Goals:

Become the apartment witch. My apartment smells like incense and matches and tea. My neighbors all come to me for remedies and small magical favors. Their visitors catch a glimpse of my apartment from the corner of their eye-they are unsure if they imagined it or not. I am a cryptid

[splotchedwings]

Become the apartment angel. My apartment smells like candles and flowers in bloom, with flowing water in the background. My neighbors are hesitant to approach me, but do so when needing advise or small sums of money from the dish that sits by the door. Visitors who see me inwardly shudder, feeling a presence beyond their own, calming but powerful with a light gait and loose flowing clothes. They are sure they haven’t imagined me, but think they’ve imagined what I am. Forgotten powerful presence, a cryptic angel.

[elvencantation]

become the apartment hobbit hearth witch. I always have a cup of tea and something sweet for travelers, friends, strangers. people come to me because they know I can listen, and sometimes without even saying a word their problems seem to work themselves out. my hearth is always warm, always welcoming. I grow my own tea and herbs in a garden much larger than what a rooftop apartment should be able to accommodate, and sunflowers stand guard around the perimeter. teas for sadness, for energy, for serenity, for concentration, mixed by hand in a sunlit kitchen, in a copper kettle. a warm smile and iced green teas for the summers, mushrooms for the autumns, black spiced teas for winter, herbal and fruit for spring. they don’t know how long I’ve lived there, but they’re certain I’ll stay for a long while.

[hammeredcat03-deactivated201807]

Become the apartment Earth witch. I tend to my plants daily and make sure they all have plenty of food and water. I set my crystals to charge in the sunlight or in my pots with my plants, my neighbors come to me for herbs and remedies to help with with all sorts of stuff, I manage to annoy my roommate with leaving my crystals scattered on the windowsills, I make sure my familiar (probably either a carved crystal or my cat) is well taken care of. The constant scent of earth and nature-scented incense fill my apartment and leaks out onto the city street and into the hallways, my cupboard is always overflowing all manners of herbs for cooking and teas and potions, I always have a cup of herbal tea every day (maybe a little coffee sometimes), setting my plants on the windowsill to get some sunlight. People coming by to see where the smell of herbs is coming from, doing sage cleansings every week. Meditating to the sounds of a forest on a rainy day.

[ingridverse]

Become the apartment superintendent. I do minor repairs and plumbing, keep the laundry room clean, and collect rent from anyone who doesn’t have direct deposit. The hours aren’t great but the pay is all right, and I generally get some good tips at Christmas.

[nbvagabond]

i have never understood or played magic the gathering, but i have nothing but respect for it after seeing this tittieless snake woman

you could have gone the easy route. you could have given her titties. but you didn’t. cause she’s a reptile. thank you mtg. thank you.

[the-long-dog]

She is feeling Fresh and Fabulous. 

[songofkeys]

SHE SURE IS because she is literally finishing up a shed there, look, you can see the last of it clinging to her tail

but she’s already dressed again, after peeling off the skin that would previously have been under that armor

the only logical conclusion here is that she wanted a picture of herself at her SHINIEST and PRETTIEST and hurried to get dressed once enough of her fresh and shiny new skin was uncovered

I bet her bestie took the picture and has been eagerly waiting with the magical fantasy camera for like, hours

“oh my GOD T’sissra your scales are SO VIBRANT this picture is going to be AMAZING”

[sumkitty-blog]

Extra bonus points because she used that skin as part of her backdrop. Its like a banner behind her head.

‘Out with the old, in with the glam!’

[heroofthreefaces]

I read “finishing up a shed” and for a few microseconds I was like “sexy AND an accomplished carpenter”

[sarahseeandersen]

My series FANGS, a love story between a vampire and a werewolf, has reached its’ last online episode. The full series is available here.

I want to thank you all so much for the warm reception on this. FANGS was such a risk and a departure from Sarah’s Scribbles and to see you all respond so positively and kindly has meant so much to me. Thank you very much.
