what i love about mlp fim is that the power of friendship is not a symbolic thing it is a real and tangible force so potent it can be channeled into killing people

dungeon meshi & steven universe are in no way a 1:1 and greg and shuro aren’t alike at all but can you imagine for a second if marcille was in pearl’s shoes. if falin sacrificed herself to have a baby with SHURO out of nowhere. the things she would do….. she’d be in western elf jail for the rest of her sad gay life

Ok, question. Why not use the For You page at that point?

Because it sucks

Fun fact! The maximum number of blogs you can follow is five THOUSAND! That's why over 90% of the votes are for "30+"! You set the bar WAY too low!

It was 80% before it breached containment. Now the selection bias is running on steroids and I look sillier with every reblog.

OP I’m sorry to tell you this but this is DEFINITELY not selection bias. This site is built to follow a whole smack of people

Given how wizards are themed around higher education, with their universities and ivory towers, I wanna see more fiction that goes into their published papers.

Like, there should be massive drama in the Wizarding world about how Fantasy Wikipedia says "There's no consensus about the origins of skydoves" when in fact, there very much is, everyone knows they were created in the first or second dragon wars, and that's uncontroversial. One single wizard at the University of Towers who thinks they're an offshoot of mermaids DOES NOT MEAN IT'S AN OPEN ISSUE.

Papers that are rebuttals to other magical discoveries. Like, look, that spell just won't work, and you can't call it a "theoretical exercise" just to cover up the fact that you've not been able to cast it. You can't combine Ichthyomancy with completely unrelated elemental summonings, that's just not how magic works, in all due respect.

Thesis defense would be significantly scarier when all your reviewers can cast Everburning Fireball on your ass.

Learning Theoretical Evocation from a hungover lizardman TA at 8am, because the professor for this course has been off on the Elemental Plane of Circles for half the semester trying to finish her paper on how Centaurs predate horses rather than the other way around.

Speaking of which, the life of a wizard graduate student... You keep getting called to go on "quests" which are just overgrown research expeditions to help out some professor's project. You spent nearly a month in that damp castle capturing all the spinfrogs you could find, all to help your professor's project on the possibilities of concentrated soul essences. To this day, you still get dizzy whenever you see battlements, let alone a donjon.

it’s easy to forget, so I’ll remind y’all: you can make fantasy versions of anything. yes even things you might not think about. like soil types. I am thinking of fantasy soil types right now

my half a sustainable ag degree just aggressively kicked me into overdrive about this so here’s my fantasy soil type: quickened soil. You got your classic clay/loam/silt pyramid and then there’s also quick and slow. quick soil’s got ghosts in it. there’s Magic there. it’s got a presence. you have to till the soil full of blood and bone of things that were magical when they were alive to make it quick, but unfarmed untouched earth in more magical regions ends up being naturally quick as well. magical crops need quick soil to grow, but it fucks with nonmagical crops like crazy. your plants go Weird and end up as semi-magical crops one way or another and not necessarily in a way you wanted. to make your soil slow again so you can just plant beans and shit you have to basically plant a bunch of stuff that absorbs magic, then rip all that out and burn it away from the field, aggressively plow the field, then do that again a few more times until it passes a soil test.
