#SUNNY CHARGING IN THE SUN 🌞

[thelostchaoswitch]

June is upon us, bringing the warmth of the sun and the lushness of summer! As the days grow longer, there’s a magical energy in the air that’s perfect for our witchy practices. Here are some enchanting things to do this month, including a few you might not have thought of! 🌞🔮

1. Celebrate Litha (Summer Solstice): On June 21st, the Summer Solstice is the longest day of the year. It’s a powerful time for manifestation and gratitude. Decorate your altar with sun symbols, fresh flowers, and candles. Consider a sunrise or sunset ritual to honor the sun’s peak.

2. Herb Harvesting: Many herbs are at their peak potency in June. Gather rosemary, thyme, lavender, and sage. Dry them for use in spells, teas, and incense. Remember to thank the plants and leave offerings in return for their bounty.

3. Midsummer Night’s Dream: Inspired by Shakespeare, embrace the fae energy that’s strong during this time. Create a faery garden or leave offerings of milk, honey, and shiny trinkets in your garden to invite the fae into your life. ***Be cautious and be aware of who you are working with. Make sure you study before you call forth anything***

4. Solar Water: Create solar water by leaving a jar of water in the sunlight for several hours. This water can be used for cleansing, charging crystals, or in sun spells to bring energy and vitality into your life.

5. Nature Walks: Take long walks in nature to ground yourself and connect with the Earth. Collect natural items like feathers, stones, and leaves for your altar. Pay attention to animal sightings, as they might bring messages from the spirit world.

6. Fruit Magick: June brings a bounty of fruits like strawberries, cherries, and apricots. Use them in kitchen witchery—bake a pie with intention, make a fruit salad charged with positive energy, or create fruit offerings for deities or spirits.

7. Seashell Spells: If you live near the coast or have access to seashells, use them in your magick. Seashells represent water and can be used in love spells, for emotional healing, or to enhance intuition.

8. Firefly Meditations: If you’re lucky enough to have fireflies in your area, watch them in the evening. Use their gentle light to guide your meditation, symbolizing illumination, hope, and the beauty of small things.

9. Sun Gazing: In the early morning or late evening when the sun is not too strong, practice sun gazing. This can be a form of meditation and can help you absorb the sun’s energy directly.

10. Journaling with Intention: Reflect on the first half of the year and set intentions for the months ahead. June is a midpoint, a perfect time to reassess and realign your goals and dreams.

11. DIY Sun Catchers: Craft sun catchers with crystals, beads, and other shiny objects. Hang them in your windows to catch the sunlight and fill your space with rainbows and positive energy.

12. Create a Summer Spell Jar: Fill a jar with items that represent summer to you—sunflowers, sand, seashells, and herbs. Seal it with a yellow candle and use it to attract summer energy into your home.

13. Moonlit Bath: On a warm night, take a moonlit bath with flowers, essential oils, and sea salt. This can cleanse your aura and connect you with the moon’s feminine energy.

14. Dance Under the Stars: Gather friends or enjoy a solo dance session under the starry sky. Let the rhythm connect you with the universe and raise your vibrations.

15. Make Sun Tea: Place tea bags in a jar of water and let it steep in the sunlight. As it brews, infuse it with your intentions and drink it to absorb the sun’s energy.

Let’s embrace the magic of June and make the most of these sunny, enchanted days! What are your favorite witchy things to do in June? Share in the comments! 🌞🌸🔮

Stay strong, stay well, stay safe. 💕

Given that you’re a Sonikal shipper, I have to ask: What do you think Sonic and Tikal’s first kiss was like?

Thanks for this great question, Anon! C: Sorry it took a while for me to answer your question, me was sick with Covid and it was tricky for me to dwell on Sonikal scenarios with a clogged up nose and throat. 🤧

Well, applying this question to the Sonic X world and characterizations, I imagine Sonic and Tikal's first kiss would take place on their first date that takes place sometime before the Metarex arc. For their first date, I imagine they'll hang out at their favorite sunflower field somewhere in Green Hill along with chaperone Chaos while Tails, Amy and Knuckles are busy doing their own thing. (Maybe learning to kick some Eggbutt without relying on their convenient Sonikku-senpai hero to come swoop in and save the day for them every time they face danger) I think that'll be a fitting first date for them considering…

X!Sonic LOVES flowers. All the Sonics from any adaptation loves nature, but X!Sonic in particular has a fixation on flowers. Has time for himself to relax? Smell a flower. Has a sad friend to cheer up? Give them flowers. (EX: Cream in EP7, Helen in EP14 and Amy in EP52.)

Tikal is like a sunflower, (A prominent flower all over the most iconic zone in the franchise ofc) She has a friendly and sunny personality, but gets discouraged and gloomy easily, (Like how she basically wilts when flooded by a storm called Perfect Chaos nonstop without the warmth of the sun) She therefore looks for the sun as the sunlight makes her grow stronger and faster. (How often has Sonic been compared to the sun and light if he's not being compared to wind?) Tikal overall is a warm and sunny person who gravitates towards other warm and sunny people. 🌞 🌻

So during their first date at the sunflower field next to the beach, Tikal hangs out at the field in her white sundress, beige sun hat and brown brim while Sonic chills underneath a palm tree as usual while ocean waves gently hits his blue fur. Having water touch him made him a bit nervous at first, but then he relaxes when he realizes the waves are shallow and not roughly dragging him into the ocean. They both get a bit of time for themselves to think about the relationship. Tikal loves Sonic because she admires everything that he is. His strong will, his love for life, and just how utterly nice he is (a HUGE contrast to her father and his men). He helps her to be someone better. But the relationship isn’t completely one-sided. Aside from her powers from the ME, Tikal can be very firm with Sonic when the need arises. When Sonic wants to go charging into a fight even he can’t take care of alone, she loses that shyness that tends to hold her back and is serious with him. She knows what he’s capable of and mostly leaves him alone when he wants to go barreling recklessly into a fight, but if he’s over his head, she’ll do her best to convince him to allow help.

Meanwhile Sonic loves Tikal simply because not only for his empathy for what she's been through in her life, but because she's not too much different than him beyond her gentle pacifistic persona. Both have a love for their natural world, both have a strong sense of justice and are especially protective of the smallest and the most vulnerable, both crave friendships and adventures, but also tend to thrive better off from alone time for themselves, both feel pain when they fail to save someone even if they express it differently and not only are they saviors to Chaos, but also in a sense saviors to each other. Sonic also thinks of Tikal when he thinks about water. He knows how connected she feels with water considering her friend choices, but seeing sparkling ocean waves radiates peacefulness, softness, calmness and serenity, (Heck it surprisingly feels great on his fur) Ironic, considering water also happens to be one of his weaknesses, but he bravely overcomes it for Tikal's and Chaos’ sake. Tikal then comes up to him with some picked sunflowers and confesses to him how much he means to her, that he's the sun to her gloomy rainstorm, he's the sunlight to her sunflower. She makes him wear a cute sunflower as she does so, which flatters him. 😳

At first, Sonic wasn't sure how to feel about Tikal after the events of Adventure 1/Half of season 2 of X in a romantic sense. Sonic’s experience in love mostly comes from Amy or general fangirls, so meeting Tikal doesn’t register as meaning anything to him at first. But once he spends more time with her, the pieces fall into place and he can smile about it because she’s different, and he likes different. It takes time for her to confess, as she needs to build her confidence and develop, but once she does, they’re able to have a very happy romantic connection. So following her confession, Tikal plants her first kiss on his right cheek. Saying Sonic didn't quite expect it is an understatement. Sonic isn't experienced with giving kisses as physical intimacy isn't usually his love language he cultivated in his life, but he felt like it was reasonable to give her his first kiss in return to show her he might feel the same for her. He was very hesitant to proceed, but when he finally plants his first kiss on her left cheek near her nose, more awkward cuteness occurs. They found each other shyly staring at each other before pulling their faces closer to each other until they planted their first kiss on their lips before sitting together to watch the sunset reflection on the ocean as Chaos watches them through his glowing green eyes underneath the ocean giving a secret thumbs up to the relationship upgrade under the water. Getting physically more intimate with each other was awkward, (Especially for Sonic), but Chaos it was worth it.

Totally didn't rip this sunflower field idea from @moonplata's sunflower comic. Not at all…. 😈

Solar Carports & Canopies: The Future of Sustainable Shade is Here! 🌞🚗

Hey Tumblr fam! I'm super excited to share this amazing discovery with you all. I just stumbled upon a game - changing resource that's all about solar carports and canopies, and it's seriously blowing my mind.

Check out this link: Solar Carports & Canopies: The Ultimate Guide. It's an in - depth guide by Adhaiwell, a top - notch Chinese manufacturer in the solar game. This article is a goldmine of information for anyone interested in sustainable living, renewable energy, or just sprucing up their outdoor spaces.

Solar carports and canopies are not your average shelters. They're like little power - generating oases. With photovoltaic panels, they soak up the sun's rays and turn them into electricity. Picture this: you park your car under a solar carport on a sunny day. Not only is your vehicle protected from the sweltering heat and harmful UV rays, but at the same time, that carport is busy creating clean energy. It can charge your electric car, power your home appliances, or even send extra electricity back to the grid for some extra cash. How cool is that?

The benefits are endless. Environmentally, they're a dream come true. By using renewable energy, we're slashing our carbon footprint and taking a big step towards a greener planet. Economically, they're a smart investment. Lower energy bills? Yes, please! And don't forget about those sweet government incentives and tax credits for going solar.

Design - wise, they're super versatile. Whether you want to add one to your suburban driveway, create a shaded waiting area at a local business, or transform an industrial parking lot, there's a solar carport or canopy design for you. They come in different structural forms like single - column unidirectional for tight spaces or dual - column bidirectional for maximum sun capture. And they look sleek and modern, adding a touch of cool to any location.

The article also dives into real - world success stories. There are universities powering classrooms with solar - generated electricity from their parking lot canopies and homeowners adding value to their properties while enjoying free - flowing clean energy. It even answers all those niggling questions you might have, like how much they cost and how long they last.

So, if you're as passionate about sustainability as I am, or if you're just looking for a unique way to upgrade your space, give this guide a read. Let's start a conversation about how we can all do our part to make the world a better, more sustainable place. Share your thoughts, ideas, and any solar - related experiences in the comments below!

Let's Shine Bright: The Future of Solar Energy

Hey there, sunshine! 🌞 If you're curious about what's up in the world of renewable energy, you've come to the right place. Today, we're talking all about solar power and why it's set to take the world by storm.

Soaking Up the Sun

Guess what? Solar energy is totally having a moment right now. Countries everywhere are jumping on the solar bandwagon, setting some seriously ambitious goals for using solar power. And can you blame them? With the cost of solar tech dropping faster than a hot potato and everyone starting to see the environmental perks, it's no wonder more folks are turning to the sun for their power needs.

Let's Get Innovative

Hold onto your hats, because the solar industry is buzzing with excitement! We're talking cutting-edge tech like nanomaterials making solar cells super-efficient, and even see-through solar panels that blend right into your windows. It's like something straight out of a sci-fi movie, but it's happening right now, folks!

Riding the Solar Wave

And hey, who says solar power is just for rooftops? Not us! The future of transportation is looking pretty sunny, with solar-powered cars zipping around and solar panels popping up on electric vehicle charging stations. It's like the sun's giving us a high-five every time we hit the road.

Storing Up Sunshine

Now, we know what you're thinking: what about when the sun isn't shining? Don't worry, we've got that covered too. Thanks to some seriously cool tech like solar thermal storage and fancy-schmancy batteries, we can store up all that extra sunshine for a rainy day. Talk about a bright idea!

Conclusion

As more people turn to renewable energy, the main aim is to rely less on fossil fuels and have lots of affordable green energy. Solid Solar, a company started in 2011 in New Delhi, is leading this change. They focus on making solar power plants and have finished over 500 big and small ones. This helps a lot in making sustainable energy more common.

Dulles Airport Wrapped in Solar Panels! 37K Homes Powered 🛩️🔆

Solar Shenanigans: A Sunny Side Up Airport Adventure! Travelers, gather 'round, because we've got a story that's shining brighter than a supernova disco ball at Dulles International Airport! Prepare yourselves for an epic tale of solar panels, energy wars, and a visual spectacle that's out of this world! Picture this: you're soaring through the sky, ready to touch down at Dulles International Airport, the crème de la crème of aviation gateways near the nation's capital. And what do your curious eyes behold? Not a runway paved with gold, but a dazzling array of 200,000 solar panels sprawled out like a pixelated technicolor quilt, right next to the runways. That's right, folks, we're talking about the largest renewable energy spectacle you've ever seen at an American airport! If aliens were landing, they'd probably be thinking, "Are these the new-age welcome mats?" 🛫🌞🌍🛬 Now, hold onto your seatbelts because this is where the plot thickens. Dominion Energy and the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority literally took a shovel and broke the ground for this 835-acre extravaganza! It's like they're building the Disneyland of solar energy, complete with roller coasters powered by sunlight. 🎢 But wait, there's more! This solar wonderland is just a teeny-tiny part of Dominion's grand plan. They've got this ambitious goal of adding a whopping 16,000 megawatts of solar capacity. That's enough power to run four million homes! Imagine telling your toaster, "Hey, buddy, you're running on sunshine today!" 🌞🏠 #SmallProblemBigSun Ah, but here's the comedy twist: rural counties in Virginia are shaking their pitchforks at the thought of all these solar shenanigans. They're worried about their farmland turning into a solar disco, their viewsheds being photobombed by solar panels, and the sweet sound of construction noise ruining their country tranquility. It's like they're auditioning for a sitcom called "Solar Wars: The Battle of the Counties." Bev McKay, a Clarke County supervisor, threw down the gauntlet, saying it's just not fair that rural areas are shouldering the solar farm burden. She's got a point—why should the countryside be the only one giving up their fields for this solar party? Urban areas need to step up and start hosting some solar soirées too! 🌾🌄 #The Shocking Costs of Sunshine But here's where things get truly uproarious. Dominion and the State Corporation Commission have predicted a whopping 72% hike in electricity costs between now and 2035.

Solar panel installers: the new solar celebrities! 😎💼 #Sunrise, Sunset, and Solar Smiles Dominion Energy is on a roll, claiming they've already added a whopping 2,000 megawatts of solar power to their repertoire. And they've got a juicy 7,000 more megawatts in the works, including the Dulles spectacle. They're like the Oprah of solar energy, "You get a megawatt, and you get a megawatt, everybody gets a megawatt!"

Someone asked for some info on the punk boys, so here's a small list!

Moon:

- a little bit of an attention hog. He's the lead guitarist & singer so he tends to be in the center of their performances.

- he's a flirt! He loves to fluster his fans and gets a kick out of getting them all fluttery and red-faced. The second he gets it back though he tends to fall apart lol

- he sleeps. so much. he tends to work himself a little too hard when it comes to practicing his music, and he stays up much later than sun, so he runs out of battery very often. Sun always badgers him about getting enough charge-time in before they perform.

- he's got multiple guitars. Sun is constantly getting on him about how he only really needs ONE GUITAR, and always complains when Moon gets another one to add to his collection.

Sun:

- hes got one pair of drumsticks that he's constantly customizing. Adding stickers, etching onto their surfaces, painting them different colors. They've seen a lot of wear & tear but he wouldn't have it any other way.

- as loud as he is on stage, he is in person. He's got a bubbly personality to go with it, and his voice tends to carry farther than Moon's without a microphone. He can't sing for shit tho, lmao

- He tried to cut his shirt himself with safety scissors and it went horribly wrong/right.

- Him and Moon tend to have this playful back & forth about who the fans love more, and they love to tease and take jabs at eachother about it. It's all in good fun tho.

- He LOVES stickers. One of his favorite things to do is add them to the autographs of his fans. He also likes to stick the goofiest ones he can find on Moon's guitars to bug him.

- although he denies it, he is somewhat jealous of all the extra attention that moon gets. Sun does attend a lot more fan meet&greets than Moon though.

- Sun is such a prankster. Moon has learned how to avoid them over the years, but lord help the stage hands who aren't aware of his tricks.

- He likes to collect pins and decorates his suspenders with them :) Moon loves to tease him about having so many pins, and yet throws a hissy fit when Moon gets another guitar.

🌙: "You only need ONE pin, Sunny~"

🌞: (offended) "IT'S NOT THE SAME!!"

And as far as where they're from? I guess it could be interpreted however it's needed to fit the story. I never really considered what kind of "world" they would come from when I first drew them.

If they did come from Fazbear Entertainment, they, and the Glamrocks, would be modeled to fit an older audience. Aimed more at young adults rather than children, so they take on a more mature theme.

It's all to the creator's preference though, lol.
