Magus Archives Fanart (WIP)

So, I’ve got this in my planner (still working on it) so I remember all the entities.

Dunno where to go with it next, guess it counts as fan art...but yeah.

Been a while since I was so hooked on something.

Review of the book Zeus Grants Stupid Wishes by Cody O’Brien.

To sum up this book in a single sentence - “What would happen is Deadpool wrote a mythology book.”

Yeah, this guy-

Wrote a book. Here are some examples of why I think this.

GREEK MYTHOLOGY 

The Greek creation myth.

The story of Hephaestus god of Blacksmithing and Aphrodite Goddess of Love.

The story of the Minotaur. 

NORSE MYTHOLOGY

Norse creation myth.

Odin orders Loki to steal Freyja’s necklace. He does. This is so in character for both of them Freyja instantly knows who to blame.  

EGYPTIAN MYTHOLOGY

Ra gets mad at humanity and creates Sekhmet Lion Goddess of Killing Stuff. 

How Isis retrieves her huband’s coffin from the support pillar it got stuck inside.

MAYAN MYTHOLOGY

How to try and kill the god Zipacna and fail. 

CHRISTIANITY MYTHOLOGY

How God made Eve from Adam’s rib. 

The story of how King Solomon judges proper maternal instinct. 

HINDU MYTHOLOGY

Men ask Shiva to stop Kali’s murder rampage.

And this is how he does it. 

JAPANESE MYTHOLOGY

The Goddess Izanami gives birth to the whole island of Japan. 

A story about Tanuki.

AFRICAN MYTHOLOGY

Creation myth

SUMERIAN MYTHOLOGY

Creation myth

The Epic of Gilgamesh: Being born

The Epic of Gilgamesh: Meeting his best friend.

NATIVE AMERICAN MYTHOLOGY

Do I really need to explain why I feel the Merc with a mouth was involved in the retelling here?

the thing about shakespeare is that when it’s done right, when it’s done well, it should sound like it’s coming from the soles of your shoes, being dredged up from the dark places in your lungs and exhaled in a rush, before it burns your mouth. There are pauses, swallows, reverberations, inflections, because how else are you to laugh and sing and snarl and spill forth these lines?

shakespeare done well by actors who know what they’re doing stops sounding like shakespeare. It slips inside your blood, inflects you brain, raging through your system until this is the only language you have ever known, will ever need. It makes the theater the world entire.

shakespeare should sound like lightning; it should turn the air silver.

and once you’ve witnessed that, it’s hard to accept anything less.

Best quote of MAG 111

Never not funny. Obviously, Johnny! 😩

Gerry: Thing is, It’s harder than it looks - What’s out there doesn’t care about blood.

John:...Well, I mean...Except for the vampires

Gerry: Yeah, obviously - except for the vampires!

But they care about your choices, your fears, not your parents. Families are just useful because they can push you in the right direction.

My mom puts together a lot of those "fairy garden" things, and I'm cool with it, tiny furniture is fun, but I've had to stop her from getting tiny signs that say "Welcome Fairies" because I feel like explicitly welcoming fairies is just asking for trouble.

you need to stop me from screaming about conspiracies because This Is Their Doing

tl;dr this woman was hearing creepy phantom nursery rhymes every night and it turned out to be a local industrial building’s alarm system, being triggered by spiders on the motion detectors

which is all well and good but “we investigated the creepy nursery rhymes, and it turns out it’s spiders” is one hell of a true statement

The Octopus Discussion

Talking with my psych yesterday I described the random delusional ideas, weird hallucinations, and annoyingly random obsessive thoughts as my brain bursting in to the room, dumping an angry live octopus in my lap and just fucking off.

Like, it’s weird to start with, yes - but what the fuck do you do with it? You can identify what it is pretty easy, what prompted the thing or where t came from is sorta irrelevant at the current time. You can try and work around it, or try and get rid of it... but whatever you choose it’s gonna be weird and difficult and require some really strange logic.

She likes my metaphors. 🤗

More adventures of my weird brain

Me: *minding my own business*

Brain: There are nine.

Me: what?

Brain: There are nine.

Me: Nine what?

Brain: .....

Me: ......

Brain: There are nine.

Me: NOTHING I AM DOING OR HAVE ACCESS TO HAS TO DO WITH THIS!!

Brain: There are nine.

Me: Nine? Are you Yoko Ono? Are there nine rings?... wait...Is this a warning? Am I psychic? Am I supposed to assemble a foretold group of nine people?

Brain: There are nine.

Me: Oh my god. What if I have to save nine people? Or there are nine... something... oh god. I dunno! What do I do? Is there a world changing nine people I have to find?

Laziness: could you be bothered doing that even if it were true?

Me: ... you have a point.

Brain: There are nine.

Me and Laziness: SHUT UP!
