you know i think that were i in charge of designing a system of wizard law that designated certain categories of spells as absolutely forbidden no nuance no exceptions, the #1 most obvious thing i would consider putting in that category is mind control. conversely i would definitely want to make sure the use of magic to heal injury and treat infectious disease were permitted and indeed encouraged. something i would definitely not do is institute a blanket ban on medical magic while specifically basing the entire penal system around nonconsensual brain surgery. but then again i'm not an expert. yes i have been reading the witch hat atelier manga

genuinely I'm so sick of people wanting all fiction to be ethical. can we all just get a little gross with it. the point of fiction is that it's not real. we can be unethical in fiction; same goes with being perverted with fiction, being unrealistic with fiction, and being grotesque with fiction. not all fiction has to be ethical, not every character has to be ethical, and that's okay. can we stop with the puritanism. be gross. be unrealistic. be whatever. if I don't like it it's not my business as long as we're all clear that its fictional.

Alexandr Alexeevich Borisov - Seals (1912)

From the diaries of the artist: «It was very difficult to work; I had to cut the brushes, make the bristle short, rub the colors was almost inconceivable. <… > The hand is cracking, it is breaking; the roaring hands refuse to serve. But you draw, all thirsty to put on the canvas these bizarre, gloomy, full of peculiar beauty paintings of the Far North» (source)

I consider myself a real hater but sometimes you really do go too far with haterism. once I had to break mutuals with someone bc they hated the entire art form of poetry and the final straw was when they started hateposting about soup. The food
