𝒊𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒂 𝒅𝒆𝒊𝒕𝒚 //Malika Bajihri

DEITY of: Luck, Risks, and Last Resorts

Origins: Malika never should have become a god. Everyone in the seedy, dark tavern where it happened knew that. Anyone that had ever met her would have told you the same thing: “Malika became a god? Oh, shit. Well, that shouldn’t have happened.”

But when a figure cloaked in swirling shadows, with blazing crimson eyes that somehow, when looked upon, reminded everyone in that tavern of a random person they had once met  in passing somewhere, sometime, came to the bar and asked in a low, haunting voice: WHO WILL GAMBLE WITH ME?  She was the only one who took him up on the offer. It was a bad idea. That was why she did it. And that’s why, after she won, everything changed.

 She’s a god now. And I guess we’re all just going to have to deal with the ramifications of that.

ASSOCIATED WITH:

·       When the stakes are high and the only ideas you have left are the bad ones

·       Thrill-seeking

·       Big decisions left to a coin toss, die roll, or a flip of a card

·       The moment you can tell it’s going to rain, but you’re not quite sure when

·       Intuition

·       Freedom

·       Happenstance and Coincidence

·       Broken Promises and Oaths 

SACRED PLANT(S):

·       Clover

·       Dandelion fluff (a nuisance weed that just yearns to be blown free)

·       Maple seeds/helicopter (dancing and swirling to somewhere new)

SACRED GEMS & STONES:

·       Opal

·       Lapis Lazuli

·       Smooth stones found among hard jagged ones

·       Any stone or gem that just happens to catch your eye, that you absolutely know you should not take, and that you know you’re going to try to take anyway.

SACRED ANIMALS:

·       Black cat

·       Fox

·       Albatross

·       Any animal typically associated with bad luck

ASSOCIATED COLORS:

·       Silver

·       Midnight and Void Blue

·       Wine Red

SACRED FOOD:

·       Hard liquor

·       Dark chocolate

·       Blackberries

ASSOCIATED SCENTS:

·       Orange Blossom

·       Jasmine

·       Smells you can’t place that remind you of some place or somebody long ago.

ACCEPTED OFFERINGS/WAYS TO GAIN BLESSINGS:

Abstract:

·       Stuck between a rational, but dull, good idea and a terrible, but fun, bad idea: choose the bad one just for the thrill of it.

·       Say a prayer to her the moment before you act on impulse or intuition

·       In a tense moment, when all is lost, whisper to her a memory that’s important to you

·       Buck authority. Go where they don’t want you to go, see the things they don’t want you to see, put your nose where they don’t want it.

·       Pranks and Comeuppance: She hates those who abuse their status or wealth: Mercilessly prank or harass anyone you see behave this way.

Physical Offerings:

·       Leave a memento for her: a trinket of great personal, not necessarily financial, value to you

·       The next time you ask for help, take whatever trinket was left there before you came (regardless if it was yours or someone else’s) and replace it with a new one

·       Dice that either helped you win a game or that you feel made you lose one.

REJECTED OFFERINGS/WAYS TO BRING IRE:

·       When your risk-taking puts others in danger who could not defend themselves

·       Living for others more than for yourself. Martyrdom.

·       Refusing to help a stranger who asks for assistance

·       Abusing your power or wealth.

·       Any attempt to infringe on someone else’s freedom (this includes contracts. She haaaates contracts. This also includes forcing people into obligations or oaths.)

Boost this please?

Okay so, this is not an easy post for me to make. I hate having to resort to this sort of thing. But the fact remains that I have some severe mental issues, probably some I haven't even heard of, or wouldn't consider me having them a possibility. I need therapy. Now, the problem is that I don't exactly make enough money to be able to afford a good therapist. I'm well aware that I have it off easy as far as my bills go. It doesn't change the fact that I'm barely scraping by with what I'm currently making. So, I guess what I'm asking is that, to anyone out there who reads this post, please donate here: https://www.paypal.me/jace9 If you want more reasons than just therapy to donate, I'm also trying to save up for gender transitioning surgery, and more often than not my roommates and I find ourselves without the money to eat properly. If everyone who sees this donates even just a dollar, I'd be eternally grateful. If you can't donate, then please, PLEASE reblog this and help it get around. Thank you in advance for any and all help

Challenge #03899-J247: A Killer of Character

"Why are you here drinking and crying?"

"I had to take up a blade and kill."

"Why did you have to kill?"

My entire family was in danger."

"So why are you crying?"

"Because killing hurts." -- Anon Guest

"I looked into their eyes," said the killer. "I had tried every other method to stop them, but they refused to be swayed. So I had to stop them with a blade."

"You got to know them," said the barmaid. "Many who come here say that's a rookie mistake."

"Proud to be a rookie, then," said the killer. "They were people too. Assholes, I admit. Dedicated to causing trouble for defenceless folks, but..." they took another swig. Wiped their face. "Still people. Ma always told me that violence is the first resort of fools, and the only thing that works when everything else has failed."

Last Resorts (Closed RP)

A slim finger tapped against the table in front of her, one foot firmly placed on the ground, the other leg crossed over, leaving her foot to dangle in the air as she stared at the reports in front of her. Golden Path attacks another outpost. Her teeth bit the inside of her lip, while her left hand balled into a fist; her temper was slowly being lost once again as it took all she had not to storm out of her office, into Durgesh and take her rage out on her soldiers and prisoners. No, no, for once that wouldn’t help with the actual situation. Pagan was lazy leaving it to his guards to try dealing with the situation; but they were all fools, idiots. They didn’t know what they were up against; the Golden Path wasn’t working alone anymore, they had the help of an outsider; or at least that’s how it would seem. Ajay Ghale had roots here, no thanks to both his mother and father. A heavy sigh left her lips as she leaned her head back, staring at the ceiling. She needed one of her older soldiers, someone who had been here for a couple years, but most of them were dead from the new recruits being fools and getting everyone killed.

Wait. There was still one “Why him?” She hissed in slight irritation; he had managed to live two years as a soldier of her’s. He was a complete idiot but managed; first impressions lasted forever, and she’d never forget when he threw a snowball at her, every time she thought of past incidents with him, Yuma’s blood would boil; but this would be a good time to test him out, see if he had grown as a soldier. Her hand moved up to the radio on her chest as she clicked the button, “So called ‘Commander’ Johar, make your way to my office. Now.” With that she removed her finger and placed her hand back on her test, listening to static, waiting for the male’s response.
