How to Study Resources

Many people in the modern day pagan/polytheist communities are young. As such, a majority of them are neurodivergent, like I am. For me, that means a majority of the language used in resources is difficult to understand. This was originally going to be a post about that, but the more I wrote, the more I realised that many people, neurodivergent or not, just... don't know how to study resources. So, if you are someone that also struggles, I now present to you... my full guide on how to study resources.

Little disclaimer: I myself am a hellenic polytheist, but this guide is for anyone that struggles with understanding information from resources, whether you are a hellenic polytheist, norse polytheist, kemetic polytheist, etc. Though do understand that I am writing from the perspective of a hellenic polytheist, so I am bound to make mistakes when it comes to religions I am less educated on. You are always welcome to adjust anything I say here to fit your own religion accordingly.

Let's get started.

Firstly, you have to find resources. Many people happen to get stuck here, unfortunately.

How do I know what to research to begin with? When starting out, the general consensus among the polytheist/pagan communities is to research the related historical practice. How the deities were worshipped, what contexts they were worshipped in, the history of the deities, etc etc... all of these are very important factors to consider as a beginner. Only by knowing the history can you then delve deeper into specific terms and specific paths that may be right for you!

How do I find resources? Unfortunately, a lot of resources are behind paywalls or just plain hard to find. Here is a list of websites that I personally use and recommend:

scholar.google.com

academia.edu

pdfdrive.com

library.memoryoftheworld.org

libcom.org

libretexts.org

standardebooks.org

By the way, just a reminder that if you find a resource but there is a pesky paywall in your way, you can probably find it on archive.org for free!

How do I choose a resource though? If you are part of hellenic polytheism, then theoi.com is a great resource, but I always like to add primary sources into my research + not everyone reading this will be part of helpol. Try to find primary sources, first and foremost. Then read historical accounts. Then read secondary sources. Also, make sure your author is reliable! (that link is only for hellenic polytheism though, apologies. If you are not part of hellenic polytheism, then looking into who the author is/was as a person and what sort of contributions they made and beliefs they held never failed me personally!)

Found your resource? Made sure the author is reliable? Wonderful! Now what?

This is usually where the procrastination hits for me. Either that, or I get hyperfocused for a while but never complete it and then lose interest.

To avoid that, break things down and establish a routine. You do not have to finish a book in a day, or understand everything you read straight away. Setting those kinds of expectations for yourself will only make things so much more difficult.

Instead, make a routine for yourself. Outlined below is my routine:

Getting into the mindset. I always like to get myself into the mindset of studying by praying, whether this is studying for school or studying a resource. Since my entire life is devoted to lord Apollon, I pray to Him for it. However, if I am researching a specific god, I will typically pray to them instead. However, sometimes I do not have the spoons to write out a prayer, so I typically just adjust my surroundings instead. Turning my LED lights to a warmer colour and putting on some lofi music usually helps me! The studyblr community has great tips for this part! I also recommend I Miss My Cafe.

Reading. First, I try to read without annotating or taking notes. This is the time to take in the information, to try and grasp what I am reading. This is usually the most difficult part for me, because a lot of academic sources tend to use advanced language and sentence structures that are difficult for me to understand. Unfortunately, the only tip I have for this part is to read as slowly as you need. Do not be ashamed for taking your time. Typically, I only like to read one paragraph before I move onto the next step.

Annotation. This is where I re-read the paragraph I just read. Typically, I like to re-word the paragraph in a simpler way for me to understand. Sometimes I notice little patterns that may connect back to something I've read prior, whether in another book or earlier in the same book. When that happens, that is something I add too! Remember, you do not have to annotate. If it makes it easier, then perfect! If it does not, discard it.

Consult study tools. This is where I cross-reference with other resources. This is how the entire process repeats again. Though, you do not just have to use books for this part! YouTube videos, podcasts, online resources, etc etc...these always help too!

Application. After vetting the information, consider how it would apply to your life, if at all.

Of course, that's just my routine. You are always welcome to use it, but I also greatly encourage you to create your own routine so that you can cater it to your learning style!

I also recommend setting a time limit for yourself. If you have not completed a chapter within the time limit, that is okay! The most important thing about researching is making sure you are not guilting yourself into biting off more than you can chew. Take your time, you have a lot of it.

Research is vital to religions like ours, and research should be something everyone can do! Just because you may need some accommodations does not make you any less intelligent. We all learn differently. That is okay.

I hope this post can serve as something helpful for those who struggle in this area, and as a reminder that you are not alone in your struggles. If you have any questions or would like further clarification on some points, feel free to reach out!

ooh, sugar pie, honey bunch | damian wayne cooking for you ˚｡⋆ ୨୧

masterlist

damian wayne is, above everything, a perfectionist. it’s a double edged sword, really. it means he’s a hard-worker, and he’s willing to give his all to achieve what he wants, but it also means he sets standards too high for himself.

so when he gets in a relationship with you, he’s determined to be the best boyfriend the world has ever known.

given his reserved nature and his obvious lack of interest in most people, he’s not the most experienced when it comes to relationships — so when he decided to attempt cooking for the first time, he resorted to good old intensive research.

research indicates that couples who cook for each other feel more engaged, present, and appreciated in their relationships.

‘seems reasonable’. he thought to himself. you’ll definitely be very pleased — he can already picture it. the slight squint in your eyes when you’ll smile as he presents the food, the compliments you’ll give. he’s got this.

it starts of too easy. he scours the internet for a recipe he deems adequate. he chooses a vegan recipe that seemed perfect in theory, except he severely miscalculated the level of his cooking skills.

he asks alfred for help picking ingredients but dismisses any kind of assistance or input when it came to actual cooking, confident there would be no problems. he’s damian al ghul wayne after all — notable strategist, master of martial arts, hero and protector of gotham…

and a disaster in the kitchen.

the sauce is way too overcooked, but somehow the pasta is way too hard still. the ingredients are clashing with each other in a myriad of different flavors, the ones from the original recipe, and the ones he put him trying to fix it. — he doesn’t present it to you, just cleans it up and pretends it never happened.

well, mostly. because then and there, it had become a personal challenge.

he spent the following days watching tutorials, reading cookbooks with tips for beginners. a week later, he is standing in the kitchen again, the countertops of the kitchen are full of ingredients of the same recipe he claims ‘defeated’ him. sleeves are rolled up. he’s even rocking a damn apron.

“watch and learn, titus” he looks over at the great dane lounging on the floor, staring back at him in curiosity.

he takes his time, always double checking every step to make sure he’s doing everything right. he’s determined to make this perfect. and when he’s finally done, he’s beaming with joy. he’s victorious once again, left only with a giant mess he has to clean up.

later that day, the smell of food fills the dining room in a delicious embrace, you find already waiting for you, a mahogany table is set up for a meal, a cream-colored linen table runner, embroidered with a subtle Wayne crest in silver thread, runs down the center. he pulls a chair so you can sit down, his serious expression contrasting his expectant eyes as he serves you the dinner he made.

his shoulders relax as you, you compliment his food, taking another bite with enthusiasm.

“only the best for you, my beloved”

Stoner!Vi x Nonsmoker!Reader

This is my first time ever creating a post like this. I apologize for the beginner writing, but am hoping to develop this more and make it more unique. If you have any tips I am more than happy to hear them! Hope you enjoy this yap sesh!

T.W: Marijuana use, suggestive content, slightly NSFW

₊˚ ‿︵‿︵‿︵୨୧ · · ♡ · · ୨୧‿︵‿₊˚ ‿︵‿︵‿︵୨୧ · · ♡ · · ୨୧‿

Thinking about Stoner!Vi and nonsmoker!Reader who recently start dating and go to parties together. Reader glued to Vi’s lap most of the night, watching those talented fingers roll joint after joint. Maybe its the second-hand high or the new lingerie set you were gifted pre party, but watching her smoke is like its own category of porn at this point. Then she does it, grabbing your jaw and kissing you, the tase of weed on her soft lips have you melting, heat shooting through you.

“Can I have some too?”, looking up through your lashes, slight pout to your lips.

This catches Vi off guard, “You -” She hesitates , “Cupcake, you want to smoke?” Pulling her full attention to you.

“Yeah, I know I said no before but I think I’m ready” You explain confidently, sliding your hand down her arm letting it linger . You know how touchy Vi likes to be when high, you take the opportunity to try it out.

She looks stunned for a moment, you don’t drink often, and here you are asking to smoke weed and touching her. Fuck Vi can’t help the excitement coursing through her.

“Okay, give me a sec.”, grabbing the tray, grinder, and papers, you watch her roll again. Grabbing the lighter attached to her carabiner, she lights the joint.

Putting it in her mouth she lifts and places you more comfortably on her lap now straddling her .She inhales then, grabs your chin, lips almost touching and exhales, smoke fills your lungs. slightly coughing, you exhale not feeling much other than the pulse between your legs.

“Again” You say out of breath, shifting on her lap.

₊˚ ‿︵‿︵‿︵୨୧ · · ♡ · · ୨୧‿︵‿₊˚ ‿︵‿︵‿︵୨୧ · · ♡ · · ୨୧‿

One Joint later, you can’t stop touching her. Her skin so soft and so toned, all you can think about is her laying you down and slamming into you, over and-

Grabbing your chin she looks you over, the red glossy eyes and the laboured breathing, as you keep adjusting on her lap.

“If I didn't know any better," still holding on to your chin, lowering to your ear, “ I would think those panties I got you are ruined aren't they cupcake?”

isolated doe ୨୧◞　 ──　 𝓐𝓻𝓽𝓱𝓾𝓻 𝓜𝓸𝓻𝓰𝓪𝓷

synopsis: after ur horse bucks u off after a fright and ur now left stranded alone in the forest across roanoke valley. unsure of what to do, u settle down for the night before hearing some heavy footsteps... and u froze.

tags ͡˚̣̣̣𓎟𓎟　 naive femreader, mid to low honour, dated and typical period idealogy　 a.m ౨ৎ ⋆ ｡ ˚

chapter 2

u weren't sure what to do anymore, completely lost since ur home was in the middle of literally nowhere. u were out on ur horse, hazel going on another simple ride through the beautiful scenery that roanoke ridge had to offer. a pretty view within a prettier country. only for something to scare ur horse, causing u to be bucked off before hazel ran far away and u sighed softly. what can u do now? it's not like u can just walk home as u were maybe a few miles away? just a guess…

u were walking aimlessly in the woods by now, not even sure where u are or what u should do, especially since the sun was beginner to disappear. there were little rips below ur dress due to the branches attaching themselves to the fabric, and ur shirt was following that same fate. the only hope u hoped for is that nature would be kind to u and kept the hungry animals away. soon, u felt ur legs beginning to get tired with each step u took.

u gave up, accepting defeat as u settle down in the clearing of a forest, the wooden pricks pressing against ur back uncomfortably but there's nothing u can do now, until the morning came and you could walk some more. luckily, it wasn't too cold, but u did feel the breeze of the night air. u didn't like how eerily quiet it was either or if u just couldn't hear anything or.. anyone for miles, u were in the middle of nowhere after all.

but then, u heard a twig snap, like it broke under someone's heavy footstep and caused u to be alert. although u couldn't see anything in the darkness, something in ur gut was telling u there was someone here, someone horrible. u didn't move, like a deer in headlights. being struck with fear, ur breathing quicken slightly as ur eyes fell onto a tall figure coming towards u. ur lips quivered with fear as u did ur best to get up on ur feet before tripping over a branch, causing u to go back to where u started, on the ground.

“woah there, i ain't gonna harm ya..”

ur soft but scared gaze remained up at him as u backed up to another tree. u didn't even talk back in case he was one of those bad men u have heard about, the murfree brothers?... or something like that? u weren't too sure. since it was only a glance that u would take to the posters on ur travels through annesburg.. they were some scary men in this world, and he looked like he was one of them. or were u wrong?

to him, it was maybe wrong to think of u like this in this moment since u were absolutely terrified of him, but u were a very pretty girl. ur face remained him of those porcelain dolls he saw by the window of shops in the big city of saint denis, with those big eyes and rosey cheeks. ur hair looked soft as silk, just what he'd do to comb his thick fingers through ur hair just once.

“...are ye lost? i could help ya, if ye let me, that is.”

should u talk? or should u get up and run away as fast as u possibly could? despite feeling the tiredness that already runs through ur body. u needed to rest, and u were at least smart enough to know there was no way that u could outrun this man. he looked like he was a traveller of sorts, a hunter, perhaps? either way, u knew he wasn't the type to be easily fooled. he seemed nice enough, but u just weren't too sure about what to make of him.

“... my horse bucked me off, somethin’ scared my girl and she ran off, leavin’ me… could you give me a ride home? please, sir?” u didn't consider urself a religious girl, but u prayed and prayed mentally that he'd help u, although something in ur gut was telling u that u should run—

“‘course. i don't mind, miss. d'ya need help up?” he says, the gruff in his voice showing through before he gives u his hand. he must be a hard-working man, callous and hardness make their appearance on his hands as u look at them for a second.

u hesitantly took a hold and he pulled u up to ur feet, a small sigh left ur lips, glad that he had the kindness in his heart to help a girl like u out, despite how scary the outside was during nightfall.

“do you know where reed cottage is? near the valley?”

“yes i think i do, miss. ‘nd don't worry, yer okay.” he replied before u felt his hand rest on the small of ur back, guiding u back to the clearing of the main road and u see a beautiful brown horse, big and brooding.

“she's a stern girl but yer alrigh’.” the older man added with w chickle before he helped u up onto his horse. he hitched up no long after. with a small “hyah” the horse began to trot along the road, and ur arms rested around his torso as u didn't want to fall off, either.

u were quiet, he wasn't much of a talker either and that u didn't mind, just didn't expect to see anyone out at this time of night. although, u couldn't but shake the feeling that u should say something, break the silence between u two, but u were too nervous. u didn't want to anger him, and he tells u to leave him alone. u were just a skittish and shy girl. been on ur own for as long as u can remember. now, ur staring, and u didn't mean to. it was a habit of urs. his hair was long, and he had a big stature to match his broad shoulders, like he was swiftly shielding u away. he was wearing dark gloves that matched his dark hat.

“y'got a name, miss?”

“... [name].”

“a pretty name for a pretty girl, suits ya.” he replies, looking over his shoulder for a moment just so u can hear him better, and u did.

did he… give u a compliment? u weren't even sure how to react before ur rosey cheeks got more of a red hue to them. shaking urself out of ur thoughts, u hesitantly spoke back.

“what's ur name, sir?”

he didn't say anything for a few moments, like he was now the one hesitating. do u know who he is? there's no way that u do since he hasn't done anything illegal here, yet. he should be okay, right? only one way to find out…

“... arthur. arthur morgan.” he replies as he returns his gaze back to the road. and to his fortunate luck, u had no idea who he was, and he was determined to keep it that way. he didn't want u to find out… all that.

“thank you for your help.. um, mr morgan.”

“‘s nothin’. just doin’ what any other man would do.”

hc! on the sunny side of the street

jackie taylor x fem!reader

summary: jackie taylor has a massive crush on you.

warnings: jackie not being subtle at all, reader is a yellowjacket, pure fluff, not proofread

୨୧ jackie was on the sunny side of the street every time you were near and she was very obvious about that.

୨୧ you joined the team last year and, at first, you were frightened of her. judging the book by its cover, jackie fulfilled every requirement to be a successful and typical mean girl; silky and shiny hair, extremely popular, team captain and a huge collection of admirers.

୨୧ it took you half a second to alter the perception you had of her when you joined her in the locker room after the short reunion you had with coach martinez. jackie was so energetic and excited to welcome you in, with an inviting smile and arms enthusiastically pulling you closer to a warm embrace. the sweet perfume of her lingered on your mind for days.

୨୧ on your first day as a yellowjacket, most of the girls were receptive and patient and ready to help you in whatever you needed.

୨୧ “okay, everyone. let’s give her some space!” jackie used her bossy team captain voice to disperse the crowd of curious people around you. at the second the other girls backed off just enough, she grabbed your arm and started to gush about a new party that was happening on friday night, inviting you to go with her.

୨୧ jackie didn’t want to give you some space. that girl wanted you to give you a space from the others!

୨୧ remember that jackie wasn’t subtle at all? well.

୨୧ during practice, van failed it to stop the ball a few times and even though it was no big deal, jackie got furious.

୨୧ “if we can’t even catch a ball, maybe we shouldn’t even bother to try for the nationals!” she lectured the team with arms folded across her chest and flushed cheeks for running too much.

୨୧ “it was just a mistake, jackie. relax!” taissa is the first one to defend her girlfriend, never afraid of going against jackie.

୨୧ “a mistake that could cost us a lot!”

୨୧ but then, the moment you literally tripped over the ball with your big ass feet and fell on your face, jackie was all over you with concerned eyes and tender touches on your arms to help you up.

୨୧ “are you serious? she sucks.” mari scoffs, rolling her eyes. a few of the girls were covering their faces with their hands to hide a laugh.

୨୧ “don’t say that. it was just a mistake! everyone makes mistakes sometimes.” jackie snarled at mari and decided to ignore the multiple death stares at her when she ignored your beginner mistake just to yell at van for something harder than just chase a ball.

୨୧ “you have to be fucking kidding me.” tai sighs.

୨୧ the very next day during practice, everyone was warming up and getting ready when jackie came in. hair flawlessly soft with a yellow ribbon adorning it.

୨୧ “attention, everyone! the nationals are coming, as all of you may know, and i thought it was a great idea to work on our speed. so…” she smiles proudly, hands forming a cup to hold a few pieces of paper. “i’ll randomly select a few people every day to run around the field for five minutes.”

୨୧ at the speed of light, all of the girls began to protest and call jackie a crazy girl. it was a lot, actually. the field was huge and if you were a panting mess after a simple practice, you would be dead after running for five minutes.

୨୧ “come on, yellowjackets. don’t you wanna win the big game?” she tries to encourage them with a forced smile, while disregarding the discontent comments.

୨୧ knowing that neither of you had a say on this, the silence settled in when jackie began to choose people and you were praying to all of the gods to not be chosen.

୨୧ “and the first one is…” she holds a small piece of paper in the air and reads the name written on it. “mari!”

୨୧ “are you serious? that’s not random, i saw you looking at it! i wanna see the it.” mari defends herself and jackie pull her hands back to her chest, protecting the papers like it was something worth of dying for.

୨୧ jackie knew damn well why she couldn’t show the papers. she spent a few minutes of her night yesterday writing only mari’s name on a sheet of paper. she could just pick someone else who was bothering you later tomorrow, she thought.

୨୧ “jackie, this is cruel. you’re just mad at her cause she said something about your precious girlfriend.” nat stands up this time, visibly annoyed.

୨୧ “and the second chosen one is natalie” jackie looks straight at the blondie, not even bothering to look at the names in her hands and act surprised. “have fun.”

୨୧ she was definitely favoring you and you were worried that everyone would hate you for that.

୨୧ if jackie wasn’t defending you from the girls passive aggressive comments, she was glued by your side like a god damn guardian dog.

୨୧ “good job today. you look so pretty.” says jackie after you missed the ball twice, kicked shauna’s leg by accident, almost lost balance when nat accidentally bumped into you and your hair was wildly all over the place. ignoring all of that, she definitely made you blush.

୨୧ it was quite a performance, an adorable and smart one. she would bat eyelashes, twirling her hair around her finger like in those cliche movies and acting all giggly and foolishly before saying goodbye.

୨୧ shauna would always give jackie a ride home and at the moment she got into the car, shauna was looking at her like 🤨 “what the fuck was all that about?”

PARK SUNGHOON [성훈] ── 𝐎𝐍𝐄 𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐓

୨୧ pairing : !nonidol hoon x fem potter!reader ꒰wc : 590꒱

୨୧ genre + content warnings : fluff, slight skinship, not proof read

୨୧ synopsis : in which sunghoon, the new guy in town spots a pottery club and joins because of the pretty girl he saw mentoring in the window.

writer's note ─ what the...juno's first ever work that isn't c.ai bot related??? this must be a dream.. (hehe im joking) anyways enough with the sarcasm--I finally decided to upload this story that's been in my drafts for a while. ik it's not what you're usually used to but lmk what you think of it and if I should continue >< if you enjoyed reading it, please be sure to like & reblog !! ♡

sunghoon hadn’t planned on joining a pottery club. in fact, he hadn’t planned on much beyond unpacking his boxes and finding the nearest coffee shop. but as he mindlessly wandered down the charming main street of his new small town, something—or rather, someone—caught his eye.

the large window in front of the small building cramped between a bookstore and a bakery offered a glimpse of what lay inside: clay-covered hands shaping a delicate piece, laughter echoing softly, and cozy lighting. but what truly captivated sunghoon was the girl behind the wheel. her hair was tied up in a messy bun, a few stray strands framing her face as she concentrated on the clay piece in front of her. she looked like a masterpiece in the making, even with all those smudged beige streaks on her cheeks.

without thinking twice and perhaps blindly urged by his smitten heart, sunghoon pushed open the door, the bell above chiming cheerfully. he approached the counter, trying to appear casual as he signed up for a beginner's class.

the next day, he found himself sitting in a circle of eager faces, dressed casual in a stone grey knit zip up—clay ready at hand. his heart raced when the girl from the window stepped forward, your features even more captivating in person.

"hi, everyone! i'm y/n, and i'll be your mentor for today.”

sunghoon's attempts at crafting anything remotely vase-like were laughable. his first piece looked like it had been crafted by a particularly enthusiastic toddler, another imaging more of a lopsided pancake recipe gone wrong. so—maybe pottery wasn’t his thing. he glanced around, hoping no one noticed, only to lock eyes with none other than you. you smiled, a glint of amusement in your eyes as you made your way over to him.

"need some help?" you asked, your voice warm and gentle.

"very. turns out pottery isn't my hidden talent," sunghoon replied with a soft sigh and bashful smile, scratching the back of his neck in embarrassment.

you chuckled, your laugh like music to his ears. "don’t worry, you're here to learn right? let's start from the basics.”

as you slowly guided his hands with your own clay covered ones, sunghoon couldn't help but notice the spark in her eyes, the way your fingers danced with the clay like it was meant to be sculpted and formed with your delicate digits. through your gentle ministration and shared laughter, his lump of clay began to take shape, though it still resembled a vase only in the most generous sense.

by the end of the class, sunghoon had a crooked pot he was oddly proud of and a heart that felt a bit fuller. you handed him a wet cloth to clean his hands.

“not bad for your first try,” you spoke out, nudging him with your elbow as you stared down at your clay-stained apron. “with a bit more practice, you might even make something useful.”

sunghoon grinned, feeling a flutter of hope. “i guess i’ll just have to keep coming back then.”

you couldn’t help but crack a smile at his words, eyes sparkling with amusement. “i guess you will.”

and as he left the studio that day—he swore he saw your gaze on him through the window. suddenly moving to this small town felt like the best decision he’d ever made, and if learning pottery meant more time with you, he was more than ready to become the next great potter.

or, at the very least, the guy who made you laugh.

𝓢igning off... @penghoon

Clairsenses — A Theory

So, this post has been in the works for quite a while. I have contemplated making this post vs not making it, but with the amount of times I happen to repeat all this information anytime somebody asks for advice on how to improve their clairsenses, I figured I'd just make a big post for myself and others to refer to when needed. It also serves as a way for me to solidify a theory I've had about clairsenses for quite a while, so there goes two birds.

I want to preface this by saying that I am by no means an expert, and that this is just a theory in the works that makes the most sense for my experiences and what I've seen others experience. This theory makes learning any other clairsense so much easier in so many peoples' experiences (because I have shared it with many people and they have confirmed that it helps), but I am no scientist or expert. While I highly recommend using this theory in your practice to develop your clairsenses, in the event that it does not work for you, that is okay. But like I said, I strongly recommend it.

With that out of the way, let's get started.

First off, what are clairsenses? Clairsenses are, by extension, similar to the 'sixth sense' concept. They are extra senses that correspond with the 5 senses we already have, but they operate on a different 'plane'. Most people use them to reach beyond the veil and into the beyond, whether that be with ghosts, spirits, deities, or anything else. Each clair operates like a radio frequency where you can tune into one or more to receive information.

There are different types of clairsenses, each of them pertaining to the 5 senses that we already have. So there is clairvoyance, pertaining to sight, and clairaudience, pertaining to hearing, and so on.

There are many theories about how clairsenses even work, but for the sake of my theory, we will go with: clairsenses are extra senses that help the individual process energy from a different plane of being through sensory filters.

A common phenomenon in clairsenses is that some people happen to be naturally good at one or more type of clairsense. I will address this later in my theory.

So, by the definition of clairsenses are extra senses that help the individual process energy from a different plane of being through sensory filters, the question that inspired this theory and this post is, how can I develop clairsenses? Everyone has the ability to do so, but just how?

In short, my theory is that clairsentience is the base and foundation of every clairsense, and to learn any clairsense, it's much easier to start by learning and mastering clairsentience.

In accordance with my definition, clairsentience is the clair that allows an individual to be aware of any surrounding energies. You cannot necessarily see, or hear, or taste, or touch, but you know it is there. Clairsentience is often the most common clairsense that many people don't actually know they have.

It all boils down to the fact that if you're able to "feel" the energies, then it's much easier to put them through a sensory filter. That's how it makes every other clair easier to learn. It's a bit of wordplay too—without being sentient, you cannot begin to process any other senses.

But Chrys, how are people born with clairsenses that they are naturally adept at without having clairsentience?

Clairsenses work like translation. I'll use clairaudience as an example here. You tune into the energy, and you begin to notice small fluctuations in the energy that are conveying a message. Upon understanding what that message is, it becomes easier to associate specific words with specific fluctuations. When you sharpen this ability, you can begin discerning a faint voice from it—one that you may not necessarily be physically hearing, but one that accompanies the energy every time it conveys a message to you. Over time, you'll begin to notice how specific energies use specific vocabulary and have their own speech patterns.

This is how I learned clairaudience by using clairsentience as a foundation, and it's how I've taught others to learn clairaudience as well.

When you are naturally born to be good at clairaudience, this entire process comes to you easily. You do not even have to think about translating; it is natural to you. To learn clairsentience for this person would still be like learning how to translate, because they did not even know what they were doing involved translating in the first place.

I'll admit, this part of my theory is definitely still a work in progress, but it makes sense to me in a way that's difficult to put into words, unfortunately.

We can use this theory to learn any clairsense we want, because it all boils down to clairsentience. When you can feel that energy, you can apply it through a sensory filter. Does this mean anyone who learned clairsenses a different way is wrong? Not at all! This is just like... a "hack", if you will. A shortcut.

I hope this helps! Feel free to send me any questions.

𐙚 ice prince ᯓ s.es.ᐟ

⋆˚𝜗𝜚˚⋆ advent calendar, day sixteen! pairing: bf!eunseok x reader, genre: fluff! warnings: reader is a clumsy dummy ! loser lol wc: 824

synopsis: ice skating is something you've always wanted to try with eunseok, but he's always turned you down. but of course— with enough begging— he'll be unable to refuse.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　⋆ ˚ ۪ ⋆ ୨୧

no matter who you asked, everyone would always say eunseok is the most apathetic and stoic person they know. but in your eyes, eunseok was the most anxious yet nurturing person you've ever met. whether you're clumsily chopping veggies for dinner or simply lying beside him, eunseok has his eyes on you 24/7, remaining by your side to ensure you're safe and sound. you could imagine how unsettled he'd be when you take him ice skating for the first time.

"are you sure about this, darling? have you done this before?" eunseok faltered, his eyes darting from you to the pair of figure skates in your hands. "of course i'm sure! everyone's been a beginner at one point, i'm sure i'll become a pro one day." eunseok scoffed and watched you lace the boots on your feet. "i'm telling you, it's scary. you could get hurt. why don't we just go to the food court? i heard they have hot cocoa and churros." you groaned and sat up to meet his eyes. "i'm sure, eunseok. hurry up and put your shoes on!"

eunseok's hands remained on you every second of the journey to the ice rink as you wobbled around trying to find your center of balance. "we should go back to the bench. come on, princess, we n-" "no! i got it!" eunseok sighed as you began waddling off to the ice. shaking his head, he followed you realizing there was no stopping you. "what a spoiled brat."

once you entered the ice rink, you immediately lost control of your balance. as you frantically waved your arms around to gather control, eunseok grounded himself behind you and held you by the waist. once you regained your ability to stand straight, eunseok couldn't stop laughing at the panic dripping from your face. "i told you, darling. are you alright?" you gulped and nodded uncertainly, gripping his jacket as if you'd fall to your death.

"here, let me show you," eunseok cooed, easing your grip from his shoulders down to his forearms. "follow me, okay? keep your feet pointed like this." eunseok kept his eyes on your every move, scanning your face for any signs of fear or discomfort. following his instructions, you slowly inched closer to him as he cradled your arms in his. "now just carefully glide one foot forward at a time." you stumbled forward, eunseok's grip growing stronger. "come on, princess, i know you can do it. one step at a time." you swallowed back your dizziness and began sliding your right foot then the left. once you grew comfortable with the movements, eunseok couldn't suppress his smile of pure adoration. "you're doing so well," he cooed, his hands still firm on your arms.

"i think i could do it," you claimed, loosening your grip on eunseok. his concerned gaze traveled down to your face and he hesitated, "are you sure?" you nodded, standing completely still as he gently let go of your arms. a few seconds of simply standing on your own had you giggling in astonishment, looking up at him with the brightest smile, cheering, "i'm doing it! i'm doing it!" eunseok couldn't hide the pure adoration creeping through his smile. he always loved that stupid smile that would find its way to your lips whenever you were excited to show him something. but no moment could compare to now; the way your face lit up with such delight and accomplishment sparked every ounce of love he had for you. he'd never felt so proud to have you as his own.

after hours of excitedly gliding around the rink, you finally grew tired and decided to call it a night. as you sat on the bench, eunseok knelt before you and began unlacing your figure skates. "did you have fun, baby?" you smiled, wiping the sweat from your neck. "of course i did! did you?" eunseok smiled and helped you put on your warm uggs. "i always do when you're around." you broke out into giggles as eunseok lugged you onto his back, carrying you all the way to the food court.

you rested with your arms around him and your head leaning on his shoulder as he ordered hot chocolate and churros for you, trying hard not to fall asleep after the intense rounds of fun you'd just experienced.

once you settled in the car, eunseok turned on the heater and adjusted the vents to face you, defrosting you from the freezing outdoors. you turned to him and took a bite from a churro, mumbling through stuffed cheeks, "i told you it'd be fun! we should come again!" eunseok chuckled and brushed your hair away from your face. "we can come any time you'd like," he assured affectionately. all his previous anxiety melted away within an instant just from seeing your newfound love for ice skating.

that stupid smile of yours made all of his worries worth the while.

somewhere, i am still 10 years old, reading books about friendship and a brighter future, with my ceiling lamp still on because i am afraid of the dark.

i read them with hope for my own future, even whilst i am aware my few friends are slowly slipping from my grasp as i grow older, i am full of dreams.

someplace, i am still 10 years old, i don't understand that there is more than bugs and needles to be afraid of just yet, i believe that comfort follows me like a shadow.

deep inside my soul, i feel as if i'm still carrying her with me, books on my nightstand and a lamp still on whilst i sleep, for i never got over that fear of the dark.

— Training Wheels .ᐟ ʚɞ

୨୧ "Training wheels are a set of additional wheels attached to the rear wheel of a bicycle, effectively turning it into a tricycle as beginners learn to ride independently."

Ft. Yanqing, gender neutral reader, mentions of jing yuan. wc: 1067

Content: child reader, reader is 10, reader falls from their bike, reader is implied to be wearing shorts, father jing yuan, big brother yanqing helps bandage reader!! mentions of blood. / You are learning how to ride a bike, then you fall and scrape both your face, knee and arms. So, you run to your big brother for help.

A/n: i need me more brother yanqing fics!! ( ｡ •̀ ᴖ •́ ｡), gēge means elder brother in a casual setting.

You took a deep breath in, building up courage once more to get on your bike that now had its training wheels taken off. You've had many instances where you were unsuccessful in properly maneuvering your bike into not crashing into a pole, or essentially (and accidentally) crashing into an ignorant pedestrian.

Your father — Jing Yuan, alongside your older brother Yanqing had been helping you in hopes that you would successfully be able to ride the pedal-driven vehicle.

Your dad had given it to you for your recent 10th birthday, ecstatic as you were, you quickly figured out that you needed those two tiny wheels beside your rear one to actually ride said bike. And so, the journey of learning how to ride a bicycle started.

Sighing, you finally got the courage to mount your bike and got into a starting position, while also holding onto a near wall for support. Putting your left foot on its respective pedal, you started slowly pedaling. Although wobbly, you were not immediately plummeting to the ground like the several other times. A big grin graced your face as you ecstatically pedaled faster, the wind brushing through your hair felt amazing. It was the first time that you managed to properly ride your bike without your brother or dad holding the back of your seat to stabilize you.

Whilst you were having the time of your life, you hadn't noticed the prominent rock on the sidewalk. The same sidewalk that you were on, and that rock was going to interrupt your feeling of freedom. The wheel collided with the rock and in an instant, you were leaning forward and falling off your bike.

Your hands shot out in front of you in hopes to catch yourself but fate had other plans for you. The impact had sprung you ahead, so unfortunately you landed face first and skid slightly forward. You felt the rough pavement underneath your skin and soon enough the burning feeling of pain spread through your skin as well.

Pulling yourself up from where you had landed, you felt something wet run down your forehead. You reached up a hand up, touched your forehead and retracted it again only to find the familiar color of blood staining your fingertips. Your eyes widened as you noticed your hand, it was scraped badly, dirt covering patches of your skin and red lines going down to your elbow as it also bled.

Tears welled up in your eyes, the pain finally catching up to you. "Ah..." you whimpered "ow! ow! it hurts!" you sputtered in pain whilst your tears ran down your cheeks and fell down onto your knee, which had also been torn open in the process. In a rush of desperation, you quickly stood up and ran to your and your family's shared house. Sprinting as fast as you could down the sidewalk, and eventually entering from the backside of the quaint home — right where the garden was located.

You ran past the gingko trees and extensive amounts of flowers and other interesting plants. as you got closer to the house by following the tiled path you could make out a familiar figure in the distance. "Gēge! Yanqing!" you shouted as you darted towards him while flailing your arms in a panic.

He had turned around right as he heard your rapid footsteps coming towards him, "Eh?" He muttered, quite clearly confused on why you were shouting. All of a sudden, you threw yourself into his arms and wrapped your arms around him, well as much as you could with your short arms.

Yanqing slightly jumped as he caught you in his embrace, he was about to ask you what was going on when he noticed your bleeding face, arm and knee. His mind immediately thought you were attacked but as he inspected the wounds a little more closely, he could tell they were scrapes. and really bad ones at that.

"(Name)!? What happened?!" Yanqing blurted out, he now, also, panicking from seeing the state you were in. You looked up at him with your teary eyes

"i- i fell from my bike"

You said quietly, your lips wobbling indicating that you were ready to cry once more.

"Oh, jeez..." Yanqing breathed out and quickly picked you up and brought you into the house. He sat you down on the couch and started to search for the first aid kit that they kept around. He crouched in front of you and brought out cotton and rubbing alcohol.

"Alright (Name), I'm going to disinfect your scrapes" He explained gently, but you could tell that he was nervous underneath. "Is it going to hurt?" You pouted, wearily eyeing the cotton ball in his hand, one that was covered in the rubbing alcohol. Yanqing sweat dropped "Well, yes but I will be quick, okay?" He said softly whilst gently grasping your hand in an attempt to comfort you.

"Mmm..." you thought about it briefly but then remembered what your dad had told you about what would happen if you didn't disinfect your wounds. He had used that to get you to agree to clean your cuts.

"okay!" you agreed, steeling yourself as you breathed in an attempt to calm yourself. Yanqing nodded as you gave him the greenlight to go ahead, just as the cotton had pressed against your scrapes you tensed and hissed quietly, more tears pricking at the corners of your eyes. Yanqing lightly squeezed your smaller and in his, "It's okay (Name), Yanqing-gēge is here." The boy reassured you as he continued his actions swiftly, not wanting to cause you more pain.

When Yanqing was done with the cotton, he wrapped gauze around your knee and arms and a square bandage on your forehead. "there, all done!" He boasted, very proud of his work and he placed his hands on his hips.

Realizing you didn't feel the burning pain had subsided, you beamed and once again jumped into your brothers' arms. You buried your head in the crook of his neck "Thank you, Gēge!" you exclaimed. Yanqing smiled softly and hugged you back resting his cheek on top of your head.

You both stayed like that for a while then it got interrupted as you gasped dramatically.

"What's wrong?" Yanqing questioned as he raised his head from yours.

"I left my bike on the sidewalk!" You squeaked out.

"Oh, boy..."

°.✩┈┈∘*┈୨୧┈*∘┈┈✩.°

☆ ┈ I wouldn't be surprised if he could actually fall in love with you if you show Scout enough kindness.

☆ ┈ You know, living in the conditions that mercenaries do, fighting to the death almost every day and respawning, the mind starts to slowly crack.

☆ ┈ ..And, perhaps, certain feelings are also affected.

☆ ┈ Scout is more likely to get attached to you if you're just friendly with him.

☆ ┈ Knowing him, he will start a rivalry if you are feisty or rude to him, and then his behavior will not be as bad as what your friendship with him will lead to.

☆ ┈ First, you must form a friendly relationship before anything worse appears in his feelings.

☆ ┈ Jeremy is relaxed in his conversations with you, occasionally comes to your place to have a heart-to-heart talk, and always encourages you to boost your spirits before a fight.

☆ ┈ Maybe he teases you in your first week about how well you're doing for a beginner.

☆ ┈ Pay attention to him and return his friendliness, and slowly but surely, his affection will grow.

☆ ┈ Scout doesn't have friendly relationships with all the mercenaries, so when you treat him well, he accepts it and enjoys any positive attention to boost his ego.

☆ ┈ I doubt he'll notice that his feelings are becoming more peculiar than they should be.Jeremy realizes that at some point, he catches himself thinking that he likes you.

☆ ┈ He thinks about you too often..More often than a colleague should.

☆ ┈ He feels uncomfortable about it. He doesn't know what to do with his feelings, as he's sure that you don't feel the same way, and a relationship between mercenaries isn't a good idea.

☆ ┈ Because of his uncertainty about what to do with his feelings, he tries to forget about them, and this ignoring pushes him to take actions that make things worse.

☆ ┈ Scout is definitely a stalker. He's always following you, quickly and quietly, berating himself for being a loser who follows you everywhere, but he doesn't stop.

☆ ┈ He just can't leave you behind. He wants to make sure he knows where you are, how you are, who you're with.

☆ ┈ Over time, your friendship becomes awkward. You notice that Scout is constantly nervous when you're around, and lately, you've started noticing his presence where it shouldn't be.

☆ ┈ His behavior makes you uneasy, and he realizes it and tries to stop being suspicious, making his intentions unclear.

☆ ┈ Jeremy is trying to figure out if there's a chance for a relationship, and it makes you uncomfortable. (especially if you're older than him)

☆ ┈ He tries to give you gifts as a sign of affection, remembering your interests during his "observations" so that you actually like the gift.

☆ ┈ On the battlefield, he becomes more distracted, as he sometimes wonders where you are and if you need help in the battle.

☆ ┈ And oh, if he notices someone from the enemy team killing you? He will die a couple of times, but he will eventually kill them as a form of revenge for you.

☆ ┈ On 2Fort, the concept of "safety" doesn't mean much, so Scout doesn't really worry about your safety. He's more concerned about you preferring his company over another mercenary.

☆ ┈ Other mercenaries, not all of them, but some will notice his behavior, but Scout always manages to justify himself.

☆ ┈ In fact, everyone knows that he has a crush on you, but they don't pay attention because they believe his feelings won't lead to anything.

☆ ┈ Jeremy shows his love not only with rare gifts, but also with physical contact, and sometimes words.

☆ ┈ He's not a romantic at all, and his attempts to compliment or flirt with you are so terrible that you mistake them for a joke.

☆ ┈ However, Scout has no problem with physical touch. Whenever he's in your company, he'll place his hand on your shoulder or give you a playful shove while making jokes.

☆ ┈ He's quite jealous, but not to the point of murder or severe physical abuse, at least not within his team.

☆ ┈ Team Blu is less lucky..

☆ ┈ Usually, Jeremy just argues loudly with the mercenaries on his team and it doesn't escalate into a fight.

☆ ┈ Maybe his best move is to be sneaky with them in battle and not help them when they need it, leaving them to die.

☆ ┈ Yes, this can lead to your team's defeat, but he can't help but laugh mockingly when he sees the disappointment on his rival's face. (that don't even know he considering them as rival)

☆ ┈ However, as soon as he notices that one of the Blu members is interested in you, he immediately attacks and tries to torture the mercenary with an incomprehensible fury.

☆ ┈ This causes the Blu team to avoid both of you or attack you with a group. Both options are inconvenient.

☆ ┈ Scout is not the worst mercenary as a yandere, but he is definitely creepy.

☆ ┈ He starts asking for more attention from you and looking for more ways to spend time outside of combat, sacrificing his and your rest.

☆ ┈ You notice that you see him too often. And, maybe you imagined it, but you could swear you heard footsteps by your bed at night.

☆ ┈ He doesn't ask for a relationship or declare his love. But he clings to you, more than a normal teammate should, and is very jealous of others, asking every time what you talked about with other mercenaries when he notices you around.

☆ ┈ It would seem that Scout is still the same fun-loving guy you've been friends with, hanging around you and genuinely enjoying your company.

☆ ┈ But you're not blind; you can see that he's become too clingy and..trying to be controlling.

☆ ┈ If you try to distance yourself from him? Scout is delusional. He starts suspecting the other mercenaries that you prefer them over him, and it pisses him off.

☆ ┈ Weren't you friends? Why have you suddenly distanced yourself from him?

☆ ┈ ..Or is he being too suspicious?

☆ ┈ Fuck.

☆ ┈ Now he doesn't hesitate to take advantage of you when you're sleeping, and often sneaks into your room just to watch you while you're asleep, irritably noting how you used to have a good time, but now things have become much more complicated.

☆ ┈ He's very irritable with others, even if it's not intentional. If you don't like this behavior, he may start arguing with other mercenaries or even fighting just to get your attention.

☆ ┈ It's okay if someone gets a few bruises, including himself, as long as you can look at him again, right? Medic can still heal you all.

☆ ┈ He probably isn't jealous of Engineer and Pyro. Engineer because he has a good relationship with him and it's hard for him to be angry with him; he doesn't want to get involved with Pyro, and he doesn't recommend it to you.

☆ ┈ He's trying to get your communication back to what it was at the beginning, but because of his unpleasant display of feelings, he's not succeeding, and it's annoying him.

☆ ┈ Jeremy needs constant company, and he sees you as the best option because you had the best relationship with him out of all the mercenaries.

☆ ┈ Maybe at some point, he'll give up and just come to you in the evening when there won't be any eyes around, and he'll quickly confess his feelings, begging you to date or at least resume your friendship because he's missing you.

☆ ┈ For the most part, he's just trying to play on your pity, hoping that you'll feel sorry for him and understand why he's so desperate.

☆ ┈ No, he really misses spending time with you, so please forgive him.

☆ ┈ I think he's somewhere in the middle of the yandere mercenaries. In the sense that there are those who are much, much worse, but Scout is capable of making rash decisions and is more than willing to hurt someone just for your attention.

☆ ┈ Scout won't calm down until you give him an answer, whether you'll give him a second chance or not, constantly harassing you and asking you to talk to him.

☆ ┈ If you agree, he will indeed try to be more respectful. He is still jealous of you and very angry that he can't do anything about it, so he turns his hatred towards Team Blu, killing the enemy mercenary who annoys him the most in Team Red, and his anger slowly subsides.

☆ ┈ He doesn't completely stop pursuing you, and he still often follows you, but this time he's making his presence known.

☆ ┈ Jeremy doesn't want to lose the slim chance he has to improve your relationship..

☆ ┈ At least he's stopped barging into your room. After his visits, the room was usually a mess, which was suspicious, but now it's clean, and he's glad he's not so pathetic as to do that anymore.

☆ ┈ Finally, he stops being annoying with other mercenaries. You could say that everything is back to normal, but Scout still has feelings for you that make him act aggressively when he's jealous or defensive when he sees you with another mercenary.

☆ ┈ If you don't want to give him a second chance, well..Things will get worse.

☆ ┈ Scout starts stealing your belongings, believing that you "gave" them to him. He probably stops breaking in to your place so often because you suspect him because of his strange behavior

☆ ┈ Some of the mercenaries you have a good relationship with are aware of the situation and they are annoyed by his behavior, but they can't really do anything about it, they just hint to him that he is annoying and that he should leave you alone.

☆ ┈ It's just a never-ending cycle. He's being creepy with you, secretly hating the other mercenaries, making their relationship worse, and possibly killing a few people off the battlefield because he needs to vent his anger on someone.

☆ ┈ To be honest, I don't see the point in describing dating him. Considering his actions, you're probably could giving him a second chance after his strange behavior, but there's no talk of a relationship.

☆ ┈ In any case, Scout is hoping for at least that. It's better to be friends than to have you wary of him.
