Be cool to each other. We'll welcome most occult themes, it's okay if you stray from witchcraft a bit.

side question: why is the "DO" emphasized in the first post? when I try reading it like this it sounds so awkward and unnatural. shouldn't the emphasis be on "why"?
[exasperated, while scrubbing cold black candle wax off of the dining table for the third year in a row while the recently turned 13-year old daughter raids her older sisters closets for anything velvet and purple] "WHY do teenage girls go through a witchy phase?"
[curious, after realising they never thought to ask their daughters this before] "why DO teenage girls go through a witchy phase?"
The emphasis on the word "do" feels pretty natural to me.
The meaning of emphasis on "why" and "do" are also slightly different I feel, but in a way I am too lazy to articulate at the moment.
The emphasis on "do" indicates an "established fact" that the author is seeking additional context on.
yeah I think that is exactly what I wanted to say but was too lazy to write succinctly while very tired eepy

I'm still annoyed that my sisters got rid of their ouija board before they got good at convincing me that they were communicating with the dead. Their inconsistent details and insistence that "we're all supposed to move it in the same direction" was really confusing for a kid who'd never seen or heard of one of these things before.
