Fire season is here!
I know this is from the Washington State DNR, but like. please can we not set ANY of the states or counties or cities or towns or municipalities or villages or census designated places on fire either? and not just today, but for the entire future?
Tumblr media
this is the current map of drought intensity in the PNW. It's not terrible, but the forecast for this weekend leading up to the 4th is blazing. (map from here)

Reading agot chapters of the stark sisters and coming to the conclusion that they hate each other in isolation from their parents’ understanding of them and society’s rigid expectations on them is idiotic as fuck. They are both classic products of their environments, both familial and social, and their feelings of each are heavily informed by these two things. Please take your Sansa and Arya hate each other because they’re antagonists, and are going to come head to head thematically in the later books, and dump it in the trash where it belongs.

Only YOU Can Prevent Witchy Fires
Hello witches, workers, and all in between! Your friendly neighborhood Granny is here to teach you a few things about fire safety!
Yes, yes, I know. “But Buggy, this is tumblr! And you're on a boring witchcraft blog! What do we need a lesson on fire safety for? We aren’t in kindergarten!” But trust me! More than one witch has accidentally singed their hair or set their own altar on fire before! Sometimes we get so into the spiritual that we forget to be mindful of the reality around us.
I’m going to go over a bundle of good tips to keep in mind for making a wax seal over that spell jar or burning a few bay leaves or ingredients to release that nonsense into the air! Even a section for the kitchen witches!
Indoor Safety:
*Those annoying fire alarms? Make sure they are operational okay? Change those batteries at least once a year, preferably twice. (If it is something you are in control of.)
*Always use a fire-safe candle holder for candles! Trim down that wick before lighting! I know it seems silly to use a pair of scissors or a wick trimmer, but trimming down that wick will always make that flame much easier to manage. And that flame? If it gets big enough to cause black smoke ALWAYS put it out.
*Always keep the candle in your line of sight, no meditation with an open flame going okay? Also if your candle is big enough to burn for more than four hours...put it out at the 4 hour mark.
*The longer a candle burns the more carbon gathers on the wick itself and that can make the flame get bigger and more unstable. Those ultra-wobbly flames that flicker and waves like one of those wacky inflatable arm flailing tube men? That is something you don’t want.
*Putting out a candle: We don’t recommend putting it out with your fingers no matter how cool it looks. Use a candle snuffer, or blow it out. I promise blowing out a deity candle won’t insult them!
*Another crucial tip is to keep anything that could catch fire a minimum of three feet or 91 centimeters AWAY from the fire source. That includes carpeted flooring, cloth, hair, rugs, altar cloths, papers, books, all sorts of things! Always wear your hair back when working with fire, and wear close fitting clothing that won’t hang or drape into the fire with your movements.
*Another tip given straight from the NSC is to NEVER use candles or other fire sources while tired or inebriated! That means no 2 am spell jars if you are half asleep! ALSO never EVER leave a candle WARM or actively BURNING! Same goes for any items you are burning down like bay leaves. Burn them in a fire safe bowl that is much bigger than you think you need. Toss the debris around and soak in water to ensure they are safely doused.
*IF you are using wax to seal off spell jars I highly suggest getting a wax sealing kit! Wax sealing kits come with a little spoon that you drop bits of wax into and ‘melt’ them down over something like a tea candle. An example is this: Which you can find on Amazon for roughly $10 USD!
Tumblr media
The spoon is perfect for pouring and there’s less likelihood of the candle you would sit on top of the jar from falling off because...there is no candle! If you only have a candle to work with...please don’t burn the candle on top of the object you are sealing, put the candle in a safe holder and hold it over the object once warm to let the wax drip down. Have the object you are sealing sitting on top of a safe ceramic plate or bowl in case of drippage!
But what do I do if a fire starts?
Good question! That depends on the type of fire it is! Here’s a breakdown of the types and methods to put them out: Ordinary Fire: An ordinary fire is caused by candles, papers, cloth, plastics, that sort of thing!
The good news is these types of fires respond amazingly well to plain old water! It’s always advised that you keep a bucket or pitcher full of water within reach whenever using candles just in case!
Electric Fire: Electric fires are caused by a source of electricity, like wires getting crossed and arching.
NEVER use water on an electrical fire! If you do, you'll just electrocute yourself. If it’s safe to do so...unplug the object from the outlet. Turn off the electricity in your house’s electric breaker box. Smother the flames by pouring baking soda onto them.
Chemical Fire: Chemical fires have a chemical as a fuel source, like rubbing alcohol, nail polish & polish remover. Even your nails near a candle can produce a small chemical fire if you aren’t careful! (Dry those nails up good before using candles.) These fires can only be put out with a fire blanket OR pouring a LARGE quantity of baking soda or sand onto the fire.
Cooking Fires: Cooking fires are the most common form of household fire. It can be caused by grease, burning food, or burning cooking oil. Water will NOT work on any fire oil or grease based, it may seem like a first instinct to grab the pan and toss it into a sink with water...DON’T.
That will cause the oil to splatter and can injure you and make any flames spread further! It the fire is small enough and contained within a pot or skillet, have a lid or baking sheet handy and throw that onto the top of the fire, this will smother it out. A fire blanket can also be used for this. Do NOT swat at the flames, this is just a fanning motion and will give the fire more oxygen to grow with! Pour a large amount of salt or baking soda on top of the fire. MAKE SURE it is not flour, as flour will cause the fire to grow quick enough to even explode! Turn off any heat source.
And if the fire is in the oven or microwave? Leave that door CLOSED. It seems super scary but the fire will smother itself out when trapped in a small box. (Of which both cooking items are.)
Outdoor Safety:
Never burn outdoors if it is windy or extra dry! Do not burn general trash, only burn natural dry vegetation/herbs. Always check your local ordinances and make sure there are no burn bans in your area currently active!
If you are going to burn outside, clear away a circular space for the burning items. Far enough away from overgrowth, houses, powerlines, and other such things. The burning site should have plenty of dirt or gravel around it, usually around 10 feet, 304 centimeters circular if burning a campfire-size burning space. Make sure the dirt and gravel is well doused in water to prevent any spreading.
Always stay around the fire until it is completely out. Turn the debris from your burn a few times and douse it hard with water. NEVER leave dry ash on the ground, embers could be still warm enough to catch on the inside of the ash! Keep checking on that burn area for a few days or a few weeks to make sure nothing is left, especially during warmer or dryer months. Don’t toss matches or other lighting instruments just anywhere! Those can still be warm and still catch grass alight.
And there you have it! A crash course on being safe with fire while doing your thing and slinging your spells!

Apparently no matter how many people complain about it the message just doesn't get through. So here's one last ditch effort to try and help people understand. I would appreciate it if the Linkverse communities spread this around.
Younger fandom members, newer fandom members and LoZ Tumblr newbies listen up!
Linked Universe is a Zelda AU created by Jojo56830. It has its own fandom surrounding the comic Jojo makes and is an entirely self-contained Zelda sub-fandom.
Linked Universe is NOT the catch-all name for every single AU involving the Links being grouped together.
Most people in the fandom refer to these AUs as "Linkverses" or "Links meet AUs", but they can simply just be called Zelda AUs.
Why does this distinction matter? Because tons of creators who also have their own Linkverse AUs repeatedly and often get their works tagged as "Linked Universe" by people reblogging their art.
This, plain and simple, is discouraging and disrespectful. These creators are trying to make their own projects and have undoubtedly done a lot of work to make their ideas distinct and unique. To tag their work as LU forcefully groups their work in with an unrelated AU, simply because both AUs share the same basic concept. Not to mention, it muddies the water and makes it harder for people to recognise these AUs as being distinctive at first glance.
That being said, I understand it can be confusing to tell which AUs are their own separate entity and which AUs (of AUs) are attached to Linked Universe.
As a general rule of thumb, posts that are not tagged as LU should not be tagged as LU (to see the original tags click on the poster's username). But if after that you are still confused, ask someone. Please PLEASE do not make assumptions. You have no idea how much those assumptions might hurt the artist or might cause them to outright block you.
So TLDR
Linked Universe is a story about Links meeting.
But not every story about Links meeting is Linked Universe.
Stop tagging every Link's meet AU you see with Linked Universe tags, because it's getting ridiculous at this point.

So, it's often said the decision to have White Clouds be followed by Crimson Flower rather than Silver Snow is you making the choice to "side with Edelgard and the Empire over Rhea and the Church of Seiros". But, looking at the above screens....is that really what happens?
In actuality, the choice you have Byleth make is to agree to kill Edelgard at Rhea's behest or step between her and Rhea in order to protect Edelgard. If you didn't unlock the choice, then Byleth's only response besides "I must kill Edelgard" is total silence, meaning they aren't willing to kill Edelgard but neither do they want to outright make a move to protect her (totally understandable, given that Edelgard is the Flame Emperor who thus has some connection to Jeralt's death, tenuous as it may be, plus the Church of Seiros is Byleth's patron and their mercenary mindset to not make a move against the one who pays you may still be in effect).
Point being is that when Byleth makes the Crimson Flower-inducing choice to protect Edelgard, they aren't saying they completely agree with Edelgard, or that they want to leave the Church and side with the Empire to fight a war against it, or that they want to kill Rhea. Byleth is simply saying "Y'know what, Rhea? Demanding immediate execution without a fair trial is fucked up. Edelgard deserves a chance to speak her side of things." Byleth joining the side that starts the war is, ironically enough, because they chose the non-violent option: to protect someone and be willing to hear them out rather than kill first and ask questions later. Rhea is the one who betrays Byleth, not the other way around, because rather than listen to Byleth's resolve and try coming to a peaceful solution, she immediately deems them a traitor who must also be executed ASAP. And yes, she's got a solid Freudian Excuse for this behavior with the whole Nemesis ordeal, but the other characters shouldn't be expected to know that when she isn't willing to tell them about it. It ultimately wasn't Byleth's choice that made Crimson Flower transpire, it was Rhea's reaction to that choice. When your enemy is someone that insists all dissidents be executed without any due process, then war against them becomes that much easier to justify. So if you hate Crimson Flower? Blame Rhea.

The American Red Cross - redcross.org, or 1-800-RED-CROSS
The Hawai'i Community Foundation -
Maui United Way -
Maui Food Bank - the food bank is helping feed those displaced by the fires in emergency shelters.

I am going to need the 'tv show that takes place during a war' fandoms to stop putting 'mentions of war' as a trigger warning on fics.
If you're reading on these fandoms we should be there already. The war is implied. If you're here expecting not to find the war I'm going to gently suggest that perhaps you need a different fandom.

Hey, I love your artwork, so, I was wondering, is that okay to help you with ideas to draw, cause I'm an editor, so I can send you a photo, that can help you, if you like to?
Hello! I am not an artist this is a bottom of the barrel art upload account! I have no talent here!

With JLA and Blue Box Press gifting us the first three chapters of A Fire in the Flesh today, it's time for your first friendly reminder that AFITF releases in 25 days on October 31st, 2023. This means a post to talk to the maybe one or two of you that might care what this blog will look like around that time.
This is what the "itinerary" looks like.
Starting now, October 6th to October 30th - posts featuring Flesh and Fire characters will be weaned. The tags #afitf spoilers and #a fire in the flesh spoilers will be used on any F&F related posts.
October 31st - For the next month, all posts related to the Flesh and Fire series will be stopped.
November 30th - The F&F freeze ends. #afitf spoilers and #a fire in the flesh spoilers will be in use once more on related posts.
At a yet undetermined date, though around another month, those tags will be phased out.
Once again, thank you all for joining me here. Remember to block your tags, be wary of social media, and I'll see you all again closer to release day!

Severe flooding in the financial district. Keep clear. If you're trapped, pm your location to one of the Bats' accounts. They're providing (to quote Nightwing) "air Lyfts, free of charge. Except Hood. He owes me twenty bucks"

⚠️ ATTENTION PLS ⚠️
pls report and block @lotsssuhtummedyumms
but do not engage directly
he is a pedophile, zoophile, doxxer, and racist who assumed i’m a minor and began harassing me
he’s apparently had the cops called on him before and his internet forcibly cancelled but of course he still walks free…
he targets dragons hence the dragon fandom related tags but his harassment towards me was on a drawing of my persona so it seems he’s branching out.
he has been targeting fandoms that have lots of minors as well.
links below the cut and cw for all i mentioned being in those links
i was confused by their word salads but felt uncomfortable regardless and rightfully so
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
here is in more detail what he has done
here is a psa by the artist he stole the pfp he is using from and another post
again DO NOT engage with him and DO NOT file dmca or anything because he will use the claim to dox you
Tumblr media
this sicko is a zoophile and has a dog god i hope the dog snaps and gets revenge

Fire Emblem Observation
Tumblr media
The Flame Emperor is both not as bad as the game initially wants you to think and worse than some of the more, shall we say, hardcore Edelgard fans want to think. Let me explain.
The Flame Emperor did NOT, in fact, try to have Dimitri and Claude assassinated at the beginning of the game, and people who actually think she did are being ridiculous - if that was the idea, then she wouldn't have stuck with them during the attack nor would she have hired idiot bandit Kostas and his goons whom Dimitri and Claude can vanquish with ease rather than the Death Knight or one of the Slithers. Her plan was to scare away the new teacher so that Jeritza could take his place...a plan that succeeded in Three Hopes, but that was thwarted in Three Houses by the appearance of Byleth. She also was not responsible for Flayn's kidnapping - that was Thales, who merely "requested" her to loan him the Death Knight and as we later learn he doesn't truly make "requests", nor was she responsible for what happened at Remire Village following the experiments the Slithers did on Flayn's blood. And she was absolutely NOT responsible in any way for the Tragedy of Duscur, that was just Dimitri's paranoia talking after hearing Thales saying it was done "to provide her with the strength she needs", mistakenly believing the Flame Emperor to be in charge of Thales rather than vice-versa. So we can cross out those as crimes that the Flame Emperor committed.
But with that said, hiring, double-crossing and potentially killing Kostas once he'd failed to secure the outcome she wanted is an evil deed. Having her forces pulling the strings of the Western Church (and Lonato by extension) to aid her and doing nothing while they are killed for it is an evil deed. Allowing Kronya-as-Monaca free reign around Garreg Mach to do the things that ultimately led to Jeralt's death is an evil deed. Breaking into the Holy Tomb with her soldiers to steal Crest Stones and threatening to kill anyone who tries to interfere is an evil deed. And leading an army to sack Garreg Mach without anything remotely resembling popular support is an evil deed. There's also whatever the Hell this was that she intended to do to Flayn and Kronya-as-Monaca, which is a Schrodinger's Crime given that we never are allowed to see it....though it likely wasn't as bad as "bring me the women" makes it sound.
In short, the Flame Emperor is a terrorist turned war criminal who should have her crimes acknowledged, but isn't the utter monster that the Slithers pulling her strings are either.
