The Mage’s Apprentice

Chapter 4: The [Body] of a Killer (Is a Dead Man)

“His brother. 

The words, the mere idea, swirled around in your mind, bringing two conflicting emotions to your thoughts. 

First, disgust, that you were even related to the Mage across from you, the man who had been nothing short of rude and vile to you this entire time. 

Second, confusion—almost betrayal—as to how your father could’ve omitted such an important detail from your training. 

The latter faded away quickly. That is precisely what abusers do: isolate their victims, make them feel as alone as possible.”

I hate Racists

(for fucking context becuase people are getting mad at this post being made for 'brownie points' this was made becuase I was pissed off at a Racist asshole and wanted to express my dissatisfaction)

Adult ProTip, from a security professional: If a kid tells you, "My parents are gonna kill me / kick my ass / kick me out" for something relatively minor, don't respond with shit like "Really? ;) that sounds a little extreme, don't you think sweetie?" because that shit really does happen.

Instead, respond as though whatever threat they are afraid of is fully valid, and offer whatever you can do to help- ask if they believe they are in danger of being hurt in any way, and work accordingly.

If they're overreacting, they'll usually realize and dial it back, self-correct and begin thinking a bit more rationally.

If they're not overreacting, and the danger is real, then they'll need a level-headed adult in their corner, not another condescending authority figure who doesn't believe them.

I still get excited when my friends refer to me as their friend

"My friend said" "this is my friend" "they're my friend"

Im freaking out inside every time

“Grant it a brain? That’d be crazy!”

“Slay the obtained? But how could you blame me?”

“Impending doom! Seek no freedom!”

“Don’t interfere with the rhythm!”

“Endure the pain!”

“Preventing me from going insane!”

“You won’t die in vain!”

. . .

“Clever endeavors go a long way, if you seek for ideas each and every day? You’ll go insane!”

“This man has gone insane!”

“This man has gone insane!”

“This ‘man’ has gone in—“

“Grant it a brain? That’d be crazy!”

Thank you! :3

We

We had a dream last night

and in it some people that we admire and stuff who have never even TOUCHED our writing reblogged SDS Chapter 3 and put tags like

#akansndbdbsjvfskdbjdbd #WHAT #woah #shshsbhshddhhehdvddvvdvdvd

and stuff like that.

so sad it wasn’t real :(

Got reminded again of my old coworker who was a massive misogynist but also trans inclusive. Told me he believed trans women are indeed women because "only women would be stupid enough to want to be women"

I wonder what he's doing now

He also aggressively corrected himself whenever he accidentally misgendered a trans guy we knew because "there's already more women than men in the world, the more numbers we steal from them, the better." Did that even when the trans guy wasn't around.

I need to point out that he was completely serious btw. This man had no sense of humor on purpose.

He was a cook at the restaurant/bar I was a bartender at, and almost punched a costumer once because he overheard him talking about how women belong in the kitchen. Told me he thought women should stay out of kitchens, that cooking is a man's job and when I asked him what he thinks women should be doing, he went quiet for a moment, then proceeded to explain to me the following

"I trust a bitch to run a kitchen as much as she can run a country, they should do shit like plumbing. Or electricity. Something you can just learn to do and don't need to lead, you know?"

Apparently women are good at "fixing shit". He claimed that he doesn't trust male plumbers or electricians except if they're gay because "something most be wrong with you if you want to go fix other people's houses, that's that maternal instinct"

this is crazy bro

The local vampire is quite annoyed with you keeping him company being awake this late at night. But maybe five more minutes of mutual bickering will satisfy him enough to let you do your thing. As long as you're in his sight

not romantic not platonic but a secret third thing [what would happen between earth and the moon if the earth stopped spinning as illustrated by xkcd randall munroe]

I’ve got a question. I have this writing idea that’s set at Disney World and it’s a campy murder mystery (like Scooby Doo) where a gang of teens-young adults have to solve a whodunnit case in the Parks. It technically includes the Disney characters (the cast members playing them) and I’m wondering if this could count as “fanfic” as in tagging it as Disney or if it’s just original enough to be considered my own work. I’m asking because it features the characters to some degree but I’m not writing fanfic for the films. My story is called Once Upon a Crime by the way.
