I'm a big supporter of "the gods love you, regardless of how much you're able to do to worship them", but at the same time, it's difficult to forge a relationship with any deity (or even other people) if you don't allow yourself to be known by them. If you don't have moments of vulnerability, moments of silliness, moments of small joy even, then it's difficult to forge relationships or take them to a deeper level. Loving gods (or even other people) can be a scary thing for some people (hell, it was for me), but if you don't allow your heart to be exposed, even just a little, then you're not going to get back as much as you're hoping to.
Anything that's worth anything in life is going to require some level of risk, as terrifying as that feels sometimes, and in my opinion, having a deeper connection with a deity is one of those things that's worth the risk.
My point isn't that we aren't loved by the gods if we don't do a ritual everyday or pray every hour; my point here is that we cannot deepen our bonds if we aren't willing to dip more than just our toes into our deity relationships. Love your gods, and know that you are loved, but they can't really help you if you won't let them in, you know?
Isn’t it so fucked up how men will constantly try to deter any woman’s sense of safety or power? If a woman says she has big dogs to walk with at night, you’ll find men saying “Can it take a bullet” or if a woman has a gun they’ll say “I can just twist your wrist and take it from you”. They’re always intentionally trying to make us feel threatened and unsafe. Men will go the extra mile to find every possible way to antagonize and harm women, if we have the power to defend ourselves, they will do whatever it takes to undermine it because for them, putting women in danger, stripping us of our agency and safety, gives them power and control. And they have the audacity to call themselves protectors and actually delude themselves to believe it. The idea of women protecting themselves and taking precautions angers them, which is why they always feel the need to undermine it.
Classics students are the most fucking insufferable people. You make one reference to mythology, and they jump on you like a pack of wolves, looking for one mistake that they can correct. If you tell them you like a myth retelling, they automatically tell you how horrible the research/characterization was. And God help you if you mention an Ovidism or some other Roman interpretation of myth and say it's actually how the Greeks thought.

❥ bunny's dream life scripting series: part one - appearance!
to kick off my scripting series, i thought the best place to start would be with designing our outer appearances! our wonderful bodies carry us through the worlds we create, so why not make them as sparkly, delightful, and lovely as they can be? many people want to manifest a change in their bodies or change in the way they perceive their bodies, and this is a fun way to get super specific about what you want.
first, make sure you have an open notes app or journal to write down your ideas! then take a look at the "dream appearance ideas" section to see if you'd like to include any of them in your appearance. if none of them appeal to you, you can use that self-knowledge to create something that sounds even better! the ideas i've generated are just a starting point for your own magical ideas.
then, use the template below the "dream appearance ideas" section to start designing your own! you can be as vague or as specific as you like. for example, with height you could write something as vague as "tall" or as specific as "6'0," - write whatever makes sense for you for each section!
note: some of these are "illogical" (my fave), some of these are natural, and some of them are just plain fun. some people might want all of these for their appearance, and some people might want the opposite of these listed below. that's the fun part - you decide what you want in your dream life, no one else! no body is better than any other body - it all comes down to what makes you feel the best, and getting specific with what YOU want is what this series is all about!
hair, skin, and nails:
your hair is always soft, clean, and voluminous; you never have to wash or style your hair for it to look amazing
your hair always looks perfect, no matter the weather or what you do to it
your haircuts always look amazing; bad haircuts don't exist for you!
your hair colour can change with the snap of your fingers
whenever you dye or bleach your hair it turns out perfectly
your hair grows super fast, healthily, or;
your hair always stays the same length and doesn't grow, healthily
your skin is always smooth and perfect with no need for skincare products, or;
every skincare product you use makes your skill look more and more beautiful
every skincare product is compatible with your skin, you never have to worry about damage or breakouts
your nails are always at the perfect length and don't grow past what you want
you only have body hair where you want it to be; you never have to shave or pluck again if you don't want to
you never sweat, and it's healthy for that to be the case, or;
you do sweat, but you always smell perfect either way
facial features and face shape:
you have a mythical eye colour (pink, bright purple, etc.)
your eyes are literally sparkly/glittery
your pupils are shaped like hearts, stars, or other shapes
your eyes are never dry or irritated

now comes the fun part - fill in the blanks with absolutely anything you desire! nothing is off limits or impossible, whether it seems "illogical" or not! write your absolute ideal, what makes you feel the most confident, excited, and happy, and know that all is possible! you can use the ideas that i provided above or you can come up with your own. my ideas are just a starting point - get creative and have fun!
