If you’ve been paying attention to what’s been going on in the news, then you know what’s been going on in Palestine. Currently, around 1.7 million people are displaced as a result of Israel’s decision to bomb homes, hospitals, schools and community epicenters. It has been reported that Israel has bombed Gaza more than European countries were bombed in WWII. Now, these families need your help more than ever. Below this, I will insert links that you can donate, share and boost to help these families relocate. Donate $5 at the very least. Thank you in advance. And most importantly, Free Palestine 🖤💚❤️

YALL new chapter dropped about ferid and safe to say: i loved the twist of it not being what I expected it to be. At first i truly thought that rigr manipulated Ferid into seeing him as a father. But this chapter showed us he was not all too affectionate whatsoever. He didn't even remember Ferid's voice so it may be they didn't talk a lot. So meaning, Ferid grew attached and it shows that something so little was enough for him to make a bond with Rigr. It also shows that new role of "father" truly was because of Rigr being a sire. (This is such definitive proof that depending on the vampire, they can in fact view their sites and sired as family).
Imo Kagami really did went with the : son who admires his neglecting father. A few examples:
That disappointment of Rigr definitely set off ferid's perfectionistic tendencies. Either it is so he lives up to a subconscious thought that he is not good enough, kind of proving to himself but also Rigr he's capable of more.
Perhaps ferid wanting to crush Rigr's plans is to show him he is so much more worthy that he can even sabotage his father's plan.
So not only that but also a one sided relationship between son and father can lead to the son developing some serious issues with forming healthy relationships, desensitised to emotional neglect and continuing this neglect.
And we all see these traits in how he treats Crowley: ferid is literally repeating the cycle of his own father. We also see ferid be so cruel perhaps due to the mixing of emotional unawareness but also the normalisation of killing. So when he slaughtered Crowleys friends and family, it was truly just because of the same reason Rigr did: for the victim to be part of their own interest. Crowley being a kimchi for Ferid's power and Ferid being kimchi for Rigr's knowledge about the Micheala Gene.
ot only that but I also noticed: ferid learnt Rigr's more eccentric features. He observed Rigr and has taken on what he saw as his personal cover up. Because before ferid was turned he wasn't so theatrical (?) similar to what we saw Rigr be.
For me ferid came over as a much more determined, cold-blooded yet very deep and philosophical character. So him using what he learnt from Rigr to cover up what he had planned? EIDKWLC STOP 😭
You can do so many analysis points just alone on that: ferid watching Rigr despite being nothing to him, copied him like a son was guided by a father into a new world. But that also leaves Ferid's morality open: why and where did he learn to basically have no standard for moral choices? Apart from letting let down so often, I can also imagine Ferid partly looked as to how ruthless Rigr used Ferid. I can highly imagine ferid understanding that not only is it important to stick to yourself but also be ruthless as to how you achieve this. Ik this is kind of obvious but it is so interesting to see that connection to where ferid may have learned that or even realised that ruthlessness.
And apart from the torture aspect, it sounds so familiar to crowleys torture, having to hunt down a man for 50 years just to realise you are loosing that wrath of revenge.
Ferid literally repeated the cycle. Crowley once said "he doesn't know (father) rigr." LIKE NO YOU DO FERID CARRIES OUT WHAT RIGR MADE TO HIM. In a sense Crowley was raised into vampire hood the same way ferid was.
But this also draws the Conclusion to Ferid/ Crowley and Rigr and what family constellation they had (considering every type of group dynamic is based on a family dynamic or most): Theirs being what happens when you are raised by a neglected father and how that can go on for generations.
This post is already long enough and a word blob so if you did follow somehow, I am so proud of you. AODJEPE anyways I love ferid so much thank you kagami for explaining Ferid but please don't kill him like you did with Krul 🌚
[ Diary Entry #1 ] “The Simplicity of Shifting”
March 11, 2025.
There was an aeon before we were aware of this reality, an aeon before we held on to the assumptions that reflect directly in our three dimensional experience. Everything was a void, a formless void state. The resurgence of reality shifting, entering void state and respawning, has raised valid questions and new understandings of the ontological nature of time and the aeon.
“Is time cyclical? Are we returning to that old aeon? When does it end? How about free will?” Were some of the questions that were racing in my mind in a distant past, how about you? I think it’s important to address them if you have them.
Some of the thoughts are limiting, some of them complex and perplexing but confront them and then decide; will you engage with them or are you choosing to put them in the trash pile? Both are valid, as long as they don’t stay growing at the back of your mind.
After all my pondering, researching my questions and experiencing awareness, I came to a tentative conclusion; eternalism.
The aeonic being exists outside of time, outside of the constructed universe(s). The aeonic being represents our infinite awareness; its label is irrelevant, as its essence remains unchanged.
Because the aeonic being exists outside of the constructed worlds, it is not confined to this or any other world by force but by choice, it can always return to its original state. The formless void.
* This is the reason void state is something you can enter in a second, why you can shift awake or with a blink. These concepts are part of the constructed worlds and not fixed, the aeonic being is above them.
Reality shifting is simple—the rules of any constructed world(s) do not apply to you. A shift is just one decision away. While it’s that easy, I understand if you find it difficult to do just yet. If that’s the case, then the act of pondering and confronting your inner world is helpful. It provides insight, release, self knowledge and intuitive understanding.
Summer signing off…🍋🟩
After shifting to a DR, how do memories within that reality feel or recall to the awareness?
In your DR, you’ll remember your CR as a whole, and how it feels will depend on how different your DR and CR are, whether you used a method or LOA and whether it’s your first time shifting or if you’re more experienced.
First, if you’re in your DR, you’ll always remember your CR as a whole. You’ll recall a few details, but not much more than that.
Remembering your CR might feel strange (especially if you used a method, where you’d expect to be "teleported," while with LOA, the shift happens unexpectedly). In any case, as soon as you’re in your DR, recalling your CR will feel odd. Since you’re not teleporting your body but your consciousness:
In your DR body, feelings will seem normal. You won’t feel out of place—just as if you’ve always been in your DR. However, mentally, you’ll be fully aware of a divide between two very different realities. Sometimes, it might feel like your CR was just a dream, but you’ll realize it was too detailed and long for that.
Right after the "teleportation," if you don’t experience symptoms, you won’t immediately notice anything unusual. Seeing your DR room will seem completely normal. But after a few seconds or minutes, you’ll realize that just moments ago, you weren’t there.
During the first moments in your DR, your mind will still hold onto memories from your CR. Again, this will feel normal, and you won’t specially be surprised. However, some memories from your DR will be present as soon as you arrive, while others will gradually replace or integrate into your mind as you remain in your DR.
The more you progress through the day, interact with people, visit places, and "participate" in your DR—because yes, you could also stay locked in your DR room without interacting with anyone—the more your DR will become familiar. Sometimes, you’ll meet someone in your DR without "recognizing" them at first, but as soon as they speak to you, the memories of them will settle in.
If you have a script or shift into a DR you’ve prepared, like a fictional one, then obviously, you’ll recognize everything. But if you haven’t prepared anything specific, it’ll feel more like I described above.
Gradually, your CR memories will fade in your mind and become less detailed, though you’ll still remember them. Meanwhile, your DR memories will take over. Don’t worry, it doesn’t take long, and it really depends on how much time you spend in your DR, interacting with people, leaving your room, etc.
If you’ve done a mini-shift before, you’ll remember your CR and DR in the same way.
Then, when you return to your CR, you’ll recall your DR like a global memory, and since you already know your CR, you’ll retrieve your memories more quickly. Whether you’re in your DR or returning to your CR, you’ll need time to get your thoughts in order.
Whether you use a method or LOA, you might either realize immediately that you’ve shifted, or discover it later—it depends on how obvious the changes are.
In that case, you’ll just have this feeling that "before," things weren’t like this or that "some time ago," things were different, with a strong sense of certainty.
If you shift multiple times between different realities in a short span of time, you might feel a bit disoriented or experience depersonalization/derealization. But again, this will pass if you immerse yourself in the reality you’re in.
Finally, if you’ve been shifting for several years, realities will just feel like "places" you’ve been to. Even if you change families, appearances, etc. in your DR, it won’t really matter—you’ll view your DRs as if they were just travels to another country. The word "reality" will seem less significant, and for you, it’ll be just another place that adds to your memories.
VOILA!
Once again, this is just based on my own experience.
going to chb must be crazy like imagine sharing a camp with
-one of the strongest demigods ever who's saved the world like at least 3 times, fought multiple gods & titans and WON (and is a tartarus survivor)
-the literal main architect of OLYMPUS who's also saved the world multiple times (also tartarus survivor)
-THE lord of the wild who's also close friends with the first two (and has helped save the world multiple times)
-an emo kid from the 1930s who again helped save the world and is also a tartarus survivor (TWICE)
-a son of apollo who survived tartarus with nothing but cargo shorts and sheer will (pun intended)
-the main designer and builder for the argo II, also the first hephaestus kid to have fire powers since hundreds of years ago (did i mention killed gaea? no? yeah he did that too)
-a girl who somehow charmspeak-ed gaea into falling back asleep (also side note daughter of super famous actor because why not)
-pretty much everybody is a two-time war veteran
-THE GOD APOLLO who just sometimes comes down to visit in the form of a teenage boy
-did i mention dionysus, god of wine madness and theatre
-also chiron, trainer of pretty much every greek hero ever
Kel, if you would please consult the graphs (nerd emoji)
I love pursuit hero

CW: Talk of sexualization of characters in fan spaces
In this post I will be talking about how fan perception of characters can then change or affect an egregore/PCE in both positive and negative ways. This entire post is upg (seeing as it’s pop culture paganism based) but I have found that many other pop culture witches have experienced and noticed this as well.
Let’s start with the positives
With fandom culture, characters who aren’t necessarily fully formed or given much screen time get the chance to become popular and gain fan bases of their own. Take the Mauarders for example. Canonically they have next to no information about them but fandom wise they have entire fan bases that are dedicated and have made them into fully fledged characters.
Like with James potter. Canonically all we know is that he’s Harry potters father, he bullies snape when he was younger, and he likes to play pranks. Now take the fandom James, who is loving and protective and has a strong moral compass but is willing to do what he must to keep the ones he loves safe. He has become a character who is now associated with sunshine and happiness but also helping others and mental health. (If you’re a follower of the “PCEs are just gods in forms that humans like and recognize” theory then he’s like Apollo)
This is a net positive because characters that barely existed in canon lore now have their chance to shine and be loved and worshipped.
Another example of fandom positively affecting PCEs is when they take a character who’s demonized and isolated in canon and give them a happy ending and life. A great example of this is Draco Malfoy. Canonically he’s a kid who gets forced to be a death eater and does end up getting redeemed but with fanon it’s a bit more complicated. He’s more of a complex character that feels a lot of conflicting feelings and has trouble experiencing and expressing love. His egregore is now a being of standing up for yourself, escaping abuse, child abuse, financial aid, and healing from trauma.
This doesn’t mean there aren’t negatives though. The biggest negative is the hypersexualization and fetishizing of characters.
I’m not saying you should stop sexualizing these characters or making smut or nsfw things about them because let’s be real that is a big part of fandom and that isn’t a bad thing.
What I am saying is you have to be aware of this aspect of Pop Culture Entity work when you start interacting with these entities. If you only work with canon entities, then you should be fine. But again, a huge part of fandom culture is sexualizing these fictional characters. The people doing this sexualizing probably aren’t witches and have no idea what egregores are, and it isn’t our place to judge or criticize them. The work that they are making, even if they aren’t doing it on purpose, affects these engregores though.
Take Dabi, for example, he’s an entity I work closely with and canonically he has absolutely nothing to do with sex, sexuality, and/or lust. But in the fandom space, it’s very common for people to simp for him and give their energy in a sexual way. This in turn makes Dabi into a sexual being.
It’s a “trend” to worship/work with PCEs because you want to have sex with them or because you simp for them. This is a problem because 1. It gives Pop Culture Entity work a bad rep and 2. It leads to even more sexualization of these people. Again it’s not a problem if it’s the fictional that you’re sexualizing but the second it becomes a genuine entity you recognize exists it turns into you fetishizing a genuine being.
To clarify: it is not a bad thing to have sexual feelings for fictional characters or for beings/entities/deities. It becomes a bad thing when the only reason you work with/interact with a being is for sexual reasons without their prior consent and you only are doing it because you liked them as a fictional character. You have to remember that these beings are real and have thoughts feelings emotions and consent.
