I love that we are all on the same page that Wonderlands came and saved the franchise from BL3s terrible horrible very very very Bad writting and decision making with its fun story and drastically improved QoL changes and overall thematic of the game and endgame content and multiclass system and consecuently the build diversity.
I guess it really shows that randy truly learned from his awful decision making for BL3 and listened to the community and maybe it might be true what he said about always wanting to make a fantasy RPG because you can see the love the team put into this game.
We cant deny that gearbox literally beat Anthony Burch's story to the ground and spat on it then took the hugest dump on its face and said yep thats a game and that randy did some shady casting choices that backfired severely (the VAs did a great job though) along with trying to put so much stuff together that simply did not make the game feel too fun to play through and thus eventually making so many changes to the game that made the community question wether the game was actually ready to play at launch.
BUT we can also not deny that the team showed their growth through the years delivering very fun stories and showing the respect that they owed to BL2 during each DLC release and eventually releasing a game that feels very beautifully executed with many of the communities wildest dreams made come true.
I honestly dont know if gearbox as ANY intention to continue the franchise with a Borderlands 4 after the Mess of a story they left in the main game. But I can agree with the community players that say the story is still very salvageable and they can still retake the course of the story left by Burch before leaving the team to pursue a different dream. And after playing Wonderlands i can now say that i believe the team is ready to follow their instinct and go hogwild on the story if they ever decide to develop a fourth release, of course it wouldnt hurt to have some consultation with Burch every now and then.
#p#dont get me wrong i LOOOOVE bl3 its so fun#but the story left everybody an awful aftertaste#with bl2 and tales from the borderlands and pre sequel#they had all the pieces put into place for the next game and then.... they did bl3#literally gave zero follow up to like 80% of said pieces put into place#for instance most of the characters from tales#then athena and the watcher#and the eridian war??????#they killed all of that and said lol evil streamer twins#but right now they have some factors that may contribute for a better development of the next release#1. they did not touch any of those things in bl3 and can be easily brought back into the story of 4 but they must have the eridian wars#2. the multi class system introduced in wonderlands is PERFECT for the one thing the watcher said at the end of pre sequel#'Bring all of the vault hunters you can'#what better way than each player creating a self insert or an OC etc instead of chosing from four to six determined characters#it would be brilliant stuff for content like takedowns or raids too just like in destiny#after that there is some stuff like Lilith and Elpis. im pretty sure they did not mean to imply that theyre both gone for good#so theres a lot of area right there to add an important point in the story.#just like when Lilith revealed to Jack that she was still live and then proceeded to teleport an entire city away from harm#the very last thing i would love for them to do is to make tannis an aphatic asshole again#they kind of killed her character in 3 making her way softer IMO and whyd they change her face structure so much lmao .#i know they tried to show that she finally opened herself to the crimson raiders or whatever but#that was definitely not the way to show it#im literally going to force myself to stop talking here and go to sleep now

Hello 9-1-1 fans! I appreciate all the engagement in my posts so far. Been a lover of small fandoms for a while, but it’s nice to be welcomed to a bigger, more active group! I just try to avoid spoilers since I’m only on S2. :)
Couples I’m most interested in seeing: Maddie/Chim and more Athena/Bobby. And I do see the Eddie/Buck chemistry!
Favorite character so far: Athena, but I’m biased because I liked Angela Bassett in ER.
Next episode up: 2x9, Hen Begins (I can’t wait for all the Begins episode)
Fanfic: No 9-1-1 fics yet, but if you want to check out what I do in other fandoms, feel free to browse my AO3. My main fanfic fandoms are ER, SVU, and The Resident.

Another one that’s been sat on my harddrive for ages. You can find screenshots for multiple characters from the Borderlands series and they’re split into their own folders. There are screenshots from Borderlands 1, 2, 2′s DLC, 3, 3′s DLC, The Pre Sequel and Tale from the Borderlands
All I ask is that you like or reblog this post if you’re planning using them. Some screenshots may be blurry or out of focus as I haven’t gone through them with a fine toothed comb.

The show actually did a really good job of setting up the possibility of Annabeth as the traitor, especially for a kids' show. Like, while we book readers were having meltdowns over the first "Seaweed Brain" show-watchers only were probably prepping for Annabeth to betray Percy.
The rivalry between Poseidon and Athena, discussed during the encounter with Medusa? The whole "Be careful, I think you almost called me a friend," under the arch? The way Annabeth shut off the Iris message with Luke abruptly while they were discussing the traitor? Annabeth's great regret holding her back in the underworld?????
Like, I bet a lot of show watchers were genuinely shocked when Annabeth wasn't the traitor, and even more shocked when they found out it was Luke.

Ω PJO DEMIGOD HEADCANONS: ✌ NIKE: Goddess of Victory 🏆
Author's note: Hello everyone! In lieu of posting the major gods demigod headcanons, here is the minor gods version!As usual these headcanons will contain what it's like being claimed and what it's like for the respective god and cabin, followed by a small story between you, the reader, and the respective demigod of that god. Thank you for reading and please like and reblog! [PJO MINOR GODS DEMIGOD HEADCANONS MASTERLIST] Disclaimer: To new fans or strictly TV watchers of the PJO series, future spoilers for the entire PJO series books will be referenced. Read at your own risk.
When you get claimed, it’s after winning. It could be beating an arm wrestling match, winning at rock paper scissors, you get the gist. 
The desire to win is so strong that it’s borderline obsessive.
Competitive is the defining word for a child of Nike. 
You have the last laugh- even if you lose at that moment, you’ll find yourself winning in the end, even if you have to play the long game. 
Perfection, or near perfection, is also part of your drive. It may not have to do with everything and anything, but it is there.
You’re athletic as heck as Athletics fall under her domain. If you weren’t before, well, not if Nike has something to say about it. Consider it the equivalent of Aphrodite’s blessing, where her children are blessed with perfect makeup and hair, except in your case, you have a boost in athletic skill, intelligence, and etc. Even if you have a chronic disease or disability, Nike has you covered in ways you didn’t know were possible. 
If you aren’t competitive, you’ll start to feel the need to win when you see someone outpacing you. This often leads to a choking hazard when more than once, a child of Nike overheard a “Let’s see who can eat the fastest!” or something of that degree. If one child of Nike starts doing it, then another will follow, and a chain of Nike children are shoveling food into their mouths. Then the sheer energy produced by the chain of children of Nike affects everyone else. Food competitions and food fights, especially, are banned in Camp Halfblood for these reasons. This is one of the few times Mr. D intervened with his godly power with his own, and oh boy. 
In games like Truth or Dare, they will definitely commit. You can imagine what’ll happen. The Hermes cabin is banned from asking or starting a Truth or Dare game when there are children of Nike around. It was not pretty. Limits were tested and broken. Absolute truths unbearable to hear as everyone felt some emotional reaction; but mostly unbearable, intense second-hand embarrassment that some just walked out of. Impossible challenges were met and there was much, much regret. Travis and Connor Stoll are, as expected, the perpetrators of this ban. 
Spite. So much Spite. You will do things out of pure spite. Being kind out of spite is also on the table. You can be even spiteful out of spite. How that works, I have no idea and only you know.
Any form of congratulatory tokens are handled by the children of Nike; especially the Laurels. 
You have a natural affinity with a child of Athena, due to her connection Athena, but also children of Ares. This is mostly due to the fact of their domain of war.
The bit of having a natural affinity with a child of Athena or Ares is crucial because more likely than not, they will either enable you or they will be the ones to pull you back and give you a down to earth level. This is usually done by the children of Athena, but when an Ares’ child does it? Oh then you know, a line has been crossed.
Depending on how many Nike children there are, Chiron does his best to split you guys in the middle, and put one half in the team with the Are’s team, and the other half with the Athena’s team. This is to balance out of the gods on the behest of the Nemesis cabin due to…incidents. Very bloody and catastrophic incidents. 
Likewise on never challenging a child of Nike, this also applies vise-versa. NEVER ACCEPT A CHILD OF NIKE’S CHALLENGE. YOU WILL LOSE. YOU WILL REGRET IT. A CHILD OF NIKE’S CHALLENGE IS ONE THEY KNOW THEY WILL ABSOLUTELY, GUARANTEED WIN. [Accept at your own risk and peril.] 
There’s a 120% guarantee that a child of Nike will take any challenge with any sort of prize. It doesn’t matter if it’s something very minor like a cheap toy, they will do what it takes to win it. The icing on the cake? There’s a rumour that there’s an actual prize that Nike herself promised to her children that whoever wins the most by the end of the year, they will receive a prize from herself. Most people know it's a golden laurel, but there’s a rumour that they could earn a pair of golden wings much like Nike herself (of course a dumb down version but still very powerful regardless). The kicker about this? The bar is set higher every year; where the children of Nike must win at least above the minimum from the previous year. The bar is constantly moving. No one’s sure if it’ll end. 
Don’t worry though, the children of Nike have (some sort of) honour in winning. Sure they might use tricks and schemes to win, but there won’t be any dirty or easy wins from them. They’ll earn their win as fairly/honourably/squarely as it can be. On the other hand, if it’s an easy win or win by default, some children of Nike might not take it. 
You were coming down from the high of winning and the claim of Nike over your head. When Chiron announced who your godly parent was, you thought “Yeah that sounds about right” and as you were basking in the afterglow, you heard incessant yelling from the distance that was quickly getting louder. 
People were either moving to the side, diving and pushing others to get out of the way, and those who didn’t were bouldered over by a pair of identical twin girls. They both had brown hair and were practically pushing at each others’ heads, while rushing towards you while trying to push the other away, but inevitably were knocking others around them down.
They looked around before their eyes locked on you and you froze like a deer in the headlights as they barreled over to you as they both stuck their hands out at the same time, and yelled in your face excitedly,
“Hi! I’m Holly Victor, child of Nike and cabin leader!” “Hi! I’m Laurel Victor, child of Nike and cabin leader!” 
Their words sounded like you were hearing stereo and you were reeling from everything. Upon instinct, your hands both stuck out to take their hands and before you could even think of introducing yourself back, the twins snapped their heads at each other and they glowered, 
“Hey I was first! No, I was! Stop copying me! I won first!” they both said and your head was spinning. 
You stammered out an introduction, as helpless at it may be but they’re focus turned to you just as you finished saying, “-and who are you guys…?”
Before the two girls could even think to explain first, Chiron stepped from behind them and placed his hands on their heads to get them to stop. 
“They’re Laurel and Holly Victor, twin sisters and daughters of Nike, just like you. They’re also the cabin leaders of the Nike cabin” he introduced. 
“But aren’t there supposed to be one cabin leader…?” 
“Normally yes, however, when deciding who would, being children of Nike, the two argued and fought for a very long time to be cabin leader before we all agreed it was better for both sisters to be cabin leaders.”
You paled at your future being at the Nike cabin as you prayed to your godly parent for strength, but remember they got this from Nike, and more importantly-
The Victor twins both grinned and shook your hands at the same time, “Welcome to the Nike cabin, new sibling!”  
You just stared at them and thought, ‘This is going to redefine sibling rivalry in all history of sibling rivalry”

Most Huggable Ancient (non-Ascian)
Y'all really liked the Ascians poll, so here's a quick one for Ancients that weren't on the Convocation when the sword dropped
In other news, I've got a decent number of punch or hug nominations, so I'll start rolling those polls out soon (and if you want to throw more at me, have at it)

Man, thinking about how the difference between Ascians and the Twelve comes down to how similarly they loved by how they were influenced in one manner or another. The Paragons loved Amaurot and its people and all of them desired something that was in the past that could no longer be reclaimed. Lahabrea probably just wanted his son back but after jumping so many bodies, Athena's ambition probably took hold of his senses and his mission was removing Hydaelyn from the Source's influence to make room for Athena's Godhood. I imagine if he had remained the same and had Erichthonius by his side the entire way, Lahabrea would of eventually sided with Venat on the issue. His memory forged from Athena in Pandaemonium sees the modern people as a bit weak in the aetheric region but the people of the future which is more than content to accept. Eitheirys survived the Final Days and he was happy with it. But a Lahabrea driven mad by the Heart of Sabik and the influence of his other absorbed half? Of course he'd be self-destructive and crazed to the last.
The Elidibus we come to know was a Primal. He had love for his worshipers and his brothers who pleaded to Zodiark for aid to return to the world that was. Themis would of tried to be an ambassador or Emissary for the new people of Eitherys. But a being driven entirely by the prayer of its people? He had his mission. He couldn't see past it. The Themis inside Elidibus only briefly seen here and there as a fading conscious who takes great interest in the use of the Crystal of the Azem. Before the prayers over take his senses and he become set on combating us at the Seat of Sacrifice. Slowly being stripped back down to Themis as he is absorbed back into the aether stream in the Syrcus Tower on the First. Sees him more pleasant, tame, and almost contently pragmatic. Sending us back to Elpis cause it was the right thing to do. Even though he didn't quite understand why he did it. The only prayer guiding the Primal Elidibus's hand being the vague memories of Themis from that point on until finally he faded away.
Emet-Selch loved the time he spent with Hythlodaeus and Azem. He loved the duty he had as watcher of the Underworld. But he has spent a thousand, thousand life times hearing the whispers of his fallen Amaurotines. Twisted by the prayers of Zodiark and seeing Amaurot through rose tinted glasses. He wanted to reobtain that perfect world that never truly was perfect. He wanted things to be as they were. He is briefly and happily able to go along with Eitheirys being the way it is until the untimely death of his firstborn son sends him grief stricken back to the mission ahead. And in the end, a part of him saw there was just no returning to how it was. So he puts on a performance to see to the funeral proceedings of both him and Elidibus while handing over the memory of Amaurot to us.
The Twelve love Eitheirys and the World itself. Many of them were Amaurotines with their own studies and tasks to see to. But some of them were wanderers of the land itself, outside the scope of Amaurot. Some of them were hunters, wanderers, wild men. Some of them were scholars of the life of Eitheirys or creation of new things. The Twelve were made up of those who loved the world beyond Amaurot. Who cherished its people in one way or another. Who would take it in any way it presented itself. They themselves are influenced by Venat's ideals, her wishes, and her love for the world as well. They sacrifice and become her Thirteen watchers who stand by and see Hydaelyn sacrifice for the good of the star. Before deciding to meet with her champion and go out and meet the people of the world after remaining distant for so long. Loving mortality as it is not as it was. They are initially taken aback by the changes of Nophica and Halone. As Gridania became more aggressive in its war between Duskwight and Wildwood for control of the Black Shroud as well as the supposed word of the Elementals. Nophica ends up becoming more aggressive and a seeker of combat as well. As Halone goes from being worshiped as a stalwart defender to a patron of the Dragonsong War. She becomes more serious and reserved. But also from mortality worship, Menphina gets a companion in the form of Dalamud and Oschon is able to walk amongst humanity. Showing that mortality can had dire and positive effects on them. They are an ever changing, ever growing people to be loved and cherished and seen happy as they can. So each of the Twelve set about ensuring the continuation of not the Eitheirys that was but the world as it is and the world that it can be.
A drama teacher once haphazardly described to me in Middle School that a Greek Tragedy was a story where almost everyone involve dies horribly in the end. While a Greek Comedy is that most people survive happily but the main character still dies in someway at the end.
And I feel like this applies to the Ascians and the Twelves as Tragedy and Comedy. Had Lahabrea not lost his son, been influenced by the Heart of Sabik. I imagine he would of actually been someone seeking for the betterment of the world. And eventually, perhaps after the First Umbral Calamity, seen the error of the mission and been against destruction against the star in such a form. Had Themis not become the Heart of Zodiark and transformed into a Primal, controlled by the fears and fervent prayers of his people. Elidibus would of possibly been a force of good, taking on the mantle similar to the Warrior of Light and guided the new people as Emissary, as was his want to do. And Emet-Selch, would of probably taken the longest. He was stubborn and set in his ways but also sentimental to a fault. The whispers of his kin driving him to many umbral calamities for them, the weight of it crushing him beneath it. I imagine if his son hadn't suddenly died in a such a manner, had the firstborn remained a sort of moral compass for him, he might eventually of called the entire business off. And been content to pull back from Garlean conquest happy to tend to the people he now ruled over and turning the magitek discoveries to better the people of the realm like Cid Garlond would come to do. But alas, they were all influenced in a manner that would bring about their down fall. Each love's twisted or marred by a tragedy and so in the end, they both fall. All in their own tragic ways.
And the Comedy of the Twelve? That they accepted the world as it was, believing in Venat's hope and stalwart determination. Even when they were changed drastically like Nophica and Halone. Even when they were suddenly rendered into two like Nald'thal by the prayers of the people. They saw the good that could come from it all. And so, choose to sacrifice themselves and die in the end after enduring for so long. To give the world a better chance. It is a sad affair but not in a light of tragedy like the Ascian's deaths. Think back to Lahabrea absorbed by Nidhogg's eye and then unceremoniously dispatched when Estinien finally destroys the eyes, Emet-Selch's "Remember we must live" moment and appearing the Seat of Sacrifice as a shade bringing the fandom to its knees, and of course Elidibus's "The rains have ceased" all of which are presented as "Alas, the poor villain..." moments. While the Twelve's sacrifice is an emotional moment but it feels like they're now finally able to lay down and take the well deserved rest. Except Deryk who chooses to continue to walk amongst mankind with his companion contently. As was his want to do.
All Ascian deaths are painted as Elidibus remembered, "The rains have ceased...and we have been graced with another beautiful day. But, you are not here to see it." The battle has concluded, the fight is over, but their kin are still not returned. It was for naught. But it is time to move on.
While the Twelve's deaths are painted like the quote, "The End has come...and it will be beautiful." As many Amaurot centric characters espouse in Endwalker. The time has come to bid farewell after standing so long against the despair and darkness. But hope has taken root, it is time to fall asleep. But it was beautiful was it not? Disappear into the shimmering gold curtain and lay your head down to rest.
Ascians loved Amaurot and its people but ill influenced by the things of the past, outside their control. The voices of past Amaurot haunting them to be saved, to make them gods, to return things how they were. Who looked upon the dawning of a new era in flame horrified and unable to stand against it. The Twelve loving Eitheirys and its people and are influenced by them, the people of the present. Who look to the new sun rise with both hope and despair. Seeing the flames of despair bringing them low but also being brought back to their feet by the light of hope rekindling. Two sides of the same coin.

I see people being so bitter about the PJO tv adaption but like literally if you wanted a 1-1 adaption, that’s okay, but you should’ve known that wasn’t going to be what happened. Not only would that be logistically impossible, it wouldn’t have been good. I love PJO, but a book isn’t going to translate literally into a show well. It would’ve sucked. It would’ve been dated, expensive, and require wayyyy too much CGI and a much larger runtime than they got greenlit for. It’s been twenty years. Things change. That’s okay. But don’t say it’s shitty just because it’s not the exact same. New watchers fucking love it. I’m convinced some of you are letting little details ruin your experience because some of your grievances make it seem like you’re not even watching the show.
“Not enough action!” Boohoo. Fights are hard and expensive and don’t fit the deeper themes they’re going for in this season. And this is just season one. You know, before the actual main conflict of the series even starts. This is entire season is for setting the larger shit up. Including the emotional component of why Luke does what he does, which means exploring why the gods are bad parents. You’ll see more battles in the next few seasons.
“It’s too dark and serious” Percy put on a British accent to make fun of Athena. Mr. D pulled an “I am your father!” On Percy. They splashed him in a fountain like an overheated dog. Percy crashed a taxi. The consensus song. Grover letting animals loose on Las Vegas. The mortals saw the chimera as a tiny ass chihuahua. They played “What is love?” During the tunnel of love. Percy literally thought he was Jesus Christ 2.0 for a second. He was distracted petting a lizard during capture the flag. Ares starts Twitter wars. Grover told him “Thanks for the burgers and emotional abuse.” There’s tons of humor and silly moments. Just pay attention. Or maybe it’s not your humor. That’s okay. But don’t say it’s not silly, cuz it is.
“The characters aren’t the same!” Okay you’re just lying now. Annabeth is complex, they’re exploring her relationship with her mother, and Leah’s onscreen chemistry with Walker is insane. Percy would absolutely sacrifice himself for his mother without second thought. Grover acts as a guide and bridge between Annabeth and Percy. And he gets his character explored more! His connection to Pan and nature is so cool here! I could go more in-depth here but literally the characters are almost the exact same. Little scenes don’t make a character. You either haven’t read the books in a while, don’t critically analyze your favorite characters and what makes them who they are, or are letting minor grievances overshadow how good the actors and writers are. This is so evidently a passion project from everyone involved.
“They’re rushing percabeth/percabeth isn’t good enough!” Weirdly have heard both. Both are due to fandom interpretations, not the actual show. Nothing romantic is going on between the two of them because they’re both twelve and just met. They’re friends, and that’s great! Your knowledge that they’re going to become an amazing power couple is clouding your judgement.
You guys are letting minor scenes from a (around) twenty year old book dictate your experience of a wonderful show that keeps the same spirit and care that was put into it in the first place. I agree on lighting issues, a few odd lines, stuff like that, but the actual substance of the show is amazing and true to character. I love it. It’s okay if you don’t like it. But ask yourself why. Don’t be bitter about a few scene changes because there’s so much joy that you’re denying yourself of because of something as simple as nostalgia.

Pop Culture Deities & Spirits: Common Questions
Tumblr media
Image description: A screenshot of a comment left by Runa from @serpentandthreads that says "What are the theories to explain pop culture deities and spirits? What qualifies as a deity in pop culture magic/religions? How does one go about forming their personal craft based on pop culture magic, when it is so new and has little resources?" End image description.
These are all such wonderful questions, Runa! So you'll have to forgive me for breaking these down bit by bit!
What are the theories to explain pop culture deities and spirits?
There are many! On account of not knowing them all myself, I'll just cover two - the egregore theory and my own theory.
Egregore Theory
To quote Wikipedia for a simple definition, an egregore is "an occult concept representing a certain non-physical entity that arises from the collective thoughts of a distinct group of people." Historically, this referred to the watchers of Enochian traditions, but I'm not getting into that because I'm not part of any Enochian tradition.
In recent times, the term also refers to figures such as Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny - they're very easy to know about and run into (in the United States at least), and they have very simple jobs that they do for particular reasons.
So in this theory, the worship of a pop culture deity or spirit by multiple people would bring it into creation, especially if you count any worship in the source the deity or spirit comes from.
I've actually known people who wanted to work with a lesser-known pop culture spirit, so they started out by building up worship and offerings first to either bring the spirit into existence or to help them form a bit in our world. (Though out of respect for everyone's privacy, I'm not gonna name any of the people or pop culture entities involved in that.) It was fascinating to observe from an outside perspective.
My Theory
As I so lovingly and eloquently stated in the past, my theory for how this works is that magic and the universe and shit are already so goddamn weird. Another way I phrase it is "you can't prove that any of this is real, you can only prove the impact it has on the lives of you and other physical people", which also applies to questions about why appropriation is bad.
My craft runs on experimentation first and foremost, not what other people say is or is not possible. My little wizard heart continues my experiments and compares them to other experiences I've had.
If I reach out to Azura and get a response back, then clearly Azura exists in some meaningful way. Through experiments like these, I've come to find out that Azura has a similar energy to "historical" deities I worship, such as Athena and Aphrodite, so I've felt comfortable continuing my worship.
(Quick side note: I use "historical" to mean "deities not from a form of pop culture", such as the Greek, Norse, Egyptian, and Roman pantheons. We'll discuss this further down.)
My theory really is "fuck around and find out".
What qualifies as a deity in pop culture magic/religions?
This one greatly depends on the person and practice.
You have people who believe that any figure from pop culture can count as a pop culture deity. (While I was writing this, I found a post discussing Eevee as a pop culture deity.) You have people like me, who have a different idea of what a deity is and use "non-physical entity" as the catch-all term. Ultimately, the answer to this question is highly personal.
To me, "deity" has a particular connotation. If an entity is worshiped as a deity or deity-adjacent figure (the Aedra and Daedra, Legendary/Mythical Pokemon, et cetera) in the source, I’d consider that to be deity work.
If I were working with, say, Son Goku, I'd consider that spirit work or hero worship, because even though he has a Super Saiyan Shark-Jumping Bullshit- I mean, a Super Saiyan God mode, he's not worshiped as a god in the Dragon Ball series, and that's the primary difference for me. I actually mention in my post about Vadrok that I see Legendary MTG critters like him and Alesha to be spirits that you can holler at, not deities.
How does one go about forming their personal craft based on pop culture magic, when it is so new and has little resources?
This is an even more complicated answer because no two pop culture practices are going to look the same, even when drawing from the same source. For the low bar example, let's use me and @kaosmage aka Faust aka the @strixhaven-biblioplex for Magic: The Gathering-inspired spell work. We both draw from the cards of the game as inspiration for spells.
I take a more card-first approach, often using the card, its pictures and symbols, and its effects as the basis of a spell. For example, look at my Cradle of Safety spell, where I take inspiration from the presence of the feathers and heron medallion in the art to call on Sigarda (long story, look at the Innistrad lore, good luck) and incorporate the usage of feathers into the spell proper.
Faust takes on a card-inspired approach, as seen in his Curse of Clinging Webs spell. Sure, he's got the spider webs in there, but he doesn't have cheap Halloween spider decorations in there too (which is probably for the best because you can only get those between August and October from most retailers and he posted the spell in January). It's probably a good thing that he has significantly more chill than I do.
What was I talking about again? Oh, right, forming one's pop culture side of their craft. The great thing about pop culture magic and paganism is that it can blend almost seamlessly with almost any other practice because you can draw as little or as much inspiration from pop culture as you want. Find something you love, something that inspires you, and work from there using the same methods you'd use for non-pop culture magic.
Just want to loop the Streets of New Capenna OST during a ritual? Sure! Want to get a Daedric Artifact replica to put on your altar? Why not! Need a spirit pal or familiar and run into a Charmander? I've been there! Want to dedicate the next four years of your life to the study of pop culture magic and how it varies between different people? That means you're me and we must fight at dawn for the right to keep our names.
My advice? Just give it a shot. Only you can figure out what works in your craft.
Bonus section: Jasper babbles about "historical" deities and how pop culture is older than it looks.
Something that's always skinned my potatoes upside-down is how people treat pop culture paganism as something "harmful" but then those very same people turn around and worship Aradia, Eostre, and even Mesperyian, all of whom were made up for fake documentaries (Aradia), assumed to exist based on the name of something else (Eostre), or made up for a mythology writing assignment for class (Mesperyian). Does this mean they don't exist? No! But they're not "ancient goddesses". They're just a slightly older version of pop culture paganism (except for Mesperyian, who's one of the younger versions).
There are also historical deities who have fallen to the wayside, such as Cernunnos. We have little to no idea of what his deal was, which unfortunately left us to pick up the pieces later and have to work twice as hard to figure this mess out. So we're working on very little historical information and a pop culture understanding of this deity's "thing" - a god of wealth in the time of 14 CE Gaul has a very different understanding of what can be done and what is usually asked for do than a god of wealth worshiped in 2022 CE Missouri.
Anyway, that was my dive into "pop culture paganism isn't as new as people think it is so please stop being a dick about it to random pop culture pagans on Tumblr, thank you". I hope you enjoyed this bonus section, because this is a problem that comes up a lot in pop culture paganism discussions.

Tagged by @rosieposiepuddingnpie for a wip wednesday and thought I’d give a little first draft preview of this year’s spooky season fic. We’re not doing creature feature or ghost story this year for buddie but more Hitchcock thriller—or my buddie version of Rear Window.
Tagging with no pressure @monsterrae1 @alyxmastershipper @tkwritesdumbassassins @westernlarch @missanniewhimsy @whimsyswastry @outtoshatter or anyone else who wants to play along.
Tumblr media
Title: Alley with a View
Fandom: 911
Pairings: Buddie
Fic summary: Laid up, Buck picks up people watching from his balcony out of boredom because his leg is encased in a cast for another three weeks. His neighbors are varied, from the composer to the dancer to the newlyweds and the not-so-newlyweds.   One night, he witnesses something he isn’t supposed to. With Eddie’s help and a slight assist from Carla and Athena, they take on a murder mystery and connect the clues to solve a crime.
Tags/warnings: first draft territory. This is a get-together fic set in a murder mystery. Buck’s got some voyeristic tendencies out of boredom. Set post truck-bombing (no lawsuit or tsunami in this one)
Tumblr media
It started innocently enough out of sheer boredom.
Stuck in his apartment with strict instructions to keep his leg elevated for hours there was only so much a previously healthy and active male could do to keep himself busy and Buck wasn’t much of a tv watcher at the best of times and… well other activities were considered too “vigorous”. 
Normally he’d be out and about. 
Instead he was stuck at home in his new ultra modern apartment, bum leg propped up and bored out of his mind. Even him and Wikipedia were on a break at the moment as he’d overdid it just a bit too much reading about crush injuries and types of bone fractures.
So while he was staring in boredom out the windows of his apartment he noticed a few things that normally would have been completely off his radar.  For instance, one of his upstairs neighbors across the street must be some sort of composer.  He had a large baby grand piano that took up way too much space but he liked to play for hours at a time stringing together bits of melody that eventually became halfway decent theme songs that stuck in your brain on repeat so good that Buck found himself humming along. Buck nicknamed that guy Gershwin after George Gershwin the famous film composer. 
Down and to the right of Gershwin was the apartment of a woman that Buck was debating sending an anonymous message to if he could figure out how to do it without coming off as a total douchebag and peeping tom.  She was younger than him, slender, and had the habit of practicing dance routines in nothing but her lacy underwear and a set of ballet shoes with the blinds and curtains open.   Watching her lithe body twist and twirl about her studio made him blush, but also he was kinda amazed by her flexibility and maybe a tiny bit jealous. 
He really wanted to get back to working out and actually missed yoga now.  By the time he got this cast off he’d have lost so much ground it would feel like starting all over again like when he’d gotten in shape for the Seals and it was going to suck balls and not in the fun way. 
He’d nicknamed her Tiny Dancer because she seemed to like Elton John as a few of the songs she listened to loud enough for him to hear he’d looked up were by him.  The ribbing Chim had given him for not recognizing Elton John’s music had sent him down another rabbit hole on Spotify and he now had a few of those songs on his regular playlists. 
Below Tiny Dancer was a couple’s apartment.  The woman was home a lot and her husband appeared to be a traveling salesman of some sort as they were constantly getting deliveries of boxes with the same logo that the man would then take smaller boxes out of and put in a wheeled luggage carrier that he took with him every day when he left.  The wife didn’t appear to work, having some sort of infirmity that kept her mostly apartment bound and she spent most of her day in the bedroom with the curtains drawn and lights off. 
The garden apartment is occupied by a woman Buck judges to be in her early forties that he’s dubbed Miss Lonely Heart because she has a string of dates that she cooks for—never the same man. He notices that she has a repeating pattern where she’ll go out for several nights a week and then invite the man back so she can show off her cooking skills.  
Buck can always tell when she has a date that night because she spends hours in her kitchen preparing a fantastic feast for the man of the night, which he’s never seen one after their first appearance.  They’re all generic guys that, in his opinion, seem to be after one thing and make him think twice-divorced or secretly married on sight.  Miss Lonely Heart willingly goes into her bedroom with them but they all sneak out and it hurts her every time when she wakes up alone, listening to sad blues music that reminds him of New Orleans.  
He’s proud of her that she doesn’t keep inviting them back.  If they’re stupid enough to sneak out on her then they’re not worthy of her cooking.  Sooner or later, Buck thinks she’ll find a keeper.
