@gay-on-straight
Support the BLM movement. Black people were the backbone of the pro-LGBTQ+ protests and riots in the 1960’s and without them, we would not have the rights that we have today. The LGBTQ+ community is an inclusive one, and it has no place for racism. We need to be loud and we need to be heard #BlackLivesMatter
hey. do kora please
Absolutely!!
Request (Discord)
End of this short batch of requests! Still send them in, I’m just taking a break to work on something else!
Recalling recent endeavors with @starri-skiies
Not exactly what you asked for but it’s all I could think of.
Request (Discord)
An affectionate Iris with a bonus flustered Dr. Constance! <3
@x-moonstar-x
Uhhh hey gamers I'm taking requests. Mostly ocs, but feel free to take a shot at other characters. Each request will receive a clean sketch. If you want a specific line color, let me know in your ask!!
Congrats on 70 followers @starri-skiies!! Decided to try this out. Really I just love Arabelle and thought this would be fun to do! Bonus gif based of the older art <3
just fucking kill yourself instead of fishing for notes all the fucking time.
wow that post is old im not fishing for notes tbh your just making a fucking big deal about it
Hey, Anon, thats a real person your telling to kill themselves. You don't know what they've been through, and you dont know whats going on in their lives. They arent fishing for notes, they're looking for someone who cares. They are wondering if there is someone out there who will help. And we are all here to help. You wouldnt give yourself a good reputation if you had the words "i pushed someone to suicide because i had the ignorance to do it" written on your head.
Just a reminder that anon hate is ILLEGAL. If you’re being rude on anonymous, you know what you’re saying is harmful and you want to hide your tracks. If you feel the need to do that, DON’T SEND THAT ASK. Anonymous asks are fine, anonymous hate is admitting you know you’re being indecent and you don’t want to be exposed for doing it. If you don’t want people tracking you down for saying something maligning, don’t say it at all.
My legacy.
This one's for you @cryinq-skiies
Another character design. Her name is Constance, as you may have figured. And yes her personality is slightly inspired by Overhaul's, fight me.
Shocker

Foodie Friday: Vegan Mushroom and Miso Stew
Ingredients -2 large portobello mushrooms, cubed -2 cups quartered white mushrooms -2 carrots, sliced -1 celery stalk, chopped -2-3 potatoes, cubed -2 cloves garlic, crushed -2 bay leaves -1 zucchini, chopped -1 onion, chopped -¼ cup flour -1 tbsp red miso paste -1 tbsp rosemary -2 tsp soy sauce -1 tsp A-1 sauce (or, if not vegan, Worcestershire sauce) -1 tbsp tomato paste -1 ½ cups water -Paprika to taste -Salt and Pepper to taste
1) In a large slow cooker, add all of your vegetables. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, rosemary, paprika, salt and pepper until evenly distributed. Add this on top of the vegetables.
2) In a separate bowl, combine water, miso, soy sauce, steak sauce, and tomato paste until homogeneous. Pour over the vegetables and give a stir to combine everything and coat the vegetables.
3) Add bay leaves, cover, and cook on low setting for 10 hours or high setting for 6 hours. Halfway through cooking, give another stir.
Chef’s Note: While this stew is delicious on its own, it is definitely benefited by adding dumplings, gnocchi, or bread!
Magical Ingredient
So for some who may not know, I’ve been at a little bit of a standstill when it comes to cooking at home. Renovations have resulted in having the entire kitchen pulled out and replaced, leaving us with only a microwave, a refrigerator, and a slow cooker. Many people would see this as an excuse to go out and try new restaurants, but I saw it in two ways: 1) I don’t know what to do with myself now that I don’t have a kitchen to spend time in, and 2) I am being faced with the challenge of creating interesting and delicious slow cooker concoctions.
This mushroom miso stew is the first real success in doing this, and has gone over rather well with the household. As usual, there was a certain bit of magic going into it as I assembled and prepared the ingredients, and among these ingredients are carrots - a root vegetable that, surprisingly, I haven’t yet covered. We’re all very familiar with them, having grown up with them as snacks in school or as appetizers on veggie platters. We cook with them all the time, add them to our salads, and pretend to be bunnies when we hold them. Wait… you don’t do that? Don’t lie. You totally do.
Anyway, like any vegetable, carrots have a role to play in witchcraft, and have a long history which brought them to where they are today. The sweet, juicy taproots that we consume today are the result of selective breeding over centuries from a subspecies of wild carrot which likely originated in Persia. Wild carrot species often have more bitter and woody roots, and were harvested for their seeds and leaves instead of their roots. As a family of plants, carrots are closely related to some other fairly familiar herbs and roots - parsnip, fennel, parsley, dill, et cetera.
Trading of the seeds brought them to Europe as early as 3000 BC, but domesticated varieties as we know them today began to gain popularity around the 8th century when the Moors introduced it to Spain. And these bright orange vegetables spread throughout Europe, appearing in the Netherlands and colonial America by the 17th century. (Fun fact: during World War II, rumors began to spread that eating more carrots can increase night vision. This is ultimately false, used to cover intelligence regarding advances in military technology.)
In witchcraft, many new witches may have been seeing uses for carrots without even realizing it. Queen Anne’s Lace - a herbaceous plant with beautiful clusters of flowers - is frequently used for fertility spells, but is actually a wild species of carrot. (I should note that this is specifically referring to daucus carota. In Europe, be certain that you’re not mixing it up with anthriscus sylvestris, or cow parsley.) Like the domesticated carrot, all parts of the plant are edible (the root while still young, the flowers when battered and fried, and the leaves in small quantities). Historically, the plant has been used for contraception and as the herbal equivalent of a morning after treatment. Today, it is certainly not recommended for this.
When harvesting wild Queen Anne’s Lace, particular care should be taken, especially in Europe and the Americas, as the leaves and flowers are very similar in size and shape to poisonous hemlock, water hemlock, and fool’s parsley - all of which are highly toxic. In addition, caution should be taken when using wild Queen Anne’s Lace leaves, as it can sometimes cause phytophotodermatitis - extreme sunlight sensitivity on the skin which can result in easy burning and blistering.
For magic, carrots and Queen Anne’s Lace can be used interchangeably, making them an easy starting plant for the new witch (and from here on out, I’ll be referring to both simply as carrot). The first and (I feel) most easily noticeable use for the roots is for fertility. The phallic shape can represent masculine fertility, and the roots can be used to increase sexual desire. By extension, the plant can then be used to promote lust. Its ease of growth and proliferation further promotes these links to fertility.
As a plant which tends to be bright and very noticeable even as others are drying up can be linked to feminine independence, as well. Use the flowers to decorate altars to goddesses, and in spells to promote femininity and independence.
As an herbal medicine, wild carrot can also help with easing water retention, removing excess minerals which contribute to kidney stones, and treating some forms of diabetes. These qualities link the plant to releasing stagnant or pent up energies. Meditation on the plant can help promote this aspect of its nature, and the same concept can be used by using the flower clusters to asperge during cleansing.
In cooking, I of course exclusively use domestic carrot, but all of the magical qualities carry over. The root can be used for fertility and lust, but my most common use for it is for cleansing. In cooking, carrots add another lovely quality to magic. They are natural sweeteners. For instance, my mushroom miso stew is filled to the brim with savory and umami flavors, but they would be overpowering if the celery, potatoes, and carrots weren’t added. The celery mellows out the saltiness, the potatoes absorb the savory, and the carrots sweeten the medley. As a result, they can be used not only for cleansing, but for gently lifting the mood and sweetening the home, body, and mind.
Overall, carrots can be found practically anywhere when cooking or shopping, and while we ingest them regularly, I find that they’re often underappreciated both in magic and in food. So next time you reach for that ranch dip, take a moment to consider how much good the carrot is bringing into your life!

Warming Autumn Soup
My all time favorite season is just around the corner, so I figured with all these soup recipes floating around that I’d post my own! I make this all the time when it’s cold, and the leftovers are amazing too. Feel free to adjust the ingredients to your liking.
Ingredients:
2 cups of water
2 cups of chicken stock
2 cans of cream of chicken (one of the ONLY canned goods I ever use, they’re just so, s o bad for you that I avoid them as much as possible)
¾ Cup of milk
3 Bay leaves
1 tablespoon of pepper
1 tablespoon salt
1 Tablespoon Fresh Rosemary
1 Tablespoon Fresh Basil
1 Tablespoon Fresh Oregano
1 Tablespoon Fresh Sage
You can substitute the above ingredients with dried herbs/seasonings or just use 2 tablespoons of italian seasoning
1 Cup of carrots cut into circles
2 cups of yellow or red (or both) potatoes
½ Cup of green beans
½ Cup of corn
4 cloves of diced garlic
½ cup of diced onions
(For a quick and easier recipe, you can use ½ tablespoon of garlic powder and onion powder and use frozen veggies of your choice. I’d prefer it if you stay away from anything else canned, though, just because canned foods are so bad for you. Work with what you have, though! If canned is all that you can get right now, go for it.)
2 large chicken breasts cut up into bite size pieces
Steps:
First cook the chicken pieces until they’re white both inside and out! You do this by boiling it, cooking it in a pan, baking, however you want! Feel free to season it a bit if you want to add more flavor to the meat, but it’s not required at this step!
While the chicken is cooking (I usually boil my chicken) go ahead and prepare your vegetables. Since this is a witchy stew, I like to ground myself and think happy thoughts while I’m doing this step. I always wish for whoever I’m making this soup for enjoys it and feels great afterwards.
Once this is done, get a large pot ready and put it on the stove at high heat. Go ahead and add in your water, herbs, chicken stock, veggies, seasonings, and cooked chicken, then cover with a lid. You could cook the chicken at this part, but I just like to cook if beforehand because you can never be too careful when cooking chicken. Beef is okay rare and stuff, but poultry HAS to be cooked all the way through or you could easily get sick. Stir occasionally.
Now you can just sit here and chill, maybe say a chant if you’d like while you wait for the veggies to cook. This should take about 20-25 minutes for them all to be cooked through. Honestly this is my favorite part because the house just smells amazing while it’s all cooking.
Once it’s done turn the heat down to low-medium and wait for it to stop boiling before you add in your cream of chicken and milk. I do this part last because any other time I add it these two ingredients in it always turns out with the milk curdling or getting weird.
I add in the cream of chicken to give it a little extra thickness. 1 can for semi-thickness and 2 for super good thickness. Add in however much you like. Now just sit there and put it on low completely with the lid on, stirring occasionally, until it’s all mixed in and nice and thick.
And tada! It’s done and now you have some delicious soup for the chilly days and nights. when Autumn rolls around this year I’m gonna try and make some homemade bread to go with it. If I do I’ll post or link the recipe on this blog.
I hope you enjoyed this recipe.
