the show chb logo was also ripped from fandom, like in the past decade all the official chb shirt had the logo without the circle and then the fandom started doing and the show went for it, sorry your tags reminded me of that

[Link to post/tags in question]

Yeah, I know Delphi Strawberry Service has done more circular-based CHB shirt designs for ages, and I've seen the more circular-based designs floating around for awhile. I think Magicbysab's circular-based CHB shirt designs also predate the show design? Those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head. I understand on a level that if they did base it off fandom designs, particularly if they're basing anything on widespread fanon or fandom-based concepts, it can be difficult to pin down credit or may even seen unnecessary. But if they're going to be doing that I feel like at least they could hire like, a fandom consultant of sorts? Instead of just ripping off from the fandom, hire someone from the community who produces that already so at least there's some recognition and acknowledgement of where it originated.

Heck, in some instances if you ask around in the fandom it's not hard to pinpoint who specifically popularized certain concepts! I could talk for ages about Cherryandsisters being a driving force behind photokinesis!Will, or Saberghatz with plague!Will (tbh between the two they spearheaded a ton of early Will/Solangelo fanon), and I swear Drksanctuary alone is behind like 50% of Alabaster fanon, etc etc etc. People in the fandom know these things! Heck, we know ReadRiordan company knows how to do that kind of thing! They commissioned Viria for the official art, and the UK Riordan newsletter reaches out to fans all the time to feature their work (with credit, they're one of the better ones)! Though in Rick's book tours he did showcase Viria's art (at least with credit) without asking before she got commissioned, and during the Tower of Nero book tours they actually straight up stole a solangelo edit from Pervysloth with completely zero credit (link is to my canon url readriordan parody blog).

I think it doesn't help as well that Rick and his editor allegedly use the fandom wiki in place of a series bible. The PJO wiki is notorious for putting inaccurate information or fanon onto pages at random and having no sources. (What I wouldn't give for the PJO wiki to have frequent book/page sources a la Warrior Cats wiki...) There are what, now almost 18 books in the main series alone? Of an extremely renowned best-selling series that's 20 years old and now being adapted for TV? And they STILL don't have a series bible? That's like, step 1 of writing a series. This kind of reliance of the fandom for resources and concepts definitely isn't new for them.

It just feels so bizarre as to what it says about how the ReadRiordan company views the fandom and the creatives within it. I understand that trying to figure out how to give credit to the concept of "CHB shirt design, but circular!" is difficult, if you even can find out who did that first or popularized it. But if you're going to rip things from fandom, at least find somebody to try and credit? Show that you put in even the tiniest amount of effort? And if you get it wrong and people know, they'll correct you and that's that! But ReadRiordan just keeps trying to actively obscure these kinds of things, even with their own media, not ripped from the fandom, which makes it feel all the worse when it gets pointed out. And a lot of the time the whole reason those concepts get popular is because they're filtered through big names in the fandom! The fandom is a community! We know these people! We can point to them and explain exactly what they popularized! Remember how Velinxi popularized long haired Piper with the heart-shaped flyaways? Goodness only knows how many fandom designs are heavily influenced by Viria and Minuiko and Burdge (and Indigonite and Fuocogo and Ikimaru and Thecottonproject and Joker-ace and Sixofclovers and Vikingmera and Saber and Cherry and and and-). If you are in the community this stuff is easy to find. But Rick and the ReadRiordan company clearly being ~5 years behind with fanon pretty obviously tells me that they're not in the community at all, and aren't bothering trying.

don't touch that dial!

(ronance edition!)

Robin wakes up with Nancy Wheeler in her house. Her house. Not her parents. Hers. Nancy’s in the kitchen, in a dress and hair curled and pinned back in a way that Robin has never seen, already making a cup of tea (Robin hates coffee, but she doesn’t remember telling Nancy that…) and greets her with a, “Hi, Robbie,” and a quick kiss on the cheek. Robin freezes. Her stomach flip-flops and she feels her face warm and she’s not totally sure how to react without shattering whatever this is. So she answers with a weak, “Hi.” Somewhere in the back of her mind, something screams THIS ISN’T REAL. Duh. She gathered that already. But the problem is it’s not her voice in her skull telling her this. She doesn’t know who it is, or why they’re telling her information that she already knows. The biggest worry in her mind is that this isn’t her Nancy. Her Nancy, the real Nancy, would be fighting and kicking and screaming because this is not the life that Nancy wanted. Robin would know too, in-between their world saving adventures, Nancy told her what her future looked like, and being a ‘50s housewife was not one of them. Robin hates the ‘50s. She hates the way her hair is done and she hates the dress she’s been shoved into and she hates the canned laughter (seriously, can anyone else hear that?) and— “Robin?” “Yes, dear?” Robin answers without thinking, going along with whatever this illusion wants. Nancy’s frowns a moment, breaking the tight smile she had on her face, and briefly Robin wonders whether she’s aware of their current predicament, too. If Nancy’s aware like she is, and just simply playing along—just better at hiding it. It’s too risky though to outright ask her, so for now she’s just going to have to read her newspaper (that doesn’t have any articles written by Nancy—seriously?) and find a way to tune out that damned laugh track.

Alright, I'll bite: How does magic work in Arcane Rifts?

*COUGH*

✨LORE POST✨

topics: ⚜ axiomatic magic ⚜ axiom ⚜ glavnran's axiom (aka pantheon)

categories: ⚜ #the faechild worldbuilding ⚜ #worldbuilding-blocks ⚜ #on axiom ⚜ #on magic ⚜ #on glavnran ⚜ #on kavo

So, magic in tAR actually works pretty much the same as in the rest of my works! Except... also not. (lol)

Like in the rest of the (in-universe) world, magic is infused within everything to one degree or another. The Faewildes' intrusion upon Reality in the early years deeply changed it, and especially imbued magic within humanity.

Now, there's many different kinds of magic. The most commonly known ones are fae and axiomatic magic—magic that is bent and molded by people's beliefs. Fae magic is unique to the fae and the Faewildes (but, as mentioned before, got infused within humanity and the world itself). Axiomatic magic, on the other hand, is naturally local due to how it's shaped by people's beliefs.

In short: axiomatic magic arises from religion, folklore, and stories.

So, while tAR's magic is technically just like the rest of the world's—where magic is typically tied to the individual and always requires essence—tAR has its own unique axiomatic magic.

Significant events important to the plot in Kavo's history led to a mass exodus of mages from the town. However, magic isn't always obvious, can be purposely hidden, and can develop in an individual through exposure or being gifted it later on by a higher power. So there are mages within Kavo, Glavnran—but just about all of them have the local axiomatic magics of one of their gods.

These gods, of course, being Glavnran's main pantheon of five: - Bhayol (the sea, ocean wind, trade, society) - Rholvny (fire, the hearth, healing, fertility) - Zhrizn (wild nature, corruption, disaster) - Ertzat (death, blizzards, cold, the afterlife) - and the nigh-forgotten Zhelevol (???)

The gods within the Reborn World (which I'm now realizing I REALLY need to give a different, official name lol) all have wider, more abstract domains than what I just listed. What I described above are simply over-arching concepts that mostly encompass what the Glavni people believe of them.

In other words... what is true of their powers, and always will be.

Kavo's populace is largely devoid of magic, but the few who do have it often hide it, or otherwise have godly associations.

For example: - Nikolai, the chief of police, was blessed by Ertzat. He has a resistance to the cold, suffers immensely in the heat (lol), and can near-effortlessly control snow and blizzard-winds.

- Indah, the head of Kavo's Church of Rholvny, has a resistance to heat and fire, especially struggles in the cold, and has fire and healing magic.

- Adilzhan, the local devil's messenger boy priest of Zhrizn, has nature magic. He's able to grow and manipulate forestry, has mild control of the earth, and can influence animals around him. (As well as a few other things... 🙂😉)

- Mislav, a boy whose family was killed by Zhrizn's order Adilzhan and was thereafter taken in by him, has life magic. He's able to control nature around him, influence living things around him, and heal.

(As well as a few other things 😈😘)

Reminder: everyone's magic requires essence—or magical energy—which is separate but related to their typical energy reserves. This is true across all of magic within my stories. Unless you're Sammy or Victor... 🤔

With 221 interested responses, we are moving forward with our zine! We are so incredibly excited to put this together and share our love for shuake!

Out of our interested parties, we had 111 artists, 75 writers, and 53 merch artists!

We will have digital merch with this zine! Merch types will be finalized when our contributors are picked.

We will be accepting 25-30 artists and 15-20 writers into the zine!

In addition to these, 67% of respondents indicated interest in guest contributors, so we will be picking 5-10 guests from the creators recommended. (Meaning the total number will range from 45-60!)

Though Rivals was originally intended to be a free zine, most respondents indicated they would be interested in a small charity donation to access the zine and an optional place to donate to contributors.

We received some fantastic questions! If yours still needs answering, we are reachable through curiouscat, our tumblr inbox, twitter and tumblr dms, and our email. All of these are linked in our carrd! We also have an FAQ in our carrd, so check it out!

We really appreciate all of the support we’ve received so far! Contributor applications open September 9th, and we hope to hear from you again then! Thank you!!!

Happy Cicero Sunday! How are u? ^_^ -⛄

I'm a day late!! Noooo!!!

To answer your question, I am doing fine :D I know this blog has been silent for a while now and the fic has been on a brief hiatus, but rest assured I am working on it still!! My goal is to get an update out sometime between now and this Saturday o7

[capricores]

happy NYE guys!! wishing you all the best in the new year 🥺💗 are you guys doing any sort of "rituals" or resolutions for the new years?? i'm taking inspiration from some people i saw online, and i'm spending today:

• journalling all the awful shit that happened to me this year, and writing down any limiting beliefs i have/things i want to let go, then i'm going to burn that paper

• writing out resolutions/goals + affirmations/manifestations for the new year in a journal and being so extremely detailed about it so there's no room for interpretation

• making a vision board relating to the life i hope to have in the next year

i think it'll be fun and hopefully impactful in a positive way?! 😭

[spectrearia]

trying to tell myself that making a minecraft skin for my friend counts as art and i need to not be mad about the fact that i haven't been able to draw or write anything because i dID SOMETHING its just not the normal kind of art i Want to do >:0!!!

[mitamicah]

I guess I’ve felt a bit off from the rest of the kääryleet the last few days and I am not liking it very much.

I want to be in agreement with you guys and get excited like you do ... it has just been a bit harder this weekend which sucks since there’s a new song and cool new MV theories and I am here like: slow down would you for the old man? (me)

this doesn’t make any sense possibly but I guess I’ll just say sorry for not being up to speed and for being a bit moody/unamused.
