This commission was for the lovely pair that is @ravenbara and @pom-seedss . I’m so lucky to do a painting for such a sweet couple

okay so

chikori’s shorter than me, because i thought it would be funny. tiny puffball of anger and stoicism except she doesn’t really get angry but it’s still funny to imagine. she’d be like, idk, 5′2? 5′0? I don’t remember. [I’m 5′6]

Nanna is small too but i can’t remember if she was gonna be shorter or taller than chikori T B H . i don’t think i ever thought about it. i think she’s about the same size, maybe an inch or two taller but looks smaller bc she’s lithe and small-frame majin and chikori is maybe stocky muscle saiyan? i don’t even know if stocky is the right word but its not like she’s bulky....but then you have them stand back to back and even without nanna’s majin “hair” she is still like a tiny bit taller

Fallafal is prob average human male height? idk man he’s like. lower quarter of six-something. 6′0-6′4 idfk. this also makes it funny that he has a crush on the smol anger bc he’s impressed by them.

Mulla is uhhhhh TOL to nanna’s SMOL. she’s taller than fallafal, so like. maybe 6′5?

Kian is probably around Mulla’s height, maybe an inch shorter than her, but he’s still taller than Fallafal

Hello friend! :D Here’s your reading:

(Image description: Two cards, The Devil and The Wheel of Fortune, next to the Genderqueer Flag and Trans Flag)

On the left, we have the Modern Witch Tarot’s card - The Devil. This card depicts a devilish looking figure sitting on a pedestal with two people with horns in chains below them. 

On the right, we have the Numinous Tarot’s card - The Wheel of Fortune. This card depicts a wheel with foliage that changes depending on what “season” it is. Each corner is a different season with a different symbol of the four suits: vials, bells, candles, and tomes. 

The Devil is often about being intoxicated with desires to the point where it is unhealthy. But combined with the Wheel of Fortune - which is about cycles -  I think this is speaking to moderation and allowing oneself to go through cycles. Basically, it’s okay to be led “astray” every so often. Sometimes it’s the season to wander away from our “purpose” -- whatever that may be. 

I get a sense there is something in your life that is being pointed at as being “devilish”, as in it’s unhealthy, unhelpful, etc. But you know that it has its place. Anything in excess can be a problem, but if it’s the time of year for it, then it’s fine. I’m thinking in particular about how this time of year can be very materialistic, but with heart and thought that “materialism” can be better than basic materialism -- if that makes sense? But this could refer to many things that have a time to do and a time to not do. 

So basically... You aren’t giving into The Devil by receiving many gifts or eating so much pie or doing whatever it is in excess as long as it isn’t constant. There are times to be excessive! Just be aware of where you are in the cycle.

This is Momo, she is the first pet that has been mine and mine only, she is a hormonal brat but I adore her and she will calm down and be good when I feel crap.

This lump is Harry, my cat. He is a dork and not super bright for a cat but a great companion regardless.

This is Zodi, my little plucking bird. She is the beeeest snuggle buddy with me but will try and tear anyone else to pieces if she doesn’t want to touch them (which is most of the time)

Those three are my kids aaaand….

This is Sophie, my roommate’s dog who is newly a tripod pup. She is a total sweetheart and loves everyone and everything.

Maxine is Sophie’s sister and with Sophie’s recent surgery and recovery Max has been her guardian and protector.

There is also a Scout who belongs to my roommate’s daughter who is living with us for a bit. Scout is a such a lovable dork. Makes Harry look brilliant and it is a contest to see if Scout or Harry has a shorter memory…. But Scout is a love and will happily cuddle anyone.

And last but not least….

The elusive Lucy-fur kitty! She is Scout’s sister and gets along great with all the dogs… Just not Harry. The two cats have yet to figure out a balance but have come a long ways in just a couple of months!.

That is our pack/flock! Hope they can bring a smile to your face!

Thank you so much for sharing!! They all look so sweet, having such a houseful of pets is such a dream tbh. I wish Sophie a swift recovery from her surgery, and by the sounds of it I have a lot in common with Harry - we have the same name and we both have terrible memories lmao

I like to smoke cleanse with incense. Or with crystals. I sometimes just scatter a couple in a place with bad energy. Or mustard seed if there are spirits about.

I tried a shufflemancy reading first, but what came up was Palisade Bank by Michael McCann which is an instrumental track from the Deus Ex soundtrack. I’m mentioning it anyway in case it has any meaning for you when you listen to it. 

Here is the bibliomancy reading: “Why is the measure of love loss?It hasn’t rained for three months. The trees are prospecting underground, sending reserves of roots into the dry ground, roots like razors to open any artery water-fat.The grapes have withered on the vine. What should be plump and firm, resisting the touch to give itself in the mouth, is spongy and blistered. Not this year the pleasure of rolling blue grapes between finger and thumb juicing my palm with musk. Even the wasps this year. It was not always so. I am thinking of a certain September: Wood pigeon Red Admiral Yellow Harvest Orange Night. You said, ‘I love you.’ Why is it that the most unoriginal thing we can say to one another is still the thing we long to hear? ‘I love you’ is always a quotation. You did not say it first and neither did I, yet when you say it and when I say it we speak like wildspeople who have found three words and worship them. I did worship them but now I am alone on a rock hewn out of my own body.”

“Written on the Body” by Jeanette Winterson, p10.
