Rise Up, Oh Heart, For There is Another Battle to Win

diannaofthemyscira asked: When I was younger, I only read to book 13 of Animorphs before my mom told me that I should read more mature books and my school library didn't have past book 13 so I stopped but I found your blog and book overviews and now I'm reading it again and what the fuck. This is not for children, I mean, it is, but it's not. And I love all my children so much and I completely adore your Animorphs tag. I don't have time to read during the school year, so I'm trying to get as many books in

over the summer as I can, and I am just now caught up on #13, but I just wanted to say I love your blog and your thoughts on Animorphs so thanks so much. <3

Honestly bless?  I love this comment so much, I hope you don’t mind me publishing it so that I can keep it forever?  I’ve enjoyed watching you go through my Animorphs tag so much, tbqh, and I’m frankly honored to have dragged so many people into this series with me.  And you’re so right, these books are not for children, but they’re for kids, but also I would never be allowed to give them to a child.  (I would give them to a child, let’s be honest, I’m a mess of a child tender.  But those of my friends who would be the kid’s parents would probably stop me.)  

If you’re in the market for other Animorphs folks, my one-stop-shop is @chromatographic as well as @derinthemadscientist, also @incorrectmorpherquotes is fucking hilarious, trolling Chroma and Derin’s stuff can point you to other people (I say as I use familiar nicknames like I’ve ever exchanged more than a couple words with them I’m so sorry y’all).

Please feel free to always always come talk to me about Animorphs more at all times.  ESPECIALLY my sad bird boy.

Washington State (not DC) is the only state in the union where you can legally have a fistfight with somebody (with police as referees) to settle your differences

That should be a law all across the country.

Fuck. Yes.

@jooshbag ?

This is tied to an archaic law that isn’t enforced anymore.

So if you beat the shit out of someone they won’t do anything?

Oh no this is still enforced, and in fact we actually Have a few vigilante superheroes 

Like Phoenix Jones who actually patrol the streets and challenge criminals, the police usually get called, and they watch as Phoenix Jones pummels them because Phoenix Jones is actually an MMA fighter. 

I gasped and my eyes got so wide after reading this

That man is AWESOME

Apparently for about three years he had an actual superhero team of people with military, medical and martial artist backgrounds he personally trained and equipped, but eventually disbanded. He didn’t give specifics, but said that some of them were “the wrong kind of people” and were too dangerous. There are really for real things that happened.

Also someone tried to be an “arch nemesis” to him named Rex Velvet, some nerd wearing an eyepatch and a fake mustache who didn’t hurt anybody but made surprisingly polished, melodramatic and goofy callout videos from an abandoned warehouse and presumably pulled some annoying pranks.

@fiiyerotigelaar

Did some research about Phoenix Jones: guy is legit. Ex-MMA fighter like the post says, but what the post FAILED to mention is this guy has legit superhero-grade equipment. His suit’s actually made of armor-plated and bulletproof materials, and it has a functional utility belt with lined with stuff like handcuffs, a stun gun, pepper spray, and the like for performing citizens arrests and non-lethally detaining actually armed and violent criminals.

Seattle actually has it’s own LEGAL batman

bruh

My dream career.

As an entry-level DnD player can someone explain to me in the simplest possible way how to differentiate wizards, warlocks, and sorcerers from each other?

wizards is imbued with magic, you just need to prepare mentally your spells.

sorcerer studied magic, you need to physically prepare your spells and often need materials.

warlock has magic because of demon, you have access to mainly dark magic as well as eldritch blast as a free unlimited cantrip.

to be honest, play-wise wizards & sorcerers are very similar as they tend to have a lot of shared spells. sorcerers get to specialize in a school of magic more than wizards though. and warlock its pretty much just dark magic.

this, except reverse wizards and sorcerers.

sorcerers innately have their magic (usually because someone fucked a magic being. often a dragon)

wizards studied magic and learned accordingly. they also tend to be older, but not always.

warlocks get their magic from pacts with magic beings (which i don’t think necessarily have to be demons).

As @tymna just said. @wearesorcerer & @we-are-warlock

Like this?

To paraphrase many posts:

How did you get your magic, Magic Person?

Warlock: THE DEMONS COMMUNE WITH ME.

Wizard: … I’m ninety, live in a tower, and read all day. where the fuck do you think? (Alternate answer: Basically radically experimental guerilla chemists)

Sorcerer/ess: Natural ability and a stupid amount of work!

Druid: The plants love me! I love the plants! Have you met my wife she is a shrub! T H E   P L A N T S   E M P O W E R    M E

Cleric: I am a literal saint back the fuck off and do your job if you want heals.

Bard: IDK i was in a rap battle and the other guy literally caught fire so like…. yeah.

Reblogging again for the Druid, Cleric, and that bard line.

Anonymous asked: Goddamn, i did not know you spoke latin properly. i only know like two phrases. i am so glad anon is a thing that exists rn.

Pfffft, corculum, let’s not pretend “ability to talk dirty in Latin” is a life skill here, okay?  I took a couple years and read some Catullus/Virgil, and then our teacher had us translate erotica as a reward for all of us doing well on a test.  He’s a weird dude.

But on the other hand I’ve been pretty depressed tonight and talking dirty in a dead language made me feel good about myself, so gratias tibi ago, corculum meum, teque amo.
