My mom eagerly came home today from the store with what she referred to as "flowers for Zeus". She harbors so much excitement when she comes home with stuff like this for me, and I'm not joking when I say her undying. support will be the cause of my happy tears one of these days. I'm so pleased with my altars!

my altar to lady iris. it's small, but i wanted to have something for her. the rock, candle, and libation dish are quite obvious, and then i added the rainbow tape at the back (which im currently using in my devotional journal to her), a ring i wear in honor of her that i plan on having her bless, and a heifer to symbolize her mistress.

eirene (bless)!

ok so i think that my favourite fantasy subgenre is The Inherent Tragedy Of Being Born Into Royalty. which mostly means that i like to read about gay princes but with some nuance

rook falling asleep on the red couch in the lighthouse dining room while lucanis is making dinner....... they were helping out by keeping him company and peeling and chopping potatoes for a while there but then the potatoes are done and the room is so safe and warm and smells like coffee and good food and lucanis is trying to explain something to spite and his voice is low and soft and good to listen to and rook's eyes only slip closed for a moment. they'll get up to save the world again or whatever in a second just. one moment. while the world is warm and kind. and then they're being shaken gently awake an hour later because it's time to eat and everyone's starting to drift hopefully dinner-wards

Poured my first ever libations today! Untraditional at best, but I'm sharing my Monster Energy Papillon with Father Zeus and Lord Poseidon. The flavor is a mix of peach and nectarine, so I thought it was incredibly fitting! I don't think I've ever felt so giddy while preforming an act before.

Altar to Lord Lucifer

I’m excited to share that I have finally been able to make a physical altar to Lord Lucifer! Now, this is just the start, as I’m only using items that my family already own and what I found with one trip to Goodwill, so I expect it to grow/change in the future. Though I’m already pretty satisfied with how it looks.

A bunch of the pieces are special to me and have symbolic meanings, so feel free to ask questions. There’s pieces that I made, like the candle box and dried lavender I picked. There’s phoenix and dragon figurines that I played with as a kid. When I went to Goodwill for altar pieces, I was happy to find this angelic figurine with golden hair holding a violin with roses on it. I see Lord Lucifer with similar hair and associate violins and roses with him, so I thought it was a cool piece.

Though the altar is in my closet, it is already really special to me. Here’s a bonus pic of it in daylight:

Thinking about Black Widow Luo Binghe.

Hear me out -- so just like in canon, Shen Qingqiu self-destructs to save Luo Binghe, dies, and Luo Binghe steals his body to put on ice while he looks for methods to resurrect him. But unlike in canon, staving off decomposition is simply not that doable for a matter of years, even with cultivation and Luo Binghe pouring qi into the process. The qi costs are still high, so is Xin Mo, and now Binghe also needs a special artifact that can actually preserve Shen Qingqiu, but that runs on blood sacrifices.

To get the thing working, Luo Binghe feeds it a bunch of prisoners from the Water Prison. Then he starts kidnapping cultivators to drain for his own qi reserves, but that's difficult, controversial, and he can't use the same victims for the blood sacrifice afterwards. Frankly, between one thing and another it would be easier to satisfy Xin Mo with dual cultivation, and focus on finding victims for Shizun's Snow White style glass preservation coffin without having to choose between using targets for one or the other. Especially given that, if he finesses it, Luo Binghe can extend the use of his sacrifices and get more out of them with fewer deaths that way.

He's pretty sure that Shizun would want fewer deaths.

Of course, he is not a fan of the logistics of the plan itself, but he'd do worse things to one day be reunited. He consoles himself that he's building up bedroom experience for one day being with Shen Qingqiu, and that it doesn't really count because his heart's not really in it, and also if Shizun got to spend all that time in brothels then it's only fitting that Luo Binghe be his equal in this as well. It still doesn't make it pleasant for him, but it makes him able to tolerate the necessity of it.

So Luo Binghe ends up marrying a string of rich and powerful figures -- mostly the villainous single fathers and mothers and evil uncles of harem members from PIDW, rather than their daughters -- and coming up with creative ways of making all their deaths a few months into the process look like accidents. After the third one people are undeniably wary of marrying him, but there's always someone with a big enough ego to think they'll be an exception, or stupid enough to believe that it really has just been so much bad luck up to that point. It helps that the universe is predisposed to let him hit it.

When SY wakes up in the shroom body and hears about Luo Binghe's succession of marriages, he's not surprised. What he is surprised by is the bisexual graveyard of toxic dilfs and milfs that has replaced the harem.

What did he do to cause that?!

And what does Luo Binghe mean that he wants to marry his own shizun now? Is this his new method of revenge??? Binghe, you don't have to marry someone to kill them!
