WLW (witches loving witches)

be wild, be unruly, bare your teeth to the world; be the terror and the abomination, be the blood on their hands, be the last exhale of a raging sun. ravage, devour, revel in the madness of the sleepless nights. burn, and bite, and grin like a feral god.

so I’m gonna make Pan have his own blog, but he’ll still be here as a side muse too

[somethingvvicked]

the entity that becomes pan taking the body of a child is very interesting because like. suddenly, they're this consciousness, and he knows vaguely what he is, but he doesn't understand it. what is food. what is pain. why do things hurt. why are they sick all the time? why is everyone dying and why don't people like them. what is "diablo" and why do people hate him. why aren't they his friend. is he evil? what is praying? should he pray? would that make them like him better?

like.... 

originally, what would become pan isn’t.... a thing. or rather, it doesn’t have a consciousness. it’s just there it just exists except that it doesn’t, not really. and so suddenly, it takes on the form of a human child but it has red eyes and it’s on an island where everyone is dying and it doesn’t understand and it just wants to make friends. it took this form because this was the body of his friend, why are people calling him diablo what does diablo mean? why won’t they be his friend?

and in the beginning, the child that would become pan goes from using gender neutral pronouns (what is gender? they keep saying i’m a boy, am i a boy? what’s a boy?) into using masculine pronouns, because..... well, that’s what they say he is. they must be right. 

just. baby pan/emiliano, not knowing who or what he is.
