#mod cosmos - universe of flowers

[fictional-other-tarot]

Are you still active?

Perfect time to answer this.

Not really.

I wasn't expecting this much traction so I got overwhelmed and was too afraid to check the blog again. I'm dealing with massive burnout irl as well so this was just too much for me to take on. That's why I've been gone for almost two years now.

Still not cool of me to just disappear without saying anything, but I do still want to come back to this blog.

For now, I've closed the askblog so I can slowly get to the 40 something asks in there. This will take me a long time, as I'm still dealing with a lot irl too. So you might still be waiting months for a letter.

After that, I don't know if I'll open it up again. I'll work on revamping the blog so it's more focused on weekly letters. Personalized letters might become a thing for celebrating milestones.

Again, I'm so sorry for disappearing for so long without saying anything. I should've let you guys know at least.

Hello! Thank you for amazing fic suggestions so far. You’re all doing an excellent job and you’re doing the fandom such a great service ❤️❤️

Do you have any E rated fic recommendations with the pre fall Crowley we see in season 2?

Hi and thank you! Here are a couple for you...

Practical Sex Education by BoredPerson69 (E)

After the creation of the universe, Aziraphale teaches Angel-Crowley how humans will breed. With a practical demonstration.

The Human Manual by cheeseplants (E)

Angelic Aziraphale and Crowley (i.e. the Star Maker) discover they can Make an Effort for the first time in Heaven. ------ No one was sure who had created The Human Manual. He suspected it had been God. It was not up to angels to decide how things were going to be. Instead, they carried out the tasks and plans of God. Therefore, this piece hanging between the human’s legs must have been designed by God. Aziraphale found that strange, as God created beautiful majestic things. The Garden of Eden, Peacocks, Flowers, the Sun… and then this. 

atlas hands. by afogocado (E)

Two angels meet in the cosmos. Then meet again on opposite sides of a great war. And finally, meet in love.

((Covering some of SA2 and a little bit of Heroes (And technically a few other games as well) this time. In this version of SA2, Knuckles seeing Eggman and Rouge enter the base was actually a cunning trick from the two of them. But luckily Cosmo repaid Tails' kindness in the first game by returning just in time to help the good guys have a fighting chance to stop the cannon in the sequel.

Also confirming that Cosmo would be a member of Team Rose in Heroes and beyond. Don't mean anything against Big the Cat (I've never hated him really) but... in the hypothetical universe Cosmo was a canon character AND debuted in the same game as he did? It just makes more sense. It's called Team Rose, a flower, Cosmo's a plant girl. And the team is meant to be the girl power team (In development, Rouge was almost the 3rd member but that was before they chose to bring back Shadow). Perhaps the problem would be it's harder to pinpoint who would be the power character... That is if you forgot about Amy's hammer. I could picture it like this: Team Rose being unique in that Amy's able to switch stances between Speed and Power (When in power mode, she'd be carrying her hammer. While in speed, she'd not be wielding anything). While Cosmo and Cream have different advantages in flight. Cream would be better at going high up. While Cosmo's gliding skirt let's the team go more horizontal distance (Though definitely drifting slowly downward)

The picture of Cosmo in SA2 is a mod of her over Sonic made by MillowDow. Those who have the Steam version of SA2 can find that mod here. Just a heads up though, most of her sounds are still Sonic's. So just be wary of that

I should also link to Chao World Extended since that's also how I got a Tails chao. If for any reason you have SA2 on Steam, love the chao gardens but haven't tried CWE? I'd recommend you fix that as soon as you can))

Hindu Creation Stories

@randomacts13​ asked:

Hi! So, I’m writing a webcomic and one of my main characters is a Indian American teenager (he’s 14 at the beginning of the comic). As a part of the webcomic chapters are separated by little info pages (to help world build). The first one of these for Avi is a bedtime story told to him by his mom. I’d really love to use the Hindu creation story since Avi’s Hindu and I want to make that super clear to the readers. My issue is, I’m not Hindu and I don’t want to leave an important piece out of it or be unintentionally offensive in how I’m telling it. 

I’ve structured the story like my own mom did when she was telling us religious stories as bedtime tales:

Before there was an Earth or a sky, there was Vishnu and there was a great snake. Vishnu was protected and safe deep within the coils of the snake, who floated upon the waters of the endless ocean that was the universe. Then, energy began to grow and with it, a lotus from Vishnu’s belly button. Inside the lotus was Brahma.

Brahma looked to Vishnu.

“It is time to begin,” Vishnu told Brahma. “Create the world.”

Then, a great wind came and the waters of the Universe grew turbulent. When Brahma next looked Vishnu and the serpent were gone and he was alone.

Brahma, determined to fulfill the orders of his master, took three lotus petals.

He stretched high into the sky and gave one petal to the heavens.

The second petal he formed into the Earth, barren and hard.

The final petal became the skies, the clouds, the stars, and the planets.

Then, satisfied with the canvas he had created, Brahma set to work. He touched the dry earth and rivers flowed, tenders flowers grew, and great trees soared toward the sky. He created animals and insects to live on the land and among the plants. He created birds and fish and laughed when they delighted in the sky and water. To all the creatures of the Earth he gave the senses to see and feel and hear and taste and smell their home.

Soon, the world was as we know it and Brahma was satisfied that he had fulfilled his master’s command.

For visual context: I’ve placed the text over a stylized starry ocean and a snake curled around a lotus.

I guess what I’m asking is this: Do you have any Hindu (or Indian American) mods or followers who could help me out with being culturally sensitive with regards to a pretty important bit of religion?

(Also, Avi’s not crazy religious (no more than any 14/15 year old) but if there are any things that he should be doing in daily life that internet research might talk about that would be awesome too!)

There’s not one single “the Hindu creation story.”  There are at minimum three; two are found in the Rig Veda where 

1) in the Hiranyagarbha Sukta an abstractly-conceived Divinity manifests the cosmos out of itself as a “golden womb” and 

2) my personal favorite, the Nasadiya Sukta, because it’s basically a non-answer that shrugs and says “meh, who knows what happened?”  (There are probably other Vedic creation stories I can’t remember right now, in addition to post-Vedic versions where it’s a goddess or divine feminine power responsible for creating the universe as opposed to a god.)  

In addition to those there are the stories found in the Puranas, which involve personified deities like Vishnu and Brahma (and Shiva if the destruction of the previous universe is told of as well), and more closely resemble what you outline in your question.  The common elements are: Vishnu lying on Sesha (the serpent), when the lotus emerges from his bellybutton, which unfolds, revealing Brahma, who creates the universe.

This is where you start to lose the established mythological thread, or at least diverge from what I personally know (so take what follows with the caveat that I don’t know every single Hindu scripture and version of a creation story—to do so may be impossible due to the sheer volume of the literature).  I don’t recall anything specific about the lotus petals being used for definite purposes in the creation process.  The actual process of creation is usually left vague; Brahma’s purpose is to create the universe so that’s what he does—how he does so is mostly irrelevant and left up to the imagination (so using the petals like you do isn’t necessarily wrong, you just may want to mark it as poetic license taken by the person who tells this story within your story).

The one detail you have that I would say is generally regarded as incorrect is referring to Vishnu as Brahma’s “master.”  Vishnu is rarely considered to be Brahma’s “master,” although he’s typically depicted as more powerful and is usually the one who fixes things when Brahma screws up (such as by granting superpowers to demons and such).  In Hindu cosmology, gods often pray to each other, which can be confusing but the implication is not that there’s a consistent power imbalance between two gods just because one prays to the other sometimes. It’s not like western or Abrahamic religions in that regard. 

  When depicted together, Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva are usually considered to be kind of the “holy trinity” of Hinduism, and are co-equal.

[fictional-other-tarot]

im curious do you use the tarot cards to help you write the letter? id like to do something like this for myself and id just like to understand a lil more how it works if youd rather like answer me privately i can come off anon too dkjh

Hello there!

I think tarot is very personal so while I don't mind telling how I do things, I do want you to remember that the way it works best for you might be different, so don't be afraid to try out different methods.

Also under a read more because I ramble a lot.

I use one tarot deck and multiple oracle decks, even some selfmade ones. I also don't pull the top cards after shuffling, but wait until a card falls out (which sometimes leads to more cards than originally intended).

I write the letters by focussing on the character and to whom they are writing their letter (its why the only mandatory things you need to say to me to get a letter are the self insert's and fictional other's names) and pulling the cards with their names in mind.

Mentally I'm basically just repeating the phrase "A letter from … to …"

I don't particularly use a spread (where each card is pulled for a specific question, I used to do this before, but I thought it would be too draining for me for this blog), but I do have made a little guide for myself on how many cards to pull from which deck depending on the type of letter I write. If you are interested in that feel free to message me and I'll post it here, instead of keeping it in drafts.

So after the cards are pulled, I try to see the story they are telling. Most of the times there's a message that keeps returning in the cards, so I take that as the main message that needs to come through. (I even already had someone who had the exact same card twice, which is how I even got to know I accidentally had the same card twice in my oracle deck)

So it's trying to piece together the story, together with the type of letter they asked for. Like, an Ace of Cups for a loving letter I interpret more as "I truly love you for you", while in an encouraging letter it would be more like "Don't be afraid to embrace who you truly are" to me.

And then comes the hard part of actually writing the letter. I never know how to write letters and it's why I'm using tarot for this in the first place, I really wanted to give other selfshippers love from their f/o but never knew what to say. I even made oracle decks for myself with terms of endearment and letter endings/beginnings.

So writing the letter is really thinking about the story the cards are telling and trying to figure out how someone would write that down on paper.

They can be more vulnerable in a letter, and have more time to think their words through. So when for example the cards are talking about stress and anxiety, I try to think on how I would write to someone telling them that I want them to take care of themselves or that there isn't anything to worry about and of course that I'll always be there for them.

And also on which style to write it in more, while I'm most comfortable with a more drawn-out writing style (idk if me overexplaining myself here is any indication of that lmao), I do try to change that too depending on the vibes I get from the cards. Some readings have intense vibes, others more caring, and others are even very casual.

So yeah, sorry for the long anwser, I don't even know if this will truly help, but yeah, you can always ask me to explain it differently. Good luck on your own readings and remember to have fun! 💕

My light,

My love.

Have I told you, that you are the best thing to have ever happened to me. If not, shame on me, because you are and I should say it.

When I first met you I didn't know, but you've shown me so much. New sights, new emotions, new ways to handle life. I'm so grateful for that. You've helped me grow. When I hit rock-bottom, you were there to pull me up.

It's because of you that I've found beauty in life again. I see beauty in you, I see light in you. I love you so much. If it's you, I might even believe in fate, that we were fated to be.

You've saved me, you've made me happy. Can I make you happy too? Can I keep you safe too?

Please depend on me and let me show you love too.

How is it going over there? I hope my better half is doing alright.

I'm writing to you now because I've come to a realisation. When we first started dating, I thought I wasn't a jealous person. I knew you loved me and I knew I loved you. I knew we would be faithful to each other, I knew we were strong in that sense. Yet, my mind can't help but wander and conjure up horrible scenarios when we are apart. I know I shouldn't listen to those fears, but I can't help it, I can't help but fear you'll leave me behind. Silly, right?

Can I ask for you to soothe my worries, reassure me you're mine. I might be a little jealous, a little possessive even. I guess you just mesmerize me so much, I can't help but fall in love even more. You are too precious, I don't want to lose you. So when we meet, can I give you lots of love, lots of kisses? I want you to know just how big my love for you is.

See you soon,

You keep on looking back, and I'm here to say. Stop doing that. Look at the present. You shine so bright, you work so hard, and I want you to notice that too. You've achieved so much already.

Don't listen to those controlling people who only wish to bring you down. Try to embrace who you are. Try to be happy about who you are. Imperfect like all of us. I feel so safe with you, I want you to feel safe with me too.

You're so lovely, so please believe in yourself. Your dreams will come true, so don't worry to much and just move on forward.

Darling,

You are wasting your time again.

You continue to make plans, and worry over what might go wrong. But we both know, you already know what you need to do. You have to take that first step and start working towards what you really want.

You know how to get there already, so trust in yourself, trust that you will land where you need to. Dream big and then chase after that dream.

You have such a big fire in you, you can do anything you set your mind to. It's time to stop worrying and instead start acting, because the only one still holding you back is you.

Be brave, my dear.

With love,

My Dearest,

There's a storm brewing in you again. Energy and thoughts you are afraid to put out into the world seem to consume you. You seems antsy, trying so hard to find your place in the world, to be right from the very beginning.

So this is my reminder to you to slow down, to breathe. It's okay to be wrong, it's okay if getting where you want to be takes times. You are constantly changing, constantly growing. Try to calm your inner self for now, find peace in the slow moments.

You already belong in the world. You don't have to prove your worth. It's okay to take things slow. It's okay to find joy in the small things. We will always be there for you in this journey.

To my forever love, the one who completes me, my heartthrob.

I'm faced with a difficult decision. You see I know we haven't been together for long, but I do believe you are my soulmate. I fit together with you so well. I want to see and feel it even more, how perfect we fit together. And I feel the tension in the air between us, so I believe you want to know too. I am ready for this, but I need to know if you are too.

I want to know if you are ready, because once I have you in my arms I won't let go for some time. It's all I have been able to think about. Having you in my arms, caressing your body through your clothes, making you whine for me, making you desperate. Whispering in your ears about how a dirty slut you are, about what your friends would think if they could see you like this, about every little twitch you make desperate for more contact of my skin on yours. I think you'd be adorable like that, trying to hold out for as long as possible, but ultimately growing weak to my touch, letting loose of the boundaries you set upon yourself and letting sweet moans escape. Ah, I could listen to that for hours. Your voice is already heavenly enough as is, but to be able to hear my name leave your lips as sultry. I won't be able to handle that. I don't think I'd ever want to share that experience, so make sure you only ever moan out my name, when we are alone. As reward I'll make sure to make you cum as many times as you want. I'll make sure you experience your limit of pleasure. You don't have to worry about any marks you leave behind, I like the reminder that I was able to lose control like that.

It might become an intense night, if you say yes to me. So I'll make sure to take good care of you after. A massage, some food and water, a bath, cuddles, just tell me what you need and I'll give it to you.

So, will you let me love you tonight? I'll be waiting for your anwser, my doll.

With all my heart and soul,

Your f/o.

Surprised?

I bet you are.

However, how could I not write to you as we are on a crossroad. History is about to be made, of course I want to preserve even the smallest of moments of it.

You know I must thank you too, without your wrong choices I wouldn't have made it this far. How does it feel, to see everything slip away between your fingers?

I quite like the direction we are headed, so I know you must hate it. We were fated in that sense, what was right for one of us, was wrong for the other. Though I know I was more right than wrong, would you disagree with that again? We could argue for hours on end about the most trivial of things, but those days are over.

It's serious this time.

So as a last goodbye, once more thank you for bringing me this far, thank you for letting me be a menance to others, but I will win, no matter what it might take. Prepare yourself, because I'm coming to hunt you down.

Signed,

Your f/o.

What should we do if we suspect our letter might've been eaten?

You can always come into my askbox or dms for that!

If it's for the reblog game, I first write down all the letters on paper so I can always resend it.

If it's an ask you send to me, you can always say "I'm … and I send you an ask containing … have you received it?"

[fictional-other-tarot]

Would you consider adding a "Fandom known best" list of some kind? Just so we know what F/Os you can do best in-character?

I have been considering it (for the full day this ask has been in my askbox), but I honestly don't know if it'll be that useful. I know a lot of characters because of either tumblr people I follow or because I watched their source material once, but I don't know them enough to confidently say I know how to portray them. I'm not someone who rewatches a lot of shows, so there are only 3 fandoms I can give you for this, because it are the only 3 that I reread / rewatched / replayed / still am following meta blogs for. Even so, I might not even portray these characters (that I know way more of than any other) properly. So don't let fandom, and wether or not I know the character, stop you from sending in an ask.

So yeah, in short, I know Osomatsu-san, Ouran High School Host Club and Obey Me best.

[fictional-other-tarot]

Akabsksnkasn I wasn't expecting that many reblogs, but I'm determined so yes I will be giving one to all of you, it just... Might take a while.

Letters for the reblog game take about 15-20 minutes for me to write, so hopefully I'll be able to write a lot of them during the weekend.
