Jing Yuan the... Lion

✧ jing yuan x gn!reader

✧ based on the ask: how would the characters react when jing yuan somehow magically transforms into a lion (like mimi) for a day? x reader is ok!! - requested by @/ephemeralyae

✧ contents: humor, established relationship, fluff, mentions of other characters

✧ a/n: i've noticed a certain pattern with my writing sideblogs, and that is the fact that i'll always get this sort of request HAHA. And in line with similar patterns, this will be the first post written in a headcanon format! i went the x reader route with just a hint on how characters would react (not that big of a reaction, moreso what they have to do in this situation) so i hope it was okay!

not beta-read again lmfao.

✧ He is as confused as everyone else with this situation. One moment he's sitting idly by his office, writing on his desk and the next moment he's left staring dumbfoundedly at a gigantic paw quite similar to the paws he squishes quite frequently back at home.

✧ Is the quick rundown you're given when you arrive at the Seat of Divine Foresight along with Fu Xuan and Yukong - having been frequently spammed with incoherent messages from Qingzu in the span of a few minutes.

✧ And although this very much is a serious situation - nevermind the mystery that the Divine Foresight is always absent from his usual seat, if he actually stays in this lion form for more than a day everything onboard the luofu will be behind schedule and he will for real be absent from the Seat of Divine Foresight because he's going to be taken in by the alchemy comission to figure out how to turn him back.

✧ And yet, as everyone is scrambling around trying to figure out a solution to turn him back and a reason to why he specifically was turned only - you're just left staring straight back at the lion with soft white hair and golden eyes who seem all to relaxed when staring back at you.

✧ Heck the tail is even comfortably swaying back and forth - even though he's well aware of the chaos he's caused.

✧ "... You know everyone in this room is in a disarray because of you, right?" a small roar that oddly sounded like his usual laugh, "... Yukong have to be able to discreetly send a message to the other flagships without even alerting anyone else in the Palace of Astrum, you are aware of that, correct?" you swear you saw the lion nodding his head.

✧ "... Master diviner Fu Xuan is going to have a lot more on her plate with this added problem, you agree to that right?" you ask once more, the lion only gave you a closed eyed smile.

✧ "Yanqing will be disappointed when you're not going to spar with him today, you've already avoided it for the past 2 weeks and you promised him today," the lion merely turns his head around, promptly ignoring you with a side glance of mischief.

✧ How can he be a scoundrel even when turned into a lion.

✧ "... Mimi would probably attack you the moment she spots you," you settle on saying. And somehow that information alone was enough for the once relaxed state of the lion to be in distress. Jing Yuan's once laid down form springing back into all fours - the sudden action making Qingzu who were still sorting out documents yelp.

✧ "... You know you could've tried saying you would leave him to see if he would react," Fu Xuan comments as the lion before the two of you makes his way over, "I think he would die on the spot if I said that, now how do we get him to-" you're unable to finish your answer back to the master diviner when you're suddenly pounced on by Jing Yuan.

✧ And as anyone would've expected, the much heavier weight makes you topple down to the floor with a loud bang.

✧ "... Did he already gain some feline traits?"

✧ You're unable to answer the question, desperately slamming your fist down on the lions mane before you're able to wriggle your head away from the amount of fur in your face, "Jing Yuan-" you wheeze, "I'm barely able to carry you while you're human, what made you think I can carry you when you weigh close to 200 kilograms?!"

✧ The lion seemed to not care, merely nuzzling his nose against your hair while making no move to actually get off of you.

✧ "... You know what, let's just call the healers down here and leave him here for the day. I have other business to attend to and Yanqing is already blowing up my phone asking where this idiot is," you say, tapping the lion on top of you on the nose before letting your hands tousle the mane, blinking in surprise at how oddly soft it was.

✧ "... On second thought I'll stay here until the healers come," you rephrase, continuing to run your hands through the mane, Jing Yuan seeming to purr in content at the excessive rubbing.

✧ So this is why Mimi is so content whenever you would excessively rub her everywhere.

og request here!

🌬 Wind - What was the easiest part of your WIP to write?

🌪 Tornado - Who is your most impulsive character and why?

🔥 Wildfire - Who is your most emotional character and why?

🌌 Clear Skies - How long have you been writing your current WIP?

☁️ Cloudy - What inspired you to start writing your WIP? (or in general)

🌙 Eclipse - What's the most common / reoccurring theme of your WIP(s)?

💧Rain: Probably either the Killing Desdemona scene or Cannibalism scene in The Horrific Comb or the goodbye scene in this one for a prompt , which is basically the fluffier future. I'm leaning towards it being in The Horrific Comb though.

❄️ Snow: I don't really remember, many of my characters tend to be very emotional. Maybe Desdemona, but I think she's pretty expressive.

🌨 Sleet: 3.5k to 4k as of now approx.

☀️ Sun: Still writing, didn't plan ahead much.

🌫 Fog: Taking down the whole thing on paper

🌬 Wind: I'm taking this for a finished work and I think it's the cannibalism scene in The Horrific Comb(not much in detail though).

🌪 Tornado: I like to think of it as Astrum since I kinda really based ver off of me(The Horrific Comb and the other prompt one). Could be Indus though (they're from the other prompt one .

🔥 Wildfire: I think them all, but answer can be taken as the answer from tornado).

🌌 Clear Skies : Procrastinating for weeks.

☁️ Cloudy: Prompts, usually.

⚡️Lightning: I guess the cannibalism scene from The Horrific Comb can be counted as so.I got the idea after listening to "aishiteitanoni" by MARETU, eng subs and scrolling through the comments. Originally, it wasn't going to be there though.

🪹 Drought: Procrastinate.

💦 Flood: Two or three ig.

🏝 Hurricane: Usually forcing myself to stick.

🌊 Tsunami : When I'm feeling emotional, at home and depends, I can write either on phone or paper.

🌋 Volcanic Eruption: Probably my inconsistency and procrastination.

🌈 Rainbow: Idk

🌙 Eclipse: Currently the recurring themes are death of some kind, violence and kind of horror.

Thanks for the interview~

(Descriptions in alt-texts)

Generally, painting terrain isn't interesting, just tedious. Case in point, I didn't even bother taking pictures of the wattle fencing I just painted because no one cares. It looks fine from 3 feet, and that's all that matters. So this was an attempt to making this terrain interesting: I printed out a punch of tiny posters and glued them on, and added pop colors to a few of them.

And then I kind of painted the RWBY mural from RWBY Beyond. Special thanks to @sedlex for their work in getting a reasonably straight-angle of the mural.

Extremely long list of poster sources after the cut.

Round hut:

The Cube is a Lie! by Raven Cruz (vanished off the internet)

Perfect Food Egg from Ryoko Kui's Delicious In Dungeon.

Brouha on Mustafar & Hooha on the Death Star from NRobinson77.

Obama-style Luke and Dalek are most likely the result of one of poster-creators back in the day, because I can't find any trace of them.

Concern Necron from RuoYuArt.

Do Not Feed Metroids from Shinaz (who was not the original creator either, but we're already back in '05).

Square hut:

Dalek 'To Victory': Doctor Who official art, apparently.

Soldiers of the Imperium, Kill Team, and Makari's Wanted: Dead posters are all Warhammer 40K official artwork from the Regimental Standard.

Primaris Akira from Sgt-lonely

Hey, have you tried cheese? is so popular I literally had it as a tea towel.

Enlist Today (with Darth Vader, not that you can see that) by Cliff Chiang.

Actually yeah, maybe today Satan is a Nancy comic. Mercy only knows if it's a real comic or fanart, because I can't find it.

Commissar 'Do It For Him' is AdeptusRidiculous.

'Strawberry' B1-battle droid is cnv99.

Death Star Gunner pin-up is Adam Warren.

Asami eyeing Korra's rack is IAHFY (who is amazing).

Annoyingly placed 'Game Over' Cinder Fall is MrOrbs.

'I apologize for nothing' Hedonism-Bot was from etsy Woodcut Emporium (now gone).

France-Destroyer 9000 is from Borghest.

Quark's Root Beer is from Maggie Muldoon (it's insidious!).

Cantina:

The tiny dwarf is from the Dwarf Fortress community.

'We Do Bones Motherfucker' is from lunglessart.

Korra Vs Tahno is from Janet Sung.

Korra 'Change' and Sororitas 'Hate' are likely more poster-creator products.

The Mechanicus poster underneath the Korra poster and 'Join the Astrum Militarum Today!' are from WarCom's Regimental Standard.

Mordred's 'Welcome Back... Assface!' is from Tamamita.

Kuat Drive Yards is official art from Star Wars Insider 86.

No Shields, All Guts from gattadonna.

'We are short-staffed... this place is not a place of honor' was a photo from (presumably) a store window.

Aight hello again

Yharim would, on a technicality, not considered the SCP-verse deities gods. Pretty sure you said this already, but because they don't contain dragonic souls, they didn't 'ascend' in the specific way he seems to define divinity as, so he probably wouldn't give a fuck about any of them.

Would he acknowledge that they are beings with more power and a better knowledge of how to bend (and break) reality to their whoms? Yes.

Would he be willing to admit, out loud or to himself, that he can very easily see people worshiping them for any number of reasons? Absolutely, and because of that specifically, even if he doesn't expressly want to eradicate them, he certainly wouldn't want them or their cultists anywhere in his world.

The only ones I can easily see him being fine with are a) Death, which is hilarious in its own uniquely twisted way, and b) Pangloss, because he seems to go out of his way to avoid being worshipped sometimes.

Pan didn't demand worship from those he created. He created races because he was curious, because he wanted to share the beauty of the world and everything in it with others. He wanted mortals as a whole to survive and thrive, not just the ones he created.

I don't think he'd know what to make of Pangloss. I don't think Yharon would, either.

Guide would be insatiably curious. I do think I've said that; Pan is a literal living star who you can have a conversation with, and even in the world of Calamity, that is a sublime concept. Pan might like him too, and they'd probably swap stories and tales between themselves.

Ire might try to fight him at first but he'd probably either avoid her entirely or, with the control he has over his tangibility, just let her weapon run through him until she's convinced she can't hurt him/he can't hurt her.

She'd be fucking fascinated by him. But I don't think she'd say that to anyone other than Yharim, and only with a million questions; if he created the auric souls, does that mean he has one too? What is he made out of and why is it impossible to hit? How old is he? He talks about other worlds- are there other dragons there too?

Yharim would probably gently but firmly ask her to stop, because she's just adding more questions to the already unending amount he has, and it's giving him a migraine.

I think Jharim would do the stupid thing of touching the star-born god first. And I think they'd all have a collective moment of panic followed by bewilderment, because he's not burning? The flames are licking his skin but it actually feels quite nice?? What is this witchcraft? Meanwhile Pangloss is worried because it looks and felt like the Jester just collapsed onto him all of a sudden

-🍁

I think he understands there are deities beyond his definition, because he does refer to Astrum Deus as a God, yet makes it clear that he is not the same as deities he hunts down + recognizes that Golem is seen as a god for lizardfolk while simultaneously noting that it is not even close to being an artificial one, at least not yet.

I don't think he hunt down Deus or Golem anyway, obviously for the same reason he doesn't initially see beyond entities as a part of his goal. What he can perceive then is as a threat, because he recognized that whatever entity is controlling Devourer's loyalty, it could be compared to entities like SK. And he saw that Distortion as a threat (even if blatantly ignored it, which he of course sees as a mistake on his part, but accepts that he called for DoG's help only because he was desperate to stop this war)

In other words, he really wouldn't want them to be near his empire any time soon. Yeah, probably Pan and Brothers Death are the only exception to the rule, either because they're a natural force and a fucking reminder of what he's done, or because they genuinely mean no harm.

I like how Ire's first reaction is to fight, like, ok I guess she can try to fight Brothers, they are literally obviously a threat. But Pan? Girl, please 😭. The only thing that can compare to her bloodlust is curiousity, no wonder she was an explorer before.

[astrxlfinale]

"Y'know," uh oh. It's the other general this time, not Caelus' usual tormentor. Feixiao grins with too-sharp fangs, ears giving a single, amused, evil twitch. "I'd heard from Yukong that there was a strange short-lived fellow with a taste for Foxian women that'd appeared in the Palace of Astrum about two years ago. Maybe the two of you aren't so unalike after all!"

Oh he knows that tone. A tone of a fine general who was laying back into her element, who had her sights honed on the good companion made her newest prey. It was funny how much she can promote a more reactive spark in him. Those golden eyes immediately snapped towards the sight, right into the purview of her radiant jades as it became a moment of exchanged glances. About ten different traps lingered in the very moment, all of them enticing, just aching for that opportunity to let curiosity become the spark upon kindle.

Since when would a Trailblazer turn away from these clearly important, 'diplomatic' matters?

"I know?" It had a touch of feigned innocence, as if it was a careful start to a dance to back away from such matters, an unwise move considering the very nature of the Hunt itself. Caelus would feel the genuine moment shift between them, how those fangs were prideful in being revealed and aimed right towards the very soul in question. The details, how her accounts snapped firm with the memories in his mind, prompting his spine to briefly seize up in a moment of surprise. Mouth briefly agape for one moment

Where in the hell does he even begin with this? Feixiao's very expression had power to it, tied with a brutal charm that could easily bring the 'prey' concept out of any soul she decided. It led to those brazen eyes of Caelus to focus towards the artificial clouds, playing casual while enjoying the idle breeze that caressed a case of goose flesh compared to casual skin. "Isn't-- that a good thing? A stern order tied with cases of a lil fun, things.." Ahem. "Like that should be a lil more.. how ya say it? Not exactly celebrated, but maybe caught as an auspicious sign."

Especially given who in the hell they were talking about!

Who in the hell could resist that natural allure?

Caelus was a soul that wasn't remotely shy in letting inspiration, base needs tied with a wild soul culminate into the storm known as him. Yet, leave it to the Merlin's Claw to transform this into a moment of outright bullying. Of course she'd be that very type! Gumption would right that faltering soul, prompting him back up, doubling the gutsiness to pivot upon a heel, turning towards Feixiao fully, even adding that decisive step to ensure he'd get further into her area of influence.

Those eyes had to be met. Even with that face of his signed with scarlet, and that clear effect upon his soul could practically be tasted upon the air. "All about a matter of good taste, right? Can't help but hope that person in question is living a damn good life, having no shame in what truly makes there heart get set alight. Maybe that should set an example, not the taste in question, but that rawness to be outright."

Goal: Do not proceed to check out Feixiao in this very moment. This was a danger line, the sort of line she'd play jump rope with . Yet the high as hell charm of her confidence was something to be adored all the same.

...

Fuck. He's failing the mission!

STARSCREAM ( Voyager ) Movie Studio Series GAMER EDITION 06

Immancabilissimo ecco anche STARSCREAM unirsi agli Studio Series Gamer Edition, e con lui di seguito si aggiungeranno anche i suoi colleghi Seeker, ma personalmente sono contento di questa versione Voyager del personaggio di War for Cybertron, dato che ai tempi ho adorato il Deluxe uscito come Generations Fall of Cybertron per come reinterpretava il design classico di Astrum.

Il JET SPAZIALE infatti si ispirava un po' agli iconici tetrajet del primo episodio dei cartoni G1, ma con l'aggiunta delle ali puntate in avanti, e questo SS è assai fedele ai concept design… pure troppo, però!

Il velivolo del gioco infatti risulta più aerodinamico, con il muso più sottile ed allungato e le ali più grandi, il contrario di questo modellino, purtroppo, cui si crede sia la versione "hoover mode" del mezzo, ovvero quella non in movimento, per via delle ali corte e dei motori posteriori più allargati, ma dovrebbe avere anche le due pinne posteriori abbassate, quindi diciamo che è una sorta di ibrido, al limite.

Come vedremo poi, il jet soffre di gigantismo del cockpit ed invidia delle ali perchè poi ALMENO ne favorirà l'aspetto del robot, ma intanto è un peccato che l'aereo risulti così goffo, anche se vale sempre la regola che in quanto mezzo cybertroniano ed alieno possa prendersi tutte le libertà estetiche che vuole, e che, ripeto, alla fine è fedele ad un concept design, solo che purtroppo è quello meno riuscito! ^^'

E' un peccato perchè poi il modello viene sminuito dal suo precedente Deluxe, che era decisamente più armonioso alla vista, ma è comunque ricco di particolari scolpiti e dipinti, con un ottimo rosso / bordeau e blu scuro metallici, tocchi di argento e violetto, e pure i simboli di fazione sugli alettoni ed entrambe le facce delle ali.

Ecco, se magari dipingevano pure i bordi del pezzo di plastica arancione che funge da vetro della carlinga, magari questa sembrava più affusolata e si evitava l'effetto "carotone". ^^'

Anche perchè non è così grossa per nulla, poichè contiene la testa del robot ed è quindi funzionale alla TRASFORMAZIONE, la quale è davvero bella elaborata partendo da quella più semplice dell'incarnazione Deluxe precedente, con però ora le braccia che sono incastrate nella parte anteriore inferiore e non posteriore, con i reattori che si allungano per diventar le gambe, il muso che al solito si abbassa e da cui appunto spunta il capo, mentre la parte superiore posteriore si ripiega, ognuno dei 3 moduli di cui è formata, e si adagia sulla schiena.

Il sacrificio estetico dell'aereo viene perlomeno ripagato dalla bella modalità di ROBOT, che mantiene quell'estetica bizzarra del personaggio dei videogiochi, mutuata vagamente dalla versione cinematografica a mio avviso, con le gambe con degli "artiglioni" al posto dei piedi, le anche larghe e le braccia un po' più lunghe della norma.

Purtroppo anche qui il carotone sul torso è fuori luogo, ma diciamo che col tempo l'occhio si abitua, mentre ora le ali corte hanno senso, MA forse era meglio magari farle accorciabili, dato che il jet ne è penalizzato, come abbiamo visto prima…

Ottima la testa sempre blu scuro metallico e la faccia argento scolpita perfettamente, così come carini i due modulini mobili ai lati della stessa ( "accessori" a parte non montati subito nella figura per via delle finestre aperte delle scatole... ), ma ancor meglio gli alettoni verticali ruotati di 180° verso l'alto, in modo da imitare al meglio i dettagli della schiena come si vedeva nel videogioco.

Ancora, davvero belli gli stinchi in rosso metalizzato, e ottimo anche come posabilità, potento ruotare il bacino, i pugni oltre al solito corredo standard, così come la testa puà anche abbassarsi e alzarsi per bene, e le ali possono "sbattere" su e giù tranquillamente.

A parte il summenzionato carotone sul petto, come altri eventuali inestetismi abbiamo un paio di vuoti nell'interno coscia, ma poi basta, mentre come accessori abbiamo le armi che sfoggiava nel videogioco, ovvero il fucile da cecchino chiamato per tutti Null-Ray in onore dell'arma storica sin dalla G1 di Starscream ed una mazza ferrata bella grande col manico separabile, che possono appendersi a riposo nei fori dietro la schiena.

Il Raggio-Zero, da buona tradizione dei WfC SS, può sostituirsi al solo avambraccio destro, con questo che però non trova poi posto per nascondersi nel robot, MA per fortuna almeno hanno messo anche un'impugnatura standard tonda al fucile, in modo da essere impugnato anche normalmente dalle mani. Peccato che il foro posteriore per agganciarlo al gomito sia esagonale e non compatibile con la spina della mazza, sennò si poteva creare un'unica armona.

Insomma, davvero un buon modello che non raggiunge la perfezione per colpa di un paio di dettagli minori ma significativi, ovvero le summenzionate ali piccole ed il cockpit spropositato, cui magari poi ci si abitua ma che ad una prima occhiata potrebbe smorzare gli entusiasmi, laddove invece il giocattolo ha parecchio da offrire ma al solito in fase di progettazione ci si perde in un bicchier d'acqua che potrebbe invece annegare quanto di buono c'è in questo Astrum videoludico.

[astrum-praeco]

Hi local resident Astrum Deus stan here with my Thoughts and headcanon about the new Astral Infection lore because if I don’t shout to the void about this, I will explode.

Overall such a huge fan of AD as cosmic detritivore that is such a vibe though I have some thoughts about the mechanics of the new Astral Infection, specifically as it relates to that whole “sapient beings can resist the Infection’s call” thing. Essentially I like to interpret it that the mind warping influence of the Infection can’t dominate living people, but the Infection can still very much make a person sick and then integrate their bodies from there. Sapient beings being completely immune to the effects just makes it way less spooky.

As for how AD came to be Infected despite them existing to filter the Astral Infection. I think that someone (Yharim) severely weakened/killed them, which allowed the Infection to take hold. That’s how I interpret the last line of AD’s lore item anyway.

Anywho, there’s my rambles. Feel free to ask questions I have so so many thoughts. Right now tho I’m gonna sleep since it is way too late.

Paid Deity Reading Review from @ad-astrum

This is a review I am doing out of my own will for a paid reading that was done by @ad-astrum ! I highly recommend you check Adelaide’s account out! She just is amazing. <3 Tis long so I am adding a cut-off to help. Please note that I am not being paid to say any of this and I want to be as honest as possible with this review! 

TW for: Long post, Personal Topics

To start, I (for a very long time) have been in a place where I was lost. I have had a lot of trials and tribulations in my life and where I know I have made some contact with the deities I (had) followed and worked with, I know I have not always been able to fully comprehend what is needing to be said. 

At least with these last six years, I have had so many ups and downs and quite a few times, I genuinely wondered what the point was in continuing onward with life. I had spent quite a lot of time even contemplating whether I was truly a “spiritual” person and worthy of being a witch. I hadn’t been able to keep up with my gifts I had been providing and I haven’t really done any spells. Maybe a few sigils were made here and there, but the unworthy feelings I harbored along with depression spiraling in from working 40 hours a week, being in school full time, and my mental and physical health continuing to drag me down. 

So, I got desperate as one does when left to their own devices after being paid a nice juicy paycheck and seeking answers and solidarity from others online. Though this was not the main reason I had sought for answers, it was a good portion of why. Primarily, I had noticed signs that were familiar to me, but also not. I had begun noticing crows coming in twos and occasionally threes, I noticed almost everything I turned to, would have some kind of Norse imagery or content involved, and quite a lot of it involved our beloved AllFather Odin. 

Now mind you, I NEVER saw myself as a Norse Pagan. I thought Loki and Thor were cool in the Marvel movies and myths, but I never exactly saw myself being a Norse Pagan. I also was never one for Greek Mythology and Hellenic Paganism either but here we are after receiving aid from Ares and Aphrodite a couple of times in my life. Truth be told, I was the kid that was (and still is) obsessed with the King Arthur myths and Celtic Paganism. I also was obsessed with Egyptian mythology (yes, I was the kid who had the Egyptology book growing up even though I wanted the Dragonology one but that’s okay!).

For me, I tend to be quite dense. I tend to be someone who is unable to really see signs unless they are hitting me right in the face (spiritually I have felt blocked for quite a while and if anyone has any tips for that I am down to listen not gonna lie). With all of the signs I did keep seeing though involving Odin, I knew I needed to start doing my research and find someone who could help shine a light within the darkness that was my uncertainty. Was this truly Odin I was being called to? Why? What did I need to hear?

I stumbled around and I did scroll through various sources until I crossed Adelaide’s tumblr page. I understood her focus was on Hellenism, but after speaking with her in the DM’s about doing a reading, I felt safe and comforted by the fact she was so kind, patient, and informative on what I needed. Absolutely one of the sweetest people I had met on here and I absolutely will keep following her because she is so kind and helpful. 

Like anyone who was hoping for answers, I happily paid the amount we agreed to for the details I was hopeful for. Though apologies now, but I genuinely underestimated Adelaide and her capabilities. I mean, I severely underestimated what this reading was going to be like. If you need detail, and are happy to pay her what she deserves, Adelaide will provide and she sure did.

I opened the pastebin link I had gotten and I didn’t even make it through the first paragraph without breaking down into literal tears. I wasn’t sad at all and it usually takes a lot for me to cry. I had been alone at work so far that night and it wasn’t entirely a bad day, but not exactly a good one either. It was going to be just another night where I went home and unwinded until I felt tired. 

Though this, this really just knocked me off my feet in a way I wasn’t expecting. I always was hesitant with deity readings, I have had someone scam me out of my money and just never provide what I requested and so I was almost worried it was going to happen again. I am so thankful I was wrong. 

To give a small bit of background about me, I originally had worked with Danu and Brigid. They were my first goddesses I had actually met and they both had welcomed me with open arms (though I never really understood why). That seemed to set a foundation of how my other encounters would be as I simply seemed to stumble into the contact of the deities I met and I would find every way to give them the respect they deserved. In turn, they nudged me further down the path that I now am on. 

Back to Brigid and Danu though, they were with me for at least a couple of years and both of them to me are basically like my mothers. I still hold so much love, respect and adoration for the both of them and I felt awful for even thinking, “Should I give my statue of Mother Brigid away to someone who may have more use for it than I?” I am glad I didn’t. 

Just reading that first paragraph was what did me in though and I don’t typically cry as I mentioned before. 

“ I do not believe any of these deities have truly left you “

Reading this made me realize I was silly to think that I was alone. I had spent so much time wondering why I was alone and left to try and fight by myself. I know I was doing better in life, but I knew I was starting to feel consumed by my fears of being alone. I continued onward after settling down again emotionally, but boy did the water works come back when I read,

“ For parting words, she simply said that she was pleased to have been with you and will always be around. “ 

This helped me realize that I needed to buckle up and get ready for a ride emotionally. There was a lot that would need unpacking, and I still have much to unpack from it all. 

After that paragraph, we moved onto Danu who had a similar response as Brigid. Aphrodite herself was as graceful and kind as she always has been, and I still feel I owe a lot of my progress to her as well. Without her, I would have never let go of the toxic and abusive relationships I had been in. I know personally, I should make a better attempt to reach out to her more and thank her over and over again. Ares though, I felt slightly intimidated by him, but at the same time I wasn’t entirely afraid. He just is a much quieter individual than I had expected and that is okay. From what I recall (and this reading proves it to me), he speaks when he feels it is necessary. 

Father Lucifer came next and I definitely cried again at the end of his paragraph. “ Lucifer simply said that he sees the light in you. “ That made me cry like a small child all over again and truthfully I was surprised that I had not known him since I was younger. My timing was off, but I am glad it was actually him as I felt I was not actually speaking to him at some points. 

I have much to thank him for, and I hope me even writing this will show others my love, adoration and respect I have for my deities. My deities, I cannot believe I get to say this and say it with such joy. 

Though with those fears, I just assumed I was just making my interactions up and I feel my self-doubt and mistrust of my own feelings has hindered me (even to this day) communications wise. I once again am glad to know I was so horribly wrong. 

The very last, was the most unexpected, and Papa Odin himself had just known that this reading was coming along, and he had been around the longest. Thinking about it now makes me want to cry all over again, but to me I feel this really reassured me because I know I had moments in life where I would see things involving Odin and feeling comfort in them. Internally, I would ask myself on occasion, “I wonder what it is like to just sit with him and talk. What is it like to work with him and learn from him?” 

Sure enough, here I am now laughing and almost crying at the fact that he was with me all along. I just needed to focus a bit more. I genuinely didn’t believe that I had mistaken him for The Morrigan (so sorry Papa Odin!) and yet he still took everything with good strides. I still am having trouble putting it in words how comforted and rejuvenated I feel to have this kindness, love, and support. 

For Odin himself, I cannot thank him enough for what he has done in my life so far. It makes me want to reevaluate my life and see just how many times I could have mistakenly missed him and signs he has given me. For someone who has been around for so long and has had a formative role in my life, I owe so much to him and am grateful to be blessed with his guidance and wisdom. I remembered for ages I wished I had a dad that would love and care for me and here I had Odin all along. Physically I may not be able to see him or hug him, but he was here all long and that is what matters so much to me.

At this point, Adelaide, thank you for all of this. Your words have brought me such joy, comfort, and inspiration and I had trouble thinking of how to even respond to all of this for a good bit of time. I even wondered what I needed to do at this point and I feel I have a solid idea of what I need to do now, but I just am still scrambling around to figure it all out. 

Little by little, I will walk towards my deities and I will do my very best to honor them. Thank all of you for the strength you have given me to stand back up, dust myself off, and continue on. This was what I needed to keep going and keep trying. I had made my username “mirroredpaladin” because I wanted to fight not only for the good of others, but for myself as well. It is about time I start actually doing that. 

From here on, I do want to find a way to properly and more consistently reach out to Odin, Lucifer and Ares. I want to find a way to properly thank them along with Brigid, Danu, and Aphrodite and it is about time I start looking where I can to do so. I know I need guidance, I never was properly educated on what to do with deity work, but I have to try for their sake and mine.

Thank you all for reading this. To also give some more love, I also want to thank @scarletarosa @thepastelpriestess and @its--in--the--weave​ and @blood-and-bunnies​ (I thought they had another username of @/rosegoldtunic before but I don’t remember) because these people have actually helped me get to where I am now along with Adelaide. <3
