Death reversed and Two of Swords

None of it ever happened. Nothing has changed. It's fine.

Yup returning to necromancy, I’m so back. And you’re so back, and you’re so back, and you’re so back, and you’re

[wizard-council-bureaucrat]

Yeah, we killed them (⬆️) for this

[redstonedust]

unfortunately i dont think its queerbaiting if the creator is just so terminally heterosexual that they never remotely considered the same gender relationship their show is centered around could be read as romantic. it is deeply painful however.

[melanqueerly]

Maybe accidental queer baiting? The way someone may not mean to say something rude, but it may come off rude, so it's rude. Frustrating either way.

[phinarei]

Not being a dick, just a friendly clarification.

By definition you can't accidentally queerbait. Queerbaiting is specifically using a same sex pair from the show to market the show to queer audiences with no intention of ever following through on a romantic relationship.

There is officially licensed Destiel merch signed off on by Kripke. Teen Wolf had a commercial with the actors for Derek and Stiles draped over each other talking about being "on a ship." Both shows actively used scenes between them as marketing while actively mocking fans for wanting them together. Sherlock has multiple characters refer to Johnlock as a couple, including characters we're supposed to believe are never wrong about human behavior and pushed those scenes in marketing. Then they acted insulted when fans saw them as a couple.

That's queerbaiting.

Done on accident it would just be queer subtext. Done because they had no other choice due to censorship is queer coding.

The specific meaning of the word is really starting to get lost and it's a pretty important one to keep accurate. It describes a very specific phenomenon that was done repeatedly and maliciously for decades and is meant to examine that specifically.

Doing it on accident sucks, but it isn't a tactic of capitalism intentionally intended to suppress queer representation while making money from queer fans.

Reblogging to keep the accurate definition and examples of queerbaiting circulating in the world

[heavyweightheart]

we really can’t overstate how damaging it has been to indoctrinate the public with the idea that if they let themselves eat as much as they want, they’ll eat too much. human bodies, when permitted over the long term to eat as much as they want, actually get really, really good at calibrating their hunger and satiety, and will over time eat exactly the right amount for themselves. the common conception of a balanced eater as a minimal or restrained eater is absolutely wrong. balanced eaters eat quite a lot (compared to diet cultural ideas about right intake amounts), and they do so consistently and permanently. healthy, balanced eating isn’t some tightrope walk, it’s a gigantic net of total permission to eat.

new top contender

[bagelbarr0n]

Really funny one two punch on my dash this morning

[deadelated]

dawg I really love the idea of being a girl but you can just sidestep social situations by being a boy and there's so many people who treat IDing as a girl as flagging that you want to be bothered

[deadelated]

having a complex about shame is already a motive but you can also just opt out of getting your life nuked by random people. being a boy is like putting my gender on do not disturb

[kriswritesstuff]

It's hilarious how "The Unicorn Invasion of Dundee" establishes there's an evil wizard named Zargothrax, he hates everybody, and there's nothing else you need to know about him. Then they keep that attitude for three and a half albums before throwing "Keeper of the Celestial Flame of Abernethy" at us where Zargothrax is a thousand years old and beefing with the Mcfife bloodline because they knocked down his house.

Madness, truly. And the people of Dundee know his name! Like, they knew he was around. He's just been a menace for a thousand years and three dimensions and nobody bothered to ask why.

[wizardswandswitches]

i don't think liking fantasy is childish or something to be ashamed of. we live in a world that feels like it's falling apart every two business days. can you blame someone for trying to imagine somewhere more fun than here.

[mold-wizard]

Oh, goddammit, why do evil wizards get all the perks? I just found out evil wizards get a 20% discount on the spellbook of the month club subscription.

[jubjubbird]

power metal is the greatest genre ever made bc you can be listening to an awesome song and the lyrics are some shit like “double! wizard!” like i think i may have found the point of it all and it’s about headbanging to songs about evil wizard clones actually

[potatoyiart]

Ultimate Sacrifice

[cringefail-masquerade]

Gloryhammer really is one of the greatest bands of all time. Like. What other band would make a song titled Goblin King Of The Darkstorm Galaxy, which is about a goblin king and evil wizard teaming up to open an evil portal and bring ruin to the lords of the moon? What other band would remaster one of their songs and give it the title of "Transcendant Empyrean Incantation Version", only made more ridiculous by the fact the song is titled The Unicorn Invasion Of Dundee? You find a song titled He Has Returned. OK, surely this one is more normal. No, it's about The Robot Prince Of Auchtertool, who apparently has a crown made of lasers and epic robot wings. One of their songs opens with the lyrics "I wanna fly away on a unicorn to a land of freedom and light, but I know that my destiny is to die in the ultimate fight", with the climax of that song being "I know I'll find my destiny in outer space in 1993". AND they're Scottish. Actually the best.

BOOK COVER REDRAW of one of the most insane and gutwretching books ever written. (Art without text and full process on my insta!)

It was my first time designing a book cover and I have to say the process was painful. I started with a strong idea in mind: I wanted to portray Harrow at the exact moment she got her memories back. It had to be spectacular, dramatic, atrocious. There had to be skeletons, lots of skeletons, the castle of her House, and of course, Gideon's sword. Then came the hard part, colors. I changed the colors I think 4 times, just couldn't get them right, but in the end can say I'm quite happy with the result. During the whole process I kept looking at the original cover from @studiotommy.co (insta) trying to grasp even a small fragment of his tenique (ps. Posting this 2 days before a big tit announcement wasn't in my plans👀)

I hope I've done this book justice, because at the end, that's what it's all about.

Ty @noblenico for sharing the We Do Bones font, it really made the difference!

Harrow The Ninth -mock dust cover

With the river in blue and with blood variations. I wanted to have some crossover from my gtn cover, making things partially destroyed , like the side flaps. As well as having the sword in the same position, Gideons presence is still there! Even if she, herself, is not 🥲

Next up will be Nona's cover!

And more closeups under the cut
