The god Vira (the god of all men, including those in the animal kingdom) and his mortal lover, and priest(in training), Caner (who is about early 20s here).

The peacock is Vira’s sacred animal and like all of my gods is a mesh between one of his symbols, (not all of the gods are a mesh between their sacred animal but another symbol) his hair is feathers and while his tail is natural he magically make it appear to be the fabric of his outfit. Also yes they are gay. Women are his sisters domain so looking at them to him feels like looking at his sister and he’s not for that. Men on the other hand are a part of him, so having male lovers is loving a part of himself.

As for why caner has blue eyes it’s due to being Vira’s priest (in training), and channeling magic though vira. So in my world all magic comes from a god, it also changes the body of the caster. If you channel magic though the god of fire your skin starts to look like ash, when angry your hair may catch fire, but the first sign is your eyes changing colors to match the god of the magic you use. Most people have multicolored eyes but high priests are barred from using magic outside of that that can be cast though their god.

Cyrus finally at home from the hospital after his torture at the hands of the stone oak coven. (From my fanfic lol) (also yes this is where all of his wounds are in the fic as well.)

So for context before my rant/reminder I am an Hellenic pagan, or someone who worships the Greek gods. My patron is Lord Dionysus, but I do worship the other Greek gods. Including Aphrodite and Apollo. I give thanks to Apollo on bright sunny days, or when im getting over a sickness. I honor Aphrodite when I do my personal hygiene and pick out my outfits. My relationship to the gods is incredibly important to me. I read the myths, I listen to the scholars who are able to explain ancient customs, of what each myth is trying to teach the ancient people and how to apply it to everyday life nowadays. I say all of this as my background for what I’m about to say as it is slightly critical of Alongi and the community, though I do not mean it to be I just do not know how to express what I’m needing to say in a kinder way.

Alongi is getting purposely, to tell her story, telling the myth wrong. Which, to that I mostly don’t care about it as like most Hellenic pagans I do not follow myth literalism. I refuse to read myth retellings bc I keep getting told to kill myself but I’ll get farther into that in a bit. But I recognize that the myth is taking the gods and using them to teach the morals and values of the culture and era that it originated from or was being retold by. It’s why Medusa has several origins. The one where she was once mortal is Roman and made to paint the Greek gods in a poor light. But that being said I am also someone who has lived through many different publications of many different myth based stories, and like I said above I am tired of being told to kill myself due to them. I hope that will not happen with Alongi’s community but it happened every single myth based story I know of, such as lore Olympus (fuck it was bad with lore Olympus), achilles, Circe… As well as with PJO and epic, both of which had creators with a similar “vibe” (open mindedness, and good will) to Alongi so I’m not going to hope very much.

You do not know the myth just because you watched her video, nor will you know the myth because you read “Monstrous”. Do not tell Hellenic pagans that we are wrong about our own religion. You will do nothing but look like an ass and get yourself blocked, ignored, ghosted or punched depending on the person and how you are interacting. If we are having a conversation or discussion about our thoughts on the book do not tell pagans that we are stupid and spreading hate. Do not call us victims for disagreeing with how it’s being presented. Grant us the same respect you would a Christian if Alongi was writing about a Christian myth.

I am more than happy to farther explain in the comments if you want more clarification but I will not argue. I will delete comments if they are being an asshole for my own sanity.

But please know I love Alongi and am Not trying to bash on her or on anyone here. I’m simply reminding ppl to be respectful to others bc for some reason everytime a myth based story comes out, everyone forgets how to act.

Fan art I made of young Bob and her dad(oc). (yes he’s wearing a golden shoe. I like it lol)

[darknessa040625]

Intro & Disclaimer for my recipes

Welcome to my little collection of baked goods — a mix of recipes I’ve made over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose, and almost always without exact measurements. I tend to bake more by instinct, observation, and a general sense of “that looks right” than by weighing every gram. I know the traditional baking world swears by precision, but frankly, that’s not how I operate, and so far, no one has complained — quite the opposite, actually.

Most of what you’ll find here isn’t a “formal” recipe so much as a combination of ingredients, occasional method notes, and some pictures of the final results. Measurements will often be approximate, and you might see words like “gradually add” or “until it looks like…” — so if you like strict structure, this may test your patience (but hopefully also your creativity).

These recipes are, by design or happy accident, often safe for diabetics, people with egg allergies, and anyone with gluten sensitivity. Many are also adaptable for vegan diets — just swap honey for maple syrup, agave, or plain sugar; use plant-based milk instead of dairy; and switch to vegan butter if you prefer. I personally stick with honey most of the time because, while the nutrient content is small, it does contain trace vitamins and minerals that regular sugar doesn’t.

Eggs don’t make an appearance here — originally this was a money-saving choice when egg prices spiked, but it became a habit. For binding agents, I use bananas (fair warning: the banana flavor will be noticeable), pumpkin puree, chia seeds soaked in liquid, and ground flaxseed mixed with hot water until gel-like. The latter three are especially useful for a neutral flavor and long shelf life, plus they bring extra nutritional benefits.

A lot of these recipes are sugar-free or reduced-sugar and often gluten-free or reduced-gluten. This began as a project to create baked goods my diabetic grandmother could enjoy, and it expanded from there. I experimented with gluten-free flours early on, found they worked well, and just kept using them.

Here’s the funny thing — I don’t even eat most of what I bake. I’m a picky eater, but I love the process and the feedback from others has been overwhelmingly positive. Baking for me has become a small act of love, a way to give people something comforting or special. Most of my “learning” has been self-directed, a mix of research and inspiration from others. A few recipes are adapted from or inspired by videos — especially The Cafaè Latte series by CM Alongi and the channel Eats History — but many ideas simply pop into my head out of nowhere.

Baking and cooking have also turned into a much-needed form of stress relief. With the world feeling like it’s been on a steady nosedive, my chaotic, instinct-driven baking style has been a way to reclaim a bit of control. There’s something deeply satisfying about kneading dough when you’re frustrated — it’s like edible anger management. And at the end of it, you’ve got something warm, comforting, and (hopefully) delicious to show for it.

So take these “recipes” as flexible blueprints rather than strict rules. Adapt, experiment, make mistakes, and embrace the mess — the joy is in the process as much as the final bite.

Nicole in her everyday wear and as a fae (may be a fic…, eventually)

(I realized I never posted these here😅😅😅)

Some Janine fanart I started yesterday as appreciation for her being a massive badass, and traumatizing those homophobes/the preacher and jackass kid.

I posted this on Reddit a few hours ago but forgot to post it here.

What arcs would you like to see the aftermath of in my fan fic, “A Fairy’s Past”

I’m going through and I’m trying to fill in a few of the sections that I don’t exactly know I’m going to do yet in “a fairy’s past”. For the 2000s section, I decided that I would do one or two that are early 2000s, and then the rest would be essentially continuation of arcs, like what happens when Bob and Cyrus go home. Or perhaps something that happened, but was only mentioned, but not shown(Like Halloween). Any arc/suggestion has to be from right around or before when Cyrus and Rethu got together!

DPxDC Prompt: Open Invitation

Every ghost in the Zone and out of the Zone knows about the Christmas Truce. The single day of no fighting has lasted since Christmas had been called Yuletide and other names, that every single ghost respected it and tried to make it, especially if they weren’t in the Infinite Realms. After all, when you were dead, it was fun to have a little party and cut loose without fighting and where any grudges or rivalries were temporarily suspended.

And despite being ghosts who mostly resided in the living realm, Deadman, Gentleman Ghost, Marilyn Moonlight, Lady Gotham and other ghosts like them all attended the Christmas Truce party—once, Lady Gotham had brought Solomon Grundy, and no one cared. He may be a zombie, but undead was still dead and Grundy was more halfa-adjacent if it came down to technicalities, and had been welcome there ever since. JLD, of course, had an open invitation due to their association with Deadman (though Constantine tried to avoid the Ancient of Time he hooked up with one—okay, several—times), and after Danny started attending after the Ghostwriter incident, his fraid had an open invitation too, despite how half of them were still among the living (not like it mattered anyway, since they were liminal enough to count as ghostly)

It was due to Danny’s, and later Dani’s, attendance that Lady Gotham and Deadman realised they knew a halfa, who the Truce party’s open invitation extended to even though he didn’t know. And being in the pure ectoplasm of the Realms might help the halfa with the issues of his core and the damage the Lazarus Pit had done to it, and the Phantom twins would be thrilled at meeting him, that all three weren’t alone.

So, on Christmas Eve, Lady Gotham and Deadman go into Crime Alley and bring Red Hood into the Ghost Zone to where the Truce party is being held at (re: kidnap him)

Jason has no idea where he is, who these strange, glowing people are aside from Grundy or why they’re all drinking what looks to be Lazarus Water or why he feels better than he has in years since he came back, but for some reason he doesn’t feel like he’s in danger and like a part of him belongs here, and these people haven’t batted a single eye around him and are instead encouraging him to let loose and drink some shots and have some fun, it’s a Truce party after all. And when in Rome, right?

Danny rocks up a couple hours later and has no idea why the regular human vigilante Red Hood is in the Ghost Zone or drinking ectoplasm while having the time of his life and is internally freaking out and not having a single clue that he’s a potential halfa. Yet (Dani knows, having arrived before both of them and Deadman had let her know right before he and Lady Gotham had brought Jason, and is having the time of her life meeting another halfa despite how gross his core feels and seeing Danny lose his mind before he realises, too)

Meanwhile, the Batfamily is low-key worried (read: high-key panicking) about Jason’s disappearance and trying to figure out where the hell he is.

A piece I did for a future chapter of my fanfiction.

The sliver king punishes the Lavender princess for the last time before banishing her from their realm.

Not Nicole in the background as JC is gushing lol

[purple-mushroom-cap]

in honor of merlin trending on a random monday in november, allow me to reiterate AGAIN how much magic in camelot parallels with the queer experience in a community that frankly treats queer children with almost the same hate and violence king uther had against sorcerers.

morgana thinks hating (sorcerers) is morally wrong and disproves of her bigoted father killing them all. she believes that despite what you were born with, you should judge someone based on their character. she figures out she's (a sorcerer). gaius gaslights her into thinking she's crazy. she goes to merlin, also (a sorcerer). he's about to tell her this secret that's been weighing on his chest for so long, that everyone told him to hide because people would look at him differently for being open about. the person he loves most in the world, in fact, might hate him for being honest. he ends up not telling morgana, even though he's the only one that would understand. morgause gives morgana unconditional love and affection after telling her she's (a sorcerer) too! morgana leaves her prejudiced and claustrophobic family life for a girl that's given her validation for the first time in years. (yes, i know morgause is her sister. love comes in all forms, especially the queer community.)

now replace every (sorcerer) with (gay).

Her coming was foretold in the ancient murals

i really wanna make a fanfic of the cafae latte self-insert oc ive had rattling around in my brain and im being stopped not by the fear of being seen as "cringe" or whatever [the fear is gone forever] but by the inability to be coherent

[darknessa040625]

I don’t have mine drawn yet, I wanna get all the actual characters done first but ok so I’ve got a few ocs, ones a hag who I’m calling Hag thistle, she specializes in healing type magic and is using it to extend her life by several centuries. Hag Thistle the little old lady that seems so sweet but oh my gods is she the most feral person you’ve ever met, she will give people the weird teeth growth things if they make her mad. I love her.

My actual self insert is a half harpy witch Named Alexandra(after the library) but she prefers the nickname Xandra. Her feathers are gonna be black with the oil like look of Raven wings. She’s a graphic design major taking online classes at the same college JC goes to. Xandra can fly if she learned how but she was never taught so she’s a bit bitter and typically keeps her wings glamored away(what Oscar does with his, tho she doesn’t let hers out nearly often enough). She’s a regular at the cafae(duh lol) and her favorite order is a mocha with either a hint of pixie dust or eldrich blood, depending on how much sleep she got the night before and how many projects she has due lol. Xandra has an annoying habit of subconsciously chattering when she’s bored or anxious(I’d say it’s a stim but I don’t have any diagnosis so neither does she). She has one elder sister. Her sister has agenesis of the corpus callosum (something my sister does have, not just made up for lore), which is why she really loves cafae latte bc it’s super welcoming for people like her sister.
