A thing that bothers me about wizard schools in popular media – outside of the magic-grade-school stuff, anyway – is that they're typically depicted as being basically magic universities, but their actual curricula and pedagogical approaches look much more like those of a technical institution. Like, buddy, that's not a wizard university, that's a wizard trade school. You can't just slap university student culture on top of trade school pedagogy. It doesn't work like that – the one emerges from the other!

14. that one thing you see in fics all the time this is a personal stylistic preference, rather than a inviolable rule laid down by god, but if i open a fic and see "the Monégasque" or "the taller man" or w/e i am probably closing that tab, it just grates at my brain.
i will also take this opportunity to note that the adjective form of the adverb "gingerly" is in fact "gingerly":)) "He laid a ginger hand--" no he didn't, not unless he'd just been cooking
19. you're mad/ashamed/horrified you actually kind of like... answered here!
I made a joke about Royal Affairs characters as dogs, told myself I would not spend hours working out what character would be what dog, and now I cannot stop thinking about it
I am begging you, before reblogging a political post of any kind, no matter how likely the message seems, however good it feels to see a take that fits your innate biases, at least:
run a search
read a couple of articles about it from different media outlets
check the wikipedia page, including the talk page (a great place to find out if there are controversies raging)
If you don't have time to do that, then you don't have time to reblog it and share misinformation to other busy stressed people.
it seemed that searching three words allows you to find all posts containing those three words
with two words, it seemed that both words have to be in tags, or else it doesn't work. maybe unless the post is popular
but what if i write a really long tag? the maximum limit is 139 characters per tag
i did this experiment in this post
i concluded that if your search contains common words, for example "what write really", it only retrieves certain posts where those words are in the text
for uncommon/nonexisting words in the text of your post such as "brasput yabet mituarb", you can find your post by searching just 1 word
for two words in any of the tags, it retrieves the post, even if the words are common. for example "eat above"
New art friends and old. @marcherarrant and a plant piece from Groucho going together like rainy days and coffee. I can hear the train whistle through the window as I type.
Hey proko, with the fairy vs walrus debate going on, did you forget extremely portable baby walruses exist? That seems kind of an oversight for the tax law loophole guy of tumblr.
If you're allowed to go "what if the walrus is a baby", I'm allowed to go "what if the fairy is just a guy with no obviously supernatural attributes", and we're right back where we started. This is one of those scenarios where sophistry perfectly cancels itself out unless you arbitrarily stipulate that only one side is allowed to engage in it.
