"underwater" Посвящаю сегодняшнюю картинку чувству, которое я назваю "будто воды в грудь налили". Картинка не отражает это чувство в полной мере, но я его и любым другим способом передать не могу, так что все нормально.

since I've remembered about Sayuri at all, I have to remember why she was created in the first place

The one with the white hair is Awaon (the Persona). The one with the black hair is Sayuri (the Shadow). They have a long history with me, but nowadays they can be considered my OCs or something.

Hello, mama Bree, I was curious - are there ways to make an item seem more appealing to the eye, and is there any backlash from using these ways?

You mean like a glamour or a beauty charm? Oh sure, that’s definitely a thing.

The best things I’ve found for such charms are dried orange peel, rose petals, and magnolia blossoms or bark. You can also dab the item with a little drop of rosewater or orange or amber oil. (Just a teeny tiny bit, and only if the oil won’t hurt the item in question or compromise its’ finish or structural integrity.)

If it’s a small object or something like items to be sold in a shop, you can store them with a sachet bag of orange peel and rose petals (and magnolia, if you can get it), or lightly mist the shelf with rosewater or a fingertip-smudge of orange or amber oil.

If you’re looking to put this same appealing glamour on yourself, carry the sachet in your pocket, or mist yourself lightly with rosewater, or dab a little drop of orange or amber perfume oil on your wrists. (All this is assuming you don’t have allergies to the substances in question.)

There’s generally a very remote chance of backlash with this kind of magic. The most you have to worry about is being TOO appealing, in which case washing off the perfume and discarding the sachet should negate the effects.

For the magical mechanics portion, here’s a breakdown of the substances involved and what they stand for in these methods (since witches should know WHY as well as WHAT):

Amber Oil - Success, attraction, gain, confidence

Orange Peel / Oil - Attraction, success, monetary wealth, happiness

Roses / Rosewater - Attraction, beautification, love, affection

Magnolia - Beautification, attraction, glamour, confident outlook

Dear Miss Bechno, after looking at your latest art depicting a flustered Grunkle Ford, I felt a strong urge to ask you - how are you able to make old(er) men look adorable/attractive and how do you feel about people questioning their life's choices because of said art. Yours, Daria.

The first question is one that I get a lot (even with younger men) and besides saying "PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE", I never know how to answer it. %D I guess if anything, I like drawing men with a sort of "softness" to them. I remember reading some books that say that "MEN HAVE SHARPER SHAPES", but I suddenly decided "NAH". I like using round shapes for every character I draw. UvU IDK if that’s very helpful, though...

The second question? UH.....I HOPE THAT'S A GOOD THING....If it means liking the Grunkles, then that's a thumbs up from me, heh heh.

My headcanon is that you decorate your house with crafts made from natural materials, like pinecones and birch bark.

Considering the amount of dried herb bundles I have hanging on my walls, plus the silk flower garlands, I’d go ahead and call this canon. ;)
