digimon seem to be a grey area between familiar and servitor. when you become involved in the life of a digimon, they are entirely unique to you. they are created from your data (both in the sense of who you actually are, as well as your existence and presence in technologies/online). this makes them a lot like a servitor; after all, they are programmed from who you are at your core, and can work towards basically any desire you have. however, they also have free will - they are still a spirit that exists, even just fictionally, thus giving them ties to familiars, as well. however, they do seem to hold more connections to servitors - so feel free to see for yourself whether they are more of a servitor or more of a familiar. it varies.
existence.
digimon are your friends, first and foremost. they are a digitally-bodied companion that can assist you in a multitude of ways - but never forget they are here to be your friend first. they do have free will, and can "dark-digivolve" (transform into a corrupted creature of malicious data) or even die (and revert to an egg) when mistreated. if you're curious about working with digimon, please be sure to take care of them.
maintenance.
digimon feed off energy. if you require a digimon stronger than a child-stage/rookie-stage, be aware that you will need some kind of power source for them. this is also much like a servitor. some digimon (but not all) source their energy and power from their respective tamer (the person who's data they were created from and linked to), and use the tamer's personal energy to keep their life stable. however, there is a danger to this - if a digimon is directly linked to you, if something happens to the digimon's life, you will also be affected. choose carefully what suits your needs; be it a portion of your food to keep the digimon sustained, or to link it to your own being if you cannot provide physical offerings for sustenance. a way to "cut back" on offerings (if you are ill or you are unable to give food consistently), is to revert the digimon to its most basic form: this will be anywhere between baby i stage / fresh stage to child stage / rookie. don't trigger digivolution unless you're positive you're able to provide enough energy.
digivolution.
digivolution happens naturally for a digimon when it is provided enough energy to transform into something stronger. if you give it portions of your food, or connect it to your energy for long enough - you will be able to have access to more forms it can transform into. digivolution is always optional for the tamer; if you do not want your digimon to transform, it will not do that. as i mentioned before, be aware that the further down the line a digimon digivolves, the more energy it will require to complete the transformation. you may ask, how do i know if my digimon is ready to digivolve? communicate with it. almost any issues with digimon can be solved by just talking to it - it will understand you, and you will understand it (and the longer you spend alongside your digimon, the easier it will be to communicate).
neglect, death, and dark-digivolution.
it happens sometimes, you either neglect your digimon or it dies. sometimes neglect is the reason for death of the digimon, and sometimes the digimon, particularly if you use it for protection, can die in the process of keeping you safe. however, don't feel like digimon neglect or death is going to be an unforgiveable sin that you can't come back from. when a digimon "dies", they do not actually die - their data just gets reconfigured back into an egg, and it's up to you to re-feed it energy until it can hatch and later fend for itself once more. the digimon will always require regular energy-feeding, that's just how raising a monster works - if you cannot for whatever reason feed it, it's best to let it die and stay an egg until you're ready to work alongside it again.
dark-digivolution, however, is different to death. it is when your digimon becomes irreparably angry or tormented by either your actions, or the actions of the world around it. it is when it becomes swallowed up by despair, and thus, the digivolution "tree" available to it becomes warped and malicious. like a servitor, it is important to have a "kill-switch" for a digimon in case this happens, as a lot (but not all) dark-digivolutions can be directly harmful to the tamer responsible. however, if your digimon transforms into a typically "dark-digivolution" on its own, without serious episodes of upset, don't worry about the kill switch. sometimes digimon will just naturally transform into a big and scary digimon anyway; it does not always mean it's about to hurt you (in fact, it rarely does. you will know in your heart when your digimon is about to dark-digivolve).
edit: i made a post on creating digieggs! feel free to check it out.
Being an omnist is SO AWESOME! ( ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)ഒ Cause what do you mean I can give offerings to Hypnos, talk to the Moon about my woes and afterwards plan to make a pocket alter for 1x1x1x1?

Many first world "Marxist-Leninists" claim that Marxism-Leninism is the Marxism in the 21st century. They sometimes rase up the banner of that Dogmatist Hoxha, sometimes the Arch-Revisionist Deng, sometimes neither. But regardless of which sad face they raise up, they are all united in their rejection of Maoism.
Ask yourself however, where in the world is revolution being fought under the banner of Marx and Lenin? Where do compradors and imperialists and landlords suffer sleepless nights in fear of Leninism? Where does the old state give way to the new state lead by the Leninist party, where do the masses march in the millions with the name of Lenin on their lips?
The so-called Marxist-Leninists cannot answer this question, but the Maoists can, we raise the banner of Marx and Lenin high everywhere we go, flying them alongside Mao and all our other great teachers. From the tip of Argentina to the deserts of north Mexico, compradors still tremble in fear at the name Gonzalo and his Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, despite his death. Landlords are taken by the people's courts every day in India, lead by the party of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism. The Chinese and Amerikan imperialists have united to defend their interests in the Philippines, what force has animated this alliance? The CPP, the Filipino party of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism. Every day the masses of Brazil march with the LPP to occupy more plantation land with the CPB (Red Fraction) at their head. The ideology which guides them; Marxism-Leninism-Maoism.
While the dogmatists and revisionists mock the defeat of the heroic comrades in Peru and Nepal, or declare that the Maoists in the Philippines, Turkey and India are taking too long, and thus must be wrong, what have they achieved in these past decades? Have they made states tremble, have they shaken the foundations of this Imperialist world, where oh Hoxhaists and Dengists are your victories? You declare that you are correct, but in what practice do you base this knowledge? Where do the masses embrace your twisted version of Marxism?
Not India
Not Peru
Not Turkey
Not the Philippines
Not Brazil
Not anywhere else on earth
Nowhere...
Practice is the test of all theory, and Hoxahism and Dengism have been found wanting.
Perhaps, if you are really interested in remaking yourself in the image of the proletariat and giving your life in service of world proletarian revolution, you should stop blindly drinking up the words of Dogmatism and Revisionism and learn Marxism-Leninism-Maoism. Take inspiration from the living practice of Leninism and pick up the red banner and carry it forward, lockstep with the vanguards of the world. There is a new dawn on the horizon, and its banner is Maoism!
it's very simple as long as you don't think about it.
- about the spiral
the spiral is one of the magnus archives' dread powers. it is the manifestation of madness, falsehood and the idea that your mind and senses are lying to you.
𖦹 °‧⋅this list is based both on the podcast's content and my own experience, which makes it upg at times. i might edit it if anything else becomes relevant.
⋅°‧ 𖦹 also, when it comes to working with the dread powers, i recommend you check @the-witchy-sideblog 's own resources! some of my own correspondences come from their work, and i find their whole blog very useful :)
