wizards thinking of clerics as hacks cause we spent years of study learning the secrets of the universe they cheated and got a god to do their magic for them
clerics thinking of wizards as hacks cause we spent years serving and cultivating a deeply personal relationship with a god they copied down some cheat codes to make stuff blow up
And sorcerers are like “no wait, hold on. This is basically a curse. I’ve been *experiencing* magic against my will since I was born and it’s hurt a lot of people.”
… and then everyone glares at the warlock in the corner. Their response: “Yeah, no. That’s fair. I blew Cthulhu in the parking lot behind the McDonald’s and now I can do magic. Best deal ever. You all can (and should) suck it.”
Then the bard is like, “Anyway, here’s Wonderwall.”
Guy who spends every second of the day talking abt how they’re the Saint of all autism: sorry you’re kinda a freak and weird and your social skills are bad and you only want to talk about 1 thing and you talk weird and it makes me think you’re scary and gonna hurt me.
The type of person who tries to tell you ‘stupid’ is an ableist slur and you’re bad for saying it and then they immediately vague about you having the “skills of five year old” or laugh directly at you for asking what half of 30 is because you can’t do math

I love tense scenes like this! My friend is currently re-reading the trilogy again and sending me screenshots of our favorite scenes and I just had to draw one of them! I needed to make a new account for this though because I feel like fanarts just don’t fit on my main one and this way i can just post random drawings whenever I have a fan outburst again. Hope you enjoy!
the harrow/gideon/ianthe dynamic at the end of harrow the ninth is so funny to me. ianthe thinks shes in a live triangle with harrow and gideon only for gideon to show up and be like WRONG. your competing with ANOTHER dead bitch and we’re BOTH losing get over it loser. meanwhile harrow thinks she has two dead wives and a work colleague (they are BARELY even platonic *scoff* <- harrow voice). truly unparalleled
its also ahistorical to claim that european states are “not siding against isr because they don’t want to look antisemitic” governments do not care about that even though liberal norms might have convinced you they do. they’re siding with isr in droves because it is in line with their own political and economic interests, i.e., continuing to have a militarized outpost in the middle east through which they can run intelligence and exercise some degree of control over the rest of the region. they are not random accounts on twitter who don’t want to be “accused of being problematic”
you know whats going to happen is that 10 years from now there are going to be leaks, re-election talking points, journalists making a quick buck by telling you “what really happened in palestine”, ex soldiers telling you how they feel so bad for doing something so abhorrent that they were just following orders and every shit actor on that hollywood list taking back their solidarity lamenting in that “they just didnt know! they followed trusted news sources!”, average people saying they had NO CLUE that america of all nations would take part in something so awful, that they had NO CLUE that america of all nations would fabricate propaganda and i just want you to know if Palestinians end up forgiving them i will not and neither will the world
we saw this all happen in real time and we saw your response and we have receipts
a small child came into the café today and asked to buy a chocolate truffle. he tapped a credit card on the reader and it did not go through, mainly because it was not a credit card but in fact a junior cinema pass. i gently explained he couldn’t use that to buy things in shops and he looked so gutted that i was like “…but just this once you can have it for free, don’t tell my boss though” he said thank you and walked out with his truffle and as he went i heard him chuckling to himself and saying “yes….. yes!!!!!” like the sickos comic
idk i just keep thinking about how like. seven thousand people were murdered. if seven thousand people were murdered in america there would be massive outpourings of public grief but because the people murdered were far away and belonged to a country the us doesnt support theyre just statistics and numbers to like everyone around me and theyre just going about their days. i have literally never heard seen this level mass murder on a short condensed time scale like this in my lifetime and no one is reacting. i feel like im going insane
