#teach me your magic ways

[nadunacreates]

new Wednesday headcanon unlocked: she's a total troll and probably has a secret cell phone & twitter account squirreled away somewhere. 

How else would you explain that the same Wednesday who “refuses to be a slave to technology” and “doesn't have a phone” also knows, within hours of meeting, about the bad punctuation and grammar of Enid’s vlog, other than having watched it herself? Also, she says that Enid’s followers are “clearly imbeciles” who respond to Enid’s stories with “insipid little pictures” — which you would only find out about by stalking the comments. 

And how else could Wednesday look at Enid and immediately have “the following emojis come to mind: rope, shovel, hole”? Wednesday has to know that these are options in the emoji-catalog, which even I wouldn't have been able to tell you off the top of my head. 

TLDR: Wednesday's got us all fooled. Prove me wrong :D

Bonus: “if you're going to gossip about me, at least spell my name correctly.” Are these professional gossiping-standards you want to uphold there, Wednesday? Hm?

#wednesday #wednesday addams #wednesday hcs #wenclair #wednesday x enid #you don't absorb this kind knowledge just by co-existing with other teenagers in a high school do you? #and the fact that she uses enid's laptop to facetime tyler just confirms that for me #why would she give out her own number if enid's is right there? #oh and this is tagged wenclair because you know enid is going to find out #sooner or later #and she'll have a field day with it #especially the twitter account #i admit there's nothing to back me up there #but i imagine wednesday will immensely enjoy the ever-burning hellscape of that site #also these quotes are all from the first episode #i tried to get screen caps but i am literally unable to #netflix keeps blocking me no matter what i try :( #how do you all get the material for your gifs etc?? #teach me your magic ways #but i found this gif instead that's also nice #thanks! #and once again my tags are longer than the post #oops my bad #do with this headcanon what you will #and i'd love to hear your opinions! #i may be seeing things by now #because i'm procrastinating writing my fic by watching it again for the 3rd time #and a lot of my fic-canon has mixed with the actual canon for me oops #e.g. the twitter account. we will be seeing that one again ^^

remember there was a time when i said i wouldn't know how to quit tumblr

( there's a small rant going on in the tags but the point is i miss it here ok and i hope everyone's having a splendid day / week / month and your favourite treat is on sale bc you deserve it )

#// i would like to thank my parents and teachers and everyone who convinced me to be a doctor #// i now have raging depriety and gastritis and there are firecrackers in my knees everytime i even slightly bend them #// i also cry when people are nice to me bc i'm used to being treated like i'm a dumbass b*tch #// and people refuse to teach you how to handle things so that when there are urgent situations they can take time to insult you #// instead of idk give instructions/orders what to do to be useful #// like if you really wanted to do everything yourself just shut up and do it it's quicker that way #// ' what are you doing ' idk waiting for you to send the link to access your brain and download the information we should magically know #// also bc i already have a diagnosis it's more tricky to ask for a leave for some reason #// bc apparently it'll easily become ' proof ' that i'm not fit for the job after all and 7 years of hard work and money will go to waste #// and i haven't even gotten my first paycheck #// so of course it would be better to wait my turn for 2.5 hours at the ED with a ' less severe ' diagnosis for the day #// like oh no my tummy hurts so much for some reason today but it's totally not bc of anxiety pfft what's an anxiety

i think that the fact that you can just become a professor just with experience in your field and basically no TEACHER training is bafling to me

#yeah your research is cool and you COULD teach me about it #doesnt me you are equiped to do it in an effective way #just bcs we´re no longer kids doesnt mean you magically know how to teach ppl

Finally got a blender off fb marketplace today!! Now enter: the era of mediocre smoothies. Wish I could make a good smoothie but tbh I don’t think I’ve ever made one that was actually good. But alas. Also blended coffees, they’re my favorite so I’m excited to finally be able to make them.

#it’s a learning curve for sure #the one I made tonight is mango strawberry and plain yogurt #I would have added papaya but I couldn’t find one :( #aldi has had them all December and January but none today #also I don’t have any bananas yet because I steal them from the dining center #it’s a magic bullet blender so they’re personal size which is nice #but you do have to cut everything into small pieces to get it to blend #if you make good smoothies please teach me your ways

oh my god i'm so in love with all the fic ideas you talked about, but especially the last two with the castles kidnapping matt in like a friendly and well-meaning way. it's so funny to me and also the dynamic here would be absolutely excellent. never realised i needed a pro-crime hyper-competent maria castle in my life but apparently i do???

the dynamic in those, but especially the christmas one, is fucking hilarious. i love it so much. i'd write it tomorrow if i had the time

like the castles are treating this like one of those times where you pick up a puppy out of a cardboard box in a kmart parking lot and like, it's a little scrawny and underfed and feral and yeah, it probably would have been smarter to pick one out of the shelter where at least you know they've been checked out and have their shots and everything, but you know, the kids wanted one so bad and it's christmas, and it's cold and the poor thing's probably going to freeze to death in the cardboard box, so you bring it home, and suddenly it's in these new and unfamiliar surroundings and it keeps trying to skitter out the front door every time it opens, so maybe you have to keep it in a back room or tied up for a while and you hand feed it treats until it stops trying to run away and like, you know eventually the puppy's going to warm up to you as long as you treat it right and when that happens you'll have a happy new member of the family that you can probably shove felt reindeer antlers on for the family christmas card

meanwhile matt's treating this like a fucking kidnapping

#it's so funny to me #like matt is somehow in the minority in thinking kidnapping an adult man is a big deal #normally he'd be able to hurl is body out a third story window and fuck off #but devastantly frank is one of the few people on the planet that can go toe to toe with him on a good day #and he keeps dragging matt off the windowsills and acting like matt's being ridiculous for trying to escape his own kidnapping #also he could try to just fuckin. kick flip frank #but it's so much harder to do that to maria and the kids #and it's SO AWKWARD to get into a physical confrontation with the dad of the kids whose lives you saved and who idolize you now #like merry christmas kids i need to punch your dad #maybe the real kidnapping was the societal conventions we found along the way #also matt's not super at one hundred percent on account of he took on the CIA in a t-shirt and sweatpants and like he WON but it's not GOOD #matt spends this entire time like 'please stop trying to teach me about the magic of christmas time' #'i need you to start treating this hostage situation seriously this is a federal crime you are committing a FEDERAL CRIME' #and maria's engaging in mild gaslighting like 'that's a bit dramatic dear here have a sugar cookie' #matt: 'i don't want a sugar cookie i want you to UNLOCK THE HANDCUFFS' #see the thing is that i'm absolutely convinced teh castles are absolutely fucking insane all of them #like we know frank is not above zip tying a child to the bed and kidnapping her for her own safety #maybe they're just all like that #the moral of the story is that this nice young man helped them and is living a horrible fucking existence so there's no reason why #they can't forcefully adopt him and make him take his medication and recover in their nice guest bedroom instead of a fucking boiler room #like this is 60% physical force and 40% a guilt trip keeping him captive

its so strange and painful and lovely going back to your favorite book as a child and going "ohhh of course this is the story that made me"

#for me its the how to train your dragon books #its about the scrungly little drawings and the magic and the boyhood and the wildness and the outsiderness and platonic love conquering all #and teaching yourself everything worth knowing and overcoming your obstacles with cleverness and kindness not strength and choosing to be #something other than what your family your hometown your tribe is its about platonic love conquering all its about forgiveness its about #building your own family its about needing to get out and see the world and get it under your fingernails its about how we are always more #alike than different its about persevering in the face of all odds its about queerness its about both optimism and compromise #its about extinction its about making the hard decision its about growing up its about becoming a hero the hard way. #vic.txt

worldbuilding tips/videos/articles will be like "this is genre-neutral! you can use this to build any world just ignore what doesnt apply :)" and then exclusively include stuff about building magic systems and fantasy elements and sci-fi tech and aliens. like thats not genre-neutral thats exclusively speculative fiction of a fairly standard variety (tropey high fantasy and sci-fi only) 😭

#97 #me when my worldbuilding does involve magic but these things also do not help bc they STILL always rely on trope-following #like. if the only way to worldbuild magic is to create a magic system that has magic users and rules for using magic #then youve already forgotten entire other ways of worldbuilding #(such as like.. magic existing within the environment and not being used by people or only as a fringe practice?) #and that doesnt rly bode well for claiming to teach ppl worldbuilding.. #like the thing that bothers me ig isnt just like “oh this isnt useful to me personally” its more like. #you make so many limiting assumptions about what can and cannot even BE built into a fictional world before you even start anything #and if you are this limited in your scope and imagination and creativity you are not good at teaching worldbuilding? #if your advice hinges on the assumption that everyone ever is just creating a slightly different version of either tolkien or star wars...

you are john. it has been, what, like eight or ten months since you sent out the notices about the new round of lyctor trials? you have a weird dream one night and decide, on a whim, to check in on how the trials are going. 

you phone home (its not home, home is gone). no one picks up. thats weird, and kind of concerning, so you go to check. canaan house is empty, even of the constructs you left to act as bodies for the partitioned bit of your soul-conglomerate you left there. there seem to be a lot of weird zombies on various continents. whoops, looks like some of the partitions of your soul-network need to be tuned up. well, you can do that after you figure out where the contestants went. 

an extensive round of investigation later, you land on the ninth. yep, that sure does seem to be the missing contestants. and the canaan house priests. and cytherea is here, for some reason. probably plotting against you. and... oh, annabel, good morning. 

while you are getting stabbed by your cavalier, you cant help but notice that it looks like some of the contestants did, in fact, achieve lyctorhood. but uh, definitely not the way they were supposed to. 

#to wit: the sixth and seventh have formed a soul network. only the sixth have living bodies #for some reason the dead body of the seventh cav is being possessed by that BoE bitch your hands were conspiring with almost 20 years ago? #there are 3 members of the third house here? and the actual cav is not involved in thenew 3rd house lyctorhood bond at all aside from #teaching swordsmanship to the? new 3rd cav? who is the necros sister apparently #the fitth havent made a lyctor bond yet but they Do appear to be having something going on with [checks notes] the guy who is supposed to #be the actual ninth cav but apparently isnt. wait so who went as the ninth c— uh. uhhhhhh #okay so you have a kid and the ninth has apparently joined your soul network at some point without you noticing wait wait what is this #wake-me-up-inside is on your soul network too??? youve been hacked. #as for whats going on with the rest: bc if various revelations the 8th have cancelled god who clearly doesnt understand how to #do soul magic in a Right and Proper manner. both the two who were at the trials and once they get the message back the entire house will be #up in arms about it and while the sixth have already been ready to break off from the empire if need be the eighth may try to like. take it #over? it wont go well. either way we are looking at a bigtime schism here #the fourth are trying to get good at enough at soul stuff to do one of the cooler lyctorhoods they have now learned about. the fifth are #trying to stop them from doing this and the most convincing argument theyve had thus far is that they should get past puberty first in case #the type of lyctorhood they end up doing is one of the 'freezes you at that state' one instead of the 'well the ninth aged so #clearly its possible somehow' version. the second were in the timeout corner for a while but there have been. a lot of revelations #and when you are finding stuff out firsthand and being told it directly by gods saint and his cavalier its a little harder to ignore than #if you are traumatized and on the verge of death and being told stuff by insurgents from outside the empire #also gideon has been popping back to earth a lot to 1) get sunlight 2) fight zombies for fun 3) forage for now-feral crop plants to bring #back to the ninth bc damned if shes going back to snow leeks now. also this is how shes dealing with her breakup from cytherea. and getting #space from her mom who sucks and from the drama of finding out her dad is the emperor who also sucks and that she and harrow have a #soul connection sort of that may or may not make them immortal and just. its a lot of questions. a lot of unpleasantness. a lot of pressure #hangin around on the ninth which doesnt feel big enough to get away from the drama. so shes #using her fucking teleportation powers to try her hand at shitty cottagecore life on a zombie-infested tomb of a planet instead of. yknow. #her other hometown tomb planet which is now also a little zombie-infested in a different way

But now? My heart's a little fluttery

So John Constantine has canonically exorcised a ghost by telling it to piss off, so imagine, if you will, this:

Box Ghost:*appears* I am the Box Ghost, prepare to meet your rectangular and cardboard DOOM

John: Piss off

Box Ghost: *disappears*

John: Now, as I was saying-

Danny, sleep deprived and one ghost attack away from a mental breakdown: *in awe* TEACH ME YOUR WAYS MAGIC MAN

Box Ghost, in the Ghost Zone: What the *bleep*

The “don’t vote” left’s point is basically that, if Biden gets a second term, it’ll basically signal that “They’ll vote for us as long as we’re not Republicans, why don’t we do some REAL fucked up shit, if we can get away with it?” It takes the power out of the people’s hands and places it firmly in the party’s.

I can’t completely disagree with that, my caveat is that there’s no real alternative system or party in place, because top-down change is ineffective; a third party president has to contend with a two party congress.

Except no. This whole "Biden just wants to do as much fucked up shit as possible while not being a Republican, and if you give him a second term he'll do more fucked up shit deliberately to spite you" mindset is only possible as an interpretation if you a) deliberately and comprehensively ignore everything he has done to date, and b) you approach the situation with the maximum bad faith possible. Not to mention, the ultimate outcome of this Big Important Teaching Biden A Lesson is that Trump gets back into power and makes everything orders of magnitude worse, because he does in fact want to deliberately do evil shit to everyone and says so at every opportunity. There is not some magical happy alternative that springs into existence by not voting. If you choose this as a year to Teach Biden A Lesson, you are enabling Trump. Trump will be much, much worse. If you don't care about that, I still do not care what your Great Ideology is. You are not helping anyone and you are directly and irreversibly hurting everyone.

I made a post a few days ago wherein I mentioned that I want to assess Biden fairly, taking into account both strengths and weaknesses, but the rampant bad-faith, lying, misreading, misrepresentation, and open sabotage of him (especially by the online left; the GOP sometimes only wishes they were as good at turning Biden's voter pool against him) makes it really difficult to do that. My frustration with those people makes me just want to go "BIDEN IS GREAT THE END." I know he is a flawed old man (though by literally every account of a career spent in public service, he really does care about making the world a better place and any remotely good faith reading of his accomplishments thus far can see that). It is also very likely that he goes MORE left in a second term because he won't have to face the electorate again, he has always gone more left when pushed before, and he's not actually the scheming genocidal mastermind that leftist social media paints him as. Shocking, I know.

I know there are things in the world we don't like and don't want and want to stop, and therefore we blame our own president for not making it stop. But I have zero, no, none, absolutely none whatsoever sympathy for this pseudo-populist "WE NEED TO TEACH BIDEN A LESSON BY ELECTING TRUMP AGAIN, I AM VERY MORAL MUCH ACTIVIST" mindset. There's this funny thing about America wherein it is still (for now) a democracy. If Biden wins a second term, he can't run again. I would take literally anything these people said more seriously if they focused on developing their dream progressive successor for 2028 (and also figured out how to get that person elected and in a place to make real change) rather than cynically sabotaging Biden in the most consequential election year, again, of our lifetimes. If you don't like him now, find a way to make his successor a better option. Throwing a toddler tantrum and handing the country back to a senile, deranged, fascist, revenge-riddled, theocratic Trump HELPS. NOBODY. I still don't know how many times I'm going to have to say that, but yeah.
