HEX & CURSE IDEAS ☠️

Just a few of my ideas, all based on my research/experiences/opinion!  I’ll probably add more to this. 

DISCLAIMER:  All of these do require a taglock, see this post: • How To Collect A Taglock If you want to hex/curse someone but do not have one.  GENERAL IDEAS/FILL IN THE BLANKS:  Some of these might seem super obvious but sometimes we all need a little guidance or inspiration!  • Take a jar & fill it with your taglock + items that correspond with your intent. • Put an item near the taglock/poppet that represents your intent. • Bury your taglock at a location that corresponds with your intent. • Sew a poppet based on the victim and do to the poppet what you’d like done to the victim.                                                                       Misfortune:  • Take your taglock, and place it under a coin, preferably a big coin. Place a tiny black candle on the top and light it, as the candle burns, so will their good fortune, this will siphon it away. Blow out the candle & move the components away from each other when you’d like the spell to cease.  • Enchant an item the victim will like with misfortune, negativity, ect and gift it to them. Be sure to cleanse & ward after & be sure to counteract the effects of the spell so that it doesn’t effect you. 

Pain:  • Take your taglock, take some chili powder & burn the taglock with it. Alternatively: Let it sit in the chili powder for longer effects. • Sew a poppet based on the victim, drive needles through it & leave them in as long as you want the victim in pain.  • Alternatively, you could burn the poppet.

Bitterness:  • Take your taglock, & soak it in a jar (closed up) with some lemon juice. The victim will feel not only bitter, but alone.  Paranoia:  • Set your taglock near a drawing of some large eyes, they will feel they’re constantly being watched.  • Sew a poppet of the victim, • Take your taglock, or a poppet, & bury it at a crossroads. The victim will not know where to turn or what decisions to make & will begin to overthink their decisions, feeling stuck.  Chaos:  • Set your taglock in a large tall jar of storm water and spin it around & around, creating a whirlpool, visualize the victim panicking and being confused.  Stress/Fear:  • Set your taglock in a jar, seal it up with something that unsettles the victim. This might take a might of experimentation, perhaps seal the jar in the dark, put a spider in the jar, ect.  Claustrophobic:  • Place your taglock in a jar, cover it with dirt, bonus points if it’s dirt from near their home, place the jar in a very dark quiet place for as long as you want the spell active.  • Alternatively, you could fill the jar with black paint.  • Sew a poppet of the victim, and wrap it in something over and over, this could be thread, ribbon, string, cloth, whatever as long as it covers them repeatedly. Wrap it up tight.  To Show Someone’s True Colors:  • Take your taglock, and wrap it around a stick. Place the stick in a bottle of water & freeze it, set it out to thaw & as the ice falls away so will their outer layers, showing off their cold inner cold.  • Alternatively, you could cut a slit in an apple & place the taglock in there. Same principle, as the apple rots so will their outer layers.  • Sew a poppet based on the victim, as you’re stuffing it place a tiny black heart inside. When you want to enact the curse, cut open the poppet & turn it inside out. Showing their true colors, the small black heart inside.  More Posts: - What I’ve Learned About Curses  You guys wanted more stuff on cursing, here it is.  If I see any comments mentioning the rule of 3 and putting down others for their choices about their craft, I reserve the right to delete them!  I hope this helps you or teaches you something! Happy hexing! Have a lovely day 🖤

Summer recently just started for me, it was late because of the hurricane. So this is just a little picture I drew to celebrate it.

I just got around to updating the old Scrapbook artwork with new “photos”, retouching and re-toning it so that I could make a wallpaper/device background out of it for Patrons.  After reformatting it into about 20 different shapes, I figured I might as well do one specially made for Tumblr too. ———————– Lackadaisy is on Patreon - there’s extra stuff!

A tip for blending when painting digitally: use a transition color! I quickly made this when my brother asked for art advice while I was working on a painting for my best friend. (I was watching a lot of makeup videos to pick out her gifts). 

Invader Zim Linguistics AU Masterpost

(A.K.A: Irkens can’t have nice things: the series.)

Synopsis: Zim finds out that Gir was never programmed to understand Irken. Deciding to teach Gir himself, Zim soon uncovers some alarming gaps in his own knowledge, and discovers that maybe some things are better left buried.

hi mod! i'd love to see your personal rank of all the existing spider-man and deadpool movies, worst to best

WORST TO BEST okay, alright.

0/10, bad movie. worst spider-man movie ever made. worst superhero movie ever made. just bad. insulting. i hate this. 

2/10, pretty inarguably terrible, but has some ironic merit as a bad movie. andrew garfield’s hair is terrible in this movie. 

5/10, not as bad as people say it is. iconic meme moments unsurpassable by modern cinema. sandman transformation scene is freaking incredible. apart from some iconic scenes though the movie is pretty boring.

6/10, they really tried. unfairly hated, even though they bungle up the spider-man mythos a whole lot. the music is nice and the overall style is slick and beautiful. andrew garfield’s hair is amazing which is how the film got it’s name. (ps. I LOVE THIS SUIT) 

7/10, the most comic-faithful spider-man adaptation we’re ever going to get. cheesy and iconic. people make fun of it but forget that this film singlehandedly started the superhero hype train. 

7/10, a really good time. great jokes. messy editing and questionable choices throughout. wade is a champion and i love him. 

8/10 i cried in the theatre. 

9/10 i also cried in the theatre. god tier superhero movie. 

100000000/10 this is the best one guys 

Our Zim’s “thing” and why he’s the Ultimate Zim

I have talked about this a great length with many people privately since Zimvoid arc ended,

@paketdimensioncomic​ @sweetiepie08​ and @xryn-art​ 

But I don’t think I really made a whole post about it. What our Zim’s “thing” is. No, it’s not choking on styrofoam packing peanuts no matter what Zib thinks. And I can explain why really easily. 

Because this:

Is one hundred percent correct. 

Zim is really the ultimate Zim for way more reasons then he thinks. 

And it’s made even way more obvious when you reread the whole Zimvoid arc as a whole narrative.  

It’s not just because Zim was the one to completely erase the Zimvoid from his reality…

HE WAS THE ONLY ZIM WHO WAS CAPABLE OF DOING THIS.

Let’s see, what does our Zim have that the other Zims in the Zimvoid don’t?

He has a GIR. He was only able to interface with the frequency due to GIR. 

And Zim causing realities to collapse in on themselves wouldn’t have been possible at all without GIR. Zim would have honestly messed this up without him (he could have easily erased himself from existence) GIR is way more competent than he appears to be. 

Zim was able to destroy the Zimvoid because of direct assistance from GIR. 

And as we all remember: 

The zapper absolutely fried every single GIR on entry to the Zimvoid. According to Spotted Zim here, every single GIR was destroyed completely due to the zapper.

Not many people give it too much thought because before the arc was over people were predicting GIR would have a large role to play in what Zim’s “thing” is. And he does, because Zim couldn’t have taken down the entire Zimvoid without GIR.

But HOW did GIR survive? Why did GIR survive? what makes GIR so special?

D I B

If Dib did not stubbornly follow Zim blindly into the Zimvoid, GIR wouldn’t have survived.

(That and Dib keeps a close eye on GIR and slips easily into his protective big brother mode with him) 

IT’S THE REASON ALL THE OTHER GIRS perished.

ZIB EVEN SAYS AS MUCH:

Zib finds that weird and hilarious that out of all the Dibs, he’s the only one who comes, but he never really properly check what Dib’s “thing” is because it’s so obvious to him. 

But here’s the kicker about what our Zim’s “thing” is… or what Zib assumes from his thing…

He’s scanning his Memory for variations based on the timeline he came from, not the current events that are happening. 

Because as it stands….

Zim could have only destroyed the Zimvoid with GIR’s help.

GIR could have only survived with Dib’s assistance/interference… and 

Dib needed to follow Zim for this to happen. 

You know what else needed to happen?

Dib had to be there to pull Zim out of his own head and focus on the task at hand…

This sounds vaguely familiar 

So what am I getting at with all these connections? What does it all mean? Well… I have a bit of a theory, and I kinda think the Zimvoid proved it. 

There are a few things that set our Zim apart from all the other Zim and make him the Ultimate Zim..

Zim does not abide by the laws of this society very well. He does what he needs to do in the stadium, but he really is resistant to how bureaucratic the system is. Even 2k and Palindrome who do have their own resistance group, are still functioning within the rules of their society and the Elder Zim says as much. No Zim ever thinks to destroy this dimension altogether and take out all the other Zims with them. Even as a resistance group they are clearly playing by Zib’s rules.

There’s a reason that the Resistance has existed for six months and hasn’t even gotten close to beating much less confronting Number One until Dib showed up. They never really left the game and are really chasing their own tails. It’s just another way to feed into their competitive egos without directly competing in the stadium. If any of these Zim’s were as driven as OUR Zim, they would of confronted number One a very long time ago. 

Because our Zim is the most driven out of any Zim in the Zimvoid.

Zim rose in rank way faster in 24 hours than any progress that the Zim-Resisty made in six months. 

If half or even one of the Zims in the Zimvoid were as driven as our Zim, can you imagine how quickly this establishment could be abolished?! 

Every Zim has a role to fill and they will gladly fill those roles when they have a specific trait given to them… Like… THEY WILL OWN IT. IT IS WHAT DEFINES THEM AS AN INDIVIDUAL NOW.

For all these Zims in the Zimvoid…. and Carl… this defines what they are and who they are now. Every Zim takes great pride in their “Thing”  

For Zim, this is completely unacceptable. No version of Zim would just accept their role like this and he KNOWS that. It’s why he resists so hard and calls them all horrible variations of him. Zim has been fighting tooth and nail to carve his own identity and stand out as Irk’s finest invader for centuries. To get the Tallest and his people to look at him for who he is and praise him for how awesome he is. And now he’s being told that in order to be “unique” he has to “follow the crowd” You see where Zim’s whole conflict comes from here.

 This is why Zim falls to pieces when he is actually given a “Thing” and it’s the stupidest thing in the world. All these inferior Zims are the ones calling HIM the worst…. because of packing peanuts. 

The identity he’s been trying so hard to stand out isn’t important after all…. he isn’t a unique Zim, he’s the worst of the worst out of many Zims. You can see how that can easily break him and he would have stayed in his existentialism if Dib wasn’t there. 

And the thing about having a Dib in the Zimvoid….

It’s pretty obvious that not all of these Zim’s “THINGS” are exclusive. Throughout the multiverse, they don’t do the exact same things with the exact same people. Their Dibs and relationships and histories they have with Dib are extremely different. Zib didn’t take into account our Zim’s relationship with his Dib. 

And why would Zib even care about that? Since he claims that he killed his Zim. he lies about a lot of things 

To Zib, a Dib’s relationship to a Zim DOES NOT MATTER

So much so that he denies his own identity, falsifies so much information, lies to Dib’s face to make a good first impression, and above all else, never looks at any Zim’s timeline to determine what their Dib is like. He never checked to see what Dib’s thing is. He just assumed “oh you’re the only Dib who came, of course, that’s your thing” 

But he was wrong.

Really wrong about this, because Zim’s relationship to Dib is really the core factor in what sets Zim apart from the other Zims. 

Dib not only was the factor in keeping GIR alive, but was the factor in getting Zim promoted to the inner circle so quickly in the first place. 

Dib was also the factor in getting 2k and the rest of the Zim-Resisty wound up enough to actually DO something and storm the gate. Like I said, they’ve been sitting around following the rules of Zim-society as a “rebel” for like six months before Dib showed up.

Dib was able to motive the Zims into doing what they set out to do

Dib actually did a lot to boost Zim up into “Ultimate Zim” status. Wether intentional or not, and judged by 2k’s and Palindrome’s reactions to Dib throughout the arc….

I don’t think any other Zim has ever worked with a Dib before.

We get a lot of hints of this from how every Zim talks and refers to their Dib.

We never know how the Boloney effect was reversed in the show, and that’s part of the joke. But it is very clear that the Boloney effect was only reversed because Zim and Dib worked together to find a solution. THIS ZIM DID NOT WORK WITH DIB AND THIS IS WHY HE IS STILL MEAT.

And from all the context clues I showed before, it’s really clear no Zib and Dib throughout the multiverse have even worked together once, just from how all the Zims tend to regard Dib. 

And ESPECIALLY with how Zib regards HIS Zim.

It’s blatantly obvious to me that Zib has never worked together with his Zim. 

But as GIR has stated: 

If a “real” Zim has never worked with a Dib before…. This is the thing that really sets Zim apart.

Dib was the factor in keeping GIR alive.

Dib was the factor in rallying the Resistance.

Dib was the reason Zim got an audience with number One.

Dib was the one who motivated/inspired Zim to actually look deeper into the irken technology

AND DIB WAS THE REASON ZIM WAS ABLE TO DESTROY THE ZIMVOID

You can call this deep-seated denial from both of them, but they are both right in more ways then they know. 

Dib is the Ultimate Dib because Zim is the Ultimate Zim because they unintentionally, fall into teamwork roles and help each other out. They are both the “worst” because they can work together better then any other Dib and Zim in the multiverse, and that is why they are the best.

Zim was the only possible Zim in the multiverse who could actually do this. Because of Dib. 

And I really think that’s what makes him the Ultimate Zim. 

Like I really don’t doubt it.
