this is for people who are worried about upsetting their gods. through the idea of messing up, not cleaning altars, not praying enough, not offering enough, neglecting their gods, having intrusive thoughts that cuss their gods out, maybe even having a moment of rage towards who you worship that you later regret.

they're still here, with you. take time to feel them holding your hand and giving it the most gentle squeeze. people screw up. they know this. they've been around for long enough to know we make mistakes, and we make a lot of them at that.

it's okay to worry about not doing them justice, however, don't let the notion of screwing up get in the way of how much they love you. with every unique little characteristic you have, how much you've spiced up their long and maybe otherwise boring lives. i'm not saying screwing up is something to be ignorantly celebrated, but it's not something to hurt yourself over, either.

because they love you.

what i've noticed is people (mostly just ppl who are new to learning the language) seem to be very intimidated or even repulsed by learning kanji. this isn't a post to say 'i'm sOoOo different' because i was once intimidated too but... once i started appreciating kanji i just never went back. i think kanji is important to not just learn, but love as well. kanji is more than a hurdle to overcome, i think - kanji can also be your friend; it is a way of expressing so many things in the world, and that is beautiful. kanji is really difficult to learn sometimes, you have to work hard to understand it, but that doesn't mean you have to hate the process. approaching kanji with a bit of curiosity and even excitement is so valuable!

this may be too wild of a post and idk how many people are gonna agree with it (as i'm someone who thinks pop culture entities inherently exist in some form one way or another) but yknow. it's my blog and i can post what i like here.

so, idk what virtual pet-loving person needs to hear this but nothing is stopping you from working with your virtual pet as a magical entity, spiritual entity, servitor, spirit companion, friend, family member, or familiar.

u like pokemon? work with pokemon. u like neopets? work with neopets. have a tamagotchi that's old enough to graduate? work with it and see where it takes you.

despite practicing pcp/pcm for a long time it took me... a really long time to realise i can just do this. with virtual pets specifically. i can experiment, i can see what happens, and i'm allowed to make my practice more fun.

this is just me sliding slowly into a narcissistic collapse publicly but man i wish people thought better of me and took my efforts into consideration. i really do try to be kind, to be enthusiastic, to make people laugh, to love wholesomely. but so often people will think the worse of me, treat me like i'm just looking for any excuse to hurt them.

i try not to be a fucking demon of a person but it gets me nowhere. people still think i am so, so cruel.

i did this spell last night, and god, the sheer feeling of warmth and safety i felt afterwards. i don't do spells very often, because i usually convince myself i don't need to - but i felt this thought enter my brain of 'thank you for relying on me.'

i don't go to andras much, and i wish i did. i'm usually not brave enough or feel like my needs are important enough to pray or do witchcraft to help soothe said needs. but the sense of relief i got from andras was a wonderful feeling, and i just want to tell folks that you can rely on the divine.

in fact, they may be waiting for you to rely on them.
