She doesn’t take your bullshit. If you’re procrastinating, or putting off doing something important because you just don’t wanna, Hera will make sure you do it.
She’s very motherly. She likes to fuss over her worshippers, and make sure that they’re safe, warm, comfortable, etc. Today, I had a ritual bath for her, and while I was meditating I kept getting the urge to get out. Turns out she was worried that I was going to overheat in the very warm bath, which was so lovely of her.
She’s incredibly protective of her devotees. If you’re dedicated to Hera, she will fight for you, tooth and nail. When I had an issue recently with a spirit, her and Set (another deity I worship) stopped the spirit immediately. She’s extremely loyal, but only if you pay her the respect she deserves (which heads up, is a hell of a lot. She’s the Queen of the Gods, and she knows how she should be treated).
She’s extremely powerful. Hera walked right through the wards I had put up around my astral house. She may be written off as not very powerful, but she is Queen. Of. The. Gods. She has power and she knows how to use it.
She’s nothing like the myths. Hera is not angry, or vengeful. She delivers the due justice that people deserve. If you disrespect her, you will feel her wrath. But if you’re kind, and respectful, and treat her well, you’ll have no problem.
She’ll want you to get married. Boy, I should have seen this one coming. But Hera wants you to get married and start a family.
If she doesn’t like your partner, that could be an issue. Luckily, Hera likes my current partner. However if Hera doesn’t like your current partner if you have one, you may need to reconsider working with her, or look at your relationship. She wants what’s best for you, but you might not always agree on what that is.
Her and Zeus are close. In fact, when I work with Hera, I can often feel Zeus along for the ride as well.
Offerings offerings offerings! As I’ve said, Hera knows what she deserves, and she’s reminded of this at times when I’ve forgotten to give her adequate offerings. One thing I’ve found is that she’s a big fan of devotional acts as opposed to offerings, which is when you do an activity and dedicate to a god or goddess. For example, yesterday I played a board game with my family, for Hera, and today I had a ritual bath for her. As someone who is broke and a closeted witch, I can’t really give loads of offerings, but devotional acts seem to make her just as happy.
Dedicate some time to her. Leading on from my first point, spend some time with Hera for the gods’ sake. She wants to know you’re devoted to worshipping her. She’s not the type of goddess you can just pray to once and expect her to be raining down blessings on you left right and center.
The myth with Hephaestus paints an ugly picture, but as a person with disabilities, Hera has been nothing but understanding. I have severe mental health issues, including severe PTSD and psychosis, and this can make my worship difficult when there are days I can barely feed myself. However Hera has been lovely and so comforting during rough times, coming to me in dreams and when I’m meditating, and even just feeling her presence now feels me with a warmth that comes with motherly love. In short, Hera is a wonderful goddess, and I highly recommend reaching out to her if you have a calling to!
They had a long day on the sparring mats.
Bonus:
The slang out of Kamino is getting wilder.
FINALLY someone said it!
(probably not the first one but ya get the point)
Shipping a character with Anakin doesn't make the ship abusive or toxic. That is not the fucking default. -_-
My solution for bloatware is this: by law you should hire in every programming team someone who is Like, A Guy who has a crappy laptop with 4GB and an integrated graphics card, no scratch that, 2 GB of RAM, and a rural internet connection. And every time someone in your team proposes to add shit like NPCs with visible pores or ray tracing or all the bloatware that Windows, Adobe, etc. are doing now, they have to come back and try your project in the Guy's laptop and answer to him. He is allowed to insult you and humilliate you if it doesn't work in his laptop, and you should by law apologize and optimize it for him. If you try to put any kind of DRM or permanent internet connection, he is legally allowed to shoot you.
With about 5 or 10 years of that, we will fix the world.
Like you I am a fem anakin appreciator, but you cannot convince me she would be so yassified. She’s gorgeous and feminine but you cannot convince me she’d be wearing makeup and have her hair down and luscious every single day. She would be a messy bun every day kinda gal (but the messy bun looks so intentional and beautiful, not legit messy)
Appreciator is an understatement, my dear anon. More like straight up fanatic. XD
And do not you worry. I detest yassification, and I 100% agree with you!
She grew up a slave turned monk in canon. And in my modern aus, grew up poor in a desert town working her ass off to support her single mother.
I cannot see anakin (canon or modern au) wearing makeup or having any type of routine besides the essentials of wash face, brush teeth, and...? And even then that's iffy. Especially when busy with a mission or project or what have you.
She wouldn't even remember to brush her hair unless someone reminder her. That or she was worried her curls would become a matted untamed mess lol.
She, just like her cis male counterpart, is just naturally gorgeous. And effortlessly so. And it would infuriate everyone around her who puts so much time into looking even half as good as she does on a bad day.
And fuck yeah! Messy hair/bun anakin for the win!!!
She love long hair and has no idea what to do with it, so up it goes into the messiness of an updo.
Only effort she ever puts forth (depending on au) is for the occasional date night or gala type event she is forced to attend and told to look decent for.
Tho, friendship with padme would def allow her to explore more 'feminine' things like fancy clothes and makeup.
(I wish I could portray this in the app I use for editing. But alas, I can not 😔. The default is makeup, and the updo options are atrocious)
💬 Just a Small Update, and a Big Thank You
Dear friends, kind hearts, and everyone who has stood with us,
When I first opened my heart to the world and shared our story, I never imagined the amount of love and solidarity we would receive. Thanks to your incredible support, we’ve now reached $12,837—a milestone that brings real light to some very dark days.
From the deepest corners of my heart, thank you.
As many of you know, I’ve lost 25 of my loved ones during this devastating war. That grief lives with me every single day. It’s in the silence that once held laughter, in the empty spaces where we once gathered as a family.
But through your help, I’ve also felt something else: hope. And that hope is priceless.
“21/Oct/2023 Before It Reached Us: The Day Our Neighbor’s House Was Destroyed” A quiet moment of fear, filmed just before everything changed.
“22/Oct/2023 The Morning After: Our Family Home in Ruins” This is what was left behind after the bombing of our home.
Despite everything, we’re still here. Still surviving. Still hoping.
But things have only gotten harder.
The war has returned, more brutal than before—and for over a month now, Gaza has been completely sealed off. No food is coming in. No medical supplies. No aid. No trade. No one is allowed to leave, and no one is allowed to enter.
We’re trapped.
🏚 We live with the fear of tomorrow, every single day. Airstrikes, drones, and the uncertainty of what might happen next. 👨👩👧 Our family is forever changed—we haven’t just lost people; we’ve lost pieces of ourselves. 📉 Basic needs go unmet—even clean water feels like a luxury now. Medicines, if they exist at all, are unreachable.
And yet…
Your support reminds us that we’re not forgotten. It reminds us that someone, somewhere, is still listening. That someone still cares. That we’re not completely alone in this.
Every message. Every share. Every dollar. It tells us: You’re walking this road with us. And that gives us the strength to keep going.
If you’ve already donated—thank you beyond words. If you can share our story again, it could reach someone who can help.
Even $5 means warmth, comfort, and a chance to breathe a little easier.
This isn’t just about reaching a fundraising goal. It’s about surviving war with dignity. It’s about believing in tomorrow. It’s about making sure my daughter grows up knowing that the world did not look away.
Thank you for your kindness, patience, and belief in our humanity. You’ve helped me find my voice—and I will use it to keep hope alive.
There’s something I need to say—something that’s been on my heart for some time.
When I first began sharing our story, I didn’t know what the right way was. I was scared, grieving, and trying to protect my family in any way I could. I reached out to many people, hoping someone, anyone, would see us. In that process, I now realize I may have overstepped, and I might have made some feel overwhelmed.
If that happened, I am truly sorry.
Please believe me when I say it was never out of disregard or pushiness. It came from a place of fear—fear of being forgotten, fear of not being able to keep my family safe, fear of watching everything I love slip away in silence.
I’m learning as I go. I’ve slowed down. I’m more mindful now, trying to share our journey in a way that feels respectful of the space and hearts of those listening.
If my words ever came at the wrong time, or in the wrong way, I hope you can understand where they came from—and I hope you can forgive me.
Thank you for seeing past my mistakes. Thank you for still being here. It means more than I can ever explain.
With love and endless gratitude, Mosab and family ♥️
