Pick a card: What needs to be re-awakened within you?
Tumblr media
[Options include: Pile 1, a peach colored flower with 5 round petals; Pile 2, a light purple flower with 8 thinner petals; Pile 3, a cream colored flower with 5 round, stout petals]
Tumblr media Tumblr media
[Alt. Text: Box with tarot and oracle cards. Tarot cards include: 5 of pentacles in reverse, 7 of swords in reverse, page of cups up right, ace of wands up right. Oracle cards include: Choose Wisely (Be discerning. You don't have to keep everything in your net). Flow (let your worries drift away). Optimism (After each rainstorm, there will be clear skies). Card with stop watch which says: I give me space to breath in this moment and recognize there is beauty in life's pauses. Card with outline of facial features, a swirl in between brows, which says: I stand up for what I believe in]
Pile 1: Channel Your Energy Effectively
Pile 1: Recognize the value you bring to your life - to your work, to your relationships, and to yourself. You'll notice in the top right corner of the Page of Cups that there is a small pig with wings... You don't have to wait until pig fly in order to let yourself breathe. I am guessing that you are a pretty big empath - me too. Empathy can get overwhelming and that does NOT make you a bad person. You cannot be everything to everyone and it is okay to set boundaries on your space. Know that you will always be the advocate that you want to be, even when you require space and time. Stop self-deceiving, too, pile 1. Your mind can be mean so remember to empathize with yourself, too. In addition to re-awakening your knowledge of needing (and deserving) space, you should also re-awaken your inner child! Allow yourself to dream. Allow yourself to create. Trust your inner voice!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
[Alt. Text: Box with tarot and oracle cards. Tarot cards include: 2 of wands reversed, the Hermit, 8 of wands with knoight of swords, and seven of pentacles. Oracle cards include: Stillness (In calm waters, everything becomes clear). The Ocean (be beautiful, mysterious, wild, and free). Card with sunflower which says: I am good enough. Card with two raised hands which says: The universe is filled with endless opportunities for me.]
Pile 2: Re-awaken spontaneity & let go of the fear of the unknown
Hey pile two: Are you having trouble letting go and going with the flow? It happens! It's time to reawaken the belief in yourself. Instead of ruminating on everything, try to get yourself to make swift decisions. This doesn't mean they aren't thought through, it just means the decisions are being made more quickly. Harvesting the ability to make choices will reap long-term results. How do you even start? Believe that you are enough!! Take the time for introspection. That may sound counterintuitive when I just said to make more decisions more quickly, but introspection can bring you answers. Trust your gut, be yourself. Once you start to understand that the universe is filled with possibilities, you'll start to feel them in your soul.

[Alt Text: Box with tarot and oracle cards. Tarot cards include: Queen of pentacles in reverse, two of swords, ace of cups, four of swords. Oracle cards include: Generosity (What good is treasure if you keep it for yourself). Direction (Trust your inner compass and find your bearings). Card with diamond shaped cage with heart inside: I am a loveable person. Card with outline of facial features, a swirl in between brows, which says: I stand up for what I believe in]
Pile 3: Reawaken your focus on self care.
Dear pile 3, you may be having more trouble than usual finding rest and time to heal. But it's not too late to bring this back as a part of your normal routine. You may be hesitating because you feel that you have too much to get done and, if you don't, things will crumble. BUT you can't do your best work if you're exhausted. Taking care of yourself will help you strengthen your self-compassion. It will allow you to regain emotional fulfillment. It will be easier to forgive yourself for your "flaws" and knowing you're doing what you can with what you have. Please know that the fight for what you believe in will still be there after you rest. Others know that you are kind, compassionate, and generous. You are loved and you will be loved even if you step back.

Eddie and Chrissy are the kind of silly teenagers that would adopt a teacup pig without thinking it through (at Chrissy's squealing suggestion) and be shocked but absolutely thrilled when it grew MUCH bigger than they expected... The life of luxury that pig would have? The stuff of dreams.

Is a giant, rocket-powered anime mallet too much, I ask myself?
The answer is no, obviously, because nothing is too much for this character

Laurel looked up from her coffee with a surprised blink. A date? Well, she hadn't intended it to be one, but she couldn't honestly say she didn't like the idea of it either. Which once again surprised her, but she couldn't think of why anyone couldn't develop a crush on the monster. He was just so, well, him. She laughed to herself quietly, waiting to see precisely how Yurei responded to his brother's teasing.
Said monster, but not currently one, was blushing and busying himself with his own cup adding a copious amount of milk to his coffee to where it was more milk than coffee "I Apologize For My Brother. He Thinks He's Funny." Yurei shot his brother a scathing look "I Know Not To Assume A 'Hangout' Is A Date." Ahhh over excited youth, coming back to bite him in the coccyx.

The Wonder of it All
The Wonder of it All
Lots of photos of heaven-sent newborn babies are popping up on my FB newsfeed lately. Isn’t it a wonder how God knits babies together so perfectly in their mother’s womb (Psalm 139:13)? Then they make their debut into this great big world. I was in awe and wonder when mine were placed in my arms. All ten toes and fingers! I counted! Don’t you love the way that babies come into the world with…

Embracing Spontaneity: The Liberating Joy of Unscripted Travel
Have you ever felt the exhilaration of booking a trip purely guided by the factors of cost, bucket list dreams, and availability, rather than adhering to heavily scripted agendas and itineraries? There’s a unique sense of freedom that comes with embracing spontaneity in travel, and it’s a feeling that can elevate your entire adventure. As someone who just booked a two-day trip to Casablanca, I’m…

A skeleton has always been so detached in its shape from the idea of human that I had always perceived it as a foreign entity. I understand logically that it is a human remains as the hardest part of our being it lasts longer than our flesh. I can feel it inside me, can touch the skin where it is closer to the surface, I hear it clack and click sometimes, my teeth are bare for me to see them. Yet still I don’t think I ever really correlated it as something that really used to be part of a human when I saw it. Of course a modern person living in the west to add does not have many chances to see a skeleton in person. We most usually see photos, in films or drawings. I myself had a skeleton one to one sized model in middle school, affectionately called “Kostek” (from Polish “kości” i. e. “bones”) a victim of many of our pranks. Later in high school I would witness depictions of skulls in art history class, Netherland baroque still lifes still reside in my mind. As our teacher would tell us the message of unavoidable death and flowing time to the one experiencing the painting. I would look at them in admiration, the skill and mastery of the artist speaking to me, a youngster in training. But the message of the long dead master would not reach me. The skull, the hourglass were merely interesting objects to study in my eye.
In the first grade of high school I believe, when we were studying human figure our first assignment was the skull. We were to study the bone structure in preparation for a fleshed out human. We would study the shape of bone, the sharpness of the jaw, eyebrows curve, how the back was chiselled. I studied the profile predominantly as that was the perspective from my station I occupied in our drawing and painting classroom during my four year stay. I sketched and observed the angle at which the nose met the forehead, the sad grimace of eye sockets cast in shadow, the wide smile forever frozen in time. And although I knew we were studying it in preparation for the human figure, firstly it would be a gypsum bust and later at last one of my classmates would pose, yet even so it was just an object, a shape, a being of space for me.
Few years back I visited an old chapel, or a shrine perhaps would be a better way to describe it. I believe when I was still in middle school but of that I am not sure nor do I recall where it was. The only thing I remember for sure is that it was a one day trip during a broader vacation. The day was bright with scorching Sun washing everything in a dazzling shine wherever its rays would touch. Put simply, the perfect day to explore old sanctuaries made of a cooling stone. The shrine I think was from times of plague in the 17th century. Its entire interior was made of skulls. Countless human skulls would surround you upon entering. That image is still vivid in my mind. Old polished ecru bone, bright but delicate on the sun fatigued eyes. Unusual but fascinating experience to say the least.
Right now I am listening to “Hurt” by Nine Inch Nails covered by Hildegard von Blingin’. The song is quiet with a sorrowful yet calm tone and of course as it is Hildegard von Blingin’ cover the song and music is rewritten to imitate mediaeval style, lyrics changed in an early modern English manner to still be understood by the modern listener. A truly romantic tune.
The video accompanying the song has lyrics change on the screen along the performer’s singing, written in a lean font reminiscent of an old quill pen writing. Beside them there is a figure in the style of drawings found in mediaeval breviaries. The figure is that of a king in chainmail tunic atop his gown, crown helm placed on his head, red cloak engulfing him, sword held up in his right hand with his left one placed beneath his heart. Truly a picture of a mediaeval king, what have I found so peculiar about that image? Because that is in fact why I started writing all of this in the first place.
Please watch it if you had not already:
https://youtu.be/g4UZRYShjYU?si=kuwHhC5dhMATIrY5
As the video progresses together with the song, the depiction of our king begins to change. At his feet appear human skulls, at first faded they subtly come into view stronger as time passes. One of them holds a tibia in its jaws, another one grins almost mockingly. Upon closer inspection there are changes to our king as well. Traces of blood stain his chainmail tunic, his eyes become clouded falling deeper into their sockets, his nose darkens until it is gone, only a dark hole left behind, skeletal grin overtakes kings stoic demeanour. His helm covered in rime, the hem of his gown torn.
“What have I become?
My sweetest friend”
the lyrics call out once more,
“Everyone I love fades away in the end
And thou couldst have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let thee down
I will make thee hurt”
The skulls surrounding the king fade into the view firmly now as the song nears to the end.
While watching the video I jumped between my open tabs as I usually do when listening to music, a static video like that doesn’t really lose its message when not watched continuously I presumed. I was distracted, I jumped back to the tab open with the cover and as I saw the skull at king's feet and for but a speck of second I saw a person in one of them. It was a brief visualisation but something in me was stirred, I felt somehow sad. It is just a drawing of a skull but like any other skull it used to be a person, alive, breathing, warm. My mind wandered back to the shrine I described earlier, the walls filled with people, warm humans with sorrows and joys, all around me upon my entry. All of their lives bygone and forgotten, even my memories of their bones faded, as preserved as they are. En passant I rapidly searched for any other times I had some type of contact with a skeleton. Each personified suddenly, each an image of a human now lost to time. None of them just inanimate objects of interesting shape anymore.
And that exactly, that overwhelming dread and happiness of passing, humanity in its purest form, pooled behind my eyes, tightening my throat pushed me to write.
That little drawing of a skull with tibia in its jaws and its grinning friend on the opposite side.

spontaneous magic manifestation was NOT mentioned in the parenting handbook 😬
I know this isn’t how magic in dc works, but the fact that Damian’s ancestry includes some pretty powerful magic users is… INTERESTING 🤔? Drabble under the cut!
I wanna preface that I'M NOT SAYIN' that Damian should/does have magic powers, but there’s still so much unexplored potential with Damian's character, and the thought that he has a dormant adeptness in magic is somewhat compelling to me. Most importantly it would FREAK! BRUCE! OUT!!!!! What is this, magic puberty 😭??
By DC laws, anyone has the ability to learn magic, but it is also possible to be an innate ability. The Al Ghuls are no strangers to the occult-- Ra's has had increasingly been portrayed as a magic user, and the recent establishment of his mother being a sorceress/witch?? Even Talia dabbled in a bit of magic, I think. There is a catch that their power is suggested to be due to Lazarus exposure, but for arguments sake let's say the Al Ghul lineage is inherently proficient in magic (and Lazarus exposure simply enhances it).
I can't recall "magic" being a part of Damian's training/upbringing (I'm still slowly catching-up on Damian comics so apologies if I miss any canon examples of magic use). Not sure why Talia wouldn't want her little "heir to an ancient assassin empire baby" to learn magic, but it would at least give reason to Damian not knowing about his magic potential, or lack of interest in it.
Through the power of pseudo storytelling, what if Damian's encounter with Mother Soul could have triggered a manifestation of magic that was once dormant; like a pressure cooker waiting to explode with energy when it hasn't been given a safe outlet.
I've yet to read a satisfying arc where Damian truly gets to contemplate his Al Ghul roots outside of "dad is good guy, mum is bad guy". Damian's initial character growth stems from him running away from, and renouncing his association with the League (i.e. "I'm nothing like you, mother and grandfather!").
The most recent thing I've read was Robin (2021), and whilst Damian is much more cordial with his mother, there's still an emotional distance and sense of distrust/resentment (for good reason, even if the context was some cartoonishly evil writing). But there is a silver-lining that they still appear to be fond of each other, in a melancholy kind of way.
Realizing he's "genetically" primed for magic would be especially confronting to Damian. There's no denying his Al Ghul blood, forcing him to confront a facet of himself he can no longer ignore or reject. A family that he likely has to approach for help/guidance.
Damian is put in a position of acknowledging this power could be used for good, to be stronger, to fight crime, balancing it with the implication that what he possesses could be rooted in dark magic (Lazarus enchantment).
If he decides to embrace it, would that be too much of an endorsement of the Al Ghul's dark occultism? Can he separate the two ideas? What if he can't control it? What if he accidentally hurts someone? What if has the ability to save someone where his other skills fall short?
Ideally, I'd love for this hypothetical story to lead into Damian exploring his Al Ghul heritage more intimately, historically, and spiritually (à la RSoB: Year of Redemption adventures). Another little coming-of-age self discovery journey.
I have my own little personal thoughts on what Damian decides to do with his magic powers, but I'd like to leave that open to interpretation... By the end of it I hope that he will at least find some forgiveness over resentment, and a balance between accepting that side of his family a little easier. It is finally a sense of inner peace :)
Any thoughts? Did I get any characterisation wrong? Let's talk over on my DC blog @arkhamochi! I'm currently trying to read all Damian-centric comics until I catch up with the current run. I'm hungry for discussion and analysis!!!!!!

Warnings: mdni, adult content, p links BEWARE, sex tape, adult movies making
Idea about creating a porn account was very spontaneous. You were a panting spent mess covered in sweat spit and saliva, curling up next to Simon’s side, nuzzling your cheek against his hairy chest. Gazing up at the small screen attached to an old video camera that man was holding in his huge hand, Riley was rewatching the most recent video you two just spent about an hour to record.
Making sex tapes was nothing new for the two of you and, surprisingly, it was Simon’s idea originally, claiming that he needed some good jerk off material for when he’s deployed and web porn disgusted him. The words slipped off your tongue before your freshly fucked-out brain could even register them:
- Why don’t we post it? - you mumbled, words a bit slurred from four orgasms your boyfriend forced upon you. Simon’s brow shoot up, chocolate eyes gazing down at your flushed face inquisitively. - I mean, we’ll blur our faces and beep all the times we used our names. I think people will like our videos.
And to your astonishment Simon agreed. It took you a few hours to figure out what video redactor to use and how it worked, but in the end you got a 20 min tape of you two fucking, shameless moans and grunts coming from laptop speakers, you made sure that video didn’t contain any obvious information about your identities.
After creating an account on PH and twitter you uploaded the video after letting Simon give it some nasty name like “pounding my hot baby until she forgets her own name”, which made you cringe for the next five minutes. Pressing the “post” button you then shut down your laptop, crawling into Simon’s tight embrace and putting on a movie to watch, both of you wondering how many views your video will get.
And fucking yes, did it blow up.
1m views in one week.
Reference links containing porn!!!‼️🚨
Minors go fucking away and never come back‼️
