Mars observation ❤️‍🔥

* FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY, ENJOY*

( nevermind i am a TWD fan 💀)

🔥Mars in Capricorn tends to be so serious about their goals that they can come off as a little work-obsessed, but what most people don’t realize is that they have a soft spot for organizing little surprises for the people they care about. Whether it’s a secret birthday party or planning a perfectly timed gift, they’ll go to great lengths to ensure everything goes smoothly and they’ll do it with military-like precision. They love being the quiet mastermind behind the scenes, and the joy of seeing someone’s reaction is their reward.

🔥Instead of the traditional, action packed Mars energy, Mars in Pisces will often take a dream driven approach to goals. They might “daydream” their way through challenges, letting their imagination be the guide. They’ll spend a lot of time visualizing what they want, sometimes way too much and this often leads them to unexpected, highly creative solutions. If you're ever stuck on something, they’re probably the person who will suggest a completely off-the-wall idea that turns out to be genius in a roundabout way!

🔥Mars in Virgo’s love of efficiency and perfectionism can make them amazing cooks (even if they don't always admit it). They might not go for extravagant recipes, but give them a few ingredients, and they’ll whip up something incredibly delicious and perfectly balanced. They’ll even have a system for how to chop vegetables just right. It’s like a cooking ritual for them every step is part of the process. And they’ll never follow a recipe without tweaking it to make it just a little more efficient.

🔥Mars in Scorpio is famous for their ability to keep secrets not just their own, but others as well. They have a natural talent for holding on to information, and they’re not the type to spill the beans unless it serves a higher purpose. This ability to stay quiet even when they know things is both enchanting and slightly mysterious. But sometimes, they might hold on to information a bit too tightly, keeping their own emotions and thoughts hidden to the point where it can be a bit... overwhelming for others to navigate.

🔥Mars in Libra is gentle, polite, and often hesitant to create waves, but once they’ve decided to defend someone they care about, their protective side comes out in full force. They’ll step in without hesitation, but they’ll do it with such grace and subtlety that it won’t even look like they’re “defending” anyone at all. It’s like watching a charming diplomat put their foot down without ever raising their voice. You’ll only realize how strong their loyalty is when the situation is already over, and you’re left in awe of how they handled it.

🔥Mars in Aries has a strong sense of personal initiative, and they love jumping in to help other especially when they feel their “help” is needed. But,they often step in without being asked, sometimes even when it’s not necessary. They’ll see a person struggling with something and swoop in to save the day, even if that person had everything under control. It’s like the classic “I’ve got this” attitude...

🔥Mars in Taurus doesn’t like being pushed or rushed into making decisions or taking action. If you try to hurry them up, they will likely dig in their heels. But If someone tells them they can’t do something or that they’re taking too long, Mars in Taurus will often react by going into overdrive to prove the naysayer wrong. It’s like they didn’t want to be rushed, but now that you’ve challenged them, they’re going to do it perfectly and on their own time. It’s not about speed ,it’s about showing they can do it right.

🔥Mars in Leo is all about action, but sometimes beneath all that bold confidence is a soft, sentimental side. They may not always show it, but they do care deeply about the people and things they love. They’ll take pride in making memories, creating meaningful traditions, and doing grand gestures for those they care about. It might not always be obvious, but they have a way of expressing love through actions that can melt your heart.

🔥Mars in Gemini doesn’t usually want to feel too tied down or dependent, even in close relationships. While they enjoy companionship and conversations, they often need their independence and space to explore other ideas or activities. This doesn’t mean they aren’t invested, it just means their expression of affection may be more cerebral and less physical or emotional.

🔥People often misunderstand Mars in Cancer as fragile or overly sensitive, but in truth, their emotional depth gives them lasting resilience. They know how to protect themselves emotionally and are often much more psychologically tough than they appear. They may retreat into their shells to recharge, but they bounce back with an inner strength that is built on emotional wisdom and a deep understanding of what it means to nurture and care for others.

🔥Mars in Sagittarius has a natural skepticism about traditional authority and systems, and they may challenge ideas that feel too rigid or dogmatic. This can sometimes make them seem rebellious or contrary, as they want to explore ideas and beliefs outside the mainstream. While they are driven by a quest for truth, they can often appear dismissive of conventional wisdom, favoring instead a more personal, adventurous approach to discovering what works for them.

🔥Mars in Aquarius often comes across as cool, aloof, or even emotionally detached, but this doesn’t mean they lack deep feelings. Instead, their emotional depths are often hidden beneath their rational, progressive exterior. They feel deeply for social issues, injustices, and global problems, but they may not express these feelings in a conventional emotional way.

🔥 Mars in 1°/13°/ 25° people might find themselves competing with authority figures rather than working alongside them. They don’t like being told what to do and can have a hard time submitting to control.

🔥 Mars in 2°/ 14°/ 26° people might not make a lot of noise about their intentions, but their actions speak louder than words. They influence people not by being outspoken, but through their reliability, consistency, and practicality.

🔥 Mars in 3°/15°/ 27° people can be incredibly sharp-tongued or enjoy debating especially when they know they can outwit someone. They don’t need to raise their voice or make physical moves to assert dominance. Their words and ideas are their primary weapons, and they can often win a battle simply by being the most articulate or quick-witted in the room.

🔥 Mars in 4°/16°/28° people often avoids direct confrontation. They might be more comfortable retreating into their shell or expressing their frustrations through passive means rather than engaging in a full-blown argument.

🔥 Mars in 5°/17°/29° people often seek validation and admiration, they often push themselves to be the best at what they do, which can lead them to overwork or overexert themselves in their pursuits. If their output does not meet their high standards, they may feel disappointed or frustrated, even if others don’t see the imperfections.

🔥 Mars in 6°/ 18° people excels in roles that involve mentorship or coaching. Their ability to break down complex tasks into manageable steps and their focus on efficiency makes them great at guiding others toward success. They may not be the loudest voice in the room, but their leadership comes through their quiet, behind the scenes contributions that ensure everything runs smoothly.

🔥 Mars in 7°/19° people deep fear of disharmony or discord in relationships. This can sometimes lead them to avoid direct confrontation or suppress their own needs to keep the peace. Bro don't do it, just communicate otherwise you will feel burnt out at some point.

🔥 Mars in 8°/ 20° people may struggle with vulnerability. They are often fearful of exposing their true selves to others, and instead, they prefer to remain in a position of power and control. They only reveal certain parts of themselves to a select few.

🔥 Mars in 9°/21° people often has a constant feeling of restlessness, which can lead them to never feel truly satisfied with where they are. They are often driven by the idea that there is always more to discover, both in the world and in themselves. This can create a sense of unsettledness, even when things are going well in their lives, as they crave new experiences and growth opportunities.

🔥 Mars in 10°/ 22° people dislike waste, especially when it comes to their time and resources. Mars in Capricorn individuals are extremely efficient, preferring to channel their energy only into pursuits that have long-term value. This is why they are often great at building sustainable and lasting success.

🔥 Mars in 11°/23° people tends to reject routine, as their focus is always on new possibilities and big ideas. They can become irritated or disengaged by repetitive or mundane tasks. If they find themselves stuck in a routine, they may feel a lack of motivation or creativity, and may even sabotage their own efforts to avoid falling into boredom.

🔥when Mars in 12°/ 24° people feel emotionally invested in a cause or a person, they may find it hard to draw clear lines between their personal energy and the other person’s needs. This blurring of boundaries can lead to emotional overwhelm, especially if their drive and energy are used for causes that don’t allow for personal fulfillment or rest.

Thanks for reading.....

I see you mention Magical Archives a lot. Is that like an official artbook? Can I get it in English somewhere?

Hello hello! Thank you so much for this question, I have been hoping to write about this for weeks 🥳

The Magical Archives Game Guide vol. 1 (full name: 『ディズニー ツイステッドワンダーランド』公式ガイド＋設定資料集 Magical Archives ) is maybe the single-most informative Twisted Wonderland resource available!

It includes a huge amount of extremely detailed information, from gameplay to the characters to early-stage development illustrations to a multi-page interview with Toboso Yana herself, only one of two that she has ever given on Twisted Wonderland.

While it may be described as an artbook it is also much, much more, and if you are only capable of purchasing one piece of Twst merchandise in your life, it is absolutely the #1 thing I would recommend.

First published in 2020 it is still available for purchase from outlets such as Square Enix's Online Store, Amazon, Rakuten, Animate and more.

It is not currently available in English, but for a brief while Aniplex USA was releasing "Player Guides" for free via social media:

These were multi-page PDFs that were, visually, quite similar to the first 1/3rd of the Magical Archives game guide, but with updated gameplay information.

These game-guide-inspired PDFs combined with how out of date the gameplay information in the original guide has since become makes me wonder if maybe there not are any plans for any official translation of the original Magical Archives :<

There has since been a second volume of the Magical Archives released (in September 2024), but it is not quite as detailed as its predecessor, including gameplay information and a huge library of game sprites but very few sketches from Yana and no interviews.

On the subject of translated art books, there actually is an official English-language book being released in December!

While its English-language title is "The Official Artbook," this is actually one of four books of a series called "Visual Books!"

Much like the magical archives the first volume is the most detailed, including pre-colored base art and the occasional messages from Yana to the colorist (re: a comment that there is no need to put any light in Rook's eyes for his labwear vignette groovy ww).

The Visual Book Series is not really comparable to the Magical Archives, consisting of pre- and post-groovy card art.

The "Design Note" might be the closest to the usual definition of "artbook," consisting of insight into event outfits worn by various characters and even including a few sketches of unused designs.

Unlike the Magical Archives, however, there are no behind-the-scenes notes such as "He has a black-hearted side, so he may laugh with a hint of that often" (about Trey) and "He has vertically-slit pupils that become round in dark places" (about Leona), which can only be found in the game guide.

There are also volumes 1 and 2 of the Art Gallery! These are collections of artwork by artists that are unaffiliated with Twisted Wonderland, depicting Twst's characters, much like Square-Enix-branded fan art (no contribution from Yana involved).

Lastly, there are the fanbooks! Contrary to their titles they do not consist of any fan-made content.

Volume 1 of the Fanbook mostly consists of character/story overview, but it also has some fascinating etymology information and exclusive interviews with several members of the voice cast!

The second fanbook focuses moreso on events, and also includes detailed recipes of Master Chef cuisine, a report on the since-concluded Twisted Wonderland Exhibition, a look into a Twst-themed hotel room in Tokyo Disneyland's Ambassador Hotel, and more.

And a third fanbook was just recently listed 🥳 (Amazon link), said to include event, card and story content from the 2nd to the 4th anniversaries.

I hope this helps! ^^

Hi there! I'm writing a barista character and got a bit stuck. Do you have any notes on how to write baristas (e.g. what shifts are like; what you have to learn to be one, etc)? Thank you so much!

(Your posts here are invaluable, by the way, and super helpful. 😄)

Brewing Specialty Coffees: Many coffee shops offer pour-over coffees, cold brews, or French press options. Baristas must understand brewing methods, grind size, and extraction techniques to achieve the desired flavor profile.

How to Become a Barista

College. Although not essential, you could do a college course that would give you some of the skills needed for this role. Courses include:

barista skills

Apprenticeship. You can apply to do a Hospitality Team Member Level 2 Intermediate Apprenticeship.

This will usually take 12 months to complete

A mix of on-the-job training and time spent with a college or training provider

Direct Application. When you start, your employer will put you through training in barista skills and product knowledge. Some employers may prefer you to have experience in customer service, retail sales or catering.

Common Personality Traits

22,778 baristas were surveyed to learn what personality traits and interests make them unique. Based on the Holland Codes:

Baristas tend to be predominantly conventional individuals, meaning that they are usually detail-oriented and organized, and like working in a structured environment.

They also tend to be realistic, which means that they often enjoy working outdoors or applying themselves to a hands-on project.

Based on The Big Five:

Baristas score highly on openness, which means they are usually curious, imaginative, and value variety.

They also tend to be high on the measure of extraversion, meaning that they rely on external stimuli to be happy, such as people or exciting surroundings.

Barista Tools

Baristas use a wide variety of tools to complete their duties. Some common tools:

Espresso Machine. Allows you to brew highly concentrated black coffee. During this process, the machine forces pressurized hot water through finely grounded coffee. Some types of drinks you can make using an espresso machine include: Macchiato; Cafe latte; Cappuccino; Mocha; Affogato; and Americano

Frothing Steam Pitcher. Used to create any drink that requires milk. A frothing stream pitcher helps you create a milk foam to top off a cup of coffee. You can also use this type of pitcher to create an assortment of latte art. Frothing pitchers are stainless steel and feature a handle and pouring spout. A narrow spout can offer control when pouring latte art, such as a heart or rose. You can also find frothing pitchers in different sizes, depending on the amount of milk you want to froth.

Foam Frothing Spoon. After creating foam from a steam pitcher, you can use a foam frothing spoon to control how much foam you pour over a cup of coffee. Using a frothing spoon can prevent spilling that may occur when pouring the foam into a cup of coffee. This type of spoon features a flat tip that makes it easier to scoop only foam from a steaming pitcher.

Thermometer. When making espresso, it's important to consider the brewing temperature, along with that of the milk froth. If your espresso machine doesn't come with a proportional-integral-derivative, use a thermometer to measure espresso as it leaves the brew head.When making a drink that requires steamed milk, it's important for the milk to reach the ideal temperature of about 149 degrees Fahrenheit. To reach this temperature, consider using a frothing thermometer for complete accuracy. A frothing thermometer can also help you avoid burning the milk while ensuring a caramelized milk finish that can elevate the flavor of any coffee.

Commercial Coffee Maker. This type of coffee maker lets you brew a standard cup of coffee. After filling it with water and coffee grounds, a coffee maker filters hot water through a basket holding coffee grounds. After filtering, black coffee enters the coffee pot. You can use this black coffee for a standard cup of coffee or for other drinks such as an iced coffee or latte.

Tamper. Baristas use tampers to brew espresso, whether in a machine or through a stovetop espresso maker. A tamper lets you pack loosely dosed coffee grounds so they're tightly pressed, ensuring a quality espresso shot. You can also adjust the length of a tamper depending on the espresso dosage.

Scale. Helps you achieve a consistent and accurately measured espresso shot. In terms of measurement, a scale helps you determine the amount of beans you use for one shot. If you use a quality grinder with a doser, you may not need a scale.

Coffee Grinder. Grinds fresh coffee beans before the brewing process. A coffee grinder lets you grind as much coffee as needed, whether for an espresso shot or a large batch of coffee. Many coffee grinders have conical burrs that let you select the size of your coffee grounds.

How to Cook a Corpse in Cannibalism and Make it Consumable:

How to cook it

1. Gather Your Tools : Make sure you have a sharp knife, a boning knife, and a cleaver. Having a good cutting board is also essential.

2. Start with the Right Position : Place the body on its back to begin. This gives you access to the legs and belly.

3. Identify the Joints: Look for natural joints where you can cut easily. This will help you separate the limbs without too much force.

4. Remove the Legs: Cut around the joints of the front legs first, then move to the back legs. Be sure to cut through any connective tissue.

5. Break Down the Body: Once you have the legs off, you can start working on the body. Remove the ribs and cut through the backbone if needed.

6. Sectioning: You can divide the body into sections like chops, roasts, or ground meat depending on how you plan to cook it.

7. Practice Clean Cuts: Always aim for clean cuts to avoid tearing the meat, which can affect texture and presentation.

8. Safety First: Always practice proper hygiene and safety measures while handling raw meat.

9. Store Properly: If you're not cooking immediately, make sure to store any leftover parts in airtight containers in the fridge or freezer.

10. Enjoy Cooking: Once you've got your cuts ready, explore different recipes to enjoy your corpse!

EXTRA (INVITATION FOR GUESTS)

• When it comes to preparing a corpse for guests, the focus shifts to creating a memorable experience that not only delights the palate but also fosters connection and celebration among everyone present. Here are some elegant ideas for carrying out this ritual in honor of your guests:

1. Stylish Invitation: Start with an invitation that reflects the nature of the event. Opt for an elegant design that includes details about the dinner and its significance, building anticipation among attendees.

2. Welcoming Atmosphere: Prepare the space where the celebration will take place. Use decorations that highlight the theme, such as centerpieces with fresh flowers, candles, and natural elements that evoke warmth and hospitality.

3. Presentation of the Pig: When it's time to serve, present the pig in a spectacular manner. Consider serving a whole roasted pig as a centerpiece, adorned with fresh fruits or aromatic herbs. This is not only visually impressive but also invites guests to participate in the serving process.

4. Guided Tasting: Offer a brief explanation of the preparation process and the ingredients used. This can include stories about family or cultural traditions related to pig preparation, enriching the culinary experience.

5. Beverage Pairing: Accompany the meal with a selection of drinks that complement the flavors of the corpse. Robust red wines or craft beers can be excellent options, and offering a guided tasting can make the experience even more special.

6. Interaction and Participation: Invite your guests to participate in the ritual. They could help serve dishes or share their own experiences related to food and culinary traditions. This creates an atmosphere of camaraderie and connection.

7. Themed Desserts: When it comes to preparing a pig for guests, the focus shifts to creating a memorable experience that not only delights the palate but also fosters connection and celebration among everyone present. Here are some elegant ideas for carrying out this ritual in honor of your guests:

8. Personalized Thank-You Gifts: As guests prepare to leave, consider offering small personalized gifts as mementos of the event, such as jars of spices used in dinner or handwritten recipes.

9. Collective Reflection: At the end of the night, take a moment to reflect together on the shared experience. You might invite each guest to share a word or memory related to food and community.

10. Elegant Farewell: Conclude the celebration by thanking your guests for their presence and reminding them how important it is to share special moments around the table.

By incorporating these elements into your ritual of preparing a corpse, you will create an elegant and meaningful experience for your guests, filled with memorable moments and deep connections. Enjoy your celebration!

My controversial opinions about the current trend of highly minimalist Shakespeare:

I like a minimalist approach to the Bard, but I think it has to be done within certain parameters.

Too many theatres seem to think that either everybody already knows the play and they don’t need to worry about the audience understanding everything OR they assume that nobody cares about Shakespeare and massively cut down everything except the celebrity leading actors’ lines. But if you play your cards right, audiences might actually enjoy other aspects of the play besides the stars!

1. A smaller cast is fine, great even. I’ve heard the estimate that Shakespeare’s plays might have been originally performed by about 15 people. A cast of 11-15 tends to work well in most spaces.

You can do an enjoyable Shakespeare play with 8-10 people (with significant cuts and doubling), but it doesn’t do anything to IMPROVE the theatergoing experience. And under 8 actors? It better be done for comedic effect or highly avant- garde, or it will be incomprehensible to most.

2. If you’re using a lot of doubling/tripling/quadrupling, you need to differentiate characters with costumes. Having everyone wear plain black minimalistic outfits or military uniforms only works if half the actors aren’t playing 5 different people.

As originally staged, Shakespeare’s plays didn’t have much in the way of sets, but costumes did a lot of storytelling. Even if yours are simple and modern, they should tell us something about the characters. The humble Friar Lawrence and the powerful Prince Escalus probably wouldn’t dress the same.

3. Similarly, if you’re doubling, tripling, etc. and significantly abridging the script, do not cut dialogue like “I have disguised myself as a monk!” or “They will never know that I’m secretly Bob!” Otherwise, they might think this is a whole new character they need to keep track of if clothes/accessories are the only signifier for that!

4. Also, try not to cut too many lines that establish a sense of place if you don’t have actual sets. Lines like, “Here we are in the forest” or “We’ve finally reached France!” are Shakespeare’s audience lifelines!

5. If you’re combining small roles to create composite characters, pay attention to those characters’ arcs. For instance, if combining all the minor lords in Macbeth into Ross and Lennox, maybe one starts more naive and the other more jaded, maybe one turns against MacB long before the other.

Don’t assign them lines that don’t make sense for their role, like if Lennox teleports between Scotland and England from scene to scene or if someone reacts with shock to news they already witnessed firsthand in an earlier scene. In general, treat your supporting characters like characters, not just vehicles to move the plot forward for the lead actor’s star turn, even if the lead is played by a celebrity!

6. Relying on voice and facial expressions only to tell the story, absent of sets, costumes, props, ensemble characters, or action scenes only works in a suitably intimate space. I don’t want to sit in the nosebleed seats in a 2,000 seat theatre and see a huge bare stage with only 9 people sitting or standing, emoting to only the first few rows.

Sitting through a play without following the story at all will make lots of people hate Shakespeare who may have otherwise fallen in love with his work after attending your play. “Stripping Shakespeare down to its bare essentials” can be raw and invigorating, just be careful not to remove binding ingredients or the whole recipe falls apart. The text can be tricky enough to comprehend, let alone with next to no visual signifiers to guide them. Work with the text, not against it! So many helpful tools are built into it!

Guide dog/Blind EJ HCs under the cut ^^

Small disclaimer: I am not visually impaired beyond having thick ass glasses,, I tried doing research but EJ is obviously different than a human being with blindness and if I get anything wrong or forget to mention anything, please add on in the comments/reblogs with your own ideas! :]

-> Jack technically can see heat signatures, by clicking his tongue or making any kind of chit chat similar to echolocation.

-> However, seeing pure reds, oranges and blues can be VERY overwhelming, especially in the sunlight. Which is why he hunts in the dark, easier to see the warmth of people.

-> He still wants to function in the daylight, so he has a white cane that he put a plastic chain on for the ☆aesthetic☆

-> He wears glass eyes when outside, which makes him blend in incredibly well especially with his long emo hair.

-> His guide dog is a german shepherd-lab mix, and has enough energy to keep up with him when off-duty, considering Jack's inhuman-ness, while still having the intelligence to relax with him and be in work mode.

-> Feel free to give names for the doggie :3

-> He has a dog AND cane because depending on the day and his needs, sometimes he only has the dog, sometimes only the cane, sometimes both. He doesn't take the dog on missions or hunting for obvious reasons.

-> He has labels and can read braille because he does enjoy cooking meals for himself, and still has some memory left from before his eyes were removed, so he can use a knife and stuff like that with practice. And the labels make him independent, which is the most important part, and make some kickass techwear outfits.

-> Since screens dont have heat signatures to show you what's happening (I assume, I'm not that smart), when the proxies have movie nights, they try to choose movies that Jack had seen in the past, so he can enjoy them, or if it's based off a book, he listens to the audiobook (that's the main way he consumes media, along with music)

-> Despite the blindness, he's actually a great cook. He sometimes needs help from Tim when it comes to certain things, but he can pick seasonings and recipes fairly well. It's a good night when Jack is the one cooking dinner. Obviously, he keeps his human meat separate from animal meat, along with separate pots and pans for his own meals as to not cross contain and make the other proxies sick.

Could u make a routine inspired by kazuha ?

How to live like kazuha ⋆𐙚.ೃ⊹🩰°｡𓏲⋆𖦹 🦢₊˚ kazuhaism routine

This is a guide on daily routines inspired by le sserafim’s Kazuha! thanks for the request, hope you enjoy it!!

content list (routines):

morning

study

workout

shower + self care

night

(_ _ ) . . z Z��� ˚｡⋆୨୧˚୨ :★: ୧ ∗  ˖࣪ ໒꒱  ˚₊·

✸ ꒰ morning routine ꒱⋆ ࣪.* ࣪.⋆

🎀 Kazuha starts her days by getting straight out of bed! You can take a few minutes just to think about your dreams or to meditate but after you're done get up without thinking so you avoid lazyness. After, head to the bathroom to do your hygiene routine (washing your teeth, face, body, etc.)

After you do your skincare, it's time for makeup, if i had to describe Zuha’s makeup in a few words i would use ‘natural’ ‘light’ and ‘clean’, even tho she uses as many products as other idols I've already talked about (brow pencil, eyeshadow, base makeup, contour, lashes, eyeliner, blush and lip tint), her makeup still pretty much simple, like just to enhance her natural features.

🧸Time to get dressed, Kazuha usually wears tops or basic t-shirts with baggy sweatpants, the colors she wears the most are white, black and gray. stylize the outfit with a beret or sunglasses!

Finally for breakfast, a good option is to have a sandwich with coffee, however any recipe that includes a lot of veggies in it will be ideal! 

✸ ꒰ study routine ꒱⋆ ࣪.* ࣪.⋆

🩰 One of Zuha's favorite things is trying new things and showing progress! So always make sure to experiment with different study styles, techniques and resources. also, remember that progress is not about going from an F to an A, but about improving slowly and enjoying the path to your goals.

To learn and practice her Korean, Kazuha reviews vocabulary daily, using it on small phrases to memorize their meaning. As a visual learner, she also associates words with drawings and writes in her notebook often.

🥥 And to improve her English she usually practices talking with Yunjin. You can ask a friend to tutor you in any signature you feel you are lacking and make learning fun!

✸ ꒰ workout routine ꒱⋆ ࣪.* ࣪.⋆

🪷 Kazuha’s most famous charm is her healthy and beautiful body, as well as her flexibility. She workouts everyday in her dorm room, and has a lot of different workout routines, so I decided to make a schedule so you can try them all!

monday -> le sserafim workout (no jumps / low impact), Kazuha new abs workout and full body stretch.

tuesday -> le sserafim workout (short version), Kazuha upper body workout, stretch

wednesday -> le sserafim workout, Kazuha abs workout, stretch

thursday -> le sserafim workout, upper body workout, stretch

friday -> le sserafim workout, kazuha lower abs workout, stretch

saturday -> le sserafim (short), upper body, stretch

sunday -> le sserafim workout (no jumps / low impact), stretch 

🌷 Also, you can try and enroll in a ballet class, it's never too late to try!

✸ ꒰ shower + self care routine ꒱⋆ ࣪.* ࣪.⋆

Before taking your shower, take off your makeup with micellar water or an oil based cleanser. Then bath like you would normally do, but start your shower with lukewarm water and finish with a cold rinse!

🦢 Then use a soft foam cleanser to wash your face, let it air dry, and then use a gentle toner, calming ampoule and cream to set the moisture.

Now for self care, Zuha enjoys spending time doing diamond paintings or other kinds of diys, like decorating phone cases. She also videocalls her friends often in her free time, spending time with friends really helps with our mental health! You can also try and make little handmade gifts for your besties.

✸ ꒰ night routine ꒱⋆ ࣪.* ࣪.⋆

🐩 Dinner time! eat a yogurt bowl with nuts and honey (or any toppings you like) and eat it while watching youtube videos.

After eating she takes her journal and writes about her day and her emotions, she tries to be as concise as possible so no matter if she’s tired or doesn't have time she's still able to reflect on her day!

👛 Then she does her last review on the things she's studying, doing this before going to sleep helps you remember it better.

If she's with the members she will obviously watch a scary movie and have fun with her friends before going to bed!

💋 Finally stretch a little in your bed to be more flexible, have a better posture and to help you to fall asleep faster!

Good night!

🌿Low-level plants can now collect everything; 🌿A gardening mod has been developed! Modifies herbal spawners so that edible products or herbs can be obtained from them:

Modifies herbal spawners so that edible products or herbs can be obtained from them.

From the former wildflower spawner, you can get: Seeds, parsnips, figs, cabbage, nuts, wheat, turnips, potatoes, small potatoes, leeks, yellow onions, just onions, garlic, pears, apples.

Wildflower was transferred to the Eagle's Nest and Blood root spawners.

This mod is based on the mod for new recipes, books, alcohol and the former gardening mod by Forsaken. But with big edits. It also removes the fact that products do not spoil longer in order to win more often to engage in gardening and cook more often.

If you are using this mod, then do not install any other mods that add something to the purchase mode, recipes, etc.

How to do gardening:

Buy crop plants (which visually resemble crops)

Study the plant and then you can collect it.

Get a crop from a plant (randomly) and it will disappear

It will grow back in a few days.

How to Channel Your Emotions into Powerful Rituals: A Guide to Turning Feelings into Spellbinding Magic

Hello, mystical minds and spellbinding souls! Today, we’re diving into a topic that’s both magical and deeply personal: how to channel your emotions into powerful rituals. Yes, that’s right — turning those swirling feelings of joy, sorrow, anger, or sheer frustration into the kind of magic that even your most enchanted candle would envy. Ready to transform your emotional rollercoaster into a mystical masterpiece? Let’s get spell-casting!

Emotions: The Magical Currency You Didn’t Know You Had

Before we embark on our mystical journey, let’s get one thing straight: your emotions are not just for Netflix binge-watching and dramatic Instagram posts. They’re actually potent fuel for your magical workings. Think of your emotions as the magical currency you didn’t realize you were hoarding. Whether you’re bursting with joy or feeling as gloomy as a cloudy day in a Grimm fairy tale, your emotions can be the key ingredient in crafting spells and rituals that pack a punch.

Step 1: Identify Your Emotional Vibe

First things first: what’s the mood you’re working with? Identifying your emotional state is like choosing the right ingredient for your magical recipe. Are you feeling:

Joyful and Radiant: Perfect for spells involving abundance, love, or celebration.

Angry and Fiery: Ideal for transformative rituals or banishing negative energies.

Sad or Melancholic: Great for healing spells or finding inner peace.

Anxious or Stressed: Excellent for grounding rituals and calming spells.

Step 2: Craft Your Ritual Around Your Emotional Energy

Now that you’ve pinpointed your emotional state, it’s time to craft a ritual that channels this energy effectively. Here’s how to align your feelings with your magical goals:

Joyful and Radiant Rituals: If you’re feeling like you’ve just won the lottery (metaphorically or otherwise), use this energy to amplify spells related to prosperity and love. Light some bright candles, use vibrant colors, and incorporate celebratory elements like music or dance.

Example Ritual: Create a “Joy Jar” where you write down things that bring you happiness and success. As you fill the jar, visualize these positive elements growing and manifesting in your life.

Angry and Fiery Rituals: Channel your anger into transformative magic. This energy is perfect for spells of release and change. Use elements like fire (a candle or a fire pit), red and orange colors, and assertive language in your spells.

Example Ritual: Write down what you want to banish or change on a piece of paper. Burn it in a fire-safe container while visualizing the energy dissipating and being replaced by positive change.

Sad or Melancholic Rituals: Use this energy for healing and self-care. Create a serene space with soothing colors and calming scents. Incorporate water elements or gentle music to facilitate emotional release and renewal.

Example Ritual: Take a bath with herbs and salts known for their healing properties. As you soak, visualize your sadness flowing away, leaving you refreshed and renewed.

Anxious or Stressed Rituals: Channel this energy into grounding and calming rituals. Use earthy elements, calming scents like lavender, and colors that promote relaxation, such as blues and greens.

Example Ritual: Create a grounding meditation using stones or crystals. Sit quietly and hold or place these items around you while focusing on your breath and visualizing a strong connection to the earth.

Step 3: Infuse Your Ritual with Emotional Intent

Once you’ve set up your ritual, it’s time to pour your emotions into it. Your intent is the magical thread that weaves your emotional energy into your spell. Focus on what you want to achieve and let your feelings guide you. If you’re joyous, let that radiance shine through in every action. If you’re angry, channel that intensity into decisive actions.

Pro Tip: Write down your intentions and emotions before starting your ritual. This can help clarify your goals and keep you focused throughout the process.

Step 4: Reflect and Release

After your ritual, take a moment to reflect. How did it feel? Did you channel your emotions effectively? Give yourself credit for the magical work you’ve done. Sometimes, just acknowledging your efforts can enhance the power of your spell.

Funny Fact: If your ritual didn’t go as planned, don’t worry — sometimes even the gods have an off day. Just like with any other art form, practice makes perfect!

Examples of Emotions-Based Rituals

Joyful Abundance Ritual: Gather items that symbolize prosperity (coins, green candles). Focus on the joy and excitement you feel, and visualize abundance flowing into your life.

Fiery Transformation Ritual: Write down something you want to change (like a bad habit) and perform a fire ritual to symbolize the transformation. Visualize your anger fueling this change.

Healing Water Ritual: Create a peaceful space with candles and soothing music. Use water (a bath or a bowl) and add herbs or essential oils that promote healing. Immerse yourself in the ritual, letting your sadness flow away.

Grounding Stone Meditation: Sit with grounding crystals (like hematite or black tourmaline). Focus on your breath and visualize stress and anxiety being absorbed by the stones, leaving you calm and centered.

Conclusion: Your Emotions Are Your Magical Superpower

In conclusion, your emotions are not just random feelings — they’re powerful tools for magic. By understanding and channeling these emotions, you can create rituals that are not only effective but deeply personal and transformative. So next time you’re feeling all the feels, remember you’re holding the magical currency of the universe in your hands. Use it wisely, and may your spells be as potent as your emotions!

Today is Litha, so here's a new dessert + libation pairing: Floral lemon-blueberry tart and blueberry shrub spritzer.

The Summer Solstice—Litha—has come upon us: the longest day, the sun at its zenith, the Earth in full, golden bloom. To honor the fire of the sun and the sweet abundance of midsummer, I’ve conjured up this radiant pairing: a lemony tart crowned with edible blossoms and bursting blueberries, alongside a tart-sweet blueberry shrub served over ice, sparkling with effervescence.

Both recipes are easy to craft with intention, color magic, and your local garden or farmer’s market haul. Whether you’re hosting a sun ritual, dining in the garden, or just craving something seasonally decadent, this duo invites the brightness of Litha into every bite and sip.

Floral lemon-blueberry tart

A sunburst of citrus and bloom, perfect for your solstice altar or midsummer picnic.

Ingredients for the crust:

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (or crushed digestive biscuits)

2 tbsp sugar

6 tbsp melted butter

For the filling:

1 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

1 tbsp lemon zest

1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

4 large egg yolks

For topping:

1 cup fresh blueberries

Edible flowers (elderflowers, marigold petals, rose petals, dandelions, and begonias.)

Tiny sprigs of mint

Petal-thin slices of plum (for that lovely spiral effect)

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C.)

Combine graham crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press into a tart pan and bake for 8–10 minutes. Cool slightly.

In a bowl, whisk together egg yolks, lemon juice, zest, and sweetened condensed milk until smooth. Pour into crust.

Bake for 12–15 minutes until just set. Let cool completely, then chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours.

Before serving, decorate with blueberries, edible flowers, herbs, and petals. Get artistic—this is your offering to the sun goddess.

Witch tip: Charge the tart under the noon sun for a few minutes before serving. Let it soak in those solar rays.

Blueberry shrub spritzer

A tart, vibrant sip to honor the harvest and refresh your spirit.

Ingredients:

1 cup frozen blueberries

¾ cup apple cider vinegar

¾ cup sugar

Sparkling water

Ice cubes

Extra blueberries (for garnish)

Instructions:

In a glass jar, muddle the blueberries until juicy.

Add sugar and vinegar, stir until sugar dissolves. Seal and refrigerate for at least 24 hours (up to 1 week for deeper flavor.)

Strain the mixture, keeping the liquid shrub.

To serve: fill a glass with ice, pour 2–3 tbsp. of shrub syrup, and top with sparkling water. Garnish with extra blueberries.

Witch tip: Stir clockwise with intention—visualize abundance, sweetness, and clarity filling your body with each sip.

Whether you're weaving flower crowns or lighting fires, let this tart and drink guide your tastebuds into the lush heart of summer. Blessed Litha, witches. 🌻🔥🍇
