Hello! I never do posts like this on any of my socials even though I mean to, so I'm gonna finally give this a shot! This might be really long Imao
About my blog:
This blog is about my helpol practices. I specifically post about visual kei at @bangyao-vkei and personal stuff @toastyghostiebroski
About me:
I go by many names, but my main username online is Imagineee. I most commonly use Lucian (Luci)/Ciel. My pronouns are he/him! I'm currently 17.
I'm on the aroace spectrum and pansexual, as well as a gender non-conforming transmasc. I don't really identify as anything specific when it comes to gender, but I'm definitely not a girl! (Don't she/her me... Pls. β₯οΉβ₯)
I've been practicing on and off for over a year now, but I still have lots I need/want to learn.

Favorite music:
I listen to pretty much everything. But some of my favorite musicians/groups outside of vkei are Eve, Re:nG, takayan, Gesu No Kiwami Otome, Linkin Park, kikuo, MCR, Cage the Elephant, and Eyedress. I have too many favorites, but it's so hard to cut down because I listen to such a variety of music, and I love it all. Ahhhh

My MBTI is ISFJ (used to be INFP-T) My star sign is leo. I use emoticons sometimes. I use :3 and >:3 unironically whenever I'm really happy or excited about something. I own four budgies and two dogs. I also have PTSD and really bad social anxiety. I really want to go to Japan and see a vkei band live one day.

what are some of your favourite ways to do offerings?

β’ INCENSE!!!! INCENSE IS GOATED!!!! historically nice smells were a huge part of offerings. for this same reason i do incorporate simmer pots into my practice sometimes when i am low on incense for my burner because boiling the fruits and spices in water lets of nice smells and the steam and smell from it can then act in a similar vain to essential oils or burning incense.
these are just a few that i personally like in my practice!

Yall, I'm making too many sideblogs but I'm making another. (I like organization, ok?)
I'm cleaning up this acc and making a more personal blog so I can rant into the void. I'll @ it in a reblog once I've created it and cleaned this acc up! Just wanted to say something, so nobody was shocked at stuff disappearing from my page, lol

me, praying: βlet your deadly arrows strike the evildoers and tormenters in this world, as you have done so valiantly before. vanquisher of evil, shine light on us mortals, and free us from oppressive forces, remind us how you got your epithets!β
Apollon: ββ¦ youβve gotta stop asking me to kill politiciansβ
me: βplease just one arrow you know exactly where to aim itβ
they scream as i lay in front of my altar whispering to father Apollon about my day and how much i enjoy his presence and what iβm going to do to honour him in the best way i can
( - A silly little poem I wrote in a minute or two with nature and the sun in mind)
A soft wind blows
Pulling a field of gold
The leaves sway and rustle
A silent moment
Under the blue
All alone
Not lonely
Just quiet
My heart pounds with admiration
Another wind blows
Pushing long stalks of blond
I feel the motion around me
Found,
I've been
I dedicate this one to Lord Apollo. I prayed to him very recently, asking for guidance in life and my artistic endeavors. I promised I'd dedicate work to him in return. I've been feeling rather inspired lately, and this random burst of writing I got while he was on my mind leads me to believe my prayers have been heard. I thank Apollon. π
This is an original poem. Please don't repost elsewhere! (At least not without credit or permission.) Thanks to @enchanthings-a for the dividers. I reblogged their post of the dividers.
I was wondering if anyone knows about Google Docs alternatives with similar features/tools but more organization? Or just an alternative in general. I just need a better place to store my digitally written poetry
