I can't believe. I actually made more than 6 paragraphs of a fic in a sitting. To think it was all powered by my need to express my headcanons post-wizards.
Had this idea for a while now after watching a simple animation on Tik Tok.
Used the animation for reference and made this. Animation is choppy and art is kind of sloppy and simple, but I think it gets the point across.
Rundown of what’s happening in the video. I know how Nari disguised herself to blend in among humans, but I thought about Bellroc and Skrael doing it too when searching for Nari in the city. This is basically Skrael spotting Nari during a search by himself and thinks she sees him and is happy to see him, but then he sees her with her new friends and he finally has that realization for the first time of Nari drifting away from him and Bellroc.
Shit man, this wizard war is fucked. I just saw a guy clap his hands together and say "the ten hells" or some similar shit, and every one around him turned inside out, had their tibia explode and then disappeared. The camera didn't even go onto him, that's how common shit like this is. My ass is casting frostbite and level 2 poison. I think I just heard "power word:scrunch" two groups over. I gotta get the fuck outta here.
hiring a wizard to break whatever curse is holding henry kissingers shitty body together and laughing with childish glee as he instantly collapses into individual limbs like a lego character
So, obviously classic wizard robes aren’t wheelchair friendly. (Alright, admittedly this isn’t common knowledge and also this definitely isn’t a problem for most but listen, this is a problem for me and I’m pleased to present a solution for it nonetheless.)
The issue is in the sleeves and the length of the robes. The traditional trumpet style allows them to get snagged, dirty, and caught in the wheels.
This is distinctly not an issue with other mobility aids such as canes and crutches, these wizards are fine to carry on with their trumpet sleeves simply rolled up if needed.
Now, one solution might simply to shorten the sleeves and hem to be out of the way, but that looks rather silly so I won’t do that. Instead I propose the more elegant design of a hanging sleeve to maintain that flowy magical feel while allowing for better range of motion.
Honestly I just love the look of hanging sleeves in general and think more people should appreciate them, wheelchair user or not.
