No you can't send me a notification. You are an app on my phone for my convenience, not for my annoyance.

I hope every writer who sees this writes LOADS the next few months. Like freetime opens up, no writers block, the ability to focus, etc etc you're able to write loads & make lots of progress <3

the fantasy lesbian adventurer is immune to the seductive evil sorceress's feminine wiles because she's butch4butch

[maxknightley]

this is exactly why any evil sorceress worth her salt keeps a towering knightgirl in gleaming black armor "on retainer"

[maxknightley]

well it's one of two reasons anyway

Hi, Mark! May I request some birthday trivia regarding Elephants in Magic, please?

The first Elephant in Magic was on a white card, War Elephant from Arabian Nights. Alpha had War Mammoth, but that was originally printed as creature type Mammoth.

Happy Birthday!

What set pre-Tempest has the lowest percentage of color pie breaks?

One of my biggest acts upon getting to Wizards was to help establish rules for what was in color and what was not. I was late in the development of Alliances, so I had less influence. I was one of the four people developing Mirage block, so that’s where you can see the start of the modern color pie.

Do you think players would be upset if all mechanics in a set were ability words?

I don’t think most players would notice. I believe the majority of players don’t know the difference between a named keyword and an ability word.

Reflecting on April Fool's Day here this year, I think a lot of the fun is us figuring out questions we can ask where the real answer is so obvious that we can ask them, and you can give a joking answer, without actually meaningfully spoiling anything currently in the works.

If you’re ever bored, go read old posts. I say more than you might realize in the moment. : )

there are many things tumblr as a whole has to learn but one of them is “someone can reblog a post without them endorsing every action the op has ever taken, we are not beholden to do background checks on the producers of every shitpost on the internet”

Don’t forget to hydrate regularly!

Refill your water bottle/glass if you need to.

If you don’t find water appealing, try adding some electrolyte flavoring or a little bit of juice (like lemon). Milk, juice, and herbal teas are also hydrating.

If you haven’t eaten in a while, it might be time for a snack or a meal.

Don’t forget to clean your water bottle regularly, in order to prevent mold-related illness.

Use the facilities if you need to.

Happy scrolling!

[Image description] Summary: a bottle of water - drink water! A simple, two frame GIF, showing a pink plastic bottle shaking left to right on a peach-colored background. It says, “Fresh Water” in yellow letters on the outside of the bottle. The water inside the bottle is pink. In a big circle around the bottle, it says: “Drink Water”. The phrase is decorated with tiny hearts. [End image description]
