i am Thinking about the owlbear boys who got their first spells over spring break and the signature spells that they choose. 

fabian uses bardic inspiration and maneuvers more than he actually uses bard spells, but his favorite spell is definitely faerie fire. fabian casts faerie fire when fig gets embarrassed about talking to ayda and tries to cast greater invisibility. fabian casts faerie fire from underneath gorgug’s giant axe, almost as a reflex, when he just got freed from possession because he needs to know who got him. fabian casts faerie fire from a sixth of a mile away, way out of range. fabian casts faerie fire on kalina and takes riz with him and it becomes the way that riz gets that incredible shot with the mirror and the shattered glass. fabian casts faerie fire a lot. it’s about magic that’s beautiful and showy, all blues and purples and greens because he dances now! it’s about magic that’s just because, sparks rolling off his sheet because magic is everywhere and fabian lets himself enjoy it now. it’s about gaining advantage, about fighting efficiently, because fabian still is a fighter and he’s still good at it, but it also grants his friends advantage because plays support now! and i can’t help but keep thinking of the fact that fabian’s nightmare involved being invisible and watching his friends walk away without him, and then his signature spell is all about making the invisible visible again. 

meanwhile gorgug also has spellcasting now but to him tinkerers’ tools proficiency and other class features are even more important than actual magic. gorgug only knows two cantrips and one of them is spare the dying. he has two spell slots and the only one he uses is a cure wounds. even though he spends his time with a party where four people have heals and two people know revivify because it doesn’t matter if that’s almost half the spellcasting he’ll ever have ready access to because what if he’s the only one there who can help, gorgug has died before and he will do everything to prevent that from happening to someone else who he couldn’t save. because gorgug doesn’t play support, not on the surface, and he can’t cast spells in combat because he’ll always be helping his friends more by raging. gorgug’s spells are for out of combat, for just in case, for who would i be if i couldn’t help when they need it

thinking bout gorgug and ayda’s friendship like

[ID: A two-panel meme from Seinfeld. Jerry looks down with a bemused expression and asks: “You’re crying from other people’s game of dungeons and dragons?” Screencaps of scenes from Frightful Symmetry, in which Riz, Gorgug, Fig, Fabian, Ayda, and Adaine resist the forest, are edited in as George looks down with a teary expression and says: “got to me.“ Jerry says: "All right.” End ID]

super quick drawin’. i’ve been rewatching fantasy high and since i’ve wanted to draw basically this exact thing since the first time i watched it a year or so ago… here it is. they are besties <3

[ID: A digital drawing of Fig doing Gorgug’s makeup. Fig sits on a pink beanbag, legs crossed, smiling, tongue sticking out as she concentrates, drawing eyeliner on Gorgug. Gorgug kneels, hands in lap, looking up with a neutral, tusky expression and a slight blush.

Fig is an orange-skinned tiefling wearing a cropped tee-shirt that says on the back, “reading is fundamental” with FUN in all caps, as well as a short plaid skirt and knee-high socks. Gorgug is a slender half-orc with a purple hoodie, black skinny jeans, white socks, and black shoulder-length shaggy hair with white streaks.

An eyeshadow palette with a spiderweb design as well as a few sponges lie on the ground beside them. The background is white with a few pink rectangles behind them, arranged like posters on a bedroom wall. End ID]

Fig (Emily Axford, @.eaxford): “Sometimes the security cam is so slimming & flattering it’s like ‘maybe I should commit a crime??’” 

Gorgug (Zac Oyama, @.zacoyama): “accidentally just crushed a raw egg in my hand like some kinda dumbass giant.” 

Adaine (Siobhan Thompson, @.vornietom): “how am i supposed to do anything when everything is happening, a memoir.” 

Fabian (Lou Wilson, @.louwilzon): “Favorite this shit if you got a dad. #DontLie #UnlessYouInvitro #ArguablyYouStillGotADad.” 

Kristen (Ally Beardsley, @.agbeardsley): “I was obsessed with the FBI/CIA as a child bc being ‘closeted’ is more fun when you call it being ‘undercover’ (cowboy emoji)

Riz (Brian Murphy, @.chmurph): “always down to talk about how hungry or tired i am if anyone wants to chat.”

Bonus tweets (both by Brennan Lee Mulligan, @.brennanlm). Gilear: “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I? I tried to roller skate down them both at the same time and ripped the crotch of my jorts wide open.” Aguefort: “If I go to your wizard school and find out Love is the Greatest Magic of All so help me God I’m burning that fucking place to the ground.”]

He just looked so pitiful. I've never seen Arthur look like that.

Fellas, is it gay to abandon your empress for her ex-prince brother, walk halfway across the continent to join him on the battlefield, wrestle him to the ground while sparring, for him to dream about you, to embrace him as he murmurs into your hair, and announce he is your destiny? 

"It's beautiful. Never seen a spell like it."

a moment alone

I’ve had leaders, followers, but I’ve never had a partner before.

is there anything better than two morally shady ladies being partners

big fan of platonic expressions of devotion actually. yeah we're best friends of course i'd find you and hang out with you in every universe.

Wow wtf HIV/AIDS was discovered by Flossie Wong-Staal, an Chinese-American woman, and she’s the reason the HIV test even exists. AND THEN she invented the molecular knife that lead to treatments for HIV/AIDS. And she’s STILL ALIVE. We don’t hear about the contributions of Women of Color enough, my word. Madness.

I will always maintain the headcanon that Sirius (much like Toph) knew all of this stuff about being formal. He just didn’t care for it. Because Orion and Walburga were the type to educate their sons to act rich and proper etc. And I love thinking about the moments where he DOES show this knowledge.

The Marauders are at a ball and everyone’s expecting Sirius to do some sort of crazy dance but he turns out to be a fantastic ballroom dancer.

He reveals overtime that he is fluent in French and Latin and knows his way around a few other languages.

“Peter, you cultured potato, that’s a salad fork! Not the dinner fork!”

He would know exactly how to dress.

He would know exactly how to schmooze (hence how he could charm anyone).

He would know all of these fancy meals and recipes.

He’d know which wines were the best and which ones were bloody awful.

The same goes for gold and silver objects (he’d be able to casually tell the difference between real gold/silver and fake items.)

He would know how to duel.

I just have so many headcanons about Sirius showing that he actually knows how to be formal and proper and dapper and is quite good at it. He just usually doesn’t like doing it.

‘Sirius,’ said Mundungus, who did not appear to have paid any attention to the conversation, but had been closely examining an empty goblet. 'This solid silver, mate?’

'Yes,’ said Sirius, surveying it with distaste. 'Finest fifteenth-century goblin-wrought silver, embossed with the Black family crest.’

Sirius was a total closet snob, it’s practically canon :P.

as much as i enjoy those ‘marauder handwriting’ posts (and i do, a lot) i have an issue with Sirius’ handwriting always being a messy scrawl like

this kid grew up in one of the most prestigious wizarding households ever, you think he wouldn’t write in cursive? Sirius Black’s handwriting is the most pretentiously elegant handwriting. flourishes everywhere. i bet he even does those extra little curls to embellish his capital letters. 

This human.
