Hiya Tumblr,

Broken up about JK Rowling's descent into loud, financially-backed bigotry and the resulting souring of a beloved book series from your childhood? Looking to fill the void of stories about wizard school?

Read The Scholomance Trilogy by Naomi Novik.

Featuring a magic system with consistent and coherent rules, a diverse cast, and a world that is both dark and incredibly colorful. The school is a shifting eldritch location suspended in the infinite void, invested with monsters that hunt the students through its halls. There are no teachers or professors or adults in sight; the students fend for themselves in sink-or-swim desperation, self-teaching with materials the school provides, building their skills and forming alliances to survive the neverending gauntlet. The protagonist is a budding dark sorceress who chooses On Purpose to be good, equal parts Wednesday Addams and Granny Weatherwax.

I haven't read the third book yet, but I'm incredibly excited to.

Read these books. Forget Hogwarts, the Scholomance is where it's at.

I know Cold Iron RestraintsTM are a big thing in fics, but sometimes I think back to The Lady of The Lake and I remember that Hegal was a professional bounty hunters for magical creatures, and one with such a reputation that Uther knew him by name and let him have his guards to look for his runaway prisoner. And I think that, in spite of her curse, Freya couldn't get out of her cage and her restraints; she was trapped.

And then I remember that Merlin waltzed up to the lock, ripped the fucker open like it's paper, and then snapped her chains like they're crackers.

I'm just saying, can you imagine the absolute fuckery if those restraints were made specifically to imprison magical creatures, and Merlin was just so powerful he didn't even notice? He goes through his whole life terrified of witchunters and the like with 0 knowledge of the fact that he's unrestrainainable by humans. He's fucking immune. He keeps breaking out of things no magical creature has ever broken free of he and he has no awareness of it. Elle Wood's What Like It's Hard? but make it an anxious mess of a wizard in hiding.

I want a fic that is all of this and ends with a Mordred's reveal. "Emrys, that was Cold Iron." "I guess?" "You guess?" "I mean it looks like iron and it was cold, I'm not sure what you're looking for here"

i can’t believe i’m rewatching naruto

I spend so much time alone that if I was ever falsely accused for a crime I would never have an alibi

Ok big question: Can people just catch akumas? Like, as long as you don't have a ring, or another hand accesory, could you just catch it and nothing would happen? And just wave down Ladybug to purify it?

We saw Lila catch one in s3, and she had to shove it into her earing, so????

Full disclosure - I watched only up to s3 so that's the lore I'm basing it on

kakashi knows that wearing a mask keeps others safe! 

also this is my new comic style so you can expect something similar to this in future comics (whenever I feel like putting effort into making one)

I had a cute interaction with my son that I wanted to offer as a possible idea for a comic about Anya! He has been interested lately in learning the male and female names of animals, asking me "what's a girl chicken called? what's a girl lion called?" and he finally got to "what's a girl dog called?" And my husband and I kept insisting there is no name for a girl dog, it's just a dog. But he knew something was up from the way I laughed so he kept asking. And finally I said "a girl dog is a dogina." And he bought it. Now, if it were Anya, she definitely wouldn't have bought it! But I can also imagine Franky or someone answering her sarcastically "a girl dog is called a Fiona" LOL. Anyway, just a fun idea along the lines of that early comic you drew of the "motherfucker doesn't start with a b" concept which I LOVED.

i didnt bring franky or fiona into this, but it also turned out lowkey sad 😭😭😭 i had no idea where it was going till it was too late. Anyways. Dogina is funny, thank you for the idea LMAO

actually bouncing off this post:

alternate scenario where the rebels continue to think the whole thing is a wacky coincidence and that Darth Vader has mistaken Luke for his actual long-lost son

decide this is too good an opportunity to pass up, send Luke in as an undercover agent

Luke ''''pretending'''' to be Darth Vader's son and faking going along w Vader's attempts to turn him to the dark side like yeah i love anger & hate let's do this. can you show me how you do that move where you throw people in the air with your brain.

he is secretly feeding information back to the rebellion all the time constantly

a number of Vader's underlings are pretty sure Luke is a rebel spy but everyone is too afraid of Vader to argue with him on it

Vader meanwhile is desperately trying to train Luke while keeping Palpatine from finding out his son is still alive. Luke wanders in while he's mid imperial conference call and gets tackled to the ground.

after a couple of months Vader decides Luke has had enough training for the 'we should kill the emperor and rule the galaxy together' speech

Luke (who has in a weird way kind of got to like Vader at this point) radioing the rebellion like guys call me crazy but i think we might be able to get this guy on side

i find the dischotomy between the batfam's potential to kill vs their real-world willingness to kill very interesting! so I made a graph because I'm a nerd
