I was looking at a website selling stationery and sealing wax because I like to torment myself with things I could be buying, and I realized eventually that when they say "wicked" they mean "wax with a wick", not "wax which is somehow evil". But it did take a while.

Wicked Wax would be a great name for a goth band, a scented candle store, a beauty salon, or a car detailer, and I'm sad that the Wicked Wax on the website wasn't even like of the "looks black but melts red" variety.

[ID: A screencap of a banner from a stationery store; it shows wax in long lozenges, labeled "wicked wax", and wax in small beads, labeled "bead wax". I do not need this hobby and yet I desire it.]

Have you played WICKEDNESS ?

By M Veselak

A coven of three witches navigates their fantastical world and its troubles as well as their own interpersonal dramas, uncovering challenges using a prompt-based tarot system and working to solve them together with wisdom or magic.

Wickedness is a peculiar tabletop game written for exactly three players and one tarot deck, with no dice and no GM. Together, you'll form a coven between three mystical archetypes (the innocent and gentle Pure Heart, the volatile, revelrous Wild Spirit, and the uptight, scholarly Old Soul) and try to keep your world of magic and mystery in balance with the mundane world, in spite of its ignorance, poverty and violence.

Ephesians 5:10-11 NLT 10 Carefully determine what pleases the Lord. 11 Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, expose them.

1 Corinthians 10:21 NLT 21 You cannot drink from the cup of the Lord and from the cup of demons, too. You cannot eat at the Lord’s Table and at the table of demons, too.

This is the one pin I will never put up. It is unnatural. It is foul. It is so simple but it goes against everything that is in Boueibu that it warps and twists my soul into a wicked spiral. Why must you do this to him? Sir, this is Cute High Earth Defense Club Love not Yarichin Bitch Club

"If I was a real motherfucker I would say it's Jax"

"I think Jax's sentimentality is going to have him help me, but instead he stays loyal to the state"

"Does Jax lay hands on you when he captures you?"

"I think so"

"The town around this Sanctuary...the Shopfront was shuttered ages ago— people in this town knew it was not safe to live here anymore. The last people left a long time ago. There's just a withered old ghost town here where the Observatory Tower, with eagles perched all over it- I haven't cooped the eagles in forever, they're half feral at this point. Sepal comes by, Dock is our friend but she's in the Underworld now. It's just been me and Charlotte and these birds for a long long time. There are no living spaces in the tower; it has been years since we've had shelter for the lost.

There is nothing here.

So the tramp of boots I can hear from the moment they leave their ships- there are no souls left in this town.

And when Jax and his sailors put their hands on Tamsin...there is nothing subtle about what happens next. Sailors are flung through the town by wind, their limbs are torn apart, blood spills in the street, they are flung aside like dolls, and those who get away and get to shelter where the wind can't reach them find the force of gravity reversed and those homes flung into sky, as if by the hands of angry gods.

Jax is left alive.

So I that I can tell him to his face that he will never find safe harbour and if he ever falls alseep in the same place twice he will not wake when the sun arises, and banish him from this place."

When this happened in the Wickedness actual play for the game's kickstarter (feat. Jay Dragon, Jeeyon Shim, and Brennan Lee Mulligan + available on the Monster Darling's youtube channel) I always imagined a grown up Jax wandering the Haeth and never able to sleep in the same place twice.

Esther put all of her tins and bottles back in the proper places in her case. She stared at Augusta for a good long while. "Words can do ANYTHING," she said. "A kind word can fix a person's spirit. A cruel one can break a person's heart. Wicked words have caused wars, and honest words have made peace. Why wouldn't they be able to heal?"

The punch in the gut for me is knowing that Hinchcliffe is so popular with young people I work with.
