#shininess doesn't change your magic aura

I do wonder what a shiny Jaques would be?

Silver instead of bronze! And he has the aquamarine eyes expected of Rupert and Minnie

The Story of Psyche

Long before the events of this au, Psyche, an Earth fairy, was born. During her time the mindset that you are supposed to rise above your emotions was practically ingrained from the moment you could start comprehending words. This mindset created a disconnect between people and their magic, it was considered extremely rare to even gain a Charmix and at that point people weren’t able to narrow down exactly how these Charmix holders were attaining it.

It was even more amazing when Psyche, one of the already rare Charmix holders, was able to attain an even higher fairy form that came with unimaginable power, the Enchantix. She became the very first Guardian Fairy.

The magic dimension was not in the best shape at that time. There was constant conflict and Psyche ended up having to be the one to resolve the more dangerous situations but each one would wear her down a little more.

Eventually, Psyche realized that things couldn’t continue the way they were. She poured over ancient texts and spoke to as many ancient magic users as she could when she came to the only solution she could find to her problem. She would have to change the way that people viewed the entire dimension.

Psyche spent months going over the intricacies of what she was about to do and when she was ready she used all her power to cast a spell that would tie people’s magic firmly to their souls allowing for more and more people to achieve harmony with themselves and the magic dimension.

Ultimately this spell was too much for her to handle and she faded away but the effects of her spell lasted for centuries. By the time the majority of her magic had faded away the magic dimension had drastically changed the way they viewed both themselves and magic. Though there are still remnants of her spell residing in the soul of every magical creature.

The entirety of the magic dimension was forever altered because of Psyche, the Fairy of the Soul.

---

So! As promised, I will explain a little in depth as to the route that I'm going with this AU and Psyche's influence on the redesigns and the story in general.

Every magical creature is very intimately connected to their magic. To the point that they embody aspects of that magic.

We'll start with Stella. She is the fairy of the sun and moon, and yes I am 100% adding back the moon aspects of her power because I was super disappointed that they never used it to its full potential and eventually disregarded it entirely, which pretty much boils down to light in general. She is the epitome of light. She runs much hotter than the normal person to the point that she emits almost a bubble of heat around her at all times. She's not affected by the cold at all, she is the type to walk around in winter weather in a mini-skirt and tank top, she just doesn't because she adores winter fashion. She also glows. Literally. It a pretty faint glow when she's not in her fairy forms, only really noticeable in a dark room, but still there. Her powers are going to be stronger in the daylight, for obvious reasons, but she's not powerless at night unless it's a new moon. She'd still be able to cast very small spells, just the basic everyday magic that anyone can do, but nothing like her normal power range.

Onto Bloom now. Being the fairy of the dragon fire grants her quite a few major differences. She's obviously more dragon-like in personality and appearance, the appearance part mostly effects her transformations. She has a slight hoarding habit, it's not disastrous but she does tend to collect shiny and/or valuable stuff. A lot of the things she gets are gifts from family and friends because it's almost guaranteed she'll love it. She's also very heat-loving. Winter is hard for her, it's not as bad in her fairy form, because she has to dress very warm otherwise she ends up struggling to stay awake. She does have a naturally threatening aura that makes people- mostly normal humans- and animals very uncomfortable, though people don't really know why, they just instinctively know that she's dangerous. Needless to say that Kiko is not in this AU at all. She probably would have given the poor bunny a heart attack just by looking at him. This is not at bad in magical creatures, although the smaller ones like pixie pets still instinctively avoid her. She has much better luck with dragons. :)

Flora, being the fairy of nature, tends to have small flowers and vines growing out of her hair at any given time. Much like Bloom, she needs to take precautions during the winter to avoid going into a hibernation-like state. Not much changes about her personality wise, she's already kind but also more than willing to fight when it calls for it. She does keep heat lamps in her room and turns them on when she wants to relax, or when it gets cold.

Musa! Again, nothing much changes about her personality wise but her magic effects her much more than in canon. She has exceptional hearing but does have some issues processing everything she hears at once so she wears noise cancelling headphones to help her filter everything out easier. She also takes precautions in her room by soundproofing everything, so she can sleep without headphones on.

Aisha is pretty down to earth which is a funny way to describe a water fairy but it fits. She tends to go with the flow most of the time but she is ultimately determined to carve her own path. Her magic allows her to breathe underwater both in and out of fairy form and she does has patches of scales around her hips even outside her transformation thanks to her relation to mermaids. She also has a wonderful singing voice that does tend to entrance people a bit, which she and Musa have fun with. I'm still working more on her to be honest. There is a lot of reference material on sirens/mermaids to choose from, though I am clearly leaning more on the siren aspect.

Finally, we have Tecna. I have a lot planned for Tecna but we'll start with the basics. She is very connected to technology but she's also very determined not to let it consume every part of her, which is going to be a common theme on Zenith. That being said she is the fairy of technology so she does have some changes. She has a tendency to overheat if she tries to do too much at once. She keeps her areas fairly cool so she can do things smoothly and summer is the bane of her existence. She has a million things going at once all the time but she makes it work!

Surprise bonus character! Roxy. Yes, Roxy is going to be a minor character in this AU. I've changed her age a little bit so she's only a year younger than Bloom. Roxy tends to reflect select traits of whatever animal that she's around at the time. Most of the time it's Artu. She also has a track record of animals just following her around everywhere. People frequently joke about her being a Disney Princess.

A little bit of background on Bloom and Roxy in this AU. They kind of grew up being outcasts together, their parents were very relieved that they found each other. It was especially great for them because in this AU magical creatures have a tendency to gravitate toward each other. Roxy is also the only reason Bloom has ever been able to pet a dog because of most animals avoiding her like the plague. Artu, is wary of her but also understands at this point that she's not going to hurt him.

While they both give off ambient magic, like most other magical creatures, their full potential was dormant most of their lives. For Bloom, it activated when she came into contact with Stella actively using magic. For Roxy, it activated after the attack on Bloom's house where there was so much ambient magic still in the air. Of course, Roxy didn't really notice anything until much later and began practicing on her own. She'll become a full fledged member of Alfea the next school year.

Also, a little note. Selina does not exist here. Nothing against her necessarily but her entire existence never made much sense to me to begin with. Her addition kind of threw off a lot of stuff continuity wise, in my opinion. Especially with her being so closely tied to Bloom. So, I'm completely cutting her out.

A little bit of extra info in general. I will not be including all of the fairy forms. I'll only for sure be including the winx, charmix, and enchantix forms. I have some ideas for sirenix as well but I'm not sure how that's going to fit into everything story wise. But Believix is not going to exist at all. I love it but I don't like the idea of an entire transformation hinging on finding a non-magical world and getting them to believe in magic. Also, it's just not going to be relevant to the story.

That being said, I will be giving Charmix it's own form instead of just an addition to their normal forms. I already have some sketches of Stella's, I just have to get everyone else's down. I will also be redesigning the enchantix and sirenix transformations. Enchantix because I want it to fit the story more and sirenix because I never liked those designs in the first place. I have a lot of issues with the later transformations in general because they really just became the same thing for every girl but different colors. It was like they lost their individuality and I don't like that.

I will also mention that not everything is 100% set in stone yet. It's all still a work in progress so you're all seeing things as I go about creating it. I may change some of the designs that I have already posted, like I've already decided that Musa definitely needs a nose ring and I'm disappointed it took me so long to come up with that. Either way, that's just a warning. The main concepts I've already come out with will be staying the same though just minor detail changes, don't worry!

If you have gotten this far, thank you! It took forever to type all this out so forgive me if it seems a little jumbled but I'm tired of looking at this so I'm not doing any more editing on this post. I hope you enjoyed the lore dump!

So you want to use tasty, tasty rocks and minerals in crystals in your correspondence magic.

Problem is, a lot of metaphysical sources don't cite their sources. Good folklore books, additionally, can be hard to find or acquire. Especially the ones that may give you a lead on ancient magical uses of various stones!

That's where science comes in. Good old GEOLOGY FACTS and LOGIC can show you where you can use stones in your spells when all else fails.

I already told you humans the difference between crystals and rocks and minerals and why it matters to spiritual folk. (We'll be using "stone" to cover all these categories in this post.)

Here's part 2: how to use science as correspondence inspiration. This will help you develop personal associations with the rocks as well.

When you have a stone, ask...

🔮 HOW'D THIS LITTLE TURD FORM?

How or where ye olde earth birthed your stone will give you hints as to its potential powers and associations. If you know the name of your stone, likely you can easily look it up on Google.

If it's a rock, for example, it might be...

Igneous. These rocks form when magma/lava cool. Good for fire magic, perhaps?

Sedimentary. These rocks form when layers of existing rock and other material glomp together. Decent for community magic, maybe?

Metamorphic. These rocks form when existing rocks change under pressure or intense heat. Great for transformation magic, perchance?

If you know where your stone was mined, think about that, too!

Of course, it may also be synthetic, or man-made. This is fine, because any object can have power, even if it's "unnatural." (You humans sure are obsessed with drawing a line between you and "nature.") But only you can decide if this will shape how you use it in spells.

🔮 THE HECK IS THIS STONE SHAPED LIKE?

This is one of the easiest aspects of your stone to figure out, since, like, it's right there.

For example, is your stone tumbled or carved? These are qualities you can use in any spell. A skull-shaped piece of quartz likely has a different vibe than a simpler tumbled round piece, y'know?

Orrrr...maybe your stone's natural? If so, what's its overall "habit" (general shape)? Prism-like? Plant-like? Needle-like?

🔮 HOW HARD IS THIS STONE?

Some stones are soft little boys and some are battle-hardened Warriors of the Big Tough. If you scratch the stone gently with your fingernail, does it leave a mark? How deep? Does powder come off of the stone?

Of course, sometimes a stone is too important to scratch like a poopy little kitty. In that case, most stones lie somewhere on the Mohs scale. If you know what kind of stone you have, you can likely Google its hardness on said scale.

All this, obviously, is just another property of the stone to note. If you're into correspondence magic, how might you use a very hard stone in a spell vs. a soft one?

🔮 WHAT'S THIS STONE'S COLOR?

Obviously, you'll want to take note of the stone's color and what connotations that brings up for you personally. One human's red isn't another human's red, as it so happens.

If the stone's synthetic, it's still fine to take note of its color. Angel aura quartz, for example, may not have come out of the ground all Rainbow Like That, but that doesn't mean it's any less Rainbow Like That.

Also take note of the stone's luster, or shininess. Like, is it shiny? And what kind of shiny? Is it metallic, glass-like, or more waxy? Think about the associations that might have when you use it in spellwork.

Finally, look at how transparent your stone happens to be. It may not be transparent at all. Or only a little. Or only in bits. Where might that quality come in useful for your spells?

🔮 HOW DO SCIENCE HUMANS GROUP THIS STONE?

There's a hundred thousand ways that scientists group various crystals and rocks and minerals depending on the various weird little traits they have. It's worthwhile to look those up and see what you find.

For example, minerals come in numerous flavors:

Oxides, which are combinations of metals and oxygen, like pretty much any ore,

Carbonates, which are a combination of oxygen, metals, and carbon, like malachite,

Silicates, which are a combo of oxygen and silica and include all quartzes ever,

...and many more.

How might these natural groupings affect your spellwork?

🔮 IN CONCLUSION

Use science where you don't have personal connections to a stone or are unsure a stone's traditional magical uses.

Uh. I don't give a rat's butt about actually concluding these things so just remember I also did a post on the difference between crystals and rocks and minerals and why that matters for a witch.

More later.

Blessings, cubs!

Ok, so im guess im going with the Stardew Elder Gods AU.

Heres some headcanons / ideas i have for it while its a WIP. Everything is liable to change. :]

In this au its a forest farm.

Deities are Sans, fell, and horror

Current ideas for names for this au (feel free to give suggestions! These arent permanent) Sans- hibiscus, fell- Zinnia, horror- elm (camperdown elm)

The boys totally follow the you around in the edge of the woods and stuff.

Im thinking ... Sans is guardian of the deep forest, horror the coast / ocean, and fell the mines.

50 or 60 percent of the time they will take you home instead of other people. Also no one steals from you after a certain point because they think you're cursed or magic or something.

Wizard, Caroline, Linus, and Abby are the only ones who aren't freaked out by you having dieties basically stalk you.

Sans will occasionally prolong the life of your plants despite the season change. Just so your hard work doesn't go to waste <3

Fell will sometimes find better loot from lower in the mines and place it in little nooks and crannies for you to find to help you on your journey through.

Joja is always covered in crows and ravens. Pierre's also will sometimes have birds lurking around.

On occasion you will recieve a packet of seeds from a bird on your mail box.

Tons of shiny shells and stuff on the beach. If you fish a lot like me there will be more bubble things that pop up.

More crabs in your catcher thing.

Blobs of trash that will wash up on the beach, that if you pick up and throw away, will trigger more shiny shells and better catches <3

They arent too bothered by you chopping down trees in your own yard, they understand that you are replacing them with food and things you need. Just don't destroy the local environment.

The little apple creatures and stuff will be seen more often and less scared.

Abby sometimes talks about feeling an aura following you. An old and magical aura (boys being creeps and following / blessing you lol)

They totally sway and follow you with their eyes when you dance at any festival and root for you when you join competitions <3 they wish they could dance with you.

When you realize they're there and start to accept them they will follow you around your farm. Even when you're working lol.

If you fuss at them for following you or stay in town for too long then they will hang around your farm. Who needs scarecrows when you have deities?

Horror follow your footsteps under the docs. He loves it when you stop by to chill out or fish. If he found something cool that day he especially wanted you to have he'll hook it to your line.

_______

My first time ever doing headcanons so sorry if they're wonky. I'll practice to do better!

[simpuritysims]

Calypso: I'd teach you if I could! But our mummies can't even do it, and they've been doing wolf things for yeaaaars.

Elanya just pouted at her, with big shiny eyes.

Calypso: Pouting can't change reality Ela! Even if you do have magic. That we don't get!

Elanya: Magic is hard. And doesn't help me with homework.

Felan: Actually I think one of the auras boosts your smarts for a bit.

Elanya pouted harder.

Calypso: C'mon Ela, you're super smart. You telling me you need brain cheats just to do a few questions?

A beat. The pout slowly faded away. Elanya ducked her head and went back to scribbling answers on her paper.

Calypso bit back a giggle and glanced over at Felan, sharing a silent moment of amusement. She took the bait echoed somewhere between them.

mirror

An old mirror dirty enough to the point you can’t see your reflection anymore. Faust decided to take a better look at it. He never expected it to turn out as a lost relic from a once prosperous city.

“Oh dear me!” Snow gasped, putting his hand over his mouth to appear more shocked than he actually is. A thoughtful smile suddenly took over his expression not long after as he put his hands on his hips. “I would’ve never thought I’d see this again in this day and age.”

“You know what this is?” Faust’s eyes widened as he examined the mirror in his hands once more, its golden rim giving off a shiny gleam after recovering it from the ruins during their last expedition to the Eastern country. It managed to pique the hermit’s interest after seeing it lay bare on the ground in such a terrible state, wanting to recover it to its former beauty. In some way, it reminded him of himself.

“But of course! This was awfully revered back in the day by both humans and wizards alike. It’s a good thing that my weary self was able to remember it.” Snow chirped, taking a closer look at the mirror. “A relic from a once-famous city—a mirror that is said to have the ability to show you the future. After their downfall, no one had any idea about where the relic laid rest. Ohoho! You’ve come across an exquisite item indeed.”

“The ability to show me the future? That’s ridiculous. I just picked it up from the ground, there’s no way a mirror like this is a lost relic.” Despite the sureness from his words, his voice held a certain kind of doubt that believed Snow. There was no reason for someone like Snow to lie to him after all, there was simply no merit in doing so and Snow wasn’t one to lie about this sort of stuff just for his own amusement.

“You think I jest? I see, then why don’t you try it out for yourself?” Snow’s expression held a smug smile before he remembered something and he let out a small gasp. “I heard it was very moody and picky though, so it might not work on your first try.”

“A moody mirror? The more I hear about this mirror the more I think that it’s a joke.” Faust shook his head.

“Ohoho! Try saying ‘please and thank you’ to the mirror when you try.” What Snow said sounded like a tease but Faust knew well that he was being serious. He didn’t know which one was worse—he could only let out a sigh as he inspected the mirror again. Could a mirror truly tell him of the future? Such an item is far too dangerous to be left out in the open.

“Woah, so you’re telling me this mirror can show you the future?” You wandered inside Faust’s room back and forth but your eyes remained fixated on the mirror placed on his desk, its intricate golden design never failed to catch your interest. It was hard to believe such a thing was capable of showing you the future when all sorts of magic relating to that were either forbidden or extremely hard unless you were gifted with the gift of prophecy like the twins from the North.

Faust let out a sigh, he couldn't bring himself to believe it either but there were a lot of strange things in this world—this was just one of them. "Apparently," he pushed up his glasses as he took the mirror in his hands and looked at his reflection. "Do you want to give it a try?"

"Me?" You asked curiously, wondering why Faust would ask you such a thing but you weren't against the idea of the mirror showing you your possible future. Though you can't help but feel a little bit scared when you thought about the possibilities—there was nothing more terrifying than the unknown future, after all. Faust handed you the mirror and you stared at it blankly. With much hesitance, you nodded.

"I'll try… how does this even work in the first place?" You tried tapping the glass, wondering if it was some sort of touch screen mirror but you were met with disappointment when it did nothing.

"Snow said to try saying 'please and thank you' to the mirror, I don't know if that'll work though. He said it was moody." Faust let out a dry chuckle, the thought still ridiculous to him but never crossed it out as impossible. If the mirror would truly respond to something like that, it only proved the strangeness of this magical world. You shot him a strange look, a moody mirror? But you pushed back the doubt to the back of your head and put your trust in him instead.

"Mirror, can you show me the future? Pretty please?" You cooed, feeling a bit stupid for pleading to a mirror like this. You waited a few moments for a reaction while looking at the object expectantly, only to be met with utter disappointment when it did absolutely nothing. Faust was silent along with you until he let out a small laugh, did you look stupid when you were doing that? You questioned if Snow was just pulling both of your legs, that mischievous old man!

"As expected, it won't work just because we asked it to."

"Geez, Faust! Do you really think a shabby thing like this can show us the future?" Shabby was the last word you would use to describe the mirror had it not been for your rage towards its defect. It looked elegant and regal, as if it didn't spend centuries lying beneath some rubble—it was a miracle the glass wasn't broken by such heavy fragments lying atop of it. You shook your head and gave Faust the mirror, giving up on it after you added: "How about you try it? It might listen to you because you're the one that picked it up."

He shot you a hesitant look, he had a feeling this wasn't going to end well yet he pushed that feeling into the back of his mind and stared at his reflection—he caught a small glimpse of your face in it while you were looking away and he couldn't help but break into a small smile. At that moment, something changed.

The hand mirror shook slightly in his grasp. Faust, alarmed, tried to make it sit still by gripping it tighter but it proved to be futile when it flew from his grasp and a blinding light filled the room—eliciting gasps of shock from the both of you as Faust grabbed to shield you from whatever was emerging in his room. When the light disappeared, it took him a while to get adjusted to the sudden change but once he did, he saw the hand mirror transformed into a full-body one sitting in the middle of his room.

"What in the world…" Faust left your side to carefully inspect the area, making sure there were no more risks in the area before taking your hand while telling you it was safe—aside from the now huge mirror residing smack middle in his room, its golden glow giving off an intimidating aura. You felt your initial shock turn into excitement.

"Isn't this great? It responded to you! What did you say?" You asked him, curious. You weren't paying attention to him at that time, perhaps you missed something.

"Nothing, actually. It just started vibrating and this happened." Faust tipped his hat slightly, closing his eyes and let out another sigh. One strange thing after another, he was bound to be drained at the end of the day, wasn't he?

"That's strange, you didn't say anything and yet it responded to you… curious." You stroked your chin. Faust stepped into the mirror's view and nothing was out of the ordinary, it showed him nothing of the future, only his reflection. He paused, was it broken after being left there for so many centuries? It was a plausible explanation. It was just like a normal mirror now, it was a shame such a relic has lost its true value—eroded along with the years that passed.

That is, until you stepped into the view.

The moment you stepped into the view, everything that the mirror showed suddenly changed as it emitted a faint white glow. You closed your eyes for a second and you could hear the faint sounds of… bells? You opened your eyes slightly to look at the mirror only for Faust to slap his hand over your eyes to obstruct your vision before you could get a small glimpse of what changed.

A bunch of incomprehensible sounds fell from Faust's lips and you tried to remove his hand from your eyes but that just made his actions more frantic. He grabbed your wrist and dragged you away from the mirror to outside of his room. You tried asking him what his problem was but you were left unheard as he left you outside and shut the door to his room aggressively. By the time you tried making sense of the scenario, you were already staring at his door from outside—did he just kick you out?

Your mouth was wide open when the realization dawned on you—what was his problem!? You crossed your arms grumpily, a part of you wanted to knock on his door again to demand an explanation but another part wanted you to storm off without saying anything to him. You pouted, or was he trying to protect you from something dangerous? Magical items could be dangerous if not handled correctly, after all.

In the end, you didn't know what to do and rested your forehead against his door frame with a clenched fist ready to knock at any given time and a defeated look.

To say Faust panicked back there was an understatement, he felt as if his soul was about to leave his body right then and there when he saw the scene the mirror showed him. He could only breathe a sigh of relief, he was glad he acted quickly before you caught a glimpse of it—that would've made things worse and he wouldn't know what to do. He slumped against the door, feeling a bit light-headed and fuzzy, the heat refusing to leave his face. He was embarrassed.

The sight wasn't something particularly scary or tragic. In fact, it was the complete opposite—though that made it all the more confusing as to why Faust would stop you from looking at it. It was a scene that he saw in one of his many dreams, something that flustered him to no end and wished it would leave him alone.

The bells that rang in the background, the happy couple dressed in white as they looked at each other lovingly, a perfect wedding scene straight from the dreams Faust doesn't tell anyone. A perfect wedding scene of you and him in the distant future—together.

To think your fate was intertwined like this… Faust could only hope that it's a future that's bound to happen. But, right now, he can't let you find out about this lest he wants to live the rest of his life inside the forest hiding from you. He would simply pass away from sheer embarrassment, oh how would he even face you? His cheeks burned red at the thought of a wedding with you once again.

Cancer Moon Things [Positive]

Giving Love

Being able to tell people's feelings even from their texting style. Noticing when the person beside you is anxious and asking what's up. Hugging people when they tell you something sad. Not needing words to express love to someone, just holding them when they feel bad and giving off such a powerful wordless loving aura. But if they do need words, knowing exactly what the person wants to hear and making them feel completely engulfed in infinite love and protection.

Analyzing the peron's emotional makeup when alone if you haven't fully figured them out yet, just to make sure you're not gonna miss something important about them in the future[1]. Making note of the person's likes and dislikes automatically. Coming prepared with the things they might need, just in case. Bringing gum because you know they forget theirs. Always keeping your senses on alert for threats to the person(s) you care about.

(Self-)Comfort

Wanting to be free of all responsibility. Not wanting anyone to have a chance to criticize you for not doing or being something, to have any excuse to force you to do something. Needing a safe space where you can just do what you want, just relax. No expecations, no burdens, no criticism. Just you, feeling your emotions, and soaking in the comforts of your own understanding and compassion towards yourself [for those Cancer moons who were not made to feel that every part of them is bad, and hate themselves even when they're alone and there's no one to make them feel insecure. If this is you, read the bottom footnote💗 [2]].

Eating lots of chocolate and sweet deserts, wrapping themself up in soft blankets. Listening to gentle songs, sad songs, sweet and innocent songs [unless you've been hurt too many times and now you like the dark stuff [2]...or just find it interesting ig!]. Surrounding yourself with the posessions (digital, physical, or otherwise) that you love. Locking yourself away in your room all by yourself. Hot chocolate and books in bed during the rain. Or just staring out the window! >:). Imagined scenarios. Cuddles [real or fictional]. Reading romance with tender words and loving characters.

Aesthetic

Pastel pink and baby blue. The deep blue of the ocean and the deep pinks of love. Whites. Sparkles and glitter. Shiny, reflective, iridescent, and transparent. Little pieces of jewelry, cute ponytails and neat nail polish. Little hairclips and small flower shapes. Heart stickers and pretty doodles.

Btw you're just as cool if your doodles are a mess, you haven't even heard of aesthetics, and you're a guy with short hair >:D This is Cancer Moon vibe. Daydream. Fantasy :) This is what our soul is like, or at least, one interpretation. Feel free to make your own ✨ 🤩. Every Cancer Moon is their own unique magical world.

Footnotes

Or maybe this is just me :p I love analyzing things & people (Jupiter in Virgo opposite Mercuryyy; Mercury & Sun in 6th house might have something to do with this too.)

If you're like this, you're amazing. I love you. You are lovable, and awesome, and beautiful just the way you are. And nothing can change that. People who criticize you are just caught up in a more narrow view of the world, or are dealing with their own traumas. I don't use this to justify the hurt they caused you, but I say this so you know it's not about you. Even if they think it is. But I see how amazing you are <3 Stay with the people who see your nature as beauty, not as something bad. Butterflies are fragile, the moon is fickle, and babies can be annoying. And yet butterflies are the symbol for beauty, the moon symbolizes love, care, and devotion, and babies, the symbol of youth and good fortune, are what every single fantastic person on this planet came from. It doesn't matter what others think of you, what their narratives are. You are the best💖. You are beautiful and I love you.
