if you're feeling powerless right now—and god knows I am—here's a reminder you can donate to the National Network of Abortion Funds, the Trans Law Center, Gaza Soup Kitchen, the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, and hundreds of other charities that will work to mitigate the damage that has been and will continue to be inflicted

life continues. we still have the capacity to do good, important work. that matters

I feel like Bilbo would teach the elves of Rivendell the concept of a mathom with the express purpose of oh so politely asking them over dinner how were the Silmarils not a mathom

Not much focus on rehabilitation

imagine the bad kids meeting the magical misfits.

Like Evan getting therapy from Jawbone and getting to actually talk to an adult who would understand things like fighting people in gas station parking lots

And Jammer and Fabian immediately becoming besties and Riz and Evan being kinda jealous but out of earshot they're just talking about their little weirdos they care so much about

They would be so impressed by Adaine's physical abilities like she punched her father to death in one hit, this aint some weak ass Gowpenny wizard, she can hit

Also she has an amazing familiar, Boggy and T2 would get along so well

I love to imagine them going into spyre assuming it's going to be like gowpenny then Riz just pulls out a gun and they're like WHAT THE FUCK. He assumes they don't have guns in their world and starts explaining it to them and they're like 'no we know how that works (and put that shit away) we just don't know how you're allowed to have that at school'

Because I remember disinformation being spread around the last few elections and I’m sure assholes will bring it back:

YOU CAN’T VOTE ONLINE.

YOU CAN’T VOTE FROM YOUR PHONE.

IN MANY STATES THERE ARE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES FOR PHOTOGRAPHING YOUR BALLOT.

DO NOT WEAR CAMPAIGN GEAR TO THE POLLS.

DO NOT TRY TO PERSUADE PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR A CANDIDATE AT THE POLLS.

DO NOT ENGAGE IN ANY KIND OF POLITICAL DISCOURSE AT THE POLLS.

NO ELECTION IS EVER A SURE THING, EVEN IF YOU’RE IN THE BLUEST OR REDDEST OF STATES.  IF SOMEONE TRIES TO TELL YOU THAT YOU CAN SIT THIS ONE OUT, THEY ARE EITHER IGNORANT OR MALICIOUS.

VOTE.

Evan Kelmp in the my style of american animation/anime

@quiddie this season is amazing. thank you so much!

"What are you willing to B R E A K to keep the world you know?" "It's okay to sacrifice a little more for the normalcy you remember..."

meta under cut!

Just a bullet list of thoughts!

The parallel between Evan Kelmp's wand being of made of bone and Lemli snapping bones is what inspired this piece. they're both showing how they revert back to their natural states: Evan grew up in a constant survival state, always prepared for a fight. And then there's Lemli who fell back on the guidance of bigoted followers of the old way of magic once the Pilot Program left.

Evan's stance has his shoulders raised, his eyes peering through his brow ridge, a tight white knuckle grip on his wand. he's ready for a battle. Lemli is relaxed, detached. She's become desensitized to doing what must be done even if it involves murder.

I read some Tumblr user's live reaction of how K's broken rib could've released magic too and the fact that Lemli was the first one who made it to them was probably no coincidence. so I wanted to capture some of that magic essence coming from K

I also don't know any code and saw this screencap of some captcha code and thought it was low-key funny to have Boudy's magic succeed the captcha in order to get through the pink firewall

Forever haunted by the fact that Kristen met so many "that's you but..." iteration of herself in fhjy. Here's your little brother, with all his good intentions about to be molded into what you failed to be. Here's your foil, a glimpse of alternate present day if you never stray. And here's you, with support you can't afford, oh, how more bearable you could be.

But what a wacky silly character you are, Applebees

This piece is part of Prodigal Daughter: a Kristen Applebees Zine! The Zine is available for download now including tons of amazing kristen applebees art. It's pay-what-you-want and all proceeds will be donated to Care For Gaza, check it here!

Hunt for the Night Yorb!

Brennan’s talked before about how as a poor young adult he lived in New York and struggled with food security. He tells a story of going to frozen yogurt places for free samples and a cheap dumpling spot because it was a lot of food.

His opinions on food and his described behaviours around food make a lot of sense in that context. He may be successful now and can be assured he can eat again when he’s hungry, but it appears he has legitimate trauma around his experiences with poverty because what he’s humorously describing is a trauma response. His mind hasn’t gotten rid of the anxiety of “I’m eating now so I better make it count because I don’t know when I will again.”

Because he’s a comedian he manages to frame it as a joke, but there’s certainly an underlying sadness. It also informs Evan Kelmp’s characterization. Capitalism is the root issue here and poverty is state-sanctioned economic abuse.

Anyway, I hope he’s doing well and taking care of himself.

pirates of the caribbean really introduced an eldritch octopus man who kills indiscriminately and torments the dead as their poster villain and then you watch the movies and it's like, "oh no, actually the worst villain in this series is a small white british man who functions as the herald of capitalism" and that was very very brave of them

I know this is obvious but I’m thinking about Evan’s shoes again and like. the boy who walks down the highway in Iowa in brand-less, beat-up sneakers. the first magical item he got for himself. was a pair of nice shoes that are resistant to environmental effects. no matter how sad and bare his life is, he’ll never have to walk with cold feet in shitty sneakers in the Midwest snow ever again.

EDIT : THIS IS A MEME DO NOT TAKE IT SERIOUSLY (and seriously just don’t be Rude????? Like wtf lol)
