🐚🧜🏻♀️🌺 Siren Song Shell Charm 🐚🧜🏻♀️🌺
💕 Here is a spell to make your voice as enchanting, powerful and seductive as a siren. This charm will make your voice sound better and clearer as it builds your confidence from the powers of the very ocean. It also may help you with singing, being comfortable in yourself and with those around you, making you irresistible to talk to with others. From my personal grimoire!💕
🌛 When to cast: 🌜
• Full moon or any time during Friday
💐 Things you’ll need: 💐
Circle casting tools
Matches or lighter
A small funnel
Sea water
Sand
A small bowl and spoon
Rose incense (for attraction)
A small conch shell (conch for communication)
Red or pink candle (red for confidence, plan into action, pink for attraction)
Rose buds or petals (feminine energy, water, psychic energy)
Rosemary and cinnamon (power)
Honey (sweetness and potency)
🕯️ Making the charm : 🕯️
Cleanse your work area and cast your circle. Then call out any deity or spirit to aid you in your spellwork. (optional!)
Light your candle(s) and cleanse the shell make sure there is no holes or cracks in the shell.
With your shell sprinkle in some of the sand(about a pinch), then the rose and rosemary or cinnamon and set aside. (use a small funnel if its hard)
Place one drop of honey on your tongue without swallowing it or having it dissolve completely (I suggest having your tongue not touch the roof of your mouth)
While holding the honey in your tongue pour the sea water in the small bowl then stir six times clockwise slowly and think clearly what you wish. (eating the honey is fine after you have finished stirring.)
Carefully add a few drops of sea water and a drop of honey in the shell.
Before covering the shell opening with the candle wax, sing the following rhyme six times while you seal the shell opening with the candle wax.
“𝒜𝓈 𝓈𝓉𝓇𝑜𝓃𝑔 𝒶𝓈 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝑜𝒸𝑒𝒶𝓃 𝓌𝒶𝓋𝑒𝓈
𝒜𝓈 𝒷𝑒𝒶𝓊𝓉𝒾𝒻𝓊𝓁 𝒶𝓈 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝒸𝑜𝓇𝒶𝓁 𝓇𝑒𝑒𝒻𝓈
𝒜𝓈 𝒹𝑒𝑒𝓅 𝒶𝓈 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝓈𝑒𝒶 𝒸𝒶𝓋𝑒𝓈
𝒯𝒽𝒾𝓈 𝒸𝒽𝒶𝓇𝓂 𝓈𝒽𝒶𝓁𝓁 𝒷𝓁𝑒𝓈𝓈 𝓂𝑒
𝒲𝒾𝓉𝒽 𝒶 𝓋𝑜𝒾𝒸𝑒, 𝑜𝓃𝒸𝑒 𝒽𝑒𝒶𝓇𝒹, 𝓈𝒽𝒶𝓁𝓁 𝒷𝑒 𝑜𝒷𝑒𝓎𝑒𝒹
𝑀𝓎 𝒾𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉 𝓈𝒽𝒶𝓁𝓁 𝒷𝑒 𝒸𝑜𝓃𝓋𝑒𝓎𝑒𝒹”
Once the hole is covered completely, make sure that it’s secure and doesn’t leak. And let the candle(s) burn down completely.
🌷💕🐣 Happy casting! 🌷💕🐣
ADHD STUDY TIPS
I have adhd. I’m taking all online classes this semester for college. Somehow, I’m not failing. Here’s what I do that works for me!
1. I have an alarm that makes me do math every morning to turn it off, it’s called Alarmy! 📚
2. It also plays a different loud sound every day from random– I have several hundred(?) ringtones downloaded from Zedge, things like songs from shows I like or Pokemon cries or MBMBAM lines, and this helps me wake up to a different sound I’m bound to like which my brain can’t get used to (and then ignore). I highly suggest godzilla roars if you need to be startled awake. 📚
3. This is SUPER HARD but I always try to force myself to sit up in bed when I’m turning off my alarm or checking my phone or whatever, so I’m not tempted to pass out again. I also like to get up and loudly tell my cats “good morning” so I wake us both up 📚
4. PLEASE STOP EATING CEREAL AND BAGELS AND STUFF. You would not BELIEVE the difference it makes when you eat things like fruits and eggs in the morning. NO MORE 10AM NAPS, I’M WATCHING YOU 📚
5. I literally schedule in Duolingo time. If you aren’t learning a language you can do some other enriching activity like this, idk. I force myself to do it on my computer, not phone, so I can’t lay down in bed when I’m doin it. I have a 101-day streak!! 📚
6. ik this isn’t available to everyone but SPACE MATTERS SO MUCH!! I got a gaming desk that we put in our living room and I do ALL of my homework there. I also got a second monitor for my laptop with is SOOOO important if you’re multitasking (and we all are, bc we’re adhders ibdusvcjkn) 📚
7. HAND WRITE YOUR NOTES!!! I know this is super hard for many people– I have carpal tunnel so I get it lmao. If you can’t, at least type them. YOU THINK YOU CAN MEMORIZE INFO BUT YOU’RE WRONG!! Please write as much as you can i swear it will change ur life 📚
8. COLOURED! PENS!!! These changed the game for me y'all. I take all my notes in at least 2 colours, and I cycle through them a lot. My favs are Pilot Frixions because u can erase them :) (the highlighters are epic too) 📚
9. Make your space fun, but NOT DISTRACTING. I have a plant (his name is Yoshi) and a desk Godzilla (his name is Godzilla) on my desk, but they’re out of the way so I can’t zone out starin at em. But also, when I’m bored outta my gourd, I can smile at Yoshi and tell him how my day is goin :] 📚
10. SNACKING BAD *BUT*… sometimes i do it anyway… i try to associate certain foods with subjects, like I eat cocoa M&Ms (which are awesome) when I’m reading my Kaqchikel textbook. On the upside, I think it helps me recall Kaqchikel better? but also the language makes me crave mnms adkldigurvn 📚
11. LISTEN TO… CERTAIN MUSIC. I have learned that music with words, even in LANGS I DO NOT KNOW, is HELL for my adhd. Right now I’m listening to stuff like “Pokemon and Chill” (lofi album on YT), Studio Ghibli violin covers, and Night on Bald Mountain 5x on repeat ibjnvc…. I highly suggest songs/videos that are, like, 20+ minutes or else you’ll get distracted with the constant change. Also, that No One’s Around To Help 1hr vid is REALLY REPETITIVE and therefore PERFECT for when I’m reading textbooks. 📚
12. EVERY NIGHT… i make a super detailed timetable schedule for the next day, down to the half hour. I don’t always follow it but it’s a really good reminder of what I gotta do. I write it on a whiteboard but sometimes I also write it on a sticky note and on social media so I don’t forget. To do lists are so epic you guys 📚
13. THIS HAS SAVED MY L I F E: at the beginning of the semester I looked at ALL of my syllabi and wrote down EVERY daily task, test, homework, etc BY DATE. this is essentially a premade to do list EVERY DAY for MONTHS and oh my gosh it is the best thing I have ever done. 📚
14. I use the Forest app to track my productivity AND lock me out of apps ndsjv… podomoro timers work well too!!! 📚
15. Ok so for me this is like… a religious thing bc my Patron (my God) is a deity of fire AND working, but I like to light a candle (scented like FALL!!) and do a little prayer on it and I have it next to me when I’m workin on terrible, terrible homework. It helps me feel like my Patron is here with me, but also it’s GREAT for grounding and I can just kinda. Stare blankly at the flame and then get back to tryin to focus. 📚
16. Please drink water lmao, to make sure I drink enough I set little goals like “take a sip after every paragraph you read" 📚
17. Each of my classes has a different coloured notebook which I’m consistent with! Like, all my German notebooks through the years have been green! Also I take notes w green pens a lot in Deutsch 📚
18. HELLA STICKY NOTES… I put em on the bottom of my monitor, on a shelf by my desk, in my books as bookmarks (bad idea lol), on Yoshi. When I wanna go look up something random but I need to focus, I like to write it down on sticky notes to look at later. 📚
19. I’m the most annoying student ever. I like to do a bunch of assignments at once so I don’t have to budget my time later, so I’ll turn in like 5 things in an hour and then NOTHING for a week. ALSO i email my teachers constantly if I have any questions at all. I work at a pace that works for me!!! 📚
20. I turn off my sound on my phone until I’m done with work bc otherwise I WILL open that notification 📚
22. I make a loooot of chai (and also some overpriced herbal teas). It makes me feel fancy, it’s better for me than coffee, and it helps me ground and focus! Plus it’s a samefood! 📚
23. Hyperfixating on classic literature would be awesome, except I’m hyperfixating on Gothic and I’m taking a lit class for More Than Just Gothic. But I’m figuring out ways to connect them, which is really helpful, cause I get to enjoy my hyperfixation while learning for school! PLZ TRY TO DO THIS (harder when you’re hyperfixating on godzilla :pensivecowboy:) 📚
21. When I have extra time I write my notes like I’m plannin to put em on Tumblr and taggin em as #darkacademia… I never post my notes, but when they look nice it’s easier for me to look over em later. Plus it takes me longer to write so I remember it a lil better!! 📚
24. I’m in an awesome academia + studyspo server!! We sometimes study together on call and it’s SUCH a good motivator! Here’s an invite link if u wanna join, we are nice https://discord.gg/fjuX7TN (this wasn’t meant to be a promo post I just really like this group lol) 📚
OK I hope that helps!!! Feel free to add more if you have any tips that work for you :) Neurotypicals, feel free to RB respectfully!

dorm friendly magick for broom-closeted student witches
Got roommates that aren’t into witchcraft/magick? Can’t burn incense in your dorm room? Don’t have time for elaborate rituals between studying for exams and writing papers? I’ve been there. Here are some of my favorite undercover spells and rituals for witches living that college life.
Journal Magick
Keep a manifestation journal! Find a journal that really speaks to you and makes you feel good every time you open it, whether it’s a bulky leatherbound tome or has a holographic cover and hot pink pages – what matters is that you feel a connection to it.
Every morning, write down the things you want to manifest in your journal in the present tense, as if they had already happened. [Note: this works better if you are writing the same thing every day for at least a few weeks. Consistent intent is key!]
For more information on this type of manifestation, just search “scripting” on YouTube and you’ll find approximately 642934 videos on the subject.
This is a really great technique for closet witches, because no one is going to be suspicious of you writing in a notebook – plus, it’s normal for people to want to keep their journals private.
Work with correspondences just like you would for a normal spell! You can print out photos of herbs, crystals, tarot cards, astrological signs, or moon phases that correspond to your intention and glue them into your journal (or draw them, if you have artistic talent). You could even get an essential oil that matches your intention and dab a drop of it on the page. You’re essentially creating an altar dedicated to your intention, just on paper instead of in a physical altar space.
Tap into the magick of color by writing your intentions with a pen in a corresponding color (green = abundance/wealth, pink = love and friendship, yellow = academic success, etc.).
Tea and Coffee Magick
Tea and coffee are already essentially potions, and no one is going to think twice about a college student drinking a lot of coffee/tea.
Coffee is associated with grounding and protection, and it adds energy to any spell it is added to. Black tea is associated with protection, courage, and abundance. Green and white tea have their own, slightly different magickal uses. Based on these correspondences, you can use coffee and tea as a base for undercover potions!
For mental clarity and memory retention, brew a mixture of black coffee, lion’s mane, chaga, and ginger. For a caffeine-free alternative, brew an herbal tea with rosemary and peppermint.
To cleanse negative energy and release stress, brew a mixture of black coffee, Ashwagandha, cinnamon, tulsi or basil, and Eleuthero. This is based on a Four Sigmatic blend, lmao.
For a sneaky prosperity spell, brew a mixture of black coffee, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and vanilla. Yes, that is essentially pumpkin pie spice, and yes, you can use a pre-mixed pumpkin pie blend instead of buying the individual spices.
I could go on, but you get the idea. You can customize your morning beverage to suit any magickal or spiritual need.
Most plants have medicinal uses that are the same or similar to their magickal uses. So if anyone asks, tell them you’re adding these extra herbs for their nutritional and/or medicinal value.
You can also charge your tea or coffee with crystals. Just set a small crystal associated with your intention (amethyst for mental clarity, black tourmaline for protection, citrine for prosperity, etc.) next to the mug for a few minutes, or place it on top of your coffee maker. Be sure to charge both the crystal and the drink with your intention!
Candle Magick
If your dorm lets you have candles then congrats, because candle spells are both super powerful and a super easy way to hide your magick in plain sight.
Find a candle in a scent and color that match your intention. For example, you could use a pink, rose-scented candle for a love spell.
You can find custom spell candles made by witches for witches on Amazon and Etsy, and these have the added bonus of having been specifically created for magickal use. Some of the businesses I’ve personally had good experiences with are Art of the Root (available on Amazon), Esoteric Arts (available on Etsy), and Crystal Journey (Amazon).
That being said, I’ve gotten good results with $1.99 scented candles from Walmart, so please don’t feel like you need to spend a fortune on special candles for your spell to be successful.
In a pinch, an unscented white candle can be used for any intention. You can get these at the dollar store, and it’s never a bad idea to have a few on hand.
Oil Magick
Your dorm has a no-open-flames rule, so candles and incense are out of the question. No problem – you can get similar results with essential oils.
An essential oil literally contains the concentrated essence of a plant. Magickally speaking, this makes them a powerful way to add some oomph to your spells. They’re also commonly used for aromatherapy, so your roommate probably won’t be phased by you diffusing them in your dorm.
You can create custom EO blends the same way you would create an incense blend, by combining different plants based on their correspondences. You can also buy pre-mixed blends online if you’re feeling lazy or if you have a certain blend you know you’re going to use a lot like, say, a focus-enhancing blend for studying.
Another option, and one that’s more traditionally witchy, is to use magickal oils/ritual oils. A magickal oil is an oil that has been created for a specific magickal purpose – it’s like a spell in a bottle. A ritual oil is created for a specific use in magickal ritual. You can find tons of different ways to incorporate these oils into your daily life for some very subtle witchcraft.
You can create your own magickal oils by combining herbs, essential oils, and crystals that match your intention, or you can buy magickal oil blends from witch-owned businesses. Art of the Root has my absolute favorite oils – I have like six different blends, and they’re all ridiculously powerful.
Some ways you can use magickal oils: 1.) wear them as a body oil, 2.) diffuse them like you would an essential oil blend, 3.) use them to anoint and bless objects, like tests or study guides, 4.) add them to spiritual baths, and a million more. [Note: many magickal oils come with real herbs and resins in the bottle. These chunky bits could damage a diffuser, so do keep that in mind.]
Personally, I wear magickal oils on a daily basis in the place of perfume, since most of the ones I own smell really good. As I apply them, I say a small incantation to power them up. For example, if I’m wearing an attraction oil, when I put it on I’ll say something like, “I am powerfully attractive to the people and things that will improve my life.” Which oil I choose to wear depends on the day and the area of my life where I want some extra help.
Tech Magick
The nice thing about being a witch in the 21st century is that, if all else fails, you can keep your entire magickal practice contained on your laptop and/or phone. And even if you’re not doing 100% of your witchcraft in a virtual space, you can still use your technology as a tool in your practice.
Pinterest is the ultimate visualization tool. You can create a virtual altar to a deity or spirit guide by dedicating a Pinterest board to them, or create vision boards for the things you want to manifest, or create a brainstorming space to plan your full moon rituals… the possibilities are endless.
Keep your Book of Shadows and/or manifestation journal in a Word document. If you’re really concerned about privacy, you can even password protect these documents. Another pro of an electronic Book of Shadows is that most word processors have a “search” function that lets you look things up more easily.
Make a devotional playlist for a deity or spirit guide. Making Spotify playlists for my deities is one of my favorite devotional acts! I’ll put together all of the songs that remind me of that deity, and I can listen to it anytime, anywhere to instantly connect with them. And don’t be afraid to ask your deities what type of music they like – you may be surprised by the answer!
If any other witches have similar tips, feel free to add onto this! This is just stuff that I’ve found works for me, but magick is deeply personal and everyone will do things a little bit differently.
And not to shove my content in everyone’s faces, but I did just post a spell to enchant your school notebooks on my YouTube channel, so check that out if you’re interested!
Phobos & Deimos
Let's talk about my favourite terror twins!
Who are they?
Deimos (Δειμος) represents terror and dread, while his brother Phobos (Φοβος) - panic, flight and rout.
They embody two different types of fear. Dread and panic are closely related but distinct forms of the emotion, either of which could be disastrous in a battle or fight.
As twins, the two were very alike and almost inseparable. They were often seen together.
The brothers accompanied their father into battle along with some other spirits/deities (e.g. Eris, Alke, Enyo, Ioke). They were known to harness the fire-breathing stallions of Ares as well as drive his chariot inciting fear and terror among the fighting soldiers.
When Ares fought with Heracles and was wounded it was Phobos and Deimos who drove his chariot and brought him back to Olympos.
They are the gods or personified spirits (daimones) of fear and twin sons of Ares and Aphrodite.
As children of Aphrodite, they were also known to represent the fear of loss, perhaps as in a fear of losing all that one loves.
The Roman equivalent of Phobos would be Pavot and as for Deimos - Metus
Ares, Aphrodite, Eros and Phobos, Greco-Roman Pompeii Wall Fresco C1st A.D.
History and cult
Unfortunately, the information we have about the twins today is limited. Most often we can see them in ancient texts and myths described as being their father's attendants or charging into battle alongside Ares and other war-related deities but there is more to these deities as they can be just as terrifying in their own right.
In the Iliad, their names are mentioned several times as they are depicted fighting, however, we can also see them being shown on the shield of no one other but Agamemnon himself.
Homer, Iliad 11. 36 ff :
"[Description of the shield of Agamemnon :] And he took up the man-enclosing elaborate stark shield, a thing of splendour. There were ten circles of bronze upon it, and set about it were twenty knobs of tin, pale-shining, and in the very centre another knob of dark cobalt. And circled in the midst of all was the blank-eyed face of the Gorgo (Gorgon) with her stare of horror, and Deimos (Fear) was inscribed upon it, and Phobos (Terror)."
Pausanias also mentions that Phobos was represented on the shield of Agamemnon, on the chest of Cypsellus, with the head of a lion which was a common way of depicting him, as in classical art the brothers were usually depicted as unremarkable youths, either nude or in armour, so despite their associations with overwhelming forms of fear, Deimos and Phobos were typically not represented as particularly terrifying in their appearance, though as I mentioned already, sometimes Phobos was given the head of a lion or leonine features.
Portrait of Leonine Phobos, Greco-Roman mosaic, Halicarnassus C4th A.D.
What's more, the brothers are also said to be shown on the shield of Heracles where we can also get a glimpse of how the ancient Greeks thought the two could look like:
Hesiod, Shield of Heracles 139 ff :
"[Among the images engraved on the shield of Herakles:] In the centre was Phobos (Fear) worked in adamant, unspeakable, staring backwards with eyes that glowed with fire. His mouth was full of teeth in a white row, fearful and daunting, and upon his grim brow hovered frightful Eris (Strife) who arrays the throng of men . . . Upon the shield Proioxis (Pursuit) and Palioxis (Flight) were wrought, and Homados (Tumult), and Phobos (Panic), and Androktasie (Slaughter). Eris (Strife) also, and Kydoimos (Uproar) were hurrying about, and deadly Ker (Fate)."
Hesiod, Shield of Heracles 191 ff :
"[Among the images engraved on the shield of Herakles :] And on the shield stood the fleet-footed horses of grim Ares made gold, and deadly Ares the spoil-winner himself. He held a spear in his hands and was urging on the footmen: he was red with blood as if he were slaying living men, and he stood in his chariot. Beside him stood Deimos (Fear) and Phobos (Flight), eager to plunge amidst the fighting men."
Hesiod, Shield of Heracles 216 ff :
"[Images engraved on the shield of Herakles :] And upon the awful heads of the Gorgones great Phobos (Fear) was quaking."
Historical cult:
Phobos and Deimos were not commonly venerated deities throughout ancient Greece but because they were 'a key element' of war, individuals would conduct sacrifices to their name on battlefields to earn their favour or in other places where war had taken place (Spartans were said to do this but not only).
The classical texts do speak of a few cases in relation to the worship of the twins.
According to Plutarch, Alexander the Great offered sacrifices to Phobos on the eve of the Battle of Gaugamela, perhaps asking for Darius III to be filled with fear. Darius was said to have fled from the field of Gaugamela, making Alexander's praying to Phobos seem successful as a tactic.
And again, on Plutarch's account, Theseus offered a sacrifice to Phobos before joining the battle with Amazon during their invasion of Athens.
Stesichorus claimed that Kyknos, son of Ares who lived in Thessaly beheaded strangers who came along in order to build a temple to Phobos using their skulls.

Meat
Wine
Bones (fake, real, whatever tickles your fancy, I guess)
Skulls/depictions of skulls
Weapons, shields, armour/images of said things
Something resembling blood (some juice maybe?)
Depictions of horses, lions and bulls
Facing your fears
Writing down things you're afraid of on a piece of paper and offering it to them
Learning how to deal with strong emotions in a healthy manner
Learning about war and its effects
Martial arts
Physical activity
Reading their mythology
Go-cart racing (a more feral offering, cause who's got a chariot nowadays, right? 🥲)
Black coffee
Energy drinks
Honestly, it doesn't have to be extra fancy. You can get pretty creative.
Epithets
There aren't many ancient epithets related to Phobos and Deimos, however in Hesiod's Theogony they are both called "terrible" and "shield-piercing", literary epithets, both of which have also been used in ancient texts when speaking of their father, Ares.
Aeschylus also refers to Phobos as "the one who delights in blood", and paints an image of a boastful warrior who's quick to announce his victory before the battle has even truly begun.
Here's a great post with epithets you could also use: LINK and I highly recommend you check out the authors blog, too.
And another great post about devotional acts, offerings, etc. by the same person: LINK
Ares, Deimos and Nike, Greco-Roman Orbe Floor Mosaic C3rd A.D.
Some more facts
The word "phobia" derives from phobos (Φοβος), meaning fear.
On the modern monument to the battle of Thermopylae, as well as the one at the city of Sparta, Leonidas' shield has a representation of Deimos.
By Semos of Delos, Deimos was attributed to being the father of Skylla by Krataiis (which was also said to be a surname of Hekate)
The two moons of the planet Mars are named Phobos and Deimos
If you have any questions about Phobos and Deimos, worshipping them or working with them, feel free to ask in DMs or wherever you want and I'll be happy to answer them! :)

Quick note: Do not work with deities from closed cultures if you’re not from said culture. It’s not cool, everybody.
Card One: Introductions
Fairly straightforward. This card is the deity introducing themself. This is the stage where you should verify and make certain you know who you’re working with.
Card Two: Shaking Hands
This card represents the deity’s first impression of you. What energy are you bringing to the table? What do they see when they look into you?
Card Three: Have We Met?
Has this deity had their eye(s) on you? Is this their first time you’ve piqued their interest, or have they hung around since childhood? Some deities may refuse to answer this question or redirect.
Card Four: The Nature
The general tone of your relationship. This is a general feeling that both you and the deity bring to the table.
Card Five: Before I Go…
What advice or wisdom does the deity have to impart on you? This could be a nod of encouragement, a stern talking to, or even just a casual shrug.
Card Six: In The End
The ultimate outcome of the relationship you’re seeking with this deity. Like the first card, fairly self explanatory.
Hey all! This is the first custom tarot spread I’m posting online! I might do more of these in the future! I’m super nervous, and I hope this is helpful to somebody out there. Have a good one!

I realized that Brady and Mac from Teen Beach Movie are simply the teenage versions of Jake and Amy from Brooklyn Nine-Nine. I have no proof, but no doubts either.

¿Y qué importa si no es real?
"¿Y qué importa si no es real?",
dije un día de mala suerte,
donde la vida hecha carretera
dejó en aquella orilla un nombre ausente.
Acostumbrada a armar historias
que no dirían nada consecuente
grabándose siempre en mi memoria
una y otra vez, de manera permanente,
me encuentro a mi misma dudando
y nuevamente imaginando
conversaciones que quedan
en el éter de mis recuerdos flotando.
Me encuentro a mi misma extrañando,
añorando una sola palabra suya,
de una voz que no he conocido
ni me es familiar por más que la intuya.
Me encuentro a mi misma llorando,
esperando el calor de su abrazo,
aunque su cuerpo tan desconocido
sea incapaz de seguirme los pasos.
"¿Y qué importa si no es real?"
Sólo me quedaré con ganas de abrazarte.
Aunque sea imaginarte
una vez más ya es compañía.
Si no es real, no existe preocupación
en cómo hablarte debería
como es que establecería
un vínculo que nos una de manera tal
que me hagas falta día a día
incluso en mi imaginación.
Ares, may you protect our Chilean brothers and sisters in these dangerous times. Protect them from the evil tongues of the government. Protect them from their guns and tear gasses. Protect them from their leaders for they have no trouble giving the orders to shoot teenagers. Protect them all for they are in need of your shield and once the time for protection is over feast on those who would gladly murder children.
Some millenial: You still listen to Bon Jovi? But that guy's old!
Blonde boy, who's actually Apollo in disguise: Well your mom's old too, but you listen to her right?
