@moethh don't hide this in the tags

Eyvind Earle (b.1916) - 'Path in snow'

[the-punforgiven]

I'm just saying, if you're going to worldbuild magic being a "raw, primal force, akin to and interweaving with nature itself" you gotta explain to me why animals don't use it

[the-punforgiven]

I know the normal answer is "they just aren't smart enough for it" but idk I've seen enough media where a character uses a spell in a moment of brain-off panic ilI feel like animals could probably stumble into a spell or two like, accidentally

[the-punforgiven]

Also how funny would it be to see a completely normal regular bear cast magic missile outta nowhere

[the-punforgiven]

Also there is no way ravens wouldn't figure out spells, tbh

They're smart fuckin birds, I believe in them

Either through observing or just figuring shit out ravens could 100% learn how to cast spells I'm sure of it

[the-punforgiven]

Dogs can also cast Magic Missile but every time they do the projectile is shaped like a bone or a stick and they chase after it

[rathayibacter]

group of wizards who ask this in-universe, and after extensive study learn to their surprise that animals are casting spells all the time, just that their magic is so fundamental as to be unrecognizable to humans. turns out the only reason acorns grow on trees is because squirrels keep wishing for them.

Happy ten years of being so old no one knows what 1337 is

[dragon-in-a-fez]

it is like talking to a fucking g3n13 with you people

[friendlyfrankenstein]

the scariest thing about old tv isnt really the racism or the sexisim because you kinda go in braced for that it's all the scenes where suddenly an actress is holding a lion cub or a chimpanzee is in the same room as a toddler, or suddenly theres a lion, or there's a chimpanzee again but it's driving a car, or holding a lighter, or holding fireworks. You just kind of watch in horror as over and over an actress performs with only 1960s tv film shootings best animal handling between her and the opening to Nope.

This is how I learn that the famous chimp my dad got my nickname from tried to kill Reagan. Fuck yeah.

[catgirl-kaiju]

uh oh! the villainous Dr. Frown has stolen all of the smiles from Happy City! we need the aid of Gigglegirl to put a stop to his reign of terror! :(

[catgirl-kaiju]

okay, so, we were expecting Gigglegirl to just, like, cheer up the citizens of Happy City to return our smiles. we did not expect her to do that to Dr. Frown. our deep and sincere condolences to the Frown family

Watched a video where someone found a recording of local radio coverage of the Moon landing and it's so weird listening bc

now you only really see the moment of and don't realize it was an hours long protracted event with plenty of dead time to fill. At one point they just start listing off famous ships to waste time when nothing was happening

there were ads? They had to incorporate ad breaks? Not only that but actual, moon landing themed ads that segue in from the coverage. Hearing an ad that starts "the world is watching three men traveling on a mission - but every day, America's truckers travel the roads on a mission - feeding a nation..." in the exact tone of those modern commercials that are like "this SUPER BOWL, let's honor real heroes, our FIRST RESPONDERS"

[lizardsfromspace]

Happy moon landing day

The video...

...and the uncut coverage

Apollo 11 Landing Coverage (WCBS-FM) (7/24/1969) : WCBS-FM : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive

A rare bit of radio coverage of the Apollo 11 moon landing.  Commercials and Station ID's intact.

My favorite moon landing anecdote:

Dad (who was a NASA engineer) bought a 25" color TV in summer 1969 just to watch the moon landing in style. Largest TV available at the time. Stupidly expensive.

Dad (who was a NASA engineer) was furious to learn the landing would be broadcast in black & white.
