When you backread through a fun conversation you had with someone for hours an angel gets its wings

#I was talking to my brother about Norman doors and I had fun in my UX class and he was telling me about demon cores and the trolley problem #in his class. AND I remembered to take my meds today so I can feel every cell in my body. i can feel the neurons rubbing together #and yesterday I infodumped about the specialists bullseye chart to crow and how it ties with witch hat atelier #WHICH I MANAGED TOGET THEM TK READ IM SO HAPPY. I MAKE SQUEALING GUINEA PIG NOISES EVERY TIME THEY TELL ME WHAT THEYVE READ SO FAR. AHH #i might not even be scratching the surface with witch hat there are so many themes i could not possibly fathom or go over my heasd #and thats what makes it so exciting there are so many spaces in between that you can fill with your thoughts and i. i #waves my hands around manically #for anyone interested in my insane ramblings. the bullseye chart is from are we all scientific experts now by harry collins #in my own words its basically saying everything we know about anything is a game of broken telephone #and it discusses how information gets lost in translation between experts and laymen including things that arent in control #one of the main points was how things that happen between experts are complicated including debates and findings #that you can only really understand thru research and experience in that field and cant be smoothly shared without it being reworded #and risking some of those key points. or even concepts that are hard to understand that cant be shared at all #like if you tried to tell me about how DNA works using words scientists are familiar with but i am NOT- i risk missing concepts that i need #to understand to know how it works on the level you understand. or i risk having it reworded and understanding it but not on that level #AND IT DOES TIE TO WITCH HAT THE WITCH AND NORMAL FOLK COMMUNITIES I PROMISE. ITS SO INTERESTING #anyway i spent hours reading back thru that conversation and i might as well admit it goes for almost every fun conversation i have #and it might be the 20mg of adderall in my body but i am in such a state of peace and love i have to verbalize it. ahh #yapping

Toh is about idealistic dreams, learning that the real thing is far from perfect, and then learning to be ok with it by either finding beauty in the imperfections or letting it go.

#it is about Luz jumping right in demon realm expecting to have the fantasy adventure she wanted #only to realize it wasnt what she imagined it to be and learning to be ok with it #it is about amity wanting so desperately to be the best of the best expected to be a strong witch #and then letting the notion go realizing there are things far more precious than perfection #it's about so many witches like Lilith and Steve doing everything to get into Emperor's coven including sacrificing everything #(Lilith with curse and steve hinted to have given up his palisman) #And then regretting it and leaving to have a better life #It's about Belos expecting to be welcomed back after killing witchkind #it's about him not being able to move on from his image of demon realm as this evil forsaken place that needs to be purged #It's about him repeatedly cloning his brother looking for one who wld be exactly like the original #and yet simultaneously wanting that clone to choose him over the boiling isles #said caleb abd grimwalkers always choose the magic and boiling isles perhaps the only thing they all had in common #And just there are so many examples about it i'm literally going insane #cant add all of them in tags but trust me there are #luz noceda #amity blight #lilith clawthorne #toh lilith #toh steve #philip wittebane #emperor belos #the owl house #toh

Demon!Omori design for a silly little au that’s kinda been lingering in the back of my head for some time

Local 12 year old boy so lonely due to constant practice from his overbearing sister that he summons himself a demon friend

#omori #omori au #omori omori #omori (character) #i call the au a silly one cause its one that i dont take super seriously. its mostly fun times #omori's just a mostly chill guy who likes hanging out with sunny #i mean as chill as a demon can be lol #siren art #oh right i was gonna include a collection of doodles like i did with my witch sunny stuff #but i did one doodly and then just wasnt really feeling it #oh well

I do relate to olivia rodrigo in some ways for example I did have nightmares each week (every day for months) after that phone call in may (march). I fantasize (once every other blue moon) about a time where you're a little fucking sorry. except I do not hold my undying love (there is not even an iota of love, if there ever was) like a grudge and also I will never ever forgive bc you were indeed filled with vitriol. and unfortunately I also cannot let it go. it was six months (three years) of torture. I did NOT love you truly and I cannot laugh at the stupidity. I may have made some real big mistakes but you do indeed make the worst one look fine. like..............

#sorry i know this is cringe and something i should just journal about #ive just had a very shitty day and also kinda week #ive just been tired and lethargic for no clear reason for the past five days and it's very frustrating #bc i have homework due tomorrow that ive barely made any progress on #and i kinda rly need an A in this class to maintain my gpa. so if one bad week means i tank this assignment and get a B in this class #oh dread. unspeakable unsurmountable dread #also i went on a walk in the park w my mom which i haven't done in a bit and i just was unable to stop thinking #about my high school demon of a boyfriend who lives nearby. altho he literally never goes outside i sometimes get rly freaked out #and panicky that i might see him and have to deal with him again. like he did call (AND TEXT?!?🤢) me last march #and i was having nightmares for months after and feeling so paranoid that he might randomly show up at my house one day #bc that's the kind of shit he used to do regularly when we were dating to keep me from breaking up w him #and like ughhhhhhhhhh it just makes me so upset bc he literally would have the audacity. #it's just upsetting. i am soooo nonviolent as a person but when i think of him i suddenly feel not very nonviolent #again my apologies i know this should be journaled about instead. sorry u had to see all this #feel free not to read these tags like this is just for me. apologies. #while im here some other songs that make me think of him include would've could've should've. atw10 but only the terrible parts #uhh better by myself by hey violet is incredibly on the nose #also it's actually just a rly great song. also get out of my life by little hurt. okay im done now. #gonna go find something funny and cute to watch. maybe little witch academia. #sorry if u read all this 😵‍💫

I just watched Howls Moving Castle for the first time and I can officially say… I get it.

#that is a he/him lesbian and also I love Sophie #did they ever explain why Markl was there? Did Howl just steal him or something? #anyway I’m a hoe for the most wack found families that include the witch that cursed you a literal fire demon and the ugliest dog ever #also the scarecrow who is really a prince who’s in love with the main girl who spent most of the film as a senior citizen

[vampyre-rat]

#rat watches :3 #supernatural #fr like eXCUSEEEE ME #he would NOT DO THAT!! #like he’ll give literally EVEERYONE FUCKING ELSE the benefit of the doubt but not jack?? #some of his closest allies and FRIENDS are demons and witches etc #but god forbid he at least just be NICE to this child who is so obviously scared and alone and seeking guidance #when every child ever makes him immediately go into intense over protective dad mode #INCLUDING THE ACTUAL ANTICHRIST THAT ONE TIME #like its been a while since i watched that ep but im p sure he was gunning for that kid NOT being killed by cas #like i guess hes been thru a lot since then #and ppl change etc etc #but STILL MAN!!!

On the one hand, it's true that the way Dungeons & Dragons defines terms like "sorcerer" and "warlock" and "wizard" is really only relevant to Dungeons & Dragons and its associated media – indeed, how these terms are used isn't even consistent between editions of D&D! – and trying to apply them in other contexts is rarely productive.

On the other hand, it's not true that these sorts of fine-grained taxonomies of types of magic are strictly a D&D-ism and never occur elsewhere. That folks make this argument is typically a symptom of being unfamiliar with Dungeons & Dragons' source material. D&D's main inspirations are American literary sword and sorcery fantasy spanning roughly the 1930s through the early 1980s, and fine-grained taxonomies of magic users absolutely do appear in these sources; they just aren't anything like as consistent as the folks who try to cram everything into the sorcerer/warlock/wizard model would prefer.

For example, in Lyndon Hardy's "Five Magics" series, the five types of magical practitioners are:

Alchemists: Drawing forth the hidden virtues of common materials to craft magic potions; limited by the fact that the outcomes of their formulas are partially random.

Magicians: Crafting enchanted items through complex manufacturing procedures; limited by the fact that each step in the procedure must be performed perfectly with no margin for error.

Sorcerers: Speaking verbal formulas to basically hack other people's minds, permitting illusion-craft and mind control; limited by the fact that the exercise of their art eventually kills them.

Thaumaturges: Shaping matter by manipulating miniature models; limited by the need to draw on outside sources like fires or flywheels to make up the resulting kinetic energy deficit.

Wizards: Summoning and binding demons from other dimensions; limited by the fact that the binding ritual exposes them to mental domination by the summoned demon if their will is weak.

"Warlock", meanwhile, isn't a type of practitioner, but does appear as pejorative term for a wizard who's lost a contest of wills with one of their own summoned demons.

Conversely, Lawrence Watt-Evans' "Legends of Ethshar" series includes such types of magic-users as:

Sorcerers: Channelling power through metal talismans to produce fixed effects; in the time of the novels, talisman-craft is largely a lost art, and most sorcerers use found or inherited talismans.

Theurges: Summoning gods; the setting's gods have no interest in human worship, but are bound not to interfere in the mortal world unless summoned, and are thus amenable to cutting deals.

Warlocks: Wielding X-Men style psychokinesis by virtue of their attunement to the telepathic whispers emanating from the wreckage of a crashed alien starship. (They're the edgy ones!)

Witches: Producing improvisational effects mostly related to healing, telepathy, precognition, and minor telekinesis by drawing on their own internal energy.

Wizards: Drawing down the infinite power of Chaos and shaping it with complex rituals. Basically D&D wizards, albeit with a much greater propensity for exploding.

You'll note that both taxonomies include something called a "sorcerer", something called a "warlock", and something called a "wizard", but what those terms mean in their respective contexts agrees neither with the Dungeons & Dragons definitions, nor with each other.

(Admittedly, these examples are from the 1980s, and are thus not free of D&D's influence; I picked them because they both happened to use all three of the terms in question in ways that are at odds with how D&D uses them. You can find similar taxonomies of magic use in earlier works, but I would have had to use many more examples to offer multiple competing definitions of each of "sorcerer", "warlock" and "wizard", and this post is already long enough!)

So basically what I'm saying is giving people a hard time about using these terms "wrong" – particularly if your objection is that they're not using them in a way that's congruent with however D&D's flavour of the week uses them – makes you a dick, but simply having this sort of taxonomy has a rich history within the genre. Wizard phylogeny is a time-honoured tradition!

"For I am the Good Witch Azura, Warrior of Peace!"

Quoting the fantasy she isn't a part of, but hopes to be.

"For I am Luz the Human, Warrior of Peace!"

Including herself in the fantasy now that she has a chance, albeit with the acknowledgement she isn't a witch.

"For I am the Good Witch Luz, Hunter of Monsters!"

Fully recognizing herself as a witch.

"For I am the Good Witch Luz, Child of the Human Realm, Student of the Demon Realm, and Warrior of Peace!"

Acknowledging not just herself as a witch, but as a human; These are not irreconcilable, and both defy Belos despite his claims to eradicate one for the other. Luz makes sure to specify herself as the result of those around her, who helped Luz get to this point. Luz has finally achieved the fantasy, and she’s grinning this time; No need to act dignified, Luz has won and she’s allowed to have fun and enjoy it. She’s earned this.
