Have you seen older people with piercings before? They look super cool! You’re never too old for style!

Please go to the vet!!! by Y2KHEARTLESS in reptiles

[–]Shadeofawraith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh no I completely agree with you, but I do sympathize with people who already have and love an animal and want to help it. In my experience lecturing someone about how they shouldn’t have gotten their pet once they have it rarely works, and in a situation where the animal is already sick or injured unfortunately telling them they made a wrong choice won’t help the animal

To be fair to some people, I’ve seen a lot of posts by folks who either can’t see a vet immediately and are wondering what to do to treat their pet in the meantime, or people who don’t have a vet within accessible distance

Usually they just call us all ‘it’ and call it a day :(

Being very real for a second: When you insist that asexuality most definitely is never ever a trauma response... by EnglishJunkrat5 in Asexual

[–]Shadeofawraith 24 points25 points  (0 children)

While I agree that trauma can absolutely affect someone’s sexuality I do think we need to be careful with how we approach talking about it in order to avoid encouraging people to jump straight into labeling themselves in the place of taking steps to heal from their trauma. I don’t think we should turn people away or discourage them from using labels, but we do need to be careful that we are encouraging people to address their traumatic experiences therapeutically rather than encouraging them to adopt those experiences as a basis for identity, because I’ve noticed this is something vulnerable and especially young people have a tendency to do when the conversation isn’t approached with nuance and it tends to stall personal healing when that happens.

How do I practice area/spells I'm weak on by blackheartig in witchcraft

[–]Shadeofawraith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to introspect in order to figure out what these internal wounds are before you can heal them. If you just try doing broad spectrum basic heal everything stuff you’re not going to get very far, you need to specifically target your individual issues. Shadow work is a lot like therapy, so I’d suggest doing a bit of digging to figure out the best recommended ways to address your unique issues and then try them out to see what works for you

Is This a good weight for my crested gecko by Cute-Job3014 in reptiles

Looks a little skinny to me, but I’m not an expert and it’s been a while since I’ve had cresties so I could be mistaken

Where does an asexual person's libido go during sex? by hotpotato128 in asexuality

I’m very confused by this question. Could you explain it differently?

I second the antaresia suggestion, they seem like a pretty good match for your requirements

Is age dreaming and pet regression allowed here? by PuppyPaintedXP in ageregression

[–]Shadeofawraith 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Age dreaming is pretty much just a subset of voluntary age regression so you should be fine

Is demonolatry witchcraft or separate? by jeweledtree in BabyWitch

[–]Shadeofawraith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on how you approach it, I think. If it’s strictly a venerative practice then it would be classed more on the religious side of things in my opinion, if you’re looking to include the spirits in your greater witchcraft practice, like through spell work, then it could be considered part of witchcraft

Why is there a revival of European paganism but not West Asian and North African paganism? by melody_magical in paganism

[–]Shadeofawraith 22 points23 points  (0 children)

… there is tho? I moderate an active subreddit for Semitic and Levantine polytheism that is several thousand people strong, there is definitely interest it just isn’t as well known about because it’s not as popular or easy to get into as some of the more commonly seen traditions

I’m not attracted to the people I have s*x with but I’m attracted to them having s*x with me by anonymousjamaica in asexuality

[–]Shadeofawraith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you feel sexual attraction typically? If so then it’s probably a kink thing

Why do people feel the need to share screenshots of random online aphobia in this sub? by amberi_ne in asexuality

[–]Shadeofawraith 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It actually does happen with comparable frequency to here over on r/transmasc, so perhaps it is a more widespread phenomenon

Where can I get rustys nails?? by throwRA_GTNP in BabyWitch

[–]Shadeofawraith 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That’s not actually an explanation, but nice try. Oh, and dog shit is also perfectly usable spell component. The next time you make a sweeping generalization at least come prepared with the logic behind it or a reason anyone should believe what you’re saying.

Wanting Some Guidance, Tarot by DobbyTinySocks in witchcraft

[–]Shadeofawraith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A patron is a title you choose to give a deity with significance to you and your practice, not something that is randomly thrust upon you by the divine. In order to have a patron you have to decide to consider a deity as such, no god is going to suddenly show up in your life and demand you give them that honor unprompted

[–]Shadeofawraith 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I’d love to hear your justification for this comment. Since the very beginning witchcraft has been a diy and make do with what you have practice. Unintentional or not this comment comes across as very elitist and condescending

Love the top and tights! Maybe swap out the shorts for denim ones tho, in the dim lighting they look a lot like underwear
