HAPPY 16TH BIRTHDAY!!! To this elderly bapy boye!!! he...!!!

#cats #ghhbbb this is the first time I've genuinely considered tumblr blazing a post lol but no.. i shant.. I feel too weird putting financial #information into tumblr or whatever unless I made like a seperate bank account or something not associated with anyhting else lol #but I gave it serious contemplation which is really sayng something (the evil magical spell that all cats cast over u by their perfection)#ANYWAY.................... old man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#it's technically like march 8th but I did his party a little early. I have other pictures to post later maybe too..hrmm #The '1' candle is actually a '4' candle with the side part cut off because they didn't have any 1s #I went all out (like under $15 still lol) and got new birthday decorations for him instead of using the same old #ones from the past like 5 birthdays that I've done for the cats lol..#His theme was rainbows mostly in as light of colors as I could find #The legal age to drive a car in the US is 16 so.... honk honk beep beep.. I shall go out and buy him the most expensive car on the market #as soon as March 8th comes. then he can run little errands (probably mostly getting kibbles or chicken somewhere)#stealing the rotisserie chickens from walmart or something lol #AND they would let him have them. He would drive up and walk inside and they'd call the manager to come over #and they would be so moved by his presence and his big goofy stare that they would just be like..... okey.. have all the chicken in the #entire store. Actually. have the store. it's yours now. And This would continue all the way up the chain until he was handed #the entire walmart company. And every other company. a boy who owns everything. probably wouldnt use it for evil. he'd just abolish #everything and then focus on eating chickens.. ........ chibken son...

i feel like im not making any sense but does anyone else feel like there are stories that let u run with them and ones that spell everything out for you

#im reading that post that says artists are directors of audience reaction and not its dictator:#'you cannot guarantee that everyone viewing your work will react as you are trying t make them react. a good artist knows that this is what #allows work to breath. by definition you cannot have art where the viewer brings nothing to the table ... this is why you have to let go of #the urge to plainly state in text exactly how you think the work should be interpreted ... its better to be misinterpreted sometimes than #to talk down to your audience. you wont even gain any control that way; people will still develop their opinions no matter what you do #im thinking abt this again cuz i was thinking maybe the thing that lets adventure time work so well the way it does is cuz it doesnt #take itself too seriously that it gives the audience enough room to fuck with subtext and then fuck with them back yknow. i think it was #mentioned somewhere that they werent even planning to run with the postapocalyptic elements that are hinted in the show but changed their #mind after the one off with the frozen businessmen and dominoed into marcy and simons backstory. on the other side there are stories that #explain too much to let the story speak for itself and i think it ends up having to do more with the crew trying to lead ppl in a certain #direction than expand on what they have and i see a lot of this with miraculous. like when interviews and tweets are used as word of god in #arguments and it becomes a little stifling to play around with it knowing the creator can just interject. u can say its the crews effort to #engage with its audience but it feels more like micromanaging. and none of this is to say there ISNT room for stories that spell things out #theyre just suited for different things. if sesame street tried abstract approaches to themes and nuance itd be counterproductive #a lot of things fly over my head so i need help picking things apart to get it- but it doesnt have to be from the story itself. ive picked #picked up or built on my own interpretations listening to other ppl share their thoughts which creates conversation around the same thing #sometimes stories will spell things out for you without being so obvious abt it that it feels like its woven into the text. my fav example #for this might be ATLA using younger characters as its main cast but instead of feeling like its dumbed down for kids to understand why war #is bad its framed from a childs point of view so younger audiences can pick up on it by relating to the characters. maybe an 8 year old #wont get how geopolitics works but at least they get 'hey the world is a little more complicated than everyone vs. fire nation'. same for #steven universe bc its like theyre trying to describe and put feelings into words that kids might not have so they have smth to start with #especially with the metaphors around relationships bc even if it looks unfamiliar as a kid now maybe the hope is for it to be smth you can #look back to. thats why it feels like these shows grew up with me.. instead of saving difficult topics for 'when im ready for it'#as if its preparing me for high school it gave me smth to turn in my hands and revisit again and again as i grow. stories that never #treated u as dumb all along. just someone who could learn and come back to it as many times as u need to. i loved SU for the longest time #but i felt guilty for enjoying it hearing the way ppl bash it. bc i was a kid and thought other ppl understood it better than me and made #feel bad for leaning into the message of paying forward kindness and not questioning why steven didnt punish the diamonds or hold them #accountable. but im rewatching it now and going oh. i still love this show and what it was trying to teach me #yapping #diary

Lucien this is NOT a secure location why are you visiting me in the Mythic Dawn headquarters

#I decide to sleep once out of combat to restore my magicka #and guess who wakes me up?#Lucien Lachance #then once he casts his chameleon spell he walks away. I get into combat with Mythic Dawn acolytes and have thus lost track of him #then I suddenly get a message that Lucien Lachance is dead #like. bro #it's your own damn fault #now I have to reload my save and I guess NOT SLEEP because fucking LUCIEN DOESN'T KNOW THAT THE MYTHIC DAWN HQ IS DANGEROUS!!!#THIS ISN'T A SECURE LOCATION #VISIT ME IN A MAGES GUILD OR SOMETHING #oblivion #dark brotherhood #tesblr

Wait.. if marlo is the groom and I'm the bride... which one do are you... like a mix? Either specific one? A ghost with ethereal sparkles instead of clothes? /silly

I'm a guy. Not a man. Just some guy. I pull up to the wedding with my Primark hoodie, sweatpants and a milkshake. And the softest smile in the world

#asks #keri ^^#nothing in is more gender affirming than being called “just some guy”. am i a cat you saw crossing the street? your aunt Lizzy?#the Eldrich horror living in the woods? your own reflection? who knows. it was undeniably me though #you don't have to have a gender in order for your smile to be magical. and I'm about to cast a spell on the whole village with how much i #love you guys #so there's #that

I hate to ask but

#dndads #dndads spoilers #:0 Just been thinking about my own fears and how on edge I'm gonna be next ep #*obviously* my fingers are crossed that we don't lose anybody else 🤞🤞🤞🤞#dungeons and daddies #Time to cast your spells of protection folks!!!#Admittedly a naïve part of me is also still clinging onto the hope that one of the teens becoming god-#Would be able to bring her back...

Man... I love the concept of Eragon's spellcasting so much. Usually spells draw on some sort of mana pool, in books and games, and if there's not enough left you simply cannot cast the spell you want to cast until there is.

Magic in Eragon doesn't care if you have enough "mana" left. Spellcasting in Eragon says "you invoked something ancient, and it is going to draw off your life in order to do what you asked, even if it kills you." You cannot stop once you start. Spellcasting is incredibly dangerous and takes a ton of training to (1) know your limits and what will go beyond them and (2) slowly, slowly increase that limit.

If your endurance and constitution are high enough, you can cast a complicated spell and come out of it feeling exhausted and kinda like shit, but it's done now. If they're not high enough, all you can do is sit there and slowly die knowing you made the wrong choice.

Idk I had a dream last night that used Eragon style magic and it was like WOAH

#you CAN cast that too high level spell..... once #idk as a concept its pretty cool #especially since spells in the series is less a specific set of terms or gestures or whatever to channel/gather magic #and more invoking natural forces in an ancient language that doesnt fuck around #and when you make the invocation you have made it and it will do what you asked even if it kills you to do it #ig it could kind of be like making your own spells in tes? ive only played skyrim so i havent done that but #theres no real set invocation. you have to choose words that vaguely mean what you want #(e.g. when eragon was trying to find a way to draw water out of the soil)#hope they actually do what youre trying to do and then also hope you dont die in the process #inheritance cycle my beloved #even tho im only halfway through book 2 #and dont remember anything from when i read the whole series in middle school

whoever told me that abjuration wizards suck were lying to my faceeee see this subclass is so cool. i guess if someone likes playing glass cannon wizards it's a shit class but this girl i've got is. well she is tormenting my dm is what she's doing. good class

#what you're gonna do is hit level six okay and you're gonna #cast mage armor on yourself and in addition to that since it's an abjuration spell you're gonna add arcane ward (temp hp)#and at lvl6 you can use a reaction to direct any damage an ally takes within 30 feet of you onto your arcane ward and you're gonna #cast shield when you need to (Careful tho. only one reaction per round. redirect damage Or shield) and since shield is also an abjuration #spell you're gonna take the level you cast it at and double it. and put that into your arcane ward's hp. any abjuration spell puts hp #back into the ward. MEANWHILE you're concentrating on witch bolt. and you're not even risking con saves because you Aren't Getting Hit #so you are essentially nullifying damage that others take (if your ward hp depletes you take the remaining damage and can't cast it again)#while frying people alive every turn forever and ever until they die or go out of range. bless this bizarre combat medic wizard build #i don't have the numbers but i know a'velle took a good half of the fight's damage on her own and only lost 2hp in the fight #one day i decided that i wanted to play a combat medic wizard. and then i was like. wow this is not useful. and then level 6 hit #miss girl was standing there crit-frying a crocodile alive while waiving damage over to her ward and boosting its hp with bonus actions #gotta say. the fight was two crocs and a couple of little guys. miss girl dropped both of the crocs #NOO WAIT THE WARD DOESN'T DROP AT 0HP I JUST HAVE TO CAST ANOTHER ABJURATION SPELL. WOAG

i want to headcanon that aqua showed kairi her wayfinder in bbs and thats why kairis good luck charm looks like one. So mad that this didnt happen in bbs cuz literally its perfect . Whatever...

in bbs aqua mentions that she made the wayfinders look like that because of the paopu fruit and kairi's good luck charm was meant to be an old sailor's superstition (but i also like headcanoning that it was also from the paopu fruit tree, like it changes to in com) which is a fun connection between them both but like. kairi remembering aqua through that small detail, her linking good luck to aqua who saved her in bbs is so fucking adorable i am absolutely going to take that headcanon in and let it sit in my brain. forever and ever

i also find it kinda funny that any time a good luck charm is given to a character their life IMMEDIATELY becomes fucking cursed fdkhdfkjh the literal day after the wayfinders get theirs is when shit falls apart, same with sora, and the good luck charm is constantly used to taunt sora in com. their asses are NOT blessed with good luck

#kh #your hc is so cute though. nomura is too afraid to make any female characters interact lest they have a moment of agency #but kairi not remembering her past but still implicitly remembering that aqua was good luck is so cute i love their dynamic #i still find the scene in bbs where aqua's like 'there i cast a spell on your necklace for safety :)' so funny like thats a hell of a retco #the same with aqua telling sora to keep riku safe if he wanders down a dark path like. girl come ON khfdkjh #does make me think a bbs aqua timeloop au would go so hard (i read one fic like that which was GOOD)#but why was it her necklace!! her necklace has literally never been relevant since!!! it shouldve been her own wayfinder #and kairi remembering the wayfinder!!!

After Elminster's visit...

Gale: The orb is the best chance we have — and only I can wield it. Tav: *working out how to use Magic Jar to take his place*

#the spell is definitely missing some details on edge cases #like “what if the body you possess has no soul?”#“What if your body is possessed when you try to return to it?”#I think you could reasonably make a swap if both parties casted magic jar #make sure you're both in your own jars before possessing the other's vacant body #the question is where does Tav's soul go when Gale's body dies?#it'd be interesting if you ended up with both their souls occupying Tav's body #gale dekarios

Imagine if spells could be cast to inflict you with any symptom, not just those of physical illnesses

Like, screw 'coughing fit' or 'fainting spell,' give me

Hocus pocus, leaping locust,

I cast curse of hyperfocus!

Or

Tic tac, bric-a-brac,

I hex thee: Panic attack!

#Your destiny #make it grand or horrible #Grasp it with those hands of yours #'Cause you can live your dreams while still awake #Don't try to cast a spell on me #You'll never win #You'll never break me #ANIME #Swords #Fairy blue #for you #I'd steal the stars #And lay them at our feet #So we could own the night #Black papermoon #ai generated #soul eater

The most inconvenient thing about my life right now: having belated intense beaujester feelings when I didn't even have them this hard three years ago when shit was going down. It's just the exact opposite of the feeling I tried to describe about Imogen and Laudna and all the ways in which you're super cognizant that your happiness is all the more precious for having been snatched out of all the myriad possibilities where it doesn't happen -- the knowledge that in another life, in a different playthrough, it absolutely could have happened but fate rolls dice funny (fucking pandoogle) and isn't that devastating?

#musings: cr #also possibly a little bit of grace freddie feelings tbh - Freddie's solo in You Cast a Spell on Me is just a lot okay???#also tbh they wouldn't have romanced each other twice in a row so if that HAD happened horse ghoul witches probably wouldn't have #which is its own form of devastating too! but like. i don't know i am in my feelings a lot these days.#i promise i was not this crazy three years ago when i lightly shipped them but in like a normal way #also i do enjoy beau and yasha! i also enjoy smooshing all three of them together into an amorphous polycule #but. feelings are largely stupid and out of your control.

Ok but why do people think they can talk to me in an aggressive tone, but if I return the same energy then it's big no no.

#i just had a conversation on how ethically self made billionaires don't exist only to be suggested to become one if I'm that great like hm..#in terms of irrealistic ambitions i think i'd rather cast spells but then there's probably more chances i get there than finding an actual #bona fide ethical self made billionaire #i mean for example you could spend your whole life exclusively shop lifting and the moral damage would be nothing to compare with #what it takes to be a billionaire #not that i have much if any moral concerns regard shoplifting in general like it's at your own risk if anything #the main difference between shoplifting and work class exploitation essentially lay in #shoplifting is a minimal loss if anyone take in consideration the profit margin of most products that happen to be rather often inflated #so it may cost a few profit loss at the end of the fiscal period big loss big sad #but workclass exploitation is globalized and wage thievery cost thousands to most workers individually a year #but that's okay that's fair and fine they're just stealing everyone's fucking time ah i mean creating jobs yea creating jobs how honorable #now would they create those “jobs” if it wasn't so lucrative and exploitable? Do people do really thing these people create these jobs #to give people a sense of purpose or what? I mean it's soooo stupid 😭#like just the fact that we have to make LAWS regarding minimum wage should be indicative enough of a fucking problem
