i recently remembered DickTim Week 2024 is happening very soon and i looked at the prompts again to see if i could get anything out for it and. the Hades & Persephone AU prompt for day 1 has got me really thinking so here's a vague concept i plan to write.
i've been pretty burnt out on modern Hades & Persephone retellings because of how they always seem to fall into the same generic "innocent wide-eyed girl runs from her evil mean mother into the arms of a dark mysterious man because actually she went willingly and chose to marry him" which has gotten repetitive for my tastes. (for clarity i don't care if this retelling is your cup of tea personally, so long as you're not actively trying to rewrite the original myth and claim untrue things about it, if this is your favorite flavor i sincerely hope you enjoy the buffet i just have little interest in it since it feels overdone for me and exhausted of it's supposed commentary atp)
but? but. biblically accurate Hades & Persephone AU has me all kinds of interested. because wait listen so hear me out right. Hades!Dick and Persephone!Tim, obviously. i feel it'd be more loosely inspired by with themes and imagery (though playing with death and nature powers could be interesting, i haven't decided) rather than explicitly making them gods and all. but. something dark and fucked up where Dick and Bruce are especially estranged. maybe to do with Jason's return, maybe to do with them just clashing and having their usual explosive arguments. and Bruce knows the peace needs to be kept, if he and Dick are at odds then everyone starts to pick sides and things just fracture so he needs a peace offering.
and the peace offering is Tim.
Bruce (the stand-in for Zeus) offers up Tim. agrees to have Tim move to Bludhaven and be Dick's... whatever Dick wants him to be. knowing that with the implication comes the likelihood of Dick grooming Tim. and Tim has no real say and is hesitant to put up a real fight. he doesn't want this, he knows what this is going to imply Dick will do to him, but he also knows if he says no things have the possibility to just... fall apart. so he's the unwilling bride, dragged off to the metaphorical underworld (Bludhaven) with Dick, away from his family, his friends, the life he built.
and on the flip side, i think weirdly enough, your best pick for the Demeter stand-in is *Jason*. just, hear me out on that. not necessarily on the side of it being motherly, but on Jason being just estranged enough from the Batfamily to be the one willing to call it out for being bad and wrong and raising bloody hell to get Tim back. maybe it's because Jason wants Tim for himself, maybe it's truly out of a concern for Tim to have autonomy, i'm toying with the idea of it primarily being Tim's POV and him genuinely not knowing which of these is true. (and the truth possibly ends up being a complicated middle ground) and because i like Helena, i think you can use her as the Hekate stand in, the one who strikes a tentative alliance with Jason and tries to go find Tim and bring him back. Tim stuck with Dick, getting groomed and hyperaware of it, possibly even getting fucked the whole time as well, knowing he can't go back without causing massive issues for Dick and Bruce because well, Bruce did promise him to Dick. so he has to adjust his whole life, try to figure out being a vigilante in this new city with Dick breathing down his neck the whole time.
and then much like the ending of the myth, a sort of compromise is struck that's a shaky deal for everyone involved. Tim is put on an essential timeshare, going back and forth between Gotham, where he has friends and family and a support system, then getting dragged right back to Bludhaven with Dick in this brutal cycle that he slowly gets used to and stockholm'd into even liking it. Dick isn't so bad, once he gets used to the quirks of their unbalanced 'relationship'. the sex is even something he can adjust to as well. not quite a happy ending but one that sits in this realistic grey area that becomes Tim's life.
i will write this, eventually, but i don't know if i'll get to it before DickTim Week ends so by posting the idea i'm essentially putting it out into the world so the peer pressure holds me accountable. i just. really like the potential of making Hades/Persephone AUs as fucked up as they can be simply by adhering to the source material and making it a raw story of being stolen away and forced to like this new home you didn't ask for.
also a less fleshed-out aspect of this idea i have ties into Persephone becoming the Queen of the Underworld when she's taken and how the transition from Kore to Persephone could be reflected in Tim. how he makes the best of the worst situation and becomes something far more dangerous and dark when he's in Bludhaven, possibly takes on a new vigilante name/identity and leans into the worst quirks of his personality he tries to tamper because there's no point in not going full tilt Obsessively Weird if he has no choice anyway and it being one small way he takes back his autonomy, and that inevitably making Dick *more* into him, because he gets to see Tim finally just. let loose.
#dicktim#timdick#batcest#necrotic festerings#necrotic works in progress#dicktim week 2024#fandom event#this will be written i've just got a pile of things before it.#i'm mostly posting it so i don't fucking forget about it#i'm also interested in some of the other prompts#day 2 is full of goodies. and day 7.#but the other prompts are probably ideas that'll be shorter and quicker#this one i feel. if i rlly fucking ran with it. could go on to be a novella length idea.#idk how long it'll get when i write it#but there will be smut this i promise you#also i'm respectfully begging y'all pls don't do hades/persephone myth discourse on this post#i really *don't* care if you like romantic retelings i promise. they're just not my vibe#and i also promise i am *incredibly* well read on this myth#if you try to give me the “well in some versions-” argument i'm *going* to get incredibly boring with so many sources.#like i will go step by step through every ancient version of this myth.#i save that discourse for spiritual spaces tho so pls don't drag it here i will combust#anyway making jason the demeter stand in is funny bc greek mythos also does do the incest pretty hard#so like. it still works. it's funny#how long will this take i honestly cannot tell you#depends on if i cave and bump it up in the queue bc it's behind like. four fics i'm so sorry.#but you're welcome to send asks or whatnot to shout at me about this idea and 'yes and' me#that applies to any of my ideas anyone is welcome to 'yes and' that shit#it delights me dearly.#my sole hang up on this rn is how godly do i make it. do i give them powers. or do i just make it vaguely inspired by the myth.#both are fun for their own reasons.

*pulls pillow off my head* ok done screaming. so how about that Zeb cameo in The Mandalorian today, folks? anyone else hold their breath for a second thinking "no, it's just a Lasat, there's no way--" before hearing Steve Blum's voice and going "OH SHIT OH SHIT IT'S HIM" and stopping the episode for a solid minute or two to deal with the overwhelming excitement and message their friend in all caps? or is that just me?

so when is the tumblr algorithm going to stop showing me alterhumanity posts from p-shifters already
#this is not a jab at people with genuinely diagnosed clinical lycanthropy or mental health issues relating to their therianthropy#nor is it a jab at anyone with DAs or beliefs about their nonhumanity that are rooted in psychosis or other other delusional disorders#i used to think i had symptoms of physical nonhumanity as well#but i don't endorse leaning into it or encouraging others to lean into it#because the p-shifting community has the potential to open up SO MANY people to spiritual psychosis and abuse#ofc this isn't the case for everyone and if you're not hurting others and only hurting yourself then that's a personal choice#and its within your SELF autonomy to identify as physically nonhuman#but i still don't think its a view that should be encouraged#if that makes sense?#rbs turned off for this one bc i can't trust any of y'all not to come barking and snapping at my ankles#flaps my wings and puffs my feathers defensively#tseer tseer i make these posts from a place of no fear

being the mother at the center of a household (the man is also a dependent) sounds like hell on earth, actually.
#i watched it wear down my mother's already tenuous grasp on reality#the mental load is too much for one person and most men don't care they happily let their female partner do it all#i myself have never been in a relationship where i felt looked after beyond the beginning of it#once men think they have wooed you they drop the effort and hope you don't notice#i'm single and childless in my 30s but you know what else i am?#not stressed#moisturized#rested#without a man and children draining my life force#capitalism does that enough#if a man does not add tangible value to your life please stop popping out his babies and cleaning his shitstained underwear i beg y'all#my friend's husband is the only man i've ever witnessed who is a true partner in the sense of the word#he cooks he cleans he takes care of their baby WITHOUT BEING ASKED NAGGED OR TOLD#he just sees things that need to be done that would make his wife's life easier and does them#he is kind of a boring guy but you know what#maybe with men boring is good#i need to stop chasing intellectual or physical excitement if a man makes you feel excited he is probably toxic#so i retain extremely cautious optimism when it comes to males#and you know what? i can tell that she is a woman who is CARED for. she glows. there is just something about a woman's aura#when a man is taking care of her physically emotionally spiritually financially and logistically#conversely you can tell when a man is draining a woman's mana they literally make us ill#personal

Halloween AU!!!
hey so. i put SOOOOO much effort into this au and for what? at least it ended up looking cool? anyways Halloween is my favorite holiday and i just HAD to make something for them!
i had a LOT of ideas for what everyone would be, but i really wanted to stick to a certain theme cause it's based around Halloween. i knew i had to have a vampire, werewolf, and a witch. cause like... obviously. iconic Halloween stuff!! but i took some liberties with everyone else and i think they turned out pretty cool!!
Jason was originally a fox shifter (which i still love and might draw art for some day) but i went with a bear in the end. is that because i thought about tiny bear cub Jaybin and wanted to cry? yeah. yeah it is. i KNEW Steph was going to be my werewolf though i started doubting myself when i went to draw her. turned out to be my favorite drawing on here which makes sense cause she is my light my love my daughter my will to live and all that jazz
Tim was actually gonna be a harpy but thank god i didn't go for that in the end. Duke was the one that was a bitch and a half trying to figure out BUT!! comments on the post asking what y'all thought led me towards Psychic so THANK YOUUUU everybody that commented!! (specifically those who thought of ghost!! Duke and Tim ended up being a perfect duo in this au)
Babs was pretty easy to figure out what I wanted for her. I read somewhere that they are seen as protectors of forests/ are considered spiritual authority figures and also.... she looks cool as fuck. Did not expect how easy it was to find a ref for a deer in a wheelchair though? I can never find the right hand or face angle reference but that was super easy???
For Bruce there was literally no question he HAD to be human. it's literally so funny that everyone who knows Batman thinks he's a spooky vampire but he's human. his first son, however?????? THAT'S the vampire. I knew Dick had to be a vampire too. A little nod towards that one comic run but in my au nothing bad happens ever 🥰 Damian also being a bat shifter is very on purpose because how funny is it that he's a bat man. Literally not a single person in the League thinks that Bruce is telling the truth about being human. Bruce you are NOT beating the secretly a vampire allegations.
adding in Jay's hilarious joke it's so fucking funny:
Alfred is actually a demon. I CAN NOT remember who made this post so if someone can help me find it, it would be appreciated!! because this was inspired by them!!! but somewhere i saw someone talk about Alfred being a demon that Thomas and Martha made a deal with (i think it was for an au idea?) and I just HAD to put it here. Alfred looks so human and everyone expects it, but he's definitely not. I put the ??? because it's so fucking funny. see if you can spot the 1 hint i put on his drawing that something is amiss!!
Peter is from an alternate dimension still, but it is not a world of creatures like him, it's just the same as LoF canon except Peter grew some extra limbs and eyes. He finds that it's actually pretty easy to fit in with the Waynes. Hard to feel like a freak when a guy can turn into a fucking bear, or your dad is a vampire, and the teenagers in the family are trying to summon ghosts or make potions.
additional doodles for this au:
i am still debating whether i am going to draw something for this au or write a oneshot, but i DO want to do something with these for Halloween
#(putting a hypnosis thingmabob in front of you)#oooooo you don't notice i forgot peter's tooth gap in the character design sheets#oooooo#you're getting veryyy sleepy and so you don't notice#listen he was the last one i drew and i worked on this for 9 hours#halloween au#halloween#erinwantstowrite#ao3#ao3 fanfic#leap of faith ao3#peter parker#leap of faith catch me if you can#leap of faith#thank you for the ask!#dick grayson#bruce wayne#jason todd#tim drake#steph brown#cassandra cain#duke thomas#babs gordon#damian wayne#alfred pennyworth#batfamily#batfam#art#character design#character illustration

Since it's Halloween 2024, that means that Rafael is/was turning 14 years old today!
Rafael's Halloween Birthday Bash
So, considering last night was a full moon, I can say we are in the clear!
Anyhoo: Me and @ambroselaveau90 love to talk about Legacies and what we would have done if we wrote the show. So, yeah, we envision how things go and just roll from there.
And for those who are confused: Harmony is my OC for the TVD Universe! Check out Inheritance!
Now, a while back, we were coinciding the 2020 Full Moon with Legacies (which was 2 aka absolute hell for the werewolves), and here's what happened:
Setting: Season 2, before the Prison World Arc
Rafael's birthday is discovered to be on October 31st. Everyone knew he was born in October, but Harmony Mikaelson Kenner was surprised to find out it was that particular date.
Turns out, it wasn't something he informed because his former foster families tended to forget or not care (with maybe one showing minimum effort!)
Learning this, Harmony decided to throw him a birthday party at the Old Mill with Landon's help. Rafael - knowing she won't take no for an answer - reluctantly accepted this.
However, in the midst of the beginning stages of her plan, the school is called to an assembly, which much to her disappointment, was called by Lizzie.
It got worse: With leftover funds, Lizzie is planning an IMMENSE Halloween Bash that "makes the Great Hall in Hogwarts look like decorations from Dollar Tree!"
Angry because this meant Rafael's birthday would be ignored, Harmony stands up, stalks towards Lizzie, and chews her out in the process while causing the room to quake in anger. Lizzie dismisses why Harmony would be against it until she blurts out that it's Rafael's birthday - which causes all eyes to go to Rafael (who looks away in embarrassment).
Hearing this, Lizzie feels a bit of shame for not knowing this (and silently blames her spies) but tries to excuse that maybe Rafael wouldn't mind otherwise he would have said something sooner. Harmony doesn't take this well and it results in a screaming match with shocking tremors throughout the out school until Rafael gets in-between them and stops it before the school collapses in itself!
While a bit pissed at Harmony for spilling the beans, he knows it was done unintentionally with pure devotion. So, he calls a truce: Combine both their ideas and make it a Halloween Birthday Bash (presents optional). He's never had a good birthday anyway, except for Landon and his late girlfriend, Cassie.
The girls shake on the truce (with students now looking to Rafael as a God and debating what to give him now that he saved the school!)
To be fair, no one said the girls had to work together, but a frustrated Harmony wreaked earthquakes throughout the school trying.
As far as planning goes: The colors for Halloween (orange, black, purple, etc) were okay. Flying pumpkin lanterns was a must, though whether they're carved or not was a tight vote! Harmony got Kaleb officially on board to be a major part of the band, which switched between DJ and live entertainment. (She asked him if he would mind dressing up like Stevie Wonder and singing "Superstitious" & he was already rehearsing!)
The biggest arguments had been about the cake (size, shape, flavor).
Rafael is being vague in helping, which is good and bad because as much as Harmony wants to go to town with it, she wants to cater to Rafael.
Next was the music choices. While getting Kaleb on board was a bonus, what's appropriate for a Halloween bash has many, many selections to choose from.
Next is food and decorations, which follows a theme and that's left unsaid and in the care of Alyssa and Josie.
At some point, it gets too much and Rafael yells at Harmony...who just stands silently and slams the clipboard containing everything she planned into his chest before walking away (leaving her hurt and him feeling like an ass).
Hearing that Lizzie's going to be in charge of planning everything from now on, Landon and a pissed Alyssa go to Rafael, who's hiding in the Old Mill with Harmony's clipboard. After some biting comments from the witch, Rafael reveals he's overwhelmed because his birthday signifies the day he was given up for adoption...and the last good birthday he had by his adopted parents before he died. They died in an accident the night of his tenth birthday and it haunts him. Add in foster care and the times his birthday with unanswered, Cassie and Landon were the only ones to low key celebrate it. Then here Harmony comes, trying to make it the biggest event of the century and it just...overwhelms him.
Alyssa stands quietly before she calmly chews him out:
Alyssa: Really? Because you had bad things and unattentive people place a dark shadow on the most important day of your life, it means it's cursed or something? I swear I don't know how you dated Harmony at all if you don't know her at this point. Look, I can go at this several ways, but I'll be clinical. Harmony was born after her kidnapped mother's labor was induced by witches who wanted to sacrifice her and Hope and on that very same day, her mother was killed. If not for their blood, she would've stay dead! Then, because of her dick of a dad, her mother - who already lost the first 6 months of her life sending her away to protect her and then only was reunited with her for 2 months - was cursed to be stuck in wolf form and missed her first birthday. The next 5 years were traveling around the country and she met people who had it better and worse than her. Add in the fact she was tortured and well, her 8th birthday was more of a distraction than a happy event. But then, she lives in the city where her family has caused people irreversible damage. She realizes she's white, privileged and if she can bring people joy, she can do it. Do you see Hope planning this? No, because Harmony can't help but think of others, even on her special day! If anything, you have to make it special when she forgets! But you wanna know what she did for my birthday? She had my favorite food made, pulled out my favorite movies, and decked out the Old Mill to look like a tented theatre. She's not doing to win a popularity contest or something! She's doing this because she wants to, putting all her energy into this. After all, it's a friend who she truly cares about, even after he hurt her. And you're also in the wrong because you should have told her this sooner! She may be a Seer, but she has enough self-control that she won't force it from you. You have to tell her. She wouldn't have fought with Lizzie over this and just convinced the school pack to sneak away to celebrate it! But you just sat back and got angry when all she's doing, all she's ever wanted to do, was give people who didn't have it as good as her something amazing to look back on. It's hard some days to see her as selfish because she's too busy giving herself for others! This (points to the clipboard) is for YOU! The werewolf born on Halloween, who's lost people as the world beat him down, who now has a place with friends who understand him with his brother by his side, who she wants to have a goddamn great birthday because simply he deserves it! It's the least the world can give him. And from what you told us since the world rarely lets that happen, then Harmony will make it happen! Look, I'm not saying this to guilt-trip you, I'm just telling you to look at how far you've come, look at what Harmony has done for you, and accept this rare gift of someone planning the celebration of your life. Because you are cared for and loved and if you weren't born, someone would feel your loss. Despite your tragedies, you are someone's reason to keep going and that's enough to celebrate."
Alyssa walks away, leaving an impression on the boys.
Landon: I never thought I see her that passionate before. Make me kinda understand why she's Harmony's best friend.
Rafael: Yeah (looks back at the clipboard)
Harmony's list: Decorations?✔ Flying pumpkin (carved)?✔ Levitating food platters?✔ Food and snack bar?✔ Red punch and animal blood distinguished?✔ Music setlist?✔ 90s Halloween themes from movies?✔ Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' Ninja Rap on the setlist?✔ Convincing the pack to dress as the Turtles and do the dance? (Pending) Cake?❌ Rafael's preference?❌ Cake size?❌ Rafael's costume preference?❌ Asking Nekkie to bring Cassie back for a night? (Pending)...
The list went on and on and Rafael realize just why Harmony's been tailing him and why she was putting the effort into his birthday. And she was seriously considering bringing his ex back for his birthday!? He didn't like the Necromancer, but he found Harmony amusing, so a favor like that?
Rafael: I need to talk to Harmony.
Rafael looks all over for Harmony until he realizes she's at her dorm. He knocks but when she opens it before he gets a word out, she slams it in his face! Can't say he didn't deserve it.
He kept knocking, but once he heard Citizen Soldier blaring and he had no choice but to talk loudly to explain himself. He explained the day of his birth, his adoptive parents dying, the neglect he experienced on his birthday, the fact that Landon and Cassie were the last time he had a not-so-bad birthday before he killed Cassie, and how he had always thought his birthday had been cursed. Like he didn't deserve to even celebrate it. But then he lists off all the things from Harmony's clipboard and once he got to Cassie, he choked up because that was when he knew just how much she must've cared to ask the freakin' Necromancer a favor just to make his day special! And he apologizes for blowing up at her when all she was trying to do was something great for him that not a lot of people did before.
He hears the music stop and looks to see Harmony open the door, a bit teary-eyed, and pulls him in. She asks him why he just didn't tell her and he replies it was because he knew once she put her mind to something, it was hard to stop. A miscommunication on both their parts, though he still should have spoken up before she put all that effort in. He asks her if she would have brought Cassie back, to which she responds that she would and now she's getting ideas to add his late adoptive parents in for closure!
For the first time, he smiles at the thought and realizes he didn't deserve her. He tells her not to, he made peace with their deaths a long time ago.
Out of nowhere, Harmony started spouting out facts: "Did you know you're one of few babies born on Halloween? In October, there's a massive decline in childbirth on Halloween leading some to believe expectant mothers somehow consciously withhold their labors to avoid the negative perceptions Halloween carries for their babies. And take away that fact that you were, did you know it's most unlikely you would've been born on Halloween at all? Or did you know that October babies are more likely to be good at sports? And even have the potential for the presidency? Did you know you are most likely to live to see your 100th birthday? That you are likely born with a healthy heart and good mental health? Well, I say 50/50 to those two if you hadn't gone through hell."
Rafael: (shocked yet smiles) No, I didn't know that.
Harmony: (smiles) "Anyways, as unlikely as the event was, you are a Halloween baby, which means special perks. Like you're a Scorpio, so that means you're prone to bouts of passion and intense bouts of determination, loyal, dependable, creative, and just instinctively a good leader, however, you're also prone to being a mischief-maker and short-tempered, especially on Halloween which counteracts with the boost of loyalty you'll get. Now, you also share a few birthdays with Willow Smith, Christopher Columbus (ooooh, I am so sorry about that!), Robert Van Winkles aka Vanilla Ice (Rafael: No wonder you capitalized on the Ninja Rap!/Harmony: Shut up!) Oh, and Peter Jackson, whom you and Landon have to thank for directing the LOTR trilogy!"
Rafael: (laughs) Okay, so is that all the fun stuff?
Harmony: (mock gasps) Oh, not even close! There's the extra special stuff that comes with being born on Samhain!
Rafael: (Eyes widen) Oh, I pray you do not mean-
Harmony: Did you know babies born on Halloween have Second Sight aka the ability to see spirits? (Smirks)
Rafael: (groans) That was the first thing I expected to come out of your mouth.
Harmony: (laughs) Oh, if you had been born normal, I have no doubt that would have been as far into our world as you would've gotten! But there's more to it! Yes, It's one of the facts, being able to communicate with spirits, but Second Sight is kinda like seeing into the future, like what I am supposed to do if I wasn't Girl, Interrupted, and it's sudden. Like a piece of knowledge just appears in your mind, no matter how small. Speaking of which, you are also immune to evil spirits, another perk point! Did you know you could read dreams as well? And do you wanna know the best one of all?
Rafael: What?
Harmony: Babies born on Samhain were thought to be the next kings and knights.😏
They spend hours checking everything off Harmony's clipboard (Cake? Chocolate but gooey, velvet texture to make it look bloody? Cassie? Not happening. Rafael's costume? Already decided but nothing ninja turtle or werewolf related.)
By the next day, Harmony was surprised to hear Lizzie and Josie were having a tough time. Turns out Alyssa was having a bit too much fun making sure everything about Rafael's side of things could only be answered by Harmony herself.
Speaking of the witch, Rafael went to her dorm to thank her for helping him see the bigger picture with Harmony and his birthday. A bit snarky accepting it, Alyssa said instead of thanks, she wanted the simple favor of debuting something she'd been working on during the party. Something that would "make Lizzie ruin her costume with cake".
As much as Rafael was confused by her motives, he gave Alyssa his blessing to debut whatever the hell she was planning. Part of him really wanted to warn Harmony and Lizzie, but the last time he did something stupid, he got hex bags all over the place and a heartbroken/pissed tribrid.
Then came the actual day, which he shouldn't have let his guard down.
First, he wake up to a skeleton sleeping beside him (and gave Landon hell for it by chasing him around school when he found him!)
Then, he opened his door to a lot of presents. As in half could only fill up the entire room and would take days to go through (turns out keeping Lizzie and Harmony from fighting made him some type of saviour.)
Next, he got so many birthdays and well wishes from his classmates.
His breakfast was flapjacks that looked very much like a werewolf.
He was allowed to help put up the decorations (but only bare minimum, Lizzie's idea), but was ultimately either outside picking up the bonfire (clearly Harmony's idea) or inside his room, to be called upon for the big night.
Landon was the one who escorts him to the party where MG announces his arrival. (Cue a scene in which Kaleb is singing "Superstitious" on the piano)
Costumes: Landon as a player from Squid Games, Harmony as a Witch (black, pointy hat and colorful costume), Hope as an Angel, MG as Michael Jackson from Thriller, Kaleb as Stevie Wonders, Josie as Wednesday Addams and Lizzie as Carrie White on prom night (before the pig blood)
The party went underway as it continued into the night, but not without a few hiccups. Some of the punch spilled on others (someone had a bright idea to say the labels were switched) and the food was fantastic and his favorites. Songs like Thriller (followed by an epic dance battle between Kaleb and MG) followed by other 90s and 2000s Halloween songs. By the time the cake came out, Rafael was floored. The cake had a graveyard theme with the coating brown and black with "bones" sticking out...and was HUGE! It was 5 layers high, but big enough that the school could get seconds and thirds if they wanted. He had to climb a podium to reach the spaced-out candles on top (lit with a small fire spell, no less)
The entire school gathers around as they sang "Happy Birthday" cheerfully, if not eerily. Hauntingly.
Rafael blew and took out all the candles in one blow (he suspects they were enchanted to do so but doesn't care.)
By the time, the song ended, all of the lights cut off, except for the starry illusion on the ceiling.
Rafael didn't know what was going on and he could hear Harmony and Lizzie getting ready to search out the source of the issue when suddenly a low, haunting tone started to play around them:
"Come little children
I'll take thee away
Into a land of enchantment
Come little children
The time's come to play
Here in my garden of shadows..."
Following the music, the students followed the singing as it continues to pick up. Slowly, the lanterns started to light up again overhead as they passed them.
The school found themselves back in the Grand Hall and looked up as the lanterns were lit up bright enough for them to see Alyssa, dressed as a witch renaissance style, with a broom in hand....standing on the baluster overlooking the entire school!
A few students look like they're about to move forward as Alyssa sang sang the last verse:
"Come little children
I'll take thee away
Into a land of enchantment
Come little children
The time's come to play
Here in my garden of shadows."
And with that, jumped off the baluster, causing everyone to scream out in front...
Only...
Lizzie's jaw dropped and the third serving of cake fell on her dress, a red smear falling on it.
Harmony's expression was that of from shock to an incredibly wide, shit-eating grin!
Lizzie: She didn't...
Harmony: (incredibly smug) Oh, fuck yeah she did!
Right before everyone, right up in the air, Alyssa was safe....riding a flying broomstick!
Alyssa: (smirking) Happy birthday, Rafael.
Alyssa threw back her head and let out a loud, cackling laughter that scared the shit out of everyone and she held the head of the broom before taking off around the room!
Rafael, looking at the display that he was told was impossible on his first day at Salvatore, now understood why she asks to make her debut.
She had brought flying broomsticks back into the modern-day!
He turned to see, as Alyssa had promised, Lizzie's jaw dropped and ruined her dress with cake. Harmony looked like she was seeing prepared to start hero-worshipping any minute as she hyped up and cheered as her best friend flew above the room.
Alyssa leaned to the side as she dipped and snatched Harmony's black, pointing witch hat off her head before sitting upright and winking at her before putting it on.
Rafael watched the spectacle with awe but realized quickly that Alyssa didn't have enough room.
Rafael: (shouting) Get to the field! Head to the field!
Kaleb must've known what he was doing as he started to go the same, prompting everyone to head outside, opening the back doors. The crowd rushed out, parting ways as Alyssa flew between them and shot out into the night sky.
Alyssa looking down to see everyone pouring out to cheer her on, pulled out a vial from her dress pocket and threw it at the unlit bonfire, and yelled "Phasmotas Incendia!"
The bonfire exploded and sparks shoot out into the sky before becoming a busting display of fireworks!
Watching the fireworks light up and the almost euphoric joy in the atmosphere, Rafael didn't notice Harmony until she judged him in the side.
Harmony: (smiles) So...can you say you had a bad birthday?
Rafael: (showing his pearly whites in his smile) I can say that I never had a bad birthday EVER again! (Hugs her tightly)
Cue in the far out distance, Alyssa flying across the bright moon on her broomstick and cackling happily into the night.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN 👻 🎃 & HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RAFAEL WAITHE 🎉 🎂
Bonus:
Alaric wakes up the next day, completely hungover from the red punch (at least he hoped that it was punch) and opens his buzzing phone to see pictures of the party trending all over social media from Facebook to Twitter to Instagram and very unsettling pictures and articles of a witch flying all over Mystic Falls. Chucking his phone to the side, he buried his head undercover and went back to sleep before he could even begin starting his day doing damage control.

REBRANDING YOURSELF
COLLAB WITH THE HOTTIE????!!!!!!! @honeytonedhottie. LMAO NOT US PLANNING THIS IN LIKE DEC THEN RELEASING IN APRIL. I luv you so much ur my fav moot. moots who collab together, stay together. Check out her post on her page too, as usual, she makes the best points so y'all better listen.
Rebranding is a process in which you redefine who you are and how others perceive you. Each journey of rebranding yourself is personal and individual. When you rebrand yourself, you further align yourself with your higher you. This post is a guide to getting started on your journey!
UNDERSTAND YOUR CURRENT SELF.
So, take a step back and think about who you are as an individual right now. What are your values and beliefs? Does your external self reflect your inner self? Are you comfortable in your current environment?
These questions and more will help to see which aspects of your life you may need to redefine. See if there’s anything that doesn’t align with your higher self.
After that, pick those aspects that need to be redefined. Why do you want to change this? How has this been impacting you internally/externally? Does this aspect stem from your environment or yourself? See why this aspect needs to be improved.
DESIGNING YOUR BRAND
This is more of a fun step! So, using your aspects design how you want that specific thing to look and feel like. Avoid being vague or non-specific. Try to put in as much detail as you can for each aspect.
If you’d prefer, you don’t have to use ‘aspects’ and instead use your life generally. This is your redesign, so do whatever is more comfortable and achievable for you.
ASPECTS
Health
Social life
Career
Hobbies
Family
Finance
Spirituality
Personal development (mindset, goals, improvement)
Self care
Culture
Well-being
Things to include
Achievable goals
How your environment looks like
How your daily life like
How you see yourself
What do you feel after
Why this is alignment within yourself?
You can do this any way you want. The one I would recommend for redesigning your life would be a vision board, preferably a physical one. If you don’t want to do that, there are still a lot of options such as writing it down into a pretty poster, creating a playlist that will reflect your brand, creating a pretty list, or having sticky notes around your room as reminders.
Be creative and detailed with this. You should spend at least an hour if not more trying to redesign your life/aspects.
CREATING GOALS
Goals are so important, especially when we are moving in a different direction than we were before. As we’ve got the current status of who we are and what we want to be, creating goals should be easy.
Make your goals visible. Put a sticky note on your mirrors, put it as your laptop background, put a reminder on your phone, listen to a playlist that motivates you of your goals or anything else that will constantly remind you of your goals.
Other than that, remember that goals have to be achievable, mindful, and flexible.
ESTABLISHING HABITS
Habits are so important to rebrand yourself. Habits make up your identity. The way you act, speak, and do daily, can subconsciously influence you to be someone who isn’t in alignment with your higher self.
As much as it’s important to establish new habits that align with you, you have to root out the habits that are pushing you off track from achieving your goals.
The good thing is that you can do both at the same time. Replace those old habits, with brand new ones. For example, when you open your phone first thing in the morning instead of opening up TikTok, get YouTube opened and start a 5-minute meditation to start your day.
However, just because a habit is beneficial for you, it doesn’t mean it is in alignment for you. For many people, they prefer to read books as a productive alternative for leisure, however, you may not be able to read a book and focus. In that case, you may want to watch an educational video instead. You’re still getting the benefits, but just in a different way.
STEP FIVE: IMPLEMENTING YOUR BRAND DAILY
Think about all the little details of how this person would act, from morning until night. Embody their actions, words, aura, and vibes. This is when having a visual of your goals is good, so you can see what you need to do.
This includes no longer indulging in things your higher self wouldn’t do. Regardless of how much comfort, entertainment, or dopamine something gives you, you have to let it go if it is destroying your mind.
I way I recommend implementing your brand daily by creating a daily routine that focuses on a different goal each day of the week. E.g:
Monday - Practicing being mindful (meditation, journaling, connecting with your religion)
Tuesday - Fitness (pilates, weightlifting, hot girl walks)
Wednesday - Socialising (going out to meet new people/connecting with old friends)
Thursday - Productivity (Schoolwork, studying, business, workplace tasks)
Friday - Self-care (taking a slow day however you’d like)
ta-daa!! thanks 4 reading. now go follow @honeytonedhottie 💕😍

your first date + first interactions with your future spouse
Note: Please take it if it resonates, leave it if it doesn't. Meditate before making your decision. It's completely okay if you don't resonate with this reading. The collective is huge and I'm sure you'll receive the messages you need in due time.
pile 1
Cards: King of Wands, The Sun, Temperance, The Fool, Four of Wands
I literally giggled when the first card popped out! This is a very much a "When I see you, it's on sight" kinda situation.
I'm not saying you'll get hot and heavy on your first date (maybe), but I'm picking up that the attraction is very energetic and very, very strong. You feel like you met someone who matches your freak in every way.
I'm seeing a lot of smiling, giggling. They make you nervous, you'll probably not realise how much you're blushing until you decide to go to the restroom and see how absolutely down bad you look. You'll leave the date with your cheeks hurtin'!
I'm picking up a very chilled setting as a first date, the date itself is very low-key but damn, the vibes... The vibes are immaculate. Either you or your future spouse immediately know that you're it for each other. Maybe both of you realise it at the same time!
For some of you, you might be on a dating app or your friends put you on the dating up and you matched with your future spouse. The conversation was quite normal, no real fireworks and that's why your first date was at a very neutral place. But y'all, when you see each other and start talking and laughing, FIREWORKS!
For others, I see you apart of the same group of people. Like you might have mutual friends and see each other at parties and events or whatever. They always caught your eye and you always caught theirs but you never really spoke to each other. There's an image clearly in my mind for some of you, you're sitting on the couch with this person while a party is dying down (finally, sort of alone). There's sparks, connection, it's all so intimate.
I'm seeing New Year's might be significant for this pile. There's a lot of physical and spiritual attraction here. It's also very giddy. It's that feeling you get when you just can't stop laughing, an overwhelming joy.
pile 2
Cards: Two of Swords, Judgement, Five of Swords, Wheel of Fortune, Six of Cups, Three of Wands
Your future spouse plans your first date. They really wine and dine you actually. They're more of a romantic than you are. When you meet your future spouse, one of you is looking to settle down and be in an exclusive, proper relationship and one of you is on the fence.
My dear reader, I feel like you'll be the one on the fence.
For some of you, there's a person in your past you felt like should've been your end game but it seemed like there was something always missing. You might be in a state of right person, wrong time and it's left you feeling hopeless. You're sorting of still waiting on them...
When you meet your future spouse, it's like you're going on a series of dates to get this past lover out of your mind. Your future spouses energy is very gentle and understanding, but you're not really paying attention in the beginning. They are willing to wait for you.
This isn't an immediate knowing. You don't know this person is your future spouse when you meet them, you might be seeing a few people while seeing them. I'm not seeing cheating but I am seeing is that you two don't get exclusive immediately.
You're feeling out your options. Deep down you're afraid of making the wrong one and a part of you is like, is there even a wrong one? Do I believe in stuff like The One? Your past lover did a number on you, I can see.
I do see that everything eventually comes to a head and you need to make a decision, I see you making the right one for yourself in that space and time. Don't worry, your future spouse does stick around and I see you two smoothing all the rough patches.
pile 3
Cards: Strength, The Chariot, The Moon, Page of Pentacles, Two of Cups Rx, Ace of Swords Rx
Interactions with your future spouse leave you feeling like you're in a game of cat and mouse. Oh my goodness, they make you flustered! Oh, but you keep telling yourself they're not your type and you will not date someone like them.
You guys know of each other for a while. Maybe you went to the same schools or you even met them at uni and they just always left a sour taste in your mouth.
Hectic, I'm picking up strongly that you're turned off by them because they always have their foot in their mouth and they say dumb shit to you. That's hilarious! Be a little patient with them, you make them nervous.
Goodness, I see them treating you like royalty and they just want to be your loyal subject. Oooh, they literally just want to please you. If you ever do give them a chance just know that you're getting SPOILED.
They're going above and beyond for your first date and even though you have the impression of them that they're a bumbling oaf, you're surprised by how much attention to detail they put into everything. For some of you there's three parts to your first date, it'll last for hours actually and in that time, pile 3, they ended up cracking you open like a walnut!
You have to let your heart guide you in matters of the heart. Your mind will not be able to understand what your heart is telling you. This is especially the case as your future spouse challenges your idea of who you envisioned your future spouse to be. Good luck, babe!

composite/synastry chart obs
⋆ ˚。 ୨୧
☆ I've noticed how having a partners mercury in the 12th house synastry can cause many struggles with communication... there are many things that are being hidden and it might come up in arguments which can lead to miscommunications
★ having a libra ascendant in a composite chart makes the two people very visually pleasing together- like people will go "oh that's such a pretty couple" for example, you match each others visuals very well
☆ moon in partners 6th house synastry literally SCREAMSSSS acts of service as love language, also the moon person just feels alot more balanced when they are in the presence of the house person, the house person can calm the moon person down just by being there
↳ ^^this also applies to having a virgo moon in the composite chart btw!!
★ when the moon or venus is in the first house in a composite, the two people are literally so affectionate in public- not necessarily pda but like also just being with each other alot, people can definitely tell you two are friends or lovers just by seeing the two of you together
☆ I've noticed that if your sun squares your friends sun, you two might have hated each others guts at first but now you cannot live without each other 😭 i've seen this happen so many times it even happened to me waaaaay too many times
★ I think it only makes sense that couples who have a second house stellium in composite are financially very stable- they're a rich couple or they look like a rich couple
☆ having chiron in partners 12th house in synastry is also something i'd like to talk about. the house person can help the chiron person grow, not only emotionally but also spiritually, the house person is a great source of healing energy for the chiron person. it's a very karmic connection between the two people, but mostly in a positive sense
★ a composite chart with a libra stellium indicates balance, in other words, harmony is very crucial ib this relationship. it might be something that both partners strongly desire
☆ when venus conjuncts moon in the composite chart, the couple will have lots of adoration towards each other. The (emotional) wellbeing of the partner is taken very much into consideration, and one partner will try to make the other partner feel better by giving them alot of love and vice versa 🤍
★ a first house stellium in the composite chart can indicate being the "it-couple", this couple attracts lots and lots of attention
☆ it is very important to watch out with 8th house overlays in synastry charts. if your partners planets (especially moon!!!!) are in your 8th house, you will have to be careful with obsession. being too obsessed with your partner can cause some problems
★ y'all 11th house overlays in synastry or an 11th house stellium in composite is such a slowburn indicatorrr 😭 i don't know why but i've seen this pattern soooo oftennnn
☆ mercury trine venus in synastry couples have such smooth conversations, they're very vocal and open about their wants and needs in a relationship. moon trine mercury is also very vocal about their emotions with each other. there's lots of empathy
★ also second house overlay couples can show lots of PDA for some reason... especially by kissing each other 😨
↳ a/n : I'M BACKKKK!!!!! <3 ngl life has been pretty wild recently 😅 thank you all for always being so patient with me ♡ I hope you guys enjoyed this post, I wrote down so much when I was travelling!!! synastry chart or composite chart observations are pretty difficult for me because it takes more time to find a couple and then analyse their charts (because I don't fw many couples </3) so this has taken some time and effort, so I thank you for being so patient 🫂 𖹭

Of course I'm upset. I'm sick to death of Christians trying to take our shit and make it theirs, while giving us shit for not abandoning our shit for yours.
It's a Jewish movie, based on a Jewish story. Judaism exists just fine without Christianity, while Christianity can't exist without Judaism.
If you find meaning and fulfillment in a Jewish story it because Judaism preludes your Christianity: good for you. But stop trying to take our shit and make it yours.
Get your own shit.
Need this site to understand that "The Prince of Egypt" is BOTH a Jewish and Christian movie. Let no one rob it from the Jews, but us christians literally owe our faith to the same God who saw to and led the Exodus. The Ten Commandments are still in effect, Jesus did not abolish the law but fulfilled it, and to get to Jesus we needed Moses.
#cultural appreciation#chrisitan appropriation of judaism#jesus fulfilled ZERO jewish prophecies of the messiah anyway#and in the long run he and his followers fucked us over worse than king herod ever did#he was just one of many messianic claimants who didn't live up to the hype#and you and your lot fell for it#and moved the goalposts to say 'it still applies to him' even though it doesn't apply to him in any way#according to you--he ALREADY came back to life once and STILL didn't do any of the things the jewish messiah is supposed to do#“Oh Jesus is God and God is Perfect” except it takes Jesus three attempts to do something the Jewish messiah could do right the first time#Even by New Testament standards jesus didn't fit any of the criteria YOU SET for his messianic claim#“oh he was a direct descendant of king david”#a) you literally can't prove that since there are no geneological records and it was 2 thousand years ago#b) it was HIS STEPDAD Joseph who was supposedly the direct descendant of david--not Mary herself#Christian dogma makes very clear “Jesus was the son of God NOT JOSEPH” so jesus isn't even a direct descendant of king david#The New Testament also starts with the prophecy “your son will become king of the jews” -- except he NEVER BECAME King of the Jews!!#NOT in a legal sense--and not even in a spiritual sense since he failed to win over all of judea during his life and even after death#He was a literal cult leader whose followers grossed out other jews cuz they didn't believe in washing their hands before they ate#he didn't unite all the peoples of the world into one nation#he didn't bring a thousand years of peace following his death#he didn't drive out the romans and restore judea for the jews#Hell--jesus lived 40 years before jews were even driven into diaspora by the romans to begin with#So he didn't even fulfill the most BASIC Jewish messianic function of “restoring jews to the land of israel”#That thing that ancient jews created the 'messiah' concept for to honor the persian emperor cyrus the great#who restored ancient jews to their homeland after we were conquered and exiled by ancient babylonians#cyrus the great showed up#conquered the babylonians#and said to the jews “sure you can go home and worship your own god and run your own shit--just pay your taxes”#literally cyrus the great of ancient persia was more of a messiah to the jews than jesus ever was#y'all just moved the goalposts and changed the criteria of what a messiah is to make it apply to jesus after the fact#because history revisionism and wilful cherry-picking is what christians do best

a/n: y'all not a word. just literal ghost!simon for those who like this trope <3 tags: cunnilingus, ghost sex, ghost simon. yeah he's a literal ghost and eats you out.
ghost!simon riley. ghost that died, and is now a ghost. you were his wife-- so he haunts your new home. ghost!simon that scares away the men you try to hook up with after he dies. breaking things near them, flickering the lights whenever they're alone. you're his, not theirs. in life and in death, his. of course he's going to make them piss their pants before you can fuck them. he doesn't blame you, though. he blames them.
ghost!simon who can pass through walls and objects at will and touch them, too. so, when he finds out he can touch you? best bet he does.
ghost!simon whose main hobby in the afterlife is watching you. other ghosts may cause trouble... but he's not that type. he wants to watch his gorgeous wife, all the time, no matter what she's doing. ghost!simon who's a little too eager to watch you possibly touch yourself when you get horny. it's been years at this point, and he knows you- your tells. the way your thighs started to rub together as you laid in bed, tossing and turning.
ghost!simon who gets the idea to try and let you know he's there... watching. "bird," he mumbles. he knows you can't hear him, but he'll talk to you anyway. "so pretty." he brings a hand to your leg, dragging it upward gently-- testingly. he's surprised that he can touch you at all, so he continues. ghost!simon who leans down to kiss your arm. ghost!simon who recognizes the way your body freezes at the contact. who snickers when you curse about it. you know it's him... you know you're haunted by him in the back of your mind, even if you're in denial. --- "simon?" you whisper, sitting up. you know in your logical brain that this isn't happening-- you're just imagining it. but when the bedlight lamp flickers twice, your heart sinks and your stomach flutters. "...s'that you?" you ask, and the lights flicker twice once more. you feel more fleeting touches along the outer sides of your legs, and suddenly the bed dips at your feet. you feel something nudging your legs apart, and you curse yourself at how easily you follow suit and spread your legs. you're not the spiritual type... this can't be happening. maybe you're dreaming? maybe you're already asleep?
--- ghost!simon who moves between your legs and leans down, kissing your leg just above the knee. his hands move up to the waistband of your pants, and he tugs lazily. sure, he's been a ghost for a while-- but it takes ghost energy to move things! you should do it for him. and he hums when you do, watching the way your hips shift as you pull them down, panties following. you know it's him, and that makes him smug. even after all this time you haven't forgotten his touch. his love. he moves and lays down, and the bed dips further beneath him. his weight, still tangible somehow even in the ghost plane, or whatever the fuck it's called. ---
you're questioning if you've gone crazy. you feel hands move up your legs yet again, stopping at your hips as you feel a few kisses at your hip bone. your head falls back and your chest swells. you shut your eyes and try to ignore the fact that simon always kissed you there before he went down on you. more proof that this was him. ---
he can't taste you. all of his senses are gone now, but at least he can feel you and at least you know it's him. his tongue darts out, leaving over the flesh at your hip before he nibbles there. he can use most functions of his body, some at will, others are just defunct. saliva is one that he still has. why? he has no idea. it's not like he can eat in the afterlife.
...well, not actual food, at least. ---
your eyes flutter. it's an odd sensation. you feel him kiss closer to your cunt, and you've fully succumbed to the feeling. your chest swells more and you feel countless emotions-- you knew he was with you, in one way or another. feeling his touch, his kisses. it almost makes you cry. you suck in a breath and lift your hips, and you feel vibration against your flesh, as if he laughed at you. you just wish you could hear it... see his face between your legs... the feeling is enough.
---
his tongue dips out again, moving between your folds, flattening against your clit. his hands find the bottom of your thighs, gently hoisting them up to give him better access as he tilts his head, swirling his tongue in slow circles like he always did. two slow swirls, four quick flicks. he knew how quickly it got you to cum when he was alive. he hopes it's still the same.
---
your hips twitch, and your back arches, soft sweet moans falling from your lips. the friction is odd, but lord if it isn't intense, your pent up body relishing the feeling of whatever the fuck this is. if you were doubting that it was simon before, you fucking knew it was now. you whimper and your hips buck, a heat swirling in your lower stomach. you feel another vibration against you and your clit twitches, another whine leaving your throat.
---
he's never forgotten you or your body. he's never forgotten the memories he had when he was alive, and even though he can't taste you now he remembers it. sickeningly sweet, he remembers. like honey. "pretty pussy," he grumbles, more to himself since he knows you can't hear it. his tongue flicks against your clit again, relishing in the way it makes your back arch and your hole clench. neglected. he knows you haven't had any since he died. dammit he's made SURE you haven't. of course he can only control things within the bounds of this home, but he knows you prefer having sex in your home-- where you can control things. the setting, the ambiance. one thing he loved. you always controlled all of that, and all he had to do was love you. and if he knew anything, it was how to love you. he decides now to just use his tongue. he didn't want to overwhelm you.
---
you were already overwhelmed. your clit twitched again with each flick, your back arching further and your legs twitching as you got closer to your orgasm. you know, you never thought it was possible to get eaten out by a ghost, but here you were.
---
you mumble his name, and he's done for. his pace increases suddenly, and he grunts to himself at the way your body writhes beneath him. his grip on your thighs tightens, and he pins them down to keep you in place, opting to flick his tongue against your clit to just get you to the edge. when you start whimpering and wailing, he slows down-- smirking when you whimper at the loss. he keeps doing that for a few moments before speeding up again, flicking his tongue against your clit and swirling it at the same time, squeezing your thighs once or twice. ---
you fold your hand over your mouth, head falling back against the pillow beneath your head. you cum seconds after he speeds up again, gasping and writhing still. it comes over you in waves, vision dotted and mind hazy with pleasure. your orgasm ebbs, and his movements slow until you're panting. you barely notice when he detaches himself from you, the bed dipping a bit more as he leans over you and kisses your head. "still as pretty as ever. haven't changed a bit, my wife." --- ghost!simon who breaks all rules of the afterlife to get between his pretty wife's legs again.
