Witch Hat Atelier magic system is so good that someone was able to make a spell simulator

I think the witch hat atelier teacher needs to be introducing the girls to like, geometry and physics. They’re out there trying to gauge the size of a circle based on vibes (and maybe that’s good enough most of the time) but there’s gotta be a mathematical relationship between circumference and force or heat or volume or whatever.

Maybe they get into that later, idk, haven’t read the books.

So sure, they do freehand everything, but i think freehanding and using instruments could absolutley co-exist. Especially bc the mangaka has said on some occasions that magic in wha is a metaphor for inventions. Like i can absolutely imagine that for casting spells on really big objects (like the wheels of a pegasus carriage for example) would be made much easier with the help of instruments. Maybe you could even make building-sized magic circles.

I had to compress the hell out of this gif to upload. If you want to see a nicer, bigger version you can do so here on my AO3.

Oooooh I gotta check this site out

tatterdemallionsails

I can't believe more people don't know about the antique pattern library! All those public domain, vintage handiwork books and magazines are scanned in pdf format, and FREE TO DOWNLOAD! Languages include French, Italian, German, and English. It just does need to be mentioned that most of the earlier English publications are British, so American users need to make sure to convert the instructions as necessary. Especially crochet instructions, where a British double crochet is an American single. No, I don't know why 🤣

Publications include (for those who can't see the picture) :

Battenberg Lace, Beading, BerlinWork, Bobbin lace, Bookbinding (yes, bookbinding!!!)

Calligraphy, Carpentry, Crochet, Cross Stitch, Cutwork

Drawing, Dressmaking

Embroidered Net, Embroidery

Filet, Filet Crochet, Flower Arranging

Glass

Hardanger

Irish Crochet

Knitting, Knotting

Lace (soooo many forms of lace making)

Macrame

Paper, Point Lace

Quilting

Ribbonwork

Sewing

Tatting, Tulle Embroidery

Various

Waxwork, Woodworking

Workbasket Magazine -- a publication that usually posted multiple different crafts in each issue.

It's a wonderful site, and I've loved it for nearly 20 years!

THE SITE

jewfrogs

the change from AD to CE feels really emblematic of how surface-level and meaningless the supposed secularization of the western world is

jewfrogs

Common Era is definitely preferable over Anno Domini, if only because christ is no lord of mine, but it’s only less christianocentric in that it doesn’t overtly make reference to christ in its title. the benchmark is still the same. you’re still measuring when the common era began using the (supposed) birth of christ, separating history into “the period before jesus” and “the period after jesus”. this conception of history is no less defined by christianity than it was before, except that now it’s easier to ignore because you’ve draped it in a “secular”, “modern” veneer and done nothing to actually unpack the ways in which western society intrinsically centers christianity.

Okay now I need a point in history that could be a benchmark to start counting the years from, and would be a common point for most of the world

What year would it be today?

UTC

Coordinated Universal Time.

The system by which every computer in existence now keeps count of the passing seconds.

And I mean that literally. To a computer system "now" is a number that represents the total number ov seconds that have passed since midnight on the 1st of January, 1960.

1960/01/01 00:00:01 is literally the beginning of time as far as a computer is concerned.

This would be the year 66UTC
