This Website’s Easy Watch. *dangles A Bunch Of Greek Gods Like Keys*

HOLY shit the amount of AI slop on pinterest has made it fucking unusable. I keep trying to fight it by hiding ever AI generated image I see but that means half (or more) of the search results get hidden and I'm left with only a handful of human-made images. Everything seems fine for me when I use it normally, but the second I go looking for inspiration for characters or a world I'm building...

I mean why? Why??? I think the most offensive ones are the ones labelled as "inspiration." There is nothing inspiring about an image created with almost no human input, no artistry, no passion - what part of that is supposed to inspire me? It is nothing but a delusion to think you're being helpful by flooding the internet with this garbage, no matter your intentions.

It's getting to a point where I'm struggling to tell what's AI and what isn't, which has not only become a massive nuisance very quickly, but has also quite frankly wounded my pride. I'm just trying to build a board of reference images and inspiration for my fantasy world, I don't want to be doing mental gymnastics with every single image I come across and that looks like what I'm after; there's lots of detail in the background, but those patterns don't line up and everything has a suspicious blur while simultaneously being very sharp, is it an artistic choice or just AI being AI?

I know it's basically unavoidable at this point, but that doesn't mean I have to accept that. I want photographs taken and art made by humans! I want architecture photos and illustrations of what that same placemight have looked like 500 years ago! I refuse to kowtow to the assholes who make the internet an unsafe place for artists like myself, who carry on despite the knowledge that our art (drawings, writing, photography, etc.) is probably being stolen and stuffed into a digital machine that demands more and more of our blood, sweat and tears just to eventually replace us.

The next time you stumble onto an AI generated image and think "hey, that's not so bad, it's kinda pretty actually," remember that that image could not have been created without a hundered pieces of stolen art and a hundered human artists left in its wake.

Adopt Open - The Powder Twins

✦ • ---✦--- • ✦

Lyla

You go to sleep exhausted after drawing until 3am. You have a coffee date tomorrow but the creativity was too much and you had to finish. You worry about the bags under your eyes in the morning but what's done is done. Falling asleep you see a sunny glow and a gentle warmth as you fall asleep.

In the morning you go into the bathroom and are shocked. Your eyes are perfectly normal, no bags under your eyes! Your smiling face brings joy to the powder twin outside your window, Lyla, with her glowing hair and glowing smile jumps away to the next sleep deprived artist.

✦ • ---✦--- • ✦

Nox

As a sensible University student you always go to bed prim and proper. While your roommate may stay up until 3am drawing you always go to sleep at 11pm. Somehow you are still the one with bags under your eyes in the morning.

You groggily make your way out of your bedroom when you nearly slip on what appears to be an eyeliner pen with the words "Bagz 4 Dayz" on its side. You open it up and are shocked to see the nib doesn't produce eyeliner but something closer to eyeshadow when swiped on your hand. You are even more shocked when no amount of water and soap will remove the mark.

Enraged you go to your roommate after throwing the mysterious pen on your floor, convinced she's used some type of permanent marker to give you bags under your eyes.

When you go back into your room to show her the pen is gone, the window cracked and a sinister snicker can be heard flying away on the wind.

Raven’s Guide to Baneful Magic

Baneful magic is magic intended to do harm. So to all the Wiccans, sorry, this one isn’t for you.

Now that I have all you spiteful mad-at-the-world types, let’s begin.

There are generally 4 levels of baneful magic. Jinxes, Hexes, Bindings, and Curses.

A jinx is a small spell to bring bad luck. It could be as little as flipping someone off with intent and they stub their toe. This kind is mostly annoying and pretty harmless to everything except toes and the odd finger pinched in a door.

Hexes are the next step up and it’s not a small step. The best way to describe them would be short term and weak curses. This would take a small spell. The consequences could be anything from being forgetful to anxiety to coming down with a small cold. These are meant to ruin someones day or maybe a week.

A binding is a bigger spell. It’s the black sheep(pun intended) of baneful magic because a lot of witches who won’t use baneful will still bind. It does what it sounds like, it stops someone/thing from doing something(normally harmful). These spells normally have an end condition ie (this person will never find love until they atone for X). These can be pretty bad for the person being bound, but having an end condition makes them more constructive.

Curses. These are the heavy hitters. I wouldn’t curse anyone unless I wanted to wreck their shit. Curses take a major spell(most of the ones you see on Tumblr would actually fall under hexes or bindings). The effects can be ruining a relationship and all ones after, wrecking a career, destroying a friendship, major illness, etc…

For curses, I don’t believe in the rule of 3(I’m not wiccan). But I would still protect myself to the gills before attempting one. Major magical workings move a lot of energy, and things can notice that. Also, a bit of stray energy latching onto you during the spell and you’ll quickly find you hexed yourself by mistake.

“What would I use for a curse?”

Well, specifics would come with what you wanted to accomplish and what you have around, but I can give you very general things.

Anything black will probably be good for baneful magic

Unpleasant things

Certain spirits can help you(not recommended for beginners do not sell your soul to curse your ex)

Salt

Graveyard Dirt(again not a beginner thing)

Poppets are fun! evil cackle

Spicy things, the hotter the better

Things that smell like the garbage after a week(do not use actual garbage it’s a health hazard)

You’re going to need a Taglock

Nails

Fire(don’t burn yourself or your house)

Pretty much anything nasty

Anything poisonous(DON’T POISON ANYTHING OR ANYONE)

There is a very short list that should give you an idea. Each spell would be pretty customized to what you wanted it to do.

And there you have it, a crash course in baneful magic. Do what you will, but don’t be stupid. This isn’t a game and if you want to curse your ex I would suggest leaving off for a few months before you actually do it.

And finally…

NEVER CAST A SPELL YOU CAN’T UNDO!!!

A family of cheetahs sleep with the forest guard every night. When the Forest Dept. heard about it, they decided to check the veracity of the claim by installing a CCTV camera. This is what the camera recorded! Just amazing.

hello everyone! this is a blog inspired by @/pluralhelp, but exclusively for tulpagenic & willogenic related questions

i want to help you with your tulpamancy path!

important notes:

[pt: important notes]

- this is based on my personal experience of many many years. i know a lot, but feel free to rethink my words

- i can't/won't link any resources probably because i simply forgot where to find them. i fell out of the community years ago, and now i'm returning because i see how many new active users are here for this. other followers are very welcome to leave useful links in comments or reblogs

- no, it's not a closed practice

- the only DNI is anti endo. others? as long as you're respectful, you're welcome. please be nice

- i can take some time with answering because i have a job, and getting my second degree meanwhile

- asks with heavy typing quirks without translation will be deleted. i can't understand most of quirks

about me:

[pt: about me]

- collectively we can be called cube! collective pronouns are she/her

- bodily adult

- i use i/we interchangeably, also refer to my headmates as "aspects"

- i am also traumagenic; i have a tulpa, and then i started creating willomates (i personally see difference between those practices)

- english isn't my first language. if i make mistakes, that's okay (i'm learning to be kinder to myself haha). if my mistakes confuse you, feel free to politely ask what i meant (i can struggle with translations)
