#it's the sapphic rite of passage

[moonlightsapphic]

wait wait wait wait so are we just not gonna talk about Nimona’s homoerotic childhood best friendship with Gloreth who turned out to be a brainwashed terf and then how it all ended with a traumatic breakup ooorrrrr

[afterthelambs]

Goro Akechi is for the girls and the gays because he perfectly encapsulates the clinical insanity of being a teenage girl going through puberty. The underhanded compliments? The threats so subtle no one can actually complain? The pleasant composure hiding feral gremlin rage? Simultaneously admiring and envying your gay crush? He's like if Regina George could kill people

[finisnihil]

Hearing about other people's ex's is wild because they'll tell me the most insane and unbelievable lore and then when it's my turn all I have is yeah she told me "good job" for making her realize she's straight and calls me a whore for fun. That's all I got.

[pinkfey]

girls when they think about the ex best friends they were in unrequited gay love with

IWTV 2x02 Initial Thoughts (Stream Of Consciousness)

- Louis would be that faux-intellectual hipster who has his own darkroom full of overexposed and blurry, unfocused photos that are his “art” bc he took them on film (affectionate)

- Not claudia calling him out on it in the next scene “let me think I’m deeper than I am” okay honey you do you

- “She’s miserable but she doesn’t want to fuck with your too delusional left bank dilettante vibes” ahh the narrative foils are foiling, I see

- The show: Alice was pregnant, My dumb ass: OMEGAVERSE DEVILS MINION !?!?

- “joyfully joyless” MOOD.

- Claudia looking at Madeleine like “I don’t know if I want to be her or be with her” Dw babe it’s a rite of passage for all of us you’ll figure it out

- “Your French is ugly” 🥹👉👈 weally?

- “the dress for my body” LOOK I know what she meant, but I can’t help it that my mind is perverted

- LMFAO NOT GLORYHOLE PARK

-Oh no the ole business card trick! we all know that’s Louis’ kryptonite he loves a man with credentials

- i like girls, but why is santiago kinda…

- Woah the Annika scene was really hard to watch which I think was the point but goddamn idk if I’ll be able to rewatch that part

- Estelle is my self-insert. I’m claiming her.

- “You both fucked Lestat!?!” HOW DID THEY KNOW WE WANTED HIM TO SAY THAT!?

- “He tasted of vermouth and annihilation” We both know you have no earthly idea what that man tastes like, Armand. Be so fucking fr right now.

- Did Armand just casually drop that he had a threesome with a father and son? I’m sorry, sir????

- “Now I know what two blood fat cocks slapping hands feel like” When I tell you my spirit left my body

- oh shit here we go. I’m a caged animal and it’s time for my weekly enrichment. give me my loustat.

- there’s a letter !?!? Wait wait I wasn’t ready for something like this wait stop stop please

- “all my love belongs to you. you are its keeper” just take me out back and shoot me at this point

- “it is a thin veil” fucking fuck why was that so romantic??

- the blood tears welling up in Lestat’s eyes I’m-

- “Rebound of my life” and in that moment, he spoke for the people

- WHAT IS HAPPENING???? Jesus Christ, they were talking about Alice and then it cuts to FUCKING ARMAND!?! This is not a drill. Everyone to your stations, this is not a drill.

- “You sold your Dad’s playboy magazines at recess” Hmmm? You’re telling me a “straight” teenage boy sold porno mags instead of keeping them for himself??? Yeah, I call gay on that one

- “she wanted to say yes” you motherfuckers.

- Oh shit Louis is pissy tonight rawr kitty got claws

- Devils minion girlies are thriving, skin glowing, hair silky, breath minty, pillow cold, stomach full, dreams sweet, and by Jove, we fucking deserve it !!!!

- daniel’s shaky “um- gulp” …….guys this is gonna sound crazy but i think there might actually be a god

- ooh the camera/photography being like a divide or barrier between Louis and his present situation. Like he wants to capture the moments, but only as if an onlooker and not a participant… interesting!

- “Who?” will never not be funny

- “Mon ami” in the same episode as “Mon Cher” FUCK ME GENTLY WITH A CHAINSAW

- “Armand for you” nah nah nah i changed my mind, you can do like Leatherface and shove that chainsaw in rough and hard

- Close up on Louis’ conflicted face, fire blazing behind him…. That’s not foreboding in any way. I’m sure they’ll all live happily ever after from now on :D

What a ride! Until next week! 🧛‍♂️🩸

[thedndgoblinwholivesinyourwalls]

YOUR OCS. can you talk about them 😳👉👈 im intrigued by their crimes

*CLAPS MY HANDS TOGHETER* I’VE AWOKEN OK. SO. RIGHT INTO IT.

Quick rundown of the world they’re in- monsters exist!! And people have to live amongst them even though most of them are very dangerous! So anyways into the murder lesbians :]

Janette Biswar (she’s 47 and suffering/hj) or otherwise this lady:

(oh no the way the images layout lmao but the last one is done by @iersei!) She’s an unwilling cult leader with the church her mum used to run (which is a cult omg) being handed down to her basically! (she completed a rite of passage to be the leader in her teens which was murder she does not like that) And at the moment she’s trying to dismantle the cult to make it a normal cult but then Adele Beckett turns up-

This is Adele Beckett (46 and loving her life/hj)

(i don’t draw her enough and the art on the right is also done by iersei!) SHE’S A COP! (acab) She also fights the monsters in the world they’re in. Transphobic and aro-phobic btw. She gaslight gatekeep girlbosses on a regular basis. (She has a husband called Josh that she was highschool sweethearts with him- he’s transmasc so they were a sapphic couple in the early years)

Onto the actual plot- a cop and a priest walk into a bar basically. (i’m not even joking) so they both do that and they flirt things are said and done woahh (they kiss holy shit :0) They end up sleeping togheter but before that janette was like ‘heyy i’m aro-spec let me explain what that means and how i don’t do romantic relationships” and Adele is like “uh huh. definetly listening” she isn’t. she does not care at all. So basically they have a friends with benefits relationship but then Janette is like “WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU HAVE A HUSBAND” since adele is not polyamorous and did not tell Josh about it.

They split up, and don’t talk for a while until Adele’s son, Ryan, ends up being involved in a cult ritual that ends up with him getting his arm chopped off. Adele knows who did it (janette who did not agree to that ritual) and ended up getting revenge. In the form of arson. She was mostly commiting arson because she was just annoyed at Janette and a little bit for her son she isn’t a good mum. So Janette gets burnt alive and then ends up getting resurrected by weird blue spirits called Sprites that curse her with if she cuts her skin, little blue flowers and foliage burst from her skin trying to push their way out which is dangerous! So she has to stay out of town- in the woods- because everyone thinks she’s dead and she’s just planning her way to kill adele.

yeah. there is so much more lore i could go into but i will save that. for later. :D

Basically both of them have killed people and only one really regrets it (janette) okok anywayssss-

[antoinettish]

youre telling me touhou, the supposed lesbian bible, the girlkisser guidebook, the sapphic rite of passage............is a bullet hell.........?

[yellowjacketslesbian]

“I’ll never be scared of you”

It’s going to be taivan’s defining line.

A line that will be passed down through generations of lesbians & sapphics. Watching taivan’s story unfold in Yellowjackets will become a rite of passage on par with watching the l word.

[missparker]

I'm almost done with my MC rewatch (I've hit s6 ep5 and I'm dreading finishing the season) and my brain decided it was sad girl shipping hours early and I woke up with Indigo Girls "Ghost" in my head and thinking about Brenda x Sharon. Could honestly be either one's pov- Sharon thinking of Brenda when she moved to DC and the ghost of her presence around the murder room/LA... or Brenda back home in Georgia (after getting divorced and moving closer to fam) finally realizing what she missed out on but will never get the chance to have.

(Also anyone who sees this ask better go look up that song because it's just gorgeous poetry)

I think I gave up on MC partway through season five and never watched season six at all. I am aware of some happenings because of tumblr gif sets but once they went all in with the Shandy stuff and the quality was worse compared to the Closer, I had to bounce. Which means to me, Sharon is alive and well and gay as hell.

It's a universally sapphic experience to get the feels from an Indigo Girls song, truly. I saw them in Bloomington, IN in 2011 and it remains, to this day, one of the best shows I've ever seen. They're just such good, solid, talented musicians. Sometimes you see an artist or band you really love and they sound rough live but it doesn't matter because you love them, but there are some artists that are BETTER live, and Indigo Girls are one of them.

Do you want to know how old I am? We had a cassette tape growing up with Indigo Girls Rites of Passage on one side and one of the 10,000 Maniacs albums on the other side, probably Our Time In Eden, and we listened to that ALL the time. I've been listening to the song Ghost for like thirty years. Signals cross and love gets lost and time passed makes it plain is still one of the BEST LYRICS OF ALL TIME. How dare they????

[highaugur]

fabula:: Apsara Urbaśīra

Name: Apsara Urbaśīra (Sara Urvashi) Occupation: High Augur Age: 57 Sexuality: Sapphic Species: Witch Coven: Circle of the Augury Hometown: Hinds County, Colorado Relationship Status: Open Personality: Apsara is a soft-spoken, calm natured woman, but that is an image honed over decades of struggle, reflection, and hard lessons learned. She is calculating, measured, and diplomatic where necessary, but her open minded and welcoming demeanor is to be taken for granted at one’s peril; she knows when to extend the branch and when to bare the blade. She carries herself with confidence and graceful certitude, owing not only to her experience as both a Witch, a Mother, and a Local Fixture, but also as a practiced seeress who has seen all manner of offerings of things yet to come; conflicts, celebrations, mirths and miseries. She is also wary of  the dangers of hubris, and knows that no portent, no prediction, no vision is clear cut or circuit, either, and so Urvashi knows the value of maintaining the foundation of one’s power - to learn from the past, and fortify the present to secure the future.

Biography: Apsara’s earliest memory of spellcraft was when, after being taunted and attacked by some children at school over everything from the food she brought to eat, to the way she wore her hair, to the things she just didn’t get about the other boys and girls, she was taught by her mother to make a small doll in her image. She slept with that doll under her pillow for seven days and seven nights, and on eighth day, her mother helped her burn the doll away, along with all the sourness it had taken from her.

The boys and girls at school never spoke ill of her again, for reasons all of them would forever be too fearful to discuss.

Apsara’s mother’s mother had fled from Kolkatta alongside the rest of her coven, a small sect of witches fleeing a surge of witch-hunts in West Bengal. They nestled into a small town in Colorado, where they bought a parcel of land to work and worship on together, largely unbothered for years until the Brotherhood Hunters came. They were offered an ultimatum; aid the Hunters in the extermination of a local Vampire pocket, or join them. The leader of their coven, fearing retribution, relented, helping the Hunters find, bind, and destroy the Vampire presence, but not all of the Vampires were destroyed, and when the hunters left, there was nobody to protect the coven from retribution from the remaining Vampiric survivors when they visited in the dead of night. Fearing annihilation, the remaining few of the coven, including Apsara’s then-pregnant mother, fled further West, arriving in Port Leiry, where they found sanctuary with and were eventually folded into The Circle of the Augury.

It was into the Circle of Augury itself that Apsara was born, and it was by the Circle of Augury which she was largely raised. She carried her mother’s natural talent for magic, and that talent was cultivated and honed and nurtured. The Augury’s most important rite of passage involves the witch gazing into the future, which will most often reveal some fated location, or task. Sara’s pointed her across the world, to the land of her mother’s mother, and when she was only eighteen, she left for India to find just what her vision was leading her to.

In India she found much more of herself than she expected. Reconnecting with her culture and a way of thinking she had long been removed from, she saw everything her mother had been trying to teach and preserve in her in new light. She found new insight. New practice. New Power.

India in the  seventies and early eighties was having something of a resurgence of Witchcraft, with modern sensibilities and pop-culture were mingling together to create a scare about black magic in the public mind. Still, she sought out both her elders and contemporaries, and rebuilt a bridge in her soul that had long sat broken and disused. She returns then to Port Leiry. Months and years become decades, in 2004, she is raised up to High Augur, having served as her predecessor’s acolyte for twenty years.

It is then that she moves the Coven’s center to a parcel of coastal land on the city’s southern outskirts that rests on top of a cave network, one she saw in her dreams all those years ago, at the bottom of which sits a massive natural underground vault lined in glimmering crystal, a place of immense power, where the Witches of the Augury can come and peer into its uncountable facets for whispers from the yet-to-be.

In the twenty years since, the Circle of the Augury has convened to do what they can to observe and maintain a walkable path into the future, both for their Coven and for Port Leiry itself. As High Augur, she maintains a line of communication with other covens, pack leaders, and even some of the more powerful vampire leaders of the city, though these are not necessarily friendly.

Her most important duty, however, is maintaining Apsarānuṁ bhaviṣya, her book of prophecies. Like each High Augur before her, she is tasked with keeping a book of prophecies, translated from her visions, meditations, and scrying. These volumes are sacred, sealed and hidden by the Augury in secret places following the respective High Augur’s death, and are largely sought by various supernatural beings for obvious reasons.
