#She loved and trusted Inanna SO MUCH it’s hard to read sometimes. And I start crying

[ivyinforests]

I got myself used to sleeping an appropriate amount. Fatal mistake. Now I can barely make myself stay up late doing objectively fun things and it feels ridiculous. I used to stay up till three with chem and algebra and now I’m struggling to work past 11 analyzing Enheduanna and making lesbian cake. These are my favorite things to do!!! If I told myself this a year ago I would think it was a joke.

So I’m writing a fic with some nice, wholesome Julian head scratchings in it because I reckon he would enjoy having his head scratched and I will make that man feel treasured whether he likes it or not. Got me thinking, I bet Volta would also love affectionate head scratches because she is a very good girl, yes she is. Anywho, what are your thoughts on the main 6 (+ courtiers, Morga, anyone you fancy) and how they feel about head scratches/ head rubs (from someone they’re comfortable with)?

Head scratches you say 👀👀👀👀. I don’t write for any of the courtiers or Morga, but I hope you like this very soft domestic main six!! But I agree Volta is very good. 10/10.

I have to admit I was rather relaxed writing these, head scratches are the best

And yes I am jealous again, scratches are the bomb.com.

Hope you enjoy!!

Main six x MC head scratches/head rubs

Julian

Ah! You’re relaxing on your shared bed, just reading when he crawls into your lap

He’s tired from working too hard for too long without sleep poor poor doctor Devorak 

Head scratches and pats only happen when he’s like this, tired and almost asleep

He’s not quite used to them but he does love them

Just doesn’t know how to ask

While reading you run your hand through his hair, making him sigh

Once you bring fingernails into the equation he is putty in your hands, leaning into your touch

Hearing his little sighs and thinking he’s asleep you stop

He cracks one eye open, a little miffed

“Don’t stop now my love. Keep going please.” (Voice rough with sleep imagine it)

Teasing him a little you oblige

He loves head scratches. When you pull on his hair gently mmm the good stuff right there

Scratch his scalp, tug his hair lightly, untangle his curls 

If he’s not already asleep he’ll sing to you. Just softly, voice thick with the promise of sleep

He’ll fall asleep and be out for a long time, just resting in your lap while you run your hands through his hair 

It’s very domestic, and it’s one of is favourite things in the whole world

It’s calming and some of the best sleep he ever gets 

He’ll kiss your finger tips and sometimes if you are in his lap he’ll run his hands through your hair too

He lives for head scratches 

Especially from you, he trusts you wholeheartedly not to hurt him

Asra

He’ll straight up just ask you for head scratches, he loves them so much

He’ll lie down in your lap, you both resting on pillows and plush blankets

He’s very warm too, hair all fluffy and curly

Faust will curl up and sleep on his chest while you run your hands through his hair

Scratch. Scratch. Scratch. Please use your nails, rub circles on his scalp, detangle his hair with a touch, just scratch gently at his scalp

His hair is so freaking fluffy it’s like running your hands through a soft stuffed animal’s fur

He will fall asleep with you scratching his head (most of the main six will, it’s quite relaxing)

He’ll spark little magic shows for you, just little shows of light and smells

Sometimes after having a rough day he just wants to lay in your lap and talk to you while you run his head

Fluff his hair up more. Please

He might even make a noise that sounds strangely like purring 

He’ll deny it but you know what you heard

He’ll tell you stories from his trip while slowly...falling...asleep...

He can’t help it he’s never been more relaxed then he is here like this with you

He’ll yawn every few seconds while talking before snuggling into your thighs

He snores softly, but don’t stop the head scratches

Stop when his hair is all mused and soft and detangled

You’ll probably fall asleep, you, Asra and Faust all snuggled together 

It’s the best sleep you’ll ever get, fully relaxed 

He’ll return the favour eventually, don’t worry.

Nadia

Her head aches from her hair being pulled up for so long 

Take her hair out of the ponytail and slowly run your hands through it

If she’s talking to you she’ll stop mid sentence to let out a little sigh as you run your hands through her hair and scratch her scalp gently

She probably had a long day of countessing 

She’ll wrap blankets around the two of you as you work your magic 

Warm your hands a little bit as you scratch her scalp

She’ll be out like a light if you two aren’t talking 

Her hair is very soft and silky

And it’s long too, making your job both harder and longer 

You don’t mind though, getting her as relaxed as she is is a tough feat

Please please please tease her hair 

Fluff it up, make she she wakes up with hair that seems to poof off her scalp

It’ll make her laugh

She’ll love it

Please don’t forget the bottom half of her hair though

Tug on the tips lightly to make her arch her head into the touch

She’ll tell you little stories from her old home and about her sisters

Oh the back of her head is a golden spot 

You might need to maneuver to get it but don’t worry 

The results are worth it

She’ll let out a little gasp, sinking into your touch

Run your hands up and down, dragging your nails gently along her scalp

Has she mentioned how much she loves you?

Because prepare yourself, she’s gonna say it a lot

Muriel

This man has never had a head scratch in his entire life and that is a travesty 

Lie him down, shoulders and head agains your stomach and thighs

Just enough that he’s on your lap but he’s not too on your lap to worry himself about crushing you

His hair is very smooth but super soft

After you’re done with it though, it will be just as soft and fluffy as Asra’s

Inanna will lie down on Muriel’s legs, her tail beating against the ground as she watched Muriel relax into your touch

Gently scratch his scalp, use your fingertips more than your nails

He’ll let out small content grunts and sighs as you work

He likes his hairline scratched the most

That way he can see you a bit better, and you can pull his hair back from his face with gentle caresses 

Tug gently on the hair that normally covers his face

Detangle it with your fingers too, running them up and down through his hair

Don’t forget the top of his head though 

Massage your hands through his scalp, rubbing circles with your fingertips

Scratch the back of his head and tug lightly at the hair there, make sure to untangle those rough knots

He’ll fall asleep soon unless you’re talking 

But he’s so relaxed he’ll start up a conversation 

Maybe talking about what the girls got into and their adventures 

Inanna is now asleep on his legs, him running a hand through her fur

You all are just this nice little family, relaxing in the quietness of his hut

This is the most loved he’s ever felt

Portia

Portia is also a very busy baby who doesn’t spend too much time on herself or poor hair

By the end of the week her hair is so knotted and rough it’ll take hours to brush it all out

Luckily she has a very cute and kind apprentice helping her out 

She’s very talkative, ask her about her day while the two of you relax on her pillow mound with her in you lap

Start at the base of her hair and work your way up 

It’s very knotted and if you start at her scalp it will hurt a lot 

Slowly brush your fingers through her hair, tug lightly and pull apart as needed 

Once you reach her scalp, all conversation will be cut short 

Oh

Oh

Wow you’re very good with your hands

Like really good wow

Lift up her hair a bit while you scratch at the bat of her scalp, working your way up 

She will melt into your touch with a little sigh

“MC those hands of yours are magic.”

Pull on her bangs gently while you rub at her hairline 

Take your nail and lightly run circles around her scalp

Her hair will slowly decurl while you work, each tangle you get rid of map going to make her hair so much softer 

She’s very soft and smooth hair, and once her tangles are gone you get to bask in how soft her hair is 

She love love loves headscratches and she’ll do the same to you if you ever ask

Lucio

Okay so Lucio isn’t really the type to get so close to someone in an intimate setting like this

He’s always worried he’s going to do something to mess this up or maybe it’s a plot to kill him 

Hey it happened once you never know

If he’s very comfortable with you he’ll let you take his golden arm off, I know this is about head scratch’s but make sure to rub his arm gently too once you take the golden arm off

His hair is not soft at all

So much hair products and gel

Start at his hairline, brushing his bangs down over his eyes

He’ll be running that mouth of his you know he will

He’ll be talking about his day, asking about yours, telling stories all sorts of things

He’ll let out a very rough sigh when you scratch his scalp and the back of his head

Keep that up. Keep doing that yes

He doesn’t let anyone get close to his head

But now he has that tinge of regret because he loves head scratches so freaking much wow

Fluff up his hair

Your hands are going to smell like hair products after this 

They are gonna smell terrible but you don’t mind 

Seeing Lucio this relaxed and sleepy is totally worth it

He’ll babble on but his words will slowly...become...slurred...as...he grows...sleepy 

He snores

He denies it but he snores 

But you’re glad he fell asleep, it means he trusts you. Trusts you to take his arm off, trusts you with his hair and head, and trusts you enough to fall asleep

Hi! I was wondering if you could tell me about your experiences with your gods! I'd love to learn more about them through the eyes of a worshipper. Also yoooooo I live in WA too! I go to WSU currently on that super fun (I gate it) east side

Hello, fellow Washingtonian! Sorry it took me a while to respond, I wanted to wait until I was actually at my computer. Thank you for the great question! I'm always happy to gush about my gods. :) Bast came to me a couple years ago, though I know now that She was always in my life. She primarily speaks to me through feelings more than words or images - I kinda just woke up one day and felt this overwhelming urge to start worshipping Her. She was (and is) very direct with what She wanted; I bought a statue of Her, set up an altar, and things went on from there. She also speaks to me through my tarot deck, and has a penchant for giving me multiple major arcana cards in a reading (that's Her sense of humor, I think - poking fun but still educational/insightful). While She has helped me with my romantic relationship, Bast otherwise doesn't emphasize Her love/sexuality/pleasure aspects with me. She is very much Mamma Bast, loving and maternal yet strict when necessary. I consider Her my main deity and go to Her for guidance, comfort, and help first, and feel Her presence strongly whether things go well or not. I have a ton of devotional jewelry for Her, including an ankh ring I always wear, and currently one tattoo. I also dedicate the work my partner and I do with fostering kittens as a devotional practice to Bast. She is a constant presence in my life. Inanna came to me about two years ago in a dream; I had never heard of Her before, but I woke up with Her name on my lips and very shaken, like I had been in the presence of something old and powerful. Since then I have tentatively stood on Her path - I do have an altar for Her - though I wouldn't say I'm walking it quite yet. She's here for something specific and until I'm ready She won't give me any more instruction. I worry it's something terrible or scary or hard - I know it has to do with Her own descent into the underworld - but I know I can trust Her to lead me out of the darkness at the end. She's an intimidating presence and shows me only Her fiercest aspects; the raging warrior, the arrogant naked queen, the woman who died and hung on a hook. My devotional jewelry for her is all snakes and bird skulls and bullets. She showed Herself to me with the Strength tarot card, and prefers answering readings with swords cards. While with Bast I feel like a child with her mother, before Inanna I feel like a poor worshipper just grateful to be noticed. I don't ask much of Inanna, and when I do I make sure I repay Her in kind. She can be a powerful patroness, but you definitely have to show Her proper respect.Wepwawet kinda poked His head in sometime in the last year. He primarily keeps me safe when driving or otherwise traveling, and has probably saved my life a time or three. Or four. Or five. He's a very quiet presence, not asking anything of me but happy to be acknowledged in little ways. I do have an altar for Him, and carry a travel charm I asked Him to bless. He seems very laid back, like He's fine letting Bast and Inanna take care of the big things in my spiritual life while He makes sure I get home in one piece. He probably has the hardest job of all, though, so I try not to ask anything else from him. ;) I have a hunch that my father asked Him to watch over me, though that could just be because I associate them both with things like hot rods, Harleys, and ships. And then I have Tanim and Daren, but who knows who or what the fuck they are.Was that helpful or insightful? :)
