Ouroboros

, emblematic serpent of ancient Egypt and Greece represented with its tail in its mouth, continually devouring itself and being reborn from itself. A gnostic and alchemical symbol, Ouroboros expresses the unity of all things, material and spiritual, which never disappear but perpetually change form in an eternal cycle of destruction and re-creation.

I second this to whomever is doing this. This eeriely similar to a situation a friend was/is dealing with as well.

If these are the same people by pure happenstance....they're sadder than I thought. If that's upsetting to see from someone, welp go ahead. No one will see your nonsense on my stuff. My blog's half dead anyway most of the time, and is tiny follower wise. Not that I don't appreciate everyone following me of course. Just know the numbers be low. Not to mention, a witch like me has far more important things to worry about beyond folks online who are apparently so miserable that any deviation from what they like in the characters they're obsessed with, that they schizocomment everywhere they can on the person they don't like socials. Seriously, I hope you guys have some kind of therapist, I'm genuinely worried for you, if you can believe it.

That said, a witch protects their own when possible. And I'm growing real tired of whatever game is being played here. Even as entertaining as they make themselves look. To everyone in this fandom, listen up. Unless you're causing harm or making incest fics with the Horsemen, you'll more than likely be accepted here. Just behave yourself and be better than those who seek to cause problems or damage to others. That's all we could ever ask for, human decency. Something clearly peeps have forgotten about as of late. I'll end this little rant asking the others in the fandom to watch out for people like this. Some people truly are dedicated to spreading their misery around, even if they don't realize it. Be careful everyone, and watch yourselves. Also watch out for fellow blogs if you can, we shouldn't tolerate this behavior if it gets past a certain point.

To the commenters themselves, one last bit of advice for you, I too was once ignorant to the misery I would spread through my hair trigger temper, and now I live with a regret bigger than anything else. One I won't get into here, as I'd rather not give THAT kind of ammo to the wrong people. I speak only as someone who used to be just like this or similar. Such behavior I try to apologize for or flat out refuse to allow if I can manage it. I suggest to those commenters that you do the same. Self reflect, find some kind of help cus even if you don't think you need it, you do. I should know, not having money for true therapy is no excuse. Just talk to somebody you trust enough, you'll find your answers I pray. I know I found my answers in due time, my only regrets now, are that I hadn't found them sooner. Stop seeking to hurt others because you feel hurt or upset. It will only feed the ouroboros that is the current cycle you're on now. And there's no sense in eating your own tail everytime you know. I know I got tired of these feelings controlling me and eating me alive.

So there are some assholes who keep leaving annoying ass comments on my fanfics, so I'm going to say this:

Stop leaving comments on my fanfics.

Go away. We aren't friends, and if you don't like my work, why are you reading it? Go be miserable elsewhere.

Fuck off.

I have a project to present to you,

dear creatures. One close to my heart that -should it come to fruition- will require your participation. A couple years ago I made a design, The cycle breaking Ouroboros. My skills have grown since then and I try to do a redraw of said design every year.

I’ve seen a few people get this design tattooed on them, I’ve sold a lot of tattoo passes of this particular design but sadly; I have yet to actually tattoo this design on anyone myself.

I aim to fix that this year; but I want to be specific. I really want to do a series of tattoos with variants of this design—featuring different types of snakes on different people. People who have all broken cycles in some manner. If the participants are open to it, maybe we could record the session and talk a little about life. If they rather be private, then we can just record the tattoo process itself.

For these tattoos I’d like to ask for below my minimum, so I can get supplies - $60

and to ensure the participants are serious and will commit to a session.

I’m located in the mountains of Southern California and if this is a project you’d like to be involved in please message me and let’s set something up. This is an idea close to my heart and it will be handled with sensitivity and earnestness. Ultimately this is art I wish to create that requires the collaboration of very special canvases and I hope perhaps I can find them.

Cheers to the cycle breakers.

Ever think about how tragic it is to be in The Universe's place as a being that loves all of creation but can never express that in a way that the subjects of their affection can understand so they created a middle line of it. To grant any and all wishes just to show that they are there, they are listening, and they are giving you the means to grasp what you desire.

But it's never enough because to a higher being such as The Universe, with no bias on What wish to grant or a bias on What is right or wrong, they grant wishes indiscriminately. Because they love everyone, so they grant everyone's wishes, all the while bending it so as to prevent needless damage, because they love you.

But their love is also what hurts you, like how Loop had to give up in the end cuz of how hopeless it all seemed so Loop had to make another wish. And how Siffrin continued to suffer during the timeloops, and especially how much it hurts Loop, to see someone else achieve what they've always wanted to have. To Loop, they're The Universe's favourite cosmic joke but to The Universe, they love them.

They granted Loop's wish, and then granted another, they continuously grant Siffrin's wish. They love them, but they don't know how much it hurts all the same because they can't understand the way all of creation expresses love. Because their own language is incomprehensible to anyone else but them. Ever think about how lonely it must be to be a higher being with a language only they can understand.

Whumptober Day 3 - Set Up For Failure

We reread the first Percy Jackson book for this. Some parts of it have aged spectacularly poorly, unfortunately. Thankfully, we can chuck a whole bunch of Cool Fun Mythology That Definitely Means Nothing At This. The changes list

Main references for this illustration are this terracotta lid from the MET, this vase fragment also from the MET, and the style of porcelain art we can only describe as "stereotypical american white-and-blue porcelain".

Also, since we forgot to list it on our first post: the anatomy of one of these prompt pages. The top half (approximately) of the page is day, prompt name, word count, and an illustration that relates to the work (sometimes very abstractly). The bottom segments are, in order:
