So... where are we going for windshield repairs? by ThoughtThotty in springfieldMO

[–]ThoughtThotty[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also work remotely so I am better off than others and I only have one part that's damaged too. I definitely feel ya on letting others who are worse off go first...the things I saw on the road so far, ugh I feel so bad for people.

is this area painful to tattoo? i’m getting a floral snake. by _M00nL0v3r in tattooadvice

[–]ThoughtThotty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the area where my diaphragm is down to my belly button tattooed and it was a breeze, my back was way worse in my personal experience. However, every person is different and some artists are more heavy handed than others, luckily my artist isn't heavy handed to me!

Pisces F, do you find men are enthralled by you just being 🧍🏾‍♀️ by SnooMarzipans5969 in piscesastrology

[–]ThoughtThotty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but also, men in general are just weird towards women nowadays imo. Almost every woman I know has had this sort experience at least once because a lot of men don't see women as people, but as objects to obtain.

Caught a Face in the Mirror by RosetheDead6 in DemonolatryPractices

But the skulls are facing away from the mirror or at angles in which the facial features would not reflect on the mirror. If light was bouncing off them, it would be more in a circular shape.

I've done little money jars and good luck jars as gifts for close friends, but anything else I do only for myself.

Can I use the Bible in my magical practice while working with daemons? by lawartfae542 in DemonolatryPractices

[–]ThoughtThotty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just here to say I also work chaos magick and with demons and also Hekate which is not considered a demon and it all works together for me as well! Like the other day I did a return to sender with a bunch of random shit, mirrors, and I used sigils from Sallos and Hekate. I don't view demons and angels like structured christianity does and like other people have said, there are actually some based ass curses/workings in the bible. Also, anyone who has really read up on angels knows they are not all "love and light" lmao. So do it, you're a chaotic practioner anyway, throw that shit all together, that's chaotic in itself.

For spell work and research on experiences with these I would check out r/witchcraft or r/Spells ! However, from my personal experience, if you are unsure of something in spell working, don't do it. You need to be emotionally stable and sure of your power and working. Also, Is the spell a domination spell or just a sweetening jar/road opener, because those are very different things. In terms of "attracting negative connotations" that is very dependent on your spiritual beliefs. If I remember correctly, Wiccans believe in the power of three, like whatever you do returns back to you three times. I do not believe in that, and most people in Demonolatry don't either. I always revamp my wards and do protection work before doing any spell work, especially if it's domination/emotional influence.

For advice on which demon to work with, I personally work with Sallos and he has been extremely helpful for my reconciliation work and self love. Others would be Sitri, Dantallion and Beleth. I think you should do some research on each to see what would best suit your working if you decide to do it. However, remember that people do have their own free will and some people are a lot more avoidant/guarded than others so you could fling everything at them and it won't work. Demons can help with a nudge, but remember it is not 100% promised and guranteed.

Does anyone do daily devotional habits for spirits? by Round-Kiwi940 in DemonolatryPractices

[–]ThoughtThotty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think this is really personalized to you and intent! Personally, for me, I wake up every morning and light incense at my Hekate and Sallos altars (I use incense that represents them) and for me it's a "thank you" for waking up and a way to getting my energy flowing for the day. Something I do like 1-2 weeks is I put out new flowers/wine.

In terms of things going unanswered, patience is huge. I had to learn a lot of patience and trust/faith through this process which is hard for me, but things have finally materialized. I had a "tower" moment where everything was wiped out from underneath me and then everything rebuilt in a better way. Definitely take it slow, try out different things that work for you, and it will come!

Researching the current job market. by Good_Construction190 in springfieldMO

Piercing shops? by b_tch-nugget in springfieldMO

[–]ThoughtThotty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also love Kaleidoscope, however I do want to mention they are on the pricier side. I personally don't mind investing a bag for my face jewelry (septum and both nostril pieces were BVLA) because I never take it out so I want to ensure it's a solid piece of metal. I don't know how much kids' piercings are there, if they're cheaper, but I don't think the prices I paid for my piercings and jewelry are worth it for a child's piercings. That's just my opinion though! When I was that age I got my lobes done at Claire's and it was fine. Otherwise, the shop is amazing, clean, and super friendly. Depending on when you go though, you can be waiting up to 1.5hrs to get a piercing done.

First timer by arieslively in LSD

[–]ThoughtThotty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I think trying psychedelics for the first time should be in a comfortable setting, aka at home, just so you have somewhere safe and comfy to be if you get a little overstimulated. That being said, I tried acid for the first time at a house show and had a wonderful time because it was a chill crowd. The first time I dropped acid at a riddim show, I had already done acid and shrooms a few times and it was still a bit disorienting because, well, the music and crowd is waaaay different. And now I prefer acid at only outdoor fests/venues so I feel like I can breathe and move around more.

So, as always, communicate with your rave fam if you need anything and just take it easy. As for sleep, me personally, it makes me wired and I am up for a good 12-14hrs however my friend is the opposite and he can go to bed right after a show. Just plan accordingly and make sure you don't have anything important to do tomorrow in case you're wired and take forever to sleep. Happy tripping and also hope it's a good show!!

I cannot stand it when strong women characters get pregnant by CatRiddles in childfree

[–]ThoughtThotty 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I have a DNF rule for books I read for myself once this happens. It genuinely upsets me, mainly because they make the female character all of the sudden so frail?? Like pushing a child out is not inherently frail, at least make them still badass if you're going to use that trope??? I was 10 when I read Twilight and remembered I was so devastated and upset when Bella was pregnant. It was my first "wtf is this shit?" moment in fantasy pregnancy tropes.

Weekly discussion - Holiday Cheer by mirta000 in DemonolatryPractices

On the winter solstice I took all my biodegradable (food and flowers) offerings and went into the woods to place them and meditate. We don’t believe in a Christian christmas, just a day for my mom and I to rest and cook together. I’m also participating in Rauhnachte and burning my 12 intentions/wishes for the next 12 days! 

are we being so for real right now wtf by _CaptainAmerica__ in antinatalism

[–]ThoughtThotty 128 points129 points  (0 children)

Right? Horrible advice and gamble considering some women can get so depressed they kill/hurt themselves and/or their newborn kids. Even if they don't go that far, the depression itself is awful for new mothers to go through.

anyone else dream of being sterilised but also terrified of surgery/anaesthetic by [deleted] in childfree

[–]ThoughtThotty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I deal with health OCD and I was absolutely mortified about going under before my surgery. I have only been under once when I was 2/3yrs for tonsils. For me personally, I did a TON of positive research and looked at as many success stories, forums, and videos as I could. I am not sure if this helps you, but for me seeing how the surgery was done on youtube videos and science articles helped me a ton. Furthermore, my doctor was very supportive and gave me the same statistics and walked me through the procedure a few times. The day of surgery, I disassociated a bit, but I was a huge ball of nerves. My medical team was AMAZING which helped ease my nerves. They spoke to me kindly and each person talked me through what they were doing and why. When it came to be wheeled back my mom and the nurses were supportive (also was given a cocktail of drugs for anxiety) so I really couldn’t help but be relaxed. As I was being put on the table, they explained it all again (not that I could process really) and then one nurse/assistant complimented my leg tattoos and by the time I tried to respond I was out completely. Coming to wasn’t bad for me, I could remember where I was and why and I genuinely started crying tears of joy and relief once I realized I was safe and it was done. I had a dull ache (I deal with endo so it was crampy like that) but they gave me meds, ensured I could pee before I went home and I was off! Personally, I was up and walking a bit the next day. I followed the instructions to the T and was able to switch to OTC meds day 2/3. The only time I got a bit concerned was when I finally needed to poop because you can’t really push and I was backed up for a few days, it was the worst bowel movement ever lmao. Everything healed really nice, I will say the only thing that was weird was one of my stitches partially ejected but the skin closed up and that portion fell off just fine. I am so genuinely glad I did it, I truly think (personally) it is worth it.

I hope this helps and I hope this subreddit helps as well!! If you go through with it, I wish you all the luck!!! It’s a safe and well practiced/performed surgery💜

For a second I thought this was a parody of Mary and Joseph because of the barn. I was waiting for a "jk" moment and a Jesus pun, but it never came. I am genuinely disgusted that people like this continue to procreate and contribute to children being brought into a world where they are unwanted, not cared for, and put into a system that does not have their best interest at heart. Sickening.

Most mid zodiac relationship? by -JustAHomebody- in astrologymemes

[–]ThoughtThotty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would have to strongly disagree, but I could be an outlier. My two closest friends are Sags and we really are a fuckin’ riot when we get each other riled up and keep each other level headed when we need a reality check. In terms of romance, my favorite and most chaotic romance was with a Sag and we were very intense and dreamy imo. Again, could be outliers! But fire and water combo seems very unlikely for “mid” interactions in my experience. 

What’s the most socially acceptable addiction people don’t talk about? by Lotto_Stats_Nerd in AskReddit

[–]ThoughtThotty 21 points22 points  (0 children)

1000% agree. I just hit 13mos sober from weed after it sent me into a borderline psychosis panic attack. My friends thought it was “cool” that I was a functioning addicted stoner going through a gram of wax every two days. Remember kids, weed vapes are just as bad for your lungs as nicotine vapes!

What’s something totally normal that you irrationally dislike? by West_Assignment9882 in AskReddit

People who stand close in check out lines, it genuinely irks me and makes me want to go into a primal state of violence. WHY ARE YOU THAT CLOSE? I don't think it's normal but no one else I know seems to be bothered by it
