this account isnt safe for makeup haters btw. its safe for people who dont like wearing makeup themselves but youre not allowed to hate it when other people choose to wear makeup. its not cool youre not progressive or whatever youre just dunking on something that has a huge historical and cultural impact in both hygiene and art

For the Basic Neglect AU, does Splinter get a "trying to be a better father" arc like in Rise or is he gonna try to do better for a day n a half and then fall into old habits?
💙💙💙
*slams hands on table in an aggressively excited manner*
you have allowed me to rant about a new idea i have and you WILL listen OK SO HERE'S THE DEAL WITH THIS AU.
this AU will be drawing on a lot of my own personal experiences with neglect/abuse!! It's a pretty DIRE AU but its also supposed to be kind of funny in a dark sorta way i guess.
SO SPLINTER RIGHT? SO. I'm gonna level with you anon, he's just gonna be an absolute dogshit father. A bad person, even. and he will never admit it.
the situation is very "I'm not hurting you, I provide everything for you! and if I am hurting you then it's not that bad, and if it IS that bad it's not my fault because parenting isnt fucking easy" in a cyclical way in which he is never to blame.
any attempts he makes to reconcile with his kids have everything to do with what he THINKS a "good parent" should do and NOTHING to do with actually thinking of his kids as people.
so he'll hug Donnie if Donnie is crying, but if Donnie tries to pull away, Splinter won't let him go, even if Donnie REALLY DOESNT WANT TO BE HUGGED RIGHT NOW (<- based on a real event)
He's got no concept of boundaries and sees his children trying to set boundaries as an insult against The Closeness of their Relationship.
he says he doesn't have favorites but he'll always make excuses for Leo's behavior/abuse of his siblings. he doesn't think of himself as a mean person, but he'll laugh if the thing his kids are upset about aren't "serious" enough to warrant their reactions, or he'll be annoyed if they're upset about something he considers trivial.
he gets annoyed at Donnie and Mikey's stimming and often implies or just says his kids are stupid/think stupid things/got what they deserved for acting stupid.
(side note: Mikey is terrified of being "stupid" because Splinter has made it clear that the way to avoid harm is by "not being stupid" and if you're "stupid" then you somehow deserve what happens to you in a really gross victim-blamey way)
The closest thing they have to Family Bonding Time is eating meals together, watching TV/movies together, and training together. Which Splinter always makes worse/more tense whenever he's there because no one knows when it's going to stop being Nice Family Time and start being Splinter Dissecting The Way You Eat Time.
And in their free time he really doesn't give a shit what they do. He doesn't want them going topside for like the first 13 years, but he also doesn't really check up on them until its the end of the day (in which case he doesn't actually put them to bed. he just makes sure they're inside and then locks them all in while he goes to sleep so that they can't get lost or something. he does NOT give them good hygiene/sleeping habits I tell ya waht)
so they start sneaking out to the surface when they're pretty young and he has no idea cause he's "too busy" to watch them all the time. This has led to a lot of small accidents that could've been avoided if the fucking CHILDREN were being WATCHED but WHATEVER.
BASICALLY - he is a BAD DAD in this AU and he should never have had kids.
hope this answers your question :)

lol ok wanted to ask before i sent anything XD uhhh hope this isnt too odd but do you have any domestic/long term relationship/marriage hcs for john? love that scrunkly man, wanna marry him
Cutest ask I’ve ever received for John Doe
-likes to hold your hand when you’re in public
-develops a sort of dependency on you to help remind him to take care of himself such as hygiene even if he doesn’t like to
-Over time became considerate of how he smelled and does his best to clean up and smell decent
-you and doe have date night at least 2 days a month
-always comes to visit you wherever you are; work, a friends house, girls night outing, wherever you are alone. He doesn’t stay too long depending on where you’re at.
-learns to respect your space and gives you time to yourself, he knows deep down you can’t always be by his side
-will definitely talk about having children unless you’ve already made it clear you didn’t want children
-before you or he leaves anywhere, always has to give you a kiss and a “Stay safe my love, call me if anything is wrong”
-100% very protective of you, will not hesitate to beat some ass if anyone even gives an ounce of disrespect towards you
-If you two get married, he loves it when he sees you wearing your ring, he sees it all the time but he can’t help but think back to when you two got married. It makes him feel all fuzzy inside
-you do the cooking, he does the cleaning…he tries his best to clean and anything else he can to help you with
-loves the simple moments between you two such as just eating breakfast on a Monday morning before you have to leave to work
-Always remembers your anniversary when you first started dating/ you got married/ BOTH of these things!
-Goes all out on holidays, will treat you to a nice dinner, desert, gifts, and maybe a little extra desert later 😏
-His favorite part of the day becomes the morning, he wakes up early to get some of your errands done before eventually coaxing you to wake up
-He’ll let you slowly wake up and help you make breakfast or go out for breakfast and bring it back home, afterwards the two of you will enjoy the rest of the morning spending time either reading, watching tv, or just sipping some coffee or tea while you two talk
-Especially loves talking to you and asking you how your day was, listening as you tell him what’s been going on and any other tea you have about what’s been happening in your friend group
((I hope you liked this! This was really fun to think about!

Wait I really do feel bad for this sensitive yan they really do live like college at the end of the month, if I may ask what did they do for living? Beside y'know stalking us maybe he do some it stuff or doing other college student assignment ( I forgot what they called ) maybe he can do the onlyfans lol
sensitive yan would be great at onlyfans tbh but would hate it if they knew they weren't preforming for you, since they view everyone else as, well, trash! they couldn't care less if everyone else just died on the spot, leaving you and them alone together <3 however, they've worked this scenario through their head and decided it wouldn't be the best idea because then what would happen if you got sick? or if the clean water ran out? what about food? or other stuff? the thought that they physically will never be able to survive long with you if everyone else died was very frustrating but that doesn't stop them from occasionally fantasizing about finally being able to give you a life of luxury because, well, they can just steal it!
as for how they make money... it depends! since my little "ocs" are just blank slates for y'all to project your characters onto, i don't wanna make up specific backstories buuuuut.... let's say they don't really make money! they hide out in a fairly shitty apartment building, they had to steal their electronics, got their mattress from a dumpster, really, the only thing they own is to get them closer to you!! luckily, they know (or you made it clear) that being stinky and having poor hygiene isnt the way to your heart so they make sure to stay clean <3 other than that? idk!
they could have a bit of inheritance money that they rarely ever touch and don't forget, they sold most of their furniture and appliances! that'll last em a lil while. maybe the owner of the building is a friend and let's them stay rent free or the housewife yandere occasionally gives em money to fuel their obsession! the possibilities are endless! but if you're wondering if they have a job, id say no but if that doesn't fit your fantasy then yes!
whatever darling needs or wants, they'll do it! <3

my jjba skincare headcanons . i just need to archive this somewhere
jonathan: breaks out so bad. he found a bottle of face cleanser he found cute at cvs and he uses it everyday and is very diligent about it even if it is just one step. and he is like. he is so enamored. he loves it he thinks he is so cute for doing this
dio: 15 step skin care queen. he knows most of the steps are useless and that his routine is way overcomplicated, but he just loves the feeling of control. and self worship. and he hates jonathans cute little cleanser that he uses only once a day that functions perfectly so so much.
joseph: in his youth he didnt care much for it, in fact he mightve thought it was like. stupid or something. but caesar opened up the world of skincare to him. and while he still decided it wasnt really necessary, as he grew older he remembered what caeser did and talked to him about , and as a way to “preserve his looks” he does skincare now. He grooms himself. You know. Takes care of his nails and such. maybe like after caeser died he started taking care of himself more in general. just a thought
caeser: lovely, lovely skin. naturally. but he is quite well versed in the realm of skincare (this is to assume skincare was as it is now in like. the 1930s. which it wasnt but bear with me) he is just concerned with his appearance a fair amount. in general. thats okay
jotaro: does not fucking care. does not do a thing. dry shaves sometimes. in fact he like doesnt shower sometimes you know. i mean he cares about his hygiene quite a bit and like if he smells or something he’ll shower etc etc quite normal behavior but he just doesnt even know. yet somehow his skin is so flawless. so effervescent. beautiful. but believable. if anything, he washes his face with hand soap. and perhaps deep deep down he thinks it isnt manly of him to practice skin care. like esp during his transmed era. but he would never admit that to himself. After meeting kakyoin that changed . kakyoin was like Oh jotaro, your skin is so beautiful already. You dont need a thing, im jealous! Haha! and he was like ok. actually scratch that he may have tried it for a bit lololo idk about when he gets older though TBH like i dont have the power to think about it this is taking so much out of me in a way. like this is so vulnerable
kakyoin: quite knowledgable on it. i think you know hes read books with skincare related information and he isnt opposed to the idea. he went to a dermatologist to get the proper prescription for his face but even then he doesnt have that bad of acne. just quite simple. a cleanser and then a cream twice a day. it works like a charm. he loves it. he loves washing his face and such. at dawn and at dusk. has talked to jotaro about it. was so shocked to hear what jotaro does. was so shocked to not see even a hint of jotaros carelessness shown on his face. yeah
polnareff: hes so stupid about it he thinks its like science because of the serums. and hes so shocked and amazed and hes like ISNT THAT FOR GIRLS…..? *JAW DROP
avdol: i think he takes to more natural remedies like putting avocado on your face or brown sugar and honey on your back. very smart about it. in fact jotaro has pretty bad bacne so like he does that too he learned it from avdol. because they have talked about skincare. becayse all of the jojo characters have talked about skincare in my world. in my dream world. avdol also focuses on what he eats to keep his skin clear. eating bell peppers and carrots and such.
josuke: literally so obsessed. hes like the skincare queen. like he knows so much he hates the fact that jotaro doesnt care. hes like You are so fucking stupid. i think he is also very very knowledgeable on skincare. the science behind it. its like an obsession. like hes so proud
giorno: very casual about it he has like acne . like a normal face. he doesnt really care . uses his skincare products every once and a while. idk. More focused on other things.
jolyne: shes like her dad she has flawless skin but like she gets small blackheads sometimes and she loves pinching them out and it scabs her face and she s like insane

Hey so I know we don't usually make posts about like, serious topics, but once again I was reminded that Sex isnt a well-discussed topic among some groups and I've got a decent following so I'm gonna cover the basics here really quick
Consent is 100% required in literally every situation ever. Even outside of sex but especially before, during, and after
Consent MUST be clear in all circumstances, must be 100% natural (not coerced or forced in any way) and CAN ALWAYS BE REVOKED AT ANY POINT IN TIME FOR ANY REASON WITHOUT WARNING. A half asleep "mhm" is not consent. "Yeah i guess" is not consent. "Sure" is not necessarily consent (but combined with other factors may be).
Any time drugs or alcohol are involved, there is no consent. You cannot give consent while intoxicated. You might not regret it, but legally speaking if that was taken to court the other party would be charged with rape because you cannot give consent while intoxicated. This is not like, me being a super nit-picky person. Legally speaking, in all of America, you cannot give consent while intoxicated or inebriated.
Plans should (in most cases) be discussed beforehand, and ground rules laid out. If plans change all parties must be aware of the change. At all times. This can be anything from wanting to stop early to introducing a kink element that wasnt previously discussed. The reason I say in most cases is because you dont always have to make a play by play if all you're doing is vanilla, but your partner should be aware that is what is going on. They should not be surprised when you bring out a waxplay candle. You should not bring a third party in if that was not previously discussed.
Please for the love of god use basic hygiene. I do not want to ever hear again that some people don't wash their hands/shower before sex. That is fucking gross. For starters because your body is sweaty and nasty, but also because it can cause infections. Yes, even if you're just fingering someone. Your hands are fucking disgusting. Wash them.
Once again, to make it very fucking clear, IF AT ANY POINT IN TIME YOU WANT TO REVOKE CONSENT, YOU ARE WELCOME AND ENCOURAGED TO DO SO. THE OTHER PARTY HAS AN OBLIGATION TO RESPECT THAT. YOU ARE NOT A BAD PERSON FOR WANTING TO STOP. YOU ARE NOT A BAD PERSON FOR CHANGING YOUR MIND. YOU ARE EXERCISING YOUR RIGHTS OVER YOUR OWN BODY AND IF THEY DO NOT RESPECT THAT YOU ARE 100% WITHIN YOUR RIGHT TO REMOVE THEM FROM YOU/REMOVE YOURSELF FROM THE SITUATION.
If you are doing kinkplay, it needs to be discussed. If you are doing bondage, you need to have a longer talk. Under no circumstances should you leave your bound partner alone in the room, especially not if you plan to be in a location where you would not be able to hear them if they needed assistance. If your partner is bound to the bed and cannot free themselves, you should not leave to go to the other side of the house.
You may think this is all common sense but I just found out through a few different friends that every single point here was violated at some point by one or more of their previous partners. That is not okay. I can maybe understand the hygiene one, because people dont realize just how gross that is, but the other 5 points are literally the difference between consensual sex and rape (excluding number 7 which is simply a huge safety hazard).

it is literally insane how the severity of mental illness is negatively correlated with the amount of sympathy people are willing to extend you. like my one ex friend gets angry about people saying depression isnt an excuse to neglect hygiene meanwhile he has publicly called me delusional and crazy as well as saying i had “psychotic break” as if it were a character flaw (to be clear i did not have a psychotic break lol) and that it “tore apart my friend group”

um sorry this is really heavy and i feel kinda pathetic asking for advice on here (was gonna ask friends for advice when i see them later today but its feeling so desperate i need to do something about this like Now)
ive been taking pictures of my roommates cats litterbox all week and now i think its confirmed im not crazy or underestimating how much cats poop in a day as someone whos never lived with cats before, she really hasnt scooped the litterbox in at least a week. and based on what it looks like i dont think this is the first time its been like this since i moved in
so obviously its my responsibility to step up and not be complicit in neglecting this cat
but i dont know its like kind of clear my roommates maybe really stressed with work and stuff and has mental health issues leading to this and other hygiene issues with her not doing dishes for a month now. which obviously isnt an excuse theres basically always factors like that. but i want to give her a chance to try to snap out of it a bit and expend the extra effort to make things better or like support her a bit even though i dont know her well so that she can work up to being better about things again. and then only if that fails taking more drastic action (which i dont even know what that would be im opposed to calling cops and she never has friends around in person just on call during video games so i couldnt talk to them to try to get more people in her life shes closer to pressuring her to either do better or give up her cat) and obviously to kickstart giving her a chance to do better i need to directly talk to her about it. and we have very different schedules and while at this point im not opposed to doing it by text, shes ignored texts before when she left without saying and i even just asked how to take care of her cat, she is home right now so i want to take this opportunity to talk to her
but i literally just dont know the best way to approach this. but i need to do it i cant just sit back and wait now that im so sure of this. and i could just start scooping the litterbox every day myself and i will do that if she doesnt start after we talk. but i do want to talk first today and have the evidence there so she cant try to deny it like she has with other things
so god yeah. i dont know im feeling so pathetically socially inept i literally just Need to do this but does anyone have advice about how the fuck to even approach and word this today

i think people cant rlly put a concrete line of "does society benefit people who have sex over those who dont" because, as we know sex in the modern times and before has literally never been a secular concept, sex is treated wildly different in Every Single region or place in the world and is often one of the most ritualized concepts in human cultures, by all means, you cant say people who engage in recreational sex are benefitted the same way people who only use sex as a procreation act, because they really arent once you look into it for more than 10 minutes.
By all means the general notion in most places in the world is that sex is a procreation act first and foremost and all other acts with it should be highly scrutinized by a bunch of particular rules or prejudices regarding how, when and with who it should be with, this isnt to say that seeing it this way is inherently a punishing way to see sex, as i said, it is part of us to ritualize certain acts based on historical events, hygienic motivation and religious concepts and so on.
Even the image of an cishet older man who gets constant sexual gratification up until death is seen as someone who must be: able to provide monetarily on the very least as to maintain a status, be stationary, is probably not emotionally mature, probably has a miriad of problems he is never willing to expose, can be health wise, can be mental wise, can be other thing. The expectation that sex cannot ever be in hand with "true" affection or emotional fullfillment unless it conceives a family and never tackled again affects literally anyone ever.
People lumping sexual coercion/manipulation/abuse as something inherent to courtship is what muddles people´s view of sexuality in the first place, these acts are really just other manifestations of violence and the act of overpowering one individual or more for your own sake, whether people ritualize them or not (and any family is capable of ritualizing any sort of abnormal behavior) is not meaning that they are actual Parts of what makes sex, Sex itself.
You cannot manifest sex as clear hierarchical category, because it is more like, a tool, like a stick, every one is gonna see the stick differently, whether is a punishment tool, a guidance tool or something just to burn, the stick doesnt have an inherent meaning as much as it is just a natural part of the reality and its meaning is adaptable to the needs.
You cannot talk about sex in a "secular" way because the majority of the world is gonna talk about it different ways, it is impossible to pin down, and it doesnt help that a grand miriad of cultures have a certain role/caste/type of person who are literally described as "those who dont engage in sex" either for spiritual or other reasons, even just like, work ethic wise, and their perceived hierarchy in a social scale vastly differs in each one depending of the culture, their gender, or lineage.
This is what mostly bothers me about discussions around sex coming from a very sensationalized and scandalized and Americanized treatment of sex that really has just festered from people taking what they see in movies or books to face value as things that people just do just because and completely ignoring religion or culture or the politics in their state or such.

Sinedd’s canon design vs my fanon design
Tumblr media
(god tumblr killed the quality)
explaining my headcanon design(as the name suggests, these are just my headcanons.):
-not chiseled(I MISSPELLED IT): i always found the chiseled jawlines weird tbh? like they’re 16 years old and i’ve never seen a 16 year old with a chiseled jaw. just a personal preference
-longer hair: i always found the idea of someone adapting depending on the culture theyre participating in interesting. What does this have to do with the longer hair? well, i believe that in the Shadows culture, the men are traditionally the ones who have longer hair, so Sinedd let his hair grow out a little(i headcanon Sinedd as trans so its him wanting to look more traditionally masc)
-yellowish, slightly fucked up teeth: neglected children usually have a harder time with self care and hygiene. dont worry his teeth arent that bad,theyre just a little yellow
-eyeliner: another Shadows thing. yknow how the shadows have the black thing around their eyes? i could never figure out what that was lol. at first i thought it was makeup but now i just think its markings (cuz i dont think EVERY SINGLE shadow would wear makeup). but i just wanted sinedd to stand out more clearly as A Shadows Player so i gave him something akin to it. so ig the shadows convinced him to put on some makeup because no, its not just a girl thing. he was against it at first but as time went on he started putting it on heavier and heavier because he realized it looked Very Gender ™ . now u cant see him without it
-cross: OH BOY projecting religious trauma onto characters in a universe where it isnt even clear if it exists! my favorite! nah but fr tho i listened to “Irreverent Girl” by weevildoing one time and was like: yea this is sinedd, he has religious trauma now i’ve decided. On my GF religion post someone said Dame Simbai said “for pete’s sake” аt one point, so christianity exists in the universe! its a valid point. the only explanation i have is Sinedds orphanage was lowkey a christian cult and the cross was important to him(maybe it was from his parents so he couldnt let go of it?). u might be wondering what this even changes. it affects the trans headcanon (discrimination) and is just projection. let me live
-not shown in the pic: i just think having a physical representation of the smogs negative effects on sinedd would be neat(while sinedd is being irresponsible with it, aka the entire series minus s3 because that plot point was dropped). i dunno what it would be though. i believe the novelization mentioned the smog running through Artegors veins at one point,and while thats obviously supposed to be symbolic, i honestly think it would be cool if non-shadows using the smog irresponsibly would just....have black stuff running through their fucking veins. like sir i dont think thats healthy. and just generally looking paler the longer they use it. if anyone has any ideas about it let me know i would love to hear them(along with peoples general headcanons!)
thats it lol its half just self indulgent bullshit and half actual design ideas because of worldbuilding. the perfect balance. again if anyone has any headcanons i would love to hear em 👀 👂

Tumblr media
So whats basically going on in the ad is we have a giant word in bold that spells out D,C and K.Theres a gap between the D and C for the viewer to fill in.Right under the bold letters there is a small line saying”Nope.Its just a duck.”The people or the company that made this ad is a hygiene/Cleaning company called clear,in this specific ad they are trying to sell a shampoo bottle.There really isnt that much artsy aspects to this ad.It is very plain as it is.The only bright thing that brings it to life is the colors on the shampoo and the big bold letters.But its the whole point of this ad to draw you in with those letters.
The reason behind why the letters are so bold is to draw the eyes of people.The ideology behind it is explosif attention.Your walking by and you see something like this in the streets,itll catch you off guard.There are only so many words that have that composition of D_CK.If your clean or non dirty minded youll get on with your day guessing duck, dock or deck but for the high majority youll be guessin the genetalia of a male.
I find this ad to be really smart because nowadays ads are everywhere and they all look the same.There isnt really diversity.Some overdo it and some underdo it.But this ad did just enough to get that common Joe’s attention.The target audience is people who either saw this ad because their mind got the best of them or just people who want to be clean and keep up with their hygiene.My personnal reaction when first seeing this ad was just hilarious.I was searching and this one out of all of them just made me laugh and caught my attention so it shows that it works.

Little Ways They Show Their Love
LUCIFER
- Whenever he makes coffee for himself, he always makes some for you, and makes sure its exactly the way you like it. (If you like hot chocolate or tea he takes the time to make it too)
- He makes sure at least one corner of his desk is always clear, so if hes working and you're just popping in, you can sit there for a moment (if its more than give minutes, he expects you to come sit on his lap instead)
- Likes to help you put your shoes on. Idk why. He just does.
MAMMON
- Hes a bit of a himbo, so instead of using a dryer, when you go into the shower, he keeps your clothes warm by stuffing them under his shirt
- He loves to do origami, and will frequently leave notes for you in the form of paper cranes
- He makes sure he wears a hoodie whemever possible so when you sleep you can have something comfy that smells like him, even if hes sleeping with you.
LEVI
- Makes sure whenever hes running low on his snack stock, that your favourite snack is the priority to restock
- He always taps in morse code, I love you, whenever his tail or hand is in contact with you
- Made sure to learn how to game even if you koala on him, so you can both enjoy yourselves
SATAN
- He always, and I mean ALWAYS holds the door open for you. If youre anything like me, it turns into a friendly competition-
- Makes sure whenever you may be late for dinner to serve you a plate and hide it in his room to protect it from Beel until you come home, so its still warm.
- He absolutely does The Slow Blink as a form of affection, but wont realize it until you do it back.
ASMO
- He keeps a close tab on your hygiene and self care products, so that you never have to worry about running out.
- He figures out your favourite scent that helps relax you, so he'll use small drops of oil to make himself smell like that as well as your pillows etc.
- Patches up your clothes when needed, and always makes sure that throughout the day hes complimenting you on little things that help build your confidence. I could write SO much for Asmo, I love him so much
BEEL
- He always makes sure you have a seat at the table before him so he can push your chair in
- If he thinks you're cold he kinda just flops on you with an open sweater before zipping you up in it with him fbdjdvsj
- Makes the sheets feel extra soft
- Makes sure to carry a pack of gum everywhere, so if he ate something that isnt yummy to you, he can counteract it a bit before kissing you
BELPHIE
- Always beats the bed out, so there are no crumbs or anything, as well as fluffs your pillows
- He always makes the sheets feel extra soft, the mattress perfect for your preferences
- Desperately tries to have late night convos out of love for you but hes trying really hard to not pass out so some of his responses may make no sense
DIAVOLO
- Ok, what he considers small and what actually is small are two different stories. These are actual small things, like using his own body to warm up the bed so its cozy
- Lets you put your cold hands/feet against him even though he lowkey hates it so he can warm you up
- Always had an arm around you, or a wing. He likes to keep you close as a reminder he'll always be there for you
BARBATOS
- Lets you taste whatever tea hes set up, especially if you havent had it before, even if hes in the middle of serving nobles.
- Gives you gossip before he gives it to Asmo, lmao thats true love right there
- Always makes sure nobody speaks over you, your voice is always heard
MEPHISTOPHELES
- Extra cautious around puddles, so he'll never let you step in one
- He sometimes makes up disguises, so he'll show off his new "character" to you before anyone else
- He hides inside jokes in his reports, then watches you read them to see if you can find it and see your face when you do
SIMEON
- Traces "I love you" in calligraphy against your palm
- Folds your clothes for you (he finds it oddly therapeutic)
- Also always makes sure your bed is made. Finds making it also somewhat therapeutic because he knows you'll be able to sleep comfortably
LUKE
- he likes making "coupons" for you, but its a win win situation because usually youre getting something out of hanging out with him- like baking together, likely means you'll have a slice of cake to eat at the end, and he gets time with you :3
- always makes sure he has the ingredients for your favourite dessert, so he can make it whenever you're available
- Makes sure that whenever he goes to a playground its not one with sand
Thats the way kids show love man, sandy playgrounds my beloathed
RAPHAEL
- I still know jackshit about Raph, so lets try this. If he knows a certain environment is going to be too loud, he makes sure to cover your ears
- He will also "steer" you, whether its away from danger, from a temptation like Spending On That Thing You Dont Need, or from the brothers
- only lets you see his big smile
THIRTEEN
- Its in the way shes always behind you, literally and figuratively. Shes a little goofy about it, but its just an instinct to protect you.
- She will tickle you on occasion ,just to hear you laugh
- She always makes sure your toothbrush is not frayed. Idk why, I just get the vibes lmao
SOLOMON
- He likes to make sure your chair is always comfortable, though will intentionally make it uncomfy sometimes so youll come sit on him instead
- He makes sure your towel is always warm for you out of the shower
- You're the first one he shares new successful spells and potions with
Mmmmk brain kind of died, hope this was ok, baiii

witchy tips for witches with depression <3
I've been struggling with depression for some time now and I've been having a lot of issues practicing my craft since the lack of energy and motivation, so I decided to compile a list of simple routine things you can try to add to your daily life to get you back on the craft and maybe make you feel better :]
theres no instant cure to depression but there are ways to make it a little less bad, and little by little get you back on your feet !! these may not work for everyone as I am writing down things that work for me and just simple ways I use to incorporate the craft into my daily life. please please please also seek prefessional help if you're able to !! talk to friends and family, you're loved and cared for !! google depression self help tips for more tips, I know most of them may sound dumb or trivial or useless but it is so worth a shot adhering to them for some time, maybe you will notice an increase in your mood :D
1. veiling
when I go out, I wear a scarf on my head to protect my energy or keep me in a good mood, depending on the days activity. you can wear a scarf around the house or go out with it and putting one on also works for a bad hair day (read: haven't washed hair in a week) ;D
just cleanse the scarf by maybe shaking the unwanted energies out of it or with incense or with whatever you see the best and bless the scarf with your intentions for the day :D
2. cleansing
if you have a hard time taking care of your hygiene ( it's okay I promise, it can be very exhausting :/ ), try getting some baby wipes on your bedside table and when you wake up / before you go to bed, wipe your face, armpits, feet etc. with the wipe and with the intention of cleansing. it's quick and very easy and I promise that it's worth it, you'll feel a lot more fresh afterwards. you can do the same with washing in general ! if you take a shower imagine the bad thoughts and depressive energy go down the drain in a black/gray/brown stream of dark water !! you'll feel a lot more fresh and maybe a bit clear-headed even :)
3. tea magick
while getting your cup of tea / coffee, stir your days intentions into the drink or do this:
stir clockwise thrice to bring positivity, stir counterclockwise to let out negative energy in your next three sighs and then seal the spell to let the sadness repel.
I recommend black tea or white tea or chamomile tea and add some honey / sugar to sweeten the deal !!
4. shadow work
I know that one of the last things you might want to do is dwelve deep into your feelings but it really will be useful in the long run. if you feel yourself getting upset or your mood suddenly dropping, try getting to the bottom of it; what triggered the emotional reaction? take a deep breath, relax into your feelings as they are in that moment and be honest with yourself. observe them without judgment and try to find out where they came from and how to solve the conflict.
here's some prompts and questions you can try asking yourself:
how did you feel ( more accurately than just upset; were you angry, jealous, sad, lonely etc.) ?
is there something you can do right now to solve it ?
how could you handle this situation in a healthy way? eg. try to come up with healthy coping mechanisms.
how can you maybe prevent this in the future?
try the court trial thought challenging technique. if these thoughts or this situation was a court case, which side would win? imagine yourself as the defense attorney. you need to gather 100% foolproof evidence you have siding with the negative thought and then defend it against the undermining counterpart. it's kind of a pros and cons type of list but you adopt the viewpoint of an outside viewer to get a clearer and more realistic view of the situation. this thought process can help you realize that some negative thoughts aren't truthful and help you let them go. you can Google "the court trial cbt" for more on this technique :D !!
5. studying the craft
we're all individuals and we react differently to bad states of mind but what I do often is distract myself by being on my phone and I know ( I hope so, at least ) I'm not alone in this. as a witch, you're always developing and learning new things, was it about learning different kinds of ways to practice your craft or getting to know other practices or maybe reading a guide how to grow your own herbs ! point is, if you're gonna distract yourself, you could try reading ebooks or articles or even tumblr posts about things that interest you !
maybe try making a list of subjects, topics and practices that interest you and set a goal for yourself to read at least about 3 subjects on the list per day !!
6. making pinterest boards / planning
this isnt directly magick but I think it does count as practicing your craft. make mood boards for the next full moon, come up with spells, make pinterest boards about cool things that interest you or maybe start planning for the next sabbath ! just have fun with it, maybe colour coordinate your pin boards or arrange them by season !
7. go out for walks
it is so so so important to try to adhere to some routines. a big part of managing depression is taking care that you get enough sleep, eat enough and do fulfilling, nice and healthy things. go outside and try to look for rocks or crystals from the nature ? or try foraging ! or maybe go for a walk during sunset/sunrise and admire the beautiful sky and clouds ! ANY reason to peep your nose out of the house is a good reason. maybe go meditate to the nearest park ? or try yoga !!
8. interests and passions and things you loved to do
I know that it might be hard to find joy in the things that you used to like doing but you should try to do at least one thing that you used to love doing for 10 minutes every day ! incorporate a little witchcraft into it too if you want to !
draw or paint a sigil and maybe colour it
sing your favourite song with intent that matches the lyrics
try freestyling with any instrument you play and let your intuition guide you with the chords and notes that come out ! you can try also making small melodies that correspond to different intents and use them for cleasing or happiness or protection !!
bake or cook something you've always wanted to try ! look up the ingredients' correspondences and cook with desired intents !
please know that you're not alone !! my dms are always open if you want tips or just someone to talk to, too :) you don't need to do all of these but maybe try taking some inspo and adjust it to your life and surroundings and daily life and come up with ways of your own, it's your craft after all !!
