FUSIONS!

Thanks for everyone’s suggestions! I ended up having to leave a few charas out cause i dropped my tablet pen in my tea (it appears to be fine?????? i think???) and decided that that’s my sign to stop drawing for the night.

Why is iron traditionally considered anathema to magic and the magical? These days, knowing what we do about stars and how the creation of iron signals their immediate death, there's some interesting new symbolism there to unpack. But the idea predates that knowledge. So what made iron so special, or, anti-special, I guess?

It's not that it's anti-magical per se.

Iron, and all the other planetary metals, have their own magical associations. Gold is purity, silver holds dominion over cycles, lead death, tin function, copper rules form and beauty, mercury change and fluidity.

Iron is the knife. It is destruction, will, not change but the instrument of change. The medium between the magician and the world.

Iron isn't anti-magical per se, but it's the metal that gives dominion over magic.

tiktokers who say classic lit is bad because its not relatable 1. thats not the fucking point 2. you've clearly never read twelfth night as a trans bisexual

you've clearly never read Frankenstein as a student

If you're fucked up enough a lot of classic lit suddenly becomes uncomfortably relatable tbh.

This is 100% true, but also: literature is a great way to engage with people you don't actually relate to, and practice feeling empathy for them anyway. I have never been in a battle, but I have cried over the Iliad multiple times because I was suddenly made very aware that every single war has people like Hector in it, who leave their families one day and just never come home to them. Please keep looking for things you find relatable in unexpected places - but not everything has to be relatable for it to be worthwhile.

Not everything has to be about you to be worth reading

Combined old outfit and new and re-drew the awesome opening card from the 98 anime. I def feel stampede Vash needs more leather and belts ok…

I love it when media implies that Wizard is a species. I love the idea of a hominid whose place in the ecosystem is to kill shit with lightning.
