My beautiful alter set up

A Magpie Witchling’s 10,000 followers MASSIVE GIVEAWAY

It’s that time of the year again! This is a long post that’s gonna get very reblogged, so I’ll keep it short.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE

Follow me! (duh)

Likes and reblogs count as entries, but they’re limited to FIVE REBLOGS PER DAY. (I WILL check)

You must be at least 18 years old, no exceptions. The prizes can be transferred to minors, however, with the permission of a parent or guardian.

Side blogs are allowed to enter, and there’s no need to tag your main (here’s to you, closeted witches!) but if you end up winning, you’ll have to tell me your main when I contact you to see if you’re following me! GIVEAWAY BLOGS AREN’T ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE.

People who have purchased/purchase my services from my shop (as well as those in the waiting list) have an extra entry as a thank you for your support!

Do NOT tag this as giveaway!

WINNERS

There will be five prizes. Each will be drawn as I hit a new milestone. Fifth place when I reach 6,000 followers, fourth for the 7,000, third for the 8,000, and both the second and first for the 10,000.

The winners will be randomly selected with random.org and contacted via PM, comment, and/or tag, depending on how long they take to respond. If they don’t answer to reclaim their prize within 120 hours (5 days) of being drawn, a new winner will be selected in their place. So please make sure I have a way of contacting you.

For the main two prizes, I’ll need an address I can ship the goodies to. If you can’t/don’t want to receive the package and wish to trade your prize for an intangible one, that’s perfectly doable!

ya know what I want to see more of in the study/bujo community

I want to see more dark photos.

I want to see more photos with diverse, colourful, and interesting backgrounds.

I want to see more notes written in ballpoint

I want to see more of the rushed bujo pages made because you didn’t have time to do it but didn’t want to have that week missing from your journal

I want to see more in-class notes, the notes you took before you re-wrote them to make them “post worthy”

I want to see more messy desks. The aftermatch of journaling and studying

I want to see more wooden desks, more desks that aren’t white, more desks covered in coffee rings and paint splats

I want to see more on the fly photos

And I’m not writing this because I want to support “small accounts” or “poor study accounts” I want to see it because I’m sick of every single post looking the same as the one I saw last. I’m tired of accounts with amazing content not getting the growth they deserve because their photos aren’t overexposed on white desks. I want to see it because it stands out, it’s different, and I like it.

So many accounts quit before they even get started because of the precedent that you have to have expensive stationery and stark white photos to grow and make an impact. Because they don’t feel they can live up to the expectations of the community. And that makes me really sad.

What a lucky shot! While astrophotographer Fritz Helmut Hemmerich was capturing an image of the Andromeda galaxy, a sand-sized rock from deep space crossed right in front of the camera creating this incredible green streak. Or it was just aliens. 👽
