woohoo ocs!!!

19. introduce an oc that means a lot to you

20. do any of your ocs sing? (if they do, care to share more details)

24. which one of ur ocs would you meet and why?

50. talk about anything you want about your ocs!!

idk if i did this right but whatevs lol <33

im gonna bite you <3 i am digging out my old sketchbooks for this get ready bc the ones on my post from the other day arent the only ones gonna get mentioned 19: my baby Oceanis !! shes a shark, and one of my very first ocs i made on pony town. ive only ever drawn her once, but i regularly use the skin whenever i play pt :D (art acquired from my old instagram thats why the quality is shit 👍 also eee pony town skin, im still very proud of how she turned out)

20: yes ! he would never admit it, but Micah sings !! he doesnt do it often, as it brings back memories from when he was alive, but not all of them are good memories... (Micah is a ghost :3 another pony town skin ehe)

24: definitely Miau, i never explored her personality, simply cat oc that i used for a minecraft skin (and actually still do, though i dont play much. her design needs an update). i feel like she has really god potential though :D 50: ive told you this before but ill say it again- i dont love some of my ocs like i should. my old stuff from 2018-2019 i never drew more than once. i think im going to go through the sketchbooks and make a list of which ones i want to keep and give more love to, and either give away or lay to rest the remaining ones. same with pony town, except if i give them away ill have to draw them beforehand. but anyways, yeah just a thought on how i used to make new characters constantly and never draw them more than the one time heh boom, you now have more OCs of mine and a bit of lore on one of them- do with this information what you wish :3

OK NEURODIVERGENT GAANG TIME BC I WANNA

these hcs are kinda halfway set in a modern au bc thats my context for this ! (gonna split it up so its not as long bc i drafted the original and it was LONG) water tribe siblings first !!!

Sokka

adhd/autism king 😌

[ID: a screenshot of Sokka standing on a raised stone platform with a map of the Fire nation hanging behind him. He’s holding his arms stiffly by his side with a wide-eyed look on his face, brows raised as he has his mouth open, saying something. End ID.]

- schedules to survive, he likes to know what hes getting into and if you try to change plans on him without warning he’ll be very resistant

- smart kid who doesnt study, oh he tries, oh boy does he try, he ends up reading the same sentence over and over until he gets distracted by drawing something, working on the blueprint for his latest invention, or with researching something completely unrelated to what he’s mean to be studying. then he tosses and turns all night because he’s stressed by not having studied, but when he actually takes the test he makes a 105, despite there not even being a bonus question, he just answered the essay question so well the teacher gave him an extra 5 points

- special interests?? we got em!!! classic weaponry (think swords, boomerangs, but also, like canons and catapults and shit) engineering/physics, art/drawing, strategy games. he tends to hyperfocus within his special interests, so like for a week he was hellbent on building his own full sized trebuchet, much to the dismay of Gran Gran who just wanted to grow her tomatoes without them being crushed by said full size trebuchet

- (also he plays all types of games probably, but he def plays those ones where you take over the world, like the ones online and azula also plays them too and they end up being rivals, while not actually knowing who the other is outside of their usernames)

- he also talks a lot in his classes/is like the ‘class clown’ and ppl think this is him not focusing but engaging this way actually helps him focus way more than sitting silently, a lot of teachers dont understand it but the ones who do are actually paying attention and realize that he’s generally talking/joking about their current topic

- some observations (this shit is all canon babey!!!) - sokka is great at being a leader and communicating in groups he’s in but he really really struggles in front of crowds, one-on-one and sokka can talk well, joke and stuff but as soon as he’s separate from other people and everyone is just listening he clams up (solar eclipse pt 1). he also loves to joke and make people laugh, and a lot of the time he misinterprets stuff because he’s autistic but he also will realize this and do it anyway because he thinks it’s funny and he likes laughing with his friends (idk if this happens in canon but i do this and sokka does too bc i said so :^). He also takes up the protector/comforting role but despite his best intentions he can sometimes say insensitive stuff and not even realize what he’s done to upset people (when he happily told aang ‘the whole world thinks your dead!’) works best when he feels needed, if he feels unnecessary or like something doesnt matter he struggles to complete it (i feel like the beginning of sokka’s master rlly demonstrates what i mean here), and this goes both ways, he will put too much value into certain things that he cares about and can get his priorities mixed if he’s focused too much on what he believes matters more than what might be most pressing (zuko destroyed his suki sculpture, oh right bc he was attacking aang)

Katara

she also has adhd/autism, (so do both Hakoda and Kya 💙)

[ID: a screenshot of Katara, Hakoda, Sokka, and Bato. Hakoda has his hand on Katara’s shoulder as they both look at Bato who is saying something, she has curious look on her face with her brows raised, while Hakoda looks exasperated. Sokka beside him his also looking curiously up at Bato, with one brow raised and the other furrowed. Bato has a neutral expression on his face as he speaks. End ID.]

- palms sweaty thoughts spaghetti, she tries to be practical bc she thinks someone needs to be but really her brain is like a runaway train, she sees something that needs doing and is like, guess ill do that now! and drops whatever she was doing first. she can get very anxious because of this because all the thing that need doing start to pile up because theyre all in her brain at once. that and as much as she tries to be practical she’s very impulsive, getting help from other people really helps alleviate this stuff

- interacting w ppl, when she was only part of her own smaller community she had a lot less toll on her, bc she knew everyone and was used to them, as she meets more people she gets really frustrated with how many people seem to refuse to say what they really mean. Katara is very straightforward herself and she says what she means, so even tho she gets more and more perceptive when interacting with new people, she resents how much she has to work just to decipher what people really mean half the time.

- caring for ppl, with people she cares about communicating is much easier bc she knows them, so she’s very open about her feelings around these people, and she can be hyper empathetic at times, but then sometimes she will say SUPER insensitive stuff off the cuff because she’s just very impulsive and she might regret it after the fact but she really struggles with apologizing because being wrong makes her feel like ppl are going to reject her

- perceptions, she knows what’s expected of her by the world, but she really rejects the idea that she has to stay in her role. still, she has internalized a lot of these expectations and tries to perform them, even when she sometimes struggles. beyond herself, she’s very certain about what she knows is wrong and has a strong moral code, she sees something wrong and she wants to fix it.

- she’s awful in school, not because she’s not smart, but she’s smart in ways that society does not appreciate. she doesnt care at all about all the worksheets and math she’s never gonna use, and all the history that got distorted, she’s much better at learning stuff on her own and she will go on deep dives of subjects she cares about and is super knowledgeable abt them.

also:

[ID: A cropped screenshot of Sokka with his arms extended outwards, palms flat as he gestures. He has a slight grin on his face with his mouth open to speak, eyebrows raised and looking at the viewer calmly. He’s wearing his usual blue tunic with the Earth Rumble XI belt along with his earth kingdom bag hanging across his chest. The text on the image says, “This post made by ADHD Sokka gang. End ID.]

[ID: a cropped screenshot of Hakoda, he has a serious expression on his face as he looks ahead. The text on the post reads, “This post made by ADHD Hakoda gang.” End ID.]

from this post (part of what inspired me to write these out) @meteor-sword now just katara needs one 😄

adhd aang next, i will finally live up to my url (will edit with a link when i post)

I sometimes wonder if within the Star Wars universe, bringing balance to the force means being able to use both the Light and the Dark without falling 100% into either side. Like, Rey being pulled to the Dark because it has something she needs, but maintaining her moral compass and compassion and urge to do good. idk it always seemed odd that an order all about balance only placed emphasis on one side of the spectrum 1/2

Tho it might just be a misunderstanding on my part. Is the Dark a separate part of the Force that Force-sensitive people can manipulate, different from the Light part? Or is that just what it's called when you use the Force for purely selfish reasons? 2/2

oh my friend you have unleashed such a can of worms i am so sorry please bear with me.

there are two answers to your question, one of which is “what we get from the series so far” and the other one being My Obviously Correct Headcanons And Opinions.

In the past, the Dark Side has been pretty much exclusively categorized as “what happens when you use the Force for purely selfish reasons.” That power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely, so the more you let your anger and resentment and personal need fuel your use of the Force, the more twisted you and it will become. that an act of weakness CREATES a darker seed of weakness within, to be continually exploited.

but that’s always been an inherently unsatisfactory definition--not because of what it implies about corruption, but because of what it identifies as the root of that corruption. it’s been frustrating as far back as Yoda’s lessons on Dagobah, where he told Luke that interfering in order to save his friends would make him vulnerable to the dark side for ???reasons??

It’s wrong to lash out in fear. It’s destructive to let your negative emotions be the sole source of your strength. all of that makes sense.

but where do you draw the line between selfishness and selflessness? Where do you find the boundaries on the spectrum from compassion, to caring, to possessiveness, to obsession?

the OT and PT never really gave us satisfactory answers to these questions--only vague pseudo-buddhist notions about how wanting things will make you miserable and terrible, probably, and that true balance means neutrality. means never having personal investment. and that’s just not how people work. so if we’re going by the idea that that’s the Jedi way, then yeah-- the Jedi do need to end.

but as Luke said-- the idea that the light side of the force will go away if the Jedi Order becomes obsolete is ridiculous.

so where does that leave us, in canon?

well, if the light side of the force stands for life, growth, connection, and peace, then that would seem to imply that the dark side must stand for death, decay, fractured society, and violence. this means that balance of the Force isn’t just some neutral value, because the Force itself isn’t value neutral. the Force isn’t weather--the Force is the collective intention and interconnectedness of all sentient consciousness. you can’t blame a hurricane for killing people because that’s just what hurricanes do. Hurricanes can’t decide. but people DO. and that’s what makes it the Dark Side of the Force--it’s the decisions behind the actions.

and yet.

so much of where the PT failed was that it did such a poor job of showing us what it actually set out to show us: how a good man, Anakin Skywalker, became corrupted by the dark side. what the PT ends up saying is “he wanted to end slavery so much that he became a fascist; he loved his mom and his wife and that made him Terrible.” which-- what the hell kind of lesson is that? We never actually saw that thing click in his head where it suddenly became okay for him to kill younglings. We watched it happen, but I never bought a moment where he gave in, because I never saw how his weaknesses as a good man--how his desire to protect and defend made him selfish and possessive--turn into something outright violent against people who had nothing to do with him. they never sold me on the connection.

but the sequels... they’re doing something different.

the consensus in the OT and PT seemed to be that it’s terrifyingly easy to succumb to the dark side. that you could be minding your own business having friends and wanting good safe things for them and one day you could trip and fall and that would turn you evil. i never vibed with that.

the ST, though... over and over again, what I see it saying is that it’s hard to be evil. It’s hard, and it sucks, and it kills everything good in you. that’s why Finn rejects it; that’s why Kylo Ren is so fucking miserable all the time. but it also demonstrates that there’s something so inherently compelling about using the Force to get what you want that once you’ve gone far enough, the idea of losing it is so incomprehensible you’d do anything--you’d do the worst thing--just to keep it from happening.

(Worth noting: the first Force power Rey ever uses is the Jedi Mind Trick. the first thing out of her mouth when Luke asks her what the Force is is “a way to make people do what you want.”)

it would be the easiest thing in the world for Ben Solo to be the golden boy of the Republic. that life was handed to him on a platter--all he had to do was stay there. all he had to do was take it. even now, Rey is still telling him: the door is open. the life you left behind is right there, waiting for you, needing you, if only you’d be willing to do the work to take it back.

so much of Kylo’s dialogue is talking about how he feels conflict, the pull towards the light, how his only goal is to kill the good in him, kill the past, kill all his ties to his obligation to morality. but it’s a constant fucking struggle for him. you don’t just trip and fall into evil. you have to choose it, every day.

and if that’s true--that tells me so much more about “the dark side” than the other films ever did. it’s not that caring is a curse, because Ben Solo killed his caring a long time ago. it’s that once you’ve had a taste of whatever it is that made Kylo Ren powerful enough to stop a blaster shot in midair and hold it there for five minutes, while carrying on an entire, quite distracting conversation--that once you have that, it digs so deep in you you can’t give it up. it’s a disease, the same way that an addiction is a disease. and with the Force behind it, it has the power to feed itself.

and you’ll never get well from an illness you have no interest in a cure for. so you keep digging deeper into the dark, because even if it’s hard, even if it tears you apart inside, the dark can give you things the light never will. and most of all, it’s convinced you that those are the things you should want.

what i think we might be heading towards--what i would LOVE to see us heading towards-- is the conclusion that we’ve been incorrectly defining the Dark Side this whole time.

if I have a rope, I can use it as a lifeline or as a noose. that doesn’t tell me anything about the rope. it tells me about me.

Evil corrupts. Malice makes you strike first, strike hardest, strike in arbitrary anger. Trauma warps your sense of reality and makes it hard to distinguish between healthy and unhealthy, between acting for for your own survival and actively undermining your own self-interest. Wrath makes you act so that the punishment far outstrips the crime. Jealousy tells you that the things you love belong to you. Hate makes you want to destroy the things you don’t understand. Vengefulness makes you mistake personal satisfaction for justice.

but the Force... I don’t think the Force does any of that. it can be used as a vehicle to get you there faster, but that doesn’t mean that part of the Force is dark and used for dark things only. It means that you MAKE it dark when you USE it for the dark.

Balance means harmony, not discord. the Force in balance needs must tend toward the light not because death is evil and must be avoided at all costs, but because life, uninterrupted until its natural end, is life as life was intended.

death isn’t the dark side. death is the Force in balance.

murder is the dark side, because it’s using the Force for something it was never meant to be used for, on purpose, for wrong, for personal gain. and no wonder it’s powerful, because the Force is always powerful--it’s all life and thought and spirit that exists! but that doesn’t mean the Force wants you to do a certain amount of bad things and the universe would fall apart otherwise. it means the Force needs people to tell the difference, because that’s all the Force has ever been: the interconnectedness of sentience.

the Force doesn’t tell us what to think. we tell it what to think. and the Force doesn’t need murder any more than people do.

*collapses.*

tidus/yuna post x-2 headcanons vol.2

pt. 1

pt. 3

- previously on keeping up with the besaidians: Gippal plays pranks on Tidus . so anyway. Gippal's respect for Tidus and general opinion on the guy improves tenfold when he finds out he's at least somewhat handy with machina (having grown up in the machina city of Zanarkand). kinda like not every one of us is a computer technician but say we were suddenly whisked into a foreign world with basic technology only recently legalized and a general majority of population afraid to use it – we'd have something to contribute. (also this is canonically plausible – see the machina boss battle on the Al Bhed ship in Luca, where Tidus saves the day by pointing out that they can utilize the crane) like I don't see Gippal offering him a job with the Machine Faction anytime soon, more like Tidus travels with Yuna and sometimes they visit Djose and he'll notice something the workers missed (like in some ‘new’ type of machina freshly salvaged from the bottom of the ocean) or maybe even casually fixes something that's everyday in Zanarkand. (Tidus also knows like anyone who's dealt with a computer ever that sometimes they just need a good keyboard-smash. also see proof in canon.)

- Gippal's opinion on Tidus improves hundredfold when he, through small details and tidbits Rikku/Cid/....Brother I guess just kinda casually mention, finds out about his history with them and other Al Bhed starting with his very first day in Spira and how he always defended them and treated them like everyone else (of course there's the fact that he was not brought up a Yevonite and thus never brainwashed to hate them but idk if Gippal cares about nuance all that much. but this is one thing that technically earns Lulu the greater credit! altho they shoulda just told wakka about yuna from the very beginning argh)

- also remind me to draw Gippal & Tidus unlikely brotp/teamup art

- let's talk kids. first I gotta acknowledge @leviathkandy ‘s absolutely amazing headcanon that they might adopt, bc for some reason that never crossed my mind and it's so perfect actually!!! I could very well see some kids orphaned by Sin just kinda starting to hang around them in Besaid (like that cockblocking kid at the campfire that a certain legendary lady obviously sent Yuna's way EXCEPT BETTER. that’s right BETTER. BETTER KIDS.) or maybe they even pick one up on their various travels buuuut point is I could see it happening kinda in a half-accidental/organic fashion? and then developing into a Cloud/Tifa in AC sort of situation without the leaving and terminal illness and angst (sry Cloud you hang in there-bud)

- also here 's some highly hypothetical biological Tuna offspring I drew up

- (in any case all their 25 kids grow up to be amazing and nothing bad ever happens in their lives ever. they always in every situation heed their flawless parents' spot-on advice and respect and adore them 124,7% 24/7. tidus and yuna never age yet grow wiser every-year-and-also-nothing-bad-ever-happens-to-them-either. the end-except-not-bc-they-never-die

- OKAY fine. they do get older. and this silly doodle aside...I kinda see them both retaining their youthful spirits but perhaps in slightly different ways. Tidus of course keeps active well, well beyond middle age and even tho that certainly keeps him vigorous in body & soul, he kinda has a hard time dealing with the inevitable effects of aging and from time to time ends up hurting himself due to constant gross overestimation of his physical condition & capability (I feel like I'm again heavily influenced by if not straight-up copying @leviathkand's post here BUT IT'S TOO REAL THO). whenever this happens, somehow, inexplicably, defying all laws of physics and likelihood Lulu of all people is always there (while Yuna is always far off somewhere, also bafflingly and against all odds). and so the task of providing first aid (= healing incantations... and sometimes just a bandaid/good scolding) falls on her begrudging shoulders. the pattern repeats so often is sorta becomes a running gag between the Besaid gang (except when he gets seriously injured, which happens a couple of times, then no one jokes around except Tidus) also, imagine middle-aged/elderly Lulu. just imagine. if u dare lol.

- Yuna, growing into adulthood, after that teen rebel phase important character development sooorta mellows back into her X personality with added wisdom and outspokenness and attention to her own needs. what I mean with "mellowing" is going back to a more poised and... sophisticated presence, I guess? I feel like I'm wording this all wrong, but yeah. basically a combo of her X and X-2 personas, best of both worlds adsdsaf. however when she's pushing 80-90 she regresses (or evolves???) riiiight back to her spherehunter days and starts spouting stuff like "your plan sucks and so does your face" and "oh poopie" while still somehow being the most elegant and well-spoken woman in the whole wide Spira.

- aaand back to their young and hot selves. there's lots of theories going around about Tidus's identity and origins because of course there would be. literally a nobody out of frekking nowhere who’s somehow both former guardian and s.o. to their beloved High Summoner and a stellar blitzball player to boot? missing for a while? weirdly clueless about mundane everyday stuff yet comfortable with machina? (he’s a sheltered Bikanel-native Al Bhed obvi) some people of course remember him from the pilgrimage but like, did anyone actually pay attention to him back then lol. of course Tidus & Yuna can't just go public with the truth because the story is as bizarre as it is tragic and highly personal to them in many ways too, so they both kinda dance around the subject and make punny inside jokes under their breath that sometimes get quoted as actual answers and the speculation gets wilder.

- however once it comes out that he's actually Sir Jecht's son (idk why I feel either Cid or Brother would let it slip. or maybe Brother is just anonymously calling up tabloids out of jealousy lol) everybody just EXPLODES and forgets about everything else. the power couple's popularity instantly climbs to an all-time high, and it’s all anyone talks about for a good few months and then some. howeverrr Tidus is less than pleased. he may have made his peace with Jecht but is still not quite over the man’s former monstrous alter ego and all the suffering he brought upon Spira (if unwillingly). again, their real story is in large part simply too traumatic and too intimate to share

- they totally re-enacted the laughing scene. you know they did. (obviously on that very same balcony in luca) it was an embarrassing failure tho, as they almost immediately started laughing for real and nobody even batted an eye or noticed anything unusual given that not a day passes by that the two don't have at least one shared giggle fit (and at really random stuff too, like the wind when it's nice) also, they were about 50 when this took place. for the 15th time.

#ffx #ffx-2 #Tidus #yuna #tidus x yuna #ffx meta #ffx-2 meta #too fluffy??#prolly.#but i like to save the angst for fanfiction #also #my stupidest irrational fear is that #one of my headcanons was actually somehow addressed in canon #and I jUSt can'T remembER #mostly only with x-2 #i know ffx by heart and that is not an overstatement #*rewrites resume*

(Pt. 1) Hi same anon here. Thank you for your incredibly detailed response. I didn't mean to sound like I was belittling your own practice - I believed I was a natural witch, from a young age I started worshiping nature and practicing magic but

it wasn’t till I was older I realized what I was doing was called witchcraft so I identified as a witch. I’ve never had amazing things or coincidences happen to me. I’m also a Capricorn rising and I deal with a lot of mental blockage and idk guess I came to the conclusion that witchcraft couldn’t be “real”, because if it was, wouldn’t I be seeing it more often in my daily life? it’s just discouraging because I feel like I’m sabotaging my own faith (I’m mentally ill) and I can’t help my state of mind sometimes… sorry this is all convoluted but I admire how you experience witchcraft and magical happenings in your daily life, because I’ve been trying for years and years and haven’t really had anything happen to me despite what I believe to be a natural affinity for magic and witchcraft that I have… anyways I guess I just wanted to hear what you thought, how you keep going even when magic doesn’t seem to work. In my case for years it didn’t work.

lol SToP!!!!!I am also a Capricorn rising hahahaahaha but like Neptune and Uranus is in my first house so maybe it counter acts the negative hardass Capricorn shit?? Tbh I just figured out my true rising sign like.. yesterday.. and I still don’t know how to process it. lol. I truly thought and identified with Sagittarius rising, it’s like thinking your parents are Lily and James Potter but really your parents were the Dursley’s all along and all of my ugly outer traits were just highlighted by this sign that’s ruled by Saturn I was like NOOOOOOOO but the previous stuff from the last star chart I thought I had is gone so its not such a terrible fucking exchange. (Plus my north node is in the 12th house? How interesting!) Also maybe I identified so much with Sag rising cause I am an Aries Moon Libra Sun and the combination could probably have similarities to that sign.

I deal with mental blockages too, like every year is always a new Episode of some crazy mental battle I have with myself. I really do not know if I am a neurotypical but either once a year I deal with like, my fucking perception of reality shifting (think of it like how in those random cartoon episodes, the drawing animation would suddenly become claymation or like anime, but this is real life, and it’s hard for me to verbalize whats happening around me like I felt like I stepped into an alternate reality, or I am not the same person or I am dissociating so hard), or if it’s not that, my entire mental state goes upside down and there’s a new big bad anxiety in town like a boss fight I have to conquer to proceed and last year it was literally me trying to find my will to live cause my anxiety was so bad I couldn’t even hunt for a job or do literally ANYTHING I would spend weeks in bed like simultaneously exhausted and terrified and now I have finally got my shit together to an extent but still dealing with the fallout of wasting literally an entire year not doing anything and now job hunting is a little more challenging cause employers don’t want to hear those type of excuses haha. BUT ANYWAY-

You need to define what is real in witchcraft cause the majority of things that have happened to me have been eerie coincidences. You might not have noticed it, or just brushed off certain things as coincidences anyway. Also I wrote a personal theory to how I think will, fate and magic works in life and that a lot of magic you want to manifest can not take place without action. Like if you want to travel, save up money and cast a spell and you never know, but the spell might attract an opportunity to you to go someplace nice and the money you saved will help you be able to afford it. I’m unsure how you have been practicing but sometimes some things you want to manifest need some level of action to be taken. One thing that has also influenced the way I think about these things (and I think it really helped me learn how to manifest) was when I was a kid I saw the Matrix and that scene where Neo had to jump over the buildings made a mark on me haha. Everyone falls their first time cause they don’t believe they can make the jump. They get intimidated by the reality around them and don’t realize it’s their mind that shapes it. But as Morpheus said- if you know you can do it, you can do it. Having a belief like ‘this doesn’t exist’ might cut through your actions of trying to manifest something. But just meditate and make yourself know you can and what you want will happen to you. Don’t worry about feeling foolish or anything cause once again this is something personal to you and you can view it as a spiritual thing no one should judge you for, but focus on the idea that you know you have the ability to manifest what you want and the rest will follow.

also once again- not everyone practices magic the same and maybe you just haven’t found your thing that helps you manifest. I have a close witchy friend that is very aligned with fire and just.. burns herbs for spells. lol. And to me it’s like wtf… But observing her it really makes sense. She has made incredible things happen by just burning herbs but I know if I did that I would just feel like I made some nice smelling smoke but that’s it. Maybe you need to find what aligns with you. Blowing things away? Burying? Just pure visualization? Burning shit? Showers and baths? Drinking things? If you feel like you have a natural affinity for magic and witchcraft where is that pulling you towards? What in life makes you feel the most magical? You can literally make ANYTHING into a magical craft. If you like music there is a lot of ways to make listening music into a magical craft. If you like eating, boy is there tons of things for you to do hahaha. This might be TMI but once while on the toilet I thought about someone I deeply could not stand in highschool since they were a toxic cesspool of a person and I thought about banishing them from my life as I took a poo and they never spoke to me or interacted with my circle of friends again and its also my personal reasoning as to why no one can talk shit to other witches about emoji spells cause like if I can make poop magic a thing then it’s really about the witch’s personal power than the means they go to achieve it lmao. (Sorry if that was TMI I am regretting sharing this yet here I am still publishing it). Maybe there is something you want to achieve that you are PUSHING too hard. I notice my magic gets blocked when I am pushing it to be something it isn’t like it flows a certain way and has its own body and it needs to be respected. I kind of lost my touch for a bit when I got into crystals cause I love crystals aesthetically but they really are unhelpful to me magically (I mean another reason is that I am just kind of figuring them out but they still aren’t necessary to my craft), but I easily regain my power when I do energy exercises or visit places that recharge my energy and I don’t stress when doing magic cause stress ruins it for me. If you feel like it’s unnatural though you do feel like you have this natural affinity you are probably pushing yourself the wrong way and you need to figure out a method that really resonates with you!
