Altar For When Your Style Is Cramped, Featuring: One Kleenex A Cigarette Lighter A Cup Of Cheap But Delicious

Altar for when your style is cramped, featuring: One Kleenex A cigarette lighter A cup of cheap but delicious sangria Two icons made from salt dough for Nuska (left) and Nisaba (right), respectively A candle with a stick of incense in it In the background is also a naked Dr. Pepper bottle full of ritually purified water. Which basically amounts to me praying to Enki for him to purify it. I’m not going to make a habit of altar posts, but considering my upcoming video and the number of people nervous about not having elaborate altars, I figured it was appropriate. This was set up on a bedside table, the only place I could. You can easily substitute water for sangria, because what is more sacred than water? I usually pair it with water crackers and an apple, but. Style is very cramped right now.

samantha comes home late & she smells like liquor and blood. she’s going to have to scrape her heart off the underpass later and if she ever forgives herself for it, she will have nothing left. she tells me how tired she is of being a mad woman. a madwoman. she says the only kind of ecstasy she feels is manufactured. i can taste the bacchanal on her breath when she sighs, body swaying like she’s still thinking about dancing. the blisters on her feet have burst and the blood leaks onto the couch but i tell her its fine, its fine, we’ll learn how to stop curling ourselves around what isn’t really there, cut out the maenad crowding her mind and she cries, she cannot stop. what is there but the frenzy?

Gugulanna, as depicted by Fate/Grand Order. Most videogame/media depictions of my gods I'm not a huge fan of. Check out Marvel's Ningal to see what I mean. There's DnD's Tiamat, probably Nergal (Nurgle) in Warhammer40k. I don't even like Ishtar in the Fate series, really. But Gugulanna? Good gods this art is beautiful.
