As a Christian who loved Harry Potter, I was never told not to read the books because of anything besides witchcraft being an affront to God. Not because Rowling portrayed the cross as something other than what it was or said Jesus was a wizard (though that is a hot take I kind of love). Shit, they literally celebrated Christmas.

DoubleTrippleShit, you’re talking about dying on hills when you dug a hole to build yours. It’s not stupid to respect cultures. Maybe just imagine your own creatures instead of being rude and acting as if you’re entitled to the culture of others.

ive certainly been guilty in the past, we all have, but.. please take some time to research whatever “monster” youre gonna draw or write into your story…? so many “cryptids” and “generic monsters” are actually specifically cultural stories, spirits etc. ya know. there’re absolutely more than this but off the top of my head:

wendigoag (algonquin spirits, not a cryptid)

golem are jewish, not random creatures

etc etc. just be mindful and aware yall

A quick life tip: DO NOT YELL AT CASHIERS. DO NOT TELL US WHAT OUR STORE POLICY IS. DO NOT CALL US STUPID AND BELITTLE US.

We know what we’re doing. And we’re not doing these things to spite you. But I’m not losing my job over your coupons.

Hey so I found this in my Syntax book that I bought used from the SIU bookstore. The name is either hawberries or havberries. I love it btw, it’s amazing and I think it’s Angus from TAZ but it’s not mine. Someone bought this or made this and I have no way of knowing who forgot this in their book. Help me out!

Jane: “Hi everybody, this is Jane, and welcome back to our podcast: Magical Bullshit! Today we will be doing some magical bullshit! Like always, am I right?”

Keith: “Jane.”

Jane: “Anyways, so you guys know that I am not the fantasy savvy one. So, logically, it should be Everett who leads this group. He should be the only one who decides what quests we do and what jobs we take. But I live to piss off Everett. So today, I have taken a job from a very shady elf to steal back an object, that he could give me no details about how it was stolen in the first place, from a suspicious looking woman. Joining me today is our good buddy, Keith!”

Keith: “Hey guys. I didn’t want to help her with this but she stole my last pair of normal world socks.”

Jane: “Keith is very enthusiastic to be here. Anyways, we did a little recon on this woman and I’m almost thirty percent sure she’s a witch. Which is good since I am immune to fire and that seems to be witches’ favorite thing to hurl at me. Keith is still very flammable but he’s prepared to use me as a human shield.”

Keith: “I am. Are you ready?”

Jane: “Yes! Hold on tight everybody! Things are about to get crazy.”

*sounds of crunching leaves and a stick snapping. A window opens*

*indistinct breaking in noises*

*very loud crash*

Jane: “Fuck’s sake, Ketih.”

*fireball sound*

Keith: “Sonofa—.”

*second fireball sound*

*phone drops and the noise becomes muffled. Either they are fighting the witch or someone spilled a very large pot of soup and is trying desperately to fix that mistake. Someone shouts something indstinct and the fighting stops. Several minutes pass before the phone is picked up.*

Jane: “Holy shit! Alright, so, Maggie here is actually not a thief! Turns out the shady elf is a dick who has been trying to steal from her for years. Now we’re gonna go fight him! I’m gonna turn this off for a while but I’ll turn it back on when we confront Dick Elf!”

Online classes are killing me. Morphology and Syntax are okay online, the professor is pretty good with technology so I’m still getting it. But Phonology gave me problems when I had the freedom to work with people and ask questions in real time. Online, it makes me want to cry.
