Colour magick
Color magick is a form of magic that utilizes the energetic properties associated with different colors. Each color is believed to have its own unique vibrations and correspondences, which can be harnessed for various intentions or spells.
It's a fascinating aspect of occult practice for those interested in harnessing symbolism and energy in their magical workings.
Here are some common associations for different colors:
1. Red: Often associated with passion, love, strength, and vitality. It can be used for matters of the heart, courage, and energy.
2. Orange: Represents creativity, enthusiasm, and success. It's used for motivation, self-expression, and attracting opportunities.
3. Yellow: Linked to intellect, communication, and clarity. Yellow can be used for mental clarity, confidence, and boosting intellectual pursuits.
4. Green: Represents growth, abundance, and healing. It's associated with matters of prosperity, fertility, and overall well-being.
5. Blue: Associated with peace, calmness, Certainly! Color magick is based on the idea that colors have distinct energetic vibrations and correspondences that can influence our thoughts, emotions, and experiences.
6. Purple: Symbolizes spirituality, wisdom, and transformation. It can be used for spiritual growth, psychic abilities, and seeking higher knowledge.
7. Pink: Often used for matters of love, compassion, and harmony. Pink can be employed for romantic love, self-love, and healing emotional wounds.
8. Black: Symbolizes protection, banishing, and mystery. It's used for absorbing negativity, protection, and working with the shadow self.
9. White: Represents purity, clarity, and spiritual enlightenment. It's often used for purification, meditation, and connecting with higher realms.
10. Brown: Associated with stability, grounding, and nurturing. It's used for matters of stability, home, and connecting with nature.
Remember, these associations can vary depending on individual beliefs, cultural traditions, and personal experiences.
When using color magick, it's important to trust your intuition and select colors that resonate with you and your specific intentions. Additionally, combining colors in spells and rituals can amplify their effects.

Six(ish) Sentence Sunday
Tumblr media
Damn, y'all started early today: thanks @getmehighonmagic @hgejfmw-hgejhsf @onthewaytosomewhere @magicandarchery for the tags!
First of all, thank you so much for all the wonderful birthday wishes/treats/etc—y'all are fucking wonderful and I treasure you ❤️
Here's a little snippet from the prologue of one of my Fandom Trumps Hate offerings, which I am VERY excited about. (I'm excited about all of them honestly; there are no duds in that list of prompts. But this one's... particularly personal, haha.) All it has right now is a prologue in past tense (challenge!) and in Ellen's POV (massive challenge!) before we smash cut to Alex's POV in the canon-adjacent timeline, not because it was a requirement of the fic/prompt or anything but because that's where the ✨ vision ✨ took me 🤣 It also has a tentative title, though that's subject to change... we'll see.
Ellen listened when the long, heavy tresses—the dark colour all Diaz, the weight and texture entirely Claremont—were eschewed in favour of a wild, cropped head of curls. She bought shorts and overalls when CJ’s hand-me-down skirts and dresses were met with a frown and a fierce shake of the head. And when her confident, fiercely intelligent, beautiful youngest child crawled into her lap at five years old, wrapped surprisingly strong arms around her neck, and asked quietly if she thought it was possible that God sometimes made mistakes and gave kids the wrong parts, Ellen swallowed back the lump in her throat and marvelled at the depths of bravery she knew it must have taken to ask the question. She made it through the usual bedtime routine by sheer force of will—a yes, sugar, sometimes that happens, and it’s okay if you think it happened to you and a kiss to the forehead apparently enough in that moment—only breaking down in Oscar’s arms long after both kids were asleep. It wasn’t grief or confusion that had her sobbing; she’d move mountains to make her children happy, whoever they were, whatever they needed. It was sheer frustration, seeing so many potential sources of harm and heartbreak laid out on the path ahead, traps waiting to spring, and knowing she would be unable to clear many of them out of the way.

WIP Wednesday
Super early for my training course, no one else here to talk to. What shall I do? Shall I write porn? Why yes I think I shall!
It’s so fucking sexy, seeing Henry like this, all kinds of different colours blooming on his pale skin like roses. Maybe tomorrow Alex will plant a whole flowerbed, a riot of colour growing only for him. “Alex, love, please, I- Please just-” “You wanna come, sweetheart?” “Just touch me, please, please.” Alex presses his fingertips against the hickey on Henry's collarbone, shudders at the moan it draws out of his boyfriend. “Still green?” “Emerald. Lime. Verdurous.” Alex feels another little piece of his heart flutter out from his ribs to nestle in between Henry’s. “Oh, His Royal Fucking Highness has jokes now, huh?” There’s a kind of heated mischief in Henry’s eyes. God, he’s beautiful. “Well …” Alex moves down, putting his shoulders under Henry’s thighs. “Well?” he asks, running the tip of his nose along the length of Henry’s cock. “You’re being an arsehole.” “No, baby,” Alex says, before lifting Henry’s heavy balls with one hand and smartly licking a stripe over the wrinkled, silken pink. “That’s an asshole.” Henry arches his back, the noise that escapes him reedy and high. It’s followed by another one, that might be the word Christ. The next one might be please. After Henry’s sucked in a few actual breaths, he manages, “Stop fucking teasing, I swear to-” “You really want me to? Colour?” “Green,” Henry grits out. “Attaboy,” Alex breathes against Henry’s inner thigh. “Just a little more? You look so pretty when you beg me.”
Tagging ... @kiwiana-writes @myheartalivewrites @rmd-writes @dumbpeachjuice @orchidscript @clottedcreamfudge @xthelastknownsurvivorx @inexplicablymine @everwitch-magiks and anyone else who wants to!

WIP almost Wednesday
Since I’m posting a new chapter tomorrow, I mean. (Three chapters left to write!)
Alex annoys the shit out of Nora when they meet up at hers for a post-England debrief. He’s walking on air, almost whistling with happiness, and Nora slams a coffee down in front of him.
“I understand you got some, but apparently while I was away my neighbour started to learn violin.” she hisses. “I’m on like negative 3 hours sleep.”
Not that she’s not been busy, though: she’s turned her living room wall into one of those massive mind maps you see on TV, with strings of different colours running between pictures of the royal family, Shaan and Pez, and things like POSSIBLE ROUTE and FAKE PAPERS? written on notecards in Sharpie. It looks impressively unhinged, and as Alex surveys it he has a feeling the podcast ending is before them. That the collage of pictures of Henry from ages 11-17 above the TV are going to whisper the answers to them. Alex spots her phone buzz with a text from Pez, too. Interesting. Once all that has run its course he’ll want to know the details.
Tagging, in no particular order, @clottedcreamfudge @rmd-writes @everwitch-magiks @dumbpeachjuice @celeritas2997 @cha-melodius @kiwiana-writes @nixieteeth and @gloriousclio!

WIP Wednesday
Tagged by the ever lovely and amazing @sherryvalli this Wednesday and this post serves as public call out to finish your Notting Hill AU because we all deserve it ;)))) and as a preview for this Friday’s chapter!
Mr. BodyPillow snippet No. 4 Op. 2 Electric Boogaloo
"What on earth is that?" Alex asked, wide eyed at the array of contraptions now set on the counter. “Well, simply making coffee the old fashioned way wouldn’t possibly be enough to impress you, given how you reacted to my beans.”  Alex scoffs and gestures at the beans, which do look a little worse for wear. Henry just hums in response to the indignation and starts methodically working through the process of boiling water in his tea kettle. Alex just stares on. He opens his mouth a few times as if to say something before closing it again. He makes for quite the attractive fish.  “Alex, do you have something you wish to share?” Henry asks  as he measures out his loose leaf tea. Of all things, Alex looks nervous, and he twists his hands around themselves before blurting out, “Just don’t blame me okay?” “Blame you?” Henry laughs incredulously at the idea of blaming anything on Alex except his peace of mind that has already come with only a few hours in his presence.  Alex waves his hand at all of the coffee making tools with a stutter, “I have no idea what to do with any of this and I don’t want to mess up your chemistry set trying to make my coffee.”  Henry can feel his stomach flip over at how cute Alex is when he is nervous, the way he gnaws at his bottom lip, hands wringing themselves out between rapid taps on his own legs.  “Oh darling, I just want you to sit on the bar stool and look pretty,” Henry smiles at the flush of colour that erupts high on Alex’s cheek bones and the way his smile emerges from beneath his lips.
You can read Ch 1 Here.

seven sentence sunday
[insert usual caveat re it being monday here] thank you for the tags @heartstringsduet @carlos-in-glasses @reyesstrand @welcometololaland @alrightbuckaroo @three-drink-amy @strandnreyes @morganaspendragonss @fortunatelydecaffeinateddinosaur @liminalmemories21 @cold-blooded-jelly-doughnut @irispurpurea @cha-melodius so many delicious snippets to start my day with! 💖
the snippet I have to share isn’t from a fandom that any of you are in, sorry! But it’s what I’m working on atm
David is close enough to Patrick that he can see just how long Patrick’s eyelashes are, framing his gorgeous whiskey coloured eyes. Above them, that one curl that’s been driving David mad because it always hangs over his forehead sits, begging to be brushed off his face. 
He gives into temptation and reaches out, pushing the curl back with two fingers only for it to bounce back down. Patrick flashes that curious upside down smile. “There’s no hope, it won’t stay.”
Bringing his hand down, David cups Patrick’s cheek gently, angling his face up. “Patrick,” he whispers. 
So many people have been tagged already but let’s try (sorry if you’ve already been tagged or I haven’t seen your snippet yet!) @basilsunrise @never-blooms @sunshinestrand @reyescarlos @hippolotamus @rosedavid @apothecarose @mostlyinthemorning @stereopticons @chelle-68 @ramonaflow @cheesecurdsgravyandfries @everwitch-magiks @clottedcreamfudge and an open tag if anyone wants to share!

The recent reform of O’khasis (this is a VERY long post, please ignore any grammar mistakes, I apologise in advance
)
For years O’khasis had been a peaceful city state. While possessing an abundance of military power and resources O’khasis was mostly passive. Many admired the city for it’s rich history, huge library and fascinating architecture. It was common for lords to travel there to discuss business or for a yearly mass pilgrimage of Irene worshippers to gather in many of the churches located inside city walls.
O’khasis was ruled by Lord Garte and a huge council (which had been in operation for decades). Garte had a wife, Zianna, who was also his social inferior but was praised by the people because of her traditional fashion yet upbeat personality. Garte also had two children- Garroth and Zane (with a year between them), 3 years later a 3rd was born named Vylad. To many inside the palace it was common knowledge that Vylad wasn’t Garte’s biological son but Garte adopted the boy as his own. O’khasis had been ruled by a monarchy since time begin, each generation highly valued by the public and this generation wasn’t any different. Garte and his family were just another family held on a pedestal, another monarch who’s stories of prosperity would be written by scholars in yet another book to be lost in O’khasis’ vast library. However, as the eldest son was approaching his 9th birthday O’khasis would enter an era of darkness.
Sickness wasn’t uncommon in Ru’ran. Flu, plagues, hysteria. All are very easy to contract. That being said, in densely populated areas such as O’khasis sickness spreads fast and diseases mutate even faster. Garte was one of many O’khasis residents to catch a deadly illness. Although he survived, recovery took months- many of these months were filled with psychotic episodes and frenzied “study” sessions. Like many who undergo near death experiences Garte had started to reflect on his life and the history of his lineage . He was unsatisfied, unsatisfied with the progress O’khasis had made on an economic and social scale, unsatisfied with the lack of “backbone” his sons possessed and unsatisfied with the unaltered future O’khasis was heading to. Garte wanted changed, a change for both O’khasis and the region. Garte grew cruel, almost militant rather than a loving father. While Vylad and Garroth seeked refuge in their mother, Zane continued to hold his father to high regards- soon brainwashed by the man’s tyrannical ideologies the father-son duo become an inseparable pair.
Despite this blossoming bond, Garte favoured Garroth and wasn’t one to hide it, his first born son, his legacy, his identical twin in appearance. Garte had big plans for Garroth, marriage proposals, family heirlooms, land, riches, power. All things the younger son craved. While Garte started a reform behind palace walls, dismantling the council to secure himself sole political power, Zane grew desperate to please his father and prove himself useful.
Zane was meek, small, pale and prone to illness. He may of been the middle child but it was as if he was destined to be the runt of the litter. Zane knew he was weak, he knew he’d never live up to his older brother but that didn’t mean he wouldn’t try to create his own status. Zane threw himself into his studies, reading the many tales of Lady Irene and the other Divine Warriors. Zane always thought of Irene as a fraud, a glorified false prophet but that didn’t mean he couldn’t learn from her. Tales of realm hopping, magiks, conquests, the books written on that woman were full of them. Zane knew how even hundreds of years later people devoted themselves to her, taking every scripture as faithful retellings of history and Zane knew this mindless loyalty could be exploited. He learnt the verses off by heart, he completely changed his colourful aesthetic to a darker, gothic style and he even started messing with witchcraft- learning spells he knew the witches guild would never approve of, maybe even execute him for performing, but when you have the power of a Ro’meave you become untouchable.
The world was changing, with Garte now having full power over the city he looked to expand outwards and gain control over the many villages and small settlements that dotted the region. Zane however dreamed bigger, the tales of Lady Irene were definitely fiction but there was one thing Zane knew to be true: the power of relics. Zane knew they existed! He thought back to his childhood, back when he and Vylad were brothers and not strangers, the boys would play together in the tunnels that lay underground. One day they came across a jewel, a weird jewel, it was blue and glowed despite there being no light in the tomb. Vylad remarked that it was pulsing with some sort of energy and Zane could definitely feel it too, in fact Zane could hear it call to him. Begging to be touched, begging to be ‘of use’ to him. Before the boys could observe it properly they were scolded by a guard for snooping around and rushed back upstairs. They asked questions of course, curious to know what the oddly cut gem was but the guard just scoffed and claimed it was a sapphire that had been mined from the ground where the Chapel of Mistress Irena now stands. It wasn’t until years later that Zane saw jewel again, it was sketched in an archive detailing the Divine Warrior’s rise to power, then in another archive and another. It was one of a set, Zane was unsure of what these stones did exactly but he knew they were important and more powerful together.
Zane brought this up to his father, the relics and his want to expand territories further than palace walls, further than the other regions, to expand all the way to realms no one had set foot on in centuries. However, the boy’s father just laughed. He mocked his son, claiming that although he may be a teenager he still had the imagination of a ignorant child. Zane was hurt at first but soon realised he didn’t care for the old geezer’s harsh words- his father was a stupid man, a fool, he failed to see just how big of a influence O’khasis could have. While Garte made small moves, idle threats towards outsiders and the odd alliance here and there, Zane had bigger plans. Upon research Zane discovered the possibility of another relic lying just outside castle walls and he was determined to acquire it!
After paying for the help of some infamous criminals, The High Priest passed due to “suspicious circumstances”. The region was shaked by the sudden death, a hole was left were the former High Priest once sat- a hole Zane was willing to fill. He was young, most high priests were grey bearded men with both feet in the grave, but Zane was trusted by the people. The people needed him. As soon as Zane snatched the title of High Priest he slapped a target on falcon claw. Fear mongering, throwing around accusations of witchcraft, conspiring with werewolves and coercing with spirits. Such accusations were very hypocritical coming from Zane but his loyal followers were quick to turn against the residents of Falcon Claw. Soon the village was engulfed by flames, the lord and his heir were declared deceased, Zane finally acquired the jewel he desired. He ripped the stone out of the dead lord’s hands. The pillage of Falcon Claw was a warning to all of Ru’ran, it was a clear display of O’khasis’ brutality. The region heard said warning and every village either bowed in submission or built their walls higher.
The late residents of Falcon Claw weren’t the only ones to lose their lives due to such barbarity- after learning of his brother’s lies and deception Vylad Ro’meave was quick to confront the High Preist but he too died at Zane’s hands. The death of the youngest Ro’meave triggered a state of mourning within O’khasis. After rumours that a mysterious migration of creatures from the nether carried out the murder of the young brunette a crusade was planned. Only one person knew the truth. As soon as Garroth’s Ro’meave saw his little brother disfigured in his own sleeping quarters Garroth knew who was responsible. Despite his age, Garroth didn’t have the courage or strength of his youngest brother.Like a coward, Garroth ran. He mother, his people, his fiancée, he abandoned all of them.
Garroth Ro’meave made a vow to himself that if any other Ro’meave was to be executed - he’d be raising the one the axe.

Soooo
Since my Slender's are part demon....
Note:: some of these demon attributes are based off a book my mom read. The immortal, human vessels of demons in that book had to do/couldn't do one thing that corresponded to the demon's title. For example, the vessel to the Demon of Lies could never speak truth, lest they experience excruciating pain; the vessel to the demon of lust had to have sex at least once a day, and it could not be with the same person. I forget the side effect. I'm pretty sure it was also pain.
Demon of Lust ;; Sexual Offenderman
Has to have sex at least once a day, as he feeds off the specifc euphoria gained from the activity, otherwise suffers from extreme stomach cramps and feels very hungover
Can create a sort of hypnotic gas from gills along his neck, and spots on his tail
Can manipulate his voice, often filling the room with his rumbly and deep voice
Can hiss
Has bat-appearing wings, and a snake-like tail that is prehensile
Has claws, cuz thats hot
Saliva can drain a person of energy, so bites his victims before dragging them off somewhere, often leading victims and their known ones thinking it was a vampire who took them
Can alter memories, read minds, and telepathically communicate
Can use fire magik, flames being of a purpley-velvet colour, and can manipulate the temperatures, using this to brand his claims
Demon of Vengence ;; Slenderman
Feeds off of vengence, and has to for sustenance
Recruits vengeful spirits or otherwise living creatures to not only feed him, but hunt for more vengeful spirits, often using his recruits to make more
Can use void magik, using the void to mark his recruits with marks to avoid them being taken by other entities
Can manipulate memories to the extreme, able to make targets forget up to a year of time
Can telepathically communicate, his mouth closed up due to not needing to feed of solid foods, but is still useable
Slender Sickness derives from effects his presence has on victims; being that he causes headaches, can manipulate electronic waves, and manipulate one's perception to an extent, causing hallucinations
Negative energies energize him, and he often agrivates his own recruits, albiet discreetly.
Demon of Joy ;; Splendorman
Feeds off the feeling of euphoria or related effects
Uses children to feed, using his many tricks, and even his fair grounds to bring them joy.
Being in the presence of an upset child makes his stomach hurl, making him as though he'd puke. So, he lightens the child's mood.
Effects of his feeding range from feeling very tired to being downright sick.
Has to feed completely twice a day, otherwise becomes angry, rrsulting in more damage than wanted.
Often drawn to depressed teenagers, taking them in to better them and his source of food.
Can create a "laughing gas", doing as uts name suggests, subjects victims to the gas to extreme bouts of joy and laughter
Can manipulate dreams, often turning nightmares into dreams, or morphing blank eyelids into such joyful landscapes
Can use Molten magik, such magik taking on the form of molten light, or "Liquid Sun", if you will. Like it's brothers, he uses the magik to brand 'favorites'
Demon of Ambitons ;; Trenderman
Feeds off ambition, or related emotions
Often feeds off fashion designers or other artists, finding they have more ambition than any humans he has personally come across
Uses ambition and creativity eaten to create its own projects, finding itself drawn to careers and hobbies on the 'harder' side to maintain and explore
Can use Sœ-Deyn magik [Soh - Deen], a rarer magik taking on the form of whispy clouds or violent sparks. Such magik is sought after, often times forcefully.
Sœ-Deyn magik can be used to manipulate one's surroundings to a limited degree, the degree of whicb being reliant on the potency of the individual's magik, and how efficient the wielder is
Uses Sœ-Deyn magik to brand the more ambitious humans it finds, often returning to those few individuals to occasionally feed
Both this one and the Joy Demon are skinnier than their two brethren, evidence of their uneagerness to eat; whether by choice or not is unclear

Thanking @myheartalivewrites for the tag!
Favourite colour: any and all shades of purple.
Last song: Spectrum by Florence + the Machine. Flo works quite well when I'm writing; the lyrics are all quite metaphorical and normally quite dark.
Last movie: Genuinely the last movie I watched was RWRB ❤️🤍💙 (no I'm not saying how many times I have watched it since)
Currently watching: Poirot, the David Suchet version. Perfect when my brain needs a rest, it's comforting and familiar.
Other stuff I watched this year: Getting my daughter into She-Ra and watching it with her has been really special. Also lots of MAFSAU, a sprinkling of Ahsoka and lots and lots of 911 and 911 Lone Star.
shows I dropped this year/didn't finish: Honestly I'd drop Ahsoka, so far the pacing is terrible but my partner loves it so we're watching it together. I've given up watching the news in general, does that count? Too much existential dread for me to cope with and I don't fancy panic attacks on the daily.
Currently reading: After setting up a book club of 2 with a friend and getting her to fall in love with Firstprince, her recommendation. The Night Circus. Found it took a while to get going anywhere but it's picking up 2/3s of the way in and I think I will happily finish it.
Fic wise, endless rounds of smutty Firstprince and Buddie.
Currently listening to: audiobook of Pride and Prejudice as I saw a truly awful stage version of it at the weekend and need to immerse myself in Austen!
Currently working on: Oh, about 6? Active WIPs? All of them Firstprince, most of them with the angst turned up to 11 but also a nice light romcom I'm working on with @inexplicablymine which is so much fun to write! Never worked on a collab before and we bounce off each other really well 💜
Current obsession: (assuming I'm not allowed 'getting enough sleep'), then I'm going to follow on from @myheartalivewrites and say RWRB!
Tagging @everwitch-magiks @xthelastknownsurvivorx @indomitable-love @inexplicablymine @cha-melodius if you feel like sharing!
