You know, you’re just asking for trouble by referring to the most forbidden of magic as “Forbidden Magic” or “Unforgivable Magic” or something like that; it just makes it sound all the more enticing for mages looking for more power. You gotta call it something stupid and undignified like “Tinklefarty Magic” or “Peepeebumbum Magic” if you want to avoid your students turning into the next Lich King. Half of being a wizard is aura farming after all, and no dark wizard who wants their names etched in blood upon the scrolls of history would stoop to saying something like “Cower before me, mortals, for I am Zargorath, Master of the Slurpydoodoo Arts!”
Hi! Are you the original artist who created the space/planet/sun ducks drawing? I’m trying to find out if I can buy a print :) I manage a planetarium and would love to put it up.
Not yet! I actually want to remake the space chickens pic in a higher quality because at the moment its a bit low-resolution, not very suitable for quality prints.

I want to find out where did Sally Beatty get the bright idea when she was typing this article at Wall Street Journal to call DBZ, “Pokemon meets Pulp Fiction”!
“Okay, gotta make a witty simile… what’s another one of those Japanimations? The one with the yellow hamster thing… porkyman? No, Pokemon! Yeah… it’s like Pokemon meets… meets, uh… um… what’s a violent movie? A real violent movie? Silence of the Lambs? No, something with more action… uh… Robocop? Pulp Fiction? Yeah, Let’s go with that, it’s alliterative. (typing noises) “A sort of… Pokemon… meets… Pulp Fiction”… Fucking. Genius. Sally, you’ve done it again”
[image description: an excerpt of text that says:
“It’s funny,” I told Flewin. “We have an old Nintendo Game Boy floating around the house, and Tetris is the only game we own. My wife will sometimes dig it out to play on airplanes and long car rides. She’s weirdly good at it. She can get 500 or 600 lines, no problem.”
What Flewin said next I will never forget.
“Oh, my!”
/end id]
TL;DR on the article
The husband was writing an article on classic video game records, was surprised to find out that holding the Tetris record is a bit of a big deal, and mentions how good his wife is at it.
The guy he’s talking to mentions that the record is 327, way lower than his wifes usual scores of 500-600.
They travel to a tournament, and she goes to do her attempt. Just after she beats 327, and is climbing higher, a judge brings up to the husband that the specific version she’s playing actually has a different record of 545.
She overhears that she needs to beat 500-something, and keeps going, setting the record at 841.
which, they later find out, is her second-best record
There was a decent but ultimately forgettable fantasy novel I read a long time ago that had a single moment that stuck with me.
The protagonist has just won the world famous sword fighting competition in the big, rich capital and is talking to his mentor, and says something about being the best swordsman in the world. The mentor frowns and tells him that no, he isn't. He is the best swordsman out of the people that could afford to show up to this tournament. There could be a mercenary way out in the mountains, patrolling a snow encrusted fort's walls that could kick his ass and there was no way to know until he was already losing to the guy.
I think about that a lot, and how for every apparently dominant competitor, there might be a fucking ronin out there somewhere capable of destroying them.
Always reblog tetris ronin lady

New Year’s Day update for the Warioware website, featuring Wario again!
yeah sure I’ll make this my first post of the year
The Yule Lads
A bunch of sketches of the infamous Yule Lads from Icelandic folklore!
Consisting of thirteen mischievous little gnomish folk, the Yule Lads comes down from the mountains during the Christmas season, one for each day leading up to Christmas. Though they prank and steal from unwary villagers in their own unique ways, they will reward good children by leaving small gifts of food, money, or toys in their shoes (naughty children will only get a rotten potato).
The Thirteen Yule Lads are, in order:
1: Sheepcote Clod, who harasses sheep but is slowed down by his stiff wooden legs.
2: Gully-Gawk, who lurks in gullies to sneak into barns and steal milk from cows at night.
3: Stubby, an abnormally short fellow who breaks into kitchens to nab pie crusts.
4: Spoon-Licker, a thin and sickly lad who licks unwashed spoons.
5: Pot-Scraper, who scrapes the bottom of unwashed pots and pans for leftovers.
6: Bowl-Licker, who hides under beds and snatches away wooden bowls left on the floor for the dogs.
7: Door-Slammer, who goes around loudly slamming unlocked doors and waking people up at night.
8: Skyr-Gobbler, who scarfs down unguarded skyr (a kind of yogurt).
9: Sausage-Swiper, who hides in the rafters to swipe hung-up links of sausage.
10: Window-Peeper, who stares in through windows looking for things to steal, or just freak people out.
11: Doorway-Sniffer, a lad with a massive nose he uses to sniff out sweet leaf-bread through doorways.
12: Meathook, who reaches down chimneys and open windows to snatch hunks of smoked meat with his hook.
13: Candle-Beggar, who likes to eat tallow candles, preferably grabbed straight out of the hands of people walking alone at night.
Merry Christmas, everyone!

Holly the Mistletoe Bat
Holly is a bouncy little bat spirit of pure holiday cheer. She loves all manner of Christmastime festivities, be it wild all-night parties with hot spiced cider and hotter and spicier dancing, or snuggling into a warm blanket with a mug of hot cocoa by a crackling fireplace.
More than anything she loves sharing that cheer with others, especially those who have no-one else to share it with otherwise. A kiss from Holly can thaw even the most icy of souls and fill your heart with joy, and she’s certainly no Scrooge when it comes to sharing a smooch <3

Something a little different then my usual fare, just in time for the holidays: A comic starring the marvelous Mari Lwyd of Welsh wassailing tradition!
The phrase Mari's saying in the first panel is "Merry Christmas to you all".
And of course, in case you're not familiar with the song in question
Bringing back for the holiday one of my favorite omny pieces ever. 'Hey everybody, it's Mari Lwyd!' is a sentence that pops into my head at just the worst intervals
Thanks a lot! I strive to occupy my watcher's heads rent-free
