Behind every writer on AO3 is actually a dragon that hoards kudos, comments and bookmarks.
Today I discovered I am a dragon.
The first pride was a riot, more specifically a riot against police violence. Trans women like Miss Major and other people of colour paved the way for the celebration of pride today. You cannot celebrate your pride this month, or any month if you aren’t also supporting Black Lives Matter and the riots going on against police violence right now. Us white LGBTQ+ need to stand up for our black siblings and their rights, their struggles. We need to amplify their voices and show any support we can. (Edited to add links and make the image clearer)
I’ve been wanting to share this comic ever since I noticed that after the first two weeks of protesting most of social media started “going back to normal” as if there aren’t still people walking out and protesting making sure this movement doesn’t go silent or looked over. I appreciate every single individual that is out in those protests helping and being vocal for this change. Also those continuing to spread word and help out through petitions and donations. I wish y’all to stay safe and well.

I’m having an absolute fucking fit over this?????
No—okay the subversion is great and I love it but he’s still fat!!!!
The punchline wasn’t that he got skinny and ripped and the ex regretted it, it wasn’t even that he got skinny and ripped and started dating his trainer! He’s working out sure and maybe a little more “in shape” but the important thing is he’s fat and happy in the end.
Do you have any idea what seeing this did for a queer fat guy like me??? I’m so happy right now I’m genuinely just stunned.
As a Black witch, it first made me relieved to see so many people in the community band together for Black Lives Matter. Over the past 5 years as a member of the Witchblr community, I have been subjected to numerous acts of racist microaggressions and attacks ranging from slurs being thrown at me, death threats, insults to my cultural practices because they’re different from European witchcraft and folk magic, attempted doxxing, and more because I was outspoken about anti-racist action. And that doesn’t include the many accounts of racism and bigotry that I witnessed secondhand. So seeing the community come together to support BLM made me hopeful that there would be a cultural shift within the community.
But, as time went on, the amount of support for BLM that I saw in the tags slowly began to dwindle as if the movement had some hidden expiration date for allies, as if all the work was done after the mass spells performed on the eclipse.
The work is far from over, witchblr. We still need to protest, sign petitions, donate, and do our part to end police brutality, defund/disband the police and abolish prisons, and address the systemic racism that exists in all facets of society.
To look “locally,” the same problems in our community still exist. And while we alone cannot eradicate racism from the whole of society, we can absolutely prevent its spread on witchblr and in other spiritual/occult communities.
Being an ally means more than posting a black square on your Instagram page or changing your profile picture to “heathens against racism.” Being an ally means actively being anti-racist and doing your part to ensure the community is truly inclusive and safe for people of color.
So, how can we begin to address the problem of racism in the spiritual communities both online and offline? Here are a few tips. I’ve focused largely on how white allies can address racism as it impacts Black practitioners, as I can only speak from my own experience as a Black person. Other people of color of all races are welcome to add onto this.
These points are only the tip of the iceberg. Racism is so deeply embedded in our society that it won’t be removed overnight. But if you want to claim the title of “ally,” you need to join in and continue doing the work. Unlike you, we don’t get to “opt out” of caring for the movement as racism impacts us every single day of our lives. Don’t opt out on us now.

So this is a wierd post to be making but everyone has seen that meme that was circulating, I'm sure, with the jar of dirt from Pirates of the Caribbean.
This one.
And it's used as like a "this is literally witchcraft" meme. I'm not gonna comment on the obsession with using jars for every single spell you cast, different can of worms lol. But people use this idea as like, the gospel of how magic works, and because it popped into my head today I'm going to use the same scene to disagree.
First of all, the idea that anything can be used for anything in magic is just not true. I am a strong proponent of the idea that you can craft spells from anything, but not from everything. In a pinch you can do some decent work with some cinammon and a tea light. That isn't because the ingredients you use are meaningless, though. Even those two very simple things have virtues that can be used to great effect.
That's only part of the point I want to make though. The idea came into my head because someone was watching the film and i was in the room when a later scene was playing. The jar is not special because it is inherently a magic jar, the jar is special because Tia Dalma, the mystic that they consult, gave it to them because she had the foresight to know it would be useful. Davy Jones cannot sense where his heart is so long as it is on land, and the jar of dirt functions as essentially that. The jar of dirt is critical to the plot, and given by an incarnate goddess/mystic archetype, one who we see perform divination.
My point is, how the fuck did people go to make a meme about witchcraft and ignore the very clear lesson about wisdom and foresight guiding actions that will give you the future you want, and instead focus on the fact that there's a jar.
Thank you for coming to my TedTalk
Moving right along to the Outer Senshi, starting with Setsuna Meioh aka Sailor Pluto!
Wanted to have a different silhouette for the Outer Senshi. Something more sophisticated since they aways seemed more powerful to me. And while it’s not exactly the same retro vibes as the Inner Senshi, still has design elements that make them cohesive.
