THIS ENDED UP BEING LONG… SORRY….
What if Hyacinth pieces it together himself, like he did with him being a Grimwalker?
He’s a smart kid, a scientist, even. When they’re curious about something, they spend a lot of time wondering about the answers. And there’s a lot of things about their dad that make him Wonder.
He wonders why his dad always stays in the shallow end of the water when they go to the beach (if he even gets in at all). He wonders why his dad got all tense and nervous that one time Hyacinth had asked him if they could do the body swapping spell together.
(Hyacinth had wanted to compare their pain levels and see how having full control of their fingers felt like. Willow had jumped into the conversation a little too quickly, offering herself as a subject for his research. “You can even do spell circles if we’re the ones switching!” she’d said. It was a good argument, for sure.—one that Hyacinth had jumped on in an instant—but they still wondered.)
And he really, REALLY wonders why his dad doesn’t have the eyes he had as a kid anymore. They’d gotten the kid-friendly version when they were younger, sure. Hunter’s first palisman saved his life and now Hunter carries Flapjack with him wherever he goes. But now that Hyacinth’s older, they wonder how much Flapjack had to give for Hunter to wear his eyes and carry his spirit, and how much Hunter would have had to have lost in order to need it.
One day, he’ll ask. Or maybe one day his dad will tell. One day. When they’re ready
Dude I could’ve sworn I answered this but holy shit I read it last night (and passed out) and NEEDED A MOMENT !!!!! IM SO UNWELL IM
FUCK!!!!!!!!

Working with Water
Tumblr media
Welcome to the first part of my elemental series! Today we will explore some aspects of working with water like offerings, devotional activities, common lessons, aspects, and more! With all that said lets get started!
To preface: I am a devotee to water itself, I am a west witch practioner which means I work within the domain of water, the past, divination, and psyche! I also am a general elemental practioner and have experience working with all of the elements and their aspects!
What is working with water like?
The verified gnosis depends on what pantheon or historical significance we are looking at, however some things are constant! Water is fluid, represents motion and an unbridled force, but people can work with aspects of water! Water doesnt have a gender (neither do any of the elements) so asking during a working relationship is a great way to bond! Some people use she, he, they, and anything inbetween mainly because there are a lot of dynamics world wide!
In general, Water is primordial, being one of the first elements on the planet to house life as the primordial soup. In general her energy carries this! It has many aspects, from ocean, abyss, stream, river, and more, and spirits/traditions change depending on where you are looking! It mainly has to do with formations on the earth and how water presents to you!
Some people who work with more general bodies like streams, rivers, and lakes have a more relaxed time, learning more about how to go with the flow, tackle divination, and working with aspects of transcendence as many bodies of waters were considered to be portals. When it comes to larger and deeper bodies of water like ocean, abyss, and the primordial soup you will learn lessons more about the human condition, shadow work, and taking on the past.
Some things to note, waters personality is not set in stone, however elements are not omnipotent or omnipresent because they physically exist, its best to call on the energies of the elements before attempting to interact, and this also means they wont be around you all the time. Also, do not be suprised if an element isnt kind to you from the start. In a lot of cultures, elements dislike what we are doing to our planet and in general water may mention the plastic problem and pollution and encourage you to clean up our lands! Its important to remember that to the elements we are simply animals like any other bear, bird, or deer! Remember that you can learn a lot from a distance, so dont be offended if water would rather have you observe nature rather than directly give you answers via divination. UPG: In my experience water tends to be a portal, it is stoic, never saying 'i love you' or 'im proud' simply because it doesnt follow the human system of love. It is billions of years old and interestingly enough, water does rule over the psyche and past and is extremely emotionally intelligent, but has a preference in showing someone how to love themselves rather than giving out the term itself. It humanizes the element too much. Another aspect is even as a devotee it isnt heavy ritual work, a lot of it is introspection and action based!
A good thing to note is water does have a primordial “womb” aspect because of the Primordial soup! Most of the elements will have a birth aspect. On the contrary Water also has a death aspect within Abyss (the darker element) as it relates to death and the shadows. Working with these entities follows a similar feel to working with water itself, however the primordial soup teaches more about the human condition and what it means to evolve, while abyss teaches how to accept our darker flaws and translate them into good.
What are common offerings?
Most people place altars to water in wet rooms, bathrooms, and showers! Or at least near entrances and thresholds! Water tends to enjoy hand picked items, items from your adventures, and things you find interesting in your research. It tends to really enjoy having a set space.
There is heavy emphasis on action, and usually there are types of offerings! Net Positive, Net Negative, and Neutral! Positive offerings are anything that benefits the water ways which include beach clean ups, enjoying the water with reef safe sun screen, and creating a floating fish feeder! Neutral offerings refer to offerings that neither help nor harm water ways mainly is taking things home and charging them in moon light or on an altar then bringing them back, introducing native florals or herbs to a water way, or creating a biodegradable floating offering. Practicing at home in your shower or with drinking water usually is neutral or even positive. Net Negative are any offerings that negatively impact waterways like introducing salt from an offering, floating non-native florals and herbs, adding crystals to the environment.
Its important that you are aware of the offerings you introduce into your area, research is the key, and if you cant and still want to honor water look into how to conserve water in your own home like creating moon water from potable water, creating potions and other things in a respectful manner, and practicing safely
Some common practices include visiting local water spots, clean ups, potion crafting, collecting waters like moon or rain, meditating during water moments like during rain, cleaning up your bathroom or mudroom, enjoying shower and bathing magic, using steam, and so much more!

How to start with Witchcraft and do you know any easy love spell?
to start witchcraft, i suggest researching wards and other protection spells first of all. get a good idea of how spells work and are done. try some out yourself, ideally your first spells should be protection spells/charms just to be safe, but after that you can do whatever you wish.
for love spells… theres lots of ethical arguments about them that i suggest you look into before doing one, and my stance (and the most common one ime) is that love spells are fine as long as youre not targeting one specific person (unless its a self-love spell ofc). its best to do a love spell where you attract a partner with a bunch of specific qualities that you like, instead of doing a spell to make your neighbor Sarah fall in love with you, yk? there are many reasons for this that you can research on your own if you want. anyway, you did ask for a love spell, so here is one!
this spell utilizes the five elements and also venus, the planet or the goddess (or another love goddess, whichever you prefer).
ingredients:
paper & pen(cil), red or pink ink/lead is best
love crystals such as rose quartz, rhodonite, and garnet
candle (best if pink or red) & lighter or match
rose water, or charged (moon or sun) water with rose petals in it
rose incense
a venus symbol (like ♀) or a photo or statue of a love deity, or whatever you believe in. a petition to venus (the planet or goddess, or to another love deity) are also good instead
sugar
write on the paper all the qualities of your ideal partner. it can be physical traits, personality traits, things theyve done, things they own, how you two will interact, literally write down everything you want, as general or specific as you wish. again, its best not to have a specific person in mind, so keep your mind open that they likely wont look EXACTLY how they might first appear in your mind. also, dont write down their name (though you can say like “they have a pretty name” or “their last name sounds good after my first name” lol). this doesn’t just have to be one paper either, you can fill up multiple papers. take as long as you want on this (even multiple days if you want, it doesnt matter) and perfect it.
when your papers are done, sit down at a table where you want to do your spell. its best to be alone and have no distractions, so in a quiet area (or you can put on lovey music if you want) with your notifs turned off on your phone. take your sugar and make a pentagram shape on the table (a star like ⛤). on the top point, put your venus symbol/photo/statue. going clockwise, put the charged water/rose water on the next point. then put the candle on the next point, the crystals on the next, and the incense on the final point (which should be top left if youve done it in the right order). in the center of the pentagram, put your paper(s) that list the qualities you want in your partner.
with your lighter or match, light the candle and say “by the power of fire, i attract this person to me.” then light the incense, saying “by the power of air, i attract this person to me.” then stir the water clockwise (with your finger, or a spoon, or a rose stem, whatever) while saying “by the power of water, i attract this person to me.” then form the crystals you have into a heart shape (or, if you dont have enough crystals, just grab the biggest one and drag it across the table around the other crystals in a heart shape) while saying “by the power of earth, i attract this person to me.” finally, look to your venus/love deity depictions, and reach your hands above your head with your palms facing upwards. then say, “by the power of spirit, i call upon venus (the planet, or whatever love deity you chose) and attract this person to me. may we find each other soon and love each other truly.”
look into your emotions and feel the love thats all around you. every element that makes up this world can, in some way, embody and attract love, and the best examples of each are sat on the table right there. feel the energies of everything laid out in front of you, the scents and maybe music surrounding you, the joy you feel when thinking about this perfect person of yours and the excitement of getting together with them and living out your best lives together. think of how incredible it is, bask in that love, daydream about you and them, sit there for as long as you like doing just that.
when you feel satisfied that youre done with that, say something to thank the powers invoked and to end the spell, like “thank you all, so mote it be/so it is/this spell is concluded,” something like that. then turn off any music, blow out the candle and extinguish the incense if theyre still going (if you want), pour out the water (you can dab some on your forehead or over your heart first if you want), return the crystals to where you normally keep them, and do whatever you wish with your venus depictions (like if you had a statue put it back on her altar, or if you just wrote a symbol on a sticky note then you can rip that up or burn it, or whatever you wanna do). finally you can clean up the sugar and put everything back to how it was before. the papers you can keep with you, maybe put them under your pillow up until the next friday, and then keep them somewhere safe like in a drawer or folder or binder. its best not to dispose of them ever.
if you worked with a love deity for this spell, you can also give them some extra offerings as well sometime afterwards just to help your relationship. maybe some food offerings or libations or something, maybe a new statue, whatever you want just as extra appreciation for helping with the spell.
anyway, thats it! hope this works for you, and you enjoy it :)
before i end this, to help start you on your witchcraft journey, id also like to recommend some podcasts (who also have great blogs on here btw): Hex Positive by Bree NicGarran (she has an episode on love magic about the ethical debates & a love spell similar to the one i made here iirc), and BS-Free Witchcraft by Trae Dorn. love them. good luck!!

I have sooooo many ideas for a hypothetical new skillset for ashe in s3. Like
ive been cooking like crazy n rambling to my friends. Like the only thing they could do is give ashe cool tech stuff. He'd either be the guy in the chair or have cool tech like cantrip. I think story wise it makes since for her to be the guy in the chair but playing wise if yakko did return i feel like thatd get boring after a while, like if he was staying in the show longterm eventually the whole guy in the chair setup would probably get very limiting roleplay wise
so i just. Went crazy thinking about cool tech stuff they'd have
-big mechanical arm. mechanical equivalent of the big demon arm bcuz it was cool
-short distance teleport to easily withdraw from combat / switch between inperson and guy in the chair. professor cross already had the temporary long term teleport machine im sure he could figure out something like this especially given williams literal dimension crossing new ability they can research that a bit im sure they could figure it out
-more guy in the chair abilities. he has hologram panels and does cool stuff hehehe
-bonus! With the hc of her using mobility aids i thought of a super cool way to like. Build them into the tech. so i was doing forearm crutches before but like what if it was like those mechanical spider legs some characters have they just attach to the wall and hover there you know. so its kinda like that but more like a crutch without the hand usage so they can still mess with the panels n do things whatever they need to do. its like an extra mechanical limb that specifically is like strong enough to support her without putting too much stress on his body if that makes sense ? and then they move it around with a controller. Like. Like gaming.
Its literally just motion controls. and then the buttons are for like controlling slash messing with all the panels n things whatever he can do mechanic wise with that. as well as just movement. idk does that make sense. But i am so normal about the idea of it literally just being gaming its literally gaming its just motion controls and i love that LMAO
-another bonus. this ones more self indulgent but as you may know. i am the #1 water fairy enthusiast so i say. that post i made of will finding water fairy in spirit world and giving them back to ashe is canon and so water fairy helps ashe in combat too :)
-ice spears, can do stuff with water a bit, and ice, maybe they can make like a sorta fog slash mist like a rlly cold mist like with the ice ability ? maybe steam?? Idk the fog aesthetic with ashe is so cool
-ashe still has his heelies she has great movement. bonus heelies can switch to ice skates to skate on ice water fairy creates >:)
-maybe water fairy can make like an ice spear but an ice SCYTHE??? or some other cool ice weapon for ashe to use
-also ashe has wings! Idk if they would or wouldnt be able to fly but if they could then thats a whole nother thing she can do thats movement based >:))

Hey! I just saw the intuitive readings post and I wanted to join!
Just like Samantha, I am manifesting different things, so I thought the reading could be about that. I've been also working on perfectioning my self-concept so I can shift on command, I already shifted but I'm still not on those levels yet ahahah.
Since everyone is putting their sign, I'm a leo.
HII PINKERINO!!!!!! OMG ITS SOO COOL HIW U HABE SHIFTED!! i started reading ur blog and im being rlly nosy 🥰
everyone follow pinkerino bc he is sooooooo cool!!! i’m genuinely so inspired by you!!! i want to be like u one day, and i really look up to you!!! i’m fairly sure i actually saw your blog in a dream before… it feels so familiar! i’m pretty sure in that dream seeing ur blog was my final push…
ANYWAYS ENOUGH ABT NE IN SO DISTRACTED HEKP!! IM GETTING DISTRACTED AND EXCITED!
“there’s no such thing as perfect.” was the first thing i heard. and there isn’t a “perfect” in any world. once you find yourself, and you can appreciate are agree in it always, that means you’ve found yourself and you can do absolutely anything.
so how do you find yourself? through deep meditation. that’s the first thing i’m hearing. also deep research on astral projection? i don’t know if you’ve done that before, but spirit is very strong about it.
research how to disconnect from your physical body, deep calming techniques. “to get what you want, you gotta use what you got.”
is there something from your past that you used to shift? maybe it can be something similar on command. maybe being really tired, or a yoga pose??
for manifestation, i would suggest going in your waiting room and just deciding that it’s a place where u get whatever u want. or even going to a dr in which u have magic and meditate there!
maybe write in a magic book too??
interesting song!!
“Arise now, sweat, raindrops down my silky flesh But doing up my consciousness Good, good, good now Ability to sleep sound Throughout the star times An illusion, if you just remove it”
“If they were apart and you had no power start or no database Only a shell remains What fun is it, to be so calculated Or be taken advantage of, 'cause your heart's too trusting Silent expressed push my head into my chest Bind them up, forever wed "Don't drift too far, " they said
Help me when I'm too detached and cold Give me the vitality that I need to trust love more Blood to the water, neither can fuel us alone Fervency in my arteries, passion bloomin' through my bones”
asked for a second song for some sort of clarification of this one.
this… doesn’t help? LMFAO
well maybe the words of affirmation? “i’m a bad bitch, im a cunt, and i’ll kick that hoe — punt” is kinda taking down your doubts and all logical reasoning.
so maybe affirm/manifest in a way that is more saying “i already have it, i already am” because… you are?? and u do have it?? LMAO!!”
that’s all i got for u pink! i hope it was accurate!!
leave a review! and i’ll b stalking u for now on 💔😭

Hey peru travel advice if u got any?
please have fun there in the greatest country of south america a very beloved nation 😭💕💕💕💕��💕
try the anticuchos they're amazing. try the lucuma ice cream from the street vendors!!!!! try a pisco sour, try choclo with queso fresco, try lomo saltado, chicha morada, emoliente, ceviche, picarones, papa la huancaiya, tacu tacu, chachangas, etc etc just eat lots of everything nothing is bad. go to a fruit market and try cherimoya. there's also a lot of chinese and japanese and italian food there that has been peruvianified, it's great. the food in peru is fucking amazing, try everything.
when i went i had the massive advantage of staying with and being shown around by my mother's friend who was born and raised in lima, and i was just a teenager so she basically planned everything and i just did whatever she told me to do haha. so im not gonna lie i never really had to do research or worry and idk exactly like .. i can't give the most amazing tips. she took us mainly to educational places like museums, historical sites, churches, at one point she took us to a dairy farm outside lima where they made queso fresco. we also visited a trout farm. like any place you'd expect a class of eighth graders to take a field trip, that's where we went haha. it rocked.
i can say definitely visit the smaller museums and smaller archeological sites. there is a national museum in lima that documents the civil war of the early 90s that i highly recommend. idk if you'll be in lima or huancayo or nazca or macchu pichu or what but wherever you are there are incredible archeological sites to visit nearby. it's not just macchu pichu.
i can also say, we took buses to travel everywhere, including long distances to other cities. we went to small local bus depots and i was usually the only person on them that wasn't from peru. i found that traveling this way was very cheap, and i saw extraordinary scenery, and there were sometimes good food vendors on the bus, or on very long distance drives, the driver would sometimes stop at a good restaurant that was very cheap. i loved it. one time going back from huancayo to lima, the bus did break down a bunch of times delaying our trip by several hours, but even that was one to the most extraordinary experiences of my life. driving through those mountains and forests, down into the vast desert and towards the coast, during the most beautiful sunrise ive ever seen in my life, made the inconvenience and discomfort more than worth it. these long distance buses are usually pretty nice, too, they're very similar to an american greyhound. so i would really recommend that especially if you know someone there or are balling on a budget.
on the practical side of things, do not drink or brush your teeth with unboiled tap water. you'll get sick. my friend didn't drink any but brushed her teeth with it, and she got sick as a dog and couldn't come to nazca with us.
also, peru has very strict wildlife exportation laws, so be cautious about bringing home any souvenirs made out of wild animals or wild animal products, bc they will probably be confiscated from you when you get back home. alpacas are domesticated so you're good there.
also i think you should buy a huge bottle of vanilla from a local market bc the vanilla there is delicious
it's been my observation that peruvian culture is very kind and polite. ppl don't make a lot of eye contact but everyone is really cool. idk if you're fluent in spanish or anything but don't be nervous about trying to speak it if you're not that good, and try to be very kind to ppl, bc there's a really generous and welcoming spirit, ppl will be kind to you.
if you need a doctor, just go, bc it's super cheap, like twenty bucks for an appointment.
don't worry about the elevation. just drink a lot of water and bring some excedrin. don't be a weenie it's a once in a lifetime experience!
i love peru so much it's very close to my heart. im so glad you're going, please tell me how things go!!!!!!!

🔮Things beginner witches should research🔮
✨different types of witches. find the labels, the terminology, and pay attention to the ones you connect with the most. research those more in depth. i did this in the beginning of my craft and i starred green witchcraft and kitchen witchcraft, which have become a big foundation to my craft, and hedge witchcraft, and now im an aspiring spirit worker.
✨the difference between witch, wiccan, and pagan. wicca has dominated a lot of sources, so make sure you know the difference, especially if you’re trying to avoid wicca.
✨the history of witchcraft and different practices. especially the practices you are interested in doing.
✨pick one herb. literally just one. research its folklore and its properties. don’t overwhelm yourself trying to research all the herbs that ever exist; just one. then you can decide if you want to continue researching herbs or move onto something else. same goes for crystals. pick just one to start.
✨if you’re interested in religion, research different religions; open and closed. remember that (as long as the information is open) you can research closed practices; you just cant DO them. it will also help you determine what religions you feel drawn to. some closed religions and practices are open by initiation, and if that is something that interests you, you can do research into how initiations work, where they happen, and if you would be able to be initiated. also remember that you do not have to be religious to do witchcraft!! if that interests you, research secular witchcraft.
✨protection and cleansing. i tend to lump these together because they go hand in hand. research how to cleanse protect yourself and how to cleanse and protect your space.
✨how to set up an altar. not every witch has an altar and you don’t have to! but if you’re interested in one, research how to set one up. going out and collecting rocks, water, and flowers for my altar was what i consider the real beginning of my practice.
remember that all of these are just suggestions!! i just remember feeling overwhelmed with all the other lists and i know im not the only one, so i thought this could help! and, there are many other things you can research; most importantly, look into what piques your interest.
Remember this is YOUR path!
Don't let anyone push anything on to you! If it don't feel or sound right ...trust your intuition
BB!

Juice fast 💖💖💖
It’s pretty much day two of 3 day juice fast. Im doing this for spiritual and weight loss reasons. It’s ginger , green apples, and celery. My favorite juice recipe. I have a cold press juicer. Definitely gone juice more this year. And strengthen my immune system. And heal and rid of this cough by eating fruits and veggies until I knock this cough out of me.
Day two is a breeze. It’s mind over matter. What you believe in comes true. So telling myself I can be disciplined and complete juice fast without food. And working on drinking plain water and no water enhancements. I did 30 min cardio this morning. Might do a night session. Need charge my Fitbit. And research and plan spiritual showers and candle spells and sugar jars. But mostly kitchen magick. Food is for enjoyment and nourishment. My body will be healthy and shed more weight and more trauma. It’s my time to shine.
Spirit and ancestors all I need and I know my worth and ignoring my haters. I always been a bad bitch. I’m on my Hoe shit. Only want men who spend racks on me. Definitely drink more ginger juice for cough. Hoes not on my level. At the end of the day I’m a bad bitch and bad bitches love. I use my brain and beauty to always get my way. I want to juice every other week for health, spiritual and weight loss reasons.
Circumstances and my current reality do not matter when i already know my story already exist and manifesting is instant. You determine how fast or slow happens when it comes to your core beliefs. I get everything instantly. I love being high and speaking my shit. Definitely drinking ginger cough. And take my acid reflux and allergy medication for coughing too. And daytime meds for my cough.

When you say you aren’t theirs, Boys edition
Characters included: Albedo, Bennett, Chongyun, Diluc, Gorou, K. Kazuha, Kaeya, Scaramouche,Tartaglia/Childe/Ajax, Traveler, Thoma, Venti, Xiao, Xingqiu, Zhongli
Notes: will go in alphabetical order. Some of these may be a bit too ooc, but then this is a yandere blog and all characters are ooc so. Also some are short I apologize. Also I reread this and it’s like.. slowly how they suck you in too so. I’m sorry ajdnjdnsjnd im terrible at keeping on track. Even so, enjoy.
Reblogs and likes very appreciated
Do not interact if you’re not interested in pain, manipulative actions, blood, gore, or toxic relationships
Albedo
He’ll frown and slowly walk towards you, each step echoing through the cave of Dragonspine that you’d set as a research lab.
Then he’ll slowly reach out, grabbing your hair.
“If You don’t belong to me, then leave.” He suggests coldly.
You try only to find it impossible, for the ice has covered your heavy boots and glued you to the cave floor.
Albedo smiles. “See? You are mine, Y/n.” He chirps before handing you a potion. “And this’ll make sure everyone knows who you belong to…”
Bennett
I don’t think Bennett would take it well at all.
You were probably exploring some forest of Mondstadt, maybe some ruins even, when he lets it slip that you’re his.
After you refuse, the air gets hot around you. You’re suddenly sweating. “B-Bennett?” You stutter.
Bennett says nothing as he walks towards you, wrapping an hand around your wrist. The way your heart pumps blood in heated fear is intoxicating to him.
“…You’re not part of Benny’s adventure team?” He asks sweetly. The bad luck is getting to him. “You, the sweetest thing I own, wanna leave?”
“I didn’t say that! I’m just not yours to own…” you explain, sweat dripping down your skull.
“Well that’s what I heard. And it’s not gonna happen.” Before you can question him, searing pain bursts into your wrist. “Now everyone, even you, will know you’re mine.” He murmurs while brushing your hair consolingly, as if he hadn’t just burned you.
Chongyun
“Surely an evil spirit is inside your body,” Chongyun will claim. He’ll inspect every inch, despite the little part that knows his yang spirit would’ve scared your possessed self away.
“I am not possessed.” You hiss, swatting his hand away. Tired, cold, tied up, sore. “Let me out.”
“But… how can I exorcise evil spirits without you, my precious yin spirit?”
“Like hell if I know! I’m not some tool, some puppet for you to use.” You snap.
“I know, Y/n. That’s why I keep you locked up, where it’s safe. Because you’re my precious Y/n.” He explains, cocking his head to the side.
Before you can stop him, he’s shoved his lips on yours, claiming you fully, pulling you closer with his strength.
Diluc
Diluc would let you loose in the wild, I think. Far from civilization and help, but not far from him. And, worse still, from water and food.
You wander for hours, dehydrated and hungry. The sun is pounding at you back.
He lets you call out his name. “Diluc, please. Help.”
“Oh? So if I’m not your master, then why are you calling my name?”
He gets you to come to him. You become his after calling out for his help, and you know this.
Gorou
Gorou is evidently part dog… so when he’s Yandere, I see him acting more wolfish and territorial than he is from what we’ve seen.
Therefore he’ll be constantly biting your body, to the point of drawing blood.
I imagine that he’s one of the worst when it comes to the words ‘I’m not yours’ because of his territorial instinct.
Like I mentioned, he’s constantly biting you to remind you just who’s the boss. The General here. But the first time…
Well, when he tastes blood, he’ll usually stop biting. But the first time he didn’t, instead letting you cry and bleed all over him.
“If this doesn’t make you mine, then I’ll just have to bathe you in a river of blood, yeah?”
Kaedehara Kazuha
Dear god Kazuha would not take it well. He may be a free spirit, and you may be by his side often, but you’re most certainly not free.
He makes this clear through every word he says. “Dear,” “my precious dove,” “princess,” are all nicknames he’s fond of calling you.
But when he calls you by your name… it’s derogatory, demanding, and most certainly claiming.
This man used to be a noble, he’s not unused to calling people out on their shit. And so that’s how he lays stake to you. Your own name turns into a collar for him to pull on should you step out of line.
But if you don’t let yourself be reigned in… he’ll get even nastier.
Kazuha is a “tame” Yandere. Like the Traveler and Venti, he very much values a person’s freedom and will to choose.
That said, when it’s his darling, he’s not afraid to go the extra mile, especially when the darling is being disobedient.
He’ll take it a step at first. “Y/n, don’t be such a bad girl/boy- come here like a good slave.”
If you still don’t listen he uses threats. “Continue acting like a disobedient dog and I’ll have to treat you like one. Which shall we use, hm? The ropes or the chains? You would look so… pretty in both, I’m sure.”
Kaeya
How should I put it…. Kaeya is a good looker, as well as a very manipulative person. He knows how to use his words.
Like Bennett, he’ll somewhat guilt you into his arms.
Then he’ll whisper in your ear, tight grip against your hips: “see? You’re all mine~”
Sorry about this idk too much about yan Kaeya
Scaramouche
As everyone knows, Scaramouche is very much a vocalist at his disproval. Or his anger. Or any emotion, really.
So when he starts to speak with an edge to his voice after you tell him “I’m not yours”, you know you’re in for something intense and painful.
Scaramouche won’t even try to hide it when he grabs you wrist, electro tingling up your arm, and drags you away to thw hotel he’s staying at while taking care of Harbinger business.
He’ll quickly tie you to a bed post and possibly strip you to your underwear before scolding you with his tongue alone.
“Look at you, sitting there, almost in your nothings. You’re my little bitch, understand? And if not-“ lightning trails up your feet, drawing a scream “then I’ll have to pound it into your skull.”
Tartaglia
Tartaglia is another of the pain to claim their darling squad.
He loves watching people suffer, watching their brains go into panic mode and try to get them out of the situation.
He loves the battle.
So he makes a bet- an absurd one.
If you win, then you’re free. If he wins, you’re his forever.
He’ll eventually get you to agree. And, of course, he’ll win. With your freedom in his hands, how could he not?
So after this battle he quickly topples you, making it clear you belong to him with his words, actions, and most importantly… your own pain.
Traveler (Aether)
Yan!Aether is also like Kazuha in that he won’t chain you up or reel you in literally.
I think that Abyss!Aether is pretty much yandere Aether to be honest. But he’ll most certainly want you by his side.
So he’ll invite you places. Whether it’s treasure, cooking, or even a walk- he’ll always get you to be next to him somehow.
And after you say you’re not an inanimate object for him to claim, he’ll agree.
You aren’t an object. Least of all to him. But he loves you, and he himself has said it best
“We have all the time in the world…” for you to realize that you belong to him.
Thoma
Ahhh Thoma. Sweet fixer Thoma is quick to make it obvious that he’s infatuated with you.
Of course, should you say you don’t feel the same, don’t worry- he’ll get you too. Whether it’s being there when you need to cry or you’re so sleepy and he’ll let you sleep on his shoulder, he’s sure to win your heart- or at least a space in your pretty head.
So when you feel yourself falling or are about to be overwhelmed by enemies, his is the first name you’ll call.
“See? I knew you loved me.” He smirks cockily. Then he presses a gentle kiss against your nose, sly but informing to an outsider. Mine.
Venti
Sweet god of freedom Venti. He’ll quickly reveal that he’s not as sweet as you really think.
So when you say that you’re not his, or you don’t find him in a romantic light, he’ll smile.
Venti’s smile is enchanting. It can only be described as a kiss by the wind. And while you’re busy staring at his smile, he’ll pull out his precious lyre, and sing you to sleep.
Next thing you know, the winds will bow down to your cries and vision bearers will slowly edge away before you can get too close.
For the god of freedom has left his mark upon you, where you cannot see. The wind has left its mark, just where those who are the most likely to intervene will see.
Xiao
Xiao has never been in love like this. He is happy to avoid humans- and be avoided by humans. That is, unless it’s you.
So when you go onto the Inn roof and tell him that you’re going to another place, and likely won’t see him, he decides right then and there he can’t have that.
Xiao may be a little socially awkward, but he’s smart.
So when he offers to show you Jueyun Karst, the adeptal realm, you’re not suspecting of anything.
But when you suddenly feel a hand against your other wrist, you scream for help. The only one who hears you is Xiao.
Not even Moon Carver will intervene, for he simply doesn’t care. Or know that this isn’t love. This is infatuation, and cruelty.
Xiao presses you against his chest after he ties you up, assuring himself that you’re not getting out of the knots.
He keeps you locked in his abode after that, able to keep you from leaving, and leaves you to every whim he has.
Xingqiu
The only thing for certain is that Xingqiu reads quite a bit. So he’ll have plenty of plans and backup plans should he fail to capture you or win your heart.
However, I see him being a mix of Thoma and Scaramouche.
When the sweet dates don’t receive you like he wants, he resorts to pain and fear.
Zhongli
The god of contracts will use a contract to claim you. He will use your family or friends to manipulate you into agreeing to be his.
And if you ever want to break the contract… we know how that goes. He will be angry, upset.
Zhongli is the most likely to physically hit you in my mind. Like slap you. Unlike Bennett and Scaramouche, he will use degradation and force.
“You want to break the contract? Then I can do whatever I please with you, Y/n… for the contract stated that I would not lay a finger upon you, but that is broken now, isn’t it?

what the gaang & co. would dress up as for halloween.
aang: aang decides to be the michelin man. no one knows why. he refuses to explain his decision process.
katara: katara handmade an exact replica of the broadway cinderella gown that transforms from the rags to the ballgown. HANDMADE. AND ITS A FLAWLESS TRANSITION. she also added a feature to make it deteriorate when the clock strikes 12 at the costume party but instead of going back to rags she becomes zombie cinderella. THREE IS ONE PEOPLE. katara did not come to play.
sokka: elton john. sokka ALSO did not come to play. he has an exact replica of elton’s iconic white suit with the feather shoulder pads AND a costume change into the bedazzled dodgers costume. the water tribe siblings take halloween very seriously.
toph: john cena. she trusts katara to get the costume for her. everyone says “hey toph, why john cena?” her response you ask?: “i cant see you so now you cant see me.” major creativity points.
zuko: okay listen… this manz dressed up at the blue spirit for shits n gigs during his stint as a vigilante as an outlet for his teen angst. who is the real world equivalent of the blue spirit? the phantom of the opera. im so sorry but you know this is who zuko would go as. he then takes off his mask and someone says his scar makeup is rlly good. zuko is torn between saying “thanks my dad helped do it” like the little shit he is or punting them across the backyard.
suki: the bride from kill bill. this needs no explanation.
yue: an old lady. she looks fantastic. she was like old ladies have white hair. i have white hair. old ladies wear cardigans. i love cardigans. its perfect. she goes all out for her makeup. its a really good costume. she even has an old lady accent and walk that she uses the whole halloween party. what a legend.
jet: spike speigel from cowboy bebop. i have never seen cowboy bebop. but ive seen spike before. jet could pull it off. he has the hair. yes i did have to do research into figuring out spikes name and what he was from because i saw pictures of him before and it took me a while but i did it. so jet is spike. thats it.
haru: jack sparrow. its the only time his mustache has come in handy.
azula: elizabeth swann. she is FURIOUS when she sees haru because now everyone is going to assume they are there together. she looks great tho. but she is mad. mad mad mad.
mai: ty lee. she lost a bet.
ty lee: mai. she won a bet.

Food. 1)
at the 2746 solar system, me and my crew landed on their international space station to prepare for tomorrows culture exchange. (the space inhabitants wants to understand us more apprently) me and my crew of 7 humans were the representatives foer almost every thing and i dislike that is because neither me nor my crew can rest and we have to travel everywhere (feuls expensive you know?) after we landed, we figured that what they wanted to talk about this time is food as there are a lot of stalls here in the station that are selling herbs, meat and other foods.
however, all of them were either raw meat or non cleansed plants, so me and my team ate our supplied foods as we dont have induction cookers nor anything to cook the foods and we dont want to risk having any food poinoning or stomach aches for tomorrow. we retired to our guest house early. tomorrow, we woke up quite early and proceeded to the meeting place (which we took a transportation route ??? we still dont understand how this thing works) we seem to be a bit early as there were only a few representative teams there. soon everyone is here. and just like I predicted, we were talking about foods. "Team Leader Steve, in what category are your species in?" a research team member asked me. " I would say we are Ominvores, we all eat both meat and plants." " thats wonderful! what type of plants or meat of animals that you prefer to eat usually?" my team and i are...super confused. wow how the tables have turned, they are usually the ones confused but now were getting confused at their way of asking questions. "pardon we dont quite get what your trying to ask..?" one of my team member, Jay, asked. "oh so sorry, i suddenly got excited and engaged in casual talking tone. i was asking is what do you all usually eat from both animal and plants. like how bear prefers fish and berries but could also eat honey or fruits." "ooh! okay we get it now" jay said with a smile. "it actually depends on where we live, we usually eat something call bread, which is made from yeast and flour. And humans from the east eats Braised Rice with Pork and Soy Sauce. And most of us eats chicken and beef." Jay ended the sentence with a smile too, but everyone looked at us as if we are children who showed their parents a dead mice and said its a gift and then starts to suspect if their kid is a cat spirit. "did we say something wrong?" asked one of my team members, Julia. "do all of you not eat the meat straight out of the animal? or not stright from the ground if tis plants? isnt that more fresh?"
"thats right, we heard from cooperation that you all had looked at the foods that they sold and yet you all didnt buy anything. and ended up eating your own supplied food! i knew you all were a bit weird but braised pork? why would you need to braise pork?" "and flour? whats that? is that a new kind of plant only in your planet?" " and what is soy sauce? is it some kind of liquid you all drink with your braised pork? i heard you humans like eating and drinking at the same time." we were suddenly bombared with questions that normally, they would ask slowly. "please settle down everyone! the humans may get overwhelmed by this sudden burst of questions!" and everyone settled down. (thank you commander :"D) we then proceeded to explain how we clean our food and then cook them to a certain level and then only to eat the said food. we also explain how we store and sell meat and plants so they always stay fresh no matter what. (ofc until the expirey date {also explained this to them}) (and also table ettique and manners) after the explanation, they were confused and shocked. "i dont think any of us expected to hear such barbaric kind to clean themselves and their food before eating. thought they would just use their so called fingers to eat fresh meat! " someperson suddenly said. it was the Gardos, a species that hated humans because we may be predators but we look like prey. Since we were sentenced as Predators, they said that they were ashamed of the galactic union as how can such small and frail creatures be classified as prdators? but they also look into table manners, they eat with utensils and were the first ever predator to do that when others eat with their hands (or hooves or claws). we didnt bother as we continued to explain our way of preparing and cooking food. lots of the tohers also didnt know why we were classified as preadators as in their eyes we are adorable creatures apparently. so they all aggreed to what we said and took notes. we were ordered to pass a report on all of our food and what ingredient they contain as they are afriad that most of the food may end up poinonous to other species. we all said our thanks and goodbyes and went to our ship. ------------------------------------------------------------------ a few months later, space travel wtih humans are now for some reason somewhat compulsory. on a ship with a human and other species, all of the diffrent species of aliens aboard were thrilled to see me. apprently. i heard that humans (my species) is..cute? ”oh dear human, we are glad you can join us with our adventure!“ The captain said. " yes yes! i always wanted to see a human! working with one is a dream come true!" one of the other alien (she looks like a fluffy dragon!) said after all the introduction, we went straight to work. after that, it is time for food! (yes yes food! ugh my best friend) then i figured that i would cook instead of eating packaged food. so i went to a cooking room. (it was put there to supply the air with enough oxygen and the used gas as fuel for the ship) one alien came with me as she wanted to see how i prepare and cook our so called food. i was planning on cooking pasta today. so i roughly prepared everything and started to strain the noodles. until syehtrnscik (shy-thern-shec- shick) the fluffy dragon asked me ”why do you need to pour the water out? i mean, its okay to eat it together right?" i was stunned. but i remembered im not on earth. so i calmly explain how to make pasta and the reasons for each step. until i finished explaning, my food was ready and i brought it to the cafetiria. everyone looked at the food in my hands and looked towards syehtrnscik. somehow i can feel that their eyes are filled with jealousy because she got to see me cook. but either way i enjoyed my lunch with all of my team mates, i really look foward to the future with them!

Hi Scarlet! I just discovered your blog and it’s amazing! I’m extremely new to spirit work but I’m eager to learn. So I was wondering if you could post some methods for protection and communication related to the spirit work. Sorry if you’ve already done it. I just couldn’t find it.
A small P.S: please explain as if you are writing to a total idiot
Thank you in advance!
╰(*´︶`*)╯♡
Tumblr media Tumblr media
First off, Thank you very much. Even though im a new blog i am honored that you came to me with questions.
Gonna be real with you. Spirit work can be, will be and is dangerous. Point. Blank. Period. Now some may argue that it isn't, BUT it is. At least the potential for danger is extremely high for the unknowing beginner.
Since you are extremely new and im guessing have no experience yet, lets not jump into the deep- end of spirit communicating just yet. And here's why;
Unless you can tell me that you've done the research i cant give much info on how to communicate or ward as it took me years to get where I am as i started with energy work before spirit work, and im still continuously learning. I feel a good question a beginner should ask themselves is, "Why do I want to work with spirits? What is it that I want to get out of these experiences?"
In any regards i can only tell you to start looking towards Barns and Noble or a reputable spiritual shop to find books on this topic rather than to come to tumblr for sources. Though 2 books I can recommend than i thought was informative that i used and reworked to my own practice is;
Summoning spirits: The Art of Magical Evocation by Konstantinos
Encyclopedia of Spirits by Judika Illes
And as far as warding goes there's multiple different ways.
Smoke Cleansing your room
Crystal water spray cleansing
Sigil warding (Making art symbols to combat negative energy/entities)
Bell cleansing
Bone shaking
The Lesser Banishing ritual
So I guess my advice would be read up on whatever you feel attracted to before ever trying to make contact. Contact should be last, as it would be more appropriate to gain knowledge on how to talk to said creatures and act around them. Next would be finding ways to communicate. This doesn't mean making contact, just means looking into what way of communication feels comfortable for you and the entity. Tarot? Oracle Cards? Pendulum? etc etc . . anyways, you need to practice and hone your skill in divination before trying to clearly make full contact with a new unknown being. Always good to start off with talking to Angels sense they don't quite judge when someone is starting out and need protection when they practice. Not to say there aren't other beings who would be good for beginners but I feel Angels tend to be the most common and safe choice to start with. Them and elemental beings.

god, i just - can you imagine what zelda went through on her seventeenth birthday?
this is her last chance to awaken her powers. she’s spent her whole life begging to her goddess, the one whose blood runs through her veins, to help her, and she’s had nothing but silence. all of hyrule, all its peoples, are relying on her, watching her, and all she can do is disappoint them. she knows what she’s good at, what she excels at - zelda is a scientist, a researcher, a genius, and she knows this ancient technology will save them. it has done so before. but the world isn’t looking for another scientist. the sheikah are awash with those. they need the princess of legend, and this sixteen year old child is failing them, and she doesn’t know how to fix it.
so this is her last chance. finally allowed at the spring of wisdom. you know, when you climb mount lanayru as link, if you aren’t wearing proper, thick clothing, you die within an hour. zelda sits in the freezing waters for hours, in only a thin white sleeveless dress, and begs to a goddess who does not answer. this is her spring, naydra is her dragon, wisdom is her triforce. nothing. her best friend, her loyal knight, stands behind her, silent as always, and he is not disappointing the world. he wields the sword that seals the darkness, and he is a master of his craft. there too are her other friends, champions of their people.
and zelda is pulled away, shivering, because hylia isn’t answering her. she’s failed, again, and it weighs unbearably heavy on this child’s mind. she’s supposed to be the next in the line of chosen princesses, a rich history of powerful and grand women who wielded magic as easy as they breathe, and this zelda is powerless. those talents she does have she clings to her chest, and her father the king bats them down with a sneer.
and then ganon wakes up.
they should be prepared, zelda or no zelda - link has the master sword, ready to defend his people. the champions have the divine beasts, huge and powerful machines that could each tear down an army on their own. hyrule has gathered to it guardians, weapons, towers, and it will stand strong as it did ten thousand years ago - zelda knows this, zelda helped rebuild this army. this is what she has given to her people.
what zelda has given to her people turns against them. no help comes from the champions, spread across hyrule, as the grandest warriors hyrule has to offer are torn to shreds in the places they thought safest. armies of unstoppable machines tear through villages like wet paper, rendering so much of hyrule a wasteland. zelda fixed those machines, tuned those gears, led the sheikah to repair them. demise is screaming over zelda’s home, and zelda knows it is her fault. she did not only fail to wake her powers - powers that could stop ganon - but she aided him in his destruction of her home. link has to tear her away. she has to run.
it is her seventeenth birthday, and in a field surrounded by an impossible amount of guardians, she watches her best friend die saving her life.
of course, this is when her powers wake up. too late, of course, for the champions, for link, for hyrule. all she can do is entrust her best friend’s body to purah and robbie (they’re all but children too, all of them, these teenaged heroes tasked by fate with the weight of so many lives) and pray that the chamber of resurrection will save him someday (because her prayers have done her so much good so far).
she follows the voice of a sword in her head - no sword meant for her. this is the sword that will kill ganon, and she cannot use it. the one who can is dead. it’s her fault it’s broken and burned, and all she can do is lay it at the feet of the great deku tree, older than time counted, and promise it that link - memories or no memories, she has to believe he will come back.
and then she turns around.
zelda has been seventeen for so short a time and it has cost her everything, those few things she could claim were both hers and good. and she turns around and heads to her shattered home - the broken castle already crawling with demons and monsters, with malice and poison and glowing eyes creeping through the once warm halls, and an immortal evil clouding around it. zelda cannot kill ganon. the sword is broken, the hero dead, and the chance of either coming back are slim, and still zelda marches up to her home and she raises her hand.
it is zelda’s seventeenth birthday for a century. time is nothing in her eternal locked battle with ganon, just barely enough to keep him tethered to the castle. even still, he can reach out - the blood moons keep the hordes of monsters alive, keep the guardians and the divine beasts possessed, keep naydra (her dragon) poisoned.
what must it have been like, that century of seventeenth birthdays? zelda’s own magic keeping them locked in the cycle (though haven’t they been locked in this cycle throughout all their lives), eternally fighting? do you think she ever faltered in her faith in link? a hundred years is a long time to hope a dead man will wake up.
and even then. even knowing link woke up, then, able to stretch just far enough to see him, unable to help beyond a watchful eye... link doesn’t remember her. at all. eventually, flashes, seconds of recollections, but he never remembers fully. and it takes time to reach her, to gather his strength again. longer still that zelda has to wait, eternally just barely seventeen years old, watching the boy who was once her best friend age by the day, gather new scars, remember the feel of a weapon in his hands, rescue the spirits of her dead friends.
link was always a better hero.
god. and then he comes to save her, and in a century, all she could do was hold him back. link draws his sword, charges, and ganon is defeated so soon after. oh, she can give him a weapon, can pick up the remains of ganon and seal it away, but link does in the course of a few hours what zelda would never have been able to.
and then what? then it’s over? not really. the sun is setting on her seventeenth birthday, and zelda is over a century old, and her once best friend turned feral wild warrior is looking up at her, and zelda has to decide how to rebuild a kingdom. what to do next.
im just saying. the poor girl had probably the worst birthday ever.
