As Halloween Arrives, I'm Here to Remind You: Your F/o Loves Your Witchiness!
TW: This imagine is to comfort any witches stuck in the broom closet who are watching their families mock, belittle, and demonize their beliefs, you're not alone, but please be aware that this might trigger some religious trauma. Scroll if you must, but please remember, your f/o loves everything about you, blessed be and to any witches who celebrate it, Happy Samhain!
🔮 They never have been, and never will be afraid of you. They trust, and love you with all of their being.
🔮 They know you aren't evil and they will quickly come to your defense if someone starts harassing you.
🔮 They're always curious about your practices and love to watch you work and listen to you talk about your beliefs!
🔮 If you put out offerings then they make sure to check if you're out or running low so they can pick up more of that thing for you!
🔮 They will sometimes ask you to do readings for them, both for fun and also for clarity.
🔮 Your f/o and familiar love each other but also sometimes fight over who gets your immediate attention.
🔮 Because of your tendency to stop and pick up random stones, loose change, leaves, feathers and whatever else you find on your walk--
🔮--they start doing that as well even when you're not around!
🔮They love watching your face light up everytime they bring you a new nicnack! You're like an excitable little raven they love keeping happy!
🔮 They love bragging about you, with your permission of course, and your practices.
🔮 To them it's like, "What's cooler than having a witch as a partner?".
🔮 You always tell them, "Having you as a partner?" With a smile, but they politely agree to disagree, they still think having you is more cool!
🔮 They love when you give them something made with your magick.
🔮 If you give them a protection spell, they hang it up in their car, or around their satchels, or just somewhere they can keep it close for you.
🔮 If you give them food, or any sweet, that you've made with home grown herbs, or that you've carved sigils in, they'll happily eat it, knowing that you made it for them out of love!
🔮 When Halloween comes around they addimently remind you that they don't think of you as an evil witch. That they know who you are. That you are loving, and kind, and sweet.
🔮 They remind you of what youve told them long ago, "There is no such thing as a good witch or a bad witch."
🔮They remind you that you are a good person, and your magick and practices reflect the love and light you carry inside of you.
🔮 "I don't care what they say. Their opinions are based on the fear of powerful women, off of horror movies and tv shows, of people twisting your practices into something it's not."
🔮 "You are good, my love. You are so good. Don't ever let them make you feel like a monster, because you're not. Your magick is just as beautiful as you are, and in case I don't say it enough, my love; you are so so very beautiful..."

so, you've heard shows be recommended because they had gay characters. you don't really know what they're actually about though, and don't know if they'd be something you'd be into and are worried about spoilers. here's spoiler free plot summaries of em!
The Owl House
The Owl House starts out as a typical teenage girl goes into a fantasy realm story, but with a twist. Actions have consequences. The protagonist is a girl named Luz Noceda, who was being sent to a camp to make her behave normally by her mother after causing too much trouble at school. She ends up finding a place she's always dreamed of: a fantasy world. A world where everyone's so much weirder than she is. And she thinks, maybe if I don't belong out there, maybe people will like me here. Maybe I can be special here.
It's a story about found family, propaganda, erased history, living with disability, religious trauma, and neurodivergence. It's fundamentally a show about people who's brains work differently finding each other and making a family that treats them right. Definitely my favorite of the ones on this list. It's about people who've been oppressed being pissed about it and about finding yourself again after giving up on everyone around you for so long. It's basically a show about being a minority and trying to be understood and to understand yourself in the process. It's about growing up neurodivergent and how isolating it feels and figuring yourself out. It's about repairing broken relationships and parents who fuck up. And it's just. Such a love letter to anyone who was the weird kid in school. It's sad and heartbreaking and also so hopeful, and it's wonderful.
Content warnings: Abuse, Death, Grief, Animal Death, Suicidal thoughts, Vague suicide attempts, Depression, blink and you'll miss it s/h, body horror, religious trauma
She Ra and the Princesses Of Power
Adora was raised in the Horde since she was a baby, being fed propaganda about how cruel the princesses were. After learning how the horde actually was, though, she defects. But there's one problem. Her best friend, Catra, stays behind. Adora finds a sword that can transform her into She Ra, and might be the key to figuring out who she really is, while Catra takes her place as force captain.
It's a story about abuse, at the end of the day. Adora and Catra were stuck in a golden child and scapegoat dynamic, despite how much they care about each other. This leads to them knowing everything about each other but not understanding it. There's a fundamental disconnect between them, because both of their traumas are completely different. They have complete misconceptions about each other. Even in their initial split, they both have completely different perceptions of what's going on and why the other is upset. It's not a story about magic princesses, it's about the cycle of abuse and what makes it so complicated. Does it have flaws? Yeah. But ultimately I really really enjoy it, and when it does something right it does something RIGHT. Get through season one, it starts kids show-y but it gets very good during later s1.
Content warnings: Abuse (obviously), body horror, gaslighting (and I mean actual gaslighting, not what the Internet thinks gaslighting is), suicide, depression, flashing lights and eyestrain during the finale
Steven Universe
Steven Universe is a sins of the father story. Steven is the son of the leader of the rebel group The Crystal Gems, who's name was Rose Quartz. He navigates the confusion of being half gem and half human, as well as trying to figure out the mess of the rebellion and what his mother left behind. He's constantly in her shadow, for better or for worse.
It's a story about grief. How it impacts relationships, how it taints history, how it impacts family. It has some definite flaws, but ultimately it's about very flawed people who have lost so many people in their life trying to cope with it. Trying to handle what they lost and trying to adjust to life without them. It's about how expectations fuck a kid up and about agency and just a show about complicated relationships in general, at the end of the day. Also, it has some FANTASTIC music.
Content warnings: Grief, Abuse, body horror, very creepy people I don't know how to tag, heavy allegories for homophobia
Nimona
Nimona is a story about a guy who gets framed for murder. His name is Ballister Boldheart, a commoner who hoped to become a knight. It seemed everyone was waiting to watch him fail, so it was no surprise when he was the immediate target. Heavily injured and away from the man he loves, he's left alone trying to figure out a way to prove his innocence- until a strange kid comes into his life. This kids name is Nimona, and while he is intent on proving his innocence, she gave up on being anything but a villain a long time ago.
It's about deconstructing the model minority myth, trans rage, propaganda, and with a healthy dose of "FUCK the police".
Content warnings: Heavy injury, on screen suicide attempt, flashing lights
