My favorite niche genre of memes are when wizheads adapt real-life controversial events into Wizard101 memes:

I realized there were shooting stars in the storm gates while my friends and I were making our way to Cool Ranch, and…

Then I realized there was no way they could be shooting stars, they were too close— ALL THE GLITTERY STUFF WAS TOO CLOSE.

And then I remembered.

They’re Leylines. That’s mana. We’re traveling on Bartleby’s roots.

I just DESPERATELY want a quest where Fowl breaks out of jail and targets the player bc Ratbeard said in front of him that he cares about us

(also, ideally, Fowl dies this time. Its sweet that Ratbeard spared Fowl bc we spared him first, but like i would be fine if you killed him dude)

Can you explain this gap in your blog history

Okay I’ve come up with a possible solution after sitting on it for a while. The game never states which section of the Rosetta Stone is in Krokotopian, it just says that “the inscription praises Emperor Squakius Maximus in three languages: Old Aquilan, New Aquilan, and Krokotopian.” I naturally took this to mean that the top section is Old Aquilan, the middle section is New Aquilan, and the bottom section is Krokotopian.

However, it could be true that the bottom section is actually New Aquilan, which in our real world means Latin. It actually wouldn’t be unheard of for pirates’ or English men’s tombstones to be written in Latin. So maybe New Aquilan is a sort of Lingua Franca that many people in the Spiral can read. After all, it’s our companions who read aloud the headstones in Skull Island.

I’m not entirely sold on this theory because there is a part of me that still thinks the bottom section is Krokotopian, but it is the theory that makes the most sense.

Also someone pointed out in the tags that Krokotopia probably had different scripts and languages, and honestly I’m disappointed in myself for not realizing that too. In Ancient Egypt, there were two main languages, Demotic and Hieroglyphics, one used colloquially and the other used for religious rituals. It’s entirely possible that Krokotopian Demotic is used on the Rosetta Stone (just like in real life) and Krokotopian Hieroglyphics are used on the chalkboard in the Balance School.

Been a while since I posted but I made an important discovery! Apparently there are gravestones in Skull Island that share the same writing system as the Krokotopian portion of the Rosetta Stone:

I don’t think either are meant to be translated (trust me I tried), but it’s odd that KI recycled the writing system like this. I don’t even know what to think of the lore implications—did Krokotopians reach Skull Island? If so, why does the quest line imply that these gravestones have English pirate names (with terrible puns might I add)?

What’s also weird is that neither of these examples match up with the Krokotopian writing in Wizard101:

This can be found in the Balance School, but it’s also indecipherable. None of the symbols match with the ones on the gravestone or Rosetta Stone, but it’s still heavily implied to be Krokotopian.

aita for trying to summon a god to resurrect my wife?

i (142m) recently lost my wife (139f) to terminal illness. we were married for nearly 127 years, and were survivors of a disaster that destroyed our home city and killed nearly everyone in it. she was my best friend, the love of my life, and the light of my world. i’ve spent months trying to move on, but the pain of losing her has only grown stronger since her death, with my grief eventually leading me to quit my job and travel in the hopes of finding something else to live for. i will be upfront in admitting that, in the process of quitting, i blew up the school i worked at (no one was hurt), almost killed my assistant (he’s fine), and released a bunch of monsters from the abandoned gated community i had contained them in a few decades prior (long story).

anyway, during my travels i came across a relic that contained immense necromantic power, but i quickly realized that i would be unable to utilize it for my purposes on my own, as my wife had been dead for several months by that time and was well past the point of resurrection by conventional means. long story short, i decided to harness the power of the same god that caused the disaster that destroyed my and my wife’s former home.

as it turns out, my former boss (????m) picked up a kid (13x) off the street around the same time this was happening, and tasked my brother (also 142m, we’re twins) with teaching them magic. i won’t bore you with the details, but this thirteen year old now keeps following me around and fucking up my plans to reunite with my true love, which i’m frankly tired of.

(side note: this kid also won a fighting competition that hasn’t been won by someone from our school since i attended. i need to remind you, they are thirteen. i’m not certain they’d ever used magic before my boss picked them up, so i have no idea how this possibly could have happened, or when they had the time to even attend the fights since they’ve seemingly dedicated the majority of their time to fucking me over for no good reason.)

my ex-boss seems to think that summoning this being is a “bad idea” and could “destroy the world,” but 1. i’m doing it in my already ruined hometown and 2. i think that the world is a small price to pay to have my wife back. it’s not like it’s worth much without her in it, anyway.

edit: shut up about the fucking giant tree it’s an unrelated current event. you can’t prove that i actually did anything to him, and it’s rude to accuse people baselessly

Omg @queerlycarter YES! I bet the construction workers too can be like the Marleybonian ones in wizard city that dig around the drains. It’s like anti-colonialism and anti-capitalism but also pro-environment. It has so much potential

Wizard101 world concept where it’s just a big garden. There are caterpillars, ladybugs, worms, squirrels, hummingbirds, chipmunks, moles, etc. It’s cute and you get to run around big flower beds and climb up trees. It can be where the photomancy lady and the gardening moles and the castle turtles come from. It can be cottagecore too. Everything is just cute.
