#doggo Ares

[kasel-the-mightless]

Okay— we have Owlthena, we have Horseidon, but what about doggo Ares? Well—

Here he is!! Doggo Ares!! I tried to draw him as a wolfdog, but that it didn't fit with how I imagine Ares

So— he is an alabai (aka Central Asian Shepherd Dog)!! It's a very large shepherds dogs with a very bad reputation, but in fact they are a smart and good doggos!!

At least that's what my dad said. He had a female Alabai dog, Thetis. She passed away before I was born, but my dad and my sister said she was the best girl in the world. I believe them!!

[skylertheminish]

So a little puppy decided to come to my house. He is a good boy.

The Wiki is a lifesaver!!

Hear me ramble about these sprites XD

We get to see Valefor's full sprite!!

I love his outfit, it has the right balances of Black and Gold colors.

And his nails!! 🫦

Peepaw!!! That wasn't a Toga!! They're Pants!!

Interesting that Naberius has a Plagued Mask. Tho, in the Ars Goetia it said that he can turned into a Crow or Crane

Just a guilty pleasure cause I kinda like Buer's design and I like his pants and we get to see the Doggo :3

*Dies from being to turned by this...*

Why are these bath sprites too sexy and hot!!!

Oh! Satan has a Butterfly knife!!

Nice to see that your crotch part of your pants is still intact, your Majesty XD

Same, Dantalian. I much prefer to wear Snickers then Black shoes when wearing a school Uniform.

Last one for this post, is my Fav!!! Oh my god!! I love him so much!!!

Just seeing your top half was enough for me, but I love seeing you fully!! ^3^

This 2017 Pueblo style home in Harriet, AR looks like a regular build, but it's actually an Earthship, and is completely off the grid. 2bds, 2ba, 4,662 sq ft, $2m.

This place is huge, so it's a good thing it's off grid.

As far as earthship's go, it's surprisingly beautiful. Usually, they look very DIY and lumpy. This one is colorful, has nice stone work, iron grills and some wood floors, which is unusual.

Nice living room with a stone fireplace. The floor is beautiful. This home had to have been professionally built.

The built-in dining area. Love that table.

Isn't this pretty?

Kitchens in DIY earthships are usually very spare. This one is fully equipped with gorgeous tile.

Very nice, lots of storage.

Nice dining area. Love the big rock.

Beautiful decorative old stove and tile. Love that tree on top of the rocks on the left. This is so beautifully done.

The primary bedroom is very large, and it's open to the rest of the living area.

Door to bath #1. The other bedroom and bath are in another building.

Usually, earthship homes don't have such luxurious baths. This is fabulous.

I've never seen an earthship with a walk-in closet, either.

Fenced garden and an outbuilding.

This could be a sun/plant room or art studio. It's a nice bonus space.

The power setup.

This looks like a dog kennel. The address is Schnauzer Ln, so I'm thinking that the owners are breeders, maybe?

Definitely a facility set up for doggos, and there's a schnauzer plaque. I've had 2 of them- they're cool dogs.

There's also a guest facility. So colorful.

The property is like its own little town, measuring 80 acres.

fun/ not so fun facts CoL | facts dumpster

Fun (or not so fun) facts I collected/googled while staring at the CoL disaster demigods way too long...alle Angaben ohne Gewähr :'D @curse-of-lauzarus | @shineyfroggo korrigiere mich bitte, falls was nicht passt lmao.

𓅰 𓅬 𓅭 𓅮 𓅯𓅰 𓅬 𓅭 𓅮 𓅯𓅰 𓅬 𓅭 𓅮 𓅯𓅰 𓅬 𓅭 𓅮 𓅯𓅰 𓅬 𓅭 𓅮 𓅯

Ordnet man die göttlichen Elternteile der disaster demigods in Götter-Kategorien ein, erhält man folgende Einteilung:

12 Olympier | Hauptgottheiten

Poseidon (Arden)

Hermes (Tay)

Athene (Lark)

Aphrodite (Val) [*Aphrodite zählt, obwohl sie von Uranos abstammt. In der Homer-Version ist sie eine Tochter von Zeus]

Apollo (Yūhei)

Gottheiten der Unterwelt bzw. Götter, die dort residieren

Thanatos 2 x (Cora & Irene)

Persephone (Gus)

Morpheus (Vlad)

Titanen

Eos (Kiiya)

Das ergibt wiederum diese Verwandtschaftsverhältnisse, (wenn die in Percy Jackson irgendwie relevant wären, aber da haben die Götter ja keine DNA im eigentlichen Sinne, sofern ich mich recht erinnere)

Tay, Lark, Yūhei und Gus (ebenso Val, je nachdem wie man Aphrodite zählt) wären theoretisch Cousins (Ihre göttlichen Elternteile sind alle Kinder des Zeus, je nach Quelle)

Wie man bei Vlads Charakterseite schon sieht, sind Cora und Irene seine Cousinen, sogar auf “normalen” Wege ohne irgendwelche Inzestgeschichten wuhu 🥳

Eos hat zu keinen ein Verwandtschaftsverhältnis, außer man rechnet Aphrodite aus “Tochter” des Uranos, der wiederum der Großvater von Eos ist :’) Somit könnte man Kiiya und Val eine Verwandtschaft anrechnen.

Was ich aber sehr unterhaltsam finde, ist, dass es eine Erzählung gibt, nach der Aphrodite eifersüchtig reagierte, nachdem Eos mit Ares anbandelte und sie Eos deshalb mit einer unstillbaren Begierde nach sterblichen Männer strafte. So ist Eos dazu verdammt, dass sie sich immer nach Männern umsieht, wenn sie mit ihrem Wagen über den Himmel zieht, Das erfüllt sie mit so viel Scham, dass sie errötet, was wiederum auch den Himmel rot werden lässt. 

Sieht man sich nach dem Geburtsdatum den Wochentag an, so sind die meisten disaster demigods geboren am:

Montag (Arden, Gus, Irene und Kiiya)

Freitag (Vlad, Lark und Tay)

Sonntag (Cora)

Samstag (Val)

Donnerstag (Yūhei)

Die häufigsten Sternzeichen sind:

Jungfrau (Vlad, Lark und Tay)

Fische (Irene und Cora)

Waage (Arden)

Löwe (Gus)

Stier (Kiiya)

Skorpion (Val)

Zwilling (Yūhei)

Wiederum ergibt die meisten Geburtstage in folgenden Monaten:

Oktober (Vlad, Lark und Arden)

März (Irene & Cora)

August (Gus)

April (Kiiya)

November (Val)

Juni (Yūhei)

September (Tay)

Also haben wir in folgenden Jahreszeiten die meisten Kinder:

Herbstkinder (1.9 bis 30.11): Tay, Vlad, Lark, Arden und Val

Frühlingskinder (1.3. bis 31.7): Irene, Cora und Kiiya

Sommerkinder (1.6 bis 31.8): Yūhei, Gus

No Winterkinder were chosen for this mission :c

Das häufigste Haustier ist der Hund, gefolgt von einer Katze :D kinda need a scene where they all go for a walk with their doggos

Mishka (Kaukasischer Owtscharka) | Vlad

Layla (Dalmatiner) | Arden

Samu & Tsumu (Rottweiler) | Cora

Alfred (Tigerkatze) | Gus

Dead Club

Dead Girlfriend/Boyfriend Club: Irene & Vlad

Dead Mother Club: Gus, Lark, Cora (je nach Auslegung kann man hier rein in der Theorie Vlad mitrechnen, aber eigentlich auch nicht xD)

Disaster Demigods with confirmed Exes

Irene (RIP Girlfriend)

Vlad (RIP Boyfriend)

Arden (Ex-Boyfriend Dawn)

My mom/dad is cooler than your mom/dad cause she/he has wings- Disaster Demigod Edition:

Cora & Irene: Thanatos | Wird meist mit schwarzen Flügeln dargestellt

Vlad: Morpheus | Darstellung geflügelt und/oder mit Flügel am Kopf

Kiiya: Eos | Darstellung mit zwei bis vier Flügen

Tay: Hermes | Darstellung mit Flügeln und/oder geflügelten Schuhen, geflügelten Helm

Häufigste Augenfarben

Brauntöne: Gus, Cora, Kiiya, Yūhei

Blautöne: Arden, Irene

Grautöne: Lark, Val

Grüntöne: Vlad

Braun/Grün: Tay

Häufigste Haarfarben

Brauntöne | Gus, Cora, Kiiya, Val

Blondtöne | Lark, Arden, Vlad (Imposter)

Schwarz | Tay, Yūhei

Kupfer | Irene

Height Comparisons:

smallest guy (Tay) & smallest girl (Cora): height difference: 10 cm

tallest guy (Gus) & tallest girl (Irene): height difference: 13 cm

smallest guy (Tay) & tallest guy (Gus): height difference: 32cm😭

smallest girl (Cora) & tallest girl (Irene): height difference: 29cm😭

Danke an alle, die es bis hier her geschafft haben und deren Hirn jetzt voll mit unnützen Wissen und Statistiken ist ✧ദ്ദി( ˶^ᗜ^˶ )

[saiintofawe]

after reading the sun and the star my semi-dormant pjo obsession has risen and is infesting my brain side by side with bsd. so.

bsd percy jackson au: a series of self indulgent hcs

skk is the percabeth of the situation. iconic duo. unstoppable. EVERYBODY has heard about them. literal legends among the demigods baby

dazai is a child of athena, chuuya a child of ares

dazai's team beat chuuya's during capture the flag once and chuuya went aight bet. and kicked dazai's ass during the next capture the flag. his team still lost but at least he got an excuse to fight that annoying know-it-all bandaged and beautiful son of athena

the rest is history

the akutagawa sibilings are children of hades. goth mfs

now imagine them having the same storyline as the di angelo sibilings... now in this au you can see why akutagawa talks like he belongs to another age

gin would consider joining the hunters of artemis, but in the end they end up refusing to not leave their brother alone. plus, being immortal would mean seeing him and all of their loved ones die, and gin has had enough of her loved ones dying

if skk is percabeth, shinskk is solangelo

does atsushi fit the standards for a child of apollo? idk but i can't think of another godly parent for him so be it!

unlike will solace, healing is not atsushi's strongest task but he still spends a lot of time helping in the infirmary

and that's where he meets ryūnosuke

unlike solangelo the initial hostility is NOT one sided. ryū behaves like a bitch? atsushi gets bitchy right back.

cue to atsushi looking extremely pissed while bandaging ryū's arm and them muttering insults at each other

ryūnosuke swears he hates that fucking failed doctor and atsushi would almost believe him if it wasn't for the amount of times ryūnosuke has tried sacrificing himself to save him during their quests

also in this au rashomon is a hellhound like mrs. o'learly. she's a sweet doggo that devours space and souls

or she's one of ryū's cocoa puffs? (does this count as a tsats spoiler taken out of context?)

you know that one scene in tsats where nico kisses the back of will's neck and says "i'm proud of you"? now picture that as atsushi to ryūnosuke. yeah.

also atsushi has plague powers bc i say so

yosano is the real will here: overworked healers who feel extremely guilty for every patient that died under their watch to the point of considering themselves murderers

she runs that infirmary like it's the navy

she's also a hell of a fighter, both with bows and arrows and with her own fists

bff with ranpo, who's the oracle!

they gossip abt apollo (boyfail) and complain abt their respective fundamental but hella hard roles at chb

also besties w/ chuuya

also hear me out on kousano in this au... yosano falls helplessly in love with hunter of artemis!kouyou. kouyou tries to convince herself that she's not falling for that bossy and selfless and brave doctor because she has an oath to keep and she couldn't let love knock at her door again. so everytime the hunters come to chb kouyou keeps yosano company and it's all longing looks and painful yearning. yosano wishes she could convince the redhead to break the oath and stay.

but she won't. i <3 kousano angst

moving onto happier lesbians. gin loves wandering by themselves in the forest or by the lake. people know them as the demigod who just fucks off to take a stroll in the woods and disappear there for an indefinite amount of time

and that's how she meets an awkward, stubborn but lovely dryad: you guessed it, it's higuchi!

gin was having a bad day and kicked a tree because they were just so angry— anger turned to guilt when the tree fucking yelped

gin immediately apologized and higuchi asked them what was bothering them. gin never loved to talk, so they were very surprised by themselves when they started rambling about their problems to a dryad they just accidentally hurt

from that day gin began spending even more time in the forest

sometimes they bring higuchi to camp

it isn't unusual for dryads to wander around camp, but higuchi usually kept on her own before meeting gin

higuchi helps gin to open up about their emotions and lower their walls, gin helps higuchi to make friends and to value and love herself

chuuya's fatal flaw is loyalty, dazai's is pride, ryūnosuke's is holding grudges, atushi's is holding too tight onto the past, gin's is also loyalty, yosano's is guilt

tachihara is a child of hermes. parallels between two regretful traitors el oh el

except that luke fucking sucks while tachihara has my heart

OKAY NOW OPEN YOUR EARS. STORMBRINGER ENJOYERS RISE. RIMLAINE AS SILENA AND CLARISSE..... CAN YOU SEE WHAT IS SEE........

lucy is deffff a child of aphrodite but she's so lovely she doesn't even need to use charmspeak to get what she wants. whatever you say beloved princess

idk why but i can picture her throwing an hairbrush at an ancient titant like rachel... her and rachel are acc pretty similiar imo but i will not elaborate

poe is an athena kid! the biggest loser in cabin 6!

lucy and yosano tease him on his crush on ranpo

ranpo is there like damn. is this guy gonna confess or do i have to tell him we are going to date via prophecy

poe is a surprisingly good archer, the apollo kids are almost jealous

nikolai is an hecate kid. a little trickster. a silly magician. he will steal your nose but like in the literal sense and he might not give it back

his best friend is sigma from the aphrodite cabin. sigma cannot fucking stand him

nikolai is actually the reason why sigma has split colored hair. it used to be fully white but one day nikolai went heyyy girlie look at this new hair trick my sibiling taught me :] and sigma ended up actually loving the look? so they kept it

the dryads love sigma and he spends a lot of time with them. they braid flowers in each other's hair and chill

nikolai on the other hand somehow befriended the arpies

fyodor is a child of nemesis. edgelord

jouno is a child of hermes, the eldest in the cabin

half of the camp wants him, the other half wants him gone

teruko is a child of hebe, the goddess of youth!!!!

she's ones of the oldest campers along with jouno, but she prefers to keep her child form for unknown reasons

also i can see her joining the hunters tbh

that's it for now folks i hope someone appreciates my brainrot xoxo

[victorluvsalice]

Merry Christmas Marie!

@regicidalheart Your request was for your OC Madeline in the Valicer In The Dark verse, as a young teen out with her dog that the trio had to save from a mugging or the like -- and I was only too happy to comply! XD Here's my favorite crime trio learning all about the local version of Maddie and her doggo Scout -- hope you enjoy!

--

“...thank you.”

“You’re welcome,” Alice replied simply, wiping the blood off her blade with a well-stained cloth. “Not like we could just pass by when we saw that wretch attempting to separate you from your purse.”

“Especially after he kicked your dog,” Victor added, scowling. “I hate people who do that.”

The girl – who looked creepily like a younger version of herself, Alice noted – smiled faintly at that, said abused pooch – a solid-looking brown dog with a pointy black snoot – sitting by her side and regarding them cautiously. “I, um, I got that impression after you blasted him into a nearby wall. I’m surprised he got back up after that. I thought for sure the Bell was going to ring.”

“Some people are just blessed with good healing and solid constitutions,” Alice said, examining her own miraculously-unscarred hand and recalling a fire that should have taken it from her. “Not always the ones you want to be, of course, but...”

“That’s up to nature and the gods,” Smiler picked up, favoring their rescuee with a grin. “But enough about that – I’m Smiler, and this is Alice and Victor! We’re the Three Pillars!” They offered their hand. “Who are you, and how are you doing? I hope that arse didn’t hurt you.”

“I’m Madeline – and no, he didn’t have the chance,” the girl said, taking their hand with a touch of trepidation. “Poor Scout’s the only one who got a boot to the side.”

The dog whined, almost on cue. “I see – poor Scout indeed,” Smiler agreed, keeling down and holding out their hand for Scout to sniff. “I’m not an animal doctor, but I do know a few things about bruises – and being kicked,” they added with a faint chuckle. “I could take a look at it for you.”

“Or, if you prefer, we could just walk you back home, then leave you in peace,” Victor added, with a small smile of his own.

Madeline winced, and Scout whined, rubbing his – Alice was pretty sure it was a “him,” anyway – head against her leg. “Uh – that – that would be kind of hard,” she muttered into her collar. “I don’t really have a home anymore.”

“What?” Alice tucked away both cleaning cloth and knife, folding her arms in concern. “Why not?”

“What happened?” Smiler asked, instantly on the alert for unhappiness to squash.

“My father...he...” Madeline sniffled, suddenly looking rather younger than the fifteen years Alice guessed her to be. “I’m – I’m devil-cursed, according to him. I keep hearing things nobody else does, or seeing things that aren’t there...it’s not like I want to, but I can’t make it stop, either! I’ve tried, but it never works! Every time, I slip up and answer a question nobody asked, or – or end up screaming over some Horror that doesn’t actually exist!” Scout licked her hand, and she rubbed the dog’s head. “Father paid all sorts of people to come look at me, but none of them could make it stop either. So he finally said that he wasn’t going to have a child that had a – a demon’s stink all over her and threw me and Scout out.” She let out a watery, humorless laugh. “If that mugger had gotten my purse, he would have been very disappointed. I don’t even have a Coin to my name.”

“Curiouser and curiouser – it seems that your good deed may have netted you a kindred spirit,” Cheshire commented, winding his way around Alice’s ankles.

I think it’s netted all of us one, Alice responded, glancing first at Victor and seeing the memories of a giant house that was never a home written all over his face, then at Smiler and the memories of their wretched bastard of a birth father all over theirs. Which means it’s a very good thing we came down this way. “Well then – I think it’s safe to say your father is a total arse,” she said aloud.

“Oh, definitely,” Smiler nodded, standing up. “You need a friend – and fortunately, I think we’re just the people for the job,” they added, trademark grin turning back on. “Why don’t you stick with us for a bit? We’d be happy to look after you and Scout.”

“We’d feel awful just letting you go off on your own,” Victor agreed. “Not if there was something we could do.”

“I...” Madeline made some faces. “I don’t know...I’m grateful for you getting rid of that mugger, but...”

“But you barely know us,” Alice filled in. “We’re not going to force you to do anything – we’d just like to see you somewhere safe if we can.”

“At least let us get you a proper hot meal,” Smiler wheedled. “We can take you over to the Golden Plum!”

Madeline’s eyes went wide. “The Golden Plum? Isn’t that place expensive?”

“Not when you’ve helped the head chef create one of the dishes of her dreams!” Smiler offered their arm. “Come on – just one meal, and we can work from there.”

“Please?” Victor said, clasping his hands before him.

Madeline squinted at them, then looked at her dog. “Scout?”

Scout circled around them and gave them all a thorough sniff – then barked once, tail wagging. Madeline smiled and took Smiler’s arm. “Okay then – but you have to tell me how you know the chef at the Golden Plum.”

“Sure – it’s a favorite story of mine,” Smiler beamed as the group moved off. “Okay, first off – have you heard of Dragon’s Bane fruit?”

[danieyells]

Since we know that the incantations are anagrams of ars goetia demon names i've been thinking lately of an AU where the ghouls are becoming overtaken by/taking on traits of the demon they made a pact with, even sharing their bodies with them

And like. Ultimately some of the ghouls are surprisingly fine with this(Towa and Amdusias and Taiga and Balam in particular are mostly chill) while others are like. This is worse than being a ghoul. (Luca in particular is taking this rather poorly. Gamigin is nice, at least, but he's told Luca everything that he can about his brother and. . .Luca didn't like the answer so he's staying with him to help however he can.)

And of course the Institute wants to study them and keep them on the island and the PC is a source of interest because the demons all call her "Inheritor" since she has the Sage Ring. So everybody is stuck on Darkwick which very few of them are big into. They can hide the demonic traits so they can go on missions but they don't really trust them to go out much even with the PC there. But of course they're causing increasing fear and distrust among the general students and many of the faculty and the PC has to try and keep everyone in check and keep the peace as usual. (Fortunately many of the ghouls and demons are willing to help as they're not all of ill nature.)

As for why the demons are surfacing they're not really sure but the leading suspicion relates to the Sage Ring, of course. As long as the PC is contained to the island the demons will be contained there too, so they can only go on missions if the PC goes with them. But so far the demons don't seem too interested in causing trouble and are just having fun on the surface. They'd like to leave the island and the PC, understandably, doesn't think that's a good idea, but fears what'll happen if they get bored.

There isn't like a story or anything to this AU, I mostly just imagine them with traits or urges relating to the demon they got and occasionally grappling for control with someone who may not have the same personality or interests as them. For example Glasya-Labolas is a dog with griffin wings who is "author and captain of manslaughter and bloodshed" so Alan just. Fighting the most vicious and violent urges. But also doggie urges. Also his tail keeps wagging and smacking stuff when he's happy but it's between his legs a lot because he's stressed and nervous. And Glasya-Labolas itself is more like Taiga in nature, but he's promised not to hurt anybody mostly! But it does become a big grinning doggo in Alan's body, which he finds very embarrassing.

[jelliyfishlight]

UNFILTERED REACTIONS TO PJO SHOW EPISODE 7: yes, spoilers. No, coherence.

STARTING ON CRUSTY FROM THE JUMP. A LITTLE OFF THE TOP?!??

DEATH????? Damn

Sooo no a little off the top??? Procrustes has to be a niche one. I’m waiting for when he DOESNT know a myth.

“You’re lucky we’re letting you keep your head, dummy”

NO A LITTLE OFF THE TOP??? Would that have idk breached the rating??? If they trapped a man and chopped his head off?? Tryna keep that pg rating huh.

Soo the entrance to Hades isn’t a music studio?? I suppose Procrustes is more of an iconic moment.

But I don’t appreciate the implication that the 1990s was a long time ago. I know it wassss but I don’t need it being used as a point of reference for a long period of time 😭

NOT ANNABETH GIVING GROVER THE RED RUBBER BALL TO GROVER AS A STRESS TOY TO EXPLAIN WHY TF SHE WOULD HAVE IT FOR CERBERUS

Poor baby Percy and Sally just going through the absolute most.

Farewell “we died in a bath tub” we hardly knew ye. And Charon, aren’t you like… severely underpaid??? Take the money before sending the dog after them!

Also Cerberus looking heckin adorable. Giant Rottweiler!!

Doggos be doggos after all. And Cerberus you delightful lil pupper!!

But jeez this is going at LIGHTNING PACE

YALL WERE CONCERNED ABOUT THE FOUR PEARLS. Look. Grover lost it. As expected. Gotta have faith y’all.

Ohhhhh. Annabeth made an early exit??

TARTARUS PIT. BYE BYE CURSED SHOES

OH ABRUPT APPEARANCE OF THE MASTERBOLT

I kinda vibe with this eccentric artistic uncle energy that Hades is giving but I just mid-Percy epiphany about Kronos realised this is Nico and Bianca and Hazel’s dad

NOT PERCY SAYING “Hold fast, mom” WHEN HE ACTIVELY HAS TO LEAVE HER

POSEIDON?!?!

Ok but that’s a fun hack to summon a god. Light a match and dunk it in melted ice cream. Shows up with a downpour.

Poseidon like two seconds to look your son in the eye jfc

I do enjoy this convo between Sally and Poseidon tho. Sally finally being able to speak about all her worries and concerns to someone who understands her plight

ARES FIGHT ARES FIGHT ARES FIGHT

[taddy-cat]

You are required to name five things that make you happy and send asks to the last ten people that have reblogged you to do the same. Do it!

1) fat baby (my cat, Loki)

2) fuzzy blankets

3) being warm (Taddy does not handle the cold well)

4) seeing other people's art! It's really cool to see the things other people make

5) Ares (family doggo)

Last Days

(Some entries from my oc Silver's "Book of Shadows" / diary, leading up to her death. The photo is of my actual doggo who passed away eight years ago. 🥺🥹).

'

24th June 2003

Confidence Spell

In a cleansed space, dress a small orange candle with oil and coat with mixed herbs, most notably rosemary, chamomile and lavender. State your intention before lighting the match. Sit and watch in a comfortable position while visualising the light glowing within yourself.

I did it.

I told them.

The spell worked, it gave me the courage to stand in front of them and finally come out. In hindsight I should have remembered to cast a ward of protection around myself for the aftermath. But Derek at the shop told me that focusing too much on protection magic can actually attract harmful energies. And, to be honest, a part of me wanted the drama. I wanted my family to give a shit, even if it was thrown in my face. Wow, gross imagery there, Silver.

I suppose it went better then some. Reading posts on some gay and lesbian forums, some folks have it a lot worse, especially over in America. This one girl's dad was a pastor (I think that's like a Vicar? We only ever called them that around my town). When she came out to him, he had her sent to some preachy conversion therapy camp and she ended up having to run away to live with her cousin, now her immediate family act like she's dead. Yikes. I didn't get it that bad.

My sister rolled her eyes and scoffed. "Sure you are. You're totally not just doing this for attention, like the witchy thing." And my brother was cringing like I'd tried to flash him or something. "How do you even know? You've not even had that many boyfriends!" Ugh! What the fuck?! What kind of older brother wants his sister to sleep around more than dudes until she "can be certain"? I've had enough experience as I need, bruv! Think he just feels weird now as I've probably ruined all that lesbian p*rn I know he's into after that time I used the computer after him and he forgot to delete his history.

And Mum? Well.

She cried. She didn't wail or scream or anything but if was kinda like the cry of a little kid who got told they weren't allowed to get some Pik n Mix at Woolies. I asked if she was angry and she just threw her hands up and said she was disappointed I wouldn't "at the least" give her grandkids. Then she stormed outside to smoke with my sister.

I felt so cold and numb afterwards. What did that even mean? How would being gay mean I can't be a mum? We've all watched Friends, we saw Ross' ex Carol be a mum, Susan was his adoptive mum, that could happen to me. Or I could adopt. Fuck, I want to be a mum, someday...way, way, way off. And anyway, she has a grandkid! I'm surprised my brother didn’t pipe up to remind her of that. It was just me and him left in the room and it was awkward as fuck. Bri and I have butted heads but I'm closer with him than Lisa, which is not saying much. Think my confession ruined whatever little sibling bond was there.

Shit, I wish Dad had been there. He'd have been cool with it. He'd have been so proud of me for being brave enough to tell them all and he'd have given me one of his epic bear hugs.

Except that's a lie.

According to Brian, anyway. When I mentioned Dad to him, he scoffed and said "You're joking, right? Dad was homophobic as shit. This the guy who refuses to watch Star Trek TNG because a 'poofta' was the Captain."

That hurt worse than any reaction the others had to my coming out. At first I hoped he was just saying it to get a rise out of me or just to be a dick. But the more I looked back through my hazy memories, I can recall those tiny little bigoted comments which as a kid you just don't care about. Because they didn't matter to me back then. All I cared about was that Dad was fun, that he spoiled me rotten, that he'd take me to McDonalds whenever I asked and to the cinema and Stone Henge.

I needed some air after that. Jess always provided an easy excuse to go for a walk around the fields to clear my head. While she bounded off after squirrels once I let her off lead, I sat under a tree and cried my fucking eyes out. Not for the reactions of those I got, but for the one I would never get.

Those breathing exercises Derek showed me helped a lot. The throbbing in my head died down a little. Chanting the names of the Goddess while I tried to focus on letting go of that useless worry over a dead parent's opinion of me.

It sounds awful but, given how many father-daughter relationships I've seen break down when girls reach their teens, maybe I was lucky to lose my dad as young as I was before he could truly disappoint me.

But either way, I did it. I'm now and out and proud gay (or bi, I'm not 100%, just definitely not straight) witch. Love me or leave me.

So mote it fucking be.

31st October 2003

And the fires shall burn, and the wheel of life shall turn, and the dead come back home on Samhain!

Happy Halloween!

As it's the Wiccan New Year, I guess I should make a resolution? I resolve to start living my damn life.

Ever since I dropped out of college, it's like I've been drifting through life. The few jobs I've had haven't gone anywhere and I just don't know what to do with myself. Actually, no, I fantasise about the life I want all the time.

A cottage in the woods. I wanna wake up and breathe in nature every morning. I want my own garden where I can grow fruit and veg and herbs for my spells. I want to be able to sit and read my fantasy books in the sunshine for hours in peace. Obviously Jess will come with me, I'm pretty much the only one who walks and takes care of her, she's my bestest girl. And I'll adopt three or five more dogs. Maybe a couple of chill cats. It would be so cool if I could tame a fox like that woman who was on This Morning the other days. Foxes are basically cats inside little dog shells, they're so cool. And I want a wife...I think. Part of me would be happy living alone with nature and pets but then I get this niggle of desire for someone to wake up with and appreciate all that beautiful stuff with me every day.

But that life is just not gonna happen unless I find a way to make a shit ton of money to move out of my town and set up somewhere in the West Country or Surrey or Kent etc. For now I'm trapped in this tiny shitty town in the arse-end of Essex with almost no bus routes. Driving lessons have all ended in disaster, fucking dyspraxia I'm blaming you.

Gods, please, if you're going to trap me anywhere for the rest of my existence can it at least be somewhere better than this?!

What few friends I had have all gone off to Uni or abroad. One girl even asked if I wanted to go to Australia with her but the idea of working in a bar gives me chest pains. Plus the spiders! Sorry, little dudes, I love and respect you but I can't help but get the creeps! I keep up with what they're doing on MySpace and MSN but a lot of it depresses me to realise how stagnant my life is. Not only am I trapped but I'm also lonely as shit.

LOL. Jess just rested her head on my knee as I wrote that and gave me the biggest saddest labradoodle eyes. Of course I'm not totally alone, I've got my bestest girl. And my deities. Enough to keep me sane.

Speaking of mental health, gotta remember to make an appointment with my GP about these headaches. Mum blames the incense and reckons I'm dehydrated. Says the woman who smokes like a chimney and needs a glass of wine a day to get through the week.

Doing my Samhain rite later but first gonna take Scarlet out trick or treating. Her little witchy costume is so cute! I know the whole hat and warty nose stereotype is offensive to Wiccan culture but OMG she is adorbubble with her little plastic cauldron! Can't believe she's nearly three, she's growing up so fast. Even if I never get to be the cottage core mum I dream of, I can be the awesome witchy aunt.

A spell to attract friendship

Cleanse an empty bottle with incense. Fill with pink or white salt to protect from toxic relationships, cloves for friendship, cinnamon for happiness, lavender for calm, rose quartz and amethyst for healthy friendship, sugar for sweetness, a dandelion for loyalty, seal with yellow wax, carry in purse or pocket often - remember you need to leave your room to find those friends you seek.

I might have just discovered something really cool!

We're staying at my great uncle's house in Surrey for a couple of weeks to help him out while he's not well. Uncle Bob's always been a cool old dude, I wish he'd lived closer when I was growing up. Anyway he knows how into the supernatural I am and started telling me legends of this really old house literally just a twenty minute walk from where we're staying.

And when I say old I mean OLD. Like Henry VIII old, if not before that! He even has this book telling the history of it. Apparently the rich lady who lives there used to host tours but she's getting too old to do it now and has mostly become a recluse. There's all sorts of shit that went down in that house, some Tory prick who died in a sex scandal, ROFL, it was used for all sorts of soldier stuff during WWII, a bunch of rich folk whose names I still see dotted around the village lived there. Even before there was a house there were settlements were there were plague outbreaks and witch trials. Actual fucking WITCH TRIALS! I always wanted to visit Salem but screw it I got some history on my doorstep now.

And theres all sorts of ghost stories! Some dude who tried to kill Queen Elizabeth I got his head chopped odd and rumour is his headless body can be seen wandering the grounds. There's this famous 'Grey Lady' ghost who falls out the window screaming in the middle of the night. Some freaky creature like a wannabe Bigfoot roaming the woods.

I gotta go there. Sounds like it's buzzing with untapped magical energy. Just looking at the photo of the building, I feel like it's calling to me.

Honestly one of the coolest bits of history was there was said to be a stone circle which the house now stands on. Don't think I can get myself in there, even if I ask the old posh woman really really nicely. But there should be enough power around the site for me to call to.

Screw it. I'm sick of trying to find my own coven to do shit like this. I did a quick scope of the place while walking Jess and it doesn't look like she has much in the way of security. There's not even that high a fence around the wood. I can jump over that easy enough.

Gotta take the opportunity while I'm here. Uncle Bob might be being moved into residential care so chances of us coming back to this part of the county is slim.

Still got those mushrooms Derek's nephew gave me. Been really hesitant about taking them, I don't like doing drugs more than a little bit of weed and even that ends up making me paranoid and thinking the world hates me.

But he swore that if I wanted to properly see the gods, they were the best tool.

So tonight, I'm gonna sneak out and make my way up there, set up an altar and ground myself. It's gonna be like taking a bubble bath in pure magick! I got all that history and ancient energy as well as the full moon. Helped bake some cakes for Uncle Bob earlier and gonna take a few crumbs of the leftovers as offerings. Pan especially has such a sweet tooth.

This is the night I'm gonna take my life into my hands and summon everything I want. Love, friendship, freedom, excitement....oh and mustn't forget healing for these stupid migraines.

Jess keeps staring at me from the foot of my bed, whimpering for attention. Maybe she wants to play fetch. Maybe she wants to come with me. Should I take her? Hekate likes dogs so she might appreciate her there. And I am going into the dark woods all on my own. A lot of scary stuff has happened to young girls and women on the news lately. But they were children, I'm twenty next year! If I take Jess with me and she starts barking, it might wake the Button lady or her neighbours.

No, babygirl, best you stay here. It's gonna be boring for you watching me do my ritual high as a kite while I tie you to a tree. Once I'm back I'll sneak you up some chicken from the fridge.

It can be our little secret. ;) and I'll do a spell to make sure my best girl has plenty more years of treats and belly rubs to come.

So mote it fucking be.
