Lazarus Bell

These delicate, bell-like flowers have tiny colorful snakes growing in the cup of their lush pink petals.

The Lazarus Bell’s nectar is said to contain the pure, distilled essence of youth. It can cure ailments of the body as well as listlessness, nostalgia, and ennui. However, the snakes defend this nectar fiercely, and each bite carries a traumatic venom.

Desperate adults often perish in pursuit of these flowers. But innocent children have been known to sniff straight from the cup of a Lazarus Bell unharmed, whose hazy aroma plants a lingering memory of joy. 

If such a child dies pure-hearted, a new Lazarus Bell will grow from their grave.

Fuck.

Ugh I'm so fucking tired from school and all my extra curricular like there's literally not enough time in the day to get all I need to done. I'm so fucking done with everything, I just want to curl up into a ball and sleeps for at least eight years. God I've never been this stressed before ever, I seriously don't know what to do. Everyday it's getting harder to be productive, I'm really scared it's gonna turn bad and I'm gonna fuck up again in school and I don't need that right now. It's getting so hard to hold everything together, I don't know what to do...

Alice Blue

This spirit appears as a floating, tattered dress that drips with water. There is coat-hanger wire inside.

Known to appear at night and at early hours of morning, often indoors. Non-aggressive, in most sightings it hovers silently in place before vanishing. 

Touching the clammy water it leaves behind causes somnambulism and waking up inexplicably waterlogged.

Bughouse

A two-foot-high beetle, this creature’s carapace is flat on top and checkered like a chessboard.

Each Bughouse is actually a colony, populated by tiny warriors. Resembling inch-long porcelain insects, these warriors metamorphose through several distinct stages of steadily increasing strength. However, they can only reach their final form by invading a rival colony.

Thus, when two Bughouses of opposing colors meet, the tiny warriors assault one another. Nearly all Bughouse colors have been wiped out besides white and black, but there are rumors of fierce red strains located in secluded locations, and growing to prodigious size.

Yakhchāl

This spirit looks like a normal refrigerator, before the door opens juuust enough for the arms to come out. Long, many jointed arms, dark and dry like ice-mummified flesh.

The Yakhchāl crawls around on these powerful arms, lugging the fridge like a hermit crab’s shell. The fridge is covered in cute magnets and reminders that the Yakhchāl collects. Buy milk. Don’t forget to call Mom. 

When it needs to rest, the Yakhchāl plants the fridge upright and closes the door, sometimes for years at a time. If you see an old fridge standing somewhere it doesn’t seem to belong, open at your own risk.

Orikata

These playful spirits appear as little dolls made from folded paper. Headless by nature, Orikata like to affix a child’s toy as a makeshift head: a small plastic dinosaur, a sticky hand, a GameBoy cartridge. Any object is suitable so long as it was once beloved, is now lost, and is sufficiently small in size.

Some Orikata use placeholder objects like acorns and smooth stones until they find a head they like, and they are known to take on behaviors that mimic their objects of choice. If an Orikata affixes something you offer it, you have made a fierce but tiny protector for life.

Ramblings...

I don’t really have anyone else to share this with but I got a job interview for a position at my university that sounds really awesome and they created a new position and think that I could be good in it! I’m just really excited for the future which isn’t something that happens a lot if ever
