💀 My Links 💀 36 yo. Halloween is my gender, and I practice idolatry about that. Readings, spells, sigils, and witch shit. Nazis, TERFs, transmeds, minors DNI, you will be blocked. Mature content.

every sufficiently jaded chronically ill person is allowed to make jokes about faking medical emergencies to get their loved ones out of work obligations. it’s in the handbook

[crippled-peeper]

tell your boss you have to race home immediately, and that it’s an emergency involving a very sick person, because I want to play Minecraft with you and I am sad.

[modernidolater]

I... literally just did this with my sister, who's my caregiver. She was trapped in a really bad remote meeting and I leaned in and was like, "just tell them I'm really extra sick today so you can log off and play WoW."

What are your favorite vegetables?

[modernidolater]

Have only tasted, not grown, but I saw a ridiculously persuasive master gardner video talking about how if you have a temperate or moderate climate, sunchoke will outperform potatoes, keeps in the ground, and has a billionty uses.

It is so disturbing how every time a disabled person is brutally murdered by their caregiver, the conversation revolves around what we can do to give more support to caregivers and not the welfare of disabled people and how to give people with disabilities more agency and support in escaping abusive and neglectful situations. Don’t get me wrong, caregiving is hard but I am so tired of the “I feel so bad for the caregiver, their life was so rough and then they just snapped :(” narrative and not acknowledging that the disabled individual was uniquely vulnerable and completely at the whim of someone who despised them, felt they had no inherent worth and killed them. The rates of abuse experienced by disabled people are always conveniently left out of the narrative. So often it’s twisted into something justifiable, that you should relate to the murderer and not the victim. It is so sick.

Ars Goetia demons when you research them: Grand duke of HELL, commander of xy legions of demons, superior spirit, destrOyer of empires, he will rip out your tongue and eat it if you disrespect him!

Vs.

Ars Goetia demon when you actually meet them: "I do in fact love nature very much, everything beautiful and grotesque within it. I do also really love that drawing you made of me, lemme seeeeee, wow that's so cool, when will you make more?"

[modernidolater]

Srsly tho

[gravecanine]

people spend too much time angry and frustrated with how others worship. it becomes embarrassing, however, when they present their opinions (which are rooted in their own personal biases) as “right,” citing times where particular items did not exist and being presumptuous regarding the deities feelings on offerings the person doesn’t agree with. the gods do not exist solely at a specific time period, they exist in all. were they to disapprove of an offering, the devotee will likely know. you can stick to recorded items but you should recognize when your beliefs become tainted with your own preconceived notions that then are projected onto others

Hello there, can I ask about MS's sexual fantasies about me (If you do nsfw readings, I'm 25. We're girls)

If don't, kindly change the ask to "Is MS my future spouse?" I choose the Star Wars deck

Thank you, from N <3

"good, good...let the hate flow"

Seems like a bit of corruption fantasy, maybe some overstim or overload, touch of consent play, D/s perhaps?

(also, i thought for half a hot second you'd picked Garfield and (while I have zero objection to NSFW readings with Garfield) my soul left my body for a moment)

[modernidolater]

Hi! How are you?

This might be a silly question but I have a little moth named Doris. Doris was born on 15th of february(she is now 9 days old) and unfortunately, her little life is coming to an end. I know you might find it silly, but i truly love Doris. She is a sweet little moth.

The reason I have her is because I found her as a caterpillar in the fridge, she must have came from a store. I cared for her for months during her caterpillar, cocoon and now moth stages. For some reason, Doris was born without wings, so I couldnt let her go as planned. She is a species garden tiger moth.

Im really worried she didnt like her life, I tried my best to have her live in comfort. I let her walk around freely. I took her on walks outside. Her box was big and as natural as possible. Is she happy? Does she like her life? Does she like me? Does she feel safe?

Thank you. Im kh, cancer sun, leo rising

Hi,

First, sorry your friend's days are coming to a close. That's always hard.

Second, ya didn't specify a deck, and honestly, I'd rather just be real with you here.

Doris most likely had a great time. Like, she's just chillin on your hand, moths aren't super known for being casual with humans, so just that looks like she's cool with you.

But also, she has no wings, hun. She wouldn't have had a life without you. Walks outside, her own house safe from predators, freedom to zip around in safety, and a big friendly fae-thing taking care of her?

That moth went caterpillar mode expecting to go as hard as possible to get shit done and woke up in a mansion with a butler.

Yah, I think your little friend had the best time she could, and she seems to like you, so. Good on you.

hi, i would like to enjoy your new game.

my question is: will i get this job in marketing?

i have an interview tomorrow.

i'm E, i choose garfield and ty.

Well, that's not ideal. 9 Spades ain't a cheerful sight, and Garfield agrees. Don't know if you've gotten an answer back yet, but it seems like things are headed for discomfort, and you'll need to move on to find a better place to be.

[modernidolater]

Hi, hope you're fine. I would like to ask for a Garfield tarot reading about how my future wife will treat me

Thanks in advance 😊

Well, it's a heart, so that's not a bad start! Looks like there'll be some clinginess, but also your FW will be there to reality check you and make sure you're going in the right direction. Just gotta make sure those don't edge into possessiveness and emotional dismissal.

Quietly losing my mind over the fact that Elon Musk has straight up orchestrated a coup of our executive branch and like....I don't even know what, if any, system we have in place to fix this. Like... He's just taken control of the money and locked out the actual appointed officials. What the fuck.

[rederiswrites]

Nazis are taking over my government, and like, not even just the Nazis we fucking elected! And I'm...making hamburgers? Because somebody has to make dinner? I just feel completely unhinged.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

I think that's how random civillians generally feel in these situations. Someone's gotta make dinner.

[lizardlicks]

If you're wondering, there is plenty to be done about it, and plenty being done about it already, even if it's not happening instantly in a way you can perceive.

Is Somebody Doing Something?!

Yes. Let me break it down for you.

[rederiswrites]

Reblogging because this is an excellent article that both tells you about some of what's being done and breaks it down in a way that will help you understand and think about future action. Please read!

Hi! So I watched Hellraiser 4: Bloodline (a good movie) and there’s a scene set at the very end of the 18th century where two guys are summoning a demon using absolute nonsense Latin. What language would they actually be using for that purpose in that time period? I and my favorite discord server need to know!

nonsense latin for magic is completely appropriate for any time period after the founding of rome lol.

[modernidolater]

Fuk ye! So, when reading old grimoires, you frequently find these long chants that are just utter garbage nonsense, just sounds strung together in a vaguely word-like way.

That, dear friends, is the Barbarous Tongue.‡

It's an invocative/evocative spell language...created by the Romans. Those words are actual words, but they've done the thing of saying the word over and over til it loses all meaning and context, and then riffing on the sound until it sounds cool and like your native language.

Essentially, it's the Ancient Roman equivalent of Ermahgerd, Ubbi-Dubbi, or (if you add a dialectical bent to it) Lolcatz.

Which they then used to summon demons, curse the berjeezor out of their enemies, and generally Get Up To Shenanigans.

So not only is that entirely historically accurate, but also means that if you wish to emulate the Ancient Roman Magi (/s), you shouldn't be using Latin, you should be using Pig Latin.

‡ Note: the actual Barbarous Tongue is generally the names of deities from other contemporaneous cultures, so trynna use the Roman Barbarous Tongue is a bit of a roulette wheel spin.

[genderqueerdykes]

im sorry rad fems sold you the lie that butches are only Non Threatening (TM) cis women with short hair who wear T-shirts and jeans with a carabiner, but the reality of the situation is a lot of butches are trans, genderqueer, physically imposing, big, male impersonators, hairy (especially including facial hair), sweaty, muscular, "ugly" and/or fat. some butches are into extreme body modification. some went bald. some are body builders. some are transfem butches who don't wanna overperform womanhood, take estrogen, or medically transition. some butches start testosterone strictly to feel more like a butch. some butches pass as cis men, and some need to do so in order to feel like their butch selves. soft butches are great, but that's not the "One Right Way" to be butch. the butches i'm attracted to would make a rad fem scream and cry and piss themselves on the floor.

[iadoptmanynames]

Yeah, I do feel like being the transfem who still likes masculine stuff and likes to give off masculinity once in a while, it just gets translated into hetero as "cismale" and that is far from the case. The love that I give to my partners is sapphic, not straight.

[modernidolater]

My ex's mother was a cis, straight woman who presented entirely masc. I genuinely mistook her for his father on first meeting, and was confused due his father being fuckin dead. It was notable and conversation-worthy when she was addressed as "ma'am" in public rather than "sir."

It was in fact so notable that in the hospital as she was dying, the nurses--who very definitely knew the score--still slipped and called her Sir.

I am aware there is some DiscourseTM around whether straight women can be called butch, but like. She is to this day the most butch woman I ever met who still identified entirely as a woman. And also, she was perfectly sympathetic to gender issues cause the fuckin' TERFs came for her multiple times.

Helluva a lady, and I've yeeted the ex, but I still miss his mom.
