I’m here to say one thing today. Just one. The goddess Hel deserves more hype. She is amazing and absolutely beautiful. I’ve experienced firsthand her enduring patience, and through her rule over the dead she has given me a unique and priceless view on the value of living life to its fullest. Hail Hel!

“Jason,” Catherine says tiredly, even though she knows he can’t hear her, “sweetheart, baby boy, that isn’t food.”
Jason, blissfully oblivious, continues stirring the radioactive orange powder into the...Scooby-Doo-shaped...pasta. She wants to scream. It won’t help, won’t even get the lights to flicker, but still.
The dog jumps up on the counter, tail wagging, and snuffles at Jason’s elbow. Catherine sighs and scrubs at her face.
“Don’t let him eat that,” she pleads. “He has vegetables in the fridge. I saw them. He can eat those.”
Lemon, who always gets a bite of the non-nutritious crap, ignores her.
Watching him is just going to enrage her, and she leaves in a huff.

Jason is very much the type to:
-headbutt someone
-stab them
and
-kick them down a flight of stairs
only to turn right around and go, hand-to-heart, 'I didn't lay a finger on him.'

Angels, Lend Me Your Might
It doesn’t matter how many years he does this job, or how many Robins Bats drags into this (any number over ‘zero’ is too damn high): there are few things more creepy and unsettling than a blood-spattered child.
Robin the Second looks a bit like his predecessor, sure. Acts like him too, sometimes–when Robin the First initially showed up, the kid was an absolute hellion. This one’s a little less touchy, but when he does get pissed off…
He’s not pissed off anymore. He’s just standing quietly in the middle of the room, red staining his face and neck and clothes, staring off into space. Three men are trussed up in the corner, surrounded by glass from the broken window,  and Batman is nowhere in sight.
And.
And there’s a body, a little girl, clearly dead, clearly strangled, on the bed.
“Gimme a minute, Martinez,” he murmurs. “‘Kay?”
Martinez looks at the men and the girl and the kid and just sighs.
“Christ.”
Indeed.
Harvey steps into the room, into Robin’s space, and risks putting his hands on his shoulders.
“Hey, punkass,” he says gently. “What happened here?”
Robin shudders, still staring off, and murmurs, “They didn’t stop. She. She was. She was crying.”
Harvey’s got his own private little theories about Robin. Most of them aren’t Disney-approved.
“Are you hurt?”
“Doesn’t matter.”
Yeesh.
“Lemme check. If Bats gets here and you’re bleeding out, it’s my ass.”
Sometimes, that prompts a smile. Not today. Harvey shifts his toothpick over a little more and pulls out his flashlight.
Most of the blood appears to be from a head wound; just a split, up on his hairline. Some of it isn’t his, but glancing over at the men in the corner turns up broken noses and head wounds of their own. One of them also has three fingers that are so badly broken the bones are sticking out.
Harvey will be deeply unsurprised when it turns out that’s the guy who strangled the girl on the bed.
“You be honest with me,” he says. “No stabs, no shots, no nothing?”
“Mm-mm.”
“You swear?”
“On my future grave.” He gets a smile at last, but it’s a cold, broken thing. “One of ‘em caught me with a pipe, that’s all.”
Harvey’s pretty sure he’s concussed, but that’s more Batman’s problem.
“I catch you lying, I’ll put you in that grave,” he says instead. “Anyone else here?”
“No.”
“Batman coming?”
“I’m s’posed to meet him.” Robin shrugs and pulls away, scrubbing his arm across his face and only spreading the blood further. “M’fine. Why’re you lookin’ at me like that.”

My #1 post of 2022
It takes Bruce a few minutes to register what's different in this room, but when he does, he has to laugh.
No one's here to see. It's fine.
Three things are missing from Jason's childhood bedroom. A well-thumbed copy of Frankenstein, the black lighter Bruce let him keep because 'I do light candles, y'know', and the red electric guitar that had been the absolute bane of his existence since Jason got it for his birthday.
He'd been good. That wasn't the problem. The problem was that he liked to practice loud, angry songs when he was mad at Bruce and when Bruce was trying to work, be it as Batman or at the office. To make matters worse, this had been an Alfred-sanctioned activity ('the boy needs a day hobby, Master Bruce'), which meant that, frankly, Bruce had been forced to shut up and cope.
The only place those thing would be is Jason's apartment. He's a little curious, and a little hopeful, as to why Jason had come to reclaim his guitar. Maybe Batman will just...poke his head by, later. Just for a minute.
***
"--really, really rusty," Jason's saying. He's talking to the grey dog that has it in for pretty much everyone that has ever knocked on the window. "And, uh, broken, so you don't get to make fun of me if I sound like a guy with a fork stuck in his uvula."
That's very specific and Bruce wishes it weren't.
Jason's blue skeleton plugs in the guitar and spends a few seconds fiddling with it. The dog, who is sprawled on the couch, doesn't seem impressed.
"This one goes out to Batman, who lurks outside my apartment like a creep when he could just knock on the door like a civilized person."
Oh, no.
There's a stark, strong opener before a woman's voice screams, "BACK FROM THE DEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAD!"
Well, Bruce thinks, some things have not changed.
That said, Jason might be rusty, but he's doing all right.

Recipe For My Favorite Carrier Oil & Essential Oil Blend!
Tumblr media
This blend is simple but effective! Here is what you’ll need!
1 Rollerball Vial With Tinted Color Glass (Because we don’t want the oils to go bad!)
3 drops lemon essential oil
Enough Jojoba carrier oil to fill up the vial the rest of the way! I like Jojoba oil cause it matches the cheerful energies of Lemon Essential oil and compliments the scent nicely. However, vegetable carrier oil works too!
Small citrine chips for boosted positivity and awareness! (These are optional).
NOTE: Do not put more drops of lemon into the vial. 3 is a safe amount! Lemon is strong and a little goes a long way when applying it with a carrier oil to your skin. I recommend using the 10 ml. rollerball vial for this recipe. If you use something smaller please put two drops or one drop of lemon instead!
PROPERTIES & PURPOSE OF THIS OIL MIXTURE!
-Boosted positivity
-Awareness
-Awakeness
-Destressing
-Cleansing
Have fun! Be safe! Always use caution when using essential oils. This mixture is meant for EXTERNAL SKIN OINTMENT USE ONLY. Do not ingest. And do not put on your animals etc.

Some people find the mourning doves (that hang out in my backyard and on the side of the house) annoying. But ever since I was a little girl, the sad but sweet song of the mourning doves was always a comfort to me. Even when I lived at my childhood home they would hang out in our front yard there. They’re beautiful creatures, guardians of my little plant paradise. And they bring me peace when I have anxiety. As if their call simply says “You are home. You are safe.”

Thinking of starting a journal dedicated to Freyja and one for Loki as well. I want to be more active in connecting with them, and I keep seeing journaling posts in regards to deity work!
