#how to remove voodoo curse

[animeshotsh]

Its your soul Dear~ | Alastor x Reader

Warning: Yandere!Alastor - Mentions of cannibal Alastor + Mentions of eating reader - Alastor its so mean in this - He is crazy for reader and not in love - Manipulative!Alastor - Maybe a part 2 - OFF CANON EVENTS AND OFF CANON IN TERMS OF TIME - grammar mistakes -

Alastor knows he is not in love with you, he knows his self cant love, cant feel that pathetic feeling.

But once a hunter then forever one. Thats s fact, when you found yourself in hell Alastor was the first to smell you. He was inside the Hotel when his sense went alert, ears high and eyes demonic. He soon sent his minions to look for you.

Did he want to eat you? He was not sure, he felt the need to own you.

Sonner than later he found you, you were so weak, he saved you from almost getting robbed and thats its the slightest problem you could have in hell.

However, Alastor knew how to play, he knew he had a centrain charm and you being new in hell would not know about him, how dangerous he was.

He covered his true intentions well, first guiding you to the Hotel where Charlie was extatic to meet you and give you a room. He showed you places in hell that where not so dangerous. He left one shadow of his to follow you around.

The only one who saw what he was doing was Husk. Who in his own way tried to warn you but was silenced by Alastor himself. He decided to step aside after that.

If something Alastor liked doing was playing with his meal. He made you trust him so much, whatever he said you ate it without a second tought. He would tell you to jump and you would ask how high. He made you depend on him, for whatever and small thing, following and asisting him like a good pet.

Alastor could still teast your soul, it gave off the most delicious smell a cannibal like him would feel, but he also felt the sweet smell and soft self of it. Showing that you were in hell by a low sin you had made.

He never cared, he wanted you. Wanted to take your neck in his hands and chocke the life out of you, see your eyes go dull, then he would devour you, maybe he would start with your chest, opening up and taking your heart in his hands. He then will go after your lungs. Oh, how he desired to be all messy with your blood.

But one meal and one second of teast would be the same as this? Having you by his side? Never leaving him? He knew you would end being something others could use against him, thats why he decided to make a few fixes to it.

First, he needed you to have some power, and heavens did he found it. His voodoo magic was perfect. He tried it, first cursing you then using a doll....he removed your arm and your own body lose it too. Then he made it be back and soon you were all made as new.

Does this mean he could devour you multiple times?

He just needed to have your soul. And he being as manipulative as he was did it. First he made a plan, you would end lost and he would tear your limbs apart, then he would appear faking saving you and proposing you a deal that would make you think if favors you.

Of course it did not.

"Your soul my dear, in exchange for my protection, no one will ever hurt you again, no one will even think on getting close to you"

Because only I can make you suffer and scream, only i can have you.

The explosion of green was the final. Alastor owned you, soul and body. He decided to kept his charming way but could not help and find himself festing over you. He made sure to put you back again and even trear your injuries.

It affected you badly, the one you tought was your friend ended being a cannibal and killer, and no one wanted to help you.

You had dig your own grave.

Whenever he went, you did as well, when he was hungry you were there to snack from. He never once hitted you or mocked you, he mostly treated you as a dumb pet.

His dumb pet.

And by heavens, you were his favorite. He would exchange thousands of souls just for you.

Because your screams and tears were the best he had ever tried.

He knows he was once a hunter, reduced to this look...the one of a deer, the shame he must carry. Maybe thats why he always smiles and has forced himself to be even more dangerous and mysterious.

Alastor could have been Native American

Before anyone screams racism, removal of representation, or whatever I redirect you to my post about the Voodoo representation of the show.

→ HERE ←

First thing first, Alastor is not a Wendigo but his cannibalism aspect led to fans believing the contrary, a belief that was pushed further with him being a deer. Wendigoes aren’t related to deer at all, they mostly look like men who are visibly starved and all. The deer thing came from pop culture.

Now you’re gonna ask..

“You’re all for representing properly religion and culture why would you want him to be American Indian if he’s not a proper wendigo?”

He could be a skinwalker with small elements of wendigo.

Here’s a small rewrite

It’s not related to Hell’s Safe Haven, I’ll be doing something different, feel free to take the idea for your oc if you want. But remember, Always do research :)

Why a skinwalker? They are shamans who started as healers but broke taboos from the culture which involve using their ability for harm and curses. If you’re smart then you should see where I’m going with this.

Rather than being an “evil voodoo man” Alastor could have been a shaman who transgressed important rules and became a skinwalker, one of these taboos is murdering a close relative to align with darker powers which pretty much fits for Alastor. Obliviously, you don’t villainize the whole culture, you can still show that shamanism, when not perverted by skinwalkers, can do good. Alastor’s mother could have also been a shaman and went to Heaven.

He could still have been a serial killer, stalking and learning the routine of his victims before killing them. Then he could have died in the snow because hunters noticed his activities in the forest, thanks to their dogs smelling the putrid flesh of the bodies he was carrying around, and then he got shot. Or you can have it that he managed to escape but got lost and had to eat part of the corpse he managed to get with him, but he also had to use their skin to not try and protect himself from the cold in vain partially linking him to Wendigoes.

In Hell, he could have looked like a starved disturbing-looking deer, starved because of wendigos and deer because that’s the animals he favored the most to lure people. In terms of powers, he could have the ability to reproduce people's voices through electronics mainly using radios to do so. A cool detail could be that these voices sound slightly disturbing and fake.

He completely took a more charming and refined aesthetic once in Hell to appeal to and manipulate others more easily. Skinwalkers are described as carrying bones I guess that could help for a possible redesign. Since his appearance is quite scary he could wear a hat to hide his face.

The actual critic

This is really a surface-level thing, it's a first draft based on Wikipedia, but you can’t say that it’s not remotely much more cohesive than whatever Viv is doing with Alastor.

This is something that absolutely frustrates me with the Hellaverse, Viv has very surface-level concepts, and she doesn't do enough research to bring them to their potential. It happens with Voodoo, the Goetia, the Seven Deadly Sins, and the whole pantheon of biblical figures.

What she does is she takes these cool ideas and slaps them onto her oc without much thought.

Take an example with Andrealphus, he teaches math and geometry so one of my first thought is to give me space manipulation. This means he can basically change your location in an enclosed space, turn an entire room around, and twist it to his liking. With his knowledge of maths and geometry, he knows what to do specifically to make you land exactly where he wants which makes him extremely hard to fight inside a house, especially if it’s a big place.

He could also completely reshape the laws of geometry and physics, how funny would it be to see that he lives in a small house, not taking much place but then you go outside and discover it’s basically a whole castle? It’s generic but it makes sense and makes places for lots of interesting scenes for fights or just aesthetics.

Vivziepop chose to give him ice power, for some reason. I mean math isn’t really an attractive notion in terms of supernatural abilities but you can still do something interesting with it. Unless his castle is a geometrical wet dream, I don’t see a possible link between the two. It’s a matter of creativity and the willingness to do research to cultivate it, she doesn't have that.

If you just slap very specific labels (like voodoos) on a character without thinking about how it could work for them and affect the world around them (if voodoo works then the Lwas exists), then not only you are not doing your “job” as a writer but you are just doing it for the aesthetic. It’s not wrong to do if it’s mundane things like saying that one character knows how to speak Latin, but in some cases, you gonna have to be careful about what you write in your stories.

THIS is an @atbussysparks side blog. I will be attempting to re-write bride of discord (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)⁠✧⁠*⁠。

Rights to the original property belongs to DisneyFanatic2364, the author of bride of discord, daughter of discord, and any other spin-off. This blog was not made to try and one-up the original, but to show love and appreciation for the original fanfiction that touched the hearts of people around the world. (⁠*⁠˘⁠︶⁠˘⁠*⁠)⁠.⁠｡⁠*🩷

The original blog @brideofdiscord-rewritten an entirely separate acc bc I didn't know how to make a side blog back then 😅 but that's also me!!! I can't log into that acc now

Let's lay down some ground rules!

꒰⁠⑅⁠ᵕ⁠༚⁠ᵕ⁠꒱⁠˖⁠♡❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🤎🖤🩶🤍🩷

If you're a younger child (younger than 14) please blacklist the announcement/update tags! I use foul language, and though you might use it yourself or hear it every day, I ain't tryin to get sued

The story itself is SFW and will not contain any more than subtle pg-13 jokes and light drinking (imo daiquiris don't count lol)

All celebrities, movies, songs, books, and other real life media names will be changed into bad horse puns.

I will omit some ridiculous examples of discord being emotionally or mentally abusive past the point in which he has fully developed as a good character. Instead he will face consequences.

Some characters will be queer or LGBTQ+ but no references will be made to their sexuality. Only romance.

The last bullet point goes for the straight relationships as well!!

I have a playlist for the story on Spotify named "Bride of Discord rewritten (fluttercord)

Voodoo and hoodoo will be shown in a respectful and realistic manner, and I will attempt to show Zecora in a non-stereotypical manner.

Spike will still have a crush on rarity, but spike being a romantic interest for adult ponies, or having his feelings reciprocated in any way will be removed from the story.

I will attempt to keep an early 2010s feel and humor, but there're also so many american exclusive jokes and media references from past that time to make

If this were turned into an audio drama (nudge nudge wink wink) I would love to voice characters or draw for the video

Topics such as death should be handled with care and emotions. It is okay to say stuff related to dying.

Only mild cursing is allowed (darn, dang, shoot, heck, hell, butt, ass, ((but only thrice,)) etc.)

Obviously this isn't being policed but

DNI ಠಿ⁠_⁠ಠಿ ಠ⁠,⁠_⁠｣⁠ಠ

"Proshippers" (degenerates who get off to illegal and morally corrupt relationships)/zoophiles/bigots of any sort (homophobic, transphobic, xenophobic, racist, ableist, ect.)/ Radfems/anti-punks/people who don't like hopecore (I'm not joking)

Ask me questions! (⁠◕⁠ᴗ⁠◕⁠✿⁠)(⁠ﾉ⁠◕⁠ヮ⁠◕⁠)⁠ﾉ⁠*⁠.⁠✧

I will happily answer almost any questions, and I love getting them! To keep anonymity I won't answer personal questions but I'll answer anything (⁠.⁠ ⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠)

Horror movie tropes that aren't as old as you may think

Vampires burning in the sun. The very first time vampires burned in the sun in fiction was in the 1922 German expressionist film, Nosferatu. Even the 1931 Dracula never said he would die via sunlight however the sequels to the 1931 Dracula movie did start using the idea that vampires would die in sunlight even though the Dracula novel and Carmilla novels had the vampires walk about by day but they were just weaker and could not shapeshift by day.

2. The first time werewolves changed during the full moon in media was in The Wolfman franchise started in 1941. In most folklore werewolves could transform at will. They were just more likely to be more wolf-like and wild on the full moon.

3. Werewolves in traditional folklore took on actual wolf form. The bipedal man-wolf was popularized from the 1941 Wolfman movie.

4. The first time zombies were NOT under a Haitian Voodoo Curse was in the 1968 film Night of the Living Dead. This was also the first Zombie Apocalypse movie.

5. The first time Zombies ate brains and the zombism was portrayed as a spreadable condition was in the 1985 film Return of The Living Dead.

6. "Vampires die from drinking dead Blood." this one started as a misunderstanding of a line from the novel Interview with the vampire. "You must stop before the heart stops lest the death takes you down with it." In the sequel novel The Vampire Lestat you learn that drinking dead blood won't actually kill a vampire, just make him really dizzy. Lestat describes it as a rolling delirium. No vampire in the world of Anne Rice actually dies from drinking dead blood and yet after the film adaptation of Interview with The Vampire (1994) suddenly you started to see the "Drinking dead blood will kill a vampire." everywhere. From The Queen of The Damned (2002) to the TV show Supernatural.

7. Vampires not showing up on camera. Vampires not showing up in mirrors dates back to the 1897 Dracula novel by Bram Stoker and may have its origin with some old Irish Ghost stories but the idea that vampires don't show up on camera is more recent and started in Hollywood.

8. Frankenstein's Monster on Mary Shelley's 1818 novel was intelligent, literate, and articulate within two years of his creation. Yet thanks to the 1931 film starring Boris Karloff most people think of the Frankenstein monster as having a flat head (he did not have a flat head in the novel, in fact he had long black hair), is child-like (He was actually very well-spoken once he learned how to talk in the novel), and he did not have bolts (or electrodes) in his neck int the novel. All of those things come from the 1931 movie Frankenstein.

Even the notion that the moral was not to play God mostly comes from the 1931 film and it kind of diminishes the accountability of those who mistreated The Creature. Also Victor Frankenstein (in the novel) wasn't even a doctor. He was a student of Metaphysics and he never graduated.

9. The Frankenstein monster being afraid of fire started with the 1931 Frankenstein movie. Bride of Frankenstein is where you first hear him exclaim "FIRE BAD!"

10. The 1943 film Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman is where we first get the idea of the Frankenstein monster walking around with his arms out stretched and stiff. This is actually because the film was heavily edited after test audiences who hadn't seen the previous film (Ghost of Frankenstein) were confused as to why the Frankenstein monster now spoke like Bela Lugosi's Ygor and was blind. Most didn't realize it was now Ygor in the body of The Creature. All scenes of The Creature talking were removed as well as reference to him being blinded. But him walking around with his arms out stretched because of the blindness were left in and so started the notion of The Frankenstein monster walking around stiff with his arms out stretched.

11. Igor the hunchbacked assistant didn't exist until the comedy Young Frankenstein. The Ygor of the Universal Monster movies had a twisted neck (not a hunchback) from a botched hanging attempt. He was played by Bela Lugosi in Son of Frankenstein and Ghost of Frankenstein. Dracula's assistant (who wasn't hunchbacked) was the bug eating mad man, Renfield. And Frankenstein's hunchbacked assistant was Fritz (ironically played by Dwight Frye, who was also Renfield). Dr. Niemann (Boris Karloff) in House of Frankenstein had a hunchbacked assistant named Daniel. And of course there was Quasimodo in The Hunchback of NotrDame. It was the Zeitgeist combining of all these characters that created the Igor trope now popular in comedies and films like Van Helsing (2004).

12. The Warrens were infamous con artists known in paranromal research communities as charlatans who knew how to tell a good story but after several books, TV movies, and then the Conjuring franchise, the zeitgeist notion of them is paranormal heroes instead of carnival-style con artists who charged admission to look at a Raggedy Ann Doll they kept in a glass case.

13. Annabelle was actually a Raggedy Ann doll, not a wooden doll. The version we're used to now started with the Conjuring film franchise.

14. Until the 1973 film The Exorcist you didn't hear that many "Ouija boards invite demons into your house!" stories. Or "I heard from a friend who heard from a friend..." Most legitimate paranormal researchers will tell you that the majority of ghostly encounters with the Ouija board are the result of something called the Ideomotor effect but because of what our pop culture has taught us, almost everyone now thinks of them as demon invocation devices and the subconscious convinces them that they are interacting with demons. Try to find a "the board summoned a demon" story from before 1973's The Exorcist movie or the Exorcist book. You won't find it.

15. An odd one is the Pentacle. The pentacle (five pointed star in a circle) is an old protection ward AGAINST evil that dates back to Ancient Greece and later used by Neo Pagans and Wiccans. in The Wolfman franchise the pentacle could warn you who the werewolf is, show who the next victim is likely to be, and even prevent the werewolf transformation if worn as a talisman.

The idea that it is something sinister and Evil has no roots in reality or even its first cinematic depictions. It was used as protection against werewolves as recently as An American Werewolf in London in 1981 (That was a free floating pentacle outside of the circle). It was even a protection symbol in Sleepy Hollow (1999 movie).

16. This one is debatable. There are people who claim that the idea of ghosts being translucent was the result of the Pepper's Ghost stage effect created in 1862, which used a pain of glass and a reflection to create the illusion of a ghost on stage for plays. The same effect is used today for Disney's Haunted Manion ride. However I am pretty sure that ghosts being described as whispy or cloud-like could indicate that translucent ghost descriptions do pre-date the Pepper's Ghost effect.

17. The first killer doll was in a 1960s episode of The Twilight Zone. Her name was Talky Tina.

18. The first blatantly possessed killer doll was Chucky in Child's Play (1988).

19. The idea of Dracula walking around in a tuxedo and cape started with Bela Lugosi's Dracula in 1931. If we went by the novels the Frankenstein Monster was the one more likely to wear a cape.

20. The idea that vampires and werewolves hate each other is a Hollywood invention mostly popularized by The Underworld franchise though it was depicted earlier in Tales from the Crypt. Dracula, in his novel, actually loved wolves and could turn into a wolf himself. This is described in the 1931 Dracula movie but his transformation into a wolf happens off camera and so is often forgotten.

21. Van Helsing as an action hero may have its roots with Peter Cushing in Hammer's Dracula franchise where Dracula kept coming back like a modern serial killer but this notion was mostly the result of Hugh Jackman's Van Helsing in 2004. Until then Dr. Van Helsing was usually an old man who beat Dracula using his intellect and knowledge of Dracula's weaknesses. "You are a wise man, Van Helsing, for one who has not yet lived even a single lifetime."

22. The sexy fem vampire hunter is mostly the result of Buffy The Vampire Slayer but you also see it in Van Helsing and Syfy's Vanessa Helsing. For once I'd like to see a woman vampire hunter dressed like Peter Vincent, and not a sexy variation on Peter Vincent's costume either.

Chapter 70

Third POV

The white room has been anything but eventful. Jeff hasn't been keeping Eboni updated on the time nor the days, not that it bothered her too much. What did irk her were the smudges of lipstick over his face and near his lips and neck. She almost lost her cool the first time he came to visit her without even bothering to wash the shit off.

But she's glad he didn't. The smiling killer would come straight to Eboni every single time Nina made a move on him. He wants nothing more than to snap that bitch's neck, but he doesn't for Eboni's sake. Slenderman's warning is still lingering in the back of his head along with Zalgo's curse. Quite frankly he can't wait for this new years party at the end of the month. A perfect excuse to finally get completely wasted.

When Jeff first arrived at the mansion, it became apparent how often he would drink. Some would call him a alcoholic while others would say the poor idiot is just drinking his problems away. Both parties would be correct. The killer had freedom to do whatever he wanted, kill whoever he wanted - but thanks to his huge ego, he made that stupid bet with Slenderman.

Jeff tried too many methods to end the creatures' life - going as far as to use voodoo, nothing worked, of course. So he's to continue living in this hell hole, and Jeff would be damned if he's forced to live this life without Eboni by his side. She's the only one making his time at the mansion worthwhile now. Sure, EJ & BEN make for good company- but he can only tolerate their presence for so long.

He moves in front of her, slumping to the ground, and crosses his legs. He lays his head on her lap, sighing heavily. Eboni giggles, beginning to run her fingers through his hair. Her touch is enough to calm his raging nerves. After the third week of the month, thanks to her good behavior, Slenderman allowed Jeff to remove her restraints.

The second week was hell for her. It was the week of her period. During that week, Jeff became the most tenderhearted she's ever seen him be. He would carefully wash her up, change her tampons as best as he could, give her painkillers EJ would offer him, sneak in a heating pan that could wrap around her waist and is battery powered, and a silicon ice pack to rest on the back of her neck so her body wouldn't overheat.

That time became a moment, and the two grew significantly closer. Eboni never thought Jeff would care so much, neither did he. He just so happened to never be around when she's on, so for him to witness her sobbing her eyes out at the unbearable pain of cramps - it made him want to go above and beyond to make her time on her period as smoothly as possible while still in the white room.

Several people witnessed this, of course, a few being Helen - also known as Bloody Painter - Nina, BEN, Sally, and both Jacks, and even Slenderman. Most found them to be heartwarming, witnessing a different side of Jeff became a breath of fresh air. But others, Nina, only grew to hate Eboni more, which increased her advances on Jeff.

"What did she do this time?" Eboni questions calmly.

"I was playing street fighters with BEN, just minding my fucking business, and that bitch jumped on my lap and started kissing all over me!" He shouts, groaning inwardly as his body tenses.

"So what did you do?" She questions, still running her fingers through his hair.

"I picked her ass up and threw her on the TV. I was so close to winning, too."

The girl laughs, shaking her head. "Let's be real. You were losing. No one can beat BEN in street fighters, not even me."

Jeff grumbles curses, not bothering to state whether Eboni is right or not - she is right, though. He lifts his head up, resting his chin on her knee. "I just want that bitch to drop dead already!"

"You and me both... but don't worry, I'll handle her once I'm out." Eboni smirks, mischief in her eyes.

Jeff grins, "So what's the plan?"

"Let's keep it under wraps. I rather not be forced to stay here any longer. Anyways...speaking of wanting bitches to drop dead - what's up with Taylor & Masky?"

The smiling killer laughs loudly, shaking his head. "Man. What isn't up with them!? Those fuckers bitch about eeeeeverything! It's so annoying. I swear princess, that trailer park trash wants to be you soooooo bad!"

"How so?" Eboni questions.

"She's seriously changing how she talks, even how she dresses! She's trying so hard to be the center of attention when no one gives a shit about her, except for Jane, Clockwork, and Nina."

"Of course...." Eboni rolls her eyes. "Trash sticks with trash after all."

"Damn right. Also, I think Masky is Taylor's bitch."

Eboni raises a brow, tilting her head. "What makes you say that?"

"A few night ago, I got up to get some water- and as I'm walking back to my room, the fucker comes out of her room limping down the fucking stairs with a spent look on his face! His brains were so fucked out he didn't even know I was there! I had to run to my room to laugh my ass off." Jeff exclaims, laughing loudly.

Eboni breaks out into a fit of laughter as well. Don't get her wrong, she doesn't care that Masky enjoys taking it up the ass - but it's the fact he tries so hard to appear in control when in reality he's just as submissive, maybe even worse.

"Well, isn't that something."

"Yeah. What a odd fucking dynamic." Jeff shrugs, resting his head back against Eboni's lap.

He could really go for a nap, but that is interrupted by the door to the white room opening. Slenderman looks at the two, a shadow of his face showing his eyebrow raised if he had any - but then flattens into a neutral expression.

"Jeff. You're needed to help set the decorations for the New years event."

"Don't you got taller fuckers to do that? Like laughing Jack or candy pop? Maybe even Jason?"

"They're out on missions. You, BEN, and Kate can handle it. Now come." Slenderman explains, leaving no room for discussion.

The smiling killer grumbles more curses as he stands, leaning down to steal a quick kiss from his girl. "Behave."

"Yes, Jeff." She smiles, watching him leave. Once he's gone, the girl frowns at the fact that Slenderman is still there.

"I believe it's about time we have a civilized conversation, Eboni."

"Mhm." Is all Eboni says, staring at the white wall in front of her.

The faceless creature sighs heavily, running his hand down his face. "Alright....you've been on your best behavior. That is much appreciated, so for that, I will send someone to let you out tomorrow night of the New Year's event."

"Mhm....what do you want? My gratitude? Want me to apologize for nearly killing her? No, thank you. You locked Jeff away in here, too....when I needed him most..." Eboni grumbles, remembering Jeff's words to behave. "I have nothing else to say to you now."

Slenderman stares at Eboni for a moment, walking into the room and standing in front of the girl. "Your mother was one of a kind. I tried to offer her a new life, but Zalgo took any chance I could give. Your mother chose your father. I was alright with that, but I knew her life wouldn't last long. Zalgo has been a thorn in my side since the moment he crawled out of hell. I want him gone just as much as you do, but you have to cooperate. I have come to the unfortunate conclusion that you'll only obey Jeffery. I will tolerate it. I keep Jeffery in line. He keeps you in line. It was a rather troublesome pill to swallow, but I will admit that he has become more tolerable since you arrived. Keep it that way, follow my rules, and I will stay out of your hair. Do you understand Eboni Brown?"

Eboni looks up at him, having gotten used to his radioactive nature. "Yeah... whatever."

"Mhm....In the middle of February, I will be sending you on your first mission with Jeffrey & two others to company you. It's about time you and Jeffery learn a bit of teamwork." And with that slenderman leaves, shutting the door behind him - the locking sound echoing.

And now it's the day of the New years party. Slenderman, of course, left to handle some business, when really he would rather not be around drunk young adults doing god knows what. He allows his proxies to throw parties every once in a while. They deserve it after working so hard under him. Of course, he has a few trusted proxies to oversea, making sure things don't get out of hand - one of them being Kate.

Things are already pretty lively. Jeff is waiting for Eboni to come, wanting to see her throw it back on him a few times. He sighs heavily, the music helping feed the buzz of his already alcoholic filled mind.

"Fuck...a lap dance would be nice right now..."

"I'd have to agree..." Eyeless Jack said mindlessly, taking a shot of liquor.

He motions his head to look at Ani, his gaze lingering down her body as he watches her dance with Lulu to the music. Jeff notices, grinning a bit. "Still not gonna make a move?"

EJ tenses, throwing his head back in frustration. "You already know the answer to that."

Jeff rolls his eyes. "You seriously need to drop your moral code. I get it....you swore to never forget her, but trying new things out with someone doesn't mean you'll forget her E." The smiling killer tried to reason.

EJ raises a brow, grinning. "When did you get so sophisticated about romance?"

Jeff rolls his eyes again, shoving him. "Fuck you. This is a damn party. Let's drop this shit and get drunk off our ass!"

And so they did, BEN joining in and betting who could drink the most vodka. Jeff won, but now he's too intoxicated to process who's even talking to him. He doesn't really care. He's just glad to be able to get this drunk. The smiling killer enjoys the feeling for some reason. It gives him a bliss that drugs do for BEN.

No one really bothers Jeff when he's in this state, all but one. Nina would always make advances towards Jeff during any party, but someone would always be there to stop it from getting too far. Luckily for Nina, Kate isn't anywhere in sight.

This isn't like Nina. She would never force herself onto Jeff, going as far as to lace one of his many drinks - but she's desperate. Nina never once thought Jeff would grow found of someone, let alone a target he was supposed to kill. In her mind, she always thought she had a chance - no matter how many times the obsession of her life voiced his hatred towards her.

With these thoughts in mind, she presses herself against Jeff - cornering him. The male is out of it to even push her off - he doesn't even know who's against him. Nina grins, rubbing herself against him and moving onto her toes to reach his lips.

"Jeff...please...just for one night.."

"Eh?...who the-"

The killer is cut off by Nina's lips slamming against his. She's in control, Jeff still not registering what's taking place. She forces her tongue into his mouth, moaning at the taste she's be aching to savor. This is how it's supposed to be. She gave up her life, her identity, her sanity, her entire being just to be with Jeff- so if she has to take him by force, so be it.

Meanwhile, Kate walks to the white room- sighing. She isn't sure why Slenderman allows his two most chaotic, disobeying, rebellious proxies stay together. She has to admit, Jeff has become more....tolerable- granted, if anyone so much looks at Eboni the wrong way, they're met with his fist to their face. Whatever Slenderman is thinking, she'll trust in his judgment like she always has.

Kate opens the door, not speaking to Eboni. She motions for the girl to follow her after removing the shock collar from her neck. Though her restraints were released awhile ago, Slenderman thought it'll be best to keep the collar on for insurance purposes.

Eboni follows, keeping a few feet of distance between them. Eboni felt sorry for most of the proxies here. They seem to have no other place to go, so Slenderman used that to his advantage - offering shelter and other means for the price of serving him for the rest of their lifetimes. Some don't mind, just going with the flow of things - others regret it yet not having the courage to voice it.

Puppets. They're all still his puppets.

Yet both her & Jeff will never turn into his mindless slaves, batting on Slenderman's every word - fighting to kiss his shoes, craving his 'fatherly' love & attention. All Jeff & Eboni needs are each other.

And yet....that's put into question the moment Eboni catches sight of Jeff & Nina in a full-blown make-out session.

ATWGD Masterlist

Character(s): Miguel "Rio" Costa (oc), Mykyta "Night" Kravchenko (oc), Malakai "Jaws" Aukai (oc), Sorin Blackwood (oc), Cyril "Atlas" Drakos-Carew (oc), Zephyr "Achilles" Drakos-Carew (oc), Aurelie "Voodoo" Madden (oc), Amos "Coyote" Rojas (oc), Jacob "Thunder" Sterling (oc).

Rio was cursing as he tried to focus on finding Sparrow, he had no luck with any of his flybys. “Shit…” He whispered as he then heard his radio crackle to life and a spark of hope jolted through him before it faded when he heard the familiar voice of his captain.

“Night to Rio, any lucky locating Sparrow or her crash site?” Mykyta’s voice rang over Rio’s side of the radio. The pilot reached over and clicked the button so he could reply, but paused and removed his finger. “Rio, do you copy?”  His voice crackled as he spoke to the Brazilian man.

“Negative. I haven’t been able to find her, but I did spot smoke. Not sure if it’s an enemy camp or her crash site.” Rio spoke up as he clicked the button again, his voice was shaky as he tried to calm his nerves while trying to focus on the mission.

“Roger that, pull back and regroup for the day. We’ll take a break before searching on foot. It’ll be too risky to fly now that they know we’re here.” The Ukrainian man ordered before he switched lines to inform the rest of the team. Rio switched himself over to the team’s line and listened.

“Voodoo, Rio, Coyote, and Jaws. I’m gonna need you four to search where Rio saw the smoke, Northeast. Atlas, Thunder, Achilles, and myself will head Northwest. Everyone got that?” Mykyta ordered over the radio. Rio stayed quiet for the moment but he agreed with that idea.

“You gotcha, Capt.” A Cajun woman spoke up. “We meetin’ up at the coordinates or will I have to find Jaws, Coyote, and Rio?” Voodoo joked as she spoke. ��Watch it, Madden. We might sneak up on ya.” Coyote spoke up with a snicker. 

“Quiet, Rojas. We’ll meet at the coordinates so our resident vampire can patch anyone up.”

“You heard the captain. Get your asses back here, I wanna know who needs shit done before we get split up.” The resident vampire, as they liked to call Sorin, spoke up with a chuckle. The medic was always fun when it came to jokes like that.

“Jaws ‘nd I should be there in no time. His radio is shot.” Thunder spoke up and the sound of their teammate cursing in the background about how he was lied to about his radio being waterproof. It got a cackle from Coyote and Voodoo.

“I’ll catch the two when they swing around, it won’t be worth it to just go ahead when it’ll be safer with them. Power in numbers.” A deep masculine voice spoke up with a heavy Greek accent, Atlas managed to startle Rio when he spoke. 

“Damn it, Atlas. Can’t be scaring me like that…” Rio spoke up as he found the makeshift base they were using and prepared to land. He didn’t realize how far he had been flying until now. “Already there, beat you all there.” He tried to joke.

“Oh c’mon! No fair you got a damn jet.” Thunder grumbled, causing everyone else to laugh, even Jaws; he still was pissed about his radio though, but it was a good distraction for the man. “I’m still fuckin’ grounded.” The Oklahoman huffed.

“Keep it up and you will still be grounded when we get back to base, Sterling. Hurry your asses up. We’re wasting the darkness with this chit chat. Rio, so see Sorin and load up on medical supplies just in case.” Mykyta snapped as his voice crackled with the static of the radio. 

“Yes, Capt…” Thunder sighed before his radio was silent.

“On it, Captain.” He replied before he removed his finger from the button to focus on landing. When he did land, he hopped out of the jet and stretched. He wasn’t used to the night flying, that was Sparrow’s specialty not his. He didn’t complain though, especially considering she was the other captain of the team. “Sorin!”

The raven haired medic poked their head out of the medical tent to see who it was before they sighed. “It’s just you, Rio. Come in and get what you need.” The heterochromatic eyed medic hummed as they disappeared into the tent once more, leaving the tall ginger to follow them into the temporary medical area they had set up.

Sorin was packing things into their own bag, back to Rio as he packed what he needed. The raven haired enby must’ve seen the look in his eyes before they had turned his back. They thought about whether they wanted to say what was on his mind or not. They decided to say it.

“We’ll find her, Miguel.” They offered him a soft smile, hoping to give him some sort of hope so he wouldn’t be so sad.

Rio didn’t even look at them as his only response was a small hum, he didn’t know what to say now. Anything he tried to piece together in his head to say all sounded like something that didn’t fit the situation or just didn’t sound right to him. Sorin could tell that and was quick to add onto what they said.

“You don’t need to reply, I was just putting that out there… It helps to have hope when looking, and besides…I know she’s still alive. She’s a…tough cookie as Voodoo and Jaws would say I believe.”

Rio chuckled softly at Sorin's attempt to copy or well borrow a saying from their American teammates. “Yeah, that she is… Mykyta would agree, he’s known her the longest after all.” He spoke quietly, he was a lot less enthusiastic without his partner at his side. 

Sorin shifted their gaze over to the taller man beside them before their eyes caught the very man he had just been talking about. “Mykyta, how’re you doing?” They asked the captain as he walked in. Rio looked over and went quiet.

“Doing okay, but I’d be better when we find my second-in-command. All of us would.” He spoke up as he glanced at Rio, he could see how this was affecting him so much already. “The others should be here soon, do we have enough medical supplies to go around just in case?” He asked the medic.

Sorin nodded as they looked at Mykyta. “We do, but I’ll need to restock whenever we get back to base. I’ll be wiped clean after this.” They replied as they glanced over at Rio again. “I’m worried about him, Mykyta…” They whispered to him, the Ukrainian nodded slowly. The two continued to quietly discuss to each other, Rio piping up once and awhile to add his own two cents.

That was until they heard the familiar voices of their teammates, seeing two of them before the others due to their heights. Atlas and Achilles both spoke quietly to each other, while Coyote, Thunder, and Voodoo were talking about who knows what. The others besides Jaws could barely understand them due to how quickly they were talking and their Southern accents didn’t help shit with the translations.

“Alright, I’ll do a roll call just in case and then we’ll go over the plan and what to do if we find a clue.” Mykyta spoke up after he walked out of the tent, Sorin and Rio following behind him. The others looked at their captain and went quiet. “I’ll call last names and you know the rest.”

“Aukai,” Jaws raised his hand. “Blackwood,” Sorin raised their hand. “Costa,” Rio let out a small hum in response. “Drakos-Carew,” Atlas and Achilles both looked over, replying with quiet ‘here’s. “Madden,” Voodoo gave a small wave. “Rojas,” Coyote grinned and gave a nod. “And Sterling.” Thunder hummed as he waved a bit. “Alright we’re all here. Now the plan is simple, we find Sparrow and divide into our teams. If we find any clues, radio the group and we’ll shift directions. If you find enemies; take one or a few as hostages. We’ll need information to find Artamova.” He looked at everyone, earning nods from the team.

“Just a reminder of teams and directions. Rio, Voodoo, Coyote, and Jaws to Northeast. Sorin, Atlas, Achilles, Thunder, and I will be heading Northwest. She’s somewhere North as that’s the last direction Rio was with her. We need to find her as quickly as we can, we don’t want her to be any more injured than she already is and we don’t want information to get out; not that she’d say shit anyways.”

‘But what if she was already way more injured than she was from the crash? What if they already…’ Rio had to shake his head a bit to snap himself out of spiraling down into those thoughts. He damn well knew Sparrow was alive, he knew she’s been through worse. He was just worried about not making it in time when they did find her. He didn’t want to lose her, not yet. 

Mykyta and Sorin made sure everyone had everything that they needed before they left and there they went. One team going Northeast and the other going Northwest. Would this work? No one knew, but it was going to take time and an observant eye to spot any clues. 

Rio, Voodoo, Coyote, and Jaws kept an eye out for clues as they headed to the direction of the smoke that the pilot had seen. It was about three to four hours until they made it to the source. It was in fact a jet crash, one that Rio knew all too well as he had helped and spent hours with Sparrow fixing and repainting the outside of the jet. It was hers, it had Sparrow’s touches to it. 

“...Simplesmente ótimo…” He murmured, Coyote walked over close and gently patted the pilot’s shoulder and was about to say something before he was interrupted. Thunder had found something, but not just anything; footprints. Sparrow’s footprints. Voodoo and Jaws had gone up ahead and found something else, the group ran over after following the footprints and found signs of a struggle.

“There’s tire tracks about nine meters away, someone for sure took her. Might be who we were looking for in the first place.” Jaws spoke up as he looked at the group but mainly the now eerily quiet Brazilian man. Voodoo was looking at the tracks and deciphered how long since they’ve been made and which way.

[panestates]

thinking about the removed ending from lis where it's revealed that the prescotts had some sort of involvement in the storm, either through a familial curse or foretold by the history of arcadia bay or being a direct response from nature itself because of the prescott family's environmental destruction or being directly done or created by the prescotts so they have a plot of land to build on with nobody left to complain. how u can see little hints of this with the fisherman and truck driver worried about environmental damage taking away their jobs, with the girls living inside the prescott dorm and kate jumping off the same prescott dorm roof. how the pan estates would make everyone indebted and constantly surveilled by the prescotts. the stormbreaker bunker, nathan's knowledge of the coming storm's totality yet obedience to mr. jefferson. "being a prescott is a burden [...] it was hard for me when my dad opened my eyes to our destiny, but you'll thank me someday" and nathan's repeated verbiage about everyone using him or trying to control him, hayden describing him as everyone's voodoo doll

Hexes

Hexes are believed to be powerful enough that they can cause physical harm or even death if not removed properly.

Hexes can be put on someone by anyone who knows the proper incantations and rituals involved in black magic spells; however, it is important to note that these curses should only ever been done with good intentions because of their potential for great damage if misused. To get rid of a hex one must find out what type of curse was placed on them and then use counter-curses or cleansing rituals such as burning sage or chanting specific words until the negative energy is gone from their life completely.

It’s important for followers of black magic practices like Wicca and Voodoo understand how dangerous hexes really are so they know when it’s time seek help from experienced practitioners who have knowledge about how best remove any unwanted energies from their lives safely without causing further harm themselves . By understanding this information we will all able protect ourselves against malicious intent while still enjoying the benefits associated with using magical powers responsibly

Happy WBW! What bit of world building is most exciting or giving you the most fits right now?

Hi!! I know I'm a day late...my new meds are giving me fits and I'm going to bed uber early...so I'm combining this with Blorbo Blubrsday because I'm excited about my Blorbos and their World Building both, so you're so in for a treat babes!! <3 I am SOOO glad you asked sweetie!! Hope you're up for some reading <3

THE IMPERIUM CHRONICLES

So, Korben has his new ward, Princess Seren. Soon they will be going to his manor house that is closer to the Mage Consortium that she will be attending. I am busy picking out pictures of the Consortium and the manor, making up the layout of the house and the feel of it to use. In all this too you will get a better feeling for Korben and Seren, along with his valet, Hendrick. There is also other characters that Seren will meet along the way at the Consortium that will add to and somewhat complicate things. How? Well, that I cannot share. The Consortium is like a college on Earth. There are different buildings, there will be different classes in those buildings for various skills that mages need. There are also some students who will live in dormitories on campus, some who will live in apartments off campus, and then there are aristocrats like Princess Seren who will live in mansions/manors. Social standing does not matter at the Consortium, it is by your talents you received at birth. Seren's were that of a mage. Korben's will be revealed later.

Korben's curse will be revealed, along with how and why he received it. Also, it will explain what happened with Seren's mother and lead into how he has now found himself in this position and what it means for Seren, Hendrick, and himself...and maybe others.

BENDING THE LAW

This story is just starting so there is a lot to build up here as I rewrite it. I'm realizing as I'm going back into it that I had not been as descriptive as I should have in some places, about people or places. Thankfully, it is set in Chicago, so I don't have to describe a totally made up world. I can say Navy Pier, and it is a place that people can know or look up, as opposed to any place in Imperium, Caligo, or Uffern over in The Imperium Chronicles. However, details of Colin's office, Sorena's lab, or the station where Karsten works are going to need to be filled in at some point. I prever in bits and pieces where necessary. Information dumps bore the piss out of me as a reader, so I don't do that if I can avoid it as a writer. I'm also trying to expound some more on the personalities of all of the characters.

This started out as a project for just me from a plot bunny that wouldn't stop hopping in my brain. So now that I am getting it ready to be read by others, I am having to put in the parts that make it make more sense to someone that doesn't live in my head and hasn't been to Chicago and know the landscape and how things can be up there. Also how the characters are in my head needs to be expounded upon.

So their Chicago is being drawn as I go through and edit before posting so that the reader is drawn into their city and how things are being laid out. What it's like to live their daily life, and how everything is happening in their world.

BOMBS, BODYGUARDS, & BROKEN ARTIFACTS

Unlike the other two stories, this one has been read before, just not here. Many of these chapters were read somewhere else where I was also involved in roleplay. I had put them up to a certain part before the atmosphere became too toxic. HOWEVER, I have made some changes in the story since then because I didn't like how one of my plot points went. So I went back and un-killed someone, and no, they are not a zombie. I may have voodoo in my story, but we are NOT going to have zombies. FUCK...plot bunny produced. *facepalm* I hate this.....

ANYWAY...*shoves plot bunny in a box* Because of that change, I have to remove some of the foreshadowing I did in the beginning. While readers who didn't know what was going to happen might not have picked up on it, I catch every one of the little cookie crumbs that I threw in along the way. I'm going to have to do some bigger edits in the future; right now at the beginning, they are small. I'm also adding more in because readers now have not seen any of these characters as roleplay characters so I need to fluff them out more so you can see their personalities. My babies need loooooove.

Also, while the story will be set in real locations, there are fictional place names also thrown in the way authors do and I'm going to have to describe those better than I did in the past so that you can picture them in your mind. I'm working on that, and not info dumping. Again, I hate that, so trying to drop tiny bits of information as I go along.

Thank you for asking this and hope I didn't overwhelm you! <3

[obeah-rituals]

All you wanted to know about Obeah

Obeah is a religious activity premised on a fusion of various religions. It is an art form – in fact, it would be more appropriate to call it an art of "resistance". This activity is widespread in the Caribbean and African countries. Over there, people use "Obeah" to ward off evil entities and the negativity inflicted on people's lives. As such, this is a practice somewhat connected to spirituality. 

There are plenty of Obeah practitioners today who know the power that this particular practice possesses and hence come forward to help people. There are two paths to Obeah. 

The first path involves summoning supernatural entities, and the second involves using plants and animal products. 

Obeah practices around the world 

If you want to practice Obeah, it would imply that you learn how to control and channel negative energy and spiritual forces. It comprises a wide range of practices and beliefs. The main aim of this activity is the well-being of the intended beneficiaries and society in general. It is supposed to bring good fortune, protect people from negative energies, and prevent illnesses. However, at times, Obeah is used to harm people. 

During the period when slavery was legal, Europeans practiced it for positive reasons. In the colonial era, this practice helped minimize the adverse effects of negativity in one's life.

The meaning of Obeah 

The word Obeah derived from an African term with a strong and significant meaning. There are many ways the meaning of the word "Obeah" could be perceived. Still today, in some parts of Africa, it is referred to as Obey. Some people practice this as a source of strength. In other cases, people practice it to harm others by summoning supernatural forces. History says that this particular practice originated in Africa. No matter what he does – bad or good – the Obeah man is always treated with respect.

The rituals of Obeah

Obeah is a spiritual practice often sought when someone wants to remove negative energy, especially when they feel stuck in witchcraft practices, and to remove the curse. As we have said already, this ritual is beneficial to remove negative energy from one’s life. As such, it can deal with negative forces such as jinn, Voodoo, black magic, and evil spirit. 

There are many instances when you may feel nothing is going well in your life and strange things are happening repeatedly thus affecting your life. This is when you can consider a consultation with an Obeah man. An Obeah man can play a central role in the life of any individual surrounded by evil and supernatural effects. You can be sure that no matter what, an Obeah man will always help you come out free from the spells inflicted by any other people or person to cause harm.

How can an Obeah man help you?

There are so many services that Exuma the Obeah Man can provide as enumerated below:

Obeah removal

witchcraft removal

curse removal

negative energy remedy

jinn removal

Voodoo removal

evil spirit removal

black magic remedy 

 Obeah rituals are followed extensively in Caribbean countries such as Jamaica and other African countries for centuries. It also includes casting love spells and other magic apart from what we have said here. These practitioners are efficient and can provide a permanent remedy for all kinds of Obeah evils. 

 Conclusion

Apart from the regions that we have mentioned so far, Obeah is even practiced in the USA (United States of America), the UK (United Kingdom), Canada, New Zealand, and Australia. Some so many people have had such good things to say about the positive way in which they have been affected by Obeah. Some people say that Obeah has helped them turn around the bad luck in their lives and the financial problems they were facing. 

[best-voodoo-priest]

Voodoo Practices and History

Voodoo is a popular cultural stereotype based on voudon, an Afro-Caribbean religion with its roots in Haiti but with adherents in neighboring countries and the Americas. Voudon is a term that encompasses a wide range of beliefs and practices, from those of the individual to those of the community at large, including a complex system of traditional medicine. Voudon is more than just a set of beliefs. It is a code of conduct passed down through generations through sayings, stories, songs, and folklore.

Voudonists share the Christian belief that the soul can leave the body during sleep or spirit possession. Christian theology views spiritual possession as an attempt by Satan or a demon to possess a human being against their consent. An invaluable first-hand spiritual experience and link to the spirit world, this possession is best used in a ceremony led by a voodoo priest or priestess.

History of Voodoo

Enslaved people created Voudon by fusing their West African religion with the Roman Catholicism they were forced to adopt by their owners, a process known as syncretism. Enslavers were mandated to convert their new African employees to Christianity within eight days of their arrival under a regulation passed in 1685 that also outlawed the practice of traditional African faiths. The Catholic Church approved of slavery because it helped convert Africans to Christianity. Enslaved people coerced into adopting Catholic practices gave them new significance, and many African Vodoo gods eventually came to be identified with Christian saints.

Voodoo Curses, Witchcraft, and its Evil effects

The evil effects of Voodoo encompass Witchcraft as well as Voodoo curse. Modern scientists and doctors are discussing the possibility of something called "Voodoo curse" in peer-reviewed medical journals, demonstrating the negative influence that belief in Voodoo can have on its adherents. The theology and philosophy of voodoo can be all-encompassing and dramatic. This culture has captivated and alarmed outsiders alike.

Witchcraft, an evil effect of Voodoo, involves getting haunted by spirits. Innocent and malicious spirits (kings, heroes, the reach, the righteous poor, obedient servants, etc.) roam freely after dark when the underground gates swing wide open, inspecting the souls of all citizens and keeping tabs on their actions, thoughts, and whether or not they are careful to instill cultural norms in their offspring. Spirits not only protect communities from harm but also oversee daily activities. It is in their hands to prevent droughts, floods, and the spread of deadly diseases.

Spirits would send wicked ones to torment a disobedient individual because while they can cause pain, they can only humiliate a person if he has disobeyed the wishes of his forefathers. As a form of punishment, they might make you sick to your mind, prevent you from taking a shower or medication, restrict you from sleeping in a bed or staying in your own house, and cause you to hear voices belonging to people he knows are dead. Some spirits have the power to direct their target to commit suicide.

Voodoo Priest and Priestess

A Voodoo Priest, or Houngan in the Vodou sect of the religion, is a respected religious and spiritual leader, educator, and role model for other Voodooists. The role of the Voodoo Priest is multifaceted, requiring him to uphold social order, treat the sick, and instruct his disciples in the ways of the religion. In addition, voodoo Priests perform numerous elaborate rituals essential to the faith. Similarly to how a Voodoo Priest is a male healer and leader in Voodoo, a Voodoo Priestess is the term used to describe a female healer and leader in Voodoo.

Voodoo Healing and about our services

It is essential to look for a good voodoo curse removal service. As well-respected voodoo specialists, we would use various methods to restore your health and happiness, including meditation, hypnosis, and rituals, so that you may lead a fulfilled and joyful life. In addition, we have access to some of the most skilled Voodoo practitioners and witch doctors, who will make quick work of any Voodoo spells performed upon you. The best part is that we have been doing Voodoo healing for years.

Voodoo is a significant part of the lives of millions of Haitians, and many people benefit from it. However, the practice also has far-reaching and effective negative consequences for the Haitian people. Most voodoo rituals are theatrical, epic events that fascinate and sometimes terrify onlookers.

Artist’s Blog #139 - Scream Blacula Scream (1973)

Exploring the Vampire Undead in Scream Blacula Scream

I am a fan of exploitation movies from the 70s, period. It doesn’t matter which sub-exploitation genre you want to talk about, I like them all. I don’t know why, but I’m trying to figure it out. You can be sure you will find 70s gold in most of these films. Sure, there are some extreme ones, some I’ve seen but won’t admit. Anyway, I recently found Scream Blacula Scream and Blacula on a streaming service. I watched Scream Blacula Scream first and will blog about it here. It’s a good thing I watched the sequel first, or I may not have gone back for Blacula. Let’s talk it out.

Pam Grier's Commanding Role in Scream Blacula Scream

These movies were already on my watch list, so I would have started with Blacula eventually. But I began with the sequel. I quickly noticed Pam Grier’s name in the cast, which was a huge grab for me. In many ways, she is an exploitation movie queen. Anytime her name is in the credits, you can bet it’s going to be a solid film. I’ve seen her in The Big Bird Cage, Foxy Brown, Coffy, and others. The only one I’ve blogged about is Black Mama, White Mama. You can read that one here. Grier had the attitude, style, and presence that made her perfect for exploitation films, and her role in Scream Blacula Scream showcased all these traits.

Vampire Themes in Scream Blacula Scream

Writing about a sequel before seeing the original is tricky. Now that I’ve seen Blacula, I can say it introduces some unique ideas that continue into Scream Blacula Scream. Blacula doesn’t want to be a vampire anymore, which is a central theme. The curse of the vampire is that they are “undead,” caught between life and death. Blacula wishes to have the Dracula curse removed and sent back to Africa by Pam Grier’s character. I found this interesting since he would essentially pass the curse to someone else. Stay tuned for more thoughts in next week’s blog.

Reviving Dracula in Scream Blacula Scream

Vampire movies often involve some kind of revival story for Dracula, similar to how Friday the 13th or Halloween sequels revive their killers. Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives has one of the best revival scenes, and Dracula sequels do the same. Scream Blacula Scream is no different, with a voodoo priest bringing the count back. Pam Grier’s character, Lisa Fortier, leads the voodoo cult, while Louis, the character who revives Blacula, takes on the Renfield role. There’s also a Van Helsing-like character.  

Blacula’s Transformation in Scream Blacula Scream

Whenever Blacula transforms from human to vampire, he grows peculiar sideburns that wrap around his face, giving him a resemblance to the Wolfman. I haven’t seen the classic Wolfman movie, but it’s on my list. His eyebrows become wilder, and these features intensify when he’s angry. Blacula’s appearance is a strange blend of Dracula, the Wolfman, and the Hulk. His vampire minions resemble zombies from old Romero films, but I didn’t care for this look in Blacula. You can read my blogs on Night of the Living Dead here and Day of the Dead here.

The Reflection Idea in Scream Blacula Scream

Another interesting concept in Scream Blacula Scream was the reflection issue. In today’s world, a vampire wouldn’t survive long due to all the reflective surfaces, especially smartphones. In this film, vampires can’t be photographed either. I’ve asked myself this before, but never really saw it on screen. In the 1931 Dracula, reflections or photos wouldn’t have been much of a concern, and even in Christopher Lee’s films, everything took place in old England where cameras weren’t a big issue. By the time we get to the 1970s in Scream Blacula Scream, it’s something the undead would have to worry about.

Casting Success in Scream Blacula Scream

The producers got a lot right with Scream Blacula Scream. Honestly, I expected it to be a little comical because most exploitation films lean toward silliness. I was surprised to find that it wasn’t. The casting was particularly well done. Not only was Pam Grier great, but William Marshall as Blacula was also impressive. His commanding voice gave him a strong presence, which is crucial for a character like Dracula. Christopher Lee had a similar quality, and while Bela Lugosi’s Dracula didn’t have the same suave vibe, his eerie, accented voice made him iconic.

Creepy Effects in Scream Blacula Scream

One thing I want to highlight is how Scream Blacula Scream handled scenes of Blacula flying toward his victims and his transformation into a bat. When Blacula flies across the room, cape open and fangs out, it’s obviously fake, but it still has a creepy factor. It reminds me of those haunted attractions where a dummy flies at you on a zipline. It worked for shock value. The transformation into a vampire bat was also clearly fake, but in all its ‘70s cheesiness, it struck the right balance between real and theatrical. The best transformation scene is in An American Werewolf in London, which I’ve blogged about here.

Vampires and Knowledge in Scream Blacula Scream

Thinking about vampires, they would have incredible knowledge over their long lifetimes. We learn so much in a human lifespan but imagine what a vampire would know after hundreds of years, especially about antiques. This idea came to me while watching Highlander, where McLeod had an antique shop. A vampire would have first-hand experience with historical objects. For Blacula, identifying a centuries-old African necklace makes perfect sense. He was around when these items were made and used, giving him an intimate knowledge no one else could match.

70s Aesthetic in Scream Blacula Scream

I can’t blog about an old film without touching on its aesthetic. The clothes, cars, and luxurious homes are a big part of what makes Scream Blacula Scream stand out visually. The 70s aesthetic is front and center. If you want more details on the cars, you can read about them here, and for filming locations, check here. I’ll save my thoughts on the clothes for next week when I dive into Blacula.

Fan Art and Final Thoughts on Scream Blacula Scream

I would absolutely watch Scream Blacula Scream again and probably will, especially since I plan to do some fan art inspired by it. If I ever come across an original movie poster at a decent price, I’m grabbing it. I’d love to frame one for my collection. Before I wrap up, I have a question: Does anyone know of other vampire movies where vampires don’t appear in photos? Let me know in the comments. Follow my art journey on social media, visit my website, and consider supporting and buying my work here. If you liked this blog or the movie, please share. Peace.

The forces involved in this witchcraft spell will reestablish the loving bond between you and help to build a strong, loving relationship from which to start anew. Despite any previous hardships or problems, the spell work will reestablish the strong bonds of friendship and love upon which the marriage and relationship originated. Have faith, these rituals are extremely powerful and will reconnect you and your partner in a strong and harmonious relationship.

Lucky & Success Ring

This means that there is an equal amount of good luck and bad luck when all is said and done. That being as it is, for best results these luck spells should be cast in pairs, if you cast a spell for some good luck to befall yourself, cast another for some bad luck to befall another person.

Business and Gambling

As well these spells have their best results when cast with spells in other sections. Casting a good luck spell on yourself then casting another spell (say for example a love spell) will improve the chances and results of the second spell, since now you have been charmed with good luck.

I Lack Sleep, Here's Some OC Writing PART 1

Themes: Bubba Sawyer x Rosette (Cain's mother, my self-insert OC), Bubba and Rosette as parents, How Rosette met Bubba and fell in love, Cain and Anne-Marie Sawyer having adventures around the farm and involving other Sawyers

Tags/Warnings: S/O, male x female, fluff, 18+ (I'll separate the 18+ from the fluff), pregnancy, pregnancy kink, baby, babies, gore, cannibalism, stockholme syndrome, child, children, rough events (for example, abuse)

A BRIEF ABOUT MY OCs:

Rosette Sawyer, born Rosette Whitman in 1947, was born into a fairly rich, well-to-do family.

Having been kept fairly cooped up most of her life and being told what to do and what not to do in social situations by her parents really got on her nerves. She made it a point to make friends with people who were "weird" and "different" initially just to upset her family but soon realized that such people really made life more interesting.

Rosette would also frequently sneak out on road trips with her friends, against her parents' wishes. This is why she knows how to refill gas, replace oil and change a tire. Unfortunately, it is also why she knows how to wield seemingly everyday objects as weapons- she had to know how to defend herself if her friends ever temporarily had to leave her all alone.

Rosette was cursed by a Voodoo Priestess while on a trip with her friends to see an artifact museum located in New Orleans, Louisiana. For being in the wrong place at the wrong time, Rosette can now never bleed out and whatever is cut off will grow back. The only way to escape the curse is death- either by removal of or ceasing the functions of either the heart or the brain.

Rosette prefers to wear "country" themed outfits that show a lot of skin because it's often very hot down in the South. Quarter sleeves, rolled sleeves or no sleeves are for her and she does not mind showing her stomach either. She will wear pants but prefers shorts and skirts. Also, she is never without her cowgirl hat and boots.

Cain Sawyer, born some time in 1974, is the son and first born child of Rosette and Bubba Sawyer.

Cain is either very quiet or very verbal, depending on what view of him someone chooses to focus on.

Cain's mastery of the spoken English language is not very high-level. He has difficulty with matching words to the physical world around him, so if he does speak, the listener has to be very patient to hear him out correctly.

Cain much prefers to communicate via random, almost animalistic sounds and gestures, similarly to Bubba, because for the first few years of his life, Bubba had to spend the most time with him due to Drayton refusing to let Rosette officially join the family for so long.

Cain's best friend in my horror crossover AU (Texas Chainsaw x IT x Coraline) is Christopher Gray. Cain enjoys Chris' seemingly random, high-energy chaos and appreciates having someone around that can and will speak up for him.

Cain is very protective of his little sister, Anne-Marie Sawyer. He's a tall kid and he's not afraid to use that to his advantage to chase someone who has hurt her away.

Cain also loves to dress up just like his daddy but is afraid to let uncles Nubbins and Chop-Top catch him in drag so he usually waits for Anne to tell him she wants to play tea party and jumps at the chance.

Cain LOVES animals. Like, he doesn't even have the concept in his head that some of them can possibly kill him. He is a simple kid- he sees an animal, it is now his new best friend forever. Of course, this means Cain really loves chores around the farm that involve animals, too!

Cain is that kid who WOULD have been a mama's boy but since he didn't have a lot of time with his mama when he was small, he's 100% daddy's boy.

Cain's favorite comforts when he's small are climbing all over dad, grabbing handfuls of dad's hair and inhaling the smell and also sitting on his dad's shoulders. If he can't find his dad, he'll go find his mom and get her to hold him for a while. His comforts with his mom involve her either singing to him or reading him stories.

Cain is not a very good reader- he can probably only read basic baby board book words by himself- but he loves to look at picture books and have someone read them to him.

On weekends, Cain loves to get Uncle Chop-Top to turn on the radio or put on some records so they can jam out in the living room.

Cain's favorite pastime though is probably anything where he can use a hammer or a tenderizer. After an incident occurred where he learned he could throw a tenderizer hard enough to knock someone out in order to save himself and his dad from an attack, Bubba, Drayton, Nubbins and Chop-Top all realized he could be the next family butcher, just like his dad. So they started training him to use hammers/tenderizers fairly early on- Bubba and Nubbins would often try to show him better techniques and Drayton and Chop-Top would try to show him and teach him about different kinds of hammers and tenderizers and their "stats".

Cain also has knowledge of some things that most children should not. Namely: Firearms, arsony, larceny, defacement and a general understanding of terms and phrases that aren't meant for his age level. This is because Nubbins and Chop-Top make terrible babysitters and Christopher Gray, who looks 10 in human years but is actually 20 years old, has too much chaotic adult knowledge.

That said, Cain is generally well behaved and does what he's told but will fall to any one of those things if Chris eggs him on for any reason. In fact, Chris will HELP HIM light sticks of dynamite or paint the phrase "f*ck you" on the side of the barn in efforts to upset Drayton and mess up Pennywise.

Cain generally wears a semi-loose formal buttoned and collared work shirt, dark slacks, black boots and dark suspenders. He might occasionally add a tie to be like his dad.

Anne-Marie Sawyer, born in 1978, is the second child and first daughter of Rosette and Bubba Sawyer.

Anne's best friend is Christopher's twin sister, Jennifer Gray.

Rosette had recently been allowed to officially join the Sawyer household when Anne was born, so Anne never knew a day without her mom. She's 100% a mama's girl.

Anne-Marie is very much the "pampered princess" type. Lay one wrong finger on her and both her big brother and their dad will be on the scene in a heartbeat, weapons out.

Anne-Marie's style is also very "princess", as she loves to dress up a lot. Puffy sleeves and long, semi-decadent gowns, sometimes with glitter even and bows, are her favorite. If a princess dress isn't available, she's perfectly happy to settle for an old gingham gown as well. Anne will accept Mary Janes for footwear but largely prefers cowgirl boots, even with her princess dresses.

Anne loves to play "tea party" with her dolls and get dressed up and she's aware that Cain is into it too, so she will often talk him into playing with her- she will even help him get dressed up and do his makeup for him. She will also often get Bubba to join them and if he will let her, which he often does, she will do his makeup, too. In fact, Anne and Bubba will do each other's hair and makeup and if Cain wants, Bubba will fix him up, too.

Anne-Marie also loves to make things out of found objects. Especially bones. She will often sit down with Bubba or Nubbins and work on trinkets, carvings, jewelry, decor, you name it- out of bones and various body parts. Her favorite though is dolls and stuffed animals. Most of her dolls and stuffed animals were either made by her, Bubba or Nubbins or sometimes all together or in teams. Her favorite doll though was something she found already made by the side of the road- an old, discarded Raggedy Ann.

When Anne needs comfort from her parents, she's less a climber and more of a hugger. She loves to snuggle into her dad while he's holding her or into her mom's chest while being held. If parents aren't available, Cain will hold her and calm her down. Anne also likes to be sung or hummed to, which again, if parents aren't around to do it, Cain will try. She doesn't mind being read to either but really prefers stories a bit more when she's feeling better.

Learn Why The Voodoo For Death Spells So Lethal?

Black magic has been practised for millennia, even though many distinct magic spells exist. It's important to understand how these spells function before you begin to practise them so that you don't accidentally harm yourself or others.

It's critical to be aware of the risks involved with using them. The components of a death spell are listed below.

They are unpredictable

Websites and blog articles listing the "deadliest black magic death spells" are nothing new. Is it the fact that they're all intended to murder someone? No. What, then, is the big deal? Well, to begin with, several black magic death spells are available. While some death spells use poison to murder their victims, others use natural disasters to achieve the same result. Some people may even employ a curse or two to accomplish their goals! You will have no trouble finding a means to kill someone with black magic death spells, regardless of your inclination! Opt for Voodoo Removal In New York today with Ganeshji.

Death spells can attack their target in a variety of ways due to their unpredictability. A death curse might affect an entire family without anybody knowing its origin.

Limited people can perform death magic with success

When you search the internet for how to spell death, many alternatives are available. Even if the voodoo death spells you obtain are strong, they are meaningless if you cannot call upon the spirits to carry out the killing on your behalf. That being stated, you need to hire someone with experience like Spellcaster Maxim, who has years and years of skill with voodoo spells of all types, including ones for death.

Black magic death spells include intricate processes

Black magic death spells, in contrast to normal spells, could involve additional stages that only a skilled spellcaster would be aware of. These are the steps they follow, for instance, when they perform a Wiccan death spell or another form of extremely powerful death magic. The Spellcaster first runs a magic analysis. The Spellcaster goes beyond what you mentioned in this situation by using their skills and instincts. They must verify your account and determine whether the intended victim deserves to perish.

They look to see if there is any further magic. This eliminates the possibility that a spell will fail if the victim wears a charm or talisman that provides protection. If so, they attempt to weaken or eliminate it for a witchcraft death spell to be effective. Get in touch with Ganeshji, the best Voodoo Removal In New York for you.

Thirdly, they protect you and each other from the demons they will summon to the world of the living. Black magic death spells are cast by demons who cannot be trifled with; they can kill anybody involved in the ritual, including the victim and the client.

In black magic death spells, terrible demons are summoned

Black magic users could ask a demon to take someone's life. Even if they have been called in the name of wrath and devastation, demons are not your allies. Once summoned to aid in a sinister scheme, certain demons are so strong that they cannot be restrained or exorcised.

Spells that threaten someone with death ask powerful demons to execute the worst penalty possible: death. When they arrive here and feel unsatisfied with the music they hear, they continue to absorb more power because they are constantly on the hunt for more. People are likely most terrified of this aspect of the black magic death spell.

Since we've already discussed how terrible a spell to kill a man or woman may be, this section will focus on how to restore their safety. If casting a death spell is the greatest method to exact retribution on your foes, you shouldn't be afraid to do it. Therefore, getting in touch with experts at Voodoo Removal In New York is the best to get rid of black magic, voodoo, jinn, and obeah.
