I have a two names, one in english and one in chinese. I’m mixed so my names are combinations of names from different languages too. I’m sure no one else in the world has the exact combination of both. I mean how many people have a mix of chinese and Indonesian?
I’m curious.
My name is unique. I can confidently say that not only am I pretty sure there is no one else with my given name/family name combo on the planet, I’m pretty sure there never has been. I am the only [name] that has ever lived.
So tell me in the tags please, how common your full name is, whether you’ve ever encountered someone with the same name, and (if applicable) what it’s like seeing celebrities or people in the news or whatever who have your name.
“Touch grass” they said. “It’d be good for you” they said.
Sing this in the “all around me are familiar faces” song’s tune. I don’t remember what it’s called. All around me are fucking bigots. Racist bigots, ableist bigots, queerphobic bigots.
I get that they’re jokingly walking up to me, an Asian, and saying “asian people have weird eyes” then proceeding to pull the side of your eyes to to make it longer is just rude.
Holocaust jokes made infront of jews, queerphobic jokes infront of queers, ableist jokes infront of disabled folk. They’re not ok.
They’re not even one of the people they’re making jokes about, so they’re just making fun of communities that already deal with enough shit. They shouldn’t be allowed to get away with that.
Also, saying that you’ll “catch autism” from autistic people isn’t funny
I feel like I’m a bit fucked in the head sometimes, but then again, I’m sure most people do. I love how I can read about a really gory crime scene and just be like “huh, ok.” But I’m afraid of touching content where people have to actually process their emotions and deal with consequences. I fear it while also hate when people in fiction don’t get affected after watching their families die.
Then there’s a piece of fanfiction that’s like, “this guy got skinned and had his organs removed while he was alive! The killer made his skin look like wings! The killer is also a religious cannibal with more than 26 murders in 6 months! His eldest son is a killer and cannibal that likes to decapitate his victims, who believes that bloodshed is honour. He’s also the protagonist’s coworker, they work for the FBI. The youngest son killed and ate his best friend’s stomach, because he believed the world wasn’t worthy of said best friends. He also force fed the protagonist his best friend’s lungs.” And I’m just like “oh lol ok”
Or sometimes when a I read gross out horror like body horror, I end up just appreciating it like an art piece in an art gallery. Which makes sense cuz I do enjoy body horror sculptures that could be found in art museums or smt. Like the one grease manga comic, the one where a family of people are obsessed with grease or whatever? I’m not sure if it’s the dialogue that’s scary because I read a version in a foreign language. But like, the images aren’t really bad, kinda just the type of stuff that makes you wanna go “ok, that’s was something. Anyways-“
It’s only ever like this when it’s gore in a podcast, book/articles/written work, or just things that don’t force you to look at the real thing or an attempt at making it look real. Or gross out in comic, manga, art work, written work, sculpture and, actually most gross out stuff is fine as long as it’s not the actual thing in front if me, (like if it’s body horror then I get grossed out when someone actually starts growing wings and antlers)
But the second a character feels guilty for killing their friend while either dissociating or sleep walking, I become too uncomfortable to keep reading it. People feel emotions, I feel emotions, I shouldn’t have such a problem with people feel negative emotions. Why do I feel like this?
well, do i have the opportunity for you! i'm trying to get more responses for this survey i made for my marketing class so i have a sample size that's actually, you know, useful. if you have a spare minute, i'd love if you could fill it out!
Im sorry 😭 I knew a character’s name started with A and their last name was Crowley and I just assumed it was him
I now know that his last name was a reference to aleister crowley
It's 2023, Google is free, and there are people who think I'm referring to a character from a TV series when I mention Aleister Crowley.
A very famous moth, the African death's head hawkmoth :) Named after the skull shape on their back, though honestly i dont care about the skull, i care about the fact that they can SQUEEK!!!
I LOVE THEM SO MUCH
In my experience, nothing feels quite as good as testing your control over your craft quite like a wind spell. The following is my favorite incantation to use.
Wind spell
Move your hand in a circle, palm downward.
Chant: “Wind, Wind, hear my plea,
Dance across the land and sea.”
Within witchcraft, protection is essential in spells. From protecting you from negative entities to protecting you from hexes, curses and jinxes, protection is a great way to keep you safe in your craft!
There are multiple types of protection here which are gonna be covered each and these are as follows; jars, warding, crystals, colours, plants, amulets, talismans, witches ladders, herbs etc.
Jars: Spell jars are a simple and quick way to get a spell done. They require a jar, herbs, a petition paper, and some way to seal the jar (usually candlewax). Heres a recipe for a jar!
Herbs: Rosemary, Sage, Lavender, Salt or black salt, thyme, apple plus a petition paper for stating the intention of protection. Place these into the jar and seal with black candle wax or with any preferred way of sealing.
Warding: Warding probably deserves it's own post but I'll add a few ways to ward and go into more detail in a separate post. Warding is a form of defensive magick which keeps any form negative energy out unless they break. Here are some ways to ward!
Crystals: place crystals above your entry ways and windows to keep negative energy out. Crystal's can also be worn as jewellery or kept upon your person as a personal ward. Scroll down for some examples.
Talismans: Talismans such as the Nazar can be added to your home to ward off the "evil eye". You can also create your own talismans to place around your home.
Salt: Salt can be placed above entry ways and windows in a similar way to crystals to keep the negativity out. Salt can also be used for banishing and cleansing.
Crystals for protection: clear quartz, obsidian, smokey quartz, black tourmaline, amethyst, labradorite, phrenite, onyx, hematite, tigers eye. (This isnt an exhaustive list, theres plenty of protection crystals out there that arent on this little list).
Protective herbs: garden sage, lavender, lemon balm, rosemary, black pepper, mugwort, belladonna, lemon, parsley, thyme, mistletoe, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice. (Again, not an exhaustive list, theres thousands of protective herbs and plants out there).
Protection is an important part of any witches practice. It keeps you safe from negative attachments, baneful magick, psychic or spiritual attack etc. Not all witches will use the same methods of protection as it differs from practice to practice. But this is just a little thing to get you started on your research into protection.
it’d be so cool to just… make it rain… for dramatic effect. So now I’m gonna learn weather magick and make some kind of spell that requires only words, and I’m gonna whisper it before falling to my knees and sobbing loudly
