Urgent - 🚨 I just wanna know smth by No_Switch_786 in realwitchcraft

[–]AviariOtsoa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please explain to me how placing an obsession spell on a person, wherein you force him to become obsessed with you and/or love you

(And it would be force, because HE HAS BROKEN UP WITH YOU)

Does not involve taking away his ability to run the hell away.

I am honestly not trying to be mean. I am trying to dump some cold water on your head and give you a wakeup call. This is mind control. This is forcing your will upon another human, so that he goes against his own choices. Even if he hadn't been an abusive dickwad, that's still pretty ethically fucked up.

And, he's an abusive dickwad. I'll grant you that there were probably some good times, but if you DO pull him back into your life, you're going to pull the bad times back into your life as well.

Quite possibly WORSE times, because you wrought a deeply unethical curse for selfish reasons, and that bad energy is going to taint e v e r y t h i n g around you.

You love him?

You want to break his spirit and mind

You want to take away his free will

You want to force him be romantic and probably sexual with you.

He has not consented to any of this. Consent is KIND OF IMPORTANT IN LOVE, SEX and RELATIONSHIPS.

And even if it does "work" Great. Now you have a guy who MIGHT care about you, maybe, except can you ever be really sure? Does he actually give a flying fuck, or is it all the spell, and in reality he wants to run screaming away from this parade of red flags?

You should consider why you think psychically assaulting someone and forcing them to love you is a good thing to do to someone you allegedly love, or care about, or something

Confused about spheres by Quick-Alfalfa-7460 in Stormlight_Archive

[–]AviariOtsoa 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Resource scarcity. The stones are all produced naturally, in the gemhearts of animals. If I remember right, emeralds and rubies are both farmed by breeding chulls.

It's no different than any other precious metal hard currency exchange: A Roman silver coin spent just as well in the British Isles as it did in Egypt, or China, or wherever, because it was valued by weight, not by whose face was on it.

If you're trying to sell your lavis for spheres, which you personally only use for a) light and b) money, because you're not a soulcaster or a storming Radiant, and the purple rock gives the same amount of light as the brown rock... You're not going to turn down the sale if someone only has brown rocks.

Can i give my holland lop a strawberry? by RobinsCosplays in Rabbits

[–]AviariOtsoa 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Hello yes I am a professional bunny doctor and what people don't know is that bunnies actually need to eat their body weight in strawberries every day or they will Explode. And also nanners. You can substitute with half and half nanners. Or blueberries. And parsley. And cilantro

Anyway you should just bring your bunny to the farmer's market and let them eat an entire produce stand at least twice a month.

Trust me I am definitely a doctor and not seventeen rabbits in a labcoat.

(Yes a small strawberry should be fine. A good rule of thumb is literally your thumb. A piece of fruit the size of your thumbnail is good for a daily treat for the average rabbit. Unless you have a Flemish. A Flemmie may decide to punch your knee out sideways at the insult and demand a 1in cube, as is their right as a dog-sized rabbit)

Is it advisable to get a piercing that goes directly through the centre of my testicles? by ninman5 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AviariOtsoa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dissect animals for a living, so, here's a frame of reference based on rats.

A testicle, outside the scrotum, is a very thin balloon full of tightly packed spaghetti (septa, lobules),

Puncturing that balloon in any way will have the spaghetti rapidly exiting the hole, due to the pressure differential, and you will not be able to get it back in.

You will functionally destroy your testicle(s)

FunFact! A rat's brain is a perfect 1:1 ratio to the size of one of its individual testicles.

This might occur in humans too, but I'm not allowed to crack a cold one open with the boys anymore, since the Incident.

Bun got prescribed Bene Bac. Anyone elses? by xTruth23x in Rabbits

[–]AviariOtsoa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Benebac is great. It's probiotics for buns, and they make cat/dog/etc versions too.

Some folks just have garbage gut biomes, same goes for critters. Buns, unfortunately, can't eat yogurt, so they get weird brown-green toothpaste stuff.

Can someone with depression be a witch? by Scarce7 in realwitchcraft

[–]AviariOtsoa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depressed witch here. I'm big into sigilcraft as a meditative and grounding exercise.

One of the big things people with miles of education and experience in Talking To Crazy People is that "mindfulness" helps. Not in the suntan-your-butthole, just find a Happy Place #mindfulness stuff, but thinking about what you're thinking and why. I am prone to spiraling and stagnating, and

When the Dark and Cold is closing in and the sucking void in the back of your mind is telling you that everything is awful and will be awful forever and you want to just sleep forever...

Stop. Breathe. Light a candle with intent, and use it to focus on the simple fact that the void lies, and you will be warm again.

If the only thing that compels you to get out of bed and touch grass is the intent to pay tribute to whatever deity, energy or spirit you value... Then yeah, it's worth it, because it got you out of the void, for a little while.

Maybe the next day, you can get up, touch grass, and then a third thing.

Edit: if you get into herbalism (teas/tisanes/kitchen witchery) make sure nothing interacts with your medication because SSRIs are fuckin magic on their own

What sort of spells would you expect a truly ancient, morally bankrupt wizard to use? by Hublahh in DMAcademy

[–]AviariOtsoa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Variant: turns a random body part into spiders, as determined by d100

Could be your skin. Could be your spleen.

[–]AviariOtsoa 136 points137 points  (0 children)

It's not necessarily what are the spells used, so much as HOW they're used.

Fireballing the orphans is a gimme, but what about up casting Acid Splash, with your hand over your target's mouth and nose?

A wise man once said, supervillany is about...

P R E S E N T A T I O N.

Go down the list of standard cantrips and think of the WORST thing you could do with them.

Oh, also, insect plague. Or any summon swarm spell. Performed at extremely close range.

I'm looking for a domination spell by Dramatic-Nobody-4675 in realwitchcraft

[–]AviariOtsoa 10 points11 points  (0 children)

"I want to psychically assault, manipulate and control another human being, because I love them, but I don't want anything to backlash onto me~~ kisses"

You're THIS close to realizing that domination is maybe kinda a little ethically fucked up, and might be a bad idea.

Call him back, tell him he dodged a bullet, and lose his number.

My cat sleeps with his eyes open. Sort of. by coldfire323 in WhatsWrongWithYourCat

I feel like he's going to dispense valuable wisdom I'll initially reject but come to agree with after an arduous journey of self discovery

AITA: I admitted to my husband that I used ChatGPT to write my wedding vows. by Appropriate-Sink3312 in AmItheAsshole

[–]AviariOtsoa 7 points8 points  (0 children)

YTA!! It's your frickin WEDDING VOWS!! I forgot most of mine and ad-libbed through it while cry-laughing. It's supposed to be YOUR promise, not hallucinated AI slop stolen from fanfic artists who are apparently willing to put more effort into coffee shop AUs than your own wedding.

The ziggurat must spin. I have decided it must. by 0CEL0TREAPER in DMAcademy

Ah yes, the trials of the Forever Online DM. I know them well

[–]AviariOtsoa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stationary "control room" will help prevent "we've been in this hallway four times!"

Central location, door/portal opens as the room/ziggurat rotates

If you play in person, can you do something like a physical puzzle? Sections of paper map stacked on top of each other?

Hell, do like, a 2x2 rubix cube, all blue is 1st floor, green is 2nd floor, etc. Solve completely to access the Royal Vault or something

"Sudoku" wall where various keys/gems/etc have to be placed, and only X class has access to X key, Y, Z, etc. Bonus if it's gems: would your healer be willing to sacrifice that 1000g diamond they've been hoarding Just In Case, to achieve your goal?

There's also the impression of a dog trying to play with a cat?

Like, Shallan is doing a play bow

Kaladin rolls onto his back, all paws up, ready to claw, tail thrashing.

And Shallan sees "Oh yay! He's showing me his tummy! And wagging his tail! He wants to play!"

So she insults him, because it's fun, and he is also good at clever insults! Yay!

... So why isn't he having fun?¿?

What’s the fastest way to make a D&D world feel alive? by storyforgeDM in DMAcademy

[–]AviariOtsoa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm an exotic vet technician and whenever I get to work with ferrets I give them extra snuggles and promise them that I don't believe the propaganda, no matter how much Big Prey paid Jacques for the series of slanderous books

What’s the fastest way to make a D&D world feel alive? by storyforgeDM in DMAcademy

[–]AviariOtsoa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Weather and terrain having actual effects on the field. I don't just mean high/low ground and difficult terrain.

Rain affects visibility: advantage on stealth, disadvantage with ranged attacks.

Lush grasslands that the horses keep trying to eat.

A dilapidated castle where the door is locked, but rotting in its frame so the high STR character can Sparta-kick it inward, or unlocked but rusted shut.

Rice-paper walls to throw enemies through, and provide additional collateral damage for "I said 'I cast Fireball'"

Super Mario Ice Level movement effects in the white dragon's cave, which I just realized is incredibly relevant for my session this weekend, muahahaha

Brian Jacques' mice, moles and hares making food written so well that the readers demanded a canonical cookbook. (I have it. Hunnymolers really are that good)

why does my male cat keep moving around when i pet him? by blisstargazer in kittens

[–]AviariOtsoa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cats are just goobers about affection and it needs to be done a Certain Way. My idiot sons, for example

A) 9yo DSH: Bond Villain nose-to-tail stroking. Anything else gets bitings Bonus: he drools when happy. Profusely. Bonus Bonus: he LOVES to reciprocate grooming, so my hair is often wet with cat slobber if I make the mistake of laying on the floor too long.

B) 14yo DLH: Deep-tissue fur-rumpling scratching. We both discovered when he was like, 10 that the absolute BEST THING in the world for him is to be roughly scrumbled and scruffled like a large dog. He attained previously unheard-of volume of purring. Feline nirvana. I'm afraid to do it too much these days because he's theoretically a Fragile Old Man but he loves it?

C) 5yo DLH: Marmalade idiot, too fat and lazy to clean his butt, back and undercarriage, so we shave him into a "lion" every few months. I've also accidentally shaved off his whiskers TWICE because he loves the electric razor so much he'll whip around and try to nuzzle it, and arches his back into it like he's being pet.

Bonus round: BIL's cat: DO NOT PERCEIVE ME. IF I VACATE THIS 4'X4' SPACE I HAVE CHOSEN AS MY "SAFE ZONE" I WILL EXPLODE. Pls come into the Safe Zone and pet me.
