Eddie likes making Steve alphabet soup so he can spell out cute (and sometimes saucy) messages for him. Except, a lot of the time, he gets hungry while he’s pasta-writing so Steve ends up with a bowl that tells him “I ove ou” or “yo ave ice ass” but, honestly, as much as Steve might gently tease Eddie for not being able to wait to eat his own food, he always looks forward to ‘decoding’ the messages

I was robbed of what could’ve been an amazing star crossed lovers romance of two people from another world, it didn’t even need to be romance, I just wish that the star could’ve been this amazing character design of a boy with a glowing cape made of a galaxy, instead we got another quirky marketable star plushie that I kept forgetting was in the movie half the time

My thoughts are running around in circles about incantation-less and ingredient-less magic right now, thanks to this panel from Puzzle House:
I had speculated that Claudia's hand-flashlight spell and Viren's candle-lighting spell were perhaps a sort of dark magic cantrip that they'd prepped ahead of time and stored up charges for.
But in this Puzzle House scene, Claudia doesn't categorize the candle-lighting trick as dark magic. She explains that Kpp'ar coined the term "snap magic" and that it was powered by "a 'spark of fun' instead of primal sources or..." or what remains a mystery, because Claudia interrupts herself there and doesn't finish her explanation.
There's an intriguing passage in ToX explaining that experienced* dark mages can cast some "simple" spells, specifically like lighting a candle, without dice rolls (bypassing the pass/fail mechanic of the game); however, it's not clear if that means they wouldn't still have to use a reagent to perform the spell.
--Tales of Xadia, page 147
*"Experienced" dark mages as in, possessing dark magic trauma from the accumulated and untreated stress brought about casting dark magic spells.... Do you really consider that a "spark of fun," Kpp'ar?
The other time I've heard mention of magical sparks is from Lujanne's lecture about arcanums in 2x01 (emphasis mine):
"Wait, what's an arcanum?"
"It's like... the secret of the Primal, or its meaning."
"The secret of the Primal?"
"Yes. That secret becomes a spark. The tiniest possible flicker of a Primal Source inside you. But enough to ignite the world with its magic."
There are two other examples within the show where mages cast spells without voicing a spell or incantation. Every instance where Aaravos casts a spell, he is silent, and Callum is able to cast spells underwater in 5x09 without breathing a word. They both still do need to trace out runes/do some kind of hand-waving for their spellcasting.
So, we have sparks, we have secrets, we have silent mages... and I wish I had more of the pieces to this puzzle, because I can't put together a conclusion.

Thinking about "your weakness is how you always want to be the hero" and how the series returns to this at the end
Li Lianhua hated how he acted as Li Xiangyi and spent years trying to distance himself from it, but ultimately he still fell back into the similar patterns, for all his added experience
His main priority was always to "do the right thing" regardless of how that would impact on those around him. And it *did* impact those around him. From Qiao Wanmian and Shan Gudao as Li Xiangyi to Fang Duobing and Di Feisheng as Li Lianhua
Giving the Styx flower to the emperor so he could use it as leverage to guarantee Fang Duobing and his family's safety. Using the last of his power to save Yun Biqiu. Constantly putting others above himself whilst actively refusing to recognise that his self-sacrificial nature would hurt those he cared about most
And sure, he thinks he's going to die anyway. They're going to be hurt regardless and he can't do anything about that. His odds are low of the Styx flower even working. But ultimately, he refuses to even consider trying. Li Xiangyi has been dead a long time and Li Lianhua is just there to tide things over. What value is the life of a ghost
To the end, he lives and dies a hero. To the end, he refuses to live for himself.

source: goldiejake11 based on a fic by justaboot 'and a sixpence in your shoe'
I'm rereading some of my faves and am hoping to dish out some fic pics based on them.
This one is from chapter 12 of @justaboot 's fic 'and a sixpence in your shoe' an incredible take...and in my humble personal opinion an even BETTER take than the original it was based on: 'Till Nephews Do Us Part from DT'87.

your remus and sirius are actual perfection. i am humbly requesting remus’s fingers in sirius’s mouth, pretty please 🥹💕
This is coming fast and hard just like Remus after that.
Thick fingers, stretching that clever mouth. Not so clever when they’re knuckle deep and training his reflex.

Oh my god. so In the Episode "Prison Escape" of Amphibia, 2 herons (herons in that world are like 50ft tall) attack the South Toad Tower, a large fortress like building used as a kind of military base, and I just found out that a group of herons, is called a SIEGE.

Just realized I never posted this here. Ibn!Misto and Hank!Tugger for when I saw US Tour 6 Cats with @missing-sock-misto in Wyoming!
We were in the front row, and I was super lucky to get to meet both of them after the show and get a print signed. I don’t really have words for what an amazing day it was but I cherish the memory :’D
