Dizzy's Evil Lair

*sees a little guy* oh wow! He’s such a - *remembers that my immediate assignment of this gender-ambiguous creature as a male is an effect of patriarchal standards and that female representation must increase until this standard changes* she’s such a creature!!!

As a she creature (a she-ture, if you will), I highly appreciate this post, thank you for raising awareness

I'm just saying, if you're going to worldbuild magic being a "raw, primal force, akin to and interweaving with nature itself" you gotta explain to me why animals don't use it

I know the normal answer is "they just aren't smart enough for it" but idk I've seen enough media where a character uses a spell in a moment of brain-off panic ilI feel like animals could probably stumble into a spell or two like, accidentally

Also how funny would it be to see a completely normal regular bear cast magic missile outta nowhere

Dogs can also cast Magic Missile but every time they do the projectile is shaped like a bone or a stick and they chase after it

group of wizards who ask this in-universe, and after extensive study learn to their surprise that animals are casting spells all the time, just that their magic is so fundamental as to be unrecognizable to humans. turns out the only reason acorns grow on trees is because squirrels keep wishing for them.

When a species becomes extinct humans have to figure out what kind of magic they were doing to keep the ecosystem from becoming out of balance

Wait hang on. Hang on. This is brilliant actually.

I feel like a lot of people get "All Art is Political" confused with "All Art is made with Political Intentions" which is not the same.

How would you describe the difference?

“My employee is completely fine” your employee’s “small vent game” throws creatures grown into a lab into the merciless pits of despair to grab lost cargo and die of sepsis

...do tell

See what I love about your posts is that you think so very deeply about pieces of media and somehow find the most devastating conclusions and it always wakes my brain up a bit

Ok now there's Orpheus and Eurydice involved, I gotta read this book now

Gen Alpha is doomed I just rickrolled 12 of them and they stared at me in silence before one kid asked “what’s this song?” I fell to my knees; that hurt me physically.

Wait tell them Rick Astley does 6-7 in it, surely that would work!!!

How very tragic, what is the world coming to? What has become of the youths?

Working in retail is crazy because I'm talking in my Bright Customer Service Voice and smiling like my life depends on it all while internally the hate monologue from I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream is blaring on a loop the entire time

I work with kids sometimes and the other day while in the middle of a 9-5 I was filling out a paper and my coworker came up to ask me where something was and because my brain was fried from explaining things to 5 year olds for five hours straight I went into the voice you use for kids and said “can you hooooold on for me juuuust a second pretty please! I’m just gonna finish ooone little itty bitty paper and then I’ll be riiiight with ya! Just one paper, can you give me two big minutes? Then I’ll be riiight over to help! :)” and there was a long silence before I said “…I’m so sorry” and he went “no I get it me too.”

Wait that is amazing and as someone who has worked with kids in the past, so so relateable
