The unofficial translation of Gensou Narratograph is now available to download! (PDF only or .rar file with bonus assets)

I know no one ever actually looks at tumblr blogs, but I've made a basic page to hopefully collect information and links in the future.

An unofficial tabletop RPG published by Kadokawa. While the game as a whole is by no means "canon", it includes a full transcript of a game session with ZUN as one of the players, plus new character quotes and location descriptions written by ZUN, so it's worth checking out just for that alone.

Narratograph is largely boardgame-based, played with a selection of 30 characters gathering clues on a map of Gensokyo to progress through objectives and resolve the incident/kerfuffle of the week. However, it is still an RPG, with every scene being roleplayed and the incident also having a proper story to it. Narratively the game leans towards the light and feel-good end of Touhou fanworks, though I suppose it's up to you what you do with it. The book includes two prewritten adventures as examples, one of which I've run for a group to test it out.

It has pretty digestible mechanics, and a very unique danmaku combat system. To help with the number of sheets, figurines, tokens etc. needed, I've made public the Tabletop Simulator mod that I use to run the game myself, together with character figurines. You can use the assets included with the game to try and make it work in some other virtual tabletop of your choice. Or of course, you can also just print everything and play it live, if you can get a group together.

The rules have some quirks, and I'll try to figure out the best way to post my own notes and suggested houserules. As things stand, though, despite having nothing to do with the game officially, after putting a lot of work into it, I'm also curious to hear anyone's thoughts or experiences running it!

satoru loves yapping [to you]

satoru was always chatty, shoko could definitely attest to that statement, subjected to too many conversations she definitely did not care about.

“isn’t it hotter than usual? i swear last year it was colder around this time of year-” he began, continuing to talk as shoko tried to focus instead on healing an injured itadori in front of her.

it seemed that his chatty characteristic only amplified when you were around, his eyes would visibly brighten, practically gleaming when you appeared in his eyesight.

“sweetheart! how are you? staying cold in this heat?” you can help but smile at him, walking straight into his already outstretched arms and squeezing his waist a bit, pressing a soft peck to his cheek before pulling away.

“heat? it feels so good out today!” you sigh happily, waving yellow to shoko and itadori, “it is hotter than last year though I’ll tell you that,” satoru grins at your words, turning to shoko with a flint in his eyes before turning back to you.

“that’s what I said! global warming is getting too severe-” the two of you walking out hand in hand, the taller man still talking as you listened intently.

satoru never felt the need to be quiet around you, always finding things to talk about no matter the task or the hour.

“and so you would think that since they were doing so bad they would think of making changes right?” you nod along, humming so he knows you’re listening, “but no! they keep going with same stupid strategy and it’s so frustrating as a fan to see, i just want him to achieve his dreams,” he sighs sadly.

“can you pass the salt?” you ask, taking it from his much larger hand, thanking him before speaking up again, “why does he keep resigning if they always treat him so poorly?” you ask, satoru smiles, heart warming at the fact that you really do pay attention to him.

“he’s always wanted to win with Ferrari- let me take you back to the beginning” he begins, giving you a summary of charles leclerc’s life as you finish cooking dinner.

you could always tell when he got a bit insecure of how talkative he was, but you’d always smile at him, urging him to go on. “and then what? why’d you stop talking?” you’d say, making him smile widely before quietly starting again.

“I’m listening, angel boy,” you mumble in between dreams, listening to him talk about how orange juice isn’t the same as it was when he was growing up and how the new game he downloaded was more complicated than it seems.

it could be nearing 2 in the morning but you wouldn’t mind, satoru would be discussing how and why wombats have cube shaped poops and how koalas eat eucalyptus and pandas have half a brain cell they don’t bother to use.

“it has no real nutritional value and that’s why they have to eat so much of it,” he mumbles, eyes drooping as he cuddles closer to you.

“aren’t they made to digest meat?” you whisper, head tucked into the crook of his neck, your breath running a chill down his spine.

“think so, dunno” he mumbles back, breathing evening out before he’s fully asleep.

your eyes open slowly as you crane your neck, his pink lips slightly parted as he takes soft breaths, snowy hair pointing every which way.

you can’t help but smile at your lover.

“goodnight pretty boy” you whisper, pressing a soft kiss to his cheek, “my little yapper,” you chuckle to yourself, already looking forward to what he’d talk about tomorrow.

Ultimate reset day routine guide !

A reset day is ur opportunity to pause, recharge, and realign urself for the week ahead !

but ? what to do in a reset day ?

Morning foundation

⊂⊃ Wake up gently

⪩⪨ . Set a consistent wake-up time even on your reset day

⪩⪨ . Avoid immediately checking your phone I'm begging you

⪩⪨ . Take 5 deep breaths and set an intention for the day

⪩⪨ . Drink a full glass of water to hydrate your body

[ drinking a glass of water first thing in the morning especially warm water is more than just a wellness trend. My father who’s always been health-conscious used to emphasize this simple habit. He believed that the beneficial bacteria present in your mouth after a night of rest can play a healing role in your body. By drinking water before brushing your teeth, you allow these microbes to travel down your digestive tract, potentially supporting gut health and immunity. While this idea isn’t widely studied in modern medicine, it aligns with traditional holistic beliefs about preserving the body's natural microbiome. So before you reach for your toothbrush or eating consider starting your day with a warm glass of water it might be doing more for your health than u think ! ]

⊂⊃ Mindful morning ritual

⪩⪨ . Meditation or quiet reflection (10-20 minutes)

⪩⪨ . Journaling : write down thoughts, gratitudes, or goals

⪩⪨ . Light stretching or yoga to awaken your body ( I highly recommend hinafit on yt )

⪩⪨ . Healthy breakfast that nourishes rather than rushes because it's a reset day

Physical reset

⪩⪨ . Shower or bath with intention : use it as a transition ritual

⪩⪨ . Skincare routine : give yourself extra attention

⪩⪨ . Comfortable clothing that makes you feel good

Talmud Study Resources

This will hopefully be an ever growing list. If you have any Talmud study resources you like (online or in print), please send them to me and I’ll update accordingly!

The most important resource for study is community, so if you have a local synagogue, check if they have study group

Free Online Resources

Sefaria Mishnah — reading the Mishnah first can make the Gemara easier

Sefaria Talmud — the go-to free online translation. I believe it uses the Koren translation

Daf Yomi — daily image of the day’s daf with audio of it being read (not translated as far I can tell)

Hadran Courses — Absolutely top notch courses to give you the tools to study Talmud. Cannot recommend this enough.

New addition! Hebrewbooks.org — quality pdf scans of the Vilna Shas. Also advertises 64,962 classical Hebrew books available for free download

New addition! Mercava — tools for translation, marking up, and displaying pages of Talmud. Only displays the central column, Rashi, and the Tosafot, but Torah Or and Mesoret haShas can also be accessed and Rashi script can be changed to block

New addition! Jastrow — free, searchable version of Jastrow’s famous dictionary for Hebrew and Aramaic

Books

Your local Shul’s library probably has a copy of these or similar books! They are far from the only books on these topics

Reference Guide to the Talmud by Rabbi Steinsaltz

I love this book. It has the answers for almost every question a beginner could ask, from how a page of Talmud is laid out to the basics of Mishnaic Hebrew and Aramaic

The Practical Talmud Dictionary by Yitzhak Frank

Not a comprehensive dictionary of Mishnaic Hebrew and Aramaic in comparison to Jastrow’s work, but it has a lot and is simple to use

Grammar for Gemara & Targum Onkelos: An Introduction to Aramaic by Yitzhak Frank

Sister text to The Practical Talmud Dictionary. Good for beginners with at least some knowledge of Hebrew

Everyman’s Talmud by Abraham Cohen

Basic overview of topics covered in the Talmud. Very dense

The Essential Talmud by Rabbi Steinsaltz

More digestible than Cohen’s book, but not as comprehensive

A quickly doodled fan comic from @umbraldame featuring a thing from beyond A.K.A. "The Blanket" and her ability to absorb not only nutrition but information from the people she digests! That would be pretty handy for investigating a mystery, if you could get past the question of morality.

Shadow Work: prompts & explanations

~Assist your manifestations, shifting journey and relationship with yourself ♡

(Prompts are at the bottom of post.)

{ What is it? ☁️

The name eludes it to something mysterious and scary, but it is not. Shadow work is basically just self reflection. The practice of exploring the hidden and suppressed parts of yourself (the shadow.)

The goal is not to “fix” but to acknowledge and accept. By doing so you can achieve greater self awareness, emotional healing and personal growth.

This process leads to a more authentic, balanced and empowered version of yourself, as it allows you to confront and release these limiting beliefs, patterns, trauma and unresolved pain.

{ How does it help me shift and manifest? 🪐

*** Shadow work is not needed to shift realities or manifest. It's simply a tool there for you to use if you're interested.

But I believe it can help with release limiting beliefs, patterns, trauma and unresolved pain you have related to shifting. Maybe you have the belief that you could never shift. Or that manifestation could take you months to see desires.

Chances are you’ve spent some time on shiftok and downloaded a lot of misinformation. With shadow work you can construct your own beliefs that serve you, cause all you need to shift is yourself—and you might hear that all the time. Doing this work can help you finally believe it.

Knowing your true needs brings the best motivation, I’ve found.

{ How to do it? 📓

*** Please ensure you’re in a somewhat stable mindset and safe environment to fully digest any confrontational feelings and trauma.

1. Get something to write with,

2. Ask yourself personal questions, write about what’s been bothering you and ask ‘why?’ repeatedly. Or look up prompts,

3. Don’t lie to yourself, it only sets you back. No one sees this but yourself. That’s it.

** There’ll be some tough questions to answer and that’s okay, come back to it later.

** Do as many questions as you’re comfortable with. You’ll feel the weight of them as you answer honestly to yourself.

{ Prompts : 🖋️

What emotions eriss when you think about shifting?

Did you neglect this reality when you found out about shifting?

Have you ever forgotten or left shifting? What did your life look like?

Everything that happens in this reality has the possibility to happen in another. What is something you’re anxious of possibly live through again?

What lessons might your current reality be teaching you?

Would you rather face the same problems you face here, in another reality? Is anything easier?

Does your amount of scripting reflect your need for control?

Do anti shifters demotive you? Why does what they say get to you?

What do you feel after not shifting? Faith, frustration?

At what point do you attempt to shift the most?

Do you keep track of how long you haven’t shifted for?

Do you care to know the scientific reasoning for shifting? Does it feel more real to have that explanation?

Do you script traumatic events you haven’t been through here? What do it for for you to live through them or have them as memories?

What insecurities about yourself could resurface in your dr?

How do you feel when someone shares their successful shifting story?

How does the fear of the unknown effect your shifting experience?

Do you view not shifting to your dr as a failure or step closer?

Do you believe shifting is harder for you than it is for others? What actions fuel this belief?

How do you treat yourself when you don’t shift?

If you plan on permsshifting, what is something that could bring you back to your cr?

When do you think you should take a shifting break?

Has your script turned more into a fanfiction rather than something to actually live through?

Pick a reality; what are the pros and cons of shifting there?

Pick a reality; what are you scared of happening?

I AM IN LOVE WITH YOUR MEGATRON STORY!!! I have even downloaded it and saved it to my kindle! I love me a complex man <3 i know you see him as unintentionally creepy, but i wonder how he would be affectionate once he is in a relationship? on a personal note one of my courtship rituals that i'm doing with my to be partners is "book reports" essentially book club but written, I like know what poeple think about things. What would he do when presented with such a proposition? Sorry this is a chunky anon but I have slowly fallen in love with megs <3

Thank you so much that means everything to me oh my gosh.

I'm glad so many people are liking this version of Megatron

As for affection, once he’s in a relationship, I think Megatron would express it not through touch, not right away. but through attention.

Your courtship ritual, writing reports on books and sharing perspectives, that’s something I think would leave him genuinely moved. When presented with a reading list, he defaults to what comes naturally to him: analysis, scrutiny, reflection. His reports (essays really), wouldn’t just be summaries; they’d be his attempt to meet you on your terms, digest the information to understand your world. 

You’d notice he struggles with human concepts such as relationships, family, and belonging. He knows them intellectually, but not intuitively. So these essays would double as concealed cries: Help me understand this. Help me feel what you feel when you read it. He would never phrase it that directly.

Though he’s a reserved type of mech, stoic by habit and design. There’s something about the book reports that causes him to slip into a new way of thinking about affection and love. He starts to understand affection not just as concept, but as practice. He begins to imagine what it might look like to enact the things he reads about. 

The way a character steadies someone with a hand at the back. The way people touch to reassure and to show they’re listening. He ruminates on these actions, he picks up on when others in the room display casual affection. Constantly fantasizing about how you would react to that kind of attention. It intrigues and frightens him in equal measure, 

He begins to rehearse these things privately. Considers what it would take to reach out, to place a hand against your back, to let you lean into him. These simple gestures carry more weight than he knows how to measure. Public affection would be impossible, absolutely not with this rumor mongering crew.. But in private moments, he’d learn. Slowly.

When you offer your love, fingers at his jaw, your head resting against his chest—he accepts it with reverence. And afterward, he thinks about it for hours. Not because he doubts it, but because he’s trying to understand why it mattered. And how to do it again.

As things deepen, he surprises you. Once affection crosses into hunger, he doesn’t ration it. He kisses like it’s the only language he still remembers. Long, deliberate, all-consuming. One hand behind your back, the other braced against the wall, or the desk, or the nearest surface that can hold the weight of him. He gets caught in it,forgetting the time, forgetting restraint, until your lips are swollen and your knees are unsteady and you have to pull back just to breathe. And even then, he follows, chasing your mouth like its all he has left to hold on to 

He doesn’t mean to lose himself. But when he loves, he loves with his whole body. And when he’s allowed to touch, he doesn’t know how to stop.

It’s designed to be quick and easy to digest, with simple explanations, fun visuals, and even a few jokes to keep things light. It’s perfect for those who are questioning or want to share a clear, accessible intro to these identities with others.

Available now as a downloadable PDF for $5.00. Note: This is the digital version—physical copies are available through Microcosm Publishing if you want the full printed experience!

I hope this zine can help spark understanding, share a few laughs, and support the ace and aro communities in the process.

Resources for Luciferians

Firstly, my asks are always open and you can search through my blog. The #information tag is full of info. My number one recommendation is to go on the r/DemonolatryPractices subreddit search bar and type key words for any questions you may have:

https://www.reddit.com/r/DemonolatryPractices/s/ulXKba2pO5

I made a post with a list of communities you can join. Each community has its own resources you may find helpful:

TikTok is full of a lot of misinformation surrounding demonolatry, but my personal favorite account on the subject is MadameFortune. I don’t agree with all of her gnosis, but she’s got some fantastic information and cites her sources. Her Geography of Hell series is my favorite: Edit: Apparently she scammed people so DO NOT send her money

Dancing Corpse Witch is a blog that I like. It has good information and experiences that line up with what I’ve experienced:

They also have an Instagram where they post channeled messages from the infernal divine on their stories:

As for informative blogs here on Tumblr, these are my top three picks:

@astra-ravana

@thrashkink-coven

@siren-sovereign

(@lichtluxx also has a great digital grimoire)

Texts

These are just what I’ve read so far. I know there’s much more out there. I’ll get to them… eventually Edit: I would like to add Apotheosis and Bible of the Adversary both by Michael W. Ford, but it appears Tumblr won’t let me add more links here Edit 2: I’d also add The Psychonaut Field Manual by BlueFluke. It is free on the Internet Archive. I think it’s a great resource for beginners in covering overall occult practices. It introduces concepts in an easily digestible format.

The Lesser Key of Solomon:

The Complete Book of Demonolatry by S. Connolly:

Demonolater’s Handbook by Mirta Wake:

A Luciferian's View Deity Work and Ideas for Diversifying Your Practice by Mirta Wake:

Lucifer: Princeps by Peter Grey:

Rites of Lucifer by Temple of Ascending Flame:

The Diabolicon by Michael Aquino:

For historical literature, which can provide great context, I recommend Paradise Lost by John Milton, Dante’s Inferno, and Goethe’s Faust. These are all free on Apple Books and can probably be found at any public library.

any chance of something whump-like for IDOAG? (inspired by me being SO brave and working on a grant report until very late at night)

congrats on yr bravery!

(to review, this ficlet is out of gratitude for my pilot of a musical audio drama about a rock band that secretly solves monster-related problems reaching 30% of its funding goal. we're actually at over 50% right now and i have one prompt in the wings but i'll need another today, so if there's anything you want to see, throw me an ask!)

October

By the time he hits “Print” on the co-op computer in the common room, Grantaire’s vision is going softly gray at the edges, and his stomach roils at the thought of coffee or breakfast.

“Jesus Christ,” mutters Grantaire.

“What’s the matter?” says Jehan, materializing at Grantaire’s elbow. Well, probably Jehan had walked there; that sounds like something Jehan would do. Grantaire’s awareness is coming in ungainly lurches, like a poorly animated cartoon brontosaurus.

The printer chugs away, slowly spitting out the first page of the history essay Grantaire had started five hours ago. It is now 8 a.m. The paper is warm to the touch, in a way that makes Grantaire think of food again. His intestines clench.

“My dumbass body,” says Grantaire at last.

“Ah,” says Jehan. “When they figure out a way to download our consciousnesses into Terminator-style robots without physical weakness or flaw, I will be first in line.” A pause, and then, charitably, “You can be second, if you’d like.”

“Cool,” mutters Grantaire. He sways a little on the desk chair. The printer is only on page two.

“Hey, Jehan,” someone says. Grantaire swivels towards the door and immediately regrets it. His brain takes another few unsteady seconds to catch up with his body, and that’s when he sees Enjolras and Combeferre standing together, bright-eyed and perfect in the early morning light. They’re both wearing sweaters, and holding reusable coffee cups. They look like an advertisement for L.L. Bean, for the very concept of being a cute gay couple in Autumn. Grantaire feels like a bridge troll.

“Hey, Grantaire,” Combeferre adds. “Are you okay?”

The printer belches out what sounds like page three.

Last year, Grantaire had a system for writing papers like this. The system involved doing a shot for every page he finished. If he was really stuck, every paragraph. Obviously, this is not an option at Amis House, and so Grantaire had compromised, made sleep deprivation his drug of choice. It had seemed like a good idea at 3 a.m.—a phrase so forlorn it could be a country song, he thinks, scratching the back of his neck as the printer shudders and churns. He needs a shower.

“Why are printers absolute, uh, hot garbage?” he says out loud.

Enjolras opens his mouth, then closes it.

“I read an article about this,” says Combeferre. “The conclusions were complicated. I can send it to you?”

It’s such a perfectly kind and normal response, Grantaire could cry. He blinks hard. The printer finally regurgitates the final page of his essay.

“Yeah,” he manages, “sure, that would be great. Sorry, I’ve gotta run.”

Grantaire gathers the papers, checks to make sure they’re in the right order, and staples them together. Ka-chunk. The stapler is impossibly loud.

“There’s ginger tea bags in the kitchen,” Jehan offers quietly, and Grantaire nods because it’s easier than explaining that the problem isn’t his digestive system, it’s his entire being. He needs someone to wipe down the surface of his eyes, take a squeegee to his brain. He needs his soul dunked in warm sudsy water and then wrung out to dry. That would fix him, he thinks.

It’s too bad he’s not holding onto his thoughts very clearly, because he’s pretty sure there’s another country song in there somewhere. He snorts.

“I can make you some tea to go if you’d like,” says Combeferre, and it’s too much, it’s too warm, it’s too close to what Grantaire doesn’t even let himself think about wanting.

“That’s okay,” says Grantaire. “See you.” And he books it out of the room before he can get a glimpse of the pity on Combeferre’s handsome face.

Feel free to download this artwork here. I'm trying to get the ball rolling on my art shops, so downloads would help me a lot!

today, I have had the rare privilege of observing a creature soaring above the rocky cliffs

the creature has body covered in a thick coat of fur. The fur is predominantly a soft white with hints of blues that shimmer under sunlight. Two prominent horns extend from its head. The tail is bushy, ending in a tuft, further enhancing its aerial camouflage

the creature is active during the day. It seems to float rather than walk, hovering just above the ground, which might be facilitated by some form of innate anti-gravitational ability.  Its movement consists of a series of light, springy jumps, with the fur around its body rippling as if it were gliding on invisible currents. Feeding habits suggest a diet consisting mainly of high-altitude grasses and hardy shrubs; I observed it delicately plucking at vegetation with a surprising nimbleness

at dawn, the creature emerges from small caves where it likely rests through the night. It spends a considerable portion of the day grazing with periods of rest atop elevated rocks or ledges. During these times, it engages in what appears to be a form of sunbathing, lying belly-up to the sky, possibly absorbing warmth or utilizing sunlight in some metabolic process. As dusk approaches, the creature retreats to its resting place, often accompanied by a low, melodic humming sound that reverberates through the rocks—a behavior whose purpose remains unclear

the creature is largely solitary; however, it occasionally interacts briefly with others of its kind. These interactions are somewhat awkward, marked by a series of intricate head tilts and tail flicks, which might be a form of non-verbal communication or a basic greeting. There doesn’t seem to be any clear social hierarchy or territorial disputes—each individual seems satisfied within its own space, coexisting with minimal conflict

given its herbivorous diet and gentle nature, the creature seems to occupy a niche as a low-level consumer, contributing to the control of mountain vegetation. Its droppings, which are rich in partially digested plant matter, may also play a crucial role in fertilization of high-altitude plants, which normally don’t have enough nutrients to sustain themselves

locals regard the creature with a mix of reverence and caution. It is believed to bring good fortune to those who witness its fog dance but is also thought to be a harbinger of storms when sighted in groups. Locals embellish these creatures with amber and amethyst. They believe this to be a way of gaining favor with the wind and sky gods. The creatures don’t seem to care

in addition to its apparent ability to hover, the creature exhibits a form of rudimentary telekinesis, capable of manipulating small objects or moving pebbles, possibly to access roots or disturb insects for feeding. This ability is subtle and seems to be used sparingly, suggesting it is either energetically taxing or reserved for specific needs

the thick, insulating fur protects the creature from the harsh mountain winds. Its unique ability to float likely evolved to navigate the treacherous terrain without expending the energy required for more conventional forms of locomotion

End of entry.
