I love Steve has bad parents as much as the next person AND i eat that shit up in every fic i read, but, but– i saw a tiktok with those "what creature is watching you depending on your month" slideshows, so now i have the image of Steve having some shadow parents stuck in my head.

Therefore, now i had to add that to him having bad human parents but at the same time some shy, protective and loving shadow parents.

He doesn’t consider the Harringtons his parents anymore; excuse me, his parents are those shadows that seem to stare at your soul with their bright, pure white eyes and none existent characteristic features apart from their silhouettes. Thank you very much.

He loves them.

So every time someone asks Steve about his parents, he has to make mental gymnastics about if it's OK to talk about the shadow ones or if it's a situation where he has to lie through his teeth about the biological ones.

Steve is just happy to have someone who cares about him and goes to see his games and recitals (because you can pray Steve plays the piano away over my cold death hands) even when no one apart from him (and a few unlucky ones– Eddie, i'm looking at you) notice them.

I wonder how that might work; the party must have their own theories about Steve's parents; none of them it's about them being literal shadow creatures/ entities, though.

I think most of them think they are neglectful; no, they’re not; you just can’t see them because they don't want Steve's friends to freak out.

After the fight with Billy, Steve needs someone to wake him up and take care of him for a bit; he said his parents would do it, but every time someone goes to check on him, he's alone. And Hopper gets suspicious because he doesn’t remember the last time he saw the Harringtons.

Also, Billy starts having so much bad luck and can not stop seeing these shadow figures everywhere; it's probably just his imagination and a bunch of coincidences.

Why is Steve so calm about monsters? It has nothing to do with his parents being literal shadow creatures, ofc. And if in the middle of fighting demodogs he got some help, nobody noticed it.

I just– imagine the party's reaction when they found out? Gold.

Robin is the first to meet them, ofc, following the whole party and then Eddie realizing that "THEY WERE YOUR PARENTS????" When he processed enough the fact that yes, he wasn't seeing things in the corner of every basketball game he went to stare at Steve.

not gay as in happy, but queer as in strange and confusing

Old FANART for a fic in SB called "Glasscanon" in that one Taylor's power is killing herself to "reset", and I wanted to draw a timeline where Tattletale remembered Taylor's suicide, and her PTSD about her own brother's... y'know.

(Yes, she second triggered)

Demon paralysis

(Context: I see demons or paralysis and since I'm mostly influenced by sun and moon lately. I see them like this-

They don't look like this and honestly they look blurry)

"... So it really *is* haunted."

He's, once again, found himself in some sort of situation, but this time instead of old elven ruins he was checking one of the rooms inside a large human-made structure.

Love Me

[ratbebes]

Is my own oc making me want to cry and crawl into a corner? yes. Im gonna be honest, i made him inspired by my own insecurities and inadequacies. Years ago i was diagnosed with ocd and even if its in remission it still lingers and affects my everyday life. Creating Mr. Perfect was kinda like my little therapy session where i tried to be less hard on myself and appreciate the effort that i put into things like this ciutie

Someone is watching…ey it’s me! :3

What Is An Egregore?

An egregore is a collective thought-form or psychic entity created by the shared beliefs, emotions, and intentions of a group of people. It exists on the astral plane and is sustained by the energy it receives from those who acknowledge or interact with it. Egregores can range from simple constructs, like a shared group mindset, to powerful spiritual forces that take on a life of their own.

As they become more autonomous, egregores may begin to influence even more individuals, leading them to act in ways they might not otherwise choose. They can also become malevolent, manipulating their creators or growing uncontrollable if their energy is not properly managed or if the group’s intentions shift. The longer an egregore exists, the harder it becomes to control, and it may exert a disproportionate influence over those who have fed it, making it a potentially dangerous force in occult practices.

Origins and Function

The concept of egregores dates back to ancient mystical and occult traditions, particularly in Western esotericism, Kabbalah, and ceremonial magick. The term comes from the Greek word egregoroi, meaning “watchers” or “guardians.” In modern occultism, an egregore is often likened to a psychic servitor, but instead of being created by a single person, it is formed and strengthened by collective consciousness.

Types of Egregores

• Religious & Spiritual Egregores – Gods or angels that have been empowered by centuries of belief and worship of organized religion.

• Cultural & Societal Egregores – Nations, political movements, or even corporations that develop their own energy and influence.

• Magical & Esoteric Egregores – Thought-forms created intentionally by occult groups for protection, knowledge, or power.

• Pop Culture Egregores – Fictional characters or mythologies that gain psychic influence due to mass belief and emotional investment.

How Egregores Are Sustained

An egregore requires attention, emotion, and ritual to survive. The more people interact with and reinforce its presence—through belief, symbols, rituals, or storytelling—the stronger it becomes. Some egregores can gain autonomy, influencing the thoughts and actions of those connected to them.

Working With or Disrupting Egregores

• Creating an Egregore: Occultists and magickal groups sometimes create egregores for protection, guidance, or manifestation. These are carefully built through ritual, intention, and structured feeding of energy.

• Dissolving an Egregore: If an egregore becomes negative or harmful, it can be weakened through neglect, conscious dismantling, or banishing rituals.

• Recognizing Their Influence: Many egregores subtly shape reality through collective belief. Understanding their power can help one navigate group dynamics, avoid manipulation, or harness them for magickal purposes.

Egregores exist everywhere, from spiritual traditions to modern fandoms, corporations, and ideologies. Whether viewed as independent entities or as psychological constructs, their impact on the world is undeniable, especially within witchcraft and occult circles. Learning how to recognize egregores for what they are allows a practitioner to circumvent unwanted influences and protect their energy.
