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.

How it feels scripting in NSFW things in your script

I am so fucking proud of myself

I did it! I really did. I am so proud of myself , because inspite of all my circumstances, I got what I wanted. I did it, IT WAS ALL ME. I put in the work. I disciplined my mind enough to get exactly what I want. I persisted on the fact that I already have it and guesssss whaaattt , IT CONFORMED IN MY 3D AS WELL. I didn't realise how easy it was. @shradsmanifestt was so right. All I had to do was persist in the assumption that it's already mine. That's all there is to it. Once I stopped going back and forth with the old story, that's when it changed. It didn't matter what HAD happened. The past only existed in memories. MY MEMORIES. So when I changed the story, my present had to change. I cannot for the life of me imagine how easy this is. Why did I spend so much time overconsuming information and complicating it to the point where I was literally fed up with everything. No matter what I read or saw, it didn't change the fact that all I had to do was know that it's already mine and that's it. THAT'S IT. There were no shortcuts or sureshot methods, I mean this is the shortcut, This is itttttt. Manifestation is instant, It was mine the minute I decided it was mine. There's nothing more to it. I wasn't affirming and persisting on my desire to make it come to me or to try and get what I want. NOOOOOO. I was affirming to know that it was already mine. And it was. It is! It literally is mine. I don't need to be Sammy Ingram or Rita Kaminski to manifest. I am me and I am enough. I don't need to be spouting I'm a master manifestor for 21 days to manifest something, no! No harm in engaging in a lil self concept, but it ain't necessary, I can just as easily manifest anything I want just like that cause It's already done and it's already mine. I did it, and I'm fucking proud of myself.

XOXO,

shrads ❤️
