritual that could at least weaken Ophidian’s control over Scrooge and might also be able to find out that Ophidian’s power is fueled by greed. After Violet finds out that greed fuels Ophidian’s power, Lena would be able to use that knowledge to their advantage by coaching Scrooge to accept his negative emotions in order to overcome them. After all that, Scrooge might be able to put up more resistance against Ophidian. However, the final catalyst to free Scrooge from Ophidian would be Scrooge’s love for his family. As I explained earlier, Scrooge’s love for his family would be strong enough to allow him to break free from Ophidian since, as shown in the episode ‘The Last Crash Of The Sunchaser!’, he loved his family to the point that he was willing to give up his fortune to get Della back to Earth.

Well, that’s all for this post.

See you all next time.

Solvi/Ophidian

We released Herkimer back into the Wild yesterday, with his wound having healed sufficiently and Walpurgis seeming a fitting time. He slithered off happily into the grass, and we bid him goodbye. Today, though, I've had another lovely ophidian visitor!

I think we may even have a new Greenhouse resident!

So I also drew the QUEEN Ophidian! For @twyz

OC sketches, this is Ophidian, they might show up in a fic someday if i get brave enough to post it
