OwO

dudes online used to spend 72 hours on photoshop uninterrupted editing people’s faces to look scary and we called the finished product some shit like jeff the killer and put him in spirit halloween and on wikipedia These days you open tumblr and top of dash is a 42 note edit of jerma’s face so fucked up looking that it could’ve been used to texture a corpse in a y2k valve game and you get a little nauseous and otherwise just keep scrolling. and this is known as “a tuesday

You can lie when you name things

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

tells you how much whoever runs ellipsus cares about people other than their narrow view of "the common people" when their merch store sells a 26€ tote bag where "the blank product sourced from China or India" and a 35€ "organic sweatshirt" where "the blank product is sourced from bangladesh". They're shipping in shit made in sweatshops and printing a design on them and then selling for these prices. incredible really. talk about stolen labor

idiot at wizard school just said "i have devised the perfect mana nullification field rendering me impervious to all forms of magic!" i figure he should've taken a few more interdisciplinary courses because i tweaked the timing on a gravitation spell to throw a giant boulder at him. the moment I released the spell it stopped being a sorcery equation and started being a physics one

all of the numbers that are divisible by 17 sound so absurd. 51? 68? 85? ridiculous. 102? absolutely not. and don't even get me started on 119

34 and 136 i can believe, but i feel like i shouldn’t. it’s 102 in a trench coat

did we just run out of posts to make

no, i haven't made a post about every number yet

I'm sorry to let you know that 100,000,001 (one hundred million and one) is divisible by 17 and because of that, so is every 16-digit number that is four digits repeated four times e.g. 1234123412341234

I’m ready to be transformed by the ibuprofen . I’m ready to be born again in its purifying light.

My job? I’m the bat enemy in 2D games that flies at you from a diagonal angle you can’t shoot in, it’s an under appreciated role but really serves to test the player’s understanding of the mechanics leading up to harder challenges. I also receive an intense smug satisfaction when they can’t hit me.

Recently started rewatching Invincible (idk why tbh) and I realize I'm probably not saying anything new here and for all I know this might already be a popular fan theory that I'm just not aware of bc I don't really do fandom. but it just occurred to me that the whole "in most dimensions where Invincible exists he joined his father to conquer earth" thing in season 2 could be read as at least partially a product of survivorship bias. As in. There was probably a lot more alternate dimension versions of mark who refused to join nolan in conquering earth, but the vast majority of them didn't survive the ensuing fight.

From a thematic perspective it's a reading that shifts the pivotal point of this phenomenon from mark's decision to refuse to join nolan in his mission to nolan's decision to have mercy with his son. Which I think is at the very least an interesting perspective idk.
