Demon Traps

In 2014 archaeologists uncovered “demon traps” hidden under the floorboards of Knole House, one of Britain’s most important historic homes. Etched in the 17th century, a period which was rife with superstition and paranoia, these carvings were believed to ward off evil spirits and prevent demonic possession. Also referred to as witchmarks, the carvings discovered at Knole House featured interlocking V shapes thought to invoke the protection of the Virgin Mary. They were also specifically arranged to trap demons under the fireplace, thought to be a particularly weak area for demonic infestations.

Researchers summarized that the demon traps were placed in preparation of King James I visit to Knole House in 1606, which never took place. During King James I reign, his interest in witchcraft grew into a dangerous obsession leading to hundreds of victims being fed to the flames as Europe continued to be gripped by a witch hunt fever. The marks were discovered under the floorboards of the bedchamber earmarked for the Kings stay.

Demon Traps

Ever since coming to the circus, Nibi has been especially paranoid about Julchen protecting herself. The god was not a pushy type though, so Julchen took them seriously. Or, well, as seriously as she could. Not being a very cautious person, she didn’t think much about it at first, promising to eventually brush up on some spells, charms, and other warding practices. Finally, after a bit more pushing, Julchen was finally doing just that. 

From Nibi’s suggestion, she started to make some demon traps. Nibi explained how to make them for the most part, since Julchen had never really had a need for them before. She hid the first one under a rug, which was kind of in an awkward place, and just waited nearby nonchalantly. Julchen honestly did not think she would catch anything, but Nibi insisted waiting. While she waited, she ate some popsicles to pass the time.

Okay. So.

Why don't Sam and Dean put demon traps on the floor and the ceiling? So a demon walks in and sees the trap on the floor and is like nice try fuckers. And they break it and they walk forward and they still end up stuck and so confused and look up and pissed as hell. Then Winchesters are like nice try fucker.

Honestly you could catch demons that came to kill you much can easier if you just painted your demon traps before you put the carpeting down so they were less obvious. Like, a giant bright red demony trappy circle on the floor? Not exactly discreet. A bunch of them hidden under the boring and mildly ugly beige carpeting? Sneaky and longer lasting.

I have 4/10 of the relationships necessary to get Cap Wolf. I almost have 5/10, but in my quest to always have 2 hangouts running and in trying to get as many of Wasp’s relationships out of the way I’ve put off that fifth relationship in favor of two others.

But Moon Knight makes up three of those relationships now... And Wasp is at 0 with him, so guess who needs to build that up? *sigh*

At least this is totally doable for f2p. And free shards! *grabby hands*
