Oh if only you could hold it in your hand and really see how automaton-y it is! The body is like a yoyo shape with a yellow gap/indent separating the two distinct front and back plates that are connected with a few thin flaps, and the limbs are connected in the sockets. Hard to explain. Also the feet and legs have protruding bits like stacked stones. The effect is very subtle and cool in person.

So many pointed ears! Cyberpunk and pointy ears, those are the themes this time.

If anyone here would like their username tagged in this post, just let me know! And headshots purchased through Ko-Fi will be posted as single images over on that page as well. ✨

Next stream should be January 14th!  And, like this time, I’ll be posting the sign ups for Ko-fi headshots on the 13th, a day ahead so folks can fill out the form.  I'll also try to keep my Twitch page schedule up to date, but I'll always announce things both here and on Twitter. 🖤

i love using Pokémon cards in witchcraft

Pokemon each come with a lot of associations that they, in my opinion, make great symbols for magic

for example, last night i cast an abundance spell. in addition to other things, i used this Tropius card in my spell

Tropius is a Pokemon who grows bunches of bananas from its neck, literally growing abundance from itself. this card in particular has a move that references growth of abundance. as a lifelong Pokemon fan, these associations with Tropius were already strong in my mind, so this was a useful symbol to me

another card i like to use is this Cleffa card

i do most of my work with the moon or the stars, and the Cleffa line has a very strong association with both, as well as with cosmic magic in general. it’s shaped like a star, it came down from the moon and evolves with a Moon Stone, it dances under the full moon, heals with the moon’s energy, uses moonlight to fly— the list goes on with its connections to the moon, the night sky, and magic. this card in particular also looks like Cleffa is calling out to the night sky, or just celebrating it

having this card near me, holding onto it, or having it as a part of my altar help me feel a little more connected to the energies of the moon and stars. again, its a powerful symbol because of all the associations i attribute to it due to my lifelong connections with Pokemon

so, if you’re a witch and a huge Pokemon nerd like me, maybe try using a Pokemon card in a ritual sometime! pick one out that closely matches your intentions ((with thousands of cards, there’s bound to be some great matches)) and give it a shot!

I Arrive! I'll focus on PCM and the general questions for ya here (one from the PCP section but Teeeeeechnically it can be a PCM question)

Would you ever consider doing PCP/PCM based on fanfiction, or something like fanfiction?

What is the most intensive project you've undertaken involving one of your pop culture sources?

What was the easiest thing to adapt from your source's magical system? The hardest?

If you had the choice, what fictional species would you want as a familiar or other form of spirit companion?

Do you practice divination methods based on a PCM series?

Enjoy! I shall return! Away with me, the inbox gremlin!

Ask Game: Pop Culture Paganism/Magic

Would you ever consider doing PCP/PCM based on fanfiction, or something like fanfiction?

As a prolific fanfiction writer (though very rarely do I actually post it), I must stress that my fanfiction and headcanons both end up influencing my craft. Through writing fanfiction, I get a better view into how I approach the media, and that helps with tapping into the source for magical purposes.

As for doing that stuff based on fanfiction, I would do it based on my own fanfiction. I actually got two MTG spells from @crimsonsongbird based on two fan characters characters (Jaren Rakdoson and Mathias Markov) from my Blood and Songbirds fanfic. Considering how much those two are changing since then, I may do spells based on their current states...or I might wait until shit hits the fan in my major sequel fanfiction >:3c

What is the most intensive project you've undertaken involving one of your pop culture sources?

I've shown you some of the details, but that would be my Elder Scrolls Online-inspired enchanting method, including hand-making all of the runes on wooden flats in the appropriate shapes and building an entire Hireling Sliver Hivemind Linking Sigil System because I could not be fucking assed to manually charge every single fucking rune because there are 56 fucking runestones (32 Potency, 19 Essence, and 5 Aspect) and I'm not about that. I still need to work on the "not Sliver focused" rune charging method before I launch it, because I'm not forcing you all to learn about Slivers.

What was the easiest thing to adapt from your source's magical system? The hardest?

For Magic: The Gathering, that would be the five Colors and turning cards into spells. I've done a lot of that (and still have a bunch left to do...) and it's gotten pretty damn easy for me. Hardest would be trying to figure out how to make World Enchantments work for this. I hate them.

For The Elder Scrolls, I am going to personally fight the design team for changing what school the various effects fall under every single fucking game. As for easier spells, uh...hilariously, it's Dragon Shouts that I find easiest to adapt? I'm gonna try to blend those with one of the Animalself exercises from Werewolf Magick by Denny Sargent and see what happens.

For Pokemon...honestly this source has fallen to the wayside in my practice. But I find it easier to make spells based on the moves and types instead of individual Pokemon.

If you had the choice, what fictional species would you want as a familiar or other form of spirit companion?

I actually have a Charmander Pokefamiliar! I just. Haven't worked with him in a while. I should reach back out to the little guy. And as previously established, I've built a linking sigil system out of Slivers, which is very easy considering they already have the boosting-each-other and hive mind stuff going on in MTG canon.

Although if I got the choice, I would adore having a Storm Atronach buddy. I could benefit from having a guy with me to zap the shit out of my enemies considerign where I live. And Storm Atronachs are cool as shit.

Do you practice divination methods based on a PCM series?

*pointed look at Bayard the PokeOracle*

I own several fandom-based tarot and oracle decks and most of them suck, but I've talked about that before on @jasper-tarot-reader.

I tried to make two oracle decks out of MTG cards before with particular themes, but I didn't like how they came out. I'm currently thinking about adapting my existing Commander decks to do something similar, perhaps in sync with my Modal Commander Servitor idea... It's very much just in the musing phase, though.

Thanks for sending all of these, Khajiit!

One of my favorite tropes in fantasy is dragons vs fairies and it's a shame it doesn't come up more

[someplantsandsomeghosts]

What Am I Doing?

I’m combining witchcraft with the Pokémon games.

To start, I’m using the Pokémon Database as a reference and using primarily Gen 7 movesets, if a Pokémon comes in after Gen 7 I’ll use the movesets from their generation. ~~~

Every day I work with a Pokémon they go up a level, they learn moves as usual and if leveling up is all they need for evolution they’ll evolve as usual.

For moves learnt from level one, if there's more than four moves available I'll roll four dice and pick them base of the numbers I role, if there's only one move I'll choose an egg move to balance it out.

For evolution that requires a level and trading, I just go with the level. If it requires trading but not a level I’ll double the level they evolved from or just go with the first two numbers of their Pokédex Number, excluding zero, if the trade is for the Pokémon’s second stage. If it requires an item at all I need to find something as close to the item as possible and use it with leveling up or on its own, I also have to safely dispose of the item once it's used to evolve my pokemon. And if i requires a specific place I’ll also try to find a location similar to it. Examples: - Trading, 3rd and/or Final Stage: Gastly evolves into Haunter at level 25, so Haunter evolves into Gengar at level 50. - Trading, 2nd and/or Final Stage: Phantump’s Pokédex Number is #708, so Phantump evolves into Trevenant at level 70. - Trading & Item, 3rd and/or Final Stage: Duskull evolves into Dusclops at level 37, so Dusclops evolves into Dusknoir at at least level 74 and when I have the real-world equivalent of a Reaper Cloth. - Trading & Item, 2nd and/or Final Stage: Onix’s Pokédex Number is #95, so Onix evolves into Steelix at at least level 95 and when I have the real-world equivalent of a Metal Coat. ~~~

My starter Pokémon is the one I get the choose, the rest of the Pokémon I add to my party will be the ones who, in a way, choose me. If I see something, or if something happens, I’ll take it as a possible sign and see if any Pokémon fit it I'll add them to the team, regardless of the Pokémon.

Guardian of Alola, a ward calling a Tapu of your choice for very potent protection

Guardian of Alola, a ward to protect yourself, your family and your home Items Needed:

A small statue or image representing the Tapu you wish to evoke Incense or herbs associated with protection (such as sage, lavender, or frankincense) A white candle A bowl of purified water Ritual Steps:

Find a quiet and peaceful space to perform the ritual without interruptions. Cleanse the space by burning the protection incense and allowing its smoke to purify the area.

Place the statue or image at the center of your altar. Surround it with the other items you have gathered, arranging them in a respectful way

Light the white candle, close your eyes, and take a few deep breaths to center yourself. Call upon your chosen Tapu with reverence, speaking from your heart.

Dip your fingers into the bowl of purified water and sprinkle it around the altar 5. Recite a prayer respectfully asking your chosen Tapu for its protective blessings. speak from the heart and watch out for signs of the prayer being heard

Express your gratitude to the Tapu for its presence and protection. Blow out the candle to symbolize the end of the ritual, but keep the energy of the Tapu's protection alive in your heart and mind.

Results: ever since i've done the ritual, nasty spirits that once haunted and taunted me no longer can even enter my house, my family and i have been recovering from the effects of negative energies and have noticed astral stains in the general vicinity of my home that indicate that curses are being sent back to the sender or unraveled too, i recommend calling upon Tapu Koko during this ritual since he is also a war god and thus according to my experiences the ritual's lent extra potency

do you even know why I am here?

[trueacedmoreno]

Every fan in the world agrees that the eggs just spawn to not include in the game for children that their pocket monsters fuck like animals.

I personally like the interpretation that Arceus (Pokémon God) quite literally magicks the eggs into existence.

Until this past year I'd never actually played any of the Pokemon games except for Pokemon Go and now I've played some and apparently the eggs in Pokemon aren't *actual* eggs, they're just something that shows up when two Pokemon are left alone together and may actually be incubators rather than eggs

now

this is stupid as fuck

and I am officially declaring a change to the Pokemon canon where the eggs in fact ARE eggs, all Pokemon lay eggs, any mammalian Pokemon is a monotreme, even the ones that are clearly marsupials, they all lay eggs

not only do they lay eggs, but they form nests

please imagine a Meowth delicately sitting on some eggs in its Meowth nest

that is all

thank you

Magical Girl Noel!

The main protagonist of Noel and the Tower of Doom and a pseudo self insert character. She used to be a human boy named Noah, but was transformed into a female alfar (fairy, or elf depending on how you look at it) when the incursion happened and fused the world of man with the world of magick. This caused Noel's male, human self on the human side to merge with his female alfar "other self" on the magick side, and since the Noel on the other side was her "true form" her new combined form mainly took physical characteristics from her female alfar self. Turns out Noel was a trans girl this entire time, and is rather happy with the transformation.

Sterling Snow, leader of the American branch of O.P.T.I.C. (Occultic, Paranormal, and Temporal Intelligence Commanders), a secret UN-run organization that manages and investigates supernatural, paranormal, and temporal anomalies, fills in Noel on what is happening, and brings Noel along for her journey into the Enochian Pillar Fornax-3, the first of many enochian pillars that have to be disabled in order to stop the false one's plans. On her journey Noel also recruits her younger brother Goliath, a once bedridden, sickly young man who was transformed into a muscular and well-trained frost dwarf, and Zed, a mysterious masked swordswoman with an even more mysterious past.

Eventually Noel and the gang begin taking out the False One's delusional beasts, the guardians of the tower, and learn more about Zed's dark past. It turns out Zed was actually from a previously destroyed starsphere named Olgard, and was actually acquainted with Seraphim Kairos, though they were not on good terms at all. It turns out Zed was actually a projection of the false one's powers taking the form of Zed based on Seraphim Kairos' darkest fears, and was an unknowing spy and sleeper agent for the false one. Eventually Zed is released from the false one's control thanks to Kairos' intervention, and the team continues up Fornax-3.

In one timeline, the team reach the top of the tower and defeat the administrator of the tower, a wizard-like delusional beast known as Magistrate. Magistrate calls on the power of Archon Eos to transform into his ultimate form Magus-Eos, but is defeated. The tower is then disabled and soon after self-destructed by bombs Sterling's O.P.T.I.C. team placed on the parameter of the tower. Everyone seems to be falling to their deaths but at the last minute Noel learns to fly with her wings she's had this entire time and saves everyone. The team then travel across the world disabling the Enochian Pillars across America, and assist the other groups of heroes in defeating the false one once and for all.

In another timeline, Noel and her allies are able to disable all the Enochian Pillars worldwide thanks to disarming the "central dogma", the psychic battery powering all the enochian pillars across the planet. This central dogma is actually alive and is in reality the Pokemon Mewtwo, who the team defeat in his corrupted form. Mewtwo thanks the party before using his powers to disable all the enochian pillars worldwide, and leaves to his own starsphere of Arkus. While on this journey to the central dogma Zed, Goliath, and Starling confront their pasts and their fears and ascend, becoming ever stronger in preparation for the final battle against the False One.
