STORM WIZARD ANALYSIS PARALYSIS REAL!!!!!!!!!!!

(OLD OC SKETCHES) Meet Sunnabelle Von Sunnoviche, final daughter of the Sunnoviche family. Peeking from behind a window, she witnessed a wizards final spell, one that reduced the world to a wasteland. Her noble blood damned her to [HELL], but unwanting to suffer with her family, she made a deal with the devil. She now hunts in his name. The top of her head was taken by the blast on that day. The fires of her spirit have boiled her blood into a super-heated plasma.

you guys ever be reading some really long but interesting and wack ass post on here, and then have to pause your reading cause you have to put your phone down or check another app - only for Tumblr to refresh and you will never find that post again cause you hadn't reblogged it yet and you will never get to know what ended up happening

Sure, Nere is annoying and tossed a gnome in the lava like a dick and yes, he also has two seperate bounties on his head Ronan aims to collect with prejudice, but, honestly, Ronan just wants to get into this fight because he knows the bitchy dandy he keeps around by feeding like a stray cat is Upset about stopping Gnome Murder and he doesn't want to hear about it.

one of my professors had a saying, 'what do we do when we don't know what to do?' [a crowd of undergrads cheers] 'Research!'

it was partly practical to help us get used to easily use the various research databases and stuff, learn how to find papers, keep track of citations, etc

also generally for office hours, if we came to her, she asked that we have like one paper or something that we had found trying to answer the question ourselves [easier to figure out what we know then and how to help, but again to get us used to casually using our research tools and build our citations]

-

and just in a general scientific sense, if you don't know what the right answer is, it's not like class where someone knows and you have to guess and be wrong. a bad grade in science is just 'not getting funding'.

you are building new information, part of that is by definition making educated guesses and seeing where they fail. well-cited guesses ideally, but hypothetically speaking (literally) you also prepare to be incorrect about your guess.

truly wild how many of us were gaslit into believing the world-building in h*rry p*tter was good.

Y'all are aware of that 10 hour Harry Potter retrospective but the thing that gets me the most out of that whole thing that I never considered when reading the series is that wizards can obviously chose to adhere to the Statute of Secrecy but like... Magical creatures can't make that choice and Fantastic Beasts literally starts with Newt chasing down a rogue niffler, meaning that muggles probably frequently encounter magical creatures. There's no way that muggles and magical creatures could reasonably be segregated- Hermione's cat is half magical creature so how many muggle cats are also half neasel?

Like why on earth would you invent a world in which you have scores of animals, and also plants, that cannot reasonably consent to secrecy from muggles and the excuse of witch trials falls flat when actual magic exists that should factor into how those witch trials play out but never seems to come up. Anyway, the most unrealistic thing about a universe with magic and dragons and shit is that muggles would somehow never run into and remember a magical creature, there's zero way the wizards could catch every muggle who has seen something and obliviate them that's a herculean task designed to fail I refuse to believe no nifflers have ever stolen some muggles shit enough that they'd know what them little bastards were.

This blog is my house so I can say basically whatever I want but I know I have some esteemed guests and friends who come over a lot and some lurkers who peer into the windows so all my wildest ass wizard shit stays in the locked basement where it belongs because it's common courtesy 💖

THIS IS HUMANITIES 11TH HOUR I THINK KIAN WAS RIGHT. THERE WAS SO MUCH HE COULD HAVE DONE BETTER BUT HE DID IT FOR GREAT REASON. THEIR RELATIONSHIP MAKES ME SO EMOTIONAL. EVEN THE ECHO OF SOMEONE IS IN LOVE WITH YOU, AND THE ECHO OF YOU LOVES THEM TOO. they COPIED A HUMAN DOWN TO THEIR BASIC CIRCUTRY AS A SURVIVAL INSTINCT AND THE VERY WIRES STILL LOVE YOU. ITS THE ATMOSPHERE. ITS THE DISCORDANT AND SAD YET YEARNING CORDS IN THE AIR AS THE SKY REDDENS. ITS A WISH FOR SOMETHING MORE, PRESSING AGAINST INEVITABLE GLASS, CLEARLY NO HOPE OF CONTINUING OR BLOSSOMING. A PAINTING OF A MEMORY THEY WANT TO BE MAKING WITH NO CONCLUSION.

to act like you cant separate some stupid wizard universe from the bigotry the creator imbued in certain aspects of it is a ship of theseus situation i think. you can take out the banking situation, the racistly named characters, the fatphobia, and the slavery. and you could call it a fanwork, you could say "hey i made this story good, actually." or you could say that at this point so much has changed that its essentially a new story. it depends on the perspective

I feel like the best part of The Wizard of Oz is how Dorpthy be straight TWEAKING over her dog.

She be like “Oh toto!” “Toto where are you??” “I just want my dog back!” “C’mon Toto let’s run away!”

And then THIS is toto:

He’s so ugly and it just makes everything so much better 💀

Like girly, I know you love your fuck ugly dog, I love mines too, but he is UGLY UGLY and I feel like you should be made aware of that.
