Time for some head-canon:

Magicians/Magus/Mage deal primarily in the art of incantation (that is to say speaking words, or the waving of hands or implements to invoke magical effects), while witches deal closer in alchemy by infusing ingredients with magical properties and thereby creating potions/tinctures etc. It is not uncommon for one or the other profession (because that is what they are. Jobs.) To dabble in the other because they both fall under the umbrella of "Wizard". A magician is one who imposes their will upon latent forces of chaos to produce an effect that otherwise had no reason to happen (setting a hex, or producing fire). This is why attaining the title of "Supreme Wizard" is so difficult, because it implies mastery of both crafts.

I think its also important to distinguish alchemists from what witches perform. While an alchemist uses the natural properties of elements to produce a natural result (enhanced strength, explosions, mutagens, etc); a witch infuses magic into her ingredients. Theoretically an experienced witch could use any ingredients to create a brew but some ingredients tend to retain certain facets of magical imbuement better (e.g. eye of newt will manipulate light magic more readily than say frogs legs, or wormwort).

Its also important to distinguish these abilities from sorcery, and patron based magic such as warlock, and clergy. The magics of the Wizard profession are exclusively attained by diligent study and practice, where as sorcerers, warlocks, clerics and the like deliver chaos from outer planar sources, like deities, cosmic radiation, and dense chaos anomalies. I won't be getting into those in this post though.

This reminded me of "The Yellow Kid" comics. My grandmother had a bunch of them in her house (she is a bit of a hoarder), but anyway; the yellow kid was a sweet urchin and was always doing street urchin stuff. I later learned it was some sort of metaphor for how Chinese people were treated when they were coming to the United States.

I'm not totally sure if this has anything to do with that. It just reminded me.

the world is so scary

OP made this post unrebloggable but me and my bf made this meme in a fit of obsession and it had to be shared

I've been trying to get back into social media after a pretty decent time away (probably 10 years). Tumblr is the one I chose and boy howdy do I not know what the fuck is going on.

I want to stop eating taco bell, but there is a sinister familiarity I've developed with it. It makes me feel like I'm keeping a secret.
