The great majority of people who were killed for witchcraft did not think they were witches. In the majority of cases if they confessed that they were witches it was usually because they were tortured repeatedly and at length in order to obtain a confession, as was the case in the Salem witch trials, for example. These were people who faced horrifying punishment for absolutely no reason, and then were killed. So when you go around wearing a cutsie little shirt talking about the witches you couldn’t burn you are complicit in calling all of these innocent people, even the ones who had something weird going on with them and confessed freely, witches. And they weren’t. You are doing exactly the same thing as all those gross Puritans, or inquisitors. You are being worse than the medieval Catholic Church because at least they would say that witch stuff isn’t real. They weren’t witches. So knock that off.

These shirts with their pictures of women and their references to being a “granddaughter” of the women killed as witches obscure the fact that in those thousands of people killed many were men. This isn’t to say that women didn’t account for a greater number of the people killed, because they did.

Well damn now I want to tell them about witchcraft.

Ruggie: what the hell are you doing?

Yuu: money spell.

R: *looks at the weird jar of random shit that yuu is currently sealing with green wax* ... what?

Y: just trust me bro

And like a week later they randomly get a promotion or a 1000$ art commission or something or just straight up find a stupid amount of money on the ground and rugginald bucchiland is like

Azul comes knocking at their door the next day with the aura of an eager salesman and the intentions of an FBI interrogator

rugginald bucchiland is his official name now, mickey mouse told me himself.

Something I have always wondered about isekai settings is if magic from one world would even work in another because like. Would the forces you are attempting to invoke be able to respond? I like the image of the universe tapping on the window between worlds separating you to try and get your attention because they have some good luck they want to send your way but being unable to make it through.

But assuming it does work I feel like Yuu would need to be in witness protection from Azul. Or like to successfully reverse psychology him into thinking that it wouldn't really be his money if he made it off their spells because he didn't really work for it and strike at his ego a lot little bit.

#<3 asks #twisted wonderland x reader #twst x reader #i need to give you a tag my love you always have such fun asks #i know next to nothing about modern witchcraft #if you want to know what medieval peoples thought i can tell you a stupid amount but despite owning a tarot deck #i know nothing about more modern occult stuff #... the deck was a gift from my sister after my ex dumped me though so does it really count
