#magical compulsion

[withoutend]

g/t prompt 48

servant is under magical computation to follow orders

master unexpectedly shrinks small enough that servant can no longer hear coherent words and is not obligated to follow orders they cannot hear or comprehend

past instructions may still be in effect

if this includes orders to ignore their presence then it sets up an unaware scenario that lasts longer that it normally would

it could be ambiguous if servant is feigning ignorance

other people coming to the house could be the ticking clock pushing the master to fix the situation

master may have to convince servant to help them without relying on direct commands

alternate take - robot girl following asimovs three laws

If you haven't read Bartimaeus Sequence yet then oh my god read Bartimaeus Sequence. The titular character, a djinni, is mostly pretty nonchalant about it (because he's been dealing with it for 5,000 years) but being forcibly dragged to Earth by magicians' magic is painful, remaining on Earth is painful, being compelled to do dangerous things is painful. Like half the third book in the series is just Bartimaeus having so much chronic pain and fatigue that he can barely function.

And spirits can be straight up ordered to do something that harms themselves. Like if a magician really wanted to be a dick about punishing a djinni they could order them to juggle a set of silver balls or something.

"your wish is my command" is always used too ironically for my liking. wheres my genie whump. wheres my literally any type of whump where whumpee literally cannot disobey

Holy shit, Evan just gave Jammer his backpack. All of his possessions are in that backpack, that's an insane amount of trust for Evan to bestow.

So after I’ve finished the Chloe comparison post, I do want to draw some more. But I’m not sure what to do, therefore I decided to let you choose what you want to see next:

[vickyvicarious]

I shall try to cheer up when Arthur comes, or else I know he will be miserable to see me so.

A very sad contrast to the Harkers' beautiful communication. Particularly, to Jonathan's frank admission to Mina about his condition. He tells her that he has been mad and is uncertain about what, if anything, was real or simply dreaming.

Lucy has also been having horrible dreams. She's also feeling weak and in pain, and unaware of what the true cause is. But she tries to push through it, to downplay it, to put on a happy face so as not to upset Arthur.

Hi there! I was wondering if you know and could share any simple spells for making someone call/message us back? Thank you!

Dress a small candle with some form of drawing oil and/or powder and light it, raising your power and aligning the forces you work with in ways pertinent to your craft.

When ready, take up a Bay Leaf and write upon one face of it the full name of your target, as well as the phone number (or social media handle) they use to communicate with you. Say thrice, "I call on you, [Name]!" Flip over the leaf, and on the other side of it, proceed to write your own full name and phone number (or social media handle) that they use to contact you. Say thrice, "I cover you, [Name]!"

Take up a second Bay Leaf and repeat this process exactly. Once this is done, spread a bit of molasses and ground calamus root on the sides of each leaf that bear your target's name. Press and stick these leaves together, sandwhiching the molasses and calamus between them, with your information facing out from either side. When these are satisfyingly stuck together, use the flame of the dressed candle to ignite and burn the Bay Laurel, Molasses, and Calamus (ideally within a flame-safe vessel.) As it burns, give a thirteenth and final call of, "Ashes to Ashes; Dust to Dust; and [Name] to me—and [Name] to me!"

Give a call of conclusion to disperse the powers gathered, and collect the burnt remnants of the leaves. Allow the candle to burn down and take the Ashes from the spell outside to be scattered on the wind—that it might help to carry your desire to the target of your spell.

moral ocd is crazy. why tf do i feel guilty donating to charity just because it's met its goal when there are other charities that haven't

[kooldewd123]

"haha yeah i think i'm just not that big a fan of multiverse stori-" *suddenly remembers that i'm obsessed with twilight sparkle's canon alternate universe counterpart and how their differing life experiences shaped them into distinctly different people while still maintaining the same core character traits across worlds*

Intrusive thoughts are back, they are loud and horrible. I am so scared that something bad will happen to my loved ones because of me and my bad thoughts.

My psychologist once told me that this thing it's called "magical thinking OCD". She also reassured me that although these thoughts are heavy I really do not have the power to make something like a car crash happen just because for a second the thought of it crossed my mind.

What my psychologist said helped me rationalize but sometimes when the thoughts are many I still feel extreme anxiety and fear.

For me having this type of OCD means obsessions about being a bad person, fear of hurting people, and mental compulsions to avoid it. And it's really scary and consuming because it's all in my head and people don't see how stressed and tired I am from trying to push away the intrusive thoughts.

Talking about it it's not easy, especially because I fear that saying my thoughts out loud will make them even more concrete and I don't usually do this kind of post but I feel the need to say to everyone out there with this OCD type that you are not alone.

Always remember that they are "just" thoughts and that they can't define you as a peron and neither make people you love get hurt.

[berryclownboy]

still not over smeyer adding imprinting to twilight

the way it cheapens the narrative and serves no purpose other than for smeyer to tie Jacobs story in a neat and complete box

it absolutely negates and spits on the pain and character development Jacob was going through in eclipse and breaking dawn

It's not part of my practice, but I'm jotting down astrology info for fun and waahhhh It's fantastic for our ocpd brain, because there's an established set of data (the constellations, names, signs, ect) which makes organizing it into charts so easy and fun and satisfying ^.^

One thing that really bothers me in the OCD community is the way we fight over representation.

There are many different ways to experience OCD, because OCD has quite a vague definition, only describing the cognitive process and not going into specifics. And there's nothing wrong with that, it just means there are many different themes, different obsessions, different compulsions.

However the general public only knows OCD through incorrect stereotypes and media representation, which the OCD community attempts to fight. But it's happened in a sort of counterintuitive way.

It's started with the stereotype of OCD meaning you like things clean and organized as a quirk. Then people with contamination OCD and incompleteness OCD said "Actually, we don't do this because we think it's quirky, we do it because we feel in danger if we don't." But then people with magical thinking OCD, attempting to fight the original stereotype, said "No, OCD never looks like cleaning and organization. OCD is having irrational fears and compulsions that don't make sense, like flipping a light switch so your mother doesn't die." Then, in order to combat that stereotype that magical thinking people created, people with HOCD and ROCD said "No, OCD never looks like that. It looks like fearing hurting people or fearing that your partner doesn't love you."

That's where we're up to now, and I'm not looking forward to the next development, haha.

But as I said, OCD is a very broad disorder, it can be experienced in many different ways. None of those people were wrong about their OCD, but they were wrong about their OCD being the only kind of OCD. And many people know this, but still say things like "No, OCD doesn't look like that", full well knowing it can, because they want their type to get more attention. We don't need to do that. We should say "Yes, OCD can look like that, but it can't also look like this."

I don't know, just an observation.

the reason antipsych really appeals to me even as i am hesitatn about it is that i am in this paradoxical state as an insane person where i am too sane about my insanity and it led to many professionals dismissing my (usually correct) judgement. like i am cognizant of my delusions. there is a part of me that is like, you are delusional right now, but that doesnt stop me from believing it. when i explain this to a mental health professional, they tell me this is not delusion. i dont know how to tell you this but when you are unable to sleep because you are struck by the thought that your arm that is attached to your body may be an escaped convict that is out to get you the knowledge that that is illogical and impossible is unhelpful even coming from yourself.

like as soon as you are able to reflect on yourself with any level of self awareness and come to the conclusion that you need help you do not need help. it can only be forced onto you unwillingly. you can only be coerced into it. this is such a carceral system.

So, I created a space for anyone who is struggling with OCD, intrusive thoughts and magical thinking. It’s brand new and I’ll be posting there daily and will be available to answer any questions or offer support. If you are struggling please feel free to join even if you’re not diagnosed yet.

Pssst hi baba!! :D I wanted to toss a silly thought to you. Glenn and Jodie take the s1 kids to the beach (probably non-magic au). Glenn helps the kids bury a willing Jodie in the sand. I think they did a coin toss for it which Glenn won. The sand is shaped into the classic mermaid style. Probably has a sand sword in one hand and a guitar in the other. Later, Jodie and Glenn also prepare a water balloon fight. Jodie teams up with the kids against Glenn for a bit until Nicky and the twins switch sides. Feeling chilly today so I'm channeling the summer vibes haha

Hi Countless!!! THIS IS SO CUTE. I'm particularly weak for beach-related stuff cause the stuff during the beach episodes with the S1 kids (spooky stories, driving lessons, etc.) makes up some of my favorite moments in the show 🥺.

Hehe I can imagine the smug look on Glenn's face when he wins the coinflip. You said a sword but I can't help imagining a trident for Jodie King Neptune style hahaha (fuck this is making me think of mermaid AUs hehehehehe I'm such a sucker for mermaid AUs god damn it I'm a simple gal). Also thinking of Glenn teasing Jodie and making the kids laugh the whole time and Jodie feigning annoyance (but really he's having fun, and happy to see Nicky having a good time with the other kids).

Aaaaw and the water balloon fight is really cute too <3. Love the twins and Nicky switching sides to help Glenn- for a small sec I was like "hm is that unbalanced?" but actually I think Grant and Terry would be quite effective in a water balloon fight tbh haha (*especially* Grant he doesn't miss lmao).

:3 Thanks for the ask Countless!
