Y'all know those fanfics where Saiki is an asshole to Teruhashi or really rude to her until they start dating? Yeah, this is what I imagine what that Saiki meeting Canon Saiki would be like.

Canon Saiki: So do you still deal with Teruhashi?

Fanfic Saiki: I can not avoid that woman. The other day she was bothering me when a mob of her fans showed up so I teleported away and-

Canon Saiki, surprised: You revealed your powers to her?! I mean, her fans do suck, so I can understand panicking and teleporting the both of you away-

Fanfic Saiki: What? No, I teleported myself away and left her there.

Canon Saiki: You what.

Fanfic Saiki: I teleported myself away. Well actually, I was the one who kinda summoned that crowd so that she'd be too overwhelmed with them to go find me-

Canon Saiki, shaking with murderous rage: You what.

Fangfest 2024 - Day Fourteen - Death Joaquin "Quino" Alvarro Hidalgo-Giovanni is the maker of his own fate. Born into a clan of vampires, a heritage soaked in blood, he has fought tooth and nail against his family the second his father came back from the dead. He could see it, how wrong it was, how he and his baby sister were being used, but it wasn't until she was chosen for the Embrace when he finally did something about it. He slipped to the Tenochtitlan Sabbat the location of the Hidalgo family compound, and during the family get together they were descended upon. But it was too late, Noa Hidalgo was already dead, and Quino was prevented from even gathering her body before the Sabbat decided they weren't keen on playing nice with mortals. After escaping capture, Quino went to America heartbroken and completely alone, but not without fervor. He would use all the information during his ghouled years within the Giovanni clan to fight back against the Supernatural. A bloody and merciless hunter of all things that prey in the night: this shit shouldn't exist. Maybe his father would've died honorably. Maybe his sister would be alive and well. Maybe he could've been normal. Death is a card that represents endings, transformation, change. Joaquin's life is a series of upheavals, but he knows before his own ending, he'll be delivering yours.

pick an image! (tarot card reading)

image source ❁ image 1: an aged, leather book, with many, many pages. it makes you wonder what's inside, but due to its thickness, maybe it doesn't... ❁ image 2: a pleasant smile in the hands of gods. overlapping colorful wings form a small space in the middle. if you threw this at the wall, it'd definitely leave an imprint. ❁ image 3: a mysterious brass key. to what does its dainty swirls open? no one knows but you! how do I pick? everyone has their own method of getting in touch with their intuition. for me, when I know it's right, I feel a lightness in my chest, and when it's wrong, a pit in my stomach. don't think too much about it. whichever you choose will be right! BOOK A READING THRU DM/ASK!

boy howdy, y'all.

you see the change you need to make, and yet you're still resisting? maybe you're scared of what this change will bring, but in your stagnancy, you're missing an opportunity for growth. the most important thing is that you tell the truth. right that wrong-- let everyone know what's really happening. whatever your reason for inaction might be, know that you do, in fact, possess the strength to overcome your issue(s), no matter how much you think you don't. you've already reached a major milestone, too, so why keep yourself in a box? reap that reward. you worked for it, after all! this important change will have to do with you clearing the air, speaking articulately, and being sure that you share the absolute, honest truth. consider a direction change. sure, what's gotten you here has worked wonders, but what will get you to your next goal? don't be afraid to try new things!

whadda hell? such similar cards and yet such distinct meanings...

unlike those who chose image 1, you have not yet reached your goal. but don't worry! you're almost there!! you've just got to keep trying... easier said than done, right? it seems like you really want to give up, or are doubting yourself. this is a strong energy-- maybe you've been hurt in the past because of a similar situation, so you're refusing to acknowledge what's happening at all. maybe you don't believe in your own strength, but know that it is there. you've come all this way-- think of this as one more hurdle to jump before you take a lunch break. and what a wonderful lunch it will be, indeed!!! something that will be important will be finding out what's real and what's not. break up this complicated situation into segments and slowly analyze how all the pieces fit together. try to remain objective during this process, it is important for your future success. and finally, the scariest hurdle of all: simply having fun! you don't need to be guarded all the time, and maybe that's the lesson you're tackling right now. there's a very strong vibe of "recapturing innocence", in the (inno-) sense that you must shed the learned, knee-jerk responses of heartache. in order to feel better, you must let yourself free, but don't worry; your heart will always come back to you. don't let your inhibitions stop you from living the life you want to... need to....... deserve to live!!! so take that crazy chance and engage in unadulterated, unfiltered, unstoppable whimsy. this will be the key that takes you to new heights!!!

okay so everyone's going through it. okay

god damn. y'all really need a hug, a hot cup of cocoa, and a cat in your lap, because fuck!!! you're experiencing a betrayal. deserted in your time of need, you're left to wander far, far away from home... you will find happiness in trying new things and keeping your head up, but don't let discovery be your excuse to neglect your needs. above all else, you need to heal. this will be a time of balancing these two things: trying out new developments and changes, while also healing your emotional wounds. you may be more interested in the former than the latter. you may feel like you're too weak to face this pain, but know that hard times help redefine the person you are. it's easy to wave it all away and throw all your energy into what's new, but what will really matter when you're 75 and looking back on your life is how you treated yourself during this time. did you dutifully lick your wounds, tending to yourself as you wish someone else would? or did you discard yourself in the same way you discarded your feelings? it's a tough ask, and a bit shocking to think about, I know. but imagine looking back and feeling pride in how well you managed things, the comfort gained-- almost magically-- from yourself, and the good it did you. okay, okay im getting off my soapbox now! just know you're headed towards good things. it may be a long process, so be brave, and steady. take breaks! drink water! stand motionless in the shower for 30 minutes, it's ok if that's what you need to do cause guess what?!?! you deserve to be taken care of, especially by yourself!!!

(3 of swords reversed, ace of swords reversed, 2 of pentacles, 6 of swords reversed)

lots and lots and LOTS of love for all of you silly little geese. I wish the absolute best for you! although I don't need to hope for the best... because I know all of you will prevail!!! simply because ur interested in what ur intuition seeks to teach you. please accept my kind words even if im a stranger on the internet! please know you deserve every tender moment that life has to offer and more, because you're just a motherfucker who's out here trying their best, just like most everyone else, and oh my god no matter what anyone tells you that is enough!!!!!!! sorry. I got back on the soapbox. BUT ITS TRUE!!!

🔥 strength from the fuck-u-up tarot 🔥

Ian felt as if his heart might burst from his body. There wasn’t any logic to what he was feeling, what he knew was happening between them. No reason, no rationality. It was just magic. Just love. Fuck, could it really be love? “C'mon, let's light these fuckers up,” Mickey pushed, holding up the lighter. Ian nodded and Mickey picked up the vessel, tipping it to the side, the lighter disappearing into the open mouth. Snick! A smile crept onto Mickey’s lips as he watched the leaves catch, all of his and Ian’s baggage quickly being engulfed in a brilliant fire. It wouldn’t burn up completely, of course. They’d both have to continue to work on their own and together to unpack it all. Build something new, together. But this was a potent jump start. A promise, and a pledge. An undertaking. an exception to the rule | ch. 6: nor the furious winter's rages

Alright so @shopwitchvamp 's latest tarot video reminded me that it's alright to have an overwhelming amount of random-ass passions in life. A tamagotchi + a couple tarot cards called my ass out to get outta my own damn way & enjoy the things I genuinely want to do! Can't argue with that so I treated myself to some selfies in my Mystic Flame skirt + scalemaile synth* prototype my partner & I made a few years back 🖤

*not actually plugged in to anything here but I haven't worn it in years! It's called The Storyteller's Gauntlet as it would trigger sound effects both intentionally from specific scales & randomly as you moved organically. These sounds included crows & ravens, howling wind, babbling brooks, armored footsteps on gravel, swordfights, & draconic fireballs plus the resulting crackling flames on the battlefield 💖🔥🐲💙

Leave it to me to ship two concepts

[samarecharm]

Have no idea what the popular opinions of this game are, but im really liking how ‘simple’ the game is compared to p5. It makes sense; its an older game w less physical space to fuck around with. And it still resembles an smt game, unlike p5, which feels almost like an entirely different series. P5 is chaotic and theres too many people and stats and deadlines to worry about. I do really enjoy that i only have to worry about Tartarus (for the meantime; unsure if theres more dungeons to explore) instead of mementos AND palaces. And i really like that theres only three stats to work on. Its less stuff overall but its not underwhelming; its just less stressful for me and thats a good thing lol

This card erupted from my brain almost entirely fully formed. It was kinda terrifying how quickly I painted the whole thing (about 2-ish days?). Despite the insane turnaround I really like how it turned out! I wanted to go for something a bit dreamier looking since the original Moon card focuses more on illusions and things that aren't necessarily there in a literal sense.

BTW Sagawa is so deceptively difficult to draw. I used a reference and I still couldn't get him to look saggy enough :( Why won't you sag, old man?!

Interpretations are below the cut:

For the longest time, The Moon completely stumped me whenever I pulled it. No matter whose interpretation I used, it always felt like something was missing-- that there was a singular piece that I just did not have that was critical to really understanding this card.

Here's that piece:

The Moon is about our internal battle between our primal fear of the unknown and our desire to 'conquer' it. The Moon offers many gifts: joy, good fortune, just about anything you could desire. But to receive these gifts, one has to venture through the darkness, only guided by the faint rays of The Moon up above.

The problem is that this light is barely enough to see what's in front of us. Darkness surrounds us and we begin to feel confused and scared as we press on.

Our animalistic impulses (represented by the dog and the wolf in the original card) cause us to try and fight against the guidance the Moon is trying to give. The Moon urges us to continue, to press on through the unknown; this journey we're going on poses no danger to us, but our fears cause us to balk.

We want to do things on our terms. We want to conquer this darkness and control it to put our fears at ease. It feels as if this is the only way to stay safe.

But the Moon will not be conquered. We are at the mercy of the darkness, of the unknown and trying to change this would be like trying to stop the rotation of the earth. Our best bet at this point is to accept this reality and be receptive to the messages we're receiving.

We're close to finding the gifts offered by the Moon. But will our fears keep us from receiving them?

The journey ahead isn't an easy one. It will cause us to move forward when we're not completely sure what's ahead, but the Moon promises that as long as we keep going-- as long as we don't give up-- we will reach the other side. We will receive everything that led us to go on this journey in the first place.

Reversed, we see the perspective of someone we haven't talk about until now: the crayfish.

The crayfish is all of us-- kinda.

The crayfish represents someone who wants everything that the Moon offers. It wants the transformation, the joy, the good fortune, but it just can't get past the wolf and the dog blocking its path. It's petrified of giving up control and doing things someone else's way.

The Moon claims that these animals mean no harm, but why are they barking and snarling and growling if that isn't the case? They’re so much bigger than the crayfish, too. How could it ever expect to get past them?

How arrogant of such a small creature to doubt the wisdom of the natural forces around it.

The reversed Moon suggests that our fears are keeping us from going on a journey that is essential for our growth. No matter how much we wait and hide, that thing we're avoiding has to happen.

How much longer will we choose to ignore it? When will we stop being able to resist the gifts offered at the end of the journey?

In my version of the card, Majima is the Moon and Sagawa is but a lowly crayfish.

An important, extremely subtle aspect of Sagawa's character is that he enjoys having Majima around. While he tries to frame it as a purely profit motivated desire, this isn't the whole truth. Sagawa developed some level of fondness for this kid that he's holding captive, but he is completely incapable of vocalizing these feelings.

There's a conflict between who Sagawa wants to be-- a paternal figure in his traumatized pseudo-son's life-- and who he feels like he has to be-- a manipulative, abusive monster with absolute control over his traumatized pseudo-son's life. I tried to incorporate this into the card with the use of the bird cages.

The cage on the right is Majima's. Sagawa is afraid of losing Majima, but will never actually act on this fear in a sincere, non-abusive way-- likely due to the way he was taught at a very young age that caring for something unselfishly only causes pain.

The cage on the left represents the bird Sagawa nursed back to health as a child that was eventually killed by Sagawa's own parents. This trauma is passively lingering in the background, but is ultimately part of the reason he treats Majima the way he does.

The main idea I wanted to get across with this card is the battle Sagawa has between his mask, ergo, the guy he wants everyone to think he is, and the little hints we see of who he actually is. For Sagawa to be able to keep the good things in his life, he has to let go of that mask. And Majima is a threat because he gives Sagawa a pretty compelling reason to toss it aside.

But getting rid of the persona he's built would mean completely changing Sagawa's own understanding of who he is. After living so long without getting close to anyone, what would it mean to actually care? How could he continue to live as a yakuza if everyone knows how 'soft' he truly is? Wouldn't it be so much easier to just shove his feelings down and pretend they don't exist? Why would he even take such a risk for some kid?

Change is hard. It requires decisions that we might not like the ramifications of. Sometimes, it's much easier to stay where we are, even if we're not completely happy with our lives.

But the Moon always lingers. It's always there, always whispering in our ear, telling us about the life we could live.

If only we choose to trust it.

After spending my NYE doing... Substances... I spent my NYD refreshing my wards, rebuilding my altar, and putting energy into my long-term workings like my abundance bowl. I did a year-ahead tarot reading and made a batch of new year sun water. I gave many offerings, I mixed up some gateway powder (recipe still in development stage), and I even visited my in-laws. I fucking love New Years.
