This blog will fairly soon be changing it’s name to something else, such as hound of dark or tundra incognita. Be wary. I will remain

I think the message of Howl’s Moving Castle is that in order to maintain a successful relationship with some kind of fucked up wizard, you must find it in yourself to also be some kind of fucked up wizard.

See, I don’t think that’s the case. Certainly, Sophie’s magic is often more practical than Howl’s, but if you think that the practicality of one’s magic is a reasonable measure of how good a fucked up wizard is at being a fucked up wizard, you don’t understand fucked up wizards.

[mstopportunity]

By some metrics, Sophie is a more fucked up wizard - Howl would never mess something up by accident! But here’s the thing, they complement each-other. Sophie is practically-oriented, but she’s not always competent to do what she intends, nor does she know what she’s doing. Howl always knows what he’s doing and why, and it’s usually useless bullshit for terrible reasons. Howl knows what he is intimately. He knows his strengths and his weaknesses and he knows that he’s got a spine like wet, single ply tissue paper. Sophie complements this by doing whatever it is she sets her mind to, but having exactly zero capacity for self-reflection (or if she does it’s through a funhouse mirror)

Your honor, they’re both a better fucked up wizard than the other, just how they’re supposed to be.

Image two is a reply by @/downtroddendeity that reads: “Howl ripped out his own heart and set it on fire and then immediately went “wait fuck that was a bad idea” and spent the next few years completely failing to do anything to fix it, and Sophie laid an unspeakably powerful, unbreakable curse on herself by ACCIDENT. They’re perfect for each other.”

Image three is a tag that reads: “y’all are perfect for each other. please never get anyone else involved.” End ID]

rolling snake eyes is a bad thing. being a snake in the grass is a bad thing. being cold-blooded is a bad thing. the english language is so fucking hostile for snakes why do you hate us so bad

[fangs-4-fags]

NOT TO MENTION snake oil salesmen are famously sketchy. why do you hate our oils

[fangs-4-fags]

really funny character concept i will definitely be using some day: oil salesman who is a snake. introduced as a snake oil salesman

[fangs-4-fags]

he's a painfully honest and sincere oil salesman. he's not selling miracle cures he's telling you exactly what it is. and what it is, is oil. he's got olive oil coconut oil corn oil. every kind of oil you can think of

it’s actually really easy to satisfy audiences with Good Representation. you can’t depict someone struggling with their Otherness because that portrays it in a bad light but you have to depict them struggling with their Otherness because if you don’t, then you’re romanticizing how hard it is to be Othered. be super careful not to depict anything that might be adjacent to a common stereotype but if you go too far to avoid all stereotypes, then you’re still building the characters around stereotypes, which is a stereotype in its own way. if your storyline uses tropes, then it’s cliche, but if it avoids tropes, then it’s inauthentic. if you lampshade any of this, then you’re speaking down to your audience but if you don’t acknowledge this, you’re also speaking down to your audience. this is all really easy stuff i don’t know why people don’t get it.

Magus Archives Masquerade!

Wanted to do something simmilar to the last winter gala outfits for the new year, with the Magus AU witches and knights. I overthought a bit, (like what characters and stuff they would have to dress up as? They don't have the same historical and mythical background as us!) I ended up with birds as inspiration :'D

A bit late, but here they are! Happy New Year!
