people make fun of mtg players who think that adding spongebob and teenage sloptant mutant pizzas to the game diminishes it because "well its just a card game its silly anyway" which is just frankly really dumb. it is normal to value a specific tone in art and media! i wager most people wouldnt like it if they were watching a serious thriller film and halfway through a cartoon rabbit walked on screen and starting pantsing the hero every other scene--doesn't mean that they are Taking Movies Too Seriously, it means they think extreme bathetic tonal dissonance undercuts many elements of film that they enjoy. perfectly sensible thing to think innit

You know, in the old books and stories about Magic: the Gathering, it seemed to me that planeswalkers were always these out of touch godlike assholes who didn’t care about how many lives they destroyed or worlds they ruined in their pointless ambitions to compete with each other.

But y’know, after reading this post from the perspective of one of the creatures I so casually summon, sacrifice, alter, and who knows what else, I take a look at myself and go, “Ohhhhhhhh…”
