baneful witchcraft — to cast, or to not cast?

imma start posting more things that aren’t JUST spells, i need some things to fill in my blog between projects 😅 so let’s discuss this my loves.

well, if you want to get a scale of how necessary (or unnecessary) your baneful witchcraft should be, imagine the interactions you had + are about to do as physical actions.

rule of thumb: if it’s not something that you’d do to someone in real life, it’s probably best you don’t try to do it astrally either.

if you not about it, don’t go looking for that type of smoke.

for example:

say that there was a really rude customer you’ve had, and they’re some stranger that you (hopefully) don’t see again. are you going to:

A) be petty and ensure that they have a hard time getting what they want because they were that mean to you?

B) punch them in the face, drag them off of the premises, and walk away?

C) find their address, kidnap them, and skin them alive in your basement?

if you’re someone who chose A — you’ve retaliated in the form of jinxing.

something quick and petty that allows you to get your lick back, but nothing long-term that implicates both of y’all for a hard time. this is comparable to a jinx, light baneful work. they’re pretty easy to cast, pretty easy to break. not that serious unless you dealing with someone who REALLY takes offense to that and will snap back harder on you.

if you’re someone who chose B — you’ve retaliated in the form of a hex.

i hope that you’re someone who fantasized about doing that instead of actually carrying it out in real life. if you actually carry this out in real life, i pray you got someone to bail you out. i understand the sentiment because there are times where i’ve wanted to beat the shit out of customers who were being vile to me, but it’s not worth any of the potential consequences if you chose the wrong person!

if you’re someone who chose C — you’ve retaliated in the form of a curse.

and … you should probably not be wielding baneful witchcraft because this is the definition of fuck around and find out + it’s REALLY not that serious. transmute some of that hatred into some abundance for you baby, that energy could go towards much better things actually worth your time.

if you chose this option for some reason, you need to get better at picking your battles and directing your energy towards better things — plus, i don’t think that interaction warrants the amount of innocent lives you’ll affect by gravely harming that person. you’re also setting yourself up for some pretty bad retaliation from other forces too.

so like… while i’m all for baneful works, i’m NOT for throwing it around lightly! again, treating baneful works like they’re candy to toss around is an amazing way to fuck around and find out.

additional closing notes

it’s unlikely that you’ll find yourself in a situation where you need to use a vile curse. if you have to resort to that after everything else failed to work, i’m sorry for what you went through and i hope you get the retribution you deserve.

hexes, it’s likely you’ll have some long-term situations that warrant them!

just make sure there’s a kill-switch in the spell (eg. if someone stops their gossiping for three months, the hex will automatically break). not a good idea to make a hex long-lasting no matter what conditions — extending the duration with no outlet basically makes it a curse.

jinxes, i personally rarely cast because i prefer to calm down and direct my energy to somewhere else.

i don’t like immediately resorting to malice. however, i find that they’re pretty good in teaching quick lessons for repeated annoyances. got an annoying neighbor that won’t stay out of your business? a witch could just jinx them to have enough problems around their own house that they only worry about their own business. quick, a little meanspirited, but you not straight up assaulting them for being a nuisance.

if you have the power, make sure to use it responsibly + avoid fucking around too much if you don’t want to find out! if you want to fuck around, at least cover your ass enough to do it.

end of the blog!

fly away my oneironauts !!!

Jayden: We just got an urgent order for an ExoMech suit.

Cameron: Urgent? ExoMech suit? Did something happen?

Jayden: Skiing accident.

Kristy: I thought we could build Robo-Arms and ExoMech suits for sims who have difficulty moving their arms or body.

Cameron: Oooh, great idea. Writing it down.

Cassandra: I hope we don't jinx it and people start to get hurt.

Kristy: You believe in that kinda thing?

Kristy: Look at this, I'm gonna make a perfect shot.

Julia: Don't jinx it.

Kristy: Score! I don't believe in jinxing, therefore I never jinx it.

Jayden: He says that he'll be able to walk again, but an ExoMech suit will speed up his recovery.

Cameron: Let's hope he's right. And I guess it's just for us to get down to business then.

Cassandra: Aren't we only doing repairs today? Did someone order a Robo-Arm?

Kristy: Nah, I just thought it'd be good to have one ready if needed.

Cassandra: I'm telling you, you're jinxing it.

Kristy: I still don't believe in jinxing, and it's still good to have one ready.

Cameron: How about you do the cybernetics, Beren does the electronics, Cassandra builds the mechanical parts, and I go through the coding?

Beren: You forgot someone!

Jayden: Yeah, why did you leave out Kristy?

Cameron: Because she should finish the Robo-Arm.

Janie: Aren't you gonna use machines and stuff? Long sleeves seems rather dangerous, what if you get stuck in something?

Kristy: That won't happen.

Janie: Watch it happen only because you said it won't.

Kristy: Why is everyone so superstitious? Give me a break.

Kristy: YOUCH!

Beren: What happened?

hello!! i saw your post about giving victims of a curse an "out" or a breaker, and was wondering if there's anything physical included in doing this? is it just the intention of giving them a way of breaking the curse or is there something i should write down? i want to make sure they have a breaker (: thank you!!

That's totally up to you, how you wanna program the "Breaker Clause" into your work. I speak aloud for a lot of mine, or I write out a "contract".

It really depends on your work. Most people I know don't write their own baneful spells, they find them. So if having a piece of paper makes sense to the spell you're pairing it with, do that.

I'm not sure how familiar you are with my blog, but I am absolutely not the person who's gonna tell you there's a right/wrong way. If it feels like you're onto something, you probably are.

Go forth & get weird.

I need people that are petty and vindictive like me. Let’s balance together ✨

[bloodyhellel]

When we talk about cursing/hexing/jinxing etc in witchcraft most people thinks about things like diseases or harmful effects.

But most of time I wish that all their sock gets holes for a month, that tiny pack of ketchup explode in their bags, that their shoelace rip off, any thing that I can think as highly annoying and unscathed...

Am I the only one ?

What's the strangest thing you wish for when hexing someone ?

blue, like the rooftops of the city over yonder blue, like the ghosts of brothers long gone

blue, like the crystalized hope of tomorrow blue, like my hair he'd braid gently when long

blue, like the ocean that drowned all my sorrows blue, like the smoke of my sister's last song

Day 8: Blue

THIS SPECIFIC SHOT OF JINX HOLDING ISHA TIGHTLY IN HER ARMS, AND SEVIKA INSTINCTIVELY USING HER ENTIRE BODY TO SHIELD THEM FROM THE EXPLOSION HAS A COMPLETE AND UTTER CHOKEHOLD ON MY HEART 🥺💔

I SWEAR IF ANYONE HURTS THEM I’M GONNA 🔪🔪🔪

Kristy: Kit, did you have to pick College Cram as the movie to watch the day before the next term starts?

Kit: But I like this movie, and-

Bruce: The term starts tomorrow!?

Janie: What's the problem with that? I thought you liked studying.

Bruce: Do I look like I'm someone who likes studying?

Janie: Well… You kinda do.

Bruce: Wearing glasses has nothing to do with how studious someone is.

Bruce: Maybe if I start wearing sunglasses with prescription instead, then I can both see properly and look less like a nerd.

Janie: Oooh, smart.

Daisy: But seriously, Kit, why did you pick this movie?

Kristy: Maybe it's because of all the topless, muscular people.

Janie: Remember how he talked about positive jinxing, or something like that? Maybe he's trying to help us with our studies.

Kristy: Oh my Watcher, cuz, don't tell me you're superstitious too! Why has everyone started to talk ab-

Kit: Please stop ruining the movie…

Kristy: You knew that this movie has woohoo in it, didn't you? You just want to rub it in that I want a partner.

Kristy: Just like someone else has been doing all the time lately.

Daisy: Oi! Leave me and Cameron out of this, you selfish llama!

Kit: *Tries watching the movie*

Daisy: This movie is boring, plus I'm hungry and I want to call Cameron over.

Bruce: I'm ditching too.

Kit: I promise it'll get better, we haven't gotten to the interesting part yet.

Kristy: Sorry, but I think everyone stopped listening.

Janie: Can't y'all be nice to Kit?

Daisy: Do you want to stay over or just go for a quickie?

Cameron: I mean… I kinda wanna stay over, but I don't think that's the best idea with the term starting tomorrow.

Daisy: Quickie it is then. All my roomies are home though, so we have to be discreet.

The next morning

Janie: Morning, cuz, any plans for today, except for lectures?

Kristy: Bot Savants build meeting.

Janie: Are you wearing that to Bot Savants?

Kristy: What's wrong with this?

Janie: Aren't you gonna use machines and stuff? Long sleeves seems rather dangerous, what if you get stuck in something?

Kristy: That won't happen.

Janie: Watch it happen only because you said it won't.

Kristy: Why is everyone so superstitious? Give me a break.
