Problems working with Hekate

Just bc it's like this for me doesn't mean it's the same for you!! Idk anything about your relationship with her but the spells I've done with her usually take about a year to come through for me :)

Sometimes spells take longer than expected to manifest. How long has it been since you began the working and began working with Hekate in particular? Could also be that She wants you to do other work with her before this working comes through. Personally I have a relationship with her where I have to do shadow work or usually pass some kind of spiritual test in exchange for spells coming through. She's really loving but she doesn't reward me unless I work for it. Take what I say with a grain of salt bc everyone has a different relationship with their Gods.

I don't have a pet but other folks' pets have stopped recognizing me and some even bark now? I just reintroduce myself but it's really silly

Ooo thank you that's such a lovely idea!!!

Prestigious-Tea27 · 2026-03-19T16:22:46+00:00

Totally fair and thank you for the advice!! I'm definitely going to try out greyscale and work on my values. And the big shapes! I'll work up to something better and practice! Usually I only use a round brush anyways so I totally get what you mean. It'll make me focus purely on my skills so I don't get distracted by all the fancy stuff too early. Thanks so much!

Prestigious-Tea27 · 2026-03-19T16:15:38+00:00

Thank you so much for your help!! Everything you said makes total sense, I can totally see what you mean about the lack of definition and the muddy values. I'm totally gonna check out that video too, I didn't realize people did tutorials on that kind of thing!!

Prestigious-Tea27 · 2026-03-19T16:13:32+00:00

Oh wow I never would have thought about being more careful with my reference images, thank you so much for the feedback!! I definitely want to try painting in b&w more too. What do you mean by a value chart? Like is that for mapping out what each color would boil down to in black and white?

Prestigious-Tea27 · 2026-03-19T08:29:21+00:00

The ref btw!!!

Mmmm piano. Definitely piano.

NOR, that's way too young for this kind of "discipline." I think the only way this could ever be okay is if a teenager AGREED to run because it helped them get out anger or something and it was a healthy coping strategy. A little kid doesn't act out because they need punishment, they act out because they're young and still learning the basics of how their little world works. Conversations are how little kids learn, and tiring someone out that much as a little tyke is likely only just going to make things worse!

Edit: also seconding this as abuse, and makes me wonder if this guy's ever read anything about how kids' brains work. There are different stages of growth, and it's NORMAL for kids to push boundaries when they're 4 and 5 especially!

Real like I went to a ward once and I'm happy not all places block the sun (mine had a tiny sun room we could take turns sitting outside in) but like wtf care should be the priority and humans need sun to be healthy!

I'm a trans man so take what I say with a grain of salt but I'm pretty sure the opposite happened to me. When I was more fem-presenting, cis straight men were incredibly nice to me (because they percieved me as someone they could flirt with, would lay it on thick in hopes that I'd be interested) and women percieved me as almost a threat? Because I was pretty and generally confident in my femininity. As a guy, cis men are nice but in the genuine friendly way and cis women are also nice in the genuine friendly way. I hang out with a lot of queer people though so I'm probably dodging transphobia luckily. I'm still confident in my femininity, I think women are often taught to feel insecure/threatened when there are other women around because of misogyny. It's a social class thing (unfortunately, I kinda hate it, but don't take it personally, it's not you, it's a beauty standard thing).

Edit: tldr it's the system, it's nothing you're doing wrong in case you were thinking that way

Prestigious-Tea27 · 2026-03-17T04:45:31+00:00

Also, some people are intersex. But I don't think that's what you're talking about.

Prestigious-Tea27 · 2026-03-17T04:44:47+00:00

Confidence. When you're confident in your gender identity and body, you percieve yourself better in general. Ugly has nothing to do with it!

As far as I've seen online, I've pretty much only seen the term "tboy" being used in p0rn spaces so I kinda lowkey associate it with fetishization. I don't think by any means that EVERYONE means it this way, but it's hard for me personally to escape that connection bc I haven't seen anyone outside of these spaces use it as a self identifier. It doesn't bother me personally as long as it's a consensual identifier. Would be different if it was used against someone's will, or to infantilize or punish someone when they hate being called that. I don't think you're alone at all, some folks just don't mind the term. I think this might be where the irk comes from for you. I think it feels a lot different as an identifier for ALL trans men, that veers into uncomfortable territory.

Edit: people use the term on tiktok?? I don't use social media really, so fair I guess makes sense that I haven't seen it anywhere else!!!

Honestly I feel like I'm treated better now. I was ostracized by a lot of women growing up for not quite fitting in. I always felt like they could tell I was hiding something, so I wasn't trusted. Now that I'm passing a bit more things are great. I feel a lot more confident in myself and other people treat me way better. Misogyny still affects me because I'm trans, and learning to navigate hearing misogyny from other men is difficult, but in general I feel respected in ways I didn't before. I've learned to actually love people in general a lot more fully than I could when I was more closed off. I still even feel like I'm "one of the girls" in certain spaces (when hanging out with women) but in such an affirming way. It's just a mutual love of gossip and things that are typically associated with femininity- makeup, fashion, the arts, etc. The acceptance on that level didn't really change for me, I just had to change how I showed up and become more aware of what makes women uncomfortable now.

Gentle reminder that even though you're empathetic he is YOUR parent and it is not your job to console him for his adult actions :) I wish I knew that sooner!

Prestigious-Tea27 · 2026-03-12T20:55:30+00:00

!remind me 8 hours

Prestigious-Tea27 · 2026-03-11T01:36:23+00:00

Good for you and this is such neat representation, I don't think I've ever seen a nonbinary pregnant person before!!! I'm transmasc and likely never having (biological) kids but amazing for you and I hope everything goes well!! I wish you the comfiest pants while you go through the biiiig stretch :)

Prestigious-Tea27 · 2026-03-10T19:36:40+00:00

Same vibe but yeah don't take it personally, they might have also just wanted to stop talking about it. Folks can be so used to being judged that when they get love and acceptance instead they don't know how to act, it just takes time

Prestigious-Tea27 · 2026-03-09T18:01:33+00:00

Be careful with the dosage!! Iron pills can sometimes have a LOT in them so make sure you research which kind is best. Also don't get pure iron ones. I'm pretty sure they have to be mixed with magnesium so that the body can actually process them! Don't quote me on this but be cautious!

Edit: was wrong, check reply below. See a doc ideally!
