i haven't played past arc 3 and forgot most of my playthrough so i may be incorrect about this but it's so interesting how like only two people in the entire game so far have ever acknowledged the unfair situation the wizard has been put in, and those people were Motherfucking Morganthe and Motherfucking Grandfather Spider

#“hey uh you kinda seem overworked. where's your dad throughout all this” - the two worst people you know #tbf spider mostly said it for manipulation purposes but he was still correct? #and my memory may be wrong but morganthe seemed straight up appalled #“ambrose is having you do WHAT? YOU'RE 8!??!!” based. #if theres anyone else that says this in the game btw lmk #but i find it funny how the wizard's mental health was only considered twice #NOOOO I DO NOT COUNT SOPHIA DARKSIDE AND THE AZTECA SHIT. NOOOO! (waggles my finger) #was gonna make a post about that also. its very funny. imagine overcoming your trauma by beating the shit out of it #wizard101 #wiz101 #w101 #text posts

bro that really haunts my narrative

#w101 #w101 fandom #wizard101 #wizard101 fandom #the old one #sal art #desperately need to sit down and lay out my feelings abt how much the old one's presence is utterly crucial to arc 4 despite the fact #that (spoilers) he dies like 20 minutes into it #like obviously its most strongly felt in lemuria he is haunting that shit like a ghost in a house #but even up to (BIG SPOILERS) the end of wallaru and everything that happens there #w101 spoilers #just in case #love when media hypes a guy up and then they immediately get murked #working caption was 'haha noo dont haunt the narrative ur so sexy' based on that one meme #mostly this was just me fuckin around w divide layers. fun effect #oh yeah world icons courtesy of the wiki. i was not redrawing those things

speaking more from my last post about shadow magic and its just. so interesting tbh. like the first mention of shadow magic comes from khrysalis when we enter the eclipse tower and it gives us interesting looks into how shadow magic as a whole is regarded in the spiral...

its so insane to hear that its a forbidden magic and that grandmother raven and BARTLEBY of all people forbade it to be taught. raven i could probably understand, but considering we are now bartlebys scion... it's hard to think about the possibility that he didn't trust us before. an outsider from the spiral learning a forbidden magic...

i think what's also interesting is the fact that the shadow magic the wizard learns is a wholly unique one. shadow magic corrupted the moon magic inside the tower, so there's a possiblity that our wizard only knows this specific subset of shadow magic—one that's been permanently altered by moon magic in the eclipse tower, and one that can only be taught by sofia darkside.

it makes me wonder if velma knows the same kind, or if hers and the wizard's shadow magic is different... is one more volatile than the other? or if there's no difference at all and im looking into it too much lolol

knowing this and knowing raven forbade anyone in the spiral from ever learning shadow magic, it would make a little bit of sense for how hostile she initially seems towards the wizard... if we take what we saw from the book of secrets, then we know that magic law states that nothing is an accident—magic is reactive and 'sentient' to a certain degree, so there was no mistake in the wizard freeing grandfather spider from his prison using magic, because that's what they wanted.

granted it was for other reasons... but it doesn't paint a pretty picture of any of us. the wizard learns shadow magic, the wizard frees spider, and then spider goes on to say that theyre his favorite.

i think what makes this particularly more tragic is the fact that the wizard didn't even have a choice. sofia says this herself!

they need to learn it. the sword of kings isn't enough. being a child of prophecy isn't enough. they failed once before, and theyre not eager to fail again. theyll try anything, and everything, and that includes... freeing grandfather spider.

which, you know, speaking of backlash... sofia mentions it too lol.

which is interesting to me... i always complained that the morganthe fight needed a bit more oomph—which, i still believe it does, to some extent—but i think how she died was a fitting end to her. crushed underneath the weight of her own powers, her own shadow—her backlash. she was the instrument of her own defeat, and, well... that could have very well been the wizard. she's our reflection, our parallel. i think it's why the wizard never mentions or claims that theyre the one that did her in—because they technically... didn't, but they also did. which is cool!

much to think about....

Wizard 101: Hey kid, you just got pulled into Wizard School, and it looks like you're ready to start. Go down that path and someone will teach you to fight. Oh shit, that's Malistare, uhhhh, *one minor battle later* Good job kid. Go and do some little quests and beat up some fairies, you're doing great! :)

Pirate 101: You're in jail. Pirates are breaking you out of jail! They're... asking about your trauma. You're a pirate, an orphan, the son of a whore and a scotsman, you were raised by another group of people, now you're pulling a jail break and helping other prisoners escape! A uhhh, a guy threatens to murder you. He's the one who locked you up. The pirate guy almost dies and you have to drive his ship??? *one stressful sail later* Hey kid, go beat up this guy who stole from me. I'm gonna cheat and scam you, btw, just so you know. :)

this might be a minority opinion but i actually love that mellori betrayed the wizard. go on girl be your own fully realized person and advance the plot in interesting ways

#wizard101 #w101 #this is not meant to be shade i just like it when characters are volatile and do stupid shit #a lot of the early characters in wizard101 are super static and slotted into either #“wizard i love you and i am your ally 5ever” or “wizard i hope you get the electric chair” #so i really love mellori for like. she betrays the wizard but not really out of malice #she did it because she thought she had to #also i like it because it's funny #i feel this way about bat's betrayal too just. really like characters who's morality isn't revolved around #“is this character nice to the wizard” #(that is also why i love ione but i could talk about why i love ione for hours) #wizard101 spoilers #i don't know if fucking mirage still counts as spoilers #but to my brain mirage came out three years ago and not #checks notes #eight. it can't be eight what the hell.... #my god...........

[anxiously-sidequesting]

I think I've already said this once before but I really wish there was a feature in Wizard101 where important events, lore, and dialogue in the game were documented somewhere so we can view them whenever we want. like unless we video record the events while it happens, take pictures, or just go through the whole entire fucking plot with another wizard character there's no way to ever revisit those moments and that SUCKS??????? like wizard101 has some of the best lore ive ever seen and I don't wanna have to level up my wizard all the way to level 100 just to see that iconic grandfather spider scene or grind through azteca just to find that one epic fourth wall breaking moment 💀 i want to revisit all the incredible and funny and weird shit we've all gone through Immediately. Like damn remodel the library so that it actually keeps records and dated films of the things we've gone through so it can actually be useful instead of it being Just A Building (rants about this for so long that even Jesus smacks His lips)

#remember that azteca moment? where the wizard is like carrying a huge chunk of boulder or smth and the narrator legit goes- #''why the fuck are we doing this. we're famous for fucks sake we got shit to do'' #and literally i could watch old cob going through his arc with us and his kids and grandmother raven alllllll day please. #''i can be as petty and absurd as i want.'' CAN I WATCH THAT MOMENT 15 MORE TIMES PLS THANKS #also the fact that theres so much lore and it spanned out for more than a decade?? theres a lot of shit to take in and 90% of it i forgot #itd be really useful for fanfics and stuff too #and even ive gotten some things wrong on this blog with my posts just because i FORGOT or misremembered the shit that actually happened LMAO #sorry for repeating myaelf but like. this needs to be a thing by yesterday #wizard101 #w101 #wiz101 #text posts

(Wiztober 2023 Day 18: First Love Second Lust)

The Wizard (tm) and The Schismist (tm) have a weird relationship if you believe the rumors

The rumors being that the two of them have been spotted just spending a lot of casual time in each others company despite being (according to Denkichi) mortal enemies and all??? I like to think after Denkichi quits his little cult I mean quits being a Schismist that the two become a bit less antagonistic, because he no longer has an excuse to follow her around in a non-weird fashion so he ends up just trying to catch her attention at any opportunity (that ISNT prime battle time, of course, he hadn't given up his goal of winning a duel with her), and Persephone is so fucking exhausted from the existential horror that was Lemuria+Novus back to back that she doesn't really care and actually allows it on occasion, now they're mortal enemies AND vent buddies and they're both going to tell the papers its not gay and they're both lying.

#im gonna say it again yes I swear these are 101 os I SWEAR #anyway gay of them to just spend their free times lounging together and talking shit about everyone else #wizard101 #wiztober2023 #w101 #my art #my ocs #digital art #jokes on you if you think theyre straight btw #Persephone Solanaceae #Denkichi Igarashi #i have a ridiculous amount of story for them which is esp funny bc I made Denkichi on a whim as a joke<3 #its not joke anymore I love them with my whole heart

MY NOVUS REWATCH HAS REIGNITED MY LOVE FOR WIZ.. and therefore my love for wizsein. the tag has grown so much since the novus test realm... T_T!!! and im so happy to see everyone is ill about these two because so am i<3

i literally drew this over the span of several hours trying to draw out the rot in my brain.

this comic is based off this post that i rbed a while back and god. past me was so smart

IM PLANNING TO POST MORE... i wondered if i should split up the comic between the other doodlies i had and thought i should +_+ so u shall see more

also a tentative hc... wiz and dasein cant touch bc it causes a violent reaction . think like baking soda and vinegar only more volatile<3 so maybe something like potassium and water. makes that touch starved emotionally repressed part HIT

#wizard101 #w101 #novus spoilers #????? #MAYBE? #dasein w101 #wizsein #rest assured if this was calsein it would be the most codependent shit ever #i think this world genuinely ruined her #like she became a villain after this ruined #BUT ENOUGH ABOUT MY OCS... #i miss him . i miss him so much WHEN IS TEST REALM COMING OUTTTT #starts banging on my cell bars LET ME INNNNNNN LET ME IN #my art #also sorry for how this is formatted i cant fuckn format comics for the life of me
