Talk to me about literally any nerd shit. If I wasn't into it before, congrats now I am bc you are, and I'm an obsessive freak who will make myself like everything you do.
Ⓢ︎Ⓒ︎Ⓞ︎Ⓡ︎Ⓟ︎Ⓘ︎Ⓞ︎ Ⓢ︎Ⓤ︎Ⓝ︎ ☀︎︎ I'm an odd balance of private and open... have fun with that.
Ⓥ︎Ⓘ︎Ⓡ︎Ⓖ︎Ⓞ︎ Ⓜ︎Ⓞ︎Ⓞ︎Ⓝ︎ ☾︎ I'm analytical of myself in every damn aspect possible, so don't expect me to stay confident... it fades fast.
Ⓒ︎Ⓐ︎Ⓝ︎Ⓒ︎Ⓔ︎Ⓡ︎ Ⓡ︎Ⓘ︎Ⓢ︎Ⓘ︎Ⓝ︎Ⓖ︎ ☝︎ I'm a caretaker at heart even though I'm scared to let people too close... don't take it personally if I seem distant. It's habit, I'm trying.
I don't talk about it as a main point of my blog, but I will mention system parts.
Hey idk who needs this but helpful reminder that "virgin blood" in any witchcraft shit that requires that means "virgin" in the same sense as "virgin hair" means hair that hasn't been dyed or processed in any way, natural in the default sense. So no, "virgin blood" doesn't mean blood from a virgin, just blood that hasn't been used for any other kind of witchy shit earlier.
Whether nor not someone has fucked before is completely irrelevant. Any act of fucking doesn't instantly make someone contaminated or un-magic any of their shit. You're just not supposed to re-use blood for blood magic. That's just not. Just do not. Like that's just weird who does that.
Unles you've like, poured out ALL OF YOUR BLOOD, used it for a spell, and then somehow SIPHONED THE WHOLE THING BACK IN, that doesn't mean the blood on the inside of you is also used. And even then, if you'd had your sacrifical blood IV'd back into your body-
actually nevermind, I need to draw a graph to illustrate:
I keep forgetting to post this!! My full piece for the Colours of the Gate zine :)) There are some familiar faces in the background, and also some OC cameos lol. This is also available as a print on my inprnt!!
Something neuroscience-y that helps with prose: attention is selective. A character will not notice everything in a room. They will notice what matters to their goal, fear, desire, training, wound, or obsession. A jealous character notices hands. a hungry character notices food. A soldier notices exits. A lonely character notices pairs. Description becomes character when attention has a bias.
