Oh no, I got stuck looking at footage from the Golden Compass movie and now I’m having serious dæmon feels. Like, “a world where everyone has corporeal dæmons” feels.

A sparrow dæmon fetching things in the grocery store as their human walks by

A big cat dæmon walking down the street next to their young anxious human, disappearing in and out of street lights like a shadow, growling from deep inside their chest at people who could be a threat to their other half

A raptor dæmon flying overhead of their human riding a bike, tugging in their hair for teasing and the human swatting overhead and almost loosing balance

People carrying their dæmons on their shoulders. Just, carrying your dæ on your shoulder. It’s so important.

A monkey dæmon clinging to their human’s arm when they walk and jumping to the table as their human sit down to eat

A tiny mouse dæmon running under and around their person’s hands as they write on their computer

Dæmons of classmates touching noses when they see each other in the morning

Dæmons of lovers curling up together under the table as their humans share a romantic dinner

Dæmons of friends resting in a huge heap of unidentifiable feather and fur and scales when their humans have a movie night

A ferret dæmon wrapping themself around their person’s neck to keep them warm in the evening air

An otter dæmon acting coach to their human when they’re swimming, swimming around them and splashing water on them if they don’t swim fast enough

Children’s dæmons playing in secret under the tables when their humans have class, taking tiny forms to not be seen but giggling and scurrying so much they can’t be missed

A big sibling’s dæmon cheering up their crying little sibling by changing into a really colourful butterfly and fluttering around above their head

The thought of corporeal dæmons make me so happy, guys.

✨ How To Wake Witchblr ✨

We’ve all seen the hashtag #wakingwitchblr or the term itself at one point. Still, I found that there’s a lack of info on what you can actually do to make witchblr more active. 

So I took it upon myself to create a list of things that anyone can do to revive our amazing community! Enjoy !

1) Don’t Like, Reblog instead 📣

There’s nothing inherently wrong with liking a post, it’s just that due to how Tumblr works, liking a post does virtually nothing. Reblogging, however, lets that post be seen by more and more people. The surefire way to revive witchblr is by reblogging as many witchy posts as you can. 

But what if some posts just doesn’t fit into your blog’s theme, even though you want to support it? Well, you have a couple options:

Reblog anyway. Diversifying your posts actually makes your blog more interesting. You can always tag it as ‘off-topic’ if the different theme bothers you that much.

Create a reblog/spam account! I have one and it is so simple. The post may not gain as much traction compared to if you RB-ed in your main blog, but trust me when I say a single reblog goes a long way.

Share it on other social media. See that arrow-like button down there? Click it and you can share the post anywhere. Send it to your witchy discord servers or your insta groupchat !

 2) Get off the ‘Top’ page. Go to ‘Recent’ 💌

AKA reblog from lesser-known bloggers.

Not only will you support fellow witches creating content, this also give you a chance to talk to them and find your place within Witchblr! Which brings me to my next point…

3) Interact with The Community 💬

If I’m a witch who wants to move away from Tumblr, there will be only one thing that can stop me, and that’s the friends and connections that I’ve made here.

Join online covens and discord servers, ask your witchstagram and witchtok friends for their tumblr url, and just have fun together. 

Interacting with other witches, making friends, even just giving compliments or advices. This is what makes us a community. It’s what makes us stay here. If we don’t interact with each other, than we’re just a bunch of people who likes the same thing without any connection. That’s not witchblr.

4) Diversify Your Tags 🎪

There is a kind of… exclusivity, when you look through the hashtags of witchy posts. Witches only ever tag with “witchblr”, “witchcraft”, and “magick”.

This creates an accurate, non-spammy post, but it is also a post that will only show up on other witches’ dashboard and no one else’s. The community will never grow in this way because there will be no new people finding the community. It’s just an echo chamber.

Instead, diversify your tags. I’m not telling you to tag your ritual oil with ‘cars for sale’, but if you made a travel altar yourself, there’s nothing wrong in tagging it #crafting, #diy, #handmade, etc. 

Non-witches will then find the post and potentially become interested in the community, thus making it grow.

5) Make Original Content 🔮

Original content is the backbone of any community, and witchblr is dying because we’re not producing any. So if you want to revive witchblr, make content of your own.

No, it doesn’t have to be well thought-out. Heck, it doesn’t even have to be good. Original content can be anything! It can be you posting about a witchy thing that happened. It can be your drawing, or a picture you took. It could even be memes???

Or it could be a ‘how to wake witchblr’ post that you wrote because you have a script due 3 weeks ago and somehow this is your idea of procrastination

The point is: just click that ‘Make a Post’ button, and make a freaking post !

6) Share This, and Add Your Own Tips! 🖤

Now that you know these, it’s time to let other people know too ! I put a lot of thoughts into this post, but I have to admit that these tips will only work if everyone in the community is doing it. 

If you have other tips or ways to make Witchblr more active, feel free to reblog with your own addition too.

I love this community, and if you’re reading this post I’m sure you do as well. It’s not gonna happen overnight, but I know that we can be as active as we used to be. We’ve got the heart, we just need the action.

THIS IS SO IMPORTANT

Simon’s friends in the movie were so mean to him. After he was blackmailed they left him on the sidewalk in tears. And were straight up RUDE. 

Simon’s friends in the book were so fiercely protective of him. After martin outed him they stayed by his side and glared at anyone who even looked at him sideways Abby nearly beat up some bully’s and they all stayed with him nearly the entire day to make sure he was okay.

Conclusion book Simon’s friends deserved all the love and movie Simon’s friend’s do NOT.

this has been a psa 

Animorphs Battle Markings AU

This was actually an AU I came up with quite a while back but haven’t gotten time to develop. 

The premise is that in canon Animorphs (including Ax, and also any other morph-capable beings) don’t develop physical scars on their natural form from battle wounds received in morph. But in this AU, any injuries they receive in morph appear as skin discoloration/marks/conditions in their natural form.

Rachel and Jake develop freckles.

Marco’s skin peels.

Cassie has discoloration.

Tobias develops striping/speckles on his feathers.

Ax’s fur brightens and spots (and this happens with all Andalites).

As all scars, these marks can and will fade. But with their constant battling, it always comes back. Some of the more severe injuries leave very permanent/long lasting marks.

(meat of the post under the cut!)

It always bugged me in The Logging Adventure book how Cassie freaks out when they all morph ants, and she’s having an anxiety attack on the floor and Rachel has to hold her to try to calm her down, and the whole time Cassie is thinking ‘oh, I can’t believe I’m making Rachel hug me! Rachel hates to give hugs, she must be so uncomfortable!’

Like, Cassie, babe, sugarcheeks. What Rachel are you talking about?

The Rachel who nearly got herself stuck in a cat morph because a girl that she wasn’t even that good of friends with anymore was upset? The Rachel who was like, ‘This girl needs cuddles! I don’t care what it costs!’? That Rachel?

The Rachel who crouched in a construction site with both arms wrapped around her friends to shield and protect them from harm, but also to comfort them? That Rachel? 

The Rachel who in the future stands in the hallway of a busy hospital and hugs her cousin who has just manipulated her into hunting down their ally-turned-enemy because she feels bad for him that he has to do things like that? That Rachel?

Cassie. Sweetie. Toodlebug. I know you were hopped up on ant pheromones, but if you slander Rachel like that again I am going to have to revoke your empath license. Rachel will hug anyone who needs it and she will never feel bad about it.

10 Illvermorny Headcanons

The 7th year Wampus’s run a MMA club and spend most of their free time teaching the younger years self defense. 

A 4th year Horned Serpent was given 30 hours of detention once for standing up on a table and calling another student a ‘stupid fuck’ for denying global warming during the middle of breakfast.

The Thunderbird students have a wall in their commonroom filled with postcards and Polaroid selfies from different places.

A Pukwudgie student was caught selling some ‘totally medical’ herbs to other students.

The professors have nearly gave up on trying to keep the Thunderbirds from leaving school grounds. 

The Pukwudgies may or may not be charging other students for acne reducing potions.

The Horned Serpents have been trying to get electronics to run on magic. The project has been going on for 3 years and has resulted in more than one fire.

Due to some of the NoMajBorn students feeling unsafe due to NoMaj controversies and politics (Race, sex, religion, LGBTQA) A group of Wampus’s have started escorting these students around campus.

The Thunderbirds and Horned Serpents have began a language club. The Thunderbirds needing the help for travels and the Horned Serpents desiring to speak other languages.

The Pukwudgie’s are to be feared when trying to find a test subject for newly learned healing charms or potions.

Okay, but the Taboo wouldn’t count for parents and young children, right?  I mean, toddlers are naturally grabby and it’s just their way of looking for comfort, and babies are babies, there’s no stopping them.  How could they not hold onto their parent’s dæmons, especially if they’re larger animals?  That’d probably be a safe place for them, something comforting.  And besides don’t parents have to hold baby dæmons in order to carry their baby from room to room?
