There should be a guy in Pale who invests 100% into portraying himself as a traditional fantasy dnd wizard. He is or makes himself look old, long gray beard, and dresses in robes and he's always throwing fire balls and the pactverse equivalent of magic missile. he's not affiliated with any major families but nobody can do anything about him because he has stupidly high karma from the spirits thinking he's fucking radical and cool as shit

AU where instead of The Travelers, simurgh isekai's Dr Gregory House into Brockton Bay, to roughly the same level of devastation as the travelers due to how much he likes to cause problems on purpose + proximity to both lisa and amy

Wildbow writing Ward:

alternate universe where wildbow made homestuck and hussie made worm

Pale should have a christmas moment like in Narnia where Santa is real and he gives them magic swords

I took a break from reading Pale awhile back, decided to pick it back up and started reading again starting from arc 14 [spoilers]. It has the scene where Avery's first moved to Thunder Bay and is visits the local Lord + council to make a case for being allowed to stay in the city etc., and.... it really bothers me that the idea of Avery coming up to them and going "hello. I may be a practitioner, but I am also a child, of a family made entirely of innocents, and me moving to your city wasn't entirely within my control, because I'm a normal child in the normal world and if you tell me I can't live here, I can't exactly just leave." And no human on the council can look at that and go "yeah makes sense"

I KNOW that part of the entire point of the story is that practitioners and practitioner society is fucked, and that includes the reasonable paranoia of "just because she's a child and not from a pract. family, that doesn't make her innocent/not suspicious" but also at the same time, it comes across to me as some harry potter level worldbuilding, like how HP wizards are canonically so caught up in their own archaic wizard bullshit that their cultural norms are unsustainable when compared with modern day muggle technology/lifestyles.

Reading Pale the other night, there was a small bit mentioning Avery sending a picture of a homunculus over text, and it occurred to me, the idea of like, this happening in america and NSA or CIA agents or whoever tuning in and accidentally being made aware. Realistically, their innocence would probably be very easily protected (corrupted data or hand-waved as something mundane), but it was a funny thing to think about
