a wretched hive of scum and villainy

30 or 40 years old, agender/poly/ace, magical forest queer, furry, they/he pronouns. enjoys TTRPGs, FFXIV, critical media analysis, pretty rocks, witchy bullshit, and dumb memes. would love to hear about your OCs. --- Remember when Tumblr had nudes on it? gosh I sure miss that. I still have my ye olde tags for dicks, tits, ladies, dudes, bdsm, het, alien/monster sex, robot sex, dragon sex or nsfw stuff in general, but now you can go there like you would go to a zoo to watch the endangered species slowly fading from the earth other tags you may find include: ffxiv digimon, pokemon, untamed, homestuck, steven universe, undertale, gravity falls, the raven cycle, and critrole. I don't tag consistently and unfortunately if you visit this blog you must accept this.

*Kicks down the door* YOU KNOW WHUMPY TROPES I LOVE SO MUCH BUT BARELY EVER SEE?

MAGIC FATIGUE/EXHAUSTION/OVERUSE.

Give me those sweet side effects of overusing magic:

Getting lightheaded and weak, struggling to stand let alone keep fighting

"Are you ok?" "Yeah I'm fine. *immediately faceplants because their legs can't support their weight anymore*"

F a i n t i n g

Physical injuries like burns, broken bones, etc

The risk of permanent damage either physically or mentally

Can I get uuuuhhhhh "loses a sense either temporarily or permanently depending on the severity of the overuse"?

Stopping their heart (cue the team scrambling to drag their dumbass friend back from death)

THERE'S SO MUCH YOU CAN DO AND I SO RARELY SEE IT.

[awfulwhumpsideblog]

Some of my favorite magic side effects:

-Nosebleeds. Never gets old.

-Coughing up blood. The good ol’ “cough into your hand and pull it back to see blood” also never gets old.

-Headaches. You keep fighting as your head pounds, desperately telling you to take a break. At first they fade within minutes when you stop using magic, but overtime, they become chronic.

-Fatigue. After a big battle, you stand triumphant, and then just fall asleep on the spot.

-In a similar vein, overuse causing you to straight up faint rather than just fall asleep. Darkness begins to overtake your vision in the middle of battle, unconsciousness abruptly looming over you.

-Any of the side effects happening to another person. Maybe two close characters are connected, and whatever side effects character A would normally endure are transferred to character B. When A uses a blast of magic B screams loudly because holy shit that hurt.

-Magic gradually deteriorating your mind. Using it too much eventually caused hallucinations and an inability to retain memories, or even larger scale memory loss. 

Feel free to add more, I’m looking for some to steal

[mastermatoyas]

Oh yeah, I was gonna add some!

- numbness in the extremities from magical overuse. Mages casting spells, and then opening and closing their hands again and again until the feeling comes back to their fingers. Prolonged use of magic leading to nerve damage.

- emaciation from converting calories into magical energy. Magic users will eat until they almost throw up before undergoing a work, knowing that their magic will steal the energy they need to live. A common remedy for exhausted mages is to feed them something as sweet as possible, and then slowly get calorie-dense foods into their body.

- magic that extends the user’s lifespan, but also withers their body prematurely. Mages become white-haired and infertile faster. Their bodies gnarl and sag, but like deep-rooted trees on the sides of cliffs, they continue to live on.

- sleeping a lot, and having unsettling prophetic dreams. It’s considered bad luck to wake a mage, no matter how much they toss and turn. Some mages may try to avoid their dreams by staying awake as long as possible.

- neurological problems - seizures, dissociation, loss of limb control. The more someone immerses themselves in magic, the more they begin to feel distant from their own body. Eventually, a mage may find themselves building a coccoon around their soul, and abandoning their body, unable to see it as anything more than a defective meat puppet that no longer represents them. Mages that do this obtain great power and immortality, but are never able to shake the feeling of having lost something precious.

Oooh if I may:

- I love it when magic manifests itself in moments of high emotion. Like a mage could be spitting angry and they don’t realize that smoke is blowing out their nose, or a mage could be hysterically crying and they accidentally cause a rainstorm or something.

- when a mage heals you… you are now living off part of their life force. So if that Mage gets sick/hurt/dies? Buddy I got bad news for you.

- if you use too much magic, yes you’ll crash and pass out. But if you tip toe that threshold and don’t quite make it to the “passing out stage,” you just get severely loopy. Slurring words, not recognizing people you’re with, terrible balance, etc.

- it’s important to broaden your range of what type of magic you use and use everything in moderation, bc if you use only one type all the time it has severe mental side effects. Examples:

only using healing magic will leave you numb/in a daze, because you’re so used to giving away parts of your own life force to help others that you just feel… empty.

only using “dark” magic will gradually make you apathetic, which isn’t inherently bad, but for certain people it makes them more prone to being reckless/dangerous/villainous bc they used to rely on empathy to keep their morals + decision-making in check

- likewise, certain types of magic having visible/tangible side effects on Mages. Examples:

Shadow magic turning a mage’s extremities black, or making them incorporeal part of the time.

Lightning magic making a mage’s hair stick straight up, or they always shock anyone they touch by accident. Maybe they even have glowing lightning feather marks.

Mages who specialize in plant/nature magic have a super rough, bark-like texture to their skin. They might have lichen growing somewhere.

Mages who use water magic a lot will have their hair flowing/floating all around them, as if they’re underwater.

When a character is assured enough in their own power that they are completely relaxed in dangerous situations??? When that same character becomes tense and uncomfortable in the mundane because they don't have a framework for peace?????? When they help navigate violence for another character and in return that character helps them navigate softness??????????? That's all, your honour

As others have pointed out before, if you visited a web page 20 years ago and it acted like that, you would rightly assume your computer had gotten a virus.

"I beat the game in 30 hours" okay but did you explore the map to find spots that look pretty? did you put your characters in silly little outfits? did you try the mini games? did you let the characters become friends? did you have fun? did you have fun playing your game???
