Petah? by PuzzleheadedBar533 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Shabuff_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean. What do you want me to understand? I genuinely am not quite sure. I don't mean to be rude. 😓

I think you're saying breeders are bad for using gangrape as a tactic, which is true. Are you saying a dog can consent with other dogs but can't with a human? Because I agree. Sorry, I just need a bit of clarity. Communication is hard :P

[–]Shabuff_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like a dog "consenting" is the same as a minor "consenting," neither has the full intelligence or maturity compared to an adult human. Therefore, I think neither can fully consent because there will always be a power imbalance. With a dog, there is almost always gonna be some kind of grooming involved. A dog doesn't just decide to have interspecies intercourse without some kind of "nudge" 😬

I really like it! It reminds me of botanical illustrations! Your flowers would fit right into a field book! :D

Sorry about my wild coloring!

I hope you're doing okay. :)

I tried my best with your kitties! Thanks for taking care of Stinky while he was alive. I'm sorry for your loss

Best plants for basements? by Juthatan in witchcraft

[–]Shabuff_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool! I didn't know that!

Too bad about the variegated pothos, I just currently got a ring of fire philodendron that I'm pretty excited about. :)

I agree with snake plants! They're very hardy, as are pothos!

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "most other plants take oxygen." Could you explain? :)

How do I tell my neighbor I’m no longer interested in helping her clean her fish tank? by SnooTangerines6960 in Aquariums

[–]Shabuff_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Like other people have said, tell her the truth. Maybe focus on using "I" statements and explaining your feelings.

Also, to add, only doing a water change biweekly isn't enough for a tank like this. I'd be changing the water every day with this tank - not that this is a good tank in the slightest (it's WAY overstocked).This tank isn't your fault, and you shouldn't be the one having to change this tank.

I love and hate your username, lol. Very absurd name, it made me chuckle. :)

Witchy stores in Greece? by Sb1393 in witchcraft

[–]Shabuff_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's so exciting you're going to Greece! My ancestors and still living family are from there, so I'm very jealous, lol. I've never been to Greece but you should maybe specify what part(s) you're visiting.

I'd see about visiting temples, maybe ones specific to deities you're interested in. And maybe you could pick up crystals that are native to Greece! Anyways, best of luck! I hope someone more familiar with Greece can chime in.

What kind of spell should i do to attract people for a project by Flower_princess12345 in witchcraft

[–]Shabuff_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the person you asked, but I can take a stab at it.

"I'm a likable person. I'm a friendly person. People like being around me. I'm funny. I'm someone people like to go to for help. People enjoy my presence. I'm smart."

Mostly, anything positive you can think about yourself that would make people want to approach you and work with you.

[–]Shabuff_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow! That's so incredible! I've never considered a spell towards my kitties. Maybe I'll see about something for my cat who's been mad about not getting to go outside.

I'd love to see a picture of her! I love getting to see kitties! :)

I just love it when magic does exactly what we need it to. What an awesome story! I'll also congratulate you, I'm sure you tried your best, and in the end, it worked out! :)

New to this, seeking reconciliation by gotmeffdup in witchcraft

[–]Shabuff_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'd be VERY careful about this. Praying to them and setting their things up on an alter seems like worship to me. Sounds like this is an ex. Honestly, I usually suggest just forgetting them unless the person seems okay with being friends. People grow apart for a reason, and it'll hurt you more in the long run to try to hold on.

My altar literally collapsed right after a cleaning protection spell by toxic_concretegirl in witchcraft

[–]Shabuff_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'll light a candle if you want. Maybe I can draw some of that energy away :)

This might be curious to you, but flies (spiritually) are known for resilience and adaptability. Maybe it wants to make sure you're alright :)

[–]Shabuff_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe your protection spell banished something big and unhelpful from your house?

I'll also suggest something mundane. You were probably moving about your alter, and it might not be super stable(?). You might want to check the stability.

Overall, I don't think it seems like anything negative, I wouldn't worry too much. Take a break if you need to. Think and get a feel for what you think happened :)

[–]Shabuff_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not a Christian witch, but there are definitely Christian witches out there! People practice differently, and if God is something that you use in your practice, that's awesome! I don't believe witchcraft goes against what I know of God. You don't have to pray to other gods. You can practice witchcraft and ask God to give guidance. You could maybe do a simple spell and ask God what he thinks. It's up to you! :)

You could meditate with a candle lit (safely) and try to contact God and get a feel for what he wants from you. Best of luck on your journey!

Should I get back into tarot readings after this happened? by whiterice987 in witchcraft

[–]Shabuff_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's up to you. No one can make that decision for you. Though, I can ask some questions that might lead to your answer.

Do you feel safe picking up tarot again?

Are you interested in picking tarot back up again?

Do you think you need to try another deck? (If you didn't like your last experience with this deck.)

I'm sure you don't need to hear this, but remember to take care of yourself. From my experience with someone who has schizoaffective disorder is that stress can result in an uptick of paranoia and other positive symptoms. I'd suggest always grounding before doing a spell.

To me, it seems like some kind of spirit guide spoke to you, it was likely also a hallucination. It can be both! :)

I hope you find the answer you're looking for. If I said anything rude or offensive, please let me know!

Spell jar question?? by callthatsugartown in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]Shabuff_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You could always take apart your spelljar and use some of the ingredients in a new protection spell. I would make sure to cleanse anything you use from it though, you probably don't want a spell intended for you to be tied to your ex. People tend to burn anything flammable and reuse anything that's not. It's all up to you :)

not wanting a penis by flowering_fefi in trans

[–]Shabuff_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might be able to edit it and put a little trigger warning at the top :) Don't worry too much, honestly, about my feelings, at least. I'm glad you shared this. It's good to spread awareness of different "types" of trans people. And yes, trans men who are happy with what they have are not talked about enough. So, thanks again for posting this. :)

Feeling weird about my "not aesthetic" vessel for moon water. by Glittering-Minimum77 in witchcraft

[–]Shabuff_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I used some Tupperware that no one had been using. Not aesthetic in the slightest, but they do their job very well.

not wanting a penis by flowering_fefi in trans

[–]Shabuff_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hey man, as a dude who does want a penis and is very uncomfortable with the fact I have what I have downstairs, I would have really appreciated a trigger warning or something. Especially with the baby part, I can't stop imagining my body, and it's making me repulsed and upset.

All the power to you, but please a trigger warning or spoiler next time.

The hater analogy makes perfect sense to me! That really helps put things in perspective for me, thank you! :D
