helping me crochet a net for my plushies! i love making soft decor, it’s like my stuffed animals are cuddled in bed along with me even if they aren’t actually in my bed
night in the woods is one of the most brilliant games i’ve ever played. it’s also one of the most relatable. the monologues in the game are damn near perfect. playing it again after completing it the first time is so fucking cool because you realize how mae begins to spiral a few days after she gets back in town, and how that affects her relationships and her friend group. the way she reacted to gregg and angus moving away is so fucking brilliant because it’s accurate. i’ve never seen a borderline fantasy story game be as relatable as this one is.
her inability to move on from things that happened in the past and being unable to cope with things that are going to happen was done so well. i was shocked when i first played it through because i’ve literally had some of the same conversations with my friends. and they way the described her anger problem and dissociation was the most accurate ive ever seen.
I FUCKING LOVE NITW
actually while i'm here, i'm gonna reveal it was me who drew this thing that i doubt anyone even remembers: pickle hyde

“Dark and Fair” by Tadeusz Styka (ca. 1908) Marthe Barnède, nicknamed Madame Sappho, is ‘a stunning brunette, with hair the color of deep shadow,’ while Colette, her young and frail lover, is described as ‘a pretty girl with lily-white skin and light blonde hair that crowned her pale ivory forehead with a riotous golden halo.

Witchcraft: Topic Ideas for Your Book of Shadows/Grimoire
Please remember that these are just a small number of ideas! This isn't an end-all-be-all. Your magical journals should be personal to you and you alone. Additionally, your book of shadows/grimoire should always grow and change as you do. If you no longer resonate with something or find new information, add, take away, or archive pages! There is absolutely no shame in doing so. Most importantly, have fun!

*I believe these are more inclined for an intermediate/advanced skill level. This is because a good grasp on more basic skills (sensing energy, protection, vetting, etc.) is required to perform these practices safely and effectively with a higher rate of success.
