There's nothing like getting to the point of your craft where you're solidly confident in what you normally do and you suddenly decide to pick up an entirely new branch of magic.

It's like...I know exactly how to identify and solve problems with my existing craft. But I'm trying to do something new. And I have little to no idea of what the fuck I'm doing.

Man Utd advancing talks to sign £65m star

It’s no surprise to see Manchester United working tirelessly in the summer transfer window, especially after the dismal 2024/25 campaign which saw them break records for all the wrong reasons. The Red Devils registered their lowest-ever Premier League finish since the division’s formation, notching just 42 points in their 38 matches – achieving another club-low tally. Ruben Amorim will…

Jason started a side business as Gotham's most feared mediator. His success rate is 100%, mostly because people are too terrified to continue arguing.

Random Gotham Citizen: ranting My neighbor keeps playing music too loud—

Jason: What kind of music?

Citizen: Does it matter?

Jason: If it's good music, I'll ask them to turn it down. If it's bad music, I'll make sure they never play music again.

Citizen: ...it's country pop?

Jason: cracks knuckles Oh, we're gonna have a conversation about their taste AND their volume.

Steph: I heard you mediated a custody dispute between two villains over who gets to keep the hyena.

Jason: Harley won. Obviously. But now the hyena is trained to growl every time it hears Pitbull music.

Cass: Scary. But effective.

Jason: Put that on my business card.

Bruce: reading an official letter from the GCPD “Red Hood has resolved 34 neighbor disputes, de-escalated 11 road rage incidents, and mediated a PTA meeting that was about to turn into a fistfight over bake sale proceeds.” Jason. What are you doing?

Jason: kicking his boots off They weren’t resolving it themselves. I’m empowering the community.

Dick: By threatening to shove subwoofers up their—

Jason: Allegedly.

Tim: To be fair, noise complaints in Crime Alley are down.

Jason: Thank you, runt. See? Tim gets it. 

Tim: I didn't say it was legal. 

Jason: Details, Timmy. Details.

Damian: Fear is a valid deterrent. I approve. But next time, invite me. I wish to deliver an informed lecture on dubstep.

My best advice for advancing mages of any stripe: Get off of social media and out of the "New Age & Spirituality" section of the bookstore, as these things are so focused on the basic stuff. Don't hold yourself back at the 101 level forever.

Instead, find people you disagree with on how magic works. Discuss topics and enjoy your differences.

Use things for magic that other people won't understand.

Find or make up the most fucked up magic thing you can think of and work from there.

The more your craft, path, or other form of magic deviates from the "normal" 101 stuff, the better.

Forward...March

Welcome, March! Time is literally MARCH-ing forward, and so are we! An army platoon marches forward, never backward. Whether soldiers are stationed at their home base, transitioning between posts, or engaged in battle, they are always on assignment –pressing onward until their mission is complete. For curiosity’s sake, I looked up how many active U.S. military there are. In 2025, the US military…

Dear golden boy, whose love language is physical touch

Research is fun. I love doing research. Especially into magical/occult stuff. But y'all, you gotta be willing to actually do some magic stuff. You can't just appear on other people's blogs and tell them to do all the work for you.
