If I may ask, what method do you use for astral projecting? It's something I've been on again/off again committed to achieving for like, years, but I could never quite get to the point of release no matter what I tried. I'm back towards making a serious commitment to it and I'm just curious what you've found to be successful. Thanks!
No problem anon! This answer became way longer than I intended so I'm putting it under a cut.
You sound a lot like me when I first started out, I was 15 when I learned about astral projection and I tried a lot of methods, like visualizing a rope or ladder above me and climbing out of my body. I didn't achieve my first projection until I was 18, and I did so via lucid dreaming.
Now at that point, I had had a few lucid dreams but I couldn't figure out how to astral project out of my dream, as when I became lucid I got so excited about the fact that I had achieved lucidity I woke myself up. Or if I didn't wake up something strange would happen every time I became lucid: a black swirling "portal" would open up beneath my feet and suck me in, a new dream would start and I would lose my lucidity. If I tried to run away from the portal my struggle would wake md up. There was one time I saw the portal and instead of trying to escape it I dove headfirst into it and popped out on the astral plane.
It was a horrible experience. I was in pain the entire time and terrified. But that didn't deter me from continuing to try to astral project, until recently I could only project through dreams. Now I have had some experiences where I project while awake during meditation, but every single time this has happened I wasn't trying to project, I was just trying to meditate and got to a point where I could feel my consciousness shift and I just let it happen. My most recent experience was surprising and incredibly pleasant! But not all projections are like that. Anon, here is my advice to anyone who wants to astral project:
-Learn what an Unverified Personal Gnosis is, if you don't already know. People who astral project have a tendency to make their experience the definitive end-all be-all, but everyone's experience is different.
-Build habits, but don't try so hard. Projection is best achieved through habit, try doing reality checks while awake to determine if you're dreaming or not. Don't set alarms/reminders to do them, you need to build a subconscious habit to do it regularly. My reality check of choice is to close my mouth and pinch my nose shut and try to inhale. If I'm dreaming, I will continue breathing if I do this.
-Keep a dream journal. Having good dream recall is key to remembering that you projected. Even if you don't project through dreams, dream recall is like a muscle that when strengthened, strengthens other aspects of your consciousness. For all you know you have achieved astral projection and just don't remember.
-Take care of yourself. Every time that I achieved projection was when I was healthy, eating well, and exercising. I'm not shaming anyone who can't eat the same way I do or exercise the same way. Just make sure you're drinking a lot of water, do a simple exercise every day like walking for at least 10 minutes or some active stretching. Avoid making a habit of eating things with excessive sodium and sugar. I'm not saying you can't eat candy or chips every now and then, but don't do it all the time. Your health is important.
-Meditate every day. Even if it's just five minutes, building a habit of meditation rewires your brain and improves memory, including dream recall. Meditation can be frustrating especially in the beginning, but I'm really happy I forced myself to build the habit of meditation. Don't beat yourself up if you feel like you didn't meditate "correctly". The fact you're putting in the effort is the most correct thing you can do when it comes to building a habit.
-There is no one perfect method to achieve projection, and there is no perfect way to tell that you have achieved projection. I read a lot of things online and in books that when you astral project you'll see your sleeping body beneath you, or you'll see a cord connecting your astral body to your physical body. I've never had either of those experiences, and I know I've achieved projection because sensations feel real, including pain, which is something I've never felt in a dream.
I hope this helped you, I don't feel like I'm at a point where I can teach people to astral project but it doesn't mean I won't try. Feel free to ask follow up questions on something that wasn't clear, astral projection is still a learning experience for me, even after 10 years of trying.

I thought on this overnight cause at first I wanted to post someone outside of my flight rising dragons but that didn't happen. I couldn't get this girl out of my head as my fav this year
Tumblr media
Her name is Antifreeze Indigestion and she was part of a lore nest collab with @pumpkin-bread
Here's her lore snippet:
"Originally she was an enthusiastic engineer that worked on a space shuttle. Sadly one day when she was working on one of the ejection pods another crewmate had opened the pod to space to eject it's contents, not knowing she was in there. She was ejected into space and very quickly succumbed to it's vacuum. Her body drifted within range of a black hole and "something" took hold of her, salvaging and repurposing her body. A fraction of her soul hanging on through the process. She was found unconscious in one of the shuttle bays with the only thing she remembered being that she had hit her head in the bay. She was admitted into the medical bay for examination. Antifreeze was examined by The lead neurosurgeon who found that the dark patterns on her body had become an anomaly of shifting space between physical and antimatter. The antimatter void being its own dimension of stars and eyes that looked out at those that observed it whispering nightmares in their heads. She has become a mostly feral abomination who gnashes her teeth and seaks to consume and instill nightmares but she rarely she drifts into moments of her old self but not having awareness of what had occurred. A small shred of her self barely anchored to the chaos of her new existence."

I just listened to that audio you made and, while I’m normally a sub, gods did that awaken something in me. Hearing your quiet little please and whines. It’s just got me thinking.
I’m just imagining you in bed, drifting in a state between conscious and unconscious when I walk in. You just look so peaceful and pretty I just can’t help myself but to slowly come over and crawl above you. I’ll whisper “you know our safe word right?” You’ll nod and make a little noise, “that’s not enough sweetheart, I need you to tell it to me.” After a verbal conformation I’ll smile “good boy”
It’ll start off with just some gentle kisses to your face, and I’ll slowly work my way down to your neck, making my own little happy trail. Then I’d slowly glide my hands up your shirt, feeling the warmth underneath the clothing, and I’d start fondling your chest, using my thumbs to make little circles around your nipples. After a bit more teasing I’d move one of my hands down your panties, feeling the wet mess that’s already in there. “Awww precious little thing, already so wet for me? It’s like you were made for me to do this to you.” I’d start circling fingers around your pussy, occasionally giving your clit some attention before fingering you slowly, making sure to stretch you out. “Just relax, you’re doing so good for me, taking my fingers so well.” “I should fuck you like this more often.” “You’re being such a good little thing, keep making those noises.” “Fuck you sound so good.”
After a bit I’d get my strap, rubbing circles on your stomach, waiting for any signs that you want me to stop, I ask even for a confirmation that you’re still good to keep going, and once again I get it from you and say “good little thing aren’t ya?” Before I start to slowly thrust into you. I do my best to keep it controlled at first, but you keep making those noises and whines I may just loose control. Picking up speed, or pounding into you harder, hell maybe both, anything to hear more of those desperate noises.
In all whispers and hushed tones and grunts, I’d probably be rambling things like “I’m sorry sweetheart I’m almost done, I just can’t resist, you look so good like this, you sound so perfect, keep making those noises for me. You sound so perfect taking my dick. Don’t worry about keeping quiet, let everyone know how good you feel, let them know how much you enjoy being fucked like this. Such a good boy you are”
“Awww you almost done? Gonna cum soon? Go on and do so. You better cum for me after so much I’ve done for you.” I’d grab a vibe and put it up to your clit, but I’d keep going with the thrusts. “That’s it, such a good boy, keep making noise. I love your noises.”
We go on for however long you want, but when we’re both done I’d make sure to clean you up, get you a new set of clothes to change into if you’d like. I’d check over your body to make sure you’re not injured before crawling into bed with you and holding you close to me, rubbing small circles into your arm/back. “You did so good for me sweetheart, get some rest cause you deserve it, have a good night,” and I’d kiss your forehead.
Sorry for such the long text wall, but I do hope you enjoy it and that you have a good day ^_^ to actually ask a question on here what is your favorite dessert/sweets?
~✨
ANON
YOU CANT DO THIS TO ME ANON
I HAVE THINGS TO DO TODAY I CANT JUST BE DAYDREAMING ABOUT HOW GOOD YOUD FEEL INSIDE OF ME WHILE MY HEAD IS ALL FUZZY AND SLEEPY
Anyways yeah that’s. You just touched on like every single one of my kinks I swear to god. Somno, praise, a little degradation, some implied overstim/maybe Cnc? You shouldn’t be allowed to be on anon when you’re doing this to me /lh

Hi! I’m a huge fan of ACOSOS, and I love the way you’re writing their relationship. I’m sorry you feel discouraged with people not interacting with your works, and I understand if you don’t want to carry on with the story. That being said, I think you’re a wonderful writer, and I will always appreciate the art that you’re sharing! Much love 🖤
Oh my gosh, hi!
Thank you so much for the ask, it means so so so much!
I do wanna carry on with the story, don't worry, I swear it's not been abandoned, it's just that putting the pen to paper to actually write down the ideas that I have has been so hard.
That being said, it means so much that you enjoy my writing.
💜💜💜

Watch me struggle to pick from the list because they're all great questions~
I'll go for: What's something an OC of yours needs to learn? Because i 💖love💖 when characters learn :)
Aw man, me too though! It’s so very fun about characters learning things. In this case, it’s Lith <3
She needs to learn to ask for/accept help, preferably before she collapses from whatever strain she’s put herself under.
Lith is the best of the best, the top member of the arial cavalry. She fought her way to that top spot tooth and nail. She doesn’t need help. She can’t need help, not anymore. Because that would mean the other squires from when she was training were right and she’s she’s not cut out for this. She’s weak.
And weakness gets you, or the people you love, killed.
This stems from a spicy cocktail of Lith’s training as a squire where she was teased by some of the other trainees for being “just a farm girl”, some is from spending time at war, and the rest is from only vaguely fleshed out plot stuff that left her powerless.
Interestingly, it’s all personal. Accepting help in a 5v1 fight doesn’t bother her, or even in just a 2v1 fight. It’s a personal thing. She loathes the idea of not being good enough, so if she’s the best then that means she can handle everything that happens to her. From stabbings to trauma nightmares. She also doesn’t want to burden people with her issues, especially when she thinks she can handle them on her own or she thinks there’s something more pressing to get too.
Except that’s not quite right lol. Support systems are important, you can’t do everything on your own and sometimes you need help and that’s okay! Even when you are the best of the best, needing support doesn’t invalidate everything you’ve worked for. Lith just… hasn’t really processed that yet lol.
She does eventually learn this particular lesson though, it’s a thread that kicks off in her and her friends adventures, but doesn’t resolve until Lith is like, early 30s. She’s very stubborn like that XD

probably time for this story i guess but when i was a kid there was a summer that my brother was really into making smoothies and milkshakes. part of this was that we didn't have AC and couldn't afford to run fans all day so it was kind of important to get good at making Cool Down Concoctions.
we also had a patch of mint, and he had two impressionable little sisters who had the attitude of "fuck it, might as well."
at one point, for fun, this 16 year old boy with a dream in his eye and scientific fervor in heart just wanted to see how far one could push the idea of "vanilla mint smoothie". how much vanilla extract and how much mint can go into a blender before it truly is inedible.
the answer is 3 cups of vanilla extract, 1/2 cup milk alternative, and about 50 sprigs (not leaves, whole spring) of mint. add ice and the courage of a child. idk, it was summer and we were bored.
the word i would use to describe the feeling of drinking it would maybe be "violent" or perhaps, like. "triangular." my nose felt pristine. inhaling following the first sip was like trying to sculpt a new face. i was ensconced in a mesh of horror. it was something beyond taste. for years after, i assumed those commercials that said "this is how it feels to chew five gum" were referencing the exact experience of this singular viscous smoothie.
what's worse is that we knew our mother would hate that we wasted so much vanilla extract. so we had to make it worth it. we had to actually finish the drink. it wasn't "wasting" it if we actually drank it, right? we huddled around outside in the blistering sun, gagging and passing around a single green potion, shivering with disgust. each sip was transcendent, but in a sort of non-euclidean way. i think this is where i lost my binary gender. it eroded certain parts of me in an acidic gut ecology collapse.
here's the thing about love and trust: the next day my brother made a different shake, and i drank it without complaint. it's been like 15 years. he's now a genuinely skilled cook. sometimes one of the three of us will fuck up in the kitchen or find something horrible or make a terrible smoothie mistake and then we pass it to each other, single potion bottle, and we say try it it's delicious. it always smells disgusting. and then, cerimonious, we drink it together. because that's what family does.
#this is true#writeblr#warm up#relatedly for some reason one of our Favorite Jokes#amongst the Siblings#is like - ''this is so good u will love it''#while we are reacting to something we OBVIOUSLY find viscerally disgusting#like we will be actively retching and be like ''nooooo it's so good''#to the point that i sometimes get nervous if someone outside my family is like oh u should try it its good#(obvi we never force each other to eat anything. we are all just curious birds and#like. we're GONNA try the new thing.)#edit to answer why we had so much vanilla:#my mom is a very good cook and we LOVE to bake. so she just had a lot of staples in the house.#it's one of those things that's like. have u ever continuously thought ''ah i should get butter im probably out''#even tho u are not out of butter. so u end up with like 5 years of butter.#my mom would do that in a costco but like with vanilla extract#to be fair we WERE always using WAY TOO MUCH bc we were kids#so like she was right to stock up#ps. yes we were VERY sick after this lol i just didn't want to include it in the post in case ppl had an ick about that#u can tell it's real bc we knew "oh no we fucked up that's too much vanilla to waste'' but our reaction was to just. keep drinking it#> sibling understanding that vanilla extract isn't free > knowledge mother doesnt mind if we use it for milkshakes#> sibling choice to maybe get in a loophole of ''not wasting it'' if we drink it bc that's the same as using it (not throwing it out)#listen bud i was like 13 and my sister was like 9#when my mom discovered this we. got in. A LOT. of trouble. a lot of it. a LOT of it.#3rd edit bc i guess it isn't clear - i am 1 of my brother's 2 little sisters#i am the middle child#out of all the ways i have had to explain a post before being like ''did u forget a middle child can happen'' is my favorite

Can you share some Kristen angst headcanons? (I know you have them)
anon. i will literally kiss you on the mouth i have. so many
she isn’t used to adults not trusting her. she grew up chosen, she knew the rules and how to follow them so adults just inherently trusted her and took her word as fact. that’s not to say she wasn’t a little shit before the bad kids, she was just used to getting away with shit because no one thought to question her. so moving into mordred where she has none of that clout to back her and is being pretty consistently tailed by sandra lynn would be so fucking jarring. people calling her bullshit when she’s used to getting away with anything had to be a total fucking nightmare for her cuz like. new rules, new dynamics, she isn’t inherently trusted anymore and she has no clue how to navigate that
the applebees had to be just... so emotionally repressed. i believe that they are a no crying family, she's the only girl of three boys but the same rules had to apply and i think thats why she is so kind of like... emotionally erratic especially in sophmore year, just because you spend that long holding everything in and plastering a smile on it, you get a little weird.
kristen has no sense of self preservation. she spent her whole young life being protected by helio so like, she makes dumb moves and gets hurt a lot, not because she is dumb but because she is isn't used to her actions having harsh consequences. she jumped off the top of the building with nothing but a ribbon because she genuinely thought it would work, she thought some divine intervention would save her, and when it didn't? she got hurt. and she keeps getting hurt because she was raised to believe that she was more or less invincible and shes just not.
feels immense guilt over how good she was at being helioc and how easy it was for her to be prejudiced. unlearning 14 years of fucked up, racist rhetoric has to be just so hard and i think its probably hard feeling stupid for not knowing things that everyone else does. and she has these thoughts of like, missing how good she was at being helioc, how easy it all was, so she hates herself for missing that part of herself but its just so hard to be reformed.
i see a lot of comparison between her and adaine in like. the shitty parents club but i honestly think she’s almost more comparable to fabian in having parents who love her so dearly but like. only the idea of who she represents not the actual person who she is. this is also, kinda rough but i do believe the applebees believed in corporal punishment but i think that fabian and kristen are both pretty staunch in believing that it wasnt that bad, which the bad kids probably hate.
i have more. im deranged about kristen.

Hello! For the "Get to Know Me" (Witch Edition): 🔮,📿, 🙏🏼, and 🐉?
Thank you so much for the ask! This got long so I'm putting it under a cut. For the people who see this, here's the questions I answer: Favorite form of divination, Describe your altar, What puts you in a spiritual mood, What are your thoughts on cryptids/magical animals.
🔮 favorite form of divination?
-I actually don't practice much divination, but I am currently learning tarot. There are also sacred symbols I ask my deities to send me, and they tend to show up when I'm worrying about something or feeling insecure. I guess the closest thing I have to a consistent divination practice is praying at my altars and listening to what my deities say.
📿 describe your altar
-I have two! My main altar is dedicated to Hekate, it's where I spend most of my time praying and meditating, it's in my bedroom. While I love the way this altar looks Hekate doesn't want me taking pictures of it or even describing it. But I can show you my big altar which is in my kitchen, it's dedicated to the Olympians. This is an old photo but everything on it is the same.
Tumblr media
Here's a breakdown for my setup: everyone except Hestia gets an olive oil lamp as a focus/offering. Hestia gets a big beeswax candle since traditionally she would have been given the largest portion of an offering. The jar on the top left holds my homemade incense, and the jar on the top right near the Buddha statue is where I burn the incense.
I'm slowly collecting unique dishes for all of the gods so the significance of the dish choice will be listed from top to bottom, then left to right:
Hera: A gold colored dish since she is usually described as being "gold shod" and when she has appeared to me she is dressed in long flowing gold robes, very regal of her.
Zeus: A blue dish with a gold rim, the blue represents the sky and the gold represents his position as King of the Gods and also his marriage to Hera.
Apollo and Artemis: Two brass colored reused jar lids to represent them as twins.
Hermes: A reused jar lid with a yellow and red paisley design. Hermes is the god of merchants and travellers so the non-Greek pattern is supposed to represent that. I also usually see Hermes wearing yellow, idk why.
Poseidon: A conch shell shaped dish, the conch has always looked "masculine" to me. It also references how his son, Triton, carries a conch shell horn.
Aphrodite: A scallop shell shaped dish, in reference to Sandro Botticelli's famous painting "The Birth of Venus" which is a favorite painting of mine.
Ares: A red reused jar lid, I associate Ares with the color red as red (to me) is the color of passion and quick action.
Hephaestus: A mini cast iron pan, as a reference to him being Lord of the Forge.
Hades: A black dish with a gold streak inside, the black color represents his dominion over the Underworld and the gold represents his domain of Wealth, as riches like gold and precious stones come from underground.
Persephone: A pink dish to represent her as the Goddess of Spring, I like how it has a similar shape to Hades's dish to represent their marriage.
Demeter: A white dish with a cherry blossom on the inside. While Demeter is mainly associated with grain, I associate her with fruits, especially dried fruits, as they have a long shelf life and can sustain you during the winter while nothing grows.
Dionysus: A shot glass that has the "parental advisory: explicit content" label seen on musical albums, representing his domain over wine & ecstasy.
Athena: A clear glass saucer, to represent clarity of mind, as she is the goddess of wisdom, strategy, and artisans.
🙏🏼 what puts you in a spiritual mood?
-Meditating, dancing, and doing anything crafty that relates to my practice. I make bread dedicated to Hestia and I make candles which I use in spells or on my altars. Last year I learned to make wine so I can make devotional wine for offerings, and it tastes pretty good too. Recently I have been making my own incense as well, one of the incenses I make is called Kyphi; It's a traditional temple incense made by the ancient Greeks, but was first created by ancient Egyptians. I am going to make a post about my process once I get a little better at making it!
🐉 what are your thoughts on cryptids/magical animals?
-I think that they're real but not in a physical sense; I think the creatures that are described in myths are spirits that people encountered in the ancient world. I do believe that ancient peoples were more spiritually attuned than people today, just because we live busier lives than the average person from 500 years ago did. When you have more time on your hands you notice more things about the world.
Also, in ancient times people didn't have glasses so it's possible someone with bad eyesight saw a deer and went "That's a unicorn."
