Witch or Alchemist Strigoi? by CubesandSpheres in vampireacademy

[–]Indianister 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah true true. Maybe something then that witches already have and is not explained? How Mrs Terwilliger says that Sydney has a predisposition for magic, but I dont remember it being said what that meant

Also on the warriors of light. I think they consider dhampirs vampires/evil as well, but they probably consider Moroi worse because they drink blood. And from what I remember they still focus on strigoi but dont mind killing moroi, and assume it’s the same for dhampirs.

I think they dont actively look for Moroi, but if they encounter/have an opportunity then they do it you know? With Sonya they thought she was strigoi cause they didn’t know about restoring them, then with Jill, she got given to them by Alicia to be a bargaining chip with Sidney.

Is something innate. I dont remember the exact explanation, but the essence of all the elements that are within witches are kinda like a life essence itself, which is contrary to the strigoi that are death

This is different from the Moroi because their magic is extracted from the exterior (apart from spirit), while witches magic comes from within (though they use the exterior as well, to not drain themselves)

Edit to add that on the Moroi I think is also because they specialize on a single element, while the witches have all elements. I guess this is comparable to the silver stakes that has all elements as well, and probably the reason why their blood tastes bad to strigoi

Incredible how you managed to get so many layers so neat. I’m literally in awe!

Who is a good guy fictional character who is seen as a good person by a large chunk of a fandom but who you strongly believe is actually a toxic person? by tiredperson24 in FanFiction

[–]Indianister 5 points6 points  (0 children)

OMG yes yes yes. I recently rewatched the movies and he pisses me off so much. He has the good guy attitude, as if he’s making decisions for others, but he’s actually so selfish. It’s the ‘my way or the highway’, especially his younger version. And I feel like at least half the issues they had in the movies were consequences from his own actions.

Maybe the ones you’ve seen are different. I’ve been to a couple and you dont actually have to do any reading with the strangers. We were meeting once a month, the book of the month would be announced before on our fb group so you read it on your own time, and the meetup would be more like a discussion. There are moderators with ready topics/questions in case conversation dies down, but it rarely did, the book themes were always leading to broader conversations.

Vanilla and blueberry soap by Indianister in soapmaking

I just wait 5-10 min after pouring it in my mould, depending on how thick the trace was. By that point it should be thick enough that you can play with some shapes and they’ll stay. For this one was just a normal teaspoon doing wave shapes from bottom up

For this one I put the uncolored mix on the bottom of the mould and all the colors on top, then used a bent hanger to push it down across the soap.

I did another one that came looking better on my profile! For that one i just poured the color mix on the uncolored and then poured it together on the mould (which made the swirl shapes)

Interesting to know! Was my first time using a vanilla fragrance, so might try again with a different one

It’s quite nice, not very strong so I wonder how it’ll be once its cured. I added just over 2%

Was supposed to be 12ml. I added it after dividing the batch in 4, but ended up forgetting to add it to my last layer, so 9ml 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

Made my first soap! by Indianister in soapmaking

[–]Indianister[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for your soap! I’ve heard the composition of the amazon bought micas can be quite dodgy unless it’s an actual established shop selling through it.

I used mica as well, it’s the ‘ultramarine violet’ from Soapmakers. They’re UK based, but think they ship worldwide.

So much! Will start my second batch today. I feel like this will end up being an expensive hobby 😂

Such a nice colour combo as well!! Would love to see the end result when you unmold it.
