I think it's also interesting to note on top of Ramshackle's point that Ridcully is the one who stopped the wizards from ripping reality apart so much... And he's also intimately tied to Esme Weatherwax. I do 100% think that Ridcully learned some Headology from her and is using it in deliberate ways to keep the other wizards in line.

(Also, something something the magic of people who can do the kind of accounting and economics that keeps a household chugging along on an amount of money that should be impossible vs the people who play stocks and buy crypto and keep big corporations from having to pay taxes....)

I love how Discworld introduces Granny Weatherwax.

She is introduced as a witch, but it's not actually clear if she can do any magic for quite some time. At first all she does is herbal medicine and Headology, aka make-believe, mind tricks, placebos and basically tricking people.

Even when it becomes clear that she flies around on a broomstick and can project her mind into other living things, it's still not obvious if she can do any magic beyond that.

And then she and her buddies magically move an entire country 15 years into the future, and it becomes very clear that she's not only very much capable of doing magic, but she's one of the strongest, if not the strongest magic user in the entire world who can do stuff like summon death himself with nothing but a candle, and I am not even sure she really needs the candle.

Compare that to the wizards. The first impression you get of them is that they're powerful magic users, I mean they are wizards in a fantasy world, people fear them for their magic, and they got a whole magic college, so they must be powerful, right? They even look down on witches because they "don't use real magic"... and because they're usually women.

Granted, the very first (and best) wizzard we're introduced to can't even do any magic, but he seems like an outlier. Then you hear more and more about the magic college and other wizards, and it becomes clear that most wizards are arrogant and lazy fucks who can't do much magic beyond basic fireballs, turning people into frogs and maybe teleportation. Even the head-wizard of the college was completely helpless after running out of juice from a single teleportation spell.

Even when all the wizards become incredibly powerful, thanks to circumstances beyond their control, all they use their magic for is building really tall wizard towers and raging wars against each other. Wars which are ripping holes into reality, which threaten to release unspeakable horrors from the unspeakable horrors dimension.

Like... the books used most reader's assumptions and expectations, aka 'Headology', to make them underestimate Granny Weatherwax while overestimating the Wizards.

Just *chef's kiss* world building.

Research has shown time and again that in the wake of disaster, humans overwhelmingly express community and compassion.

Everyone talked shoot November 5th. The day the world turned upside down. When everything and anything happened. When it all felt like it was moving so fast you could blink and you’d miss it.

But today, on November 6th, it was silent.

The world froze.

Everything stopped.

It felt like every step forward was in molasses because of what thr future would have in store.

But, on that day, something beautiful happened.

From everywhere, from across nations, from around the world, so many people today chose to be kind.

I saw hundreds of posts today about holding each other’s hand. I saw so many hotlines and support groups be shared. I saw so many people preaching to anyone to stay strong.

I saw the world take a breath, let it out, and say, ��What can we do? How can I help? How can I stay strong?”

Yesterday was a somber day. But it was also so beautiful. And when tomorrow and tomorrow comes, I am confident that this community is going to be ready.

Thank you all :)

I love how Starscream fans are like, "The writers really need to stop making Starscream suffer." And then we go to write fanfiction like, "For what so beautiful if not to call babygirl and make cry?"

The duality of man...

Writing absolutely filthy erotica and evading the mature content filters by rendering any and all sex-related nouns, verbs and adjectives in an untranslated constructed language.

“steven universe is off model :( she-ra is cal-arts wah wah” back in MY DAY the transformers animators snorted COKE in the STUDIO and WE WERE GRATEFUL

Listen. LISTEN.

This is what GenAI was truly created for. Trust me. Give it the job description and your resume and it will write you a bomb ass bullshit cover letter in 2 seconds flat. Just do a little tweaking if it's a job you really wanna impress.

applying for jobs seems to mostly consist of lying and submitting to indignities, which is whatever. but it is very difficult for me to override my innate instinct that anyone demanding i write a cover letter has insulted me so greatly that the only way to retain my honor is violence

Oh I thought it was gonna be a joke about Optimus Primal and his That's just Prime thing

“don🦍t believe anything your brain tells you after 9 pm” wrong. the prime time for decision making is when you🦍re sleep deprived

I was reading some transformers fanfiction and it's a solely underutilized idea to have humans and Cybertronians be in a symbiotic relationship. In nature all the time big animals will rely on smaller animals' help.

For example humans could give repairs, clean them, and help them reach smaller places. Cybertronians can give transportation and protection of course. They're emotional benefits too; humans are really nice soft things to touch and humans like having big robot friends :3.

So I'm imagining transformers realize how useful it is to have a human partner around so they start going around trying to get one. Anyways this leads to shenanigans of course and a lot of cracky moments.

Suspiciously nice looking car in a driveway with its door opened: ....

The random human who owns the driveway: ...

Human: *turns around* Screw that! I'm not becoming part of the human distribution system today, no sir I am not.

Cybertronian: *sad beeping noises*
