Yeaaaaaah. This avatar feels better. Now we're talkin'.
more like transcuteation
the wonderful witches of witches.town have introduced me to the glyph ꙮ
it is "multiocular O", a variant of Cyrillic O that is used in certain religious texts in a phrase that translates to "many-eyed seraphim" and basically nowhere else
I honestly am having a hard time thinking of a single witchier Unicode character unless the Leviathan cross is hidden somewhere in the codeplanes
I think my brain overheated and needed to cool off. Hence the two-hour nap that I didn't really have a choice in.
@pfq @Rumpelcita Holy shit, that's awesome! Thanks!

What am I doing rn tho
@Dauntless hexagons are hexcellent as well
@dragon :raised_hands: hexagons :raised_hands:
@spiderrobotpig Huh. When you put it that way, that doesn't sound like all that bad of a thing to be.
real talk ever since I read about the finger-magnet implants in high school I have always wanted one and the instant I find someone offering I will absolutely go all in
And now, back to shitposting.

@dragon Yeah, but then where do autonomous magical constructs fall on this, if they have some degree of discretion in their assigned tasks? At what point are you able to definitively say "yes, I have a soul;" more to the point, if you don't have a body, how do you make sure you're not some sort of horrible spiritual parasite or demon or something?
...Yeah. I obsess a lot about this. I'm dumb.
Also, ultimately, I guess I'm here to soak up anything which can get me closer to an answer to the one question I can never really get out of my head:
How do I know if I have a soul?
...Little heavy for shitposting, I know. But it still bothers me, not knowing.
@oneiro That is a fascinatingly multifaceted question. My purely-practical answer is "look, I don't like looking at Judgement and being reminded of my fundamentalist Christian upbringing," and less dramatically "yeah the oldeschoole style ain't doin' it for me."
I guess you could call it a desire to recontextualize tarot/divination in a way that I can engage with wholeheartedly, without reservation.
So then my brilliant idea was to try to rework the narrative to something that makes more coherent sense for 1. the modern era and 2. someone who's queer as fuck.
Well, that was less my initial plan and more what fell out. Art reflects the artist.
But I figure I can't have been the first person to try somethin' like that.
So I like the idea of tarot but as someone with Extremely Mixed Feelings At Best about the narrative thereof, I've considered trying to adapt the mechanics.
My first attempt there was to take some cards I had lying around and use them as a divination tool, but that didn't really work. I could feel a flicker of personality, and telling someone they drew "Water Energy, upright" was hilarious, but I didn't have a big enough spread of meanings to actually get much of anything valuable out of it.
@spiderrobotpig SHIT I HADN'T EVEN CONSIDERED THAT
@spiderrobotpig RIGHT?! Not only is it an incredible experience as a player, the whole core mechanic just sucker-punched me brilliantly as a designer. I'm so jealous, I wish I could come up with something half that good.
