REBLOG TO SAVE A LIFE

Hey, you are not an embarrassment for not knowing how to do certain household chores/basic self-care. They do not come naturally to us. A lot of it takes practice! Maybe you had a neglectful guardian. Maybe you had one that was very coddling and never thought to teach you. Maybe you haven't lived in a place where these things were available to you or needed. Doesn't matter. It's okay to not know and far more common than you might realise.

That said, this website provides very simple instructions on how to do everyday tasks such as making your bed, using a washing machine, cooking different foods, washing dishes, taking a shower, etc. All you have to do is use the search bar to find the task you're struggling with, and it'll come up with what you need + other related how-to's:)

If you're having trouble navigating it, let me provide you with some examples:

How to clean dishes by hand

How to make your bed (with visual demonstrations of each step!)

How to fold clothes (with visual demonstrations of each step!)

How to take a shower & dry yourself off (also provides ways to shave beards, armpits, legs and genitals)

How to shave legs, armpits, beards, pubic areas, etc. (a more in-depth guide)

How to mop the floor

How to sweep the floor

How to swallow pills

How to make small talk

How to make eye contact in different situations (or how to avoid it while still looking natural)

It's also perfectly okay if these don't help or aren't appealing to you. Unfortunately, nothing helps everyone.

As someone who recently graduated uni, I feel this so damn hard. FOOTNOTES WILL ALWAYS BE SUPERIOR.

I. HATE. IN-TEXT. CITATIONS.

Not just when I'm writing a paper, but when I'm READING a textbook it looks SO messy (Rick-Astley, 1969, p. 420) and it's SO distracting, (Morbius, 2022) and SO disruptive (Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen, & Rudolph, 1964.) to my reading and (Bird, Grouch, Monster, & Monster, 1997 ) learning process. And why are some of them SO FUCKING (According, 2007; To & All, 1991; Known, Laws, & Of, 2378; Aviation, 57 B.C.E.) LONG???

Welcome to Corvus Luna Creations!

Here at Corvus Luna, I make hand-made, custom and themed crystal bracelets, with more materials and designs being added frequently.

A Bit About CLC's Products

Apart from some pre-designed or single-material bracelets, all items are made-to-order, allowing you to get precisely what you want. With over 100 (at current count, estimated to be 127) materials, ranging from Afghan Jade to Yellow Tiger Eye, there is bound to be something to catch your fancy.

Are CLC Beads Real Crystal?

All beads, with the exception of a handful, are natural crystal, though some are enhanced (such as K2 Jasper) or dyed (such as the many colors of chalcedony). However, all are, at their core, natural crystal. Unless marked, I do not sell man-made 'crystals', as I believe them to have no innate 'powers'. However, due to demand, a handful of man-made beads are included in my stock, such as opalite, goldstone and imperial jasper. All beads that are in any way synthetic or altered from their natural state are marked as such, with all the information I can provide. If not marked they are, to my knowledge, entirely natural.

Why Regular and VIP?

Some beads are classed as VIP, meaning that they are of a higher quality and purity than the standard beads provided. This does not indicate inferiority of one or superiority of the other, to my mind, but rather a different form of the material. For example, VIP Black Tourmaline contains no inclusions, whilst regular Black Tourmaline contains inclusions of quartz and other minerals. Both are equally beautiful, but due to its rarity and purity, VIP does incur a slightly higher cost.

Are There Just Bead Bracelets?

Nope! Whilst, for the moment, bracelets are the focus, I do have the facility to make keyrings and, potentially, chokers and necklaces (though the latter two do need a little more practice). I do also have a selection of pendants available which can be incorporated onto a beaded project or are available on chain or cord. Pictures will be posted as soon as available. I also have several rings available as well as the facility to create anxiety rings in any of the materials I provide (once listed, the anxiety fidget rings shown serve as an example of what style I can make). For those interested in raw chips bracelets, I do have a handful of chip varieties available, and will be gradually increasing stock if demand warrants.

You Said Themed. What's That?

Some of us like to wear jewelry that is designed to be devotional or commemorate our favorite game or show. That's precisely what the themed offerings are. Some are designed by myself and my team of highly creative friends, to be reminiscent of, for example, Lord of the Rings, Dungeons & Dragons, Narnia, AtLA, etc. Others may be created with certain deities in mind, such as Loki, Hades, Persephone, Poseidon, and others. If none of the pre-designed offerings catch your eye, or you would like something custom designed to match your choice, this is 100% what the 'hand-made custom bracelets' concept is all about: a bracelet made specifically with you in mind.

Wait, You Said Deities. Does That Mean Any Deity?

Absolutely. As an Omnist, I fully believe we all have the right to worship any deity or being we feel warrants it. My own pantheon is far-reaching and much too varied to list, but suffice to say whether you seek something for Artemis, Lucifer, Hestia, Buddha, Yahweh or any other, you are completely free to request it. This is a no-judgement zone, and if you wish for me to create your bracelet with prayers to your deity in mind while doing so, I will happily oblige.

Does 'No-Judgement' Really Mean NO Judgement?

Completely. As a member of multiple communities that may be considered 'out of the ordinary', I believe we all are equal, no matter our race, creed, orientation, gender, or illness. Ally bracelets, such as LGBT+, Autism Awareness, Breast Cancer Awareness, and any other cause you may believe in, are fully welcome here, as are those for any religion, band, etc. If you require something made that I can make, it is of no consequence to me what your background is. The fact that you are human is all that matters.

Okay, I Read This Far. How Much?

Firstly, thank you for your patience. It means a lot!

Second, please see my Etsy or Ko-Fi (which will be linked in my Resources page once said page is fully operational) for prices. You will no doubt notice that prices differ. This is because each has a slightly different method of functioning, and therefore a different cost. Please feel free to purchase from whichever you feel most comfortable with.

Please note that every order comes with freebies, so you will be getting more than just your bracelet. These range from worry stones to tumbles to 'confetti bags' (bags of crystal chips chosen to fit as well with your bracelet as possible) and more. Sometimes, there will even be wish bottles or charms!

Thirdly, if you do purchase: My deepest thanks to you. You are helping to support my dream to become an independent creator, something I have wanted to be for many years. If you are unable to purchase: My thanks to you for your time. I hope that you will share Corvus Luna with your friends so that the Raven may spread its wings and soar.

Tarot Readings

Guess what everyone!

Starting Monday, March 26 2023, I will be opening up for tarot readings! Prices will be $10 USD for standard readings and $15 for more in-depth, subject-specific readings, payable via Paypal for the moment, until I have Etsy arranged. Simply send an ask to let me know you'd like a reading, and I will send you the information needed :)

All readings, for the moment, will be done with the Green Witch, Linestrider or Shadowscapes decks, with the Shadowscapes being the automatic choice if a deck isn't selected.

If you're strapped for cash and can't afford the full price, or are particularly generous and would like to pay more than the standard fee, please be aware that I do accept tips via Tumblr, and will gladly accept other amounts via Paypal, as every penny helps. It's rare that I will turn away someone asking for a reading.

If you would like to 'pay it forward', making a reading free for someone who can't afford it, this is always an option, and I will always notify here on my blog if a PiF 'ticket' is available. If you 'redeem' such a ticket, please do so because you can't afford to pay, not because you don't want to, as this is a gesture of kindness from someone and should not be taken advantage of.

Please be aware that, as with all tarot/ divination, results should be taken with a grain of salt and are classed as being 'for entertainment purposes'. I take no responsibility for any actions or decisions made based on readings.

Go Fund CorvusLunaCreations

Apparently, from a reliable source, CorvusLunaCreations are going to start doing tarot card bags with CATS and if that doesn't sell you, here you go... Cheshire Cats. However we will not be able to buy such cat bags (and other bags for none cat fans, e.g. Grogu and Stitch) until they have raised sufficient funds.

So there, that's my sales pitch. Be persuaded.

Also her bracelets are beautiful and really thoughtful (read any of her posts and you'll get what I mean). She also has started (or is soon to start) doing tarot readings, so definitely check her out and help her out on Go Fund Me so she can keep doing this!

Do it. The cats will it.

Side Note To Fan Fic Authors

Here’s the thing.

I read a lot of scripts.  A lot.  From professionals to aspiring writers to complete newbies.  Features and pilots.  Specs and treatments.

And 8 times out of 10 the fan fic that I’ve read over the last, oh, 15 years is leagues better than this stuff.  It’s more inspired.  It’s more compelling.  It’s genre bending and creative and heartfelt.  It’s well-paced and intense and funny and sexy and meaningful.  It’s smart and thoughtful and good.  It’s novel-quality.  Better than, sometimes.

Rare is the script I don’t want to put down, but how often have we stayed up until 3am to get to the last chapter of a 100k fic? And it’s not even a fan fic author’s day job.  This is what they do on the side.  In their spare time.  For free.

So my point is, fan fic authors, you’re good.  You’re good writers and great storytellers.  I know it doesn’t always feel like it, especially if you’re one of the authors who’s not a BNF and doesn’t get the notes/hits that a few do.  And  because some people still view fic as “not real writing.” You guys know the shit that gets made into movies.  You’re better than that.  So be better than that.  If writing is what you think want to do, then just know you’re already doing it.   You’ve already started.

And you’re more talented than you might think.

just because someone can articulate their point better doesn’t make them right, it makes them articulated.

ok kids repeat after me

vinegar and bleach makes chlorine gas, which is highly toxic

ammonia and bleach makes chloramine, which is highly toxic

rubbing alcohol and bleach makes chloroform, which is highly toxic

hydrogen peroxide and vinegar makes peracetic/peroxyacetic acid, which can be highly corrosive

be careful about your cleaning products and dont get yourself injured or potentially killed ok

starting a new company, Autistic Auditors, where we send blunt autistic people to check up on things like companies to stand there and be like “actually that thing the CEO said made no sense, elaborate” and pushing them to actually explain their dodgy corporate language that avoids accountability and reliability. Just really grind them down with repeated “why” and “but what does that mean” and writing down the answers in clear and obvious language.

IDK I’m just sick of hearing how Business Bros talk and how many people are suckers for it. I want blunt people standing there going “hey, that guy didn’t actually SAY anything, he just strung together a bunch of nonsense corporate words to make you think ‘ooo profit’ but there’s nothing substantial here”

We would do the same to politicians.

Autism Acceptance Controversy

For those who saw my post in which I explained that I plan some Autism Awareness/ Autism Acceptance bracelets, I would like to make two things extremely clear:

First, I'm newly-diagnosed. I'm bound to get things wrong, use language that people find outdated or controversial, do things that aren't quite 'right', etc. It's part of learning. If you know I've made a mistake somewhere along the way, please correct me. Gently. I won't take offense. Quite the opposite. I want to learn what's correct in this community I've now become a part of, but if you do decide to correct me, I ask that you do so in a nice way. That's not to say anyone's said anything so far, but just a note in advance. I will always take constructive criticism to heart and try to act on it.

Second, and most importantly: the Puzzle Piece. I've been seeing posts about the controversy behind it, and I would like to make it clear that I will be making some bracelets with the puzzle piece symbol. However, this is not for the same reason (or so I'm seeing) that Autism Speaks uses it. AS apparently uses it because Autism is a 'puzzling condition'. My choice to use the puzzle piece is because I want to represent the fact that Autistic people fit into society just as much as those who aren't, that we have our own little niche just like everyone else. If you prefer not to have the puzzle piece on your bracelet, I will make some without it as well, and will also be seeking out the infinity symbol and rainbow in charm form, as I'm seeing people say these are acceptable alternatives. Again, if I'm wrong, please correct me. If I'm right, please let me know. I can only learn from feedback and guidance.

Thank you, and Blessed Be! Don't forget to smile!

Upcoming Crystals of the Day

Just thought I would put this here, since I've had a few requests for information on crystals.

If you have a particular crystal you'd like to see profiled that's on my bead list, by all means request and I will happily add it to the CotD queue. Even if it's not on my list, feel free to ask and I will gladly do what I can to either share what I know or do the research to find out what I can for you!
