i played through a little bit of the free w101 and can i just ask why are the tutorial bits back to back now????

like why am i being force fed info every few lines???

[zorphie]

currently doing a bunch of wiz lore research for oc reasons but i like it when my ocs are just. silly. random facts that serve zero purpose whatsoever

rn it is about a bunch of creatures in wiz and im thinking. seraphs. hmm yea (<- is trying to work on my ocs' powers/abilities outside of game mechanics spellcasting)

i know althea had to sacrifice a lot of her power in order to reincarnate two very powerful gods as mortals (erin and quinn) (also sacrifice her time. she has two dragon children trashing the house now) so i imagine she's sisters with lady oriel and passed down the role of "princess of the seraphs" to her.. also want more lady oriel content

anyways she's like erin and quinn's aunt now and i giggle to myself thinking about how when quinn ends up on unicorn way trying to save it he keeps getting frustrated with trying to figure out how wands and cards work and would rather just cause a giant hailstorm in his dragon form, (which would destroy the whole street) and oriel has to babysit this very chaotic child

erin comes in and oriel cannot keep her hedge maze in peace because the two are running around like tiny rats as baby dragons and scaring away all the fairies. unicorn way has a new problem now and it's not the undead this time

atm im also trying to make a phoenix and leviathan oc too, and they're pirates.... ill be back with an update on this one in like 72 years

Love how "Darkness" and "Death" are different from each other with Lady Oriel. She says she can see the Light in me even though I'm a necromancer, and Rattlebones is shrouded in Darkness, but he also uses Death magic.

And today I learned Ceren's name is pronounced "See-rehn" not "Sair-ehn".

[a-spiral-into-madness]

Jasmine Thundershade

Pronouns: She/Her

School: Myth

Age: Early 20s

Level: 50 (huzzah! We've reached Celestia!)

Origin: Earth

Backstory under the cut :)

Jasmine has had the weight of the Spiral on her shoulders since before she was a teenager. Plucked out of her average, Earthly school existence and dropped into the world of the Spiral, she eagerly tackled her new duties from Headmaster Ambrose with tidy efficiency. Through her first several years in Wizard City, she made it a point to spend time helping out each and every person she could, on every street she was able. She particularly enjoyed spending time with Lady Oriel and Ceren Nightchant in Unicorn Way, as well as hearing stories from Baldur Goldpaws in Olde Town, and one of her fondest memories was of breaking the curse on Feebo the Fire Elf. (She went to every performance of his at the Fireglobe Theatre after that day.)

By the time she was fifteen, she was finally allowed to travel from the safety and familiarity of Wizard City to the sandy world of Krokotopia. She had dutifully helped every member of Wizard City that she was able, and by Bartleby she would do it again in Krokotopia! As a parting gift (who knows from whom), she was gifted a pair of red dragon wings. They sort of just showed up in her dorm room one day, happily flapping about, and settled in on her shoulders whenever she decided to go outside, seemingly delighted to zoom her around to different places.

She left Krokotopia nearly two years later, more than happy to shake the sand out of her boots and eat something that wasn't tinged with a faint crunch of desert seasoning. Marleybone was a delightful change of pace, and she rather enjoyed meeting Sherlock Bones and visiting the Royal Museum. With all the money she'd gotten from questing, she even was able to save up enough money for her own little place - a nice little cottage with a quiet clearing for her to sit, and plenty of room for her wings to flap around and play.

Partway through solving the mystery of Meowiarty and saving Marleybone - nearly four years after she left Wizard City - she realized that Malistaire hadn't really made any significant progress on his diabolical evil plan. What was up with that, anyway? (Seems like everyone else she talked to had the diabolical-plan-stopping pretty well in hand, she presumed).

So, she resolved to travel the Spiral instead, visiting with her old friend Baldur Goldpaws and hitching a ride to Grizzleheim, as well as entering in a neat little inter-school dueling contest in Wysteria. After a while of Spiral-hopping, she decided she should probably stop procrastinating her proper World-Saving Non-Class-Work. With the help of some fellow wizards here and there, she beat Meowiarty at his own game, quested through Mooshu, and challenged her own professor for entrance to Dragonspyre. (A battle which she *definitely* won first try.)

Now a disgruntled college-age student and proud homeowner of a little slice of Hrundle Fjord (gifted to her by one Mr. Goldpaws), Jasmine runs on primarily coffee and the random, never-emptying plates of food that show up in her house on occasion. It's a peaceful life, at least (when she's not getting her butt kicked by [insert enemy here]). She got her dragon wings a friend (a pair of constellation-raven wings), and they're often seen chasing each other around the yard of her house.

After a long, hard-fought venture through the world of Dragonspyre, culminating in an epic and long-awaited thrashing of Malistaire Drake, she was able to finally finally kick back and relax, knowing that the day had been saved, and that there were definitely no more evil bad guys lurking in some far off corner of the Spiral.

...or so she hoped.

When Halston Balestrom tapped her to go explore the long lost city of Celestia a few months after her defeat of Malistaire, she had some albeit brief concerns about how involved she might become in some strange, conspiratorial plot. This expedition kind of thing was how it always started - someone poking their nose into something they shouldn't. But Jasmine had to admit, rumors of lost astral magic had piqued her interest, so she went regardless. As she had hoped, she began to learn a great deal about ways to empower her spells and strengthen her abilities. The Astral Archive quickly became a favorite, quiet place of respite in the chaos of the expedition, and she found herself lingering there in spite of herself. Perhaps she had missed doing her studies after all - it was a comfortable place to be, even with all the patrolling Pisceans about.

While she was studying one afternoon, an urgent message from Baldur Goldpaws arrived, telling her of dire news from Grizzleheim, about a coven of ravens attempting to bring about the Everwinter. Concerned for both her home and her friends, she left Celestia at once to see how she could help...

[celticbotanart]

ALRIGHT, since Halloween is just around the corner and this blog is ALSO about sharing and talking about my full-time hyperfixation (music), I want to make some recommendations of "unusual" or just unknown songs that very well fit the theme! I've mentioned before that I love making thematic playlists and that I have rules for them everything (it's serious shit!!), so I wanna share some of the songs featured in my "Ecclectic Halloween" playlist. The two basic rules I applied for that playlist are:

The song MUST include anything supernatural, spooky, bizarre, "murder/serial killer", classic creature and so on

The song can be of ANY genre; is it metal? Prog? Disco? Electronic? Soundtrack? COOL, ALL ARE WELCOME!

Let's get started!

1 - Rainbow - Tarot Woman

As an unapologetic 70s dad rock advocate, I HAVE to start with one of my fave bands of the genre! The song begins with a DOPE synth/keyboard solo, and then iconic Dio (the one Dio from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure was named after) comes in with a bunch of cryptic imagery, like the predictions the tarot woman is telling him as she turns the cards side on:

Something in the air Tells me to beware - No, no, no! Her love is like a knife She'll carve away your life - So go, go, go! Beware of a place, a smile on a bright shiny face I'll never return, how do you know? Tarot woman! But I don't know, I don't know!

2 - Blackmore's Night - I Guess It Doesn't Matter Anymore

From the same breed of the first song, cause Blackmore was the guitar player / composer for Rainbow - except that Blackmore's Night is a project he made way later (late 90s), with his wife Candice Night, who sings all the songs and composes with him. This song is about the CLASSIC tale of someone giving a lift to a mysterious woman they found wandering at the side of the road; when they get to the place she wanted to go and asks to leave, the driver turns around! And the lady, she's suddenly gone!!!!!

Standing in the rain, the cold and angry rain In a long white dress, a girl without a name She stood beneath the light, Glowing like a candle bright I guess it doesn't matter anymore (...) Finally she spoke, 'come pull off the road' Saying she was headin' home I turned and she was gone, I was all alone

3- Loreena McKennitt - The Bonny Swans

You might be asking: "Oriel, what the fuck, why is soft spoken-christmas songs-traditional folk medieval instruments Loreena McKennitt in this playlist at all??? With a song named like THAT?? What is so scary about pretty glorified ducks anyway?" - And to that I'll say right off the bat this is the most metal song in the entire playlist, and I say this unironically. This song is inspired by an old ballad and it tells about a girl who was drowned by her own sister out of jealousy of her betrothed; the sister kills her so she can have the lad for herself. It already has murder, as you can tell - but it gets WORSE, as the body of the drowned girl floats down the river and is found by a miller's daughter; a passing-by bard then uses the dead girl's bones and golden hair to make a harp that plays on it's own, possessed by the dead girl's spirit???? She (as the harp) asks to be taken to the court, the bard takes her, and AS A CURSED HARP MADE OF BONES the dead girl outs her sister as her murderer, in front of the entire family and the court. Look. If this isn't METAL AF, I don't know what ELSE can be. The "bonny swans" from the title comes from the comparison Loreena makes of the pale girl's body floating in the water, to swans swimming along. kkkkkkkkkkk JESUS.

He made harp pins of her fingers fair With a hey ho and a bonny o He made harp strings of her golden hair The swans swim so bonny o He made a harp of her breast bone With a hey ho and a bonny o And straight it began to play alone The swans swim so bonny o He brought it to her father's hall With a hey ho and a bonny o And there was the court, assembled all The swans swim so bonny o He laid the harp upon a stone With a hey ho and a bonny o And straight it began to play lone The swans swim so bonny o

4- Sting - Moon Over Bourbon Street

Probably one of the most fun songs in this, because it's a song written by Sting, inspired by Anne Rice's "Interview With the Vampire"! The song is under Louis' PoV, and he laments his current condition as a vampire and also as a man of god, as he wanders through New Orleans's streets. This Sting's live performance of this song (the live in Berlin, 2010) is my favorite by far - there's a whole ass epic orchestra and even a theremin! hehe

I pray everyday to be strong For I know what I do must be wrong Oh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet While there's a moon over Bourbon Street It was many years ago that I became what I am I was trapped in this life like an innocent lamb Now I can never show my face at noon And you'll only see me walking by the light of the moon

5- AQUA - Halloween

Yes, THAT AQUA - turns out they DO have more songs other than Barbie Girl, and they actually slap - I was there in the 90s, when the Deep Eurodance Magic was written. I LOVE this one because it has such a fun vibe, and obviously, inspired by the "Halloween" movie franchise - Lene plays as the girl alone at night who receives a call from René, playing as the psycho who's after her. They even act that scene at the begining of the song dsjfhjsdgf so cool!

The sound of shoes, a shadow that moves Something odd is tic tac ticking Someone's in here, I'm so full of fear The telephone is ringing!!

6- E Nomine - Das Tier In Mir

ONE OF MY ALL-TIME FAVES IN THIS PLAYLIST. E Nomine was (?) a German electronic music project who DARED to mix in dark techno/trance beats AND CHANTS IN LATIN, as this deep-voiced dude sings/borderline-raps in German. ITS HARD TO EXPLAIN, BUT I PROMISE, ITS SO SO SO DOPE. They also sang about all sorts of religious / dark fantasy themes - they have an entire album based on the Bible, which I promise, they made it a LOT MORE RAD AND COOL than it sounds; and another album about the supernatural and all kinds of creatures, like vampires, ghosts, werewolves, demons. "Das Tier in Mir" or "The Animal In Me" is their "werewolf" song - it starts off with this kid singing in Latin about the forest, and the moonlight, and the song goes on with Deep Voice Dude singing under the werewolf's perspective; it even features a dramatic transformation sequence!!

[Latin]The forest is hidden, in the moonlight, My home is the forest In the starlight (...) Dark clouds and dark thoughts, The full-moon night smashes my barriers down. The animal desire that I massacre comes in me. I feel this bloodlust here and now. Deep in the night the twinkling stars, A sweet smell is drawing me into the distance. But careful if my passion gets aroused quite gently in the night And the hunter wakes up in me! (Translation from here - it's rather clunky, but that's the gist of it!)

7- E Nomine - Mitternacht

Yep! Another one by E Nomine, BECAUSE THEY JUST SLAP TOO HARD. "Mitternacht", or "Midnight" is pretty much about the Witching Hour, all the spirits comes out when the bell strikes midnight!! This one is SUCH A FAVORITE of mine because it sounds EXACTLY what a DJ would play as vampires dressed in fancy, old outfits and masks waltz around in a haunted, opulent manor

When the gondolas are in mourning and the dead's lament resounds horror is breathing down your neck When the clock starts striking cold thick fog is touching you gently ...midnight! [Latin] midnight, dark night, cruelty of the soul the bell is ringing twelve times ...midnight! (Translation from here - same from previous song, kinda clunky but we get it)

8- Dead or Alive - Something In My House

Another classic banger with the catchiest fucking tune ever, by You-Spin-Me-Right-Round-Baby-Right-Round Dead or Alive, sung by ICONIC genderfucker wizard Pete Burns (the Gender Envy of him in this video is real). I have to admit, this one is SLIGHTLY cheating on my rules, cause the "something in my house" in question is not anything supernatural - it's a metaphor for a gone-wrong relationship, lol. Ngl, I think this is kinda fucking brilliant. But like, the spooky, Halloween-y vibes are all there nonetheless: wolves are howling, Pete is singing in an old castle and looking 200% like a vampire. Even if I'm cheating a little, it still fits!

There is something in my house - my house, It's just a ghost of a long long dead affair, There is something in my house - my house, I just keep a hearing you runnin' on up my stairs, But you're not there

9- League of Legends - Fiddlesticks, The Harbinger of Doom

Finally, some soundtracks! I don't play LoL, but I absolutely love some of the character's themes, and Fiddlestick's is one of them! For what I've got, Fiddlesticks is like this ancient, nightmare-ish Freddie Krugger-like entity, and BOY, does the song reflect exactly THAT. It SOUNDS like a horror movie, and I'm obsessed about it!!

When fields lie calm and wind stands still (Run home, run home) As the crows make night of the fading Sun (Hide now, hide now) When the trees do bow, as if they weep (Stay down, stay down) Though its light beckons forth, a melody calls out (Too late, too late)

10- The Alan Parson's Project - The Cask of Amontillado

And!!! Last but not least!! Closing this playlist with THIS ULTIMATE DAD PROG ROCK BANGER, which as you can see, is inspired by Poe's tale "The Cask of Amontillado". In fact, the entire album where that song comes from, "Tales of Mystery and Imagination - Edgar Allan Poe", is inspired by his work. Yeah there are also songs on "The Raven" and "The Fall of the House of Usher" too for example! It's just so cool! But "The Cask of Amontillado" is by far my favorite, specially with the instrumental part at the end, ughhhh <3

By the last breath of the four winds that blow I'll have revenge upon Fortunato Smile in his face I'll say "come let us go I've a cask of Amontillado" (...) You who are rich and whose troubles are few May come around to see my point of view What price the Crown of a King on his throne When you're chained in the dark all alone

This is definitely a long ass post, and I really had to cut it even shorter bc of Tumblr's dumbass video limit, but that's alright. I might even put up a part II, hehe I hope you like the Halloween-y songs recs!!

[saintsenara]

Very important question: Based on his canonical age and class background, is Tom Riddle Sr. a Drones Club member?

My unhinged ship: Since Luna is extremely Madeline Basset-coded, and best shipped with older men, Luna/Grindlewald (the best analog I could think of for Roderick Spode, whom she marries in the TV adaptation).

(Whereas Neville is definitely Gussie Fink-Nottle-coded).

i cackled.

yes. tom sr. is one hundo a drones club member. the assembled members call him "croaker" - after the avian specimen in that famous riddle, "why is a raven like a writing desk?"

he and bertie wooster were clearly at eton together and had a minor rivalry which continued at oxford when tom [oriel] beat bertie [magdalen] to the lowest pass-mark in the year. bertie regards tom as a bit weak in the top storey, and is very much of the opinion that if he had a jeeves of his own he'd never have got into all that gaunt mess. he is correct in this assessment.

and i am unavoidably compelled to back the idea of gellert grindelwald/luna lovegood - and, all the more importantly, to back the idea of grindelwald as a secret entrepreneur in the realm of ladies' undergarments. the entire plot of the code of the woosters - with, i think, ron in the bertie "suspected of stealing a cow-creamer" wooster role and neville, as you say, in the gussie "my word, have you seen grindelwald eating asparagus?" fink-nottle role - would slap when transported to the harry potter universe.

i beg someone to write it.

[declaration-of-dramas]

Lady April is furious.

Her petition to the King earlier did not go well. He held her by the hips firmly, sensually, and listened to her pleas. He then replied firmly that she shouldn't have told Rowan she was ending things with their marriage.

The next part was devastating. Oriel said he could not promise her the legitimacy of their son to become Praaven's rightful Heir.

The children he had with Queen Evie are next in line to the throne, despite him unknowingly impregnating Prilly before they were born.

They were born of Royal Wedlock. Prilly and his kids is a recognised bastard at best.

Later that night she raids her dead aunt's wardrobe for that signature outfit the King really loved. She creeps down to the Main Hall and slams herself down on Oriel's grand throne, in defiance.

Her son WILL be King one day, and then she will be the King's Mother. As it should be!

WIZARD101 LORE FILES - THE SCHOOL OF LIFE

In my thirst for more Wizard101 lore, I've been compiling a heck load of information about various things and it's frankly become a mess. One of my first endeavors was to find resources about the Schools of Magic. This first rabbit-hole was about the School of Life. As a disclaimer, my main school is not Life, it is actually Balance. However, I've recently made a Life wizard and wanted to scrape the barrel for lore that I could potentially use for their story.

This is a working "document", and is separated into 4 sections:

I. Information given from the game

II. Theories

III. My own ideas

IV. Sources

Things will be updated as I find more stuff or if I have more ideas (which I definitely will).

I. INFORMATION GIVEN FROM THE GAME

From the official Wizard101 website, the School of Life is described as follows:

“Life is spirit, the force of awareness and existence. It is about constant growth and movement. Practitioners of Life Magic, known as Theurgists, are positive, enthusiastic people who seek to appreciate the simple pleasures. At times, however, they can be too flighty or frivolous when circumstances demand otherwise. Theurgists use Songs to breathe life and spirit into a vessel. Unlike other magic, which relies on summoning, coercing, or beseeching, Life Magic harnesses the power of the Song of Creation to create something new. Scholars believe that Theurgy channels the tapestry of music from which the Spiral was created, and that in echoing portions of the great symphony, a Wizard can bring forth and create Life where none previously existed.

Life Magic rests between Fire and Storm, for the spark of Life comes from those two forces.”

And I believe this is from when you first pick Life as your school:

“The Life School will train its student wizards to heal themselves and other players. Life Wizards are given the ability to heal themselves the most effectively, as well as the unique ability to heal other players. Combined with this, they do low to moderate damage attack spells with extremely high accuracy rates. They also possess the sole group heal spells.

Life Wizards are often Social, Charming, Funny and Spiritual. Famous Theurgists include Queen Titania, Leonardo DaVinci, and Thomas Jefferson. Life Wizards are great at healing themselves and others.”

From the History of Life Magic:

“Life Magic was said to have been discovered by the earliest inhabitants of Ravenwood, guided by none other than Grandfather Tree himself. He instructed his early disciples to plant trees and tend to a grove to learn the complex interactions of all living things. As these early Theurges advanced in their studies, so too did their gardens improve, eventually sprouting the sentient Spell Trees. Not just of Life Magic, but all of the Schools. Each tree embodied a new form of magic, a new aspect of existence. It was through their growth, study, and teaching that Magical Law was tested, explored, and codified.”

From one of the Life School Quests:

Moolinda Wu: “Music is the language of Life. When we sing, our Songs can take form, and with each new Song, a spirit is born! Imps, Pixies, Sprites… the Fairy spirits are the essence of Music.”

Lady Oriel: “Greetings, little one. I am Lady Oriel, Princess of the Seraphs. We are the Guardians of Life. We protect the Song of the Universe and seek out those who will help us keep our World alive.”

The Rota of Reading:

“Summer is coming in. Loudly sing, Cuckoo! The seed grows and the meadow blooms, and the woods spring anew!”

II. THEORIES

Life Magic is, in my opinion, the School of Music. Their symphonies and their songs uplift organisms and give them the courage to grow. Theurgists breathe vigor into others and are strong in their convictions. Movement and change are the tunes they dance to, proving time and time again that it is difficult for them to remain stagnant.

The History of Life Magic states that Life Magic was discovered by some of the earliest inhabitants of Ravenwood. While I believe this to be true for the world of Wizard City itself, I believe that Life Magic, whether spoken of in a different font, existed in the Spiral. This is based off the running theory I have that every living thing is made of magic, that all one must do is channel what they have within in order to wield it. Older worlds such as Azteca would apply here.

Throughout the story of Azteca you’ll read that many Aztecasaurs say they heard the Song of Creation, which is directly tied to Life Magic. Perhaps they formed their own version of Life Magic? We truly don’t know. Maybe the “earliest inhabitants” of Ravenwood were from Azteca? Or at least knew a shred of the teachings and influences of that world? Again, we don’t know. There’s a reason why this section is called “theories”.

Another interesting part of the lore is that the School trees were first sprouted by none other than the newly formed disciples of Life Magic. This seems to supplement my theory mentioned above. Furthermore, at the epicenter of each School tree is Life Magic. Many things come back to Life Magic. However, did they also create Niles, the Balance tree? Who is not in Ravenwood, but in Krokotopia?

Moolinda Wu says that music is the language of Life. This has me thinking that perhaps the Theurgists best weapon is not a staff but a musical weapon. In the game we have flutes and guitars of many shapes and colors. Ocarinas would be viable for Theurgists as well. In one of the first Life quests, you make a flute from Blossom’s branches.

Life Magic also reminds me much of White Mages from the Final Fantasy Series. See here:

“Conjury is an art that takes life and the living for its domain. Its primary purpose is the salving of hurts and the granting of protection. Adventurers such as yourself oft stand upon the front lines of battle. Owing to this, you are like to find yourself in many situations wherein a capacity for healing would be advantageous. Mind you, there is more to conjury than that. By harnessing the power of earth, wind, and water, conjurers are also capable of weaving spells that wreak havoc. In terms of sheer destructive power, conjury may pale in comparison to thaumaturgy, but its capacity to defend one against aggression more than compensates for this relative shortcoming.” – E-Sumi-Yan

Theurgists should want themselves to be known and have the uniqueness to stand out from a crowd. Their songs should be used to not only heal but to draw attention and command. Generals, leaders, commanders, and the like can utilize Life Magic in this way.

Here’s another part of conjury that I find interesting:

“Conjury calls upon the elements of earth, wind, and water and concentrates them to a potency at which spells can be weaved. Through practiced meditation on the essences of creation, conjurers draw forth and absorb aether from their immediate surroundings. A wand or cane made from unworked wood is then utilized to focus the aether until it manifests as the desired spell. Versed also in magicks that restore and strengthen, conjurers are regarded as accomplished healers.”

Life Magic, through Songs, can be similar to Conjury in that it can bring together Fire and Storm magic and blend them to a point where Life is sparked, where certain spells can be achieved. Note that while Conjurers/White Mages in FFXIV draw their power from the surrounding aether, it is not the same as Theurgists in Wizard101. Theurgists use the power they have within them to put into their Songs. However, like Conjury, it can be theorized that the best Life weapon is not only a musical instrument, but one made of a certain wood. This wood could be different for the specific Theurgist.

III. MY OWN IDEAS

This section will be the section that is most edited. I will make sure to provide changelogs at the beginning of this post.

IDEA ONE - To begin, I had this idea of a potential fairy world that existed in the Spiral. Recall that Moolinda Wu says that spirits are born from Songs. Specific spirits include Imps, Pixies, Sprites, Fairies, etc… There could be a world based off of this! A magical, whimsical world, perhaps one that’s sort of bug-like in nature. This “fairy world” would be the antithesis of Khrysalis. Furthermore, my idea was that this world would’ve been part of Khrysalis before being separated in some way.

The fairy world would feature a story based off of A Midsummer Nights’ Dream, maybe from a different point of view, or with another plot element added in.

IDEA TWO – Many Theurgists have some sort of Imp, Pixie, or Fairy ancestor in their lineage. Because of this, they are shorter individuals with more dainty features, and pointed ears. They are shorter than other Wizards, and depending on how closely tied they are to their spiritual family, could even have wings.

IDEA THREE – Theurgists have a natural green thumb, whether they choose to admit it or not. It is up to them if they wish to pursue an agricultural hobby, but the more they practice Life Magic the better. These individuals, with time and practice, are able to communicate with surrounding flora and fauna. I believe it is much like how some people in FFXIV’s setting can talk to the elemental sprites that are most prevalent in The Black Shroud and other settings. While some can distinctly make out words and sentences, most people who can communicate with the elemental sprites are only capable of feeling their emotions.
