🌲 Subtle Pan Worship 🌿

Take a walk/hike in nature

Take regular breaks from screens; get some fresh air

Go camping out in nature; focus on the wildlife around you; look at the constellations at night

Learn how to safely forage

Get a candle that reminds you of him (no altar needed)

Keep a picture of him in your wallet

Wear jewelry that reminds you of him

Pick wild flowers; press or dry them

Start a garden; tend to a plant

Decorate your space with vines, leaves, and the like; maybe fairy lights with bugs, flowers, or mushrooms on them

Have imagery of fauns, goats, forests, meadows, pan flutes, sheep, wildflowers, or mountains around

Have a stuffed sheep or goat animal; have a stuffed animal of any forest, meadow, or mountain creatures

When you're anxious or afraid, go to the forest or to nature; spend time outside, and breathe; you will be ok

Learn about local fauna and flora

Collect animal bones from nature (please thank the animal's spirit beforehand); make sure to safely handle them; link to some safety tips when handling fleshy remains

Cook with homegrown herbs or produce

Drink a natural herbal or produce beverage; fruit juice works but has high sugar content, so just be aware in case that's an issue for you

Fall asleep/meditate to the sounds of a forest or general wilderness

Pick up trash in your environment

Support environmental preservation organizations, animal sanctuaries, or animal shelters/rescues

Feed neighborhood dogs, cats, birds, etc.

Volunteer at an animal sanctuary or animal shelter

Go outside of your comfort zone; if you're afraid of doing something, do it scared; it could work out far more beautifully than you ever imagined

Learn how to play panpipes; own panpipes in general

Light a bonfire with friends in the wilderness (SAFELY!!!!); share scary stories, especially those y'all have directly experienced

Plant seeds, especially the fruit of vegetables you've eaten; give it new life

Research coping skills for stress, fear, or anxiety; try some for yourself

Keep a dream journal specifically dedicated to nightmares; try to interpret them; what are they trying to tell you?

Explore the areas nearby you, be it nature or otherwise; acquaint yourself with the unfamiliar

Get comfortable with the concept of the unknown and uncertainty; remind yourself that you need not know everything in order for it to work out in your favor

Address the uncertainties in your life that cause you the most stress; find your own answers; topics like death, the afterlife, the long-term future, etc.

Play with your pets; spend time with them

Keep your pet healthy; feed them good food, take them on regular walks/exercise them, keep them up to date on vaccines, etc.

Do something fun and new with your partner (or alone); try something exciting or scary that you've always wanted to try

Use natural herbs and remedies to address minor health issues, such as stomaches or sore throat

Try urban exploring - the practice of visiting abandoned places, especially those that have been reclaimed by nature

Face your fears; learn to work through them

Recycle; reuse things that don't need to be immediately disposed of; use compost for your garden or nearby plants

Take time to be alone and decompress, especially after a long day

Cook a good meal for someone in need

Cook a good meal for you or your loved ones

-

This list still feels pretty short to me, so I'll likely add more in the future. For now, this is my list of discreet ways to worship Pan. I hope this is helpful to someone, and take care! 💚

Words are Fleeting like Shadows

Quick lil piece about Gale struggling to write a poem about you, his beloved at the riverside camp. Tried to make it pine-y but idk just needed to write my idea out. be nice im sensitive.

The lantern, positioned at the edge of the campsite, emitted a soft, warm glow, illuminating the surrounding area. Sitting beside the river, Gale had his back hunched over his journal, his forehead furrowed with frustration. His quill hung uncertainly in his hand as he stared at the blank page before him, lost in thoughts of the one he had longed for. The sound of the river running close by was the only thing that broke the silence of the night.

Gale had been sitting like this for hours, trying to capture the essence of his feelings in verse. He longed to describe the beauty, grace, and spirit he saw in his beloved, but the words eluded him like fleeting shadows. Despite his best efforts, Gale couldn't find the right words, and frustration was mounting.

He missed Tara, his dear Tressym companion, who had always been his confidante, muse, and ever-faithful companion. Her feline wisdom and gentle purrs had often helped him break through writer's block, but she was nowhere to be found; she was probably back home in Waterdeep.

Gale dipped his quill into the inkwell again, determined to break through the barrier holding him captive. He closed his eyes and summoned memories of his beloved, trying to recall every detail of her laughter and smile. He wanted nothing more than to immortalize his feelings for her in verse, but try as he might, the words remained stubbornly out of reach.

Frustration and longing were bubbling within him, threatening to consume him whole. He yearned to pour his heart out onto the page, to express the depths of his love, but he couldn't find the right words. So, he closed his journal and set aside his quill, resigned that some things were beyond his grasp. For now, all he could do was wait, hope, and dream of the day when he finally found the words to express his love for her.

had a dream I got to go Giant Centipede Mode and it was sooooo awesome. I threw a car :3

#dream journal #you know how it is. running around at max speed with the power of a beast. you just start throwing things to see if you can #I think I also crushed a car. like constrictor snake style. love that #dont remember much context but I think I was trying to scare someone away #from like my friend. maybe it was buggy who knows. wish i remembered more! #just the mad frenzy of having more strength than I ever imagined at my disposal! ^_^ #just the barely-conscious mania as I felt my muscles burn! ^_^ the foreign instincts informing my attacks! ^_^ #just the sensation of losing myself almost completely to the adrenaline rush of committing acts of wanton destruction! ^_^ #I think I started hunting someone just before I woke up lol. extremely fun dream 10/10

Had an interesting dream last night involving werewolves, where for one section of the dream I WAS the werewolf. Then, for the next, it went back in time and instead dumped me in the role of the people who were hunted by the werewolf

A bit of a mindfuck honestly

Later on I was instead in a sidekick role, and I remember being so… frustrated? upset? angry? because my (werewolf) friend was giving me advice about which job offer to take, because the one I wanted was “all about short term benefits” acting like it was all so simple, and I was like “yeah because YOU aren’t expendable. I’m going to die, honestly probably sooner rather than later. So why the fuck would I plan for a future that won’t even happen?”

Woke up and just sat with that for a moment

#my dreams #dream journal #wow if you strip away the werewolf aspect it’s almost like my brain is thinking about current events #but let me tell you going from The Werewolf to the The Hunted was a mindfuck #literally reversed time and went to a bystander and just. dumped me into that role instead #my two fellow coworkers I actually asked and they said they were always them in dreams #is it weird that I’m almost never me? #me as a werewolf was a young man #me as a bystander was an older woman #me as a sidekick was a teenage boy with bitterness in my heart and an acceptance of my death in service of the plot and my best friend #is this a queer or enby thing

@wxxfi IM SORRY IM SORRY

I genuinely felt so bad a couple hours after posting it that I nearly deleted it—

I will treat him kindly from now on <:•)

#i love him so much I don’t want to hurt him #I just needed to vent out that dream and writing it in my dream journal was not enough #I know I said I wanna try to draw creepier things but I don’t think I can #I like the happy fun and colorful stuff way more #wally darling plush #welcome home fanart #well more like a roughly rendered sketch

[sysig]

I think I finally figured out why I like him so much

#ADHD #Meme #Shitpost #Helix #SCII #Max Vyer #Dexter Favin #Me projecting all over Max: Man he's just like me fr #He feels so ADHD to me like hang on hear me out #He's extremely impulsive - absolutely dopamine-motivated - struggles paying attention to things he's not interested in - #But also gets fixated on things like his dream journaling and anything related to it - space/aliens/spaceships/etc. #It being like The Only Thing that he ''can focus on'' - as well as wanting to engage with it when he's stressed! #Has lots of half-abandoned hobbies and impulsively ''jokes'' about getting really invested in something and then losing interest #Like wanting a lot of animals - hehe - or what jobs he wants to do while committing to none of them #He also takes things really personally which like - RSD. Do I need to explain lol #Has difficulty making and keeping friends - is forgetful and ''forgetful'' hehe I'm quite familiar #I also kind of read him getting high or drunk regularly as like?? really maladaptive attempts at self-medicating?? #Dopamine-deficient brains are way more likely to develop or lean on addictions to be at least Closer to level stimulation #He's constantly understimulated and all his caretakers see it as a moral failing when like! He's just expected to Get Guud lol #He needs accommodations! His brain is clawing at the walls trying to get his Executives to Function! #This man has undiagnosed ADHD please get him to a psychologist #Lbh tho his parents would be the type to say ''Don't use your diagnosis as an excuse'' as if he could just control it lol #Don't even get me started on when he and ZEX Freaky-Friday lol #Something something ZEX problematic queer something something Max problematic ADHD lol - look if it's Correct it's Correct! #Anyway this is just my reading and I'm Absolutely Definitely projecting to some degree - please read Helix and love Max of your own volition

A COUPLE nights ago i had some dream about this very ._. girl who was an aspiring rockstar and in the dream she had hair that was like simultaneously pink and blonde BUT LIKE not like dyed or highlights it was like. you know. just pink and blonde at the same time. so i just layered pink over yellow paint LOL it made a sorta pinky orange....

#dream journal #art #traditional art #watercolour #you know how dreams are. things are pink and orange at the same time #she played guitar and had a pretty strong and expressive singing voice its just she looked like.. ._. #the plot was very shoujosei manga or maybe a little mid 2010s voltage-esque otome game #it was about some over confident 'bad boy player' type character who accidentally ends up as roommates with this o_o of an aspiring musician #(there was a third roommate who was a mutual friend but they mysterious disappeared a la the writer in scandal in the spotlight) #(leaving these two to figure out the new roomies situation on their own) #and then he kinda just gets into the music bizz of it all even more by accident LOL #im pretty sure my brain just mashed like five different media i like into this dream. probably a bunch of shoujo manga #absolutely some sitp. also some characters (like this ._. girl) definitely got elements from certain idol multimedia franchises i enjoy LOL #its fun when ur dreams are like that. mashing everything together

It’s hard to justify spending money on, and it’s a little embarrassing even if it’s fun, but I’m kinda tempted to make an art book of digital art I’ve done. It’d be almost half wizard101 fanart, and a lot of oc stuff. One thing I kinda miss about doing less traditional these days is not really having sketchbooks to flip through. In general if I’m gonna spend money on an art book I’d rather it be someone else’s art book… I have a few because I do enjoy splurging on one every once in a while when I can afford it. but it would scratch some kinda itch to have one of my own too. Somewhere (not sure where I put it) I have one of photography I did, since it was required as a final project for one of my photography classes. But it’d be nice to have one of drawings, since that’s my main thing. Idk

#surge talks #i mean I have slightly more money after top surgery than I expected. assuming my healing time doesnt get suddenly prolonged and I dont get #randomly laid off or something. but i’ve been healing well so far other than my janky nipple #and now that my lifelong burden of saving for top surgery is over I almost feel like I can use my money for more fun stuff if i want #idk i’m still debating. maybe. idk. idk #I really wanna finish my dream journal project and print a copy for myself too #and my novel wip #it’d be so satisfying to have a small shelf of things I made in print you know? #god i might just do it

[pallas-cat]

im joking but im almost tempted to "if you don't accept me you're ableist and you're in trouble" my way into a class because some of the things they require for said class are. um!

basically they're asking for a certain amount of ability to focus/organize + a level of french writing proficiency and having known that uni's standards it's very much "if you don't know quebec cégep and essay grammar rules to a T you need to take a full extra class to even think of existing in this program" which punched me in the face on my first semester there. (and punched pretty much every non-quebec student in the face lmao!)

and like. ok i get it it's a special kind of project but i read the contents and it's literally just. a class. 3 credits. posted like it was a job.

#there is this like #enviro journalism thing #but also it could kill me so maybe let's take the standard class instead #it's just so much more relevant to shit that actually interests me i never wanna study waste management ever again #i should have phoned before w shit like #HEYYYY i'm disabled by legal/uni terms does this heavy writing thing offer accomodation for my #particular brand of bad brain #it probably won't! #but a mentally challenged bitch can dream

[aeide-thea]

attempting yet again to rejigger my yet again extremely fucked sleep cycle and. experiencing repercussions

#it truly is SO reliable that if i go to bed early enough my body thinks it’s a nap #i WILL wake up in the dark with my heart beating rapidfire feeling totally discombobulated and‚ like‚ emotionally hung over #having had some sort of disconcertingly vivid dream #anyway now i’m like. Up but in the way where i’m thinking abt how i’ve always felt like an invisible camera instead of a person #which are like. not ordinarily morning thoughts??? #on the bright side i fell asleep in a lot of merino so at least when i woke up frazzled and gasping i wasn’t also sweaty??? #magic wicking temperature-regulating fiber my beloved. some people use it for real things! i just use it to wick my anxiety away. 🤘 #journaling #mundanities

I was looking through my notes for Good Omens fanfiction, and realized almost every damn story includes Crowley having a baby.

There's the one where Heaven and Hell decide to use an angel baby carried by a demon as a diplomatic tool, leading into Crowley being protected by Michael, and them falling in love.

There's the one where she leaves her baby with Anathema and disappears, which triggers all the following events - from the search, to Aziraphale's trial, and everything else.

There's the one where she has to supply the new Antichrist, which leads to her and Lucifer falling in love, and her being crowned the Queen of Hell. (Well, this one is really two stories set in different timelines, in the second one the "baby" is like 27)

In the one inspired by a dream, she does have a baby eventually, but that's far from the worst thing that happens to her. Gabriel's treatment of her after is... How the Hell will I write this damn thing if I can't even think about it.

There's no baby in the one where she gets tortured with diluted holy water.

I see I have no storyline with male Crowley just yet... Fine, that's not true. I do have some thoughts for Crowley x Fem!Lucifer... It could include a new Antichrist, too. And, Crowley wouldn't be the pregnant one for once. But, dealing with pregnant Lucifer would probably be even scarier.

had a dream that there was an ace attorney game where u play as klavier and it turned out klavier's internal monologue was extremely hilarious

#i found out abt it in the dream via posts abt the Gay Parts. aka exactly how i found out abt the original trilogy #dream journal #WISH i remembered specifics. mostly just that he would recall things apollo had said to him and itd be #the dumbest or most mundane shit ud ever heard and klavier would be like 'i owe him my life'

[cherrirui-official]

I had a dream last night and a lot of wild stuff happened but the thing that bewildered me the most was getting a phone call from a fictional character I used to like and their voice almost sounded EXACTLY like their actual voice even tho I haven't heard it irl in like years at this point

#it was like slightly off but other than that? it was perfect #bruh im gonna have to go back and listen to thwir voice again bc this shit wild #no i will not say who the character is i think that makes things funnier #also sorry for talking so much abt my dreams lately lol #i just think theyre really interesting sometimes #maybe i should have my own dream journal tag lmao #like “cherris dream journal” or some shit idk i cant think of a good name rn #nuls nonsense

[sourkitsch]

Had a weird stress dream where I tried to show my art at some art thing where my classmates were working and they publicly humiliated me and then there were a series of trains and I was supposed to help my friend at a hospital but I got lost and got on the wrong train . My phone was at 5% the entire time too which made me so stressed. Also most of the dream happened in Poughkeepsie which is on the same Metro north line as town w a gallery I’m waiting to hear back from about a submission. Girl not the omens.

#admittedly I when I normally comb my dreams for symbols they are not so obvious #like obviously the museum where people were doing install—a more prestigious opportunity than the job I’m currently having problems with #also what is my life but a series of trains. also I expected to see that same friend at train station today bc I know he takes that train #to work but he wasn’t there today. but also hospitals and loss and my grandma who’s getting a bunch of tests done on Monday #my phone— pressure loss of security — been worrying a lot about post grad and being able to afford to live when my mom stops helping #with my rent when I graduate. maybe even loss of language and communication? the Poughkeepsie thing is probably obvious. #I’ve never actually stopped there I just like the name so much it’s always stuck in my brain #my slayful traumagirlie dream analysis #hope everyone enjoyed this is getting deleted after I transcribe it into my dream journal in the morning

[violentdevotion]
