I have been using alligators as the base for dragons in a book I am writing. Please make me regret my decision and tell me some cursed facts about them!
contrary to popular belief, american alligators can survive the occasional deep freeze just fine!
they do so by entering a torpor state that’s basically a short-term hibernation, but first they make a big ol’ hole in the ice and stick their face out of it so they can breathe until the thaw comes.
depending on how long the freeze lasts, this may mean that the hole literally freezes shut around their faces, and abruptly the swamp by your house is now a skating rink with built-in pit trap hazards.
don’t worry about them though, they’re fine! as long as they have access to open air, they’ll wake up when the temperature rises again and go back to lurking around pretending to be logs, though they may bonk around disorientedly for a few days afterwards.
“the shit was THAT about??? humans better stop fucking with the climate, I swear.”
overall, the alligators probably weathered the Great Blizzard of ‘21 better than the humans did.

Hello pals im Roy, hi, how are you? Im back! Isn’t that great, i think thats absolutely fabulous! Anyways little context, i was trapped because of the pandemic but im back home and that’s what matters.
Anyways let’s start with the very interesting topic of enchanting objects xd.
What does enchanting objects mean?
Basically and in a fast summary, you are putting your energy into that object so it fulfills an intention/purpose. Example, im gifting my best friend a little necklace, i enchanted it so it protects her against negativity and toxic people.
Can the enchantment run out of energy (stop working)?
Yes, as most of spells that surround energy, they can stop working but don’t worry! There’s actually a great post regarding this topic by @scroll-of-thought right here that i would recommend to read. If you’re too lazy the summary is basically 1. create a sigil who recharges the enchanting through something simple such as touch or moonlight 2. create a spell jar who grabs energy from the surroundings and doesn’t need to be recharged.
How do i enchant objects?
1. Cleanse the object, you don’t want to put your energy into something that has negative energy in it.
2. Then there’s actually a lot of ways of enchanting an object. So here’s a brief list:
Enchanting with touch
Visualizing energy running to the object (my post regarding visualization here)
Surround the item around crystals (if you have them) that match the intent
Draw a symbol/sigil on it with an invisible thing such as water, or idk be creative
In general i personally prefer the visualizing thing, but you know, paths are so different and maybe some people prefer enchanting with crystals! Remember not to use too many of your energy and that you can grab energy from other things such as plants, crystals, the sun, the moon, etc!
With nothing more to say, good luck in your craft <3
WAIT A MINUTE
