Story time in the Goetia household! Whether a child Stolas is reading by himself or an adult Stolas is reading to a little Octavia, they are taking the time to read a new storybook. [Part 9]

This is a continued reading of "Cereza and the Lost Demon".

Chapter 02: Into The Unknown

To be continued...

What thoughts, feelings, and opinions do you think Stolas (and Octavia) would be having when reading this part?

--------

Also, perhaps Goetia father and daughter might have their own inputs on a couple extra bits of supplementary info? ⬇️

Onyx Roses

Avalon Drops

Oh my wouldn't this be a wild start to another reading session, both Goetia's incredibly nervous as Cereza timidly traverses through the forest, visibly stressing at the vine walking she does, Stolas mentailly chastising himself for respecting Octavia so much that he didn't read ahead for any more scares but he keeps reading.

I think they might calm down a bit when Cereza starts using her buffed magic to navigate the forest, seeing she has some control over the situation, Both even gasping in awe at the large thorn bind she manages on the Faerie plant, Octavia more so. Stolas happily chuckling as he keeps reading.

That is until the incredibly ominous narration starts up again, Cereza slows to make her timidness again clear before the first faeries show up, Stolas almost dropping the book in surprise as the tense chase begins before it ends with Cereza falling off a ledge, tears pricking at Octavia's eyes before she wipes them off upon seeing Cereza is fine.

Over all a very emotional start for sure ^^'

As for the bits about the items, I feel Stolas would quite like the idea of the Onyx roses, hopeless romantic gardener and all, and loving magical plants in general. Octavia on the other hand with the Avalon drops, "Magic can turn into candy?"She asks innocently, making Stolas chuckle as he ruffles the feathers on her head, supposing it's possible. Much calmer then the actual story at the moment of course XP

yaaay my mentailly ill ex classmate is not deaaad just saw him walking to buy cigaretts

[troonwolf]

Yeah okay the thing with this is if you’re neutral on endogenics you’re neutral on a cult and I legitimately don’t consider you safe to be around, especially for mentailly ill people who have been harmed by this shit to be around. I also don’t think your judgement or perspective can be trusted.

It’s like being “neutral” to Q-anon or anti-vaxx. You know it’s harmful, you see the harm it does, you’re involved in syscourse so you must see it, but you still insist on being “unaligned”. Yes I consider that a red flag, sorry not sorry.

On a wee side note, amidst all the Patrick Melrose gloriousness--everything at work is completely FUBAR right now. I’ve got just two hours to go, thank god, then I wanna go home & drink & write & drown myself in hopeless romanticism.

Let's talk about Bruno

Yeah, I'll broke the Madrigal rule and talk about Bruno. XD

For what we had seen in the sneek peaks and trailers, when we see moments of him in the "present" or to be more precise, when he is with Mirabel, we see him without the filters the rest of the family put on him.

What is he like? Turns out he's a pretty harmless person. Pretty eccentric, has rats as friends pets, seems to have insomnia, anxiety problems, is superstitios... but not even a little amount of evil on this man.

We know he left the family, but for the amount of resentment on the ones who know him, seems like he was forced by the social preassure.

And those who know him, speak incredibly ill of him.

Let's check out the insanely catchy song of "We don't talk about Bruno", for further data.

What we get from this song:

He predicted rain on his sister's day, and she, since her mood controls the wheater, got the stress that caused first rain, then all escalated to hurracaine.

He was a person who was always mumbling (mentailly ill?).

He's asociated with the sound of falling sand (sand-clock symbology?).

He always has had rats with him.

He was seen as a ill-omen bird, and was described with the aesthetics of one.

He was always predicting bad things. He stopping you to tell you meant bad news.

His predictions always turn on true.

People behave as if him warning about those bad things was like he was responsible for those bad things.

Everyone remember him only by the prophecies he told, even his family (mother, sisters, brothers in law and the oldest of the nieces).

And no one wants to know anything else about him, since they seem to be toxically positive and he brought negativity with him.

Sooooooo.... Bruno was a person who was always trying to warn people about bad things, but people rejected him since he appeared to them only as a ill-omen bird.

Seems like he was shut out from everyone else for a power he couldn't help but have. But since it was one with no pretty side, he was no "useful for the town". And now they make him look as a bad person to the youngest.

People of the town and Madrigal family:

In defense of the Madrigals, on the other hand, who doesn't know you can't give stress to a bride on her wedding day? It seems he couldn't shut up about what he predicts.

Witchy PSA

Hey, witches, brujxs and pagans! I just wanted to quickly address something I’ve seen in the witchy community that worries an adult witch such as myself, and that’s having people tell you that they can communicate with your patron/matron deity, or any other spirit guides or non-corporeal being, when you yourself cannot.

Let me say right off the bat that 99% of the times, this person is trying to manipulate you. While I imagine there are people who are more attuned to deities and spirits better than others, no one should be using it as an excuse to tell you how to live your life or what to do unless you ask them for advice. And honestly? You can ask the spirits yourself, once you educate yourself and take the proper precautions. 

Look, I get it. Many of us come into this community happy that magick is indeed real, and that what some believe is fantasy is a reality to (some of) us. And it’s wonderful to think that way, but it doesn’t mean you should believe every person who claims to read auras/tell the future/communicate with deities.

Let me tell you a story. In high school, I was friends with a girl who claimed to be a witch, but in reality had no idea what she was doing, and only got her information from a few articles online. She claimed to be able to talk to angels and that we each were reincarnated elemental spirits. Now, I wasn’t in a good headspace at the time, and long story short, I completely abandoned my common sense just to indulge in this fantasy.

Because of this, I let somebody tell me when to feel ashamed of myself whenever I did something she didn’t approve of, because “I made her spirit angry” or some nonsense like that. This cost me a lot of embarassment down the line, and a lot of inner turmoil because deep inside I know I was just playing pretend.

When I did stop believeing her, I harboured a huge resentement towards witchcraft and all things metaphsical that stayed with me for years until I realized that there were actual books on these subjects that were a lot more down-to-earth (as much as spirits and magick can be to a person, anyway). They taught me that magick isn’t flashy, Hollywood movie magic, and it certainly won’t let you fly or become metahuman or whatever else people tend to assume about it.

It wasn’t a pretty experince, but accepting it made me all the more aware of the fact that there will always be people trying to take advantage of you, no matter where you are. While I have found a lot of acceptance in the witchy and pagan community, I’ve also seen a lot of stuff like this.

How can you tell if soembody is manipulating you? Here are some red flags:

-They say that they are the ONLY person who can communicate with this entity/spirit, and anybody else is lying to you if they say they communicate with said entity.

-They tell you said entity is “angry” or “upset” oif you do something the person in question doesn’t agree with.

-They contsantly make you feel inferior for not having the same “talent” as you.

-They tell you not to seek professional help, i.e., medical attention when you get ill, or going to a therapist or psychatrist when you are mentailly ill.

-They promise “salvation” only if you follow their standards.

-They tell you to self-harm or harm other people or animals for “the entity”. While some religious practices do perform animal sacrifice, they are often closed practices, and it's usually an animal that is commonly eaten, like a rooster for example. The purpose of said rituals are not meant to torture said animal or cause it prolonged suffering, but to offer something to their deities/ancestors/gods.

-They tell you to be ashamed of your physical appearance, a disability you may have, or your sexual orientation. (FYI, pedofilia is NOT a sexual orientation. If you or somebody you know is attracted to minors you should seek professional help IMMEDIATELY, and call the police if somebody intends to harm a minor).

If you recognize these behaviours, distance yourself from this person and get professional help. Witchcraft shouldn’t be about servitude. This person is an abuser, and you deserve better.

The Holidays Can be Fucking Tough

Especially for "mentailly ill" individuals. (And what constitutes as "mentally ill", anyway? Aren't we all "mentally" -- different?) Day(s) when you can reach out to those who have left imprints on your heart just because it's a holiday can become infuriatingly saddening when you don't get a response. Days when you see on social media everyone (and not really everyone, but it still fucking feels like it) spending time with their significant others or their children or groups of family and friends can lead to intensive lonliness and envy. It's hard to think of things rationally. As pointed out to me by a friend, you don't think of all the logical reasons why someone isn't answering you, or why someone's holiday looks different than yours. All you feel is rejection and jealousy of the way things are for others and don't examine your own life from a realistic point of view. It's alienating. You feel alone and like no one feels like you. You're the only person being ignored. You're the only one that's sitting around, wishing you were surrounded by different, or more, people. It's hard to have fun. It's hard to be happy. You try, but halfway through, you wish you were just in your room, stoned or asleep.

This year hasn't helped, either. I'm not really one to blame it on 2020, or to blame it on the pandemic, but today, I have to say, it's taken a toll on me and everyone. I could only see 4 (maybe 5) houses decorated on my street tonight. My neighbors probably felt like I did -- what's the point? It wasn't like meeting people this year was easy, if even plausable. I'm inside, working from home every day, just like a high percentage of people. And I've thought about trying the whole online dating thing again, but again, what's the point? I'd be weary of meeting someone in person right now, and especially now that I'm facing jail time, that idea has just died. So I live vicariously through my fictional characters that aren't even fictional, just -- rearranged to my fanatical liking. A story that I could never have. Emotions I'll never feel again. A love I'll never have.

I guess I just needed to vent a bit. I know I'm feeling down a lot, but today was even worse than usual. Pile that on top of part of my family being missing (RIP Rocket), it was just hard to enjoy things; not to say I had nothing to enjoy, which just makes me feel like an ungrateful bitch, and I'm not, I swear. I know I'm not alone, but it sure feels like it. So, if you have someone in your life who you know is struggling, check up on them today. They may appreciate it more than you'll ever know.
