ooookayyyy time to copy/paste my VERY lengthy rant about my TOH Bard oc, Eira Bane. originally sent it to my friend on discord, at the time i didnt realize it was so lengthy oops but hey yknow what. get used to it, yall get to deal with my bs no matter what LOL

first of all, lemme introduce: Harbinger Inferno, and its band members.

Eira Bane (they/them), creator, lead singer and guitarist. Hexside graduate. looks super threatening and intimidating, but they're such a sassy lil shit and is truthfully a massive dweeb.

Eran Thorne (he/him), secondary vocals and guitarist. St. Epiderm's graduate. he and Eira get along very well, are close like siblings but tease the media because celebrity drama likes to make it seem like they're dating. they both find it hilarious and joke about it constantly.

Dartak Heathers, bass guitarist. St. Epiderm's graduate. has a special Bard talent of being able to hear "melodies" for everyone, sorta a synesthesia type gift. he's also a mega dork

Belak Strande, drums. Hexside graduate. he...doesn't talk much, but he's super chill. an amazing cook tho, he enjoys cooking for the other three.

okay now youve met them, time to rant. fuck this is gonna be lengthy i apologize long in advance. n o t mwahaha

Eira's family name is Harbane. They're a very long line of witches, of a lot of different specialities. Primarily, a lot of Harbanes end up having stronger Oracle magic. Eira has an older brother (5 years older and a captain in the Emperor's Coven) and a younger sister (about 10 yrs younger). Eiras father is an Abomination witch, their mother an Oracle, both part of their respective covens. Both of their grandparents, the heads of their family, I haven't exactly decided what magic is their speciality, but they're powerful. Lastly is their great-grandfather, who passed away at 98 when Eira was barely 16; he had dementia, was practically deaf, and partially blind.

The Harbane family line have a very specific magical talent that they're most known for. One ancestor named it the Death Shout, another the Banshee Shriek. Its unknown how the Harbane ancestry got the gift, it's theorized amongst the family members that the Titan gifted it to them, but no one knows for sure. Throughout the generations of Harbanes, each "user" of the Scream, as its simply titled, used it various different ways. The ancestor who had it last called it the Death Shout, due to him having been able to raise the dead with it. That was nearly 800 yrs before Eira was born. The family line never understood why no one had so-called "received" the Scream since then. When Eira was born tho, her cries could crack glass, and their family realized they had the Scream. Their great-grandfather properly named them Eralynne, having once told them their name meant "the one who sings." Which is incredibly ironic. Eira's strongest magic is actually Construction magic, and as they grew older and practiced their Scream, they realized that, depending on the pitch/depth, they could either raise ground with the Scream, or absolutely decimate it. They also learned the hard way not to use the Scream indoors and almost damaged their eardrums once. Woops.

The final thing the Harbane family are known for is the ancient Harbinger Raven Palisman that has been passed down for generations upon generations. A Harbinger Raven is the symbol of their family, and its how they got their name. There's another theory amongst the family that Corva was probably one of the first Palisman ever made. But, again, no one knows for sure. and Corva sure as hell refuses to confirm nor deny it. She's a stubborn thing, but incredibly wise and, honestly, a bit of a smartass.

Harbinger Ravens are, as I decided, an extinct type of raven. One myth is that they were the first ones with Oracle magic, and taught it to the first witches. They were much larger than the average raven, and their key distinction is their oily-black feathers and their piercing, vibrant purple eyes (sclera and all).

Corva looks precisely like that, aside from the fact that she's not that big. Probably the size of a human realm crow, really. still a decent size. Corva, as stated, as been passed down through the Harbane ancestry, choosing on her own whether to take the next owner or not. When Eira was 11, it was meant to be her older brother's turn, his ceremonious ritual amongst the family to see if Corva would choose him. Instead, she eyed Eira almost instantly and flew to her instead. She didn't even give Eira's brother a single glance, not even a side eye. Just flew to Eira, who caught her easily, and cradled herself in the kid's arms. Eira's great-grandfather was the only one amused by it.

Now... there's a reason Eira doesn't go by the family name anymore, instead shortening it (out of spite) to just Bane. this part. is gonna take a while djfjg might switch to my laptop instead o o f

When Eira was maybe 10 or 11, their great-grandfather took them to the market with him, wanting to get them out of the house for a bit. I haven't really decided how they found it, hell it coulda been at Eda's "human collectibles" stand, but either way they found a music cd with a variation of different metal bands from the human realm. They begged their great-grandfather to get it for them, already having a love for music at that age, and he of course agreed and got it for them. When Eira got home and listened to it for the first time, they fell in love. Deep, raw emotion compiled into people screaming into microphones with heavy drums and epic guitars? Absolutely-freaking-yes. The next time they went to the market, they bought their first lute.

Eira's parents and grandparents weren't as understanding as their great-grandfather. They thought Bard magic was pointless, and a waste of talent. They weren't fans of music, not really. So Eira tried their hardest to hide their first lute from them. Sadly their older brother found out, and snitched to their mother... who broke the lute in front of the entire family, with Eira of course present. Eira soon bought another lute, still practicing in secret, and the next time their family found out, they yelled at them that they wanted to be a Bard, that they wanted to make music and that they could learn to incorporate the family Scream into it. They were laughed at and, once again, their lute was broken. It was around this time their great-grandfather slowly began to lose it, dementia setting in. He understood his great-grandchild more than anything, but because he was no longer head of house at this point he couldn't make any decisions about it.

Eira's parents forced them into the Construction track at Hexside after, but that didn't stop Eira from sneaking into the Bard track homeroom and continuing to practice in secret.... the Bard track teachers knew, but they knew enough about Eira's family to not mention it to anyone.

Eira made the decision, at that point, that they didn't give a shit what anyone else wanted them to be. Nothing was going to stop them from being what they wanted to be. No one but them could tell Eira what to do. It was precisely that, that Corva chose them over their brother. Not quite stubbornness, but free-will and a desire to be more than what Corva had experienced with her past owners. Fighters, warriors, generals. All strong-willed, sure, but it was the same old thing time and time again. Corva wanted to feel the true Freedom of such a strong-willed witch such as Eira, and that's exactly what she saw in them.

Like I said, Eira's great-grandfather was the only one who was amused when Corva chose them at age 11, only a year after first discovering metal music. Their grandparents and parents were infuriated, their brother mad and hateful at them after that (he instead got a newer palisman carved, also a raven, but a regular one). Eira's father actually attempted to keep Corva from his kid, locking the palisman up for two straight days...until he got too close and Corva bit his hand, immediately flying back to the grieving kid (they thought they wouldn't see Corva ever again). Their parents didn't attempt that again, but it still made Eira's home life absolute hell. They stopped being close with the rest of their family at this point, keeping on the track of keeping things from them. They didn't leave their room much and lied a lot, saying they "took up an extracurricular with the Illusion track, which is why they were at school so long." Their parents and grandparents didn't question it.

When Eira was 13, roughly at the end of their 8th grade year, they and the other students in their grade at Hexside were given the option to switch tracks, and to start making plans for what coven they wanted to join when they graduated high school. Essentially, the conversation with their family went like this:

(Grandparents:) "You are going to continue the Construction track, or you're out of this family. Decide to join whatever coven you want, but if you even dare think about joining the Bards, you will not be a part of this family."

(Parents:) "Be like your brother. He's going to join the Emperor's Coven. They'll let you do whatever magic you want, our family Scream will be a blessing for the Emperor."

Eira, spiteful as they were, went to Principal Bump the next day and told him that they wanted to switch to the Bard track. They explained what their family will do, but that they didn't care. "They can do whatever the heck they want, but I refuse to let them make my life decisions for me. It's my Scream, it's my choice. And music is what I want," they had said. Something they always lived by. Bump understood, he knew, after knowing Eda Clawthorne, that kids these days were incredibly stubborn but formidable. So he agreed, and switched them to the Bard track. Eira kept it hidden from their brother on their trip home, but as soon as they got home they showed off the Bard track colors, a giant "fuck you" to their family. They were given one full day to pack their things and leave, and they did. It hurt, because they knew they wouldn't be able to see their great-grandfather ever again, but it meant they could do what they wanted.

Eira was, quite frankly, homeless for the next couple weeks, slowly making their way to where the majority of the Bard Coven witches lived, aka Harper's Haven (see my previous post lol). During those couple weeks, Bump had called Eira into his office to show them the official statement from their now ex-family that Eira was legally disowned and legally denied any access to their family records etc etc. They were... well. Let's just say Principal Bump wasn't surprised when things in his office got broken. Eira apologized for it, repeatedly, but he didn't hold it against them. He'd seen worse. They and Bump essentially made an agreement: if Eira could find a suitable place to live and a way to afford continuing learning at Hexside, he wouldn't make them leave the school. He couldn't let them keep learning there for free, school costs money; Eira knew this, of course, and Bump wasn't pleased about it, either, but the agreement was made.

Anyways, when Eira got to Harper's Haven, they wanted to be as close to the Bard Coven hq as possible, so they, a 14-year-old, walked into the Harper's Haven Hotel (Triple H), and immediately demanded to speak to the owner to ask about room and board, along with a job. They were raised rich, so their tone was all high-and-mighty, so the associate had quickly got the owner, Caric Thorne, a Construction witch.

After Eira explained their situation, Caric was incredibly sympathetic. It wasn't abnormal for high schoolers to get jobs (i.e. canonically Amity and the library job), so he wasn't against the idea. What he was against was that Eira was demanding a full-time job, something he couldn't allow a minor to have. Caric was relatively wealthy, though, having built Triple H from the ground up (literally), so he could vouch on Eira's behalf and partially pay for their schooling, which Eira begrudgingly accepted. Caric, Eira, and Bump made a deal: if Eira could keep their grades up, while also showing up to work on time and proving they can balance both school and work at "such a young age," there would be no issues with them doing both. And proved that to them, Eira did.

also cough at Caric's surname and Eran's surname lol

Now I would like to note a funfact: Eira is only 11 years younger than Raine and the rest of the canon adults (they're all in their early 40s). When Eira's 14, Raine wouldve only been in their mid-to-late 20s sdjghdg. ngl when Eira's 14 Raine and Eda would've only been broken up for a few years canonically. o o f the realization at that safgsjkgb

fast forward a couple yrs and Eira is still proving themself to both work and school. They ended up getting a loaner guitar from the Bard track, so they could practice outside of school. They found an empty space a couple miles outside of town, and made it their practice area, using construction magic to make their own stage and everything. They had gotten pretty damn good at playing guitar by the time they were 16, having learned the bass and drums as well. A straight-A student as well, and always on-time to work (considering they went to work as soon as school was done). Relatively easy when they live at the hotel, too, but still.

Not long after Eira's 16th birthday was the first covention they would've been able to attend, the first time they woulda been able to prove themself to the Bard Coven that their Scream could be incorporated into bard magic. But...alas...work got in the way. It was a busy week at Triple H, a Bard Coven concert just around the corner or something along those lines. So, instead of being able to attend, Eira wrote a letter and sent Corva off to deliver it to the coven head at the time, Scooter Crane.

the letter went as follows (mostly came up with this on the spot, but the concept of it has been sitting in my brain for a while):

"Head Witch Crane,

My name is Eira Bane, formerly Eralynne Harbane. I am 16 years old, and I inherited my family's infamous Scream. My family fully legally disowned me at age 13 when I told them I was going to be a Bard Witch whether they liked it or not. As proof I am who I say I am, I have sent my Palisman, Corva, as proof. She is, you'll recognize, a Harbinger Raven, and can tell you herself that I am who I say I am.

I, alas, cannot attend the covention due to work conflicts. Because I was kicked out of my family, I have had no choice but to work, along with attending school. I, at present, work at Harper's Haven Hotel, proudly and happily, in exchange for room and board. You may ask Mr. Caric Thorne about my work performance, and you may also ask Principal Bump for my school records.

I have wanted to be a musician since I was 10 years old. I have learned to play lute, guitar, bass, drums, and, of course, I can sing, since then. I have practiced using my family Scream and incorporating it into Bard magic, something no one in my family ancestry has ever done. I would be proud and incredibly glad to be accepted into the Bard Coven when I graduate from Hexside, if you'll allow me. However, there is one exception: I cannot be branded with the sigil. Because no one knows what power the Scream originates from, I cannot risk being branded with the Bard sigil, in the chance that I would no longer be able to use it with Bard magic.

I am more than willing to prove to you that the Scream can be tied into Bard magic, just tell me the time and place. Well... the place will have to be outdoors, naturally. If you accept this, you know where to find me.

-Eira Bane"

A few days later, during one of Eira's work shifts, Crane actually did send someone from the Bard coven to investigate...and who better than Raine Whispers themself. bc im seriously super self-indulgent and i love raine with all my heart asgfghjksghjkh

Just gonna summarize at this point, the two had a very long conversation...all while Eira, stubbornly, kept working. They weren't going to just stop working just to answer basic interview questions. The entire time, Raine was very deeply reminded of Eda. Both Eda and Eira were so incredibly stubborn, but very free-willed and, essentially, wild. It got Raine very intrigued into Eira's situation. By the end of Eira's shift, Raine had convinced Eira to show them were they practice, and Eira relented. While Eira was preparing in their room, Raine had contacted Crane and told him where to go, as a surprise to Eira. They wanted to prove themself to Crane, so what better time to do it?

At this point in Eira's life, they had made their first ever song, having recorded it both at school (instrumentals) and at their practice area (vocals). So when they brought Raine there, (they knew Crane was there, too, but didn't want to say anything as a joke at Raine, who was seriously not subtle about it), they set up everything but the central vocals and lead guitar, their strongest points. And perform they did-

https://youtu.be/dGl2qh7RXak (they use the Scream at 2:42 "You don't know me it's only what I let you see" not sure how to describe what it looked like, but just. yea. And yes, their vocal range is pretty wide. cuz why tf not djfjkdghk.)

Head Witch Crane was impressed with the performance, and another deal with Eira was made (behind raine's back, because raine was getting involved with it whether they liked it or not). If Eira could make a band by the time they graduate from school, and can further enhance their Scream into Bard magic, with training from a certain Bard Coven Witch cough Raine cough, then Crane would consider allowing Eira to be a Bard Coven Witch without the sigil. "I heard Caric's boy is wanting to join the Bard Coven as well, perhaps you should meet with him?" Crane had suggested, and, being the stubborn shit they were, Eira begrudgingly agreed.

By the end of their senior year, Eira had become close friends with Eran, who introduced them to Dartak, and Eira had found out Belak, who was in their grade at Hexside, was also into metal/hard rock, and was an incredible drummer. The group formulated the Harbinger Inferno, proudly using Corva as their mascot (who absolutely loved the idea and became an "integral" part of their band and performances). Eira explained how spiteful they were to their family, and the 3 boys immediately agreed to join in on the spite. By their Coven initiation, they had practically made an entire album setlist. I like to picture the Bard Coven initiation as a sort of talent show. They performed "True Colors", the first and best selling song. During the past year and a half, almost 2 years, Raine had officially become Eira's mentor, and was incredibly proud of Eira's band. Won't ever admit it to anyone, but still. Eira was their protégé, and proudly admits it any time they get the chance to. Scooter Crane was, again, greatly impressed by their progress and held up their end of the deal. Eira became the first and only Bard Coven witch to not have the sigil, instead having a formal pin that they keep on them at all times, something they're incredibly proud of. Not having the sigil meant they could be even more of a performer by incorporating other types of magic (mostly illusion magic) as well. Because they just have to be a show off.

Harbinger Inferno became famous, essentially. Got investigated by the Emperor's Coven a handful of times due to certain subjects of their songs, but they didn't get in any real trouble. They were sponsored by the Bard Coven after all. even more kudos to them when Raine became Head Witch for, like, a month or two.

Eira was hurt (emotionally) badly when the Day of Unity happened. They didn't have the sigil, they had to watch as their closest friends and fatherly figure Caric were being drained of their magic and actually hurt. When it ended, though, and the Collector took over the land, Harper's Haven was one of the first places that got hit. Luuuckily Eira was ready to kick some ass. They and their band, along with a handful of other witches, herded as many people as they could into the Bard Coven Center and Triple H to keep them safe. In the months that followed, Dartak had gotten Collected in the process of saving a group of stragglers. Thaaat def made Eira lose their shit. Fuck, they practically led an army of Bards and Construction witches after that, keeping Harper's Haven as safe as they possibly could. Even more so when belos took over the Titan's Heart and corrupted the land. Damn did their Scream come in handy. Then again, Eira learned from Raine how to use soundwaves as a way to manipulate surroundings, def comes in handy with the Scream. During that time, though Caric attempted to save a kid from some rubble, but because of his more elderly age and how weak he still was from the Draining Spell, he...didn't make it.

When everything was over, Harbinger Inferno led the effort in helping rebuild Harper's Haven...which really didn't take all too long. Triple H became a center for temporarily housing Harper's Haven's citizens. It was only a couple weeks after that Eira came up with the idea about the charity concert. And it gave them a good reason to get their grief out of their system by making the clearing they made as a teenager a lot bigger. r i p the trees lmao.

Anyways, by that point they're only 29 years old (roughly estimated Eda and Raine are 40. They def accomplished a fuckton of shit since they graduated from Hexside. and they like to rub it in Raine's face. a lot. "awwww Raine aren't you just so prooud of me, your protégé? heeeee" kinda shit. theyre an ass to raine at times and its totally worth it. Eira's "boys" - as they labeled Eran, Dartak and Belak - love playing along with it, too.

and if anyones curious, Eira used Corva to track down every single Bard witch possible to gather them for the first Bard Collective Charity Concert. Corva was ecstatic to track people down, she loves tracking. One of the Harbane ancestors had used her Oracle talents for the exact same thing. It's very fun, and incredibly freeing.

Bonus pics: Eira when they were younger!

Eira (Eralynne), age 13 (she/her)

Eira, age 14-17 (they/she)

Eira, age 18 (after joining the Bard Coven) (they/them)

Also more bonus, Harbinger Inferno's first album cover (which i just realized has an error and im gonna lose my shit) and the first album's songs (with listed credit for the actual bands who sing the songs lol) (peep the "Sponsored by the Bard Coven" in the bottom left corner lol)

"Now Let Them Tremble" (All That Remains) (all sing) "True Colors" (Wage War) (sung by Eira, Scream used) "Obey" (Bring Me The Horizon) (sung by Eira and Eran) (yes this song can be seen as a play at the emperor's coven bc thats exactly what its intended as heehee) "Pass The Nirvana" (Pierce The Veil) (sung by Eira, Scream can be used but not always) "Stitch" (Wage War) (sung by Eira) "Blood Runs Cold" (Rain City Drive) (sung by Eira) "Blood & Water" (Memphis May Fire) (sung by Eira, Scream used) "When Everything Means Nothing" (Fit For A King) (sung by Eran) "Ophelia" (Rain City Drive) (sung by Eran) "Bulls in the Bronx Hills" (Pierce The Veil) (sung by Eira, one of their most famous songs. partially renamed for Reasons)

please lemme know if u wanna know more about Eira and the band, i love them and owl house has given me such MASSIVE brainrot that theyre all i can focus on asgfsjghdjkghk h e l p

#m rambles #the owl house #owl house #toh #toh oc #bard witch oc #owl house bard oc #owl house oc #toh hcs #technically #also tagging as ->#harper's haven #just so i can keep it saved with the other post #also sorry if this post was long w o o ps theres a lot #ive also been in the process of making an entire setlist for the first bard collective charity concert but its still a WIP #and on pandora music and not spotify #cuz i like pandora more lmao

Pheww... Oh man, I missed this story.

So, let's Review!!!

First, I live how ellie's first instinct was going to Bill and Franks house after seeing her apartment wasn't an option that moment (and also, a little break to tell how much that whole scene seemed like two grandpas comforting and sheltering their granddaughter). We see that Bill knew (and was sure) about joel's affair with ellie since she started to speak about the fight, meanwhile Frank is also suspecting but doesn't jump to the conclusion as something verdict. I was as curious as ellie when she was overhearing their conversation (I was like "nooo" when we couldn't read anymore what frank was saying), and I'm very interested what they think about it. Anways.

Jesse and Dina. I already forgave Dina, and I'm on my way to forgive Jesse too. I feel like he's still reluctant to accept that a minor-not--minor is dating a grown man (he's such a good boy), but I feel like he's going to eventually not care anymore.

Tommy and Maria. Was hard not to be mad at them this whole chapter. Okay, I knew Tommy was maria's puppy, but I thought that after the church scene and everything he was going to kick the bucket and be like "you know what? Fuck it. Joel, do what you want 👍" but no, homeboy is really scared of having a divorce. Maria... Man I don't even wanna talk about her but I have to. Look, I understand her (If I saw a man dating an underage girl irl I would lose my head too) but she's so selective on the things she worries about, that's the part that she looses the reason to me. Ellie is not child enough to study, but she's child enough to have some religious therapy against her will. Ellie is not a little girl enough to be forced to live with her and tommy, but she's a little girl whenever she's next to big bad wolf Joel? She contradicts herself. It's like Bill said, Maria was just waiting for Joel to step on thin Ice, at the first opportunity to label him a pedophile, she did so. I hope she feels really guilty about what happened to ellie, because even tho I know the the aggressor is the only one who is to blame, maria also has at least a finger on this whole shit too. Ellie said everything she deserved to hear.

Talking about ellie... SHE SAYS SHE LOVES HIM AAAAKSJKSJDJDJD oh god, okay let's breathe. Okay, so, I really thought Joel would be the first one to say these little words (I usually love when it happens like that; the man confessing first) but I like how ellie did there, with no fear (I really I thought Maria was going to faint at that or scream like a banshee. Imagine if ellie had said "oh, and I'm pregnant too" lmao). This leads me to think that joel is going to say he loves her too next chapter (I'm wondering if it's before the 🌶️🌶️🌶️👀).

Also, when you say you gonna end this arc and planning others, that means the story is not close to ending, right? You think this will be a long fic or no? Honestly I wouldn't even care if you wrote about their daily life even if there's no drama plot anymore, I got so attached to It.

Anways, loved the chapter and now I can't wait for more (I can tho)❤️

Sweet cub, you always have the most extensive, amazing analysis - if you’re the same cub that always leaves these comments 🩷

Let’s dig in: chapter 10 spoilers below

I’ve missed this story too, and like everything else, writing angst, drama and action takes extra time, and time was not something I had to offer of the summer. Now that we’re into the school year I have more time to dedicate to this. To answer the end of your comment: this is a long story, and the second one will be long (hopefully) as I have some ideas for the next arc. Will it be 100k words long? I don’t know how big it’ll be. But I do have another story to tell in this universe.

I love having Bill and Frank here - I have more planned for them, interacting with Joel and making a role in the town. Frank wants to see the best in everyone, including Joel, and he wants what’s best for the town - Frank should be on the council, but he’s just too kind and gentle, best for the grandpas to run their little corner of Jackson and take care of the people in their own way. But Bill, I think he’s the type that as long as no one is getting hurt, it’s the end of the world and there are no rules.

I have a soft spot for Jesse and Ellie’s relationship in all universes, so we had to mend that wound. Also, keep an eye on Jesse as we start to navigate Tommy…

Speaking of Tommy. Tommy has a lot at stake: his marriage, his son, his brother, his status in town - he’s made a name for himself in Jackson, a good name. People trust him, look to him as a de facto leader and even Joel doesn’t want to ruin that. I mentioned in an earlier response that Maria needs to be knocked down a few pegs, needs to get things into perspective - she also has a lot at stake, a lot to lose if she’s not careful. I think Maria wants to keep such a tight grip on the safety of Jackson, that her intentions are good, but the way she goes about it isn’t always great. I’m not saying Maria is gonna make a 180 before the story is over, but she’s got some soul searching to do.

I wish I could remember where I posted a headcanon about Ellie and “But Daddy I Love Him” - it basically looks like what you said. “Maria, there’s really nothing you can do - I’m having his baby” and Joel is standing there looking her over like… what? Yeah, ok, don’t mess with my girl… and he kind of leans close. “What are you doing? Because we haven’t… you know…” “Joel, if you can’t say sex or fuck, then you’re not ready for it… also, no, of course I’m not. But you should see your face” 🤭

Joel has said those little words first in most of my stories, and I love that, too. However, Ellie shouting it in her tirade, before she’s even said it to him had speaks volumes. The spice in the next chapter… well, I enjoyed writing it 🤭🤭 I hope you enjoy reading it. Our girl was traumatized and at some point, she needs Joel… that’s all I’m saying.

I’m so glad you enjoyed 🩷 it was a lot to write but I wanted to cross that 100k milestone, and here we are! I’m pivoting to the other story, for at least one if not two chapters before coming back here for the finale

🫶🏻

Now that the sentient shortcake has had her turn, it's back to me now- And you're...congratulating me? I suppose congratulations are in order for such a feat! Eeeheehee! I'll find my Queen in every universe, that's a promise.

I am extraordinarily lucky...

...

What's with the face? Are we having a staring contest? Hoo-hoo! You're either awfully brave or awfully stupid to challenge the likes of me to such a frivolous game! I'll win!

Hi everybody! I'm back from the clown convention-

MY BANETTE NOW. KING SWEETIE WE HAVE A NEW SON.

MY PRECIOUS BANSHEE BLOSSOM! YOU'RE BACK! WELCOME HOME WE'VE ALL MISSED YOU TERRIBLY!

hi hi!! so i saw that people could send in an ask describing themselves to get a lost boy paired with them? but yeah heres a desc of me ig!

so i’m tall, and relatively large- i have dark purple/burgundy hair in a shaggy mullet with an undercut. i come up with crazy ideas and shit but i almost never go thru with them bc i get a n x i o u s- anyway i love rock and punk such as dead kennedys, mötley crue, def leppard, the ramones, ect and goth/alternative such as the cure, joy division, bauhaus, sisters of mercy, and souxie sxioux and the banshees (i have the brain capacity of a seagull so my apologies if i misspelt that). i love small tattoos, and stretch ears. i am german, french, irish and scottish, hawaiian/other pacific islander that i don’t wanna mention all of them and jewish! i don’t think i needed to include that but i’m proud of my heritage and i thought maybe it would be useful sjfjsjfnks. i can go from moments of batshit like licking chargers, eating lotion, sand and paint, and lighting things on fire and “i wanna live in a big city and cause chaos and make others fear me” to “i wanna live in a small cottage in the rolling hills of scotland and raise sheep and have 3 cats named rat, tat, and tatta” i love painting, and i have multiple articles of clothing that i have painted and drawn on, as well as cut, but i cant sow for the life of me. i also wanna have a small apartment somewhere but travel the world in a van. yeah- i think that’s about it- sorry this was so long KFJDBFJDNFJFMJ

DUDE, YOU ARE ASKING TO BE PAIRED WITH

Marko

Man, what a deadly twosome. You'll have the boys' nightmares coming true.

I don't know if you are taller than him. If you are, oh boy, can you enjoy it making blondie upset. He finds you being taller than him a real turn-on. If you aren't, he still finds you sexy as hell.

This man comforts and helps you with your anxiety, because when he falls in love there will be nothing as pure and strong in your life as what he feels for you, so if there is anything he can do to assist you, count on him. And about the crazy stuff, you know he is a mentally strange motherfucker too, and that is something that makes the two of you the explosive couple you are. If your anxiety stops you from doing something you love, he will encourage you to do it, because he knows you have the potential and blindly trusts in your skills, but will understand if you insist on not doing it and will give you time and space if you still don't feel prepared or in the mood. He will never give up tho.

You two would have these amazing brutal-as-fuck compilations with your favorite songs. Dividing them into moods, like having your favorite punk songs in the "wreck the system" tape, and your favorite metal songs in the "sunset strip whore" mix. For when you get into the classic goth mood, the atmosphere it creates and his company can turn the moment into a romantic event.

He shares your fascination for corporal modifications, so he will speak with you about some cool tattoos he saw in some random guy's arm at the boardwalk or this idea he has for a tattoo that he swears would look incredible. If you wanted to get one done for yourself, he will help you out selecting or designing the concept and will be by your side at the moment of getting it done. You could get a tattoo of an ordinary happy face and he would tell you it creates a super tough and dangerous aspect.

Ok, this is more a headcannon of mine, but I believe Marko to be Jewish too! So you will have him pronouncing B'shert very often.

Now, oh Lord, I wish I could tell you he is going to protect you from catching an infection, but truth is, there's no voice of reason in a pair like this. The worst part is, you two compete to see who can endure eating more sand. I'm not sure who would win this one.

Ah!, almost forgot, Paul had to buy a fire extinguisher because now he has two pyromaniacs in their prime to worry about.

First off, those are now top on my list "best names for your domestic rats" lmao. Second, this guy follows the game. I mean, the only friends he has besides the boys are his pigeons, and I bet my left arm one of them it's named Rambo.

Yes, this is sweet. He has this DIY fascination too, so for date ideas you two get together with a bunch of clothes ready to be modified. Like kids in kindergarten, you two end up with paint all over your faces, but the final product is worth it, tho. Because you two can express your distinctive styles with your brand new shirts and jeans. Cut wounds will be involved in this too.

#thank you for requesting #it was really fun to write this one #i hope you like it #you can state ur opinion of it if u want #match-ups #vampire1rat #marko the lost boys #the lost boys #my writings

so got an idea from this amazing art by @banana-banshee

✨a jutjutsu kaisen regular kids!au✨

-where curses dont exist and yuji stays in regular highschool and goes to his weekly supernatural club (the friends are okk!!!! they play mock-up curse games like d&d)

-grandpa lives 😌 and continues to raise and help yuji. he still has health probs but yuji chills w him in the hospital and reads/writes manga(he wants to be a writer one day🤗)

-gojo, utahime, nanami etc are all teachers, yoshinobu is the principle, shoko is the nurse, masamichi is the gym teacher😂

-gojo is blind, he dyes his hair white for the lulz, and is the students fav teacher / a jokester, his class is an gaurenteed A as long as you dont tell on him to the principle for all the nonconstructive class trips (strange little excursions throughout the hallways, games in the sports fields, scavenger hunts throughout the school etc)

-nanami went into teaching bc he wanted to help (altho if you asked him he'd just say he just wanted the job security🙄 but he left bc Reasons (hint: a certain fellow teacher may possibly have somethingeverything to do w it) and got a soulless corporate job but missed....the kids👀👀 so he took the pay cut and came back

-megumi and nobara are transfer students. megumi just wants to get away from his family (and the private academy he had been goin to) nobara keeps getting kicked out of schools for fighting/anger issues

-shes encouraged to join the baseball team and meets team captain maki (who has just as many if not more Issues™️ than her)(theyre besties now<3)

-megumi is Severly Depressed and antisocial™️ (his sister is in a coma and he meets a pink haired kid there in the hospital hallway one day whos visiting his grandpa) > pink hair kid™️ makes an Impression > megumi feels goodweird for the first time in Years > phk™️ mentions his public hs he goes to (megumi almost stumbled onto him bc he was zoning out while stirring coffee he had no intention of drinking and the phk™️ was laying haphazardly in the hallway reading some Weird Manga) > megumi decides hes had Enough w his private academy and their soulless elitism and decides to transfer to public school for phk™️ his /health/

-reality of the differences hit him hard tho (ppl actually Daring to talk to him bc the name Zenin™️ holds no meaning here)(him having to choose between responding or looking like a smug asshole)(not being able to use the family name to get out of the work(hes not lazy hes depressed™️)(not knowing how to deal w everyone being interested in him but not bc of his family???? they actually??want to get to know???[him]?)(constantly not knowing if the friendly smiles are real or not)(it gets to be Too Much)(and he almost drops out but a goofy (and vaguely familiar) teacher (where has he seen that white hair before?) manages to convince him to keep trying and invites him to join the club he leads (its an supernatural club)(phk™️ is there)(his prestigious family™️ would never approve of him bein friends w someone w pink hair)(pink hair is Not Classy)(supernatural fiction is childrens fantasy)(he should be in chess or fencing club or some shit)(but this is his choice)(he grins as he walks out of his first meeting)

-todo and choso are upperclassmen + bros w yuji😌 todo tells him abt the baseball team (its co-ed) and he befriends nobara and maki

-megumi would rather sulk in the stands than join a sport™️ but he takes up art and Draws His Feelings (Randomly And Completely Unsupported By Any Evidence Whatsoever his drawings start to turn into panels of a manga👀)

-miwa and momo are galpals (girlfriends,,,,,,theyre girlfriends) and also cheerleaders until nobara shows up and tells them they could use more girls on the ball team

-naoya is the school bully

-innumaki is mostly nonverbal (yuji pulls him into The Friend Group and they all learn to translate the few words he does say)(no one had ever bothered to Try before)(girl kelp😭)

-sukuna is the name yuji gives the voice of his intrusive thoughts; hes getting better at ignoring him(((sometimes)))

-panda is human! its just a nickname bc he wears a panda costume as the school mascot (he wears it around school even when theres not a game tht day🐼)

-kokichi is disabled, uses a wheelchair, is the the club w the others, is a gamer™️ (his username is mechamaru)

-junpei (junpeiiiii😢😭) is bullied alot but one time yuji and megumi See It and Stop It and now theyre all friends uwuwuwuu😭😩😭

-mahito is a creep who crepps around the school with his followers tryin to manipulate and trick students into like his cult or w/e idk i havent figured it out yet (once nanami finds out tho....)

-hanami is one of those extreme environment advocate preachers lol

ahhhhh😅just the basics for somethng i might get to at some point and expand on these bc i rly love regularppl!aus so yeah😬

THES HI HIYA :D!!!! sorry this took so long T_T however i finally listened through to all the bauhaus you recommended :D i listened to the full of mask and in the flat field, i actually wore my bauhaus hoodie to school last thursday and i felt like the coolest #girl. In the world

IN ANY CASE THOUGH; my favorite songs (in no particular order) are probably kick in the eye, in the flat field, and telegram sam. i think bauhaus's music caught me so off guard at first because their music truly just does not sound like anything else i've ever heard — most of their songs took me a few listens to even get in to, actually, their sound is just so affectionally bizarre and hollow and. well. Goth. BUT I DO REALLY REALLY LIKE IT A LOT......... thank you very much for the recommendations cause i enjoyed them so much and cannot wait to listen to more :'D my favorite song overall is probably mask's title track.. it makes me feel like i'm in a different Dimension. i love it so much

do you have any other music you'd like to share :O if you still want c!dream songs i'd like to suggest pet by a perfect circle, another apc song i know BUT I JUST. I PROMISE!! THIS ONE IS LITERALLY PERFECT I SWEAR

HELLO CALLIZINC MY ESTEEMED MUTUAL CALLIZINC!!!!!!!! HELL YES NO #Poser BEHAVIOR HERE

VERY BASED FAVORITES!! kick in the eye is just. an Absolute banger. i love the guitar in it especially id love to learn how to play it. and his voice is fucking perfect. 1000% one of the best bauhaus songs ever made. and in the flat field is def one of my tops too if not my #1 song.. it's just. so fucking cool, always gets stuck in my head. my name is dropped in it AND it reminds me of blorbo from my shows.. Has to be my fav <3 When he yells "I DO GET BORED!!!!" Like if you agree❤ personally im never bored listening to bauhaus tho Like you said i really hadnt heard anything like that song Ever before, it was my first bauhaus song and still stands out to me. Its unique they're just such pioneers of goth music it all holds up so well!!!! and Yas telegram sam luv when he howls in it........ think im just a huge fan of howling and wailing

and YAYYY i am always looking for more canon accurate c!dream songs‼️‼️‼️ YOURE SO RIGHT TOO PET IS PERFECT IMMEDIATELY ADDED TO MY PLAYLIST FOR CDREAM.. "THEY DONT CARE ABOUT YOU LIKE I DO" the way he whispered it genuinely gave me goosebumps. Can anyone hear me This is just like discduo for real. Also my favorite APC song you've sent me so far this one is sooooo fucking good..

putting my personal reccomendations below the cut so this ask doesn't get too long :]

hm hmmmm... if you're looking for more older goth rock music i like siouxsie and the banshees. they're similar in style to bauhaus for sure !!! this one especially is comparable, and it reminds me of post death c!q. obsession is my favorite by them (both the one with vocals and just the instrumenal), its a c!dream song I Love It. haven't listened to a full album by them yet but i rlly want to listen to all of A Kiss In The Dreamhouse because cascade is another rlly good one.

and if you're looking for something more like modest mouse/chasing around men with a garden house/indie rock which. i have been absolutely MESMERIZED by the beauty of indie rock lately calli. its kinda ridiculous how into this genre i am but. i've been listening to this band called Wolf Parade and I'm In Love with their album Apologies to the Queen Mary. if i could make a two part pmv!!! to Dear sons and daughters of hungry ghosts and I'll believe in anything that's c!wilbur centric... well. Im giving storyboarding a shot because those two songs are AMAZING and the way the transition is between them is on the album is SO SO SO rot inducing. something in my brain changed when i listened to this album all the way through i think. out of all the reccomendations i've handed you please place this one very gently in your pocket bcause there is just something So special about this album

#sorry this ask took me a bit to respond to i saw it and Immediately had to leave for work 😔#and then proceeded to listen to bauhaus for most of my shift #BUT THANK U FOR SENDING THIS..#these r always my favorite asks to answer #slash gen. it's so fun to ramble abt music #and if you end up listening to more b/auhaus shoot me an ask #i'm curious about their other albums too #have a wonderful night calli !!!!!!#thes answers #🎵

Part 58 - The Magical book of Death

Warning !: Crossover with another existence !! Long chapter (Over 3 000 words) ! Enjoy !

You and Loki rode for a few hours through villages and a bit of forests. The forests were little and not really big and amazing, but they still looked beautiful. Soon you led Loki into a huge, deep, never - ending forest. You two rode for another 30 minutes, reaching a very deep place in the never - ending forest.

You halted and Loki did the same. You dismounted your horse first, Loki was doing the same a second later.

"Alright...what now ?", Loki asked you.

You pointed at a huge rock. It was so big, that it could make a cave of some sort.

"We need to find the entrance into this rock. Then we can continue our journey.", you answered him.

Loki nodded in understanding and began to search with you. 12 minutes later you found the entrance.

"Loki !! I found it !!", you yelled.

Loki came rushing to you. You pointed at the entrance.

"It is here and I know how to get access.", you told him smugly.

"Well then, how do we get in ?"

"Easy. Give me your hand."

Loki gave you his hand. Not a second later he hissed in pain. You sliced his palm open and then dragged him to a part of the rock, sliding Loki's hand on it and smearing his blood on it. The entrance opened after that. Loki tore his hand back.

"You could have warned me !", Loki hissed.

"I could have, but would you have agreed ?", you asked him bored.

"....No...", Loki admitted.

"See ? Then were was the point in telling or warning you ?", you huffed out.

You snapped your hands and created a flame in your hand. Then you turned to Loki.

"Let's go."

Loki nodded and followed you, creating himself a flame with a snap of his fingers.

"Any traps ?", Loki asked her cautiously.

"Nope !", you said popping the 'p'.

Loki looked confused.

"Why not ? Any tasks ?"

You huffed out in annoyance.

"No Loki. I don't know, Loki. Shut up Loki. We will see, Loki."

Loki fell silent after that. _________________________________________

You came to a dead end. Loki made a frustrated sound and threw his arms up in anger.

"All this walking around for hours, for nothing !! Great !!", he yelled.

You looked around, rolling your eyes at the Diva called Loki Laufeyson.

"You should have been more careful and put traps here ! Or impossible tasks ! Just SOMETHING !!!", he rambled on.

You felt magic in the air and concentrated. After a few seconds you stepped back in utter shock and awe.

"Now we have to search in whole Asgard to find that damn boo-!!"

"A Portal...", you interrupted Loki's rambling, with awe.

Loki stopped and stared at you.

"What ?", he asked in confusion.

You turned to Loki.

"Loki, the helmet and the book aren't here ! They are through that Portal !"

"What Portal ?"

"It is right in front of us ! We just can't see it !"

Loki looked at you in awe. You swallowed and then went into the Portal. As you stepped out of it, you weren't in the cave anymore, or anywhere near Asgard ! You were in another Dimension. And as you looked around and at yourself, you knew where the heck you were at. Let us just say, you were NOT amused.

"Oh, you've gotta be shittin' me...", you mumbled.

"What is this place ? I have never seen something like this before...", Loki's voice appeared.

You jumped up in the air and looked then at Loki.

"Damn Loki ! Don't sneak up on me !!", you huffed out.

Loki smiled at you mischievously. But it quickly turned into a look of utter shock.

"D-Destiny ?", he asked in utter shock.

You looked at yourself again and huffed out an annoyed noise.

"Yes, it is I, Loki.", you answered him.

"Where are we ?", he asked again.

"In another Dimension. Another existence. No Avengers, no Gods, no Nine Realms."

"Does this 'Dimension' have a name ?", Loki asked a bit skeptical.

"It has many names, but its actual name is 'Skulduggery Pleasant'. We are in another magical Dimension...And I am a male in here. Name is Erskin Hollow."

(Character doesn't really exist in the books, owner of them is Derek Landy ! I just lend it for the story.)

"That is why you look and sound like a male !"

"Yeah, well, I left that Dimension just like that. I play with the true Erskin Hollow a game with my Father. Bruh."

You looked around again and then groaned.

"No ! Why the fuck me ?!", you cursed.

"What is it ?"

"We got spotted by Skulduggery and Valkyrie. Fuck...", you cursed.

"Valkyrie ?", Loki asked in shock.

"Not that kind of Valkyrie ! It is just her name, she gave herself. Her full self - given name is Valkyrie Cain."

"Given name ?"

"You have a lot to learn... Just don't tell them your name."

"Why ?"

"I will explain later.", you whispered into his ear.

"Erskin ! I was starting to think that you didn't want to help us.", Skulduggery said.

(For people who don't know about the books and characters, that is Skulduggery Pleasant. Pics don't belong to me ! Just lending them !)

(That is Valkyrie Cain)

You laughed and stretched out your arms.

"Why would you think that, Skul, old friend ? You know me."

He crocked his head to the right lightly.

"I do not.", he said.

You played the hurt person.

"Ouch. Now you hurt me.", you joked.

Loki looked totally pale and looked at you in utter shock.

"I-is that really a living skeleton ?", he asked in horror.

"Yep ! He is Skulduggery Pleasant. Is a skeleton now for a few hundrets of years. He died in a war and came back as they were about to lose the war. Long story said in short.", you explained.

"A new Magician ?", Valkyrie asked.

You nodded and shook your head.

"Kinda and then again kinda not. He is gifted with Magic since childhood and trained with it, but he is...not from around our world, so to say.", you tried to explain.

"Alright, what is going on ?", Skulduggery asked you.

You scratched your neck in discomfort.

"Let us talk in a safe place, please ?", you asked them.

Skulduggery and Valkyrie looked around and then nodded. Skul pointed at a black car.

(Bentley of Skulduggery)

"Let us hopp into the Bentley then. We will go to Ghastly's place.", he said.

"Okay.", you responded.

"Do we have to go ?", Loki whispered into your ear in fear.

"We have to. Do not worry. They are all nice as long as you are not a threat.", you told him.

He hushed you.

"They will hear us. Don't be so loud.", he whisper - hissed at you.

"I can still hear you.", Skulduggery said.

You chuckled as Loki looked at him in utter horror.

"What did you think of a dead man ? He is a skeleton that can talk, move, think, hear and act like a living person. He can hear every little rustle of paper.", you told him chuckling.

Loki was as white as a corpse at that. You laughed at his shocked face, it looked like he will black out any moment. Reminds you on Valkyrie's and Skulduggery's second meeting as she fell into a black out in utter shock. A skeleton was in her house, saving her life from another dangerous man of his world that then soon became her world too. Madness of the finest kind.

You and Loki hopped into the Bentley at the backseats and Valkyrie was in the passenger seat. Skulduggery was the driver.

"How can he see ?", Loki asked you hushed.

"Magic, boy.", Skulguggery answered him.

Loki looked at him weirdly.

"Magic can't do that. Not from where I am from.", Loki told them.

"Well here it can. Thanks to Magic I can do all of this.", Skulduggery answered back simply.

"What are you by the way ? Are you an Elemental Magician, Teleporter, Vampire, Monster, Banshee, Necromancer, Wizard, Warlock or an Alchemist ?", Valkyrie asked Loki.

Loki stared at her in utter shock and then at you.

"I...I don't know...", he mumbled.

"You trained with your Magic since you were a child and you don't know what kind of Magician you are ? That is something new.", Skulduggery mumbled impressed.

"Ever heard of Seidr, Skul ?", you asked him.

"Se...what ?", he asked you confused.

"Seidr. That is his Magic."

He was silent for a while.

"No I do not, Erskin. Interesting...A new kind of Magic..."

"From where I come from Seidr is not easy to have and to use. It took me hundreds of years to be what I am now. Seidr is also choosing the one who is worthy of it. I was worthy of it and my Mother chose to share her knowledge with me about it, because she also owned it. Just me and my Mother own Seidr in my home."

Skulduggery nodded and hummed at that.

"Interesting...", he mumbled.

"Wait ! Seidr ?! That sounds like Norse Mythology ! Wait I will search it up !", Valkyrie said.

A few seconds later she cheered.

"I found it !"

"Then start, Valkyrie.", you and Skulduggery said.

"Seidr is a rare kind of very powerful Magic. The only people who own it are the Gods named: Sigyn, Frigga/Frigg and Loki. Frigga is the Goddess of Wedding and Family, Loki is the God of Mischief and Lies and Sigyn is the Goddess of Victory."

"Interesting...", mumbled Skulduggery.

"Don't tell me that his name is Loki.", Valkyrie said.

You chuckled.

"Maybe, maybe not. Maybe he will call himself like that."

"That would be cool."

'Don't call yourself that. That is already your given name and would do no help in keeping you safe', you thought to Loki.

'I do not understand what is going on here...'

'You will find out in a few minutes. Trust me.'

Loki nodded and then was quiet. _________________________________________

They stopped and Loki looked around in disgust. This place looked filthy.

"Where are we ?", Loki asked.

"At our destination.", you answered him.

"And WHERE is that ?", Loki asked clearer.

"Bespoke Tailors."

"This place looks awful.", Loki commented.

"It is planned like that, so Mortal's don't plan to explore this little village.", you explained.

"Oh."

"Don't stare, by the way. Ghastly Bespoke is...not really pretty. To put it nicely."

"He is plain ugly. He looks like an absolute horror character.", Skulduggery said.

Loki looked at you scared.

"He is not that bad. Skulduggery is joking. His whole head is covered in scars tho. It doesn't look pretty. It was a curse and nothing helped to get it away from him. His Mother was cursed and it went over to Ghastly."

"Nothing helped ?", he repeated in a question.

"Nothing helped.", you nodded.

"Oh dear..."

They then walked into the shop and you smiled. Ghastly was a good friend of yours.

A man came from the backroom and smiled.

"Erskin, Skulduggery, Valkyrie ! Nice to see you again !", a man, covered in scars, greeted them.

"Heya Ghastly !", you greeted.

(I guess you can read the most important informatons on this picture.)

"What do you need ?", he asked you and the rest.

"We need to talk.", you told him and the rest.

"Alright. Then take a seat."

You and the others went to the couch and sat down.

"Alright. What is going on ?", Valkyrie asked you and Loki again.

"Well...He is from another Dimension. I once told you about the job I have. So you can imagine.", you explained awkwardly.

"He is from another Dimension, another existence ?", Ghastly asked to clarify.

"Yep. Pretty much."

"Why is he here with you then ?", Skulduggery asked.

"We search a certain book and a helmet that belonged to Destiny Andrea Dust."

Skulduggery and Ghastly stiffened.

"She was also doing that thing ?", they asked.

"She did. Now it is me."

'Why are you lying to them ?'

'Because I died here a long time ago and it is not their time to know the truth.'

Loki was quiet again.

"Who is Destiny ?", Valkyrie asked.

"Skulduggery's dead daughter.", you answered.

"What ?! But you told me that you just had a son !"

"I did. Destiny was Genderfluid. She had her days of being she/her and the next day it was just he/him and the name was Heiko. Because she mostly was a he, I decided to stay with the term son.", Skulduggery explained.

'That is...'

'Deep ?', you asked Loki.

'Scary...'

'In every Dimension I am different with the others. Here I am Genderfluid and in your Dimension I am gifted with more than one personality. Easy.'

"So she was kind of a Transgender ?", Valkyrie asked.

"No. A Transgender complains about being born in the wrong body. A Genderfluid has kind of two gender personalities. There are many other words to call such people. But some days they want to have the pronounces of she/her and on other day it is he/him. And sometimes it is none and just they/them. Because both gender personalities are in control.", you explained.

"Oh..."

"Yep. Sometimes they are either gay, straight or lesbian. Sounds weird, but it is like that."

"Oh my god..."

"Anyway ! We drift off of the topic at hand ! The reason I am searching these things !"

"Go on...", Ghastly said.

"Well, in his Dimension we have a lot of troubles and the book, we search, would help us to avoid a terrible fate."

"You need help ?", Valkyrie offered.

"Well, I know where it is already. I just need a lot of skill, to get on it.", you laughed nervously.

"Well then good luck, Erskin.", Skulduggery said.

"Thanks. You too on your case. As soon as I have the book and saved some ass I will return and help. I promise. Bye !"

With that you teleported yourself and Loki away into a forest. You huffed.

"Okay...That was close.", you said.

"Close ?"

"Skulduggery and Valkyrie love mysteries. Finding and destroying artifacts are one of their other hobbies and they are friends with someone called China Sorrows. She is a collector and she would be after that book and even worse, she would try and use its powers. Nope. Not happening. Now come and follow me."

Loki nodded and followed you. The deeper you went into the forest, the more Loki felt watched and in danger.

"Where are we going ?", he asked.

"To a cursed part of this forest. There we will find, what we came for."

Loki's eyes widened like dinner plates on Asgard.

"What ?!", Loki whisper - yelled.

"Just a few angered skeleton ghosts, Zombies and other scary things. You will be fine.", you cheered him up.

Loki laughed darkly.

"Yeah, because I fought such things once before and totally know them !", he said sarcastically.

"Good. Then one more reason to not be surprised and worried.", you said happily.

Loki looked at you in disbelief.

"You know that I wasn't serious, right ?", Loki growled out.

You stopped and turned around, looking at him in shock.

"You joked ? Why would you joke about such a thing ?", you said in mock - shock.

Loki didn't hear the mocking and joking tho.

"No ! I have no idea !"

"Loki, I know. Just stay near me and do the same as I do. You will be fine."

Then you and Loki continued. Loki grumbling behind you. _________________________________________

You were on the run.

(belongs to SMG4 sound Library)

"SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIT !!!", you yelled the curse and ran with Loki for your lives.

Everything was chasing you two. Why ? Because Loki had to be an idiot.

"I TOLD YOU TO NOT TOUCH THAT FLOWER !! WHY DID YOU DO THAT LOKI ?!", you yelled at him.

"I WASN'T THINKING THAT IT WAS SOMETHING DANGEROUS !!"

"YOU IDIOT !!!" _________________________________________

You closed the entrance you finally found of the hidden place of your helmet and the book. You turned around and glared at the panting Loki.

"The next time you listen to me !! I know more of this Dimension than you ! I had to face everything here ! You don't know anything about this place !", you scolded him angered.

Loki looked away from you and down at the floor in shame.

"I am sorry... I was too curious..."

"Curiosity here is death. Now let's move. I want to go back home, before you get us both killed by accident.", you told him softer and helped him up.

"Okay...I am sorry still...", he mumbled softly.

You sighed.

"It doesn't matter. What matters is that we are still alive.", you tried to cheer him up.

Then you grabbed his hand and led him behind you, pulling him along to the helmet and book. _________________________________________

Soon you were in another chamber. A HUGE chamber. A silver light shone onto something shiny. You and Loki went closer and you smiled softly at what you saw.

"My helmet !", you said relieved.

"And there is the book !", Loki cheered.

You looked to his right and then saw it too.

"Yes ! We made it. As soon as we have them, I can teleport us back."

Loki wanted to run to grab the book.

"WAIT !!"

Loki stopped dead in his tracks.

"We have to pull them off of their places at the same time and quickly teleport. Here are traps everywhere. Ready to murder us if needed !"

Loki nodded and ran to the book. Having a hold of it. You grabbed your old helmet and then counted to three.

"1 !"

Loki got more ready, like you did.

"2 !"

You both broke a sweat already.

"3 !"

And you both pulled the item you held to yourselves fastly. The ground began to shake violently.

"LOKI !!! GET HERE NOW !!", you yelled in utter panic.

You both had to leave and that fast ! Loki ran to you, the ground giving in behind him. He pulled you into a tight hug, having a firm grip on the book and you quickly opened a portal below yourselves and you both fell through it. Loki let go of you, without even wanting it.

"AAAAAAHHHH !!!", Loki screamed first.

"AAAAAAAHHHH !!!", you screamed too.

Suddenly there was ground and you turned yourself around and Loki did the same, so you will land on your backs.

You firstly collided with the floor.

"OOF !!", it knocked the wind out of your lungs.

Loki collided next.

"ARGH !!", he yelled in pain as he landed.

You both tried to catch your breath after that and stayed on the floor. Loki hugged the book tightly and you the helmet.

Soon you both got up and you looked at the book. Loki just then realized that you looked again like the person, he was friends with. He and you were back in his Dimension.

"We did it...We got the second book, Loki !", you cheered.

Loki smiled in triumph. Then the smile disappeared.

"Where are we ?", he asked in confusion.

You also looked around. Your eyes soon widened.

"Oh no...", you whispered.

Okay I'm looking for a reason to procrastinate, so picture this: Star Wars Hell's Kitchen AU where everyone is more or less a disaster in the kitchen but is there because being on TV is fun and getting yelled at by super angry, British bitch, Michelin star winning but insufferable chef Armitage Hux is an experience everyone should enjoy at least once.

I present you some headcanons:

- Poe requested to be put in the same team as Kylo because he loves annoying him with his whole soul (Also because his work station is closer to Finn, the cutie pie pastry chef who's as sweet as his delicacies) and Hux accepts because "Making Ren's existence an even sadder and miserable drag than it already is makes my heart bloom. Highlight of my day, really."

- Poe has no idea how to prepare food yet he's got amazing taste buds. Can he slice an onion without crying like someone just ran over his puppy? No. Can he tell that this Wasabi contains an insufficient amount of spice with a single lick? Hell yeah. Kylo is forever salty in admitting that most foods were deemed as edible because Poe was there to be guinea pig.

- No one fucks with Kylo's dicing skills. He's a former vet, and while most of his experience came from peeling potatoes until his hands bled, his knife craft puts even the top chefs to shame. His only competition is Rey, who can't be trusted not to add her own fingers into the dish but she's better than Kylo out of pure spite.

- Finn, in the confessionals: I have no idea when or IF they plan to stop *Cut to Rey and Kylo chopping off lettuce with ridiculous speed*, -- but at least now I know I'll never have to get knocked out by Phasma when we're both grabbing vegetables. Rey is currently making enough for the whole season. Filming stopped two hours ago...Hate is a powerful motivator.

- Finn is super nice and always tries to be helpful to the other contestants even when Hux reprimands him for it. He's got a competitive streak tho and once he's in the game, he's there the WIN. Especially when desert/pastries related challenges raise. Everyone dreads those because Finn is just like Go ahead, try to grab the last bag of sugar :) No no, I don't mind :) Do it :) thAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT YOU DICKPRICK--

- Rey, in confessionals: Finn really surprised me today when he threw that mixer at Kylo. It's a shame Poe ended up taking the hit but I, personally, believe that competitiveness being expressed in such a liberating way will help our team a bunch :) *Cut to Rey high-fiving Finn after he threw his cake mix at a fearful Kylo, now hiding behind a starstruck Poe*

- Poe was kicked out more than once for laughing at Hux's scoldings. "It's just, -- He makes those faces, when he yells, or when he's angry. Either I'm a dumbass who's way too happy for his own good, or everyone here has a disturbing lack of sense of humor." He already got in enough trouble for bringing BB-8, his cutie pie corgi on set, so this takes the cake.

- "No one shames Monica for bringing that banshee she calls a kid here, so why is BB be any different? Is it because they're furry?" Kylo supports BB being on set becauseMonica's kid told him his Risotto looked ugly one time and he hasn't forgiven him since.

- Kylo's temper makes the kitchen a very interesting place because he gets mad at the weirdest things. He takes criticism with a pinch of salt but he TAKES it, no problem there, it's?? Just weird. Snoke throwing his plate to the ground, spitting on it, and calling him "The second most disgraceful trash to ever grace a kitchen since Rachel Ray appeard on screen"? Fine. He needs a walk. But Fine. The pepper is a shade too light and doesn't match the image of the dish he created In his head? Flips his shit. Studio is on fire.

- Poe in the confessionals: *Trashing noises* You know, Kylo may be an asshole sometimes, but he really does make this whole experience better for me *Knife flies by* We all need that dose of adrenaline and unknown danger lurking around us in our lives, don't we?

- Kylo will say what all his chest that he detests Poe Dameron with his whole being, but then?? He would wait for Poe to turn around and laugh at his jokes, makes sure Poe doesn't cut himself because he kept his fingers too close to the knife, feed BB-8 when no one is looking and help Poe reach things too tall for him?? Also scoff in the background when he's getting slammed by the judges like he's offended?

- Kylo while raising Poe on his shoulders to grab some spices: Poe Dameron is a national menace and I'd like to shoot him down, as he's someone I despise, deeply, passionately so.

- NO ONE GETS IT, one minute these two insult one another until all of their tapes are all covered in bleeps, or will easily be like "Hey dickhead, thanks for grabbing the lemons" "No problem fuckface, make sure you marinate that meat in the freezer before the potatoes boil" Phasma shrugs it off and says that's just how siblings are.

- Finn, in confessionals: So, obviously, Poe and I have been getting closer in the course of this competition. I still want to win, but damn that man would look better at my arm than some apron, , , Kylo does make me a bit hesitant on getting closer thought. Just the other day me and him were grabbing some wine. Poe makes his way behind us to grab some meat from the freezer and then he bends... Look, we may have been surrounded by food, but at that time? He was the only snack I wanted to eat.

I guess it was all over my face because Kylo leaned to snatch the bottle of wine in my hand and whispered : "I'll kill you" you know, like the feral bitch he is--

Episode 4 - Meng Yao has a crush & Foxglove likes to babble

Hello everybody, welcome to episode 4. I slept like a baby last night, but I have a migraine so I may sound a bit incoherent. (Post episode Foxglove here, I’m not incoherent in this, I’m just ranty)

Poor WWX. Funny story, during my first? Second? Year of Med School I fell aspleep on my biophysics notes during exam period, woke up at 9pm when my alarm for my meds started ringing, realised what I’d done and called my mum (who was on a 24h shift at the hospital) crying. In hindsight is hilarious because I had something like two weeks until the exam so I lost no more than a few hours but oh well.

Full disclosure here: I don’t like the Lan sect, LXC, LWJ and the Ducklings excluded I think they’re a bunch of hypocrites. You can’t call yourself righteous and boast about your almost 4000 rules and then shrug when people decide to commit genocide.

Also, 4000-ish rules? Fuck that noise, there’s a post floating around here where some amazing soul translated what they could see of the Wall of Rules and yeah, some of them are in the “don’t be an asshole, don’t hurt yourself or others” vein which, absolutely fair. But things like “dress properly” who are you to tell me what and how I cover my body with? “Don’t be promiscuous” wow thanks for the slut shaming my dudes. “Don’t smile foolishly/don’t smile too much”, “sit properly”, “don’t be too sad”, “don’t be too happy”. You’re telling me these are rules, not guidelines, not common sense stuff. RULES. You’re telling me people get punished for grinning or crying. Fuck off mate.

And we can’t forget the golden example of hypocrisy “Don’t talk to Wei Wuxian” so much for “don’t speak ill of others”.

Is my Western Girl showing? I’m sorry, I’m from Spain and I was raised by the guidelines “don’t be an asshole, don’t hurt yourself or others, don’t take anyone’s bullshit, live and let live, have courage and be kind, we will always love and support you” so some stuff in here is very very grating. I don’t have enough knowledge about the culture to discern if it is because of my modern sensibilities or because my culture is so different.

Oooooohhh I don’t like birds. I mean, I love crows, ravens and birds of prey to an unhealthy degree, but they keep their distance. The other day a pigeon flew into my building and decided that my (very dark) doorstep was the place to have a rest. I screamed like a banshee.

Hey, those two assholes at the back, get the fuck out of here.

LXC protective mode activated.

You will never convince me Meng Yao did not develop a monster crush right then and there.

Oh no. It’s this asshole.

Oh WangJi about to cut a bitch.

Drag him WWX.

MY’s protective mode activated.

And LXC is too done with this shit. Yep, NHS also thinks MY got a massive crush.

WQ aka Qishan Wen’s only braincell.

It’s the One Braincell Trio!

Notice me sempai! Omg JC’s faces.

This is where I dump all my canon-divergence AUs:

Meng Yao stays in Cloud Recesses. He and LXC keep gazing longingly into each other’s eyes.

NHS introduces him to the other two from the One Braincell Trio. WWX takes one look at him and goes “yep, you’re my friend now, I’m kneecapping anybody who fucks with you.” Because there’s no way he wouldn’t be sympathetic to MY after his own childhood (omg, both of them drunk, making terrible gallows’ humour jokes about living poor and mostly homeless while JC and NHS just listen horrified). JC goes into overprotective bro mode with MY. I mean, he still can’t emote for shit but he’s made very very sure that he will cut a bitch for MY and at least he knows MY has a brain, not like someone else he knows.

Shijie makes friends with MY because Shijie is a goddess and MY is so confused because how the hell does someone so kind exist? And she wants to be friends? And she doesn’t care at all about his past? What? MY.exe has stopped working.

Maybe JZX gets his head out of his ass and goes to talk to MY and warn him about what an asshole JGS is, because I refuse to think JZX doesn’t know it. Maybe MY hears him disparaging Shijie and decides that nope, the Jins can fuck right off every single one of them is a rude idiot; it’s ok with him because of his parentage (it’s not ok) but no one touches Shijie. The Yunmeng sibs is where it is at.

And that’s when he unleashes his full Slytherin powers on behalf of his new family. Because he does indeed have a fully functioning brain and shit is going to get really ugly really fast for all the people he loves if he doesn’t try and mitigate the damage somehow.

(A lot of mutual XiYao pinning is going on in the background because I live for the angst ok. LWJ fully approves of him as a brother-in-law tho)

A lot of terrible shit still happens because this is my AU and I want pain, but not only does JGS not have MY’s enormous brain on his side when he tries to seize power, he’s actively working against him (you can’t tell me MY wouldn’t get the kick of his life publicly bringing down and exposing his terrible father).

I’m sorry, back to the commentary.

This two idiots omg.

It’s WQ! Drag him WQ (gently)

I’m going to channel my ballet teacher here for a second: put your hair up! (You bunch of spider crabs, as she would call us)

I mean, JC’s hair is clearly in his face when he’s doing drills and, while the visual of all that dark hair whipping in the wind with the robes (another beef I have, they look like they’d catch on everything) is very dramatic I can assure you it’s fucking annoying. Plus it limits your visual field a lot. Again, I know jack about the culture and people can fly on swords here so why am I complaining about hair but let me live.

I used to have that much hair (then I got a pixie, now I’m growing it back out) and smacking yourself on the face with your own braid hurts.

Shijie knows what’s up with Jiang “I can only show anger” Cheng.

My one track mind when I saw the fish: Anisakis!

I think I would absolutely become a vegetarian if I got dropped in the past tbh. Not only is there no quality control of animal products (hello Trichinella), there’s also no way to do a proper cold storage (hello Salmonella). I’ve read and seen to many horror stories due to contaminated animal byproducts and, while vegetables pose their own risk (hello E. Coli) usually you only have to be thorough at washing and peeling to not have trouble.

5am wake up call without coffee. Fuck that noise.

Wei “I’m a petty gremlin” Wuxian.

I once called WWX a “mad scientist with ADHD” on an AO3 comment and I stand by that assessment.

Ok, but why the turtle caricature? It’s because turtles are “old and wise” like LQR? Is that the joke? Or are they laughing at WWX’s balls?

AW NO PAPERMAN.

“Tell me, what would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood? // Where, would you look if I asked you to get me a bezoar? // And what is the difference between monkshood and wolfsbane?” It’s pretty much the same energy. LQR is Ancient magic China’s version is Severus Snape down to the pettiness. He tries to catch WWX in a mistake, and when he can’t he dismisses his knowledge (look at Shijie’s face when he says WWX should not be proud to know what he does). He keeps pushing until WWX’s runs into a wall, then uses LWJ to “show him how it’s done” I mean, look how smug he looks and how uncomfortable everyone else is.

“Pity... clearly, fame isn't everything.”

(No, I don’t like LQR and I don’t like Severus Snape either; tragic past and sacrifices do not give you a pass to abuse children don’t @ me, I’m not interested in changing my mind)

And here is where all my “mad scientist with ADHD” hc stem from.

“No screaming in Cloud Recesses.” Screams LQR (yes, I’m 100% that bitch)

WEN NING IS HERE HI WN YOURE SO PRECIOUS.

But intercepting an arrow mid flight is some Geralt of Rivia Witcher bullshit right there.

Detective Wei strikes again.

The scenery is gorgeous my god.

Can we talk again about how this 16-year-old boy reacted to someone sneaking up on him by drawing his sword and attacking? That’s not fucking normal, that’s a common reflex in soldiers or people with PTSD.

(The Netflix translation has him calling LWJ “WangJi” and I die)

Thanks for reading!

Gold Dust Women: My Favorite Witchy Singers

Okay, before you burn me alive with “Where’s this certain artist?!” or “Why is this certain artist not here?!” or “Who even uses Tumblr these days?”, uhmmm me bish?? It’s my safe zone. Okay, the last question was a joke.

Can I just say that the amazing women on this list are artists I listen to all the time. They’re my favorites, so chill (I’m open for suggestions tho). This is not Rolling Stone or Billboard magazine, it’s just ya girl’s good ol’ tumblr blog. Also, I’m not saying that all of them are literal w i t c h e s, it’s just that they portray the same aesthetic through their art and music.

Alright, now that’s settled, let’s start.

1. STEVIE NICKS

Do I even need to explain this? Stevie is undoubtedly the Etheral Queen of them all, the Pioneer, the O.G. Supreme whose lyrical soul and spellbinding voice echoes from the distant past to the inevitable future. Everything about her oozes with witchcraft and magic starting from her iconic top hat, to her millions of intricately made shawls, down to her platform boots. Only Stevie Nicks could pull off such Not-of-this-Era outfits and she has been doing it CONSISTENTLY. She’s in a timeline of her OWN. If you listen to her music, you would notice that every song of hers is poetry, like she’s telling a story or conjuring the unknown. She’s every witchy woman’s icon and that’s a fact.

Stevie is an untouchable yet gracious legend, we’ll always be a part of her sisterhood until the day of earth’s decay. Forever the Queen of Rock N’ Roll.

Current Favorite Stevie Lyrics: “ You can fly swinging from your trapeze, scaring all the people...but you'll never scare me.” | “Once in a million years a lady like her rises. Oh no, Rhiannon, you cry, but she's gone and your life knows no answer.”

Notice how I used the word “current”? Because it always changes depending on the state my life. Here’s a more detailed post on why I love her.

2. KATE BUSH

“Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy, I've come home, I'm so cold! Let me in through your window!”

The eccentric beauty, Kate Bush made a genius, artistic move by writing a song about the book, Wuthering Heights, written by Emily Brontë in the 1800′s. Mind you, she was only 18 when she wrote and was the first song written by a female artist that landed on top the charts. Her voice is almost as distinctive as Stevie Nicks. While Stevie’s more nasal, commanding, wailing rock n’ roll goddess, Kate’s voice was high-pitched, alarming, ghostly, queer, and fairy-like. Everything about her is Performance Art. This is a woman who is not afraid to express herself.

For starters, you might think her music is strange and weird. Trust me, I felt the same way when I first heard her songs. But then, it began to grow on me leaving floral patterns on its path.

Favorite Kate Bush Lyrics: “Do you want to feel how it feels? Do you want to know that it doesn't hurt me? Do you want to hear about the deal that I'm making? You, it's you and me.”

3. FLORENCE WELCH

This one is as obvious as Stevie Nicks. Florence Welch from the band, Florence + the Machine, is a poetess, a screaming banshee, and a full-pledged Sister of the Moon. She even started a witch coven during middle school. From her red carpet looks to her everyday outfits on Instagram, Florence vibrates powerful witch energy. Not to mention she has a song called “Which Witch” and that haunting music video for Big God with levitating women. Flo is not a woman to trifle with, I’ll tell you that.

Photos courtesy of @lillieeiger

In all her songs, Florence will bind you with magic and it’ll leave you breathless. If Stevie’s songs are poetry, hers are spells you could sing out loud. Also, if you haven’t seen her house tour, go check it now!

Favorite Florence Welch Lyrics: “'Cause I am done with my graceless heart so tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart.” | “And in a moment of joy and fury I threw myself in the balcony like my grandmother so many years before me.”

4. LANA DEL REY

Remember when Lana used witchcraft to hex Donald Trump? It was all over the news and Twitter went wild. She was later quoted saying, “I really do believe that words are one of the last forms of magic and I’m a bit of a mystic at heart.” Oh, and she also did a collab with Stevie.

We. Stan. Forever.

There was even a time that I MEMORIZED the monologue in the music video for Ride. ALL OF IT, HUNNY.

Lana’s hypnotizing vocals together with her sixties baby doll dresses and Priscilla Presley hair is enough to convince me that she’s not of this era. She has a deep understanding of the beauty of past generation and the looming sadness and nostalgia that comes with it. Whenever I listen to her music, I imagine myself as a rockstar’s muse who is involved with the mafia but then I decided to leave him while taking his gun and convertible. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Favorite Lana Del Rey Lyrics: “Well, my boyfriend's in the band. He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed. I've got feathers in my hair, I get down to Beat poetry. And my jazz collection's rare, I can play most anything.”

5. LORDE

David Bowie didn’t call her the “future of music” for nothing. Just two albums under her belt, Lorde already proved that she will one day become a legend herself. Her music narrates an unparalleled interpretation of the anguish and fleeting charm of our youth. She knows what we’re feeling because she’s been there herself and is on the road to healing just like us.

I think the message she’s trying to say is that we’re constantly losing grip on our innocence, and that life is often wicked so we need to accept that, grit our teeth, get on with it, and make art. She can also see color when she hears music.

In my opinion, Lorde is one of the greatest artists of my generation.

Favorite Lorde Lyrics: “The truth is I am a toy that people enjoy till all of the tricks don't work anymore, and then they are bored of me.” | “That slow burn wait while it gets dark, bruising the sun, I feel grown up with you in your car. I know it's dumb.”

6. FKA TWIGS

Honestly, FKA Twigs is literally art in living form, a celestial angel that nobody can easily decipher. This woman has more talent in her fingertips than I could ever have in a lifetime. She somehow reminds me of a young Kate Bush; fearless, experimental, with an intoxicating voice. She never stops reinventing herself and it’s beautiful.

In FKA Twigs’ world, there are no limits, just endless galaxies. She pours her whole being in all of her songs and it shows. She’s not for the faint of heart, let me tell you that.

Favorite FKA Twigs Lyrics: “And I don't want to have to share our love. I try but I get overwhelmed. All wrapped in cellophane, the feelings that we had.”

7. SKOTT

I say this all the time, but I cannot write without Skott’s music blasting on my earphones. She grew up in a “forest commune run by outcast folk musicians” and was not exposed to contemporary music until her teen years. You would notice it in her songs.

It’s hard to explain why, but listen to Skott’s music when there’s thunder and rain outside, then you’ll know why this woman is witchy. I kind of want her to be more popular and known, but then again, I also want to keep her to myself. Scratch that, LISTEN TO SKOTT’S MUSIC NOW.

Start with Glitter & Gloss.

Favorite Skott Lyrics: “Like an empty canvas, hear me cry. Like a masterpiece, I'm in your eyes. Now your colors are in front of me, we're a picture-perfect oddity.”

8. FIRST AID KIT

I fell in love with this sister duo when I first heard their song, Emmylou, while browsing YouTube. It’s one of those moments of instant magic. Klara and Johanna Söderberg are a coven of their own. I would describe their music as “Woodland Folk laced with runes and wild flowers”.

Their voices compliment each other so much that it reminded me of Simon & Garfunkel (they even performed their own version of America in front of Paul Simon!!!). First Aid Kit has this Woodstock seventies vibe, and you know me, I live for that sh*t.

Favorite First Aid Kit Lyrics: “ When I run through the deep dark forest long, after this begun, where the sun would set, the trees were dead and the rivers were none. And I hope for a trace to lead me back home from this place, but there was no sound there was only me, and my disgrace.”

9. ZOLA JESUS

Zola Jesus’ music deserves to be played with an orchestra inside an abandoned castle in Transylvania while it gently rains and you’re wearing a white nightgown as you roam its empty halls. Is that too much?

Not at all.

Like Skott, I listen to Zola whenever I’m having writer’s block. If I ever finish my book, I’m gonna have to thank them.

Favorite Zola Jesus Lyrics: “I'm on my bed, my bed of stones, but in the end of the night we'll rest our bones, so don't you worry. Just rest your head cause in the end of the night we'll be together again.”

10. ZELLA DAY

Photo Credits to Harper Smith

I LOVE ZELLA DAY’S MUSIC OH MY GOODNESS. My favorite songs of her are Sweet Ophelia, Hypnotic, Man on the Moon, and Hunnie Pie. ESPECIALLY HUNNIE PIE. I cry whenever I hear that song. It’s just so pure, calming, and beautiful.

Her music belong in the psychedelic era.

People labeled her as the “happier version of Lana Del Rey” but I think she’s in a league of her own. She deserves more recognition, honestly!

Favorite Zella Day Lyrics: “The older we get there's an ocean of people in places we've chosen and you know how mama keeps saying “we've gotta stop the games we're playing””.

Hope you guys approve of my list! I really like sharing stuff that I love! Feel free to message me for more suggestions, I’d really appreciate to know more witchy artists out there. We’re all in a huge coven of sisterhood.

Thanks for reading!

Love,

Ria 🌙

P.S.

Please follow my blog!!! THANK YOU 🔮
