Every Rose Has Its Sword

Every Rose Has Its Sword by wylf_storm Rating: Explicit Word Count: 55k

When Castiel Novak inherits an ancient plot of land in Scotland from his uncle, he leaps at the chance to move as far away from his past as possible. The place is charming, even if it has quirks, but best of all, nobody knows anything about him. It’s… mostly perfect. The only snag is the patch of woods on the land and the strange way nobody will talk about them. When spite leads Castiel into the Aikenwood despite the warnings, the very last thing he expects to find there is a knight named Dean in a bower full of roses. He’s handsome even if he’s also irritating and, despite himself, Cas is oddly charmed by him. He finds himself drawn back to the wood again and again, but there are stranger powers at work than just a knight and a few roses. A little digging reveals that most who enter the Aikenwood don’t come out again, and Dean isn’t all he appears to be. With their lives and feelings tangling like vines, Castiel soon finds he must do everything he can to save Dean from an impossible fate that threatens to tear them apart forever. But the truth has both roses and thorns, and Cas isn’t sure which he’s going to find if he succeeds…

This fic offers whimsy and thrills in equal amounts. I'm always a fan of mixing supernatural elements in with a Dean and Cas who don't know entirely what they're dealing with, so this fic instantly appealed to me. It also has plenty of twists and turns, one of which took me entirely by surprise.

This fic's fairy tale elements come from the fact that Dean is a knight who is trapped in a bower full of roses. A little investigating by Castiel leads him to discover that Dean has been cursed by the Fae King as a punishment. He cannot leave the bower, and time will pass him by until he gives into the Fae King and gives him what he wants. Intrigued by Dean, Cas starts to visit him almost every day, bringing Dean music, movies, and even pie.

Mutual pining abounds as Cas finds himself falling in love with Dean. I'm always a fan of fics where Dean and Cas genuinely enjoy spending time together, and in this fic, you can see Cas' feelings for Dean develop. Unfortunately for Cas, the Fae King's patience wears out, and suddenly Dean's curse comes with an expiration date--for Dean.

This fic is a charming and fun retelling of a fairy tale. Those unfamiliar with the original will be intrigued, and those familiar with the original will enjoy seeing Dean and Cas in their new setting!

The yaoi of all time

[wondering-witchcraft]

I read a recommendation to learn about curses as a beginning witch. I don't recommend that anyone perform curses on anyone, but here is one I have read on Tumblr.

Forget-me-nots can also be used for spells that aren't curses:

Forget Me Not

A curse full of regrets made with no regrets

Materials

A poppet or representation of target

A jar or container big enough to contain the poppet

Rose petals

Strips of paper

A pen

Candles

Preparation

Pre-make poppet (this is a curse poppet so please make accordingly). On each strip of paper (and there should be a large amount) write “Forget me not.”

Performance

Have all of your supplies on your workspace.

If you usually cast a circle, do so now.

Light however many candles you want to. They’re mainly for dramatic effect.

Kiss the poppet (sweetly, if you can manage).

Now place it into the container. With each line you say, place a strip of the paper you wrote on into the container with it.

Forget me not

Forget me never.

You will regret this mistake

Now and forever.

Cross me once.

Cross me twice.

Now that you have,

You’ll see I’m not so nice.

I whisper to you nothing sweet.

I whisper to you nothing kind.

But you’ll always remember me.

I shan’t fade with time.

You had me once.

You had my favor.

You threw me away.

Now not even the gods can help this be over.

Forget me not.

Forget me never.

You’ll remember me

And regret forever.

Once this is done, close and seal the container. I recommend doing something like blowing the buried poppet one last kiss before doing so. It will never be opened again unless you want to break the curse.

If you cast a circle, close it now.

Put the container somewhere hidden or throw it away. I do not recommend breaking this curse.

This curse has been performed and has worked.

May the only Let's Play on YouTube of the game you're currently obsessed with be a guy with extremely poor pattern recognition who repeatedly commits the exact same basic blunder and shouts loudly in surprise and dismay every single time it fails to work.

Keep My Name Out Of Your Fucking Mouth ~ Binding curse

Howdy y'all! I was dealing with some bullshit that I would rather not deal with but a las, here I am. Anyways, did a little thing and thought I'd share for anyone who has to work with absolute vain, dumb pieces of shit like me. Please excuse how cringe the writing is, I really let my 13 year old emo me run wild with this but it felt fantastic to cast. As always, when cursing and hexing please make sure you stay safe. Ground yourself before hand, cleanse yourself after, don't damage yourself just to get one over on someone else. Happy casting.

Ingredients:

your rage

a black candle(ideally taper but a tealight or whatever will do just fine)

twine(so they feel like they're suffocating)

a sharp utensil or needle to carve said candle

Steps:

Carve the target's name into the black taper candle with the needle . Put a circle around their name and a giant X over the circle. This is to symbolize a bound mouth.

Wrap the candle with twine, visualizing the person being bound and silenced. Please practice fire safety. DO NOT LEAVE UNATTENDED. Keep in a safe dish or simply opt out of the twine if you know you don't want to sit there the whole time.

Light the black taper and say the incantation below. Let the candle burn down completely or fully past the engraving, focusing on your intent throughout the process.

Dispose of any left over remnants in a way that suits you. Throw it in the trash, a curse box, your jobs dumpster, just be eco-friendly please.

Incantation:

"May your lies and slander turn to dust,

In your mouth, words of me shall rust.

When you speak, the twine constrains,

Your words of me, bound in chains.

Feel the pressure, feel the strain,

Each attempt will be in vain.

By this candle, black as pitch,

Your mouth shall twitch, your tongue shall stitch.

Silence now, hold your breath,

Speak of me and feel my wrath.

This spell I weave, this curse I cast,

Keep my name out of your fucking mouth,

And let this silence last."

This meme was a great opportunity to get (a quarter of) my character analysis down

[utopicwork]

I had a breakthrough yesterday that I've been fervently working on. With what I know about image compression and terminals I was able to implement image and animation display in terminals with color. I'll show a few examples and then explain the significance (I can't show the animation right now because I can't record it at the moment).

Note: These images were automatically optimized not manually, better quality is possible these are samples

The reason this matters is we now have a way to transport graphics in a very optimized way in which we only have to store the indexed colors and the positional data for the colors (which we have a novel method of optimizing) notably you only have to send the indexed colors once for an animation or stream of images. This provides us the ability to render graphics with no GUI so with far less overhead.

TLDR: We have an entirely new way to send and receive images/animations/streamed sequences

For the more technically interested read on

This uses the Python Curses wrapper, unicode block elements and Pillow to achieve this. The limitations are loose but input images will automatically be posterized to handle the 255 color limit of Curses (a little fuzzy on if there are ways around this beyond the fg/bg doubling idea I'm thinking qbout, I'll look into it soon) and your image needs to be a width and height that can be displayed within your particular terminal setup ex: a 32x32px image needs 32 lines and 32 columns.

To accommodate this for PierMesh we can use the ShrinkRay optimizations.

why exactly is true loves kiss more likely to work if the kisser is female

(This is in reference to the fairy PC rules)

It’s like that because it’s referencing myths and fairytales where the deliverer is usually a woman, and it opens up interesting opportunities to explore what a “woman” is, especially in the context of monsters, same with references to things like “true love” and “true name” in the same ruleset. The end result, however this ends up being interpretted by your group and happening in your adventure, doesn’t say anything about human biology, but it may say something about fairy society, or our society.

Plus, it makes it matter if a character is a woman or not, which is not a factor for anything else in the game, and I like it when things that would just be “fluff” elements of the character in any other rpg come into play and make some sort of small difference - Eureka is all about that honestly. So this is a way to make that matter without like really discouraging female or male characters in particular or it being like a big thing in the game, and especially without doing any “women have -2 Strength” type shit.
