So a thing you wrote:

he's the fresh prince and she's greta thunberg

Makes my brain sing those words to the tune of "You Belong With Me" the early Taylor Swift hit, specifically it has a similar structure to the bits of chorus that are like:

"She wears short skirts

I wear tshirts

She's the cheer captain

And I'm on the bleachers"

I'm not a dedicated swifty, but that song was so omnipresent when it was released that it's stuck in my brain.

oh thank you! we love when songs remind people of other songs and so on - we're not a fan ourselves and we're so out of any mainstream music loops we probably have never heard that one, tbh our main experience of taylor outside of tumblr posts is her showing up in the hannah montana film which we have a soft spot for *rolls eyes at self*

frankly pissed off at the moment - we were hoping to go to a concert of bagpipe music for the Bagpipe Society's 40th anniversary (it just happened to be not far from here) but we're just not well enough :(

here's a sample of some different pipes from a concert a few years back

i love that maned wolf pups also do the canine thing where they feet too big for their got damn they, but because they also have the long ass legs they end up looking way more normally proportioned than the adults. like this:

like those are regular wolf proportions

Hey idk who needs this but helpful reminder that "virgin blood" in any witchcraft shit that requires that means "virgin" in the same sense as "virgin hair" means hair that hasn't been dyed or processed in any way, natural in the default sense. So no, "virgin blood" doesn't mean blood from a virgin, just blood that hasn't been used for any other kind of witchy shit earlier.

Whether nor not someone has fucked before is completely irrelevant. Any act of fucking doesn't instantly make someone contaminated or un-magic any of their shit. You're just not supposed to re-use blood for blood magic. That's just not. Just do not. Like that's just weird who does that.

[homunculus-argument]

no wait that- no that's not- no.

Unles you've like, poured out ALL OF YOUR BLOOD, used it for a spell, and then somehow SIPHONED THE WHOLE THING BACK IN, that doesn't mean the blood on the inside of you is also used. And even then, if you'd had your sacrifical blood IV'd back into your body-

actually nevermind, I need to draw a graph to illustrate:

I hope this helps.

[wardenaristraith]

The blood inside of you is used. Constantly. It's why there is blood there.

If anything, the blood on the outside is unused.

[homunculus-argument]

damn they ain't lying, it is like talking to a fucking genie with you people.

[just-a-random-citisen]

Question from an uncultured mf ✋ if I use blood from a dead body, would it be staled since it isnt quabulating or would it be just normal unused blood? If it is the former, would it affect the spell in any way

[homunculus-argument]

"Dead man's blood" is a completely different ingredient than fresh blood! And just like "virgin blood" doesn't need to come from a virgin, the age and gender of the deceased is irrelevant to it being dead man's blood. It would affect the spell, the same way if you were baking a chocolate cake, and the recipe asked for a cup of whole milk, and you decided to substitute it with a chunk of cheddar.

Then what does Virgin olive oil mean????

[homunculus-argument]

I don't know. Nobody knows. That is some forbidden dark magic best left for the italians, greeks, and whoever else grows and cultivates the trees that bear them.

[earhartsease]

olive is a virgin sacrificed on the altar of the cuisine gods
