Do you think in like, an urban fantasy setting, with a modern lab and chemistry knowledge you could brew super specific potions? Imagine getting a C on your lab final for Potions 238 because you didn’t balance your equation correctly and accidentally added 4 mols of salamander blood when you only needed 2. You lose points for incorrect titration, leading your potion of invisibility to last 10 minutes instead of 20. Would you treat each magical component as its own element/ compound or would you have to break it down into organic molecules? What does “enchanted” MEAN in terms of reactance!!! These are the real questions!!

#ngl might write this actually #urban fantasy wizard school #but like #science magic setup #brought to you by me struggling to study for finals and realizing wizard college students would also be struggling #despite magic there’s always a deep level of stuff to study #writing prompt #writing #fantasy #writeblr #urban fantasy #college #chemistry

*wakes up in a cold sweat* I should create a Victoria/Raven Leader fanchild *falls back asleep immediately*

#only problem is that the kid would have SOOOOO many issues I’d have to consider #child of divorce one mother fucked off to live in a lab the other pays more attention to the kids at work #and then the lab mother manages to fuck even FURTHER off. to the FAIRY REALM.#no but I’m actually forming a Concept now. this kid who maybe had a happy childhood with their mothers until Victoria fucked up imensely #and then maybe studies something that mixes science and magic in college to try and get their mother back?????#… perfect age and context to interact with the one and only Leanne Liu… if you know what I mean….#they’d also be like. created by Victoria’s science ofc #if she can create the Nisse creature she can make same sex breeding work for sure

Thank you so much for the tarot reading you did for me a little while back 💜 i'm sorry it's taken me so long to say that! i do rather think you have prophetic gifts, by the way- it was spookily accurate and helped me a lot 🔮

No problem! I'm glad it was helpful to you!

I do tend to get at least one message like this every time I do a tarot night for my followers, and like... you are totally entitled to that belief! What do I know about psychic phenomena and prophecy anyway? lmao. Maybe I am psychic.

But personally, I believe that tarot has a high likelihood of speaking to us no matter what, if just because the archetypal nature of the cards means that they're dealing with problems that we all struggle with. We all have self-doubt, we all have complicated relationships with money, we all crave love of some kind. We all have trauma in our past and we all want to believe that this time, things could be okay.

One of the reasons I like tarot cards is because they are inanimate objects that we imbue with meaning. They were just playing cards, y'know? We're the ones that gave them power over us, and we did that by filling them with our own stories. We placed a mirror in those cards, and while mirrors can be used for scrying, they can also just be used to take a good hard look at ourselves.

If I say "oh, you've had money troubles in the past," who doesn't that apply to? Maybe I'm thinking about me, when we were homeless for a while when I was a kid. Maybe someone else is thinking about the money they lost to gambling last week. Maybe someone else, someone wildly wealthy, is thinking about a stock market crash that brought their five mansions down to two. Maybe a final person has just never had quite enough to make ends meet. God knows that describes a lot of people.

I like tarot because we can all look at the same spread and see something different. I see a story to tell to the best of my ability, and that's how I do readings. But for the people getting those readings, they're often looking into little mirrors and seeing how they reflect their own personal experiences.

Because, you know, we all see different things in the same mirror! That's how tarot works, I think. Maybe some people are a little better at reading things in that mirror and interpreting what they see there, but we all see something new and different and deeply, deeply personal when we look at those cards.

Love that for us.

#that's what I eventually ended up studying in college btw #the way people construct personalized belief systems and vernacular religion #I got into religious studies to make sense of the world after I got out of an abusive religious background #and people always ask me what religion I am now #and I always say... y'know... I don't know what I believe #I don't know if magic exists or ESP or the supernatural or any number of deities #I don't know if I fully believe anything anymore #but I do believe in the power of stories #how we tell them and why we tell them and the parts of us that we mix into them to bolster their power #stories can ease a broken heart or they can be used to launch a war #they can create a belief system or tear one apart #we tell stories to make meaning out of the senselessness around us but we use them to CREATE meaning too #and sometimes the meaning that we create can last for centuries #they can make a little pack of playing cards into something that I was forbidden to touch when I was a child #that I was too scared to even be in the room with until I was in college #and the stories I tell myself instead can reframe those cards as something lovely I can collect #that help me make sense of the world in all kinds of ways #by helping me understand the emotions at the root of our experiences #and the stories we tell to give voice to them #and make them material; a thing we can finally touch #idk I'm rambling a bit but! those are my thoughts on the matter!!#replies #tarot #tarot shenanigans

How do you think Medb feels about Emiya ?

Cú and Medb have a lot of overlap in what they think a hero should be (except not exactly because she doesn’t completely understand Cú and gets frustrated because of it), but Medb would probably find political value in someone who fights from the shadows.

In her myths, she’s known for her “pillow talk” with Ailill which was actually just him negging her by “jokingly” telling her that she’s lucky to be married to him, that he’s richer than her, and that her wealth doesn’t count because she’s a woman and can be taken from her at anytime.

Medb doesn’t let him talk down to her, which pisses him off because he’s been envious that she, a woman, has more political power as the queen, than him. (Connacht is typically ruled by queens) Ailill breaking her 3 expectations of a husband (kind, brave, and wouldn’t be envious of her) and then comparing their wealth obviously leads to the events of the war.

In America, she rules with Cu Alter, who is apathetic and gruff, but they generally work fine together. They don’t always agree on what they should do, but they communicate and hear each other out (something Medb hardly does with other characters.) It’s very clear that Medb is the ruling authority, and Alter doesn’t have any problem taking the side role and being on the front lines. It’s a stark difference with her marriage, so it’s incredibly important that her husband or comrades aren’t the power hungry types.

So it’s not too much of an extreme for her to work with someone like Alter and then someone like Emiya or Emiya Alter imo. She wouldn’t consider the latter as a king because she has no personal experience or vendetta against him, but he’s got the right personality and disposition of someone who she’d grow to trust enough to fight for her.

Instead of the wicked king and queen dynamic she has with Cú Alter, she’d have more of a dark lady and knight/bodyguard with Emiya, who’d no doubt reject any power or wealth she’d offer him and would just keep doing his job. She might find his idea of being a hero amusing and fascinating that she’d interject herself in his life. He’s mellowed out in Chaldea though, so his protective nature and willingness to scold her might make her heart race to the point that she’s confused because he’s totally not her type!!!!!!!! (He is kind of her type, whether politically or romantically)

#magical college girl medb #nameless on the battlefield #I don’t study Emiya enough to know the deep intricacies of his psyche #but I do know Medb loves mischaracterizing people #and she’s intrigued by people who aren’t like the masses #so I think Emiya would definitely be someone she’d find interesting and would want to dissect his brain to understand him #and then she just would not understand because she has no idea how to communicate on a personal level because she withholds info lmao #causing a cycle of wanting to know and thinking she knows and getting surprised by what she doesn’t know and wanting to know more #long post #I just woke up so if it’s confusing to read that’s why lmao

one thing abt being disabled/chronically ill that some people don’t get is that sometimes body maintenance that ensures you have the absolute minimum amount of function can also be something that takes away a lot of control and autonomy. you can argue till the cows come home that making those decisions to try and help yourself (or realistically to try to make sure things aren’t worse than they already are) is something that exhibits control and autonomy and stuff, but they can be so limiting in practice because they’re things that take up so much time but have to be done to do anything else

#i have to sleep a lot. i’m at the point where functioning requires 8 hours of sleep if not more #I should probably be getting 10+ but i’m a student and i work so 8 is the minimum. but then also getting ready for bed is a whole process s #the whole thing can take 10-12 hours depending how much im sleeping. just to make sure i can do anything #that is time in my day i cannot use for anything else. it’s not ‘oh but i can push through it’ because i can’t without spending the next da #lightheaded and nauseous and vaguely dizzy and with such intense brain fog I can’t think with my fatigue so bad i genuinely don’t know how #get myself to work a lot of days. my abled peers don’t have to deal with this at all. they have unlimited study time if they want to #and yeah it is a choice i’m making that’s true i could just not do. except i would lose my job and fail out of college because i would not #be able to get to classes or do my homework or think. but being told ‘but you are making choices about your life’ when i have lost so much #of what i used to be able to do because i am spiralling down and continuing to get worse is so.#literally last year i would wake up at 6:30 and then go to school till 3 and then go to my internship until 10 and get home at 11 and be in #bed anywhere from midnight to two in the morning and then wake up the next day and do it all again. i graduated with a 3.9 gpa and made it #into my top college while dealing with my cancer symptoms and then the two surgeries about it #but now i lose half my day to just making sure i can get out of bed. i can’t go anywhere because my body is physically too exhausted #any extra time goes into doing homework or occasionally time to myself #not decimating my health by doing minimum body care responsibilities isn’t freeing. occasionally i have a good day which is freeing but tha #usually goes into just. other things outside class or work or eating. I don’t go do something for myself or go do something fun on good day #because I still can’t. good days just mean i don’t want to lie down on the pavement when i’m going somewhere #I just. I don’t magically have control over my life because i try to get enough sleep. i lose half my day to doing that and ultimately it’s #just a bodily function that would have to happen anyway #this is a vent post im just having a really hard time right now because it feels like im in exponential decline. it was nowhere near this #bad last semester. my grades are tanking and i have no free time because anything outside of sleep is either work or school #vent tw #yall can rb this just ignore my tags completely #disability #chronically ill #i keep trying to explain to people how pots works because that’s all logical but there’s no way to explain what it’s doing to my body or ho #i feel all the time. the last time i felt this bad was when i had a bad flu or immediately after surgeries because i don’t react well to #anesthesia and always come out of them feeling like shit. and now i just feel like this all the time and it’s only getting worse #I can’t even stay up late anymore because my body feels like it isn’t counting the sleep even if I get 8 hours #I can deal if I have a free day the day after but that just leaves Friday and Saturday nights and I usually still have to do homework

Now that my dripping nose has slowed down and im feeling more myself, i want to draw, and. Well. Drawing with ADD when focus requires more effort than usual (sick!) is like:

Want to draw, but brain not cooperating, need something in the background to satisfy that restlessness, turn on tv show

Tv show somehow not enough to settle down??? After one episode thoughts still circling to other things. Change tv show.

Second tv show STILL not working. Suddenly brain changes track to thinking about something random.

Switch to a documentary about that random thing. Ten minutes in discover that this is too literal

Switch to a movie vaguely related to the thing.

Movie works for about two hours. Then it ends. Very frustrating, need to find new thing.

Decide to switch to music. Absolutely not working. Doesn't satisfy that ‘ive been alone in the house and i need human interaction’ itch. :/

Attempt to listen to an audio book. Sickly and feeble brain cannot hear words spoken in a dull voice anymore they become a distant hum that does absolutely nothing to help. Why do all audiobooks have the worst readers? The only exception to this is joe mazz*llo and i suspect its cause he's an actor. Or i just like his voice in a southern accent, who knows.

Finally accidentally stumble on a well written tv show with (THANK YOU) over 10 episodes an hr long each that will sooth your restless soul and let you draw for the rest of the day, wow. It only took like...four hours to do this.

FUNNY ENOUGH? The best background distraction to get me in the drawing zone ever turns out to be live hockey. But it has to be live, it can't be a game where i already know the outcome. And it has to be a team i care about. Like i know i would joke about listening to the games at work and how they were distracting but the truth is beyond taking breaks to type out commentary ocassionally live hockey worked like what i imagine adderall would be like to make my brain fucking focus. I absolutely did not expect that. Something about how its happening LIVE combined with needing to know all the terminology combined with my brain in the background trying to vizualize the action on ice while vizualizing the stuff im working on just...is peak attention span for me. :/ brains are so fucking weird. (try explaining to your boss that your productivity every other day decreased at work because the penguins got booted out of the playoffs and that was what you were using to focus for like...months.)(i dont know what im going to do now that the rangers are in the same boat :/)

#Journal shit #Once upon a time when i was in high school the ONLY thing that could get me to focus was music #I had a casette tape (haha remember those) that i would play while doing math and one i would play while doing science #I hated math and science it was the only thing (beyond my dad being terrifying) that could get me motivated to get A's in that stupid class #That music trick stopped working by the time college rolled around #BUT luckily in college there was this magic thing called study groups #Where suddenly i was surrounded with friends and not lonely and computer science became fun???????
