#or at least threaten it idk

[bog-horse]

anyway my issue with a lot of other helpols (which just makes me avoid the larger community and do my own thing in my corner) is that a lot of them are recon (which is fine!!!) but i am inherently informal and weird as shit in my practice. i call hades and hestia my spiritual dad/mom, hermes gets donuts as offerings when i’m trying to get to class on time and avoid traffic, i once asked artemis to keep deer from jumping out in front of my car on a road trip home with an offering of granola/sports bars. when people get too formal with the gods and pull out the titles, i usually bail bc it makes me uncomfortable. my relationship with my deities is extremely deep and connected, and it’s not that people who have more formal relationships with them can’t also have those, but it’s that if i called hades “lord hades” with any seriousness, he’d hit me with a rock, basically.

i don’t judge other people for their practices or more formal relationships bc honestly, it’s between you and your gods, but like… my go-to offering is the pomegranate brookside dark chocolates, and yes. sometimes i eat them out of my offering dishes the next day.

#i feel like recons are a lot more uhhh #noticeable on this platform? or maybe there really are just more of them #but i feel like us gremlin freaks aren’t very common on here #or maybe we just don’t get many posts bc people don’t relate as much or we don’t do the whole lists of offerings/altar ideas/prayers/etc #my list of offerings for hades won’t work for most people bc he’s very specific in how he reaches out to me #i have a severe aversion to mint. a lot of people put mint in their hades offerings and i know why #but i genuinely hate mint anywhere near me so i can’t use those #so i just don’t bother with a lot of offering lists and making them myself feels like letting people into my underwear drawer? like. that’s #between me and Him‚ basically. although that’s not to imply godspousing or anything i’m just using it as an easy example people will #understand. but yeah idk #i avoid a lot of the helpol community because i don’t feel like i fit in well #i am not recon and never will be bc it doesn’t vibe with my personality or lifestyle #i show my devotation in other ways‚ but those aren’t as easy to post online or share #and i don’t really want to share them either‚ soooo ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #pagan stuff #bones.txt #zeus gets titles when i work with him tho. i know he’s usually in good humor and the one time i made a bid to him for rain it went well #(after 4-6 weeks of processing time) but i still try to be extra polite to him #hades doesn’t care. zeus might actually strike me down with lightning y’know? #or at least threaten it idk

Ngl, Viktor vaguely reminds me of Husk from Hazbin hotel. Both grumpy softies :]

On that note, have you heard of the series Helluva Boss :0 ? (It's free to watch on yt)

I don't know your exact tastes in media but the art in the show is incredible in my opinion and the story is cool.

Just wanted to know what my favourite artist though on it if you've ever heard of it. Anygay!

Love your stuff 💙. You keep doing you Cass and i wish you a good day!

I think Victor is more like Tai Lung from Kung Fu Panda. But you have a point.

Yeah, I watched Helluva Boss, but I can't say I liked it much. The animation is beautiful and the art style looks interesting. I can appreciate well-done work, but this show doesn't really make me feel anything. I could have turned on a random youtube video instead and been more interested.

#idk why #maybe because almost all characters in this show kinda terrible #not as a bad written character #i mean as a terrible person #they’re killing/cheating/lying/etc #which is logical bc it’s hell #but it’s also making me so desensitised to all those things #that when I supposed to worry or at least care about them #instead I’m just …eh. whatever #idk how to explain it better #maybe it’s all about my brain being built that way #I like stories that can show me trust and care and kindness #and then make me shake in fear when they threaten to take them away #you know what I mean?

since ive already been pretty open about this and im not afraid to whack a hornets nest i'll go ahead and say it: if you were raising a kid in a pseudo-apocalyptic setting and then you found out that said kid was going to be the one to defeat the eldritch god that you have tried to defeat for half your lifetime and could never manage. that she was going to FACE that eldritch god it was prophesied. you would teach her how to defend herself and how to fight. like god i am not saying hero's trauma from it wasn't justified because i do think the twins took it too far but the initial process of training her makes so much more sense if you approach it at the angle of "this kid is going to do something we've been trying to do since we were twelve and couldn't manage and we might not even be there to help her so we have to make sure she doesn't die in the process" and not "we're going to make her fix our mistakes" it makes sense. goes along with lark's running theme of not being strong enough in the moments that matter and wanting to make sure nobody else ever feels as helpless as he did when walter was injured. goes along with sparrow desperately tempting fate with normal's name- not because normal was an accident, but because sparrow never wanted to lose even one kid to the doodler and it was a fervent, desperate wish to let normal get to be normal

#dndads #kasey rambles #sorry im feeling especially spiteful today #cause again i do think. the twins get the least amount of nuance from the fandom #tell me how yall were just fighting for glenn so hard and then you turn around and tell me that the twins are evil monsters skahsdkfhkdhsf #like idk. it makes sense to me! #if hero was supposed to fight the doodler but they dont know WHEN it would happen. theyd train her early #make sure it was a fight she could win #and thats also why shes NOT in the chosen one position anymore #she wanted to leave and now that she could reasonably defend herself should she be threatened. its fine! #if they really only wanted her to fix their mistakes she would not have been allowed to leave. lmao #again this isn't to say that she wasn't traumatized from the experience like. #i think the twins shouldve been honest with her and there shouldnt have been so much pressure #but i get why they felt the need to make sure she could handle herself in a fight so early on #also like. this kind of thing happens in so many post apocalyptic settings its not even uncommon #yall just dont see this world as being post apocalyptic and it shows LMAO

I find it so weird that the comment about Aziraphale, an ANGEL, having a license to port and fire guns -and has a derringer in a hollow book in his library just in case- is just a passing, "you read too many books", throwaway, fun-fact. As well as the cut to the nazombie in the shop.

I definetly thought that the derringer was going to play a part in the episode, maybe that plotline got scrapped but not the license line because of the ironic implications of an angel legally owning guns but a demon never having shot one.

I want the derringer to be important somewhere in season 3.

#angel with a (shot)gun #good omens #good omens 2 #good omens spoilers #let the angel shoot someone #i mean Aziraphale not muriel #she would never #or at least have crowley remember and shoot somebody idk #not shoot he wouldn't shoot a soul #threaten #bluff #anyway

Patrick Troughton guests as ruthless racketeer George, out to silence the man who can identify his brother as a murderer, in Dial 999: Key Witness (1.26, ABC, 1959)

#fave spotting #patrick troughton #dial 999 #doctor who #classic doctor who #two #abc #key witness #1959 #as with other Dial 999 posts‚ the episode number and year of transmission are more in the way of educated guesses #tho two separate sources identify this as ep 26 so that's good enough for me #yes it's been a while‚ i got very distracted and wandered away from Dial 999 but I'm mopping it up now #this was a very pleasant surprise‚ not least because Pat had already made two appearances in the series: a minor role as a heavy in 1.5 and #an uncredited appearance as a tramp in 1.16 (both can be found if you follow the fave spotting tag) so i wasn't really expecting him to #turn up again. but he does! and he finally gets a real meaty part! he's the villain of the week‚ a criminal of vague occupation (he has #something to do with gambling? race tracks maybe? idk it kind of gets glossed over) but when his kid brother kills a rival and is easily #apprehended‚ Pat decides it's time to silence the witness... cue a tense cat and mouse as Pat and goon tail their mark as the police tail #them. genuinely one of the most enjoyable episodes of this funny little series i think‚ and a lot of that is down to Pat giving it his #all as a dangerous gangster. he lounges around in a dressing gown‚ he slaps his bro around‚ he jeers at the cops and he #threatens his lawyer with a watery sack grave. he's gone full villain! and it's delightful!

hey other jewish people how are y’all feeling about people going ‘why don’t we all just convert to judaism’

#judaism allows abortion when the birthing parent’s life is at risk #but the conversation surrounding judaism and abortion has been taken out of jewish spaces by goyim and it’s kinda. idk #because not every jewish person or jewish space is going to be pro choice. there are spaces and people who are pro life unless the birthing #parents life is threatened #i feel like the conversation and nuances are being removed by goyim who want to be able to say ‘these religions are pro abortion’ #im absolutely pro choice don’t get me wrong. if you don’t want a fetus in you leeching off your nutrients i completely get that and you #should absolutely have the right to remove the fetus #i just wanted to see if any other Jewish people have seen this happening and/or have any thoughts #i think people are scared and this brings the most immediate hope which i completely understand but also the removal of the conversation #from Jewish communities is painting judaism as a very large monolith and misrepresenting the distinctions and differences in the beliefs of #different Jewish people and communities #jumblr #and it’s not all of course but i have seen this from at least three seperate people #it was on twitter thank goodness not here but i don’t post there so y’all get the question

'Trapped in the end!' said Sam bitterly, his anger rising again above weariness and despair. 'Gnats in a net. May the curse of Faramir bite that Gollum and bite him quick!' 'That would not help us now,' said Frodo.

Sword in hand Sam went after him. For the moment he had forgotten everything else but the red fury in his brain and the desire to kill Gollum. But before he could overtake him, Gollum was gone. Then as the dark hole stood before him and the stench came out to meet him, like a clap of thunder the thought of Frodo and the monster smote upon Sam's mind.

Now he tried to find strength to tear himself away and go on a lonely journey – for vengeance. If once he could go, his anger would bear him down all the roads of the world, pursuing, until he had him at last: Gollum. Then Gollum would die in a corner. But that was not what he had set out to do. It would not be worth while to leave his master for that. It would not bring him back. Nothing would.

Sam and vengeance in today's entry

#idk i have Thoughts about this... rambles ahead... #there's an interesting arc here with how sam approaches his feelings of vengeance in this entry #starting with the first quote. frodo's response to sam is so brief and doesn't get much time to sit with all the action going on #but i feel like it speaks volumes #at least in showcasing the different points they stand on #sam centers his resentment and feelings of revenge... he's quick to get frustrated and immediately goes for threatening gollum #meanwhile frodo is focused on getting out. he doesn't have time to nurse anger nor does he want to #it feels like he's advising sam to move past it because he knows it's futile to stay stuck in those feelings #then there's sam's fight with gollum #after days and weeks of building tension from his mistrust towards gollum... this is where the dam finally breaks #sam's been feeding into his resentment for SO LONG it's no wonder he gets into this state of blind fury towards the end #he set himself up to seek vengeance the moment he gets the opportunity #which in some way i'm sure does help him in fending off gollum... that strength had to come from somewhere #but once he's staved him off he continues to fixate that anger on gollum and forgets what he originally set out to do-- protect frodo #and then we're left with the final quote... #it isn't until sam has (perceived to have) lost everything that he is able to come to the conclusion that vengeance won't serve him #...a lesson learned a little too late?? maybe?? no?? it feels cruel to say that #i definitely do not want to take the position that sam was responsible for what happened to frodo #he was pinned in a horribly desperate situation and couldn't do much once gollum attacked #i don't think much would've changed if he hadn't had his moment of fury with chasing gollum #anyways newbie here-- i haven't read anything ahead from here so idk what character arcs await sam #but i'm interested to see if this is later built upon or acknowledged #end of rambles skdfjgkdjsfg #lotr newsletter #lotr newsletter march 13th #EDIT: I forgot to space the quotes out 😭 #not a crime but they can get confusing to read when scrunched together hrnnnn

So Kusuo often gets strong armed into hanging out with people by his mom. But what would she do if he really did ultimately decline? I mean, she seems genuinely threatening when she forces him to do things, and while there’s a chance he’s just such a mama’s boy and doesn’t want to see her disappointed and hear her thoughts, I feel like it’s equally likely she would do something drastic or impactful. I very much do not think that she would ever hit him, but ig she just reminds me of my mom a lot

#I have a lot of feelings about her #maybe I’m just projecting my mom onto her bc I kin Kusuo #but like #it’s interesting to think about #she loves Kusuo a lot but a lot of her actions are very misguided #I don’t think she’s intentionally malicious #but it really does seem threatening #idk #I definitely don’t hate her #not as much as I hate Kuniharu and Kusuke at least #but she needs self awareness #saiki no psi nan #saiki k #saiki headcanons #saiki kusuo #saiki kurumi #tw abuse

Forgot just how upsetting gloomed korok forest is

#idk. just this one sanctuary that was different from the rest in that all of these spirits only link and a few others #can see are offering you help and safety. care uniquely for you. a bed for YOU. YOUR sword. kept safe for 100 years for YOU. #thrown together shops just for YOU because nobody else goes here or even knows it exists. #and then you return and the people who cared so much about you dont even speak to you anymore #they cant speak. they just stand there #idk korok forest made me feel the most like i fucked up somehow #rito village was bad but still livable. if things got any worse then they would have to abandon home until it settled #but no one was in immediate life threatening danger #gerudo was really REALLY bad and people were in danger. just all crammed inside a bunker. no going into town because your #home doesnt belong to you anymore #and then the zora were ... idk felt the least pressing even though it definitely should be bc like. they breathe water. #if the water is gross theyll die. but idk something about how it was executed felt less terrible #maybe they outwardly expressed more hope? idk. same with the gorons didnt feel like there was a pressing threat #but korok forest is fucking AWFUL. god #idk. nobody in hyrule talks about it because they dont know there are people there. nobody else can see them so nobody knows #somethings wrong. with no lead into it finding korok forest the way it is just feels soooo much worse. #idk. on my first playthru i kind thought i fucked up and shouldve gotten there sooner. #it just feels like no matter what youre too late and its your fault

[sonknuxadow]

does anybody remember that time a couple years ago where half the main voice cast for sonic were on twitter like Im quitting this role goodbye everyone. and then a few months later they were like Haha nevermind hey guys. and they were all back for sonic frontiers

#i specifically remember that sonic and amys voice actors said they were leaving #iirc tails' va said that she wasnt sure if she'd be returning for the games but that she had at least one more sonic related project left #(which we now know was the second movie) #and i think eggmans va said hes not quitting and hes staying for as long as sega will let him. and knuckles' va didnt say anything at all #i have to wonder wtf was going on behind the scenes for this to happen? like if it was just one va saying they were gonna quit #i wouldnt question it that much. but it was more than one and they All backtracked on it. thats kinda weird? #was sega treating voice actors poorly to the point where it made them wanna quit or threaten to quit #but whatever made them wanna quit changed which is why they were willing to come back? #was there confusion caused by sonic prime getting a different cast that made the game vas thing they were being replaced? #i wanna say that roger said he ''quit'' by his own choice though? but i could be misremembering. if i am remembering that right though #maybe roger's announcement that he was leaving sonic made the other voice actors thing they would be replaced soon ???? idk

terfs go climb into a hole and start rotting. animals cannot inherently tell your "biological sex" you are all so fucking stupid. All this post is saying is that animals are not infallible judges of character and some of them make really stupid vibe checks and that people should try not to take it personally. Unless youre a terf in which case they know and they hate you and you should take it personally

re that one post tbh i do want to stress i dont think animals are like magically psychic at knowing your True Gender tbh i think ppl definitely get way too weird about Animal's judgement of ppl.

Sometimes a dog will vibe check a man and the dog will be right and you should listen. but sometimes the dog will vibe check someone for no good reason. sometimes dogs have wack judgement. sometimes dogs have biases influenced by their owners or previous owners. like. there are Racist Dogs. its not the dogs fault, but that doesnt make the bias theyve developed less real, or less potentially hurtful. i dont think we need to like, Cancel Dogs Bc Sometimes Ppl Can Train Them To Be Racist, but we do need to stop perpetuating the idea that a dog's judgement of someone is infallible. theyre not responsible for it and its not their fault its developed, theyre just dogs, they didnt choose it, but that doesnt mean theyre RIGHT lmao. i think its important to stress this for many reasons but in regard to that last post specifically, if youve ever been vibe checked as a gender you arent by a judgy dog its literally not your fault. might not even be the owners fault. not the dogs fault cos like. its a fucking dog. you do kinda have to be the bigger person in that scenario cos the other person is. A Dog.

#toy txt post #this was meant to be a quick post it got a bit longer and more in depth than i planned oops #i just hate when ppl act like All Dogs have Inherently Correct Judgement Of People #like from every angle. its funny to joke about but i know theres ppl out there who might be feeling like #very fragile in their gender or smth and seeing a post like that if they meet a dog that normally hates men but not women but it doesnt #recognize your inherent true gender im sure seeing shit like that post can be a horr #got interrupted by a phone call while typing it and the post is glitching so i cant see where that tag is cut off so uh #dogs are like ppl in that they can develop biases and have bad judgement and they dont always get it right #they are not like ppl in that it is not possible to ask a dog to examine its biases. you cannot make a dog take a class on #critical race theory. you have to work to socialize and desensitize them against those biases or at least make sure those biases theyve #developed dont negatively impact ppl. in this sense i guess im morally obligated to try to learn more spanish to see if it helps my dog #chill. shes nervous around all new ppl but parents have anecdotally noted she extra dislikes men speaking in spanish. she was a stray so we #dont really know her history. she also does Not like fire pokers outside. weirdly even tho its basically the same tool she is unfazed by #the indoor poker for the woodstove? but ig she wouldve had less exposure to indoor woodstoves as a stray in Louisiana? #but i can see like ppl having a little backyard barbecue and threatening the big mastiff looking stray dog with a fire poker and i think #that region of the country prolly has a higher number of spanish speaking ppl than our current residence so the odds of her running into a #spanish speaking guy who isnt very nice are prolly higher just due to a denser population as a whole. and we think shes part mastiff which #i think is a breed already prone to disliking strangers that probably cooked up into a little cocktail in her brain #luckily shes bad enough with All Strangers that i think honestly it would be hard to even notice her bias? but. ig i need to see if i can #desensitize her? idk. sighs but im scared to open duolingo now 😭. but i could maybe do it. when other ppl wear hats she fucking hates it #i wear a fucking face covering mask that looks like a giant eyeball she looks at me a little quizzically but is fine. jester hat? fine #i am like that video of the person desensitizing that horse except thats just like. living w me. minus the cat thing. id never do that to #the cats or dog. everyone would hate that. squirrel already cant tolerate being held while a dog is out cos he THINKS im going to do that. #it would traumatize the dog cos he'd injure me escaping and then prolly her trying to scare her off to get past her and shes just minding #her business. solo i cant hold that long but is less likely to injure anyone. shadow. first of all all 3 are way too heavy to be holding #like that #im getting lost in the tags again sorry im chewing caffeinated gum. i should go try to buy some catnip #ive made my Phone Calls. im gonna try to go get dressed and buy various catnip products. maybe lure him with a toy this time. need my #parents to help me but not be so visibly Ready to help me next time cos i do not want to chase his ass again...

The PJO show is definitely not BAD, it’s very fun and cool, but tbh I dislike almost every single change they’ve made from the book lol

#disclaimer this is not about the casting I do not care about them de-blonding anyone annabeth I love u #it’s about the plot changes! I don’t like or don’t understand the point of most of them! #sally doesn’t tell him about the gods! #Percy doesn’t get mad at Grover! At least not like this! #he doesn’t get riptide back until they leave for the quest! #also the change of why he gets kicked out wasn’t like worse but I didn’t really get why they did it #and juniper???? in book one??? #but the biggest thing is Gabe. I really don’t like the way they made him like wimpy? #he’s literally physically abusive in the book. he steals Percy’s money the second he steps through the door. #he’s dangerous and sally is kind of scared of him in the book. she doesn’t yell at him and demand to go away and threaten his food #idk maybe he’ll get worse later but as of now: does he deserve to get kicked out? absolutely. does he deserve to be killed? not really? #also Clarisse looks too well groomed lmao that’s NOT my war daughter #and she just makes other people bully Percy? no way. she was the one shoving his head in the toilet!!! give her her violence back!! #ALSO! where is annabeth? she’s supposed to be obsessed with him bc she thinks he’s the one to get the quest and he’s been here like two days #and she is nowhere to be found???? #anyway not putting the show tag on this it’s just personal rant time #mine

2023 reads // twitter thread

Reader, I Murdered Him

spinoff of jane eyre, following Adele, the young french girl she’s a governess for

she retells the story of her young life, from when she’s adopted to her life in boarding school in in London where she witnesses other young women being hurt and assaulted by abusive men, and becomes a vigilante to try and protect them

bi MC, f/f

#Reader I Murdered Him #Betsy Cornwell #aroaessidhe 2023 reads #hm mixed feelings! #the blurb calls it a thriller which. i wouldn’t call it that #quite slow to start #and only does like. one murder and threatens some dudes. she becomes a thief rather than like fully vigilante #i think it could have committed more fully in certain directions #and also the bit at the end..while it was definitely implied he was creepy; that kind of all came out at once & conveniently ended the stor #the sapphic romance subplot was nice though! and the friendships! #I’m not super familiar with jane eyre and I think this relies on you knowing it to fill in some gaps at the start at least. #but also if you’re fond of the romance in that you probably won’t like this lol #the author’s note is interesting and talking about how the women other than jane in the original are just sort of irrelevant plot devices #so like. maybe read if you DON’T like JE; or if you like it but are more into the characters/themes than the romance #idk haha

i don't know why in this our year of the lorb 2023 i am still needing to bust out the crayons to explain that bisexual people aren't any less bisexual when they're not in a same sex relationship, but people apparently would prefer to eat the crayons than acknowledge that point. so. here we are.

#i get that i am Tired and need to go to bed #but also #i've had my identity simultaneously erased #and threatened by the government in not one #but TWO separate ways today #and i did not need to hear that #i literally just want to be able to at least exist in fandom without like. #needing to fight for it. #can't even have that lol. #i'm salty about this rn. #i will sleep this off. #i will feel better tomorrow. #but like. idk man. #think about it. or don't i'm not your dad.

[saintlesbian]

once again I still think finn and Liz are better as friends, but also I think what’s very irritating about this pairing is that they aren’t really playing a part in any major plotlines rn, so seeing them show up feels like these two have been paired together to hit contract minimums in the meantime, like they’re in this romance story holding pattern until the writers figure out what to do next…

#pentababbles #general hospital #now of course. not every character needs to be contributing to a major plotline all the time #but with fiz it feels like this awkward romance is their whole plot… #comparing to other couples most of the others at least serve multiple plot functions #chalynn has the internal conflict of blq committing corporate espionage threatening to undermine the relationship again #and the external conflicts of blq’s dad being an amnesiac while chase is investigating a murder #sprina has the internal conflict of spencer having to raise his brother with clingy Esme #and the external conflict of Trina’s paternity reveal + Curtis getting shot + Portia’s neurotic ass #sante hasn’t had too much internal conflict they’re mostly chilling #but both of them are involved in external investigations related to major plots #fiz hasn’t had much going for them in a while. aside from passively remarking on what some other main characters are doing… #…they’re pretty disengaged from everything else. #last time they had a relevant plot it was mostly retconning Liz’s history to try making Finn relevant (flop btw) #and then Liz helping nik keep Esme prisoner and confessing to the crime. what now? #like idk much about Finn but Liz is a character with a 25 year history theres gotta be SOMETHING y’all can work with here #ugh whatever I’m in my hater era again lol
