Hi Crow! Was wondering, how do you define spell?
That's a good question, and in the past when I've tried to answer it I've gone in like "I've got this 👍" and come out like "Fuck, what IS a spell??"
I tend to think that a spell has to be deliberate...
*starts thinking about the evil eye a little too hard*
Tumblr media
*ahem*
Yeah, probably has to be deliberate... I guess...
Maybe...
But yeah, something like:
intent/focus + power + action = spell
The intent/focus (or whatever you want to call it -- people will get really into semantics about this, and while finding a word with the exact nuance you're looking for here can be helpful, at this point it just makes me tired) is important because it's the reason behind the spell, and hopefully something you feel strongly about, because that feeling can go a long way in making the spell successful. Figuring out good, accurate statements of intent is a big factor for a lot of people. This is, however, not the whole spell, and not the only thing that determines if the spell does what you want it to (more on this later).
The power is what makes the spell go. How you power your spells will depend a bit on your paradigm, but the power can come from spirits, gods, yourself, or something else depending on your framework. You must raise and channel this power to do your bidding, and that's basically what a spell is. Also, depending on your paradigm, this might be a very large, or a practically unnoticeable part of the spell.
The actions part of a spell is really quite variable. Some of the actions involved might be about making offerings to a being you wish to borrow power from (and in this way they might actually be part of the raising power portion of the spell), others are more symbolic of what you'd like to happen to your target. Here's the thing -- if your actions and intent are at odds, then your spell is a lot less likely to do what you're expecting it to do (at least this is my opinion). If you're doing a spell to try to help someone, you probably don't want to make a poppet of them and toss it into an ant hill, for instance.
I'm also liable to change my mind about this in the next 5 minutes... because there is a lot of grey area with things that are magic but not necessarily spells. Or maybe they are spells. I don't know.
Tumblr media
A while back I asked folks to tell me what they considered the anatomy of a spell to be, and to recycle a metaphor I used back then, it was kind of like asking people to tell me how they cook a meal. Some people included things like grocery shopping, setting the table, and doing the dishes after. Some just gave me the basic steps of a recipe. Meanwhile, I was going "Is an apple a meal? Is a chocolate bar a meal??"
I'm still not 100% on what counts as a meal.

Wait, how the fuck does Uncle grandpa work?
I rememberd the show and it's too early for me to mentally process how someone can be both uncle and grandpa to the same person.

i used to attach myself to so many ways of living, like I'm an early riser, a coffee drinker, a runner, a weight lifter, a dog walker, a gardener etc but over the last little while I noticed I have inadvertently created shame around not being who I identify as. I sleep in, or forget to water the garden, or stop working out for a week, and I'm a failure. So instead of letting this cycle continue, I changed my thinking around my own labels of myself. I enjoy these things, I am not these things. I partake in these activities, I am not these activities.

If we ever get Sydcarmy endgame I want to see them crack jokes with each other more, especially during a sex scene if we ever get one, and to see them make each other giggle and fall to pieces and shit. I want them to start sitting next to each other at family, holding hands after the meal or patting/rubbing each other's knees below the table. I want them to throw an arm over each other's shoulders as they brainstorm menu ideas. I want, before they get together, and after they've signed documents to give Sydney an official stake in the restaurant and she shakes the Berzattos' hands, I want Carmy's handshake with her to linger on a little too long and leave him awkward and red as a beet. I want Natalie, Richie, Tina, Ebra, Marcus, Sweeps, Manny, the new staff, Uncle Jimmy, Donna, Sydney's Dad, POTUS, the Vatican, Oprah, and the internet to clock the soft and loving looks that they furtively shoot each other. I want them to have full blown arguments where they don't hold anything back and see them compromise and kiss and make up. I want them to meet each other's families. I want-

might be worth noting that tubbo got lore today because he made it canon he warped back from the boat.
i think this was confusing bc he wasn't sure initially how to play it (he is not a lore guy by trade we all know this), and waffled back and forth with it (with fun bits like "it's tuesday" or "it's a time rift"), but he definitely did make it canon.
he has the story: the boat didn't leave, he had his warpstone. he knew they would just steal him back, like they did the first time.
he has the reason: he desperately needed to see sunny before he left; couldn't sit idly by
and he made it clear that's what he wants to have happened. he told his chat to stop "-rp point"-ing him about it multiple times bc he's trying to make it canon (and told fit the same when he came back post-ghost bit).
he also asked sunny's admin whether she wanted their interactions to be filler or canon and she chose canon
plus he had a canon interaction with forever explaining it and asking him to watch over his daughter
and he and sunny built things and interacted with each other based specifically off the info he was kidnapped, that he will have to go, and that they both knew it was coming
so while you may have to ignore or recontextualize some of the goofier interactions when he initially came back (phil/etoiles/fit stuff esp), tubbo did come back, the code attack did happen, it's already been fit into the lore, and i don't doubt sunny is going to tell fit about it this week!!

I wanna get these TMAGP 8 thoughts written down before the public drops so here's your spoiler warning!
SPOILERS AHEAD
So this "Gifted Kids Program" that the Magnus Institute had is very intriguing. I'm going to throw a thought out there that's kind of a gut feeling, with only OTHER gut feelings to back it up
What if they were trying to make Avatars? I can't help but feel HEAVY Stranger vibes coming from Gerry Keay in this episode. Something was so off about him, and I don't think it's just because he was a much more normal person (apparently, at least) than in TMA. And Sam certainly has tendencies that lean towards The Eye.
I've been trying really REALLY hard not to drag The Fears into this, but this was my gut feeling and I wanted to share. Maybe the new entities (if there are some) parallel The Stranger and The Eye which is why I'm getting those vibes from Gerry and Sam, respectively.

actually, i'm gonna say it;
i'll never forgive the TSP fandom for taking the valid critique of " hey isn't it just a little weird that this character without a form is most often depicted as a conventionally attractive skinny guy "
& turned it into " guys let's not police anybody's designs here that's not cool, everyone's design is valid "
nobody ( competent ) said you HAD to change your designs or that they were bad, they just asked you to consider a very glaringly obvious trope IN the pool of designs, but you had almost everyone bastardizing that message as " policing "
guys, all that was being pointed out was that " conventional attractiveness " seemed / seems to be the norm for a character that doesn't even have a physical description, much less anything that alludes TO him being attractive beyond personal tastes.
we were just asking you to think about that.
