What is the difference between a witch and a wizard

Both could generally refer to any gender of mage, but certain authors of recent infamy decided that one is female and one is male. Hence this scene from a movie that I can't believe is over 20 years old:

I do not care what comes after; I have seen the dragons on the wind of morning.

Round 2 Part 4 Poll 4

Propaganda

Ged's a wizard he's bisexual and he loves his boat so much. He's sailed around the world on his beloved little boat and learned everything about sailing even though he could've just used magic because it brought him joy. I just like him a lot. Also he talks to dragons

Jonny is an immortal (die and come back, regenerative immortality) pirate who commandeered the Aurora for himself and the woman who made him immortal. She proceeded to make several other people immortal, who all joined the crew, until they threw her out the airlock (several times. She left of her own free will as a result of this). Jonny declared that, as the original member, he was captain now. Everyone decided to ignore him. He introduces himself as ""your humble captain"" every performance, and every performance Tim (another crew member) and usually the entire audience yells "first mate!" He once said "so she came to the closest thing we have to a captain: myself" only for it to cut to the situation in question to show that he had no control at all. Even the starship doesn't see him as the captain (she's sentient. Also a lesbian! I love her). Captain struggles aside, he's so fun. He once committed every single crime on a planet (except the sex crimes). He had an arrest warrant out with the reason "just arrest the fucker". He has a whole post-patricide harmonica solo. He's fantastic

A wizard of Earthsea, by Ursula K Leguin is the first book of the Earthsea Cycle.

“Back then, in 1967, wizards were all, more or less, Merlin and Gandalf. Old men, peaked hats, white beards. But this was to be a book for young people. Well, Merlin and Gandalf must have been young once, right? And when they were young, when they were fool kids, how did they learn to be wizards? And there was my book.”

* * * *

“Ged had neither lost nor won but, naming the shadow of his death with his own name, had made himself whole: a man: who, knowing his whole true self, cannot be used or possessed by any power other than himself, and whose life therefore is lived for life's sake and never in the service of ruin, or pain, or hatred, or the dark.”

― Ursula K. Le Guin, A Wizard of Earthsea

Her hair fell long and straight like a fall of black water. Ged thought her very ugly.

First finished painting for my Earthsea art project! And my first time painting people in gouache... a little intimidating haha ^^ There’s more sketches and stuff on my patreon (link in pinned post)! Please reblog my art if you like it!

More and more I wish Earthsea had got the adaptation it deserved. An adaptation that loved and valued the incredible power of these books. An adaptation that captured the heart of Earthsea, it's gentle, stern atmosphere, it's passion and it's fire. And most importantly, an adaptation NOT JUST FULL OF WHITE PEOPLE. It's insulting.

Nowadays, fantasy adaptations are so key to bringing a fanbase and attention to older works. So this is my plea - read them! They're such incredible works of fiction, with POC mains and queer characters. If you're a fan of LOTR or WOT this is your jam. If you like Brandon Sanderson or James Islington, give it a go.

If they've passed you by, or you've never got round to reading them, this is your sign.

READ EARTHSEA

I'm reading A Wizard of Earthsea and I really liked Ged, a little bit of my vision I would also scribble other characters at my leisure from there, I hope it happens (the staff seems to be a show-off, but okay, I like It haha)

Round 5: Match 2 of 4

(Battle of the Literary Wizards)

PROPAGANDA UNDER THE BREAK

Why they deserve to be the ultimate wizard according to YOU:

Ged:

Vanquished (so far): Raistlin Majere, Marcia Overstrand, Magnus Bane, Carter Kane

"Just to reiterate: he raised the dead in highschool, speaks dragon language, and fixed death"

"the only archmage who learnt that being a goatherd was undoubtedly superior."

"Btw can turn into a dragon. No biggie. In a world where any transformation is extremely high tier magic."

"His emotional arc of learning to accept his flaws and also to be more humble is just… so relatable"

"Vote for him. Vote for his big stick. Vote for his birds. Vote for his degree. Vote for his evil shadow self."

"This man is truly tapped into powers that are old and deep and dangerous. and he is also. crucially. just some guy"

"VOTE GED or your ass is getting stranded in the tombs"

"Ged didn't become archmage and then quit to go herd goats to lose a poll bracket"

"ged literally became archmage like acknowledged as the greatest mage in earthsea and decided to go live out his days herding goats."

Gandalf:

Vanquished (so far): Saruman, Tom Bombadil, Howl Pendragon

"Big naturals"

"gandalf is like. THE wizard"

"gandalf obviously. with AND without his huge naturals"

"gandalf sweep. he is the blueprint"

"My heart belongs to the grey wizard ... a wanderer who chooses to embrace the small things in life and who fights not because he seeks domination but to protect the selfsame small things

"When you hear wizard, there's an 85% chance you think of Gandalf"

"do it for them (gandalf’s tiddies)"

"cmon be honest u think wizard u think something gandalflike first"

“No other wizards shall pass him”

“Its Gandalf"
