No accent is foreign or wrong if it feels right for the speaker.

No person’s speech is a hodgepodge or somehow lesser because it incorporates multiple languages, types of phonemes, or physical gestures.

The fundamental expression of one person’s humanity to the receiver takes place on the infinitely differentiable gradient of communication, and it is immoral and inherently false to term a person’s communication as wrong.

1. The Leather/Flesh-bound giant book 10/10

Classic. Heavy. Not exactly easy to store.

2. The College Notebook 9/10

Contains the darkest magics, probably violates the Geneva convention simply by existing

3. The IPhone 3/10

What the fuck is wrong with you? No really, if you put your spells in here, you have a genuine issue.

4. Stone tablet 7/10

Feels almost... Biblical? Doubles as a close range weapon in time of need.

5. Piece of paper 4/10

Easily disposable, easier to lose.

6. A Sword 8/10

Now THAT'S a spell sword.

7. Pocket Notebook 9/10

Feels similar to the college notebook. Super easy to carry.

8. Your brain 5/10

5. trying to correct you on comedic / poetic prose (uh op I know this is a joke but the sky isn’t the color of a dead tv, it’s actually blue.)

4. The ones who are technically correct but it’s not actually that important and is just trying to be smug

3. Proudly correcting your grammar / spelling while ignoring the actual content of your post

2. the people who will inevitably comment on this saying “you forgot about X”

Catapult derives from the latin catapulta, which is itself derived from the greek words kata-peltes. While a catapulta is a specific type of weapon, the term catapult evolved to mean nearly any kind of large throwing machine.

A mangonel is, like the catapulta, a very specific kind of machine—in this case, a traction trebuchet powered by people pulling on a large throwing arm.

Technically speaking, it would not be wrong to call a mangonel a catapult, as it is a large throwing device. However, what often occurs is that any kind of catapult is referred to by the term mangonel, which is outright incorrect and often leads to misinformation about historical events, and makes studying or finding examples of mangonels more difficult and just generally annoying.

I'm at a Gender Determination Party where we're competing to determine a baby's future gender.

“Oh but this language sounds scary-“ have you heard a child speak it while pointing at a butterfly?

“Oh but this language sounds silly-“ have you heard someone’s grandma recite a recipe with such practiced ease it comes off as poetry?

“Oh but this language is really weird-“ and yours isn’t? Everyone’s language is weird, dumbass, it came free with your fucking humanity.

Every tongue that is spoken is a work of art. Every language a unique window into the world.

an omnipotent creator being almost certainly doesn't exist but if it does, it's a supervillain

gods shouldn't exist but we keep creating them to use as weapons. and no one knows how to defuse one

gods don't exist which is a relief bc otherwise we'd be forced to hunt them down for execution

creator god exists and we owe it nothing (DEEPLY unqualified)

god/s abandoned us and it hurt at the time but in hindsight we escaped a highly toxic relationship
