In American idiot by Green Day, is it:

"Everything dementedly okay" or "Nothing's meant to be okay", or is it "everything's not meant to be okay?" Because I've always heard the former until someone did a cover, and they said the latter.

They're equally fucked up and fitting.

How to use Tumblr:

Like Twitter without the character limits, and no one went "um actually"

Like reddit, just there's more like the cafeteria and less of a classroom

Like Facebook, if you didn't care.

Express yourself! Shitpost! Be an idiot! Just remember that nothing matters, and we're all here for the same reasons... and we forgot all of them

Huzaa! After 18 month out of commission due the old engine finally broke, Peter the powerhammer is once again operational! Needed to get new engine, new belt wheel for thst engine, to make new engine mount on thst engine... And everything else 😅 but it is finally done!

What always bothers me with modern depictions of Thor and hammer is the idea that mjolnir has to be this large, heavy head that would weigh an insane amount on a wooden handle.

Have you ever seen a mjolnir pendant? It's one piece; that fact is pulled straight from the eddas.

If the hammer wielded by the strongest man of Asgard was one piece of iron (steel faced for strength), it had to be huge and weigh a metric butt-ton or was rather small but hit like a brick. The latter would've been just as intimidating, if not more, since that thing once flattened a mountain in one swing.

"Yes, you may be able to *lift* the hammer, but you'll never be able to *use* it."

Just another philosophy point on the character of Þoŕ Oðinson.

Magic broken down:

Back before modern science, it and magic were the same thing; an incantation/blessing held as much water as making salt of tartar (K2CO2).

Remember, too, not literacy wasn't as high in Europe as it was in other places, so the act of just writing showed you knew stuff many didn't.

Also, geometry (simply a way to measure things using shapes and the relationships they can make [e.g. two circles; one inside and on outside an equilateral triangle have a ration of 1:2, 1/2, or .5]) was thought to show the secrets of the universe. Stone masons in Europe used geometry as a measurement tool, which was a large component for this train of thought. The topic of geometry is for a different post

Also, spells can be anything from charms, hexes/curses/jinxes, enchantments, or blessings.

Divination: the past, present, and future are already written somewhere, depending on the topic in question; be it in the stars (astrology), the hand of the person (palmistry), the dregs in a teacup, the endtrails of an animal, a casting of chicken bones or ruinstone, or the reading of playing cards (tarot); cold reading (a psychology trick of reading people), trances (commonly used by oracles), and dream reading are all valid methods

I'm not covering witch doctors, voodoo, and other categories because this is already going to be long enough.

Oracle: someone who goes into a trance via gases, psychedelics (fumes or consuming), etc, to predict the future.

An enchanter/enchantress: Those that mainly do enchantments

Witch: herbal based studies. They're basically the doctor of the group. It's not limited to just women.

The stereotypical witch in the woods is a result of the person rejecting the city and living in isolation and rejecting the beauty standards of that day so they focus more on their studies.

Their studies were kept in a book called a Grimoir/ book of shadows.

Wizard: Academic. You're more likely to find these people pouring over a library of books with multiple charts out, dividers in one hand, and a quill in the other

These people (mostly men, but women can be wizards) study just about everything with magic: astronomy/astrology, alchemy/chemistry, or geometry itself

Warlock: someone who devoted their life to a being far more powerful than man (eldrich beings or the like), letting the being grant them magic.

This is not a cleric.

Sorcerer: naturally gifted with magic.

Cleric: the priest. Devoting their life to a deity, which grants them forms magic.

Yashwa of Nazareth (Jesus Christ) was a cleric by this definition.

Druid: a nature cleric mixed with a witch. Their spirits are of nature, and they speak to Mother Earth.

Don't confuse these with shamen, which are druids mixed with oracles

Paladin: the priest with a sword.

These are my current findings.

Wizard: *casts fireball, exploding a small room of enemies* And I'm out of spells

Barbarian: i can cast magic, too, Ya know

Wiz: really?

Bar: yeah, watch this. Separate! *slits an enemy in half with their ax* it's a cantrip touch spell.

Wiz: but -

Bar: *points to ax* spell focus. Ooh, and it's an occasional ranged, too. *throws ax 10 feet, nailing another enemy in the head* see?

Wiz: have you been reading my books?

Bar: No, just looking at the pictures. You need more pictures in them.

I heard that's the sign the hatter needs a new hobby. Poor forms means poor fitting hats which leads to buckles

I drew a bunch of silly stuff with my werewolf woman and decided to gather it one post. Sometimes you just have to decompress through being goofy

You can read about her here.

These comics are just some silliness I drew for fun. It's not really canon, she lives in a separate setting and isn't able to talk as a werewolf. Her original story is also pretty rough and tragic.
