#especially with holidays

[cryptramesses]

So I can't say much about other practices, which makes sense because I don't practice other practices -- I am a Kemetic Pagan at heart. But with the months moving on and the Nile Seasons changing, I do want to give everyone a gentle reminder.

There's still so much that we don't know and haven't recovered from Kemet. Yes festivals happened, but their dates are not super concrete. There were thousands of holidays and festivals that were held in Kemet, and thus there are thousands of such we can bring into our modern day world. However it would be a stretch to say we have any definitive calendar.

What I'm trying to get at here is when it comes to religious holidays and days of spiritual importance, do what feels right. For me I have an entire Kemetic Calendar mapped out based around the modern day 'Nile Flood' holiday, and from there I have a couple minor and major holidays in my calendar that I feel hold significance to me. The people who live with me agree and say they also feel good about it, and as such this is what we do.

Their placement is based off of what I felt was right, not what the ancients did. I feel like we all, as a community, need to stop hanging onto this concept of 'purity'. I feel as though what sets aside most non-mainstream beliefs is this idea that society evolves and changes over time, and therefore our beliefs follow suit. It is one of the many key factors that make many pagan beliefs so fascinating and powerful. (obviously not all pagan beliefs -- pagan being just a very vague umbrella term that I may define more later down the line)

If a festival or holiday does not feel right to you, it's okay to change it. Now I'm not saying celebrate the spring equinox on the autumn equinox, that defeats the purpose of those holidays, but in most holidays the dates aren't what is important. Moreover don't feel like you have to follow old traditions, make your own. It's okay. You're not a bad practitioner for doing so. Bringing in the old is alright, but the reason that holidays like Christmas and Halloween are so beloved is that they take older traditions into the modern day and reinvent them as well as adding more traditions alongside it. Take some liberties with it, so long as your heart is in the right place then you're doing good.

Just always remember, don't take away others autonomy. Anyways that's all, have a wonderful day everyone, and remember to have fun. Have many blessed festivals!

Not all who wander are lost. Some who wander, however, are extremely, extremely lost.

#note: this is a kitchen in a house of change. they are still on the road w the party #not to say i think that maybe chillin out in one location with some loved ones and planned visits from their friends would fix siffrin #but i am saying that they do seem to hoard random items at every given oppertunity. which is an interesting habit #isat #isat fanart #in stars and time #in stars and time fanart #isat spoilers #sifloop #isat siffrin #isat loop #sloops #lucabyteart #but yeah no i dont actually know that siffrin would wwwant to be . travelling literally forever. given the. well. um #that one QnA answer especially. the immediate deflective joking when asked how long they'd been a traveller. mm. #it's not like they chose this life is the thing. and we know they have a habit of forcing themselves to 'stick to the script' #i really do think they'd be better for some stability. its not like you cant have a house and also go on fun travel holidays also #(if you want my real opinion. why not just move to bambouche to help raise bonnie. but. that's fanfic territory at that point)

Saw 2004 AU where Adam is Australian and Lawrence is British

(Lawrence, more britishly): "He doesn't want us to cut through our chains... He wants us to cut through our feet..."

"Hmm... yeah nahhhh, fuck that mate. Jigsaw can suck my dick, stupid cunt"

#im not Australian but i am british #which is close enough i guess /j #watching leigh and cary wrestle with their accents the whole movie is so funny #especially cary cause half the time he still sounds like a tory who went on holiday to the states for a bit too long #adam faulkner stanheight #adam stanheight #lawrence gordon #saw #saw franchise #saw movies #saw 2004

Ghost visits Soap while they're both on mandated leave for the holidays. He'd like to say that dropping off something for Price was the only reason he made the trip but...that would be a lie.

#i literally made this comic from start to finish in two days #thats the strength of this brainrot #i took a lot of influence from umikochannart if any of you know her #particularly the outlined highlights and the use of screentones #i really liked doing this actually but colouring always tired me out so this isnt setting a precedent for coloured comics in the future #im just #i wanted to do something special #for the holidays #and especially for these two idiots who deserve each other #happy holidays to everyone but especially gay people #ghostsoap #simon ghost riley #john mactavish #john soap mactavish #cod mw2 #giragi art #comic art

Ecto-Implosion 2023

Happy to finally show my piece for the @ecto-implosion!

I was playing Hades a lot when I signed up which left me itching to read a crossover between these guys, and this was the result on my end ^.^

My partner for the event was @half-deadmagicperson and she did an amazing job crafting a story with these characters! The story is up on AO3 and you can read it here: How Danny Broke His Favorite Star Projector. It's an incredible feeling to read something inspired by your art, and more so in this case since Magic put everything I asked for and much more in it! 💚

I'm so happy to have decided to join in another DP event, a big shout-out to everyone who also participated and a huge thank you to the mods for hosting!

#i decided to go with watercolor pencils this time and learned so much in the process #lots of do's and dont's that I'll apply better next time especially in terms of knowing when to stop layering stuff ahajakkajak #the pencil strokes look so pretty irl wish it showed better through the pic #might do a digital version if i have time during the holidays but we'll see lol #ectoimplosion2023 #danny phantom #fic: how danny broke his favorite star projector #dpxhades #small edit bc i forgot the crossover tag lmao

guillermo del toro’s pinocchio is living in MY heart.....

#pinocchio #illustration #cottagecore #del toro pinocchio #its tea times #OBSESSED with this movie but especially the first section where both gepetto and pinocchio are kind of unhinged #pinocchio is like a deranged little creature. instills genuine fear in the heart at first encounter. i lovb him #i bothered my friends into watching with me in theatres #explained so many times......we r watching pinocchio (del toro) ((NOT fruity)) #and Yet.......every single one of them came up at sm point after the movie privately to tell me how pleased they were that #it was Normal and good #for the record i will be subjecting them to marathon of all other 2022 pinocchio incarnations over the holidays #where it will be FREE to witness their resignation in well lit environment #getting to this viewing was like unstoppable force (freak snowstorm) vs immovable object (our dedication to half price movie tuesdays) #with special guest appearance of our city flopping belly up whenever we get 0.5cm of snow cover

There were some... roadblocks and complications when they were baking christmas cookies for the depot agents (what a trainwreck) (how it even got this bad exactly is up to your imagination ;b)

#at first the colors were completely different #I was going to make this with really REALLY muted colors #but I finished and didn't like it at all so u know... saturation and filters #my art #submas #pokemon #pokemon submas #eelektross #chandelure #subway boss emmet #subway boss ingo #I was planning to render I swear #but I get WAY too tired drawing even the most simple backgrounds #so no render<3 (what is even rendering art) #like I just took the term from what I've heard but actually no idea of what it is #oops i guess #also I know it's maybe too early yet to say this butttt #Happy holidays and christmas everyone!! #(especially to the submas fandom because I just really love all the creation and art that comes from the community #like the subway bosses really aren't important or relevant in the games but the fandom gave them so much personality and charm) #whoever might have read this hope you have a fantastic day!!! :D

[realpokemon]

you got any ideas on WHY THE FUCK THERES SO MANY NIDORANS ALL OVER MY TOWN. MOSTLY MALE ONES BUT I CANT GO A DAY WITHOUT SEEING AT LEAST LIKE????? FIVE????? THEYVE BEGUN ENTERING MY HOUSE TOO???? I DONT REALLY MIND BUT STILL???? HELP????

OHHHHH MY GOD. THIS HAPPENS EVERY FUCKING YEAR! on valentines day the demand for little matchy pokémon (like nidoran) goes way up. and so does the rate of their fucking releasals because no one is taught the BASIC ETIQUETTE on taking care of a poison type pokémon.

#pokemon #unreality #pkmn irl #fuck overbreeders and fuck holiday breeders and especially fuck the overlap
