#satanic portland

[queersatanic]

Okay, so the church of satan and the satanic temple are both bad. Are there better satanic organizations? And do they have a chapter in Oregon? 👀

You should probably assume that no organization of Satanists are actually "the good ones".

You probably are going to have to build your own thing rather than join an already existing org.

That said, our experiences with Capital Area Satanists have been good, and they recently opened up their community to be more than just the Maryland-D.C.-Virginia area.

They might be a good resource for connecting to other, like-minded people locally?

We'd also point you toward Satanic Portland, but the last public thing we're aware of was last summer, and they may be back on hiatus now.

album ask: transcendental youth by tmg

best song: in memory of satan. what a beautiful heartrending song. the instrumentation on this adds so much--i understand why so many people prefer lo-fi mountain goats but the brass/wind on this song is one of the reasons i'm glad that they went full-band.

my favourite song: harlem roulette. some of darnielle's best songwriting in that song. as someone who like, thinks a lot about, like, the passing down of information & the weight of history -- "four hours north of portland a radio flips on / and some no one from the future remembers that you're gone" is a line that really affects me

my least favourite song: this si the easy answer but like many others i don't particularly like the weird vocal effects on 'until i am whole'. i don't hate them as much as some other people but like. they definitely make the song worse.

most overrated song: i mean to be clear i think that 'spent gladiator 1' is an incredible song in which darnielle aptly conveys a powerful message. but i think it's a powerful message that he conveys better and more compellingly elsewhere.

most underrated song: i really like counterfeit florida plates and it seems like a song basically lost to TMG history. it's so evocative. it tells such a story and with such... not only sympathy, but also respect for its subject. which is what darnielle has always been best at.

banger of bangers: the diaz brothers. holy shit. it is so imoprtnat that we have mercy for the diaz brothers. the jordan lake sessions version is even better btw.

overall rating: 10/10. incredible album. top 10 all-timer material for me for sure

I did it!

I went on my first walk with my cane to try it out after watching multiple videos from other disabled folks on how to size and walk with the cane.

Then before the sun decided to be as hot as Satan's ass crack, I headed out to the nearby park :)

No one made any comments or stared, just smiled at me like normal.

And I got the feel of what the cane was like in both hands and each foot.

Overall I think it was a success.

Have some pictures of pretty flowers I took on my walk ❤️ I'm in the suburbs of Portland metro so that's why there's so many roses.

that stupid fucking polycule in portland oregon really just spelled out why the fuck it is so hard to say you’re poly and people look at you like you just crawled out of satan’s asshole

Spidersins AU-2

Sea Spider

•Leviathan lives with his Uncle(by marriage), Barbatos!

•Earth 1.1508(or 1.15 since that's shorter to say) has unfortunately been the subject of extreme flooding. Causing Levi's home of Portland, Maine to more closely resemble our Earth's Italy. Most transport is via waterways or walking.

After having lost his father and uncle in a fishing accident and his mother being unable to care for him.

•Leviathan was bitten during a school trip to a science lab, more akin to Spider-Man(2017)

•He created his own web-shooters and webbing! Designing it to be more rigid so it works just aswell underwater as it does on land

•His suit and tech has been more adapted for aquatics aswell, most of them being waterproof if not entirely hydrophobic. Though this is more to the adaptions of his Earth's technology more than anything Levi himself has done

•Levi's knowledge of comics and video games allows him to make us of hammerspace that some of the other Sins cannot! (Namely Asmo, Belphie and Satan) while the others can make use of it is to a far less ridiculous extent than Levi.

His silly swimshorts are a Mary Poppins bag of web reloads, first aid supplies, tools to repair his things and general teenage needs(cell phone, house keys etc)

•His suit has more of wetsuit material than a traditional heroes costume, as well having "grip" pads on the palms and fingers

•Suit Appearance:

do you have any reconmendations for ‘satanic chruches’ other than TST and Church of Satan?

We've answered this before, and the short version is "it's tough".

Newer communities pop up all the time, like Hail Arizona, or return like Satanic Portland, to do local antifascist work.

Our standing advice will be that you should look around and different Satanic folk, take good ideas and discard the bad ones (including when you find out it's just neo-colonialist occult nonsense), and build your own community or group doing what you want to do.

In terms of online Satanic groups, just be alert to the red flags of hierarchy and exploitation.

Remember “I have never been abused by X person or Y group” is a baseline that most people dealing with an abuser are able to say, which is why us saying good things about those we have experience with can only ever mean so much.

Let nothing be too precious to you to not be willing to oppose or abandon if it should deserve it.

Ok I have a lot of piercings and tattoos. Boys opinions?

Oh shit oh shit okay I too have tattoos and (a few) piercings so let’s gooooooooo

Ricardo: loves them. He loves a tough baddie covered in ink, especially in more… risqué places, ya feel? He’s a little less enthusiastic about piercings (he’d love your piercings because they are a part of you but in general eh) he is however VERY enthusiastic about nipple piercings, especially when he can see them through your shirt

Otto: could spend hours staring at every line of ink on your body, buys you piercings when he’s out if he sees them and they remind him of you, will go with you to get your next piercing BUT is kinda squeamish with certain areas (yes he shoved like fifty needles into his spine but he didn’t have to watch it happen)

Doc Ock: he’d get tattoos with you, and he’d get super turned on watching you get pierced (so he’d learn to do it himself so he could give you piercings) likes to nibble and pull certain piercings (ears, nipples, lips, labia if ya got that downstairs)

Robert: loves tattoos, iffy on piercings (he loves surprise piercings aka the kind that he can’t see until you’re naked in front of him it just makes you seem even more naughty) kinda wants to get your name tattooed over his heart tbh

Harding: loves tattoos, loves piercings (yes he’s very formal but he also lives in Portland I mean come on there’s plenty of that flavor of eye candy for him to enjoy) he makes sure your piercings and tattoos are kept clean and don’t get infected, also does research on the best places to get piercings that increase sensitivity because sex

Manuel: wow oh my god listen I have a thing about men of god punishing me so I’m immediately thinking he’d love piercings because he’d attach (lightweight) chains to them and have them stretched just enough that the threat of pain from movement is present (he’d be VERY careful because this can be VERY dangerous!!!!!) also loves tattoos, especially some of the more regal ones (deep blood crimson colored tattoos??? InstaHard.

Harold: he loves “tasteful” tattoos and piercings (he loves all tattoos and piercings but he pretends he only enjoys elegant ones to keep up appearances)

Arden: this is my answer (also wants you to give him a stick n poke)

Dick: *see Arden* (minus the stick n poke)

Armand: okay don’t take this weird but he’d act like a tired father who doesn’t understand his young adult child and their fashion sense (but that’s only at first, after awhile he starts sending you pretty tattoo designs and cool jewelry and buys you some when he finds something he wants to see you in)

Hank: “oh? we got a bad little slut, huh? think you’re tough with all that shit? see if you can handle what I’m about to throw at ya” (aka slimy politician is turned on)

Diego: obsessed with curating your looks, especially when nude (the jewelry and the tats have to accentuate one another)

Horvath: okay so it’s unofficially officially canon that horvath has tattoos because we all say so, so obviously he loves tattoos but he ALSO loves piercings!! Another big fan of nipple piercings specifically

Big Boss (I didn’t watch the whole movie but I watched several of his parts and oof fuck me satan cowboy): dude he dresses in all black I’d be willing to bet he has some tattoos and one nipple pierced, he’s gonna be OBSESSED with a hottie like you covered in ink and metal

Chandler: similar to Big Boss (although I don’t think he wears his nipple piercing all the time, only once in awhile) so again OBSESSED probably even more so than Big Boss he gives me more “fuck tattoos and piercings make me hard” vibes

Frank: strikes me as more traditional, so maybe not a huge fan, but it’s definitely not a dealbreaker

Edelweiss: boi has both nipples pierced, his frenulum pierced, his belly button pierced… doesn’t have any tattoos because he’s too afraid of the ink (???) but he loves tattoos on others

Andres: similar to Manuel, would pay for your tattoos and piercings like the trope of men paying for women’s nails

Dunlop: he likes traditional tattoos and piercings, but, like Frank, it’s not a dealbreaker

Boris: he’d be immediately enamored but you because you’re the first person he’s seen with tattoos and piercings in real life and he wants trace all of the art on your skin and feel the cool metal against his fingertips he’s just so fascinated by you

All Molina Characters: they love you and that means they love every part of you, just because I say some might be less enthused than others doesn’t mean that they wouldn’t LOVE your tattoos and piercings!!! You are happy and have full autonomy and feel confident enough to sport the look you love and that’s all that matters to them

[krash-and-co]

Hi Krash!

What do you think everyone's favourite drink is 😛

YOU HAHAHAHAHA I WAS EXPECTING A MESSAGE LIKE THIS

Lockwood: this is coming from canon here lol. yes he likes tea, it's been shown time and time again it's definitely a comfort for him. no sugar no milk just straight tea (I think it said?). and he likes it. but on special occasions he likes to have cocoa, which was mentioned a few times, so I think that's his true favorite but he doesn't have it much. too sweet probably.

Lucy: sure as hell ain't her favorite but once she and Lockwood boiled energy drinks at 2 am and made tea with them for a "super boost." it tasted like satan made it. (she and George dared Lockwood to finish his anyway. he did. he puked.)

Her real favorite is chocolate milk. hell yeah luce.

George: lemonade!!! his mum would help him set up a stand when he was younger, and although his wasn't anything special his mother somehow made it amazing. she brought it over to 35 Portland Row once, and lucy loved it too. lockwood took a sip, gagged, pretended to like it, and politely excused himself to make tea. whatever that's his fault he's just wrong

Spirit Possession — Of the Sign… (Profound Lore)

Photo by Isaac Bushkin

Of The Sign... by SPIRIT POSSESSION

It’s not entirely clear what spirit possesses Spirit Possession. An especially pissed-off Pazuzu? Several droppers-full of liquid acid? Listening to this new record from the Portland-based USBM band, you may ask, “Why choose?” The guitars snake and slither, coated in reverb and echo; the resulting vibrations are, as the kids say, lysergic. The creepy sneers and snarls that constitute vocals locate their energies in black metal’s ill-intended, malign modality. But this isn’t Satanic ritual, so much as the drug-fueled, sexy and seedy party that has a delightfully bad, early-1970s Satanic-ritual-horror flick playing in the background. In spite of that louche and vaguely libidinous register of references (more this reviewer’s than the record’s), Of the Sign… feels weirdly serious, or maybe serious about its weirdness.

Likely we shouldn’t be surprised. Steve Peacock and Ashley Spungin, the creators involved in Spirit Possession, are very capable practitioners of music that goes heavy on the churn and atmospherics. Peacock has any number of projects underway, but lately he has been especially active in the ambitious, Lovecraft-obsessed black/death band Ulthar. Spungin drums in the band accompanying Vouna’s live performances and was one of the founders of doom-drone specialists Insect Ark. Those credentials noted, Spirit Possession is a very distinct entity, calling on the antic pace and compositional sensibility of thrash, the weirdo-freak undulations of the darkest varieties of psych rock and black metal’s sonic textures. 

The volatility of those genres and the pyrotechnics of the production (see especially those ever-proliferating layers of reverb) might make Of the Sign… sound a bit like schtick. Certainly, the band keeps things deliberately cranked to maximum levels of gonzo. But we should also note that there are some interesting riffs under all the chaotic surface values, and Peacock’s playing is as dexterous as it is profoundly nuts — see especially “Second Possession” and the record’s longest song, “Enter the Golden Sign.” He manages to combine speed-metal bluster and groin thunder with blackened vitriol. Spungin doesn’t keep time, rather she seems interested in driving the songs into wilder and increasingly twisted shapes. 

The resulting oversaturations can be challenging to endure for long periods, which is likely the point. Among the more interesting problems posed by Of the Sign… is its sustained intensity, and the listener’s desire to remain subject to it. Depending on the extent of your experience (as Hendrix put it), the record may feel like one of those trips that toggles acutely between bummer descents and sudden explosions of strange inspiration. Generating music that mirrors that fervid acuity is a sort of accomplishment, and Spirit Possession are riding something fierce.
