This work is about the joy and freedom that come with deconverting from an oppressive religion. I hope you enjoy!

Debates about belief/religion are not welcome. If you disagree, just keep scrolling :)

“Wow, yeah, I’ve never heard of that, it sounds really fucked up. Bet those perverts south of here would do it though”

This would have had me crucified on tumblr 10 years ago but maybe we are ready for this conversation now:

If you are a socially anxious person, you have to socialize. Your panic/anxiety attacks will only get worse and trigger more frequently if you constantly avoid contact with The Public. Not saying that you need to be a social butterfly- but there is a genuine problem with not being able to order your own meal at a restaurant. And it cannot be solved by always having someone else do it for you.

This is a PSA to about 3/4s of the Portland Youth populace

everyone who reblogs this and is like "I ordered my own tea this week" or "I only barfed once when I had to give a presentation'- you are doing amazing sweetie. Have patience with yourself, you are relearning a skill so difficult that people get 4 year degrees to do it professionally.

"bottom" please consider 🫵 whether the word you are looking for is in fact "submissive" ! because if we decide that taking dick means your personality & character r inherently subservient 😃 we might as well just throw in the towel on the most basic premise of feminism & 🔫 kill ourselves 🎉

I miss the days when, no matter how slow your internet was, if you paused any video and let it buffer long enough, you could watch it uninterrupted

If you use Firefox, you can go to the about:config page, search for "media.mediasource.enabled" and double click on it to set it to false. After you restart Firefox, all youtube videos will load entirely even when paused! This also affects other streaming websites :)

nyxgoddessofcandles

There's more to do actually, now

go to About:config find media.mediasource.enabled and toggle it to false find media.cache_readahead_limit and change it to 9999 find media.cache_resume_threshold and change it to 9999

additionally if you'd prefer mp4 to webm

also in about:config, find: media.encoder.webm.enabled media.mediasource.webm.audio.enabled media.mediasource.webm.enabled media.webm.enabled and toggle them all to false

note! this will limit video to 1080p

and use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/dont-accept-webp/ to kill WebP Fuck Google

Imagine saying "where sweets are baked, not bought" about the decade that invented blue raspberry

This is so funny. The 90s had the most absolutely heinous hyper processed candies. Unchallenged champion of checkout counter bullshit.

We were obsessed with making every sweet a powder, a goo, novelty shaped, or unbearably sour. Often some combination of the above. 90s sweets were utterly ridiculous and it was fantastic.

Characters that are so background they are barely visible on the horizon also deserve art.

Planar Tour Guide: Ethereal Plane part 2

(art by Erik Nykvist on Artstation)

Geography

As mentioned yesterday, the Ethereal plane doesn’t actually have a lot going on in terrain-wise. In fact, it doesn’t even have gravity. With barely any solid matter and no gravity, one would imagine that there’s no way to move. However, because of the psychically reactive nature of the plane, visitors without flight can will themselves to move at about half their normal speed in any direction.

When matter does appear in the In-Between, it takes the form of matter either brought in from another plane by magic, or as a psychic reflection of an emotionally resonant site on the material plane. What’s more, material objects and creatures can also be vaguely seen as indistinct and translucent shadows.

In any case, these structures that are brought in are often former or current strongholds of powerful mages, or else the creation of it’s denizens. The House of Itinerant Souls, for example, is a cathedral-like structure where lucky souls that haven’t moved on further along the path can find respite and collect themselves before continuing on, free from the fear of being consumed into true undeath. Meanwhile, phase spiders and xill alike have their own realms, such as the ether-spun Whisperweb and scavenged Varesk Gul respectively, or the structure-creature Xevnorvex, which serves as a living library and habitation for the caulborn.

Additionally, a vast mountain of sinister Phantasmagoria’s Maw, a mountainous complex of ectoplasm and manifested matter which is a labyrinth of traps, fear-maddened undead, and worse. This complex is the foothold of sakhils on the Ethereal Plane, with portals to their home realm of Xibalba and to the material plane. Worse still, the Maw moves, disappearing and remanifesting elsewhere so that sahkils can plague the entirety of the material plane.

It’s also worth mentioning ectoplasm, which is a substance formed when the mists of the ethereal interact with a soul, particularly when said souls push against the veil between ether and material. This can result in undead creatures coated in or made from the stuff, or web-like masses of the odorless, tasteless, cold gunk.

Moving on from the ethereal, the Dimension of Dreams can be vague and misty at times, but within dreamscapes and the Dreamlands, one can expect nearly anything, the terrain, the gravity, the terrain, and such all vary by who’s dream you are in. What’s more, because they are dreams, a person cannot normally travel their by plane shift, but rather, by lucid dreaming. Once you are in such a state, the impossible becomes possible if you have the will to make it so. However, normal magic can sometimes be wild and unpredictable.

The exception to this is Leng. While technically part of the Dreamlands, it is its own separate demiplane inhabited by it’s own set of horrors. It may be technically the dream of something so immensely powerful that it took on a life of it’s own, or perhaps a horrific playground made by one or more elder gods. Either way, the Plateau of Leng gives way to the Dreaming Shore and further mountains, and contains many settlements. However, they are filled with creatures of malice and madness, where a quick death a mercy compared to the horrible tortures, slavery, and madness that awaits survivors, all in the name of the Elder Gods.

Moving from one horror to another, Xibalba is the realm of the Sakhil. While one can find Phantasmagoria’s Maw and enter there, Xibalba can also be entered entirely by crossing over the demiplane’s border in the Ethereal or plane shifted into directly, to the horror of those who wander in. It appears to be a massive jungle hilltop on which rests a massive ruined city, where sakhil enjoy tormenting mortals and souls they have in their clutches, stripping them of hope and joy in this, the home of fear. There are even caverns below filled with even more horrors, including the Cave of the Bat, one of the homes of the bat god Camazotz. At the center of it all is the Black Pyramid, the great meeting place for Sakhils and the greatest of their kind, the tormentors.

There are also several other demiplanes attached to the Ethereal plane and connected dimensions, such as the Harrowed Realm, an offshoot of the Dimension of Dreams created by Sonnorae the Storyteller, who filled it with beings embodying the many stories and folk tales of the Varisian people. This wondrous fairytale land was not to remain pristine, for some of her creations rebelled and slew her, gaining free-will and self-awareness, only to realize they were trapped in that realm forever with only themselves for company, aside from extremely rare travellers who arrive by accident or by somehow learning of the obscure realm.

As you can see, Despite being mostly empty, the Ethereal Plane and it’s neighboring dimensions offer many wonders and horrors to visitors, even if they normally just use it to walk through walls. Tomorrow, however, we’ll take a deeper dive into the entities that dwell there.
