replaying the clip of Cleo saying "etho doesn't take himself seriously at all, but he takes other people seriously. That's part of his charm" over and over again in my head. It's so clarifying to me

Soap: Why the gloves?
Ghost: To hide my hands.
Soap: Thanks Mr. Obvious.
Ghost: You asked and received an answer.
Soap gently holding Ghost's hand in his: Can I take it off?
Ghost: If ya that curious I suppose you can.
Soap takes off the glove with cautious fingers
Soap: Those are-
Ghost: I keep on pressing my nails into my skin if I get agitated.
Soap: The scars are so... deep.
Ghost: Well, the gloves are not a fashion statement, Johnny.
Johnny raises up his hands and presses a kiss onto Ghost's palm
Soap: I love you, Simon.

Doctors keep their scalpels and other instruments handy, for emergencies. Keep your philosophy ready too—ready to understand heaven and earth. […] And not to think of philosophy as your instructor, but as the sponge and egg white that relieve ophthalmia—as a soothing ointment, a warm lotion.
— Marcus Aurelius, Meditations (trans. Gregory Hays)

ok this is prolly a Dumbass question. but a lot of witchcraft ppl seem to use plants like datura, belladona, aconite, for their psychoactive properties in witchcraft- Are there any witchcraft people that just skip the whole plant foraging/gardening/obtaining bit and decide to just do shrooms or acid, or benadryl/dph i guess if one happens to just like deleriants? dph is rlly bad for health (is so bad) but tbh so is datura,.. though dph you can usually get at a convenince store. Or is it not considered spiritual if it’s a synthetic?
(I dont mean this to be offensive btw i think occult things r cool and im faded than a hoe rn. Coolio blog)
I'm sure there are practitioners who attempt to undergo Poison Path work using only synthetic drugs, but I don't really know anything about that, and so I can't speak to it very well.
I do, however, believe that working with the spirits of plants is at least as important to the process of such work as the psychoactive effects. I can grasp working with the spirit of Belladonna, but I have a much harder time envisioning myself trying to work with the spirit of a drugstore antihistamine. I also believe it's meaningful that many entheogenic plants (such as ones you listed here, including Psilocybin Mushrooms) have a longstanding traditional record of religious/cultic usage by initiated masters in their respective cultures. For these reasons, among others, I would not consider using synthetic, storebought drugs.
I also think there is a big difference between someone who messes around with party drugs and likes the idea of trying to get a bit spiritual with it, and someone who conscientiously dedicates themselves to Poison Path work. Altered brain chemistry can help the mind to see past certain filters and preconceptions, and it can also help one to look inward, but if there isn't a thoughtful, purposeful, and spiritual framework behind using an entheogenic substance, then it seems likely that it's mostly about getting high.
Finally, I want to add that, while substances such as datura are definitely dangerous, they are often used with far more reverence, caution, and frugality when approached by a serious practitioner. My husband is Oathbound to the Tutelary Spirit of Datura, but only once, under extraordinary circumstances, has that included using the plant entheogenically. He undertook the ritual with fearful respect and the utmost care, and it was an extremely meaningful experience for him, but it's not one he's likely to undertake again anytime soon. As he puts it, "She is a harsh teacher." I think part of the reason so many of these plants (particularly poisonous varieties of Ranunculaceae and Solanacea) are as harsh as they are is because they demand commitment and humility (along with self-defense, of course), which is why you pretty much hear only horror stories from most folks who attempt to use such substances lightly.

what happens if Johnny and Simon both have to leave the apartment? How will they keep reader safely tucked away at home without either of them there, especially in those first weeks after they abduct her?
see this is a difficult one, cause they’d avoid leaving you alone for as long as they possibly could (at least, until you're trustworthy).
if they’re only going out for a few hours, or even a full day, then they might leave you in a cage with enough food and water to stay (mostly) comfortable. they'd be so nice when they came back, praising you and maybe even giving you a treat for being "good" (despite the fact that you couldn't have been bad if you'd wanted - they're working on positive reinforcement).
but if they had to go on a mission/leave for several days or smth? they’d want you to be able to eat and go to the bathroom and all that jazz, so they’d have to get a little creative. they’d probably leave you chained up somewhere. give you an extra long chain (not too heavy though) and secure it to a point in the apartment that lets you move to each room with relative ease. they'd lock it onto a collar around your throat, test it thoroughly to make sure the collar wasn't coming off and the chain wouldn't come unhooked from either end.
and they'd be so happy when they got home, to see you curled up and waiting for them (naked, because they'd locked the closets and dressers so you'd have nothing to wear - just an extra deterrent to keep you from leaving). maybe you spent a while pulling endlessly at the chain and the collar to try and get one of them off, and when they see the redness and sensitivity on your throat they're so softly angry. johnny would be kissing the hurt area, asking you why you'd do that to yourself and murmuring soft apologies for having been gone so long. simon would rub bruise ointment around your neck, scold you quietly for being so stupid, trying to hurt yourself to get away from them.

“Why aren’t you up yet? We need to leave in ten minutes.”
Eddie pillows an arm behind his head and stretches out like a cat. “Because I don’t take four years to get ready, princess. Just gotta get up,” he says, ticking off the words on his fingers, “chug a bottle of water while I take a piss, brush my teeth get dressed and boom! We’re golden.”
“I’m sorry,” Steve interrupts, his face going all deliciously frowny and annoyed. “You— what?”
“What?”
“That’s disgusting!”
“It’s efficient!”
“You’re a gremlin.”
“Mm, yes, but a hydrated one.”

Since a little while after the dry eye started, Tristan has been squinting into the camera. I assume it's focusing/range-finding lasers that bother him a little more than he's used to.
I often deal with "don't want to look at camera" by asking dogs to look at me, instead. But Tristan is too much of a pro to look away. He knows what this is about, and he is GOING to do his job, thankyouverymuch. I am wondering if there's some way to relieve the lights in his eyes while still getting pictures in focus.
Let's all let him know, though: TRISTAN HAS MASTERED BEING THE BEST. Tristan buddy, you are the Best Boy Ever. You don't need to hurt your eyes, buddy, I promise.

that guy really likes and is good at sounding authoritative, except he keeps on deciding to use that tool to make "informational posts" about things he barely has a surface-level understanding of- or, sometimes, is just straight-up lying about because he doesn't think anyone will notice. funny and interesting and charming but i just cannot ever trust that he actually knows what he's talking about.

These are going to figure into a much longer meta post I’m writing about Tie That Binds, but that’s later and I can’t stop thinking about them NOW, so they get their own post to help me spread the brainrot around
