I'm so tired of media portraying necromancers as evil emo/goth looking dudes that only wants to bring back people for a nefarious reason.

I really want to see a bubbly ray of sunshine that is always happy. Off putting joyous and easy going, friends with all kids in the village and always playing and encouraging pranks. If something goes wrong they brush it off as just an oops moment. Even when the harmless tree climbing game has a horrendous end.

The broken neck, the crying, the angst of the first encounter dead, nothing of this shake their smile. What do you mean he is gone? It's just a minor wound, using some of his magic and they will be as good as new! Even if the unnatural magic just chain the soul back to a nature bounded body. Even when no heartbeat is listed or warm is felt. Thus sending back to its mother a creature that will root in her arms.

But for them, the necromancer, if this moves it is still in friend shape.

seductive fallen angel x shy human?

Ooo this is a great dynamic. A is the fallen angel and B is the human. Let me know if you want more.

Seductive Fallen Angel x Shy Human Prompts

Prompts

B has had no luck with dating, so A claims that it’s their purpose to get B a partner and they teach B how to flirt.

Now that A is on earth, they’re partying and enjoying all of life’s luxuries. But wherever they go, they catch glimpses of B: reading at a bus stop, carrying a comically large plant in a tiny bag, mixing three different sugars into their coffee. A becomes enamoured with B and sets out to find who they are.

A lost all their angel abilities when they fell, but doesn’t have the heart to tell B that so they learn slight-of-hand magic tricks.

Oneliners

“Did it hurt when I fell from heaven?” “That’s . . . that’s not how that line works”

“I’m just trying to give you a taste of heaven”

“You’re always trying to get me to live large and seize the day, but have you ever tried slowing down and just savouring the moment?”

“When I fell, I lost my purpose. But since I found you, it’s like I found it again”

“Did . . . did you just call me ‘angel’? As like a pet name?”

i think that the love we lost always come back to us eventually.

yesterday i went to visit my grandparents. they live in a minuscule town and for the first time in years there was a country fair. the inhabitants are all old people in retirement, so obviously all of them were super excited.

i invited my two flat mates whom i'm very friend with. my grandparents were a bit worried we'd get bored, but we had a great time. they welcomed us in their house, asked if we wanted some tea, my grandma was a seamstress so she made little pouches to gift to the participants, and she gave three to us. she invited us for lunch another day, and my grandad gave us a lift to the station and waited for the train to arrive. they were very lovely and cute.

one of my flatmates lost all of her grandparents and she said she almost cried when my grandma gave her the gift. that made me genuinely smile and filled my heart with warm joy. that the affection and the love and the "have you eaten well?" and the smell of a cake and the handmade gifts and the kisses on the cheeks she thought she lost forever came back, even for a single day.

love always finds a way to come back.

Hello, would you be able to post tips on how to start a pirate au? This is my first time making one.

【 Hi! My tip for any au (or any story, really) is simply research. It’s important to understand the dynamics and realism. So I put together some pirate knowledge for you! I’ll probably make more posts on this soon. I’m thinking pirate terms, ship terms, common weapons, things like that. If you’d be interested, let me know. Hope this helps, and good luck on your story (: 】

The Pirate Life

warnings: violence

↳ Drinks

⇝ portable drinking water was hard to come by so many ships carried an abundance of wine, beer, and rum

⇝ a famous mariner drink is grog (sugar-water, lime juice, and rum) which was known to prevent scurvy

⇝ another is bombo/bumboo (sugar-water, nutmeg, and rum) or rumfustian (water, raw eggs, sherry, gin, beer)

↳ Eye Patches

⇝ not only worn because someone lost an eye

⇝ worn to keep one eye adjusted to darkness

⇝ when fighting/raiding below deck they could switch the eye patch instead of waiting for vision to adjust

↳ Flags

⇝ not all pirate flags were black with a skull and crossbones

⇝ most pirate flags were plainly black or red (completely red flags were known as the most aggressive)

⇝ if there were designs, many adorned hourglasses to represent the inevitability of death

↳ Freetime

⇝ when not working, pirates often played cards or dice (although, gambling was against the rules on some ships), sang, danced, partied, etc.

⇝ stopping at ports was a fairly regular occurrence so they could take a break from the harsh sea to sell goods, repair the ship, and of course find women

↳ Life of Crime

⇝ sure, some people became pirates for the life of crime, but the overwhelming majority were simply sailors who abandoned their jobs due to horrendous working conditions

⇝ pirates were treated far better by their captains than navy men

⇝ there were even periods of time where pirating wasn’t illegal — governments would enlist pirates during wartime to plunder enemy ships. these pirates were labeled ‘privateers’ and legally allowed to operate under ‘letters of marque’ which basically made them military contractors

↳ Longevity

⇝ pirate careers were a few years long tops (even the famous blackbeard only lasted two years)

⇝ many were killed or injured especially because medical facilities were practically nonexistent

↳ Positions

⇝ well-run ships had a clear division of labor

⇝ positions included captain, quartermaster, boatswain, carpenter, cooper, gunner, navigator, etc.

⇝ the captain had absolute command during battle and chose where/when to go somewhere

⇝ the quartermaster oversaw ship operations and divided the loot

⇝ pirates were not as chaotic as media portrays — they were actually quite democratic

⇝ but the illusion of being brutal would be beneficial for plundering as the possibility of surrender was increased

⇝ most pirates were illiterate, but there were quite a few who actually came from higher social classes

↳ Raids

⇝ looting gold/silver was much less common than looting supplies (food, drink, candles, navigational tools, repairing equipment, medicine, etc.)

⇝ most pirates didn’t want to kill people — they would steal the goods and leave the crew (or let the crew join them) especially because the bounties weren’t usually worth it

↳ Rules

⇝ most pirate ships took their rules very seriously, with punishments being severe

⇝ common rules were against lying, stealing amongst themselves, fighting on board, gambling, etc.

⇝ walking the plank was not a common punishment (it actually rarely ever happened) — punishments were usually flogging, dunking, tying to the mast, hanging, marooning, or keelhauling

Famous Pirates to Check Out for Motivation: Stede Bonnet, Anne Bonny, Francis Drake, Calico Jack, William Kidd, Henry Morgan, Mary Read, Bartholomew Roberts, Edward Teach (Blackbeard)

The idea that some pagans have that you cannot view a deity as a lover, a close friend, as your child, as your parent, is so funny to me as someone who is both Hindu and pagan

In bhakti, there are different types of Bhava, or feelings. There is Shanta Bhava, where the devotee is peaceful. Dasya Bhava, where one serves the deity wholeheartedly and finds joy and bliss in service. Sakhya Bhava, where the deity is a friend of the devotee. Vatsalya Bhava, where the devotee sees the deity as their child. Madhurya/Kanta Bhava, where the devotee sees the deity as their lover.

And to call these practices "humanization of deities" just feels disrespectful to me. If you don't understand it then that's completely fine. But to disrespect forms of devotion just because you think it's "too weird to be real" is just not okay.
