makeup as an offering?

so i’m a bit new to any kind of deity work/worship, and i really want to make an offering specifically to anpu as i would like to start working with him. i know that offerings like bread and water are always safe bets, but i was wondering if doing my makeup in the colors typically associated with anpu (and tbh in general if doing makeup in colors associated with any deity) could be considered as an acceptable or appropriate offering?

Is there a term for this feeling?

hi everyone! i’m not well informed about labels that fall under the nonbinary umbrella, and personally i dont care much to really label myself, but i am super curious to know if there is a specific term that exists for the way i perceive my own gender identity, or if this would even count as being nonbinary.

the best way i’ve ever been able to describe it is that i feel like everything, but also nothing all at the same time. it doesn’t fluctuate or change. i’m fine being addressed and seen as a woman, and i do present predominantly femininely, and i have no issue with that. i do feel connected mainly to womanhood (i am afab if that matters), but i also don’t really see myself as a woman. i don’t feel like a man, nor do i really feel like i’m neither of those options, all while simultaneously feeling like i am all of those options.

i don’t care for he/him pronouns, and would never ask someone to use them for me, but i also can’t say i’d be bothered if someone did. I do not like terms like boyfriend/husband/man being used to describe me, and i would be bothered if someone used them on me, but i don’t mind having terminology like sir/king/mr used on me and those feel affirming. (for example my friends will say things “yessir” or “ofc king”) i don’t care much for neutral terms (i.e mx/partner, they simply don’t feel like me) i am fine with all feminine terminology, and those feel affirming for me as well.

i don’t identify as a man, but i feel more masculine in terms of my energy than i do feminine or androgynous (but i do feel those to some degree as well)

I refer to myself as a woman, and most people (including myself) use she/her pronouns for me, i have recently asked my friends to use they/them on me as well to see how those pronouns make me feel, and it just feels a bit unnatural? i’m not sure if that’s just because im not used to it, or if they just don’t align with how i feel because it doesn’t necessarily feel “wrong” either.

i guess tldr, i don’t feel like a man, i don’t feel like a woman, and i don’t feel like nothing, but i also do feel like all of these things at once. i know that sounds really contradictory, but thats just simply how it is when i look at/perceive myself.

i don’t really see, or truthfully care about my gender, its not something i ever really think about. often times i just describe myself as simply being. i exist, and i am me, which is good enough for me and the people close to me. i’m just really interested on if there would be a term to fit this, or if other people feel the same way because i’ve never really met anyone who would describe themself the same way, nor have i been able to find anything online where people discuss having the same feeling.
