Recently I have been watching Fullmetal Alchemist and I've bumped into some memes about the best and worst dads in anime. How would you sort out the best and worst dads in the Animorphs universe?

Animorphs Dads From Best to Worst According to Me

Walter. He's so kind and goofy and supportive with Cassie. He's the ideal sort of dad who both gives his kid lots of space to grow up in her own way, but is also willing to talk about whatever might be bothering her.

Steve. We know he's very sweet and forgiving almost to a fault, patient with kids and bratty adults alike. Loses a point for responding to Tom's personality swap in #1 with "sooomebody's got a giiiiiirrrllfriiieend" because that is not the way to get your teenager to open up to you about dating or alien invasions.

Noorlin. We don't know much about him — he's got one scene in #8 — but he seems like he's doing his best to support Ax during that single Skype call. Loses a point for jumping instantly to "you know you gotta kill Visser Three" upon learning that one of his kids is dead and the other is marooned, but overall seems solid.

[space left intentionally blank to separate the good dads further from the crap ones, because tbh none of them are mediocre]

Elfangor. Look, I get that most of his separation from Tobias isn't his fault, but his interaction with his kid consists solely of recruiting said kid into a war that Elfangor himself accidentally started. Not a great look.

Peter. Only ranks above Dan because he eventually gets his shit together, but I'm also unwilling to excuse how long he takes to get his shit together. It's not his fault that he's dealing with major shit between Eva's "death" and meeting Nora, but he nevertheless needs to do a lot more parenting of Marco and a lot less getting parented by Marco. Also, "book-smart man who never bothered to learn how to cook or clean because he's always had a partner to do it for him" is even less of a good look in the 19damn90s.

Dan. There is some excellent social commentary in Rachel's parents' (ex-)marriage around Dan getting 50% of the credit for doing 0.1% of the work. The scene in #7 where Dan brings junk food for dinner to try and bribe his daughters while Naomi rushes home from her extremely challenging job to discover her ex is here to announce that he's fucking off to some other state and won't even be around for one weekend a month anymore... that just speaks volumes about their respective parenting. Dan's not obviously absent like Elfangor, but in many ways his half-assed parenting (including through putting tough emotional decisions on Rachel so he doesn't have to deal with them himself) is worse than accidental abandonment.

some ideas for non-verbal spell casting:

so i’m a pretty quiet person irl, and i find a lot of spellbooks and posts on here include verbalization in the form of incantations, mantras, et cetera.

which is all well and good if that works for you, whatever floats your boat and casts your spell; but what if you’re like me and verbalizations make you uncomfortable?

or you’re practicing late at night while your housemates are asleep?

or you just. prefer to not speak?

well, here are some alternatives!

say your incantation internally

visualize your incantation

make your incantation physical (could you add movement/gestures to your spell?)

make it symbolic (breaking something, binding something, burying it?)

use a noisemaker! (eg. a bell, clap, a song, note, chord, etc)

simply do without! not every spell or ritual needs a verbal component, and maybe you’re just not that kind of practitioner. that’s okay!

i’m sure there are tons of things that i’ve left off or forgotten, and i definitely want to hear more ideas if you have them!

wind be with you!

Like in his dark materials is there a distance limit

The answer is sort of complicated, but there is usually a distance limit. It is incredibly painful for most people to be more than a couple of a fit from their dæmon (though it varies a bit). Early on in the book the main character experiences excruciating pain when her dæmon wanders off to do something and he was probably no more than 10 feet away. 

However, there are three ways mentioned for a dæmon to learn how to move long distances from their human. 

The first way it is possible to is to undergo a ritual separation. There are places that dæmons cannot enter, and if a person goes in there than the dæmon must be left behind until they come out. After that they can go very far from one another. This ceremony is a right of passage for witches and shamans in a lot of cultures. Though it is very painful. 

In addition, in the newer novels it is shown that people do not always get along with their dæmons. This usually reflects some deep discontentedness or internal conflict (I will not go into more detail because that is a whole other complicated thing, and I am writing up a post about it). In extreme circumstances the dæmon may run away, moving far from the person and going through the extreme pain for a while until they are used to it. 

The third way is by accident. If some catastrophe accidentally forces a dæmon to go far from their person (for instance being caught in a water current and pulled apart) then they will be able to separate.  

So to summarize a kind of long answer, there is usually a distance limit but there are instances where people and dæmons learn (or are forced) to overcome it. Though as another note, seeing someone without their dæmon is frighting for most people in the books. Its compared to seeing someone walk around with a severed head. So aside from witches, most people who can separate from their dæmon hide the fact from others. 

This was a fun question, feel free to ask more! 

yknow what my friend and i talked about today??? they did an entire season in 1963, with like,,, 2.5 plotlines focused around injustice/discrimination/etc..... without saying a slur. yeah they said queer, but if anything it was to demonstrate how that word has been reclaimed. they didnt say f*g, they didnt say the n-word, when in reality those words most likely wouldve been thrown around like nothing in the situations depicted.

thats how easy it is lmao. they managed to accurately depict these characters in ACTUAL HISTORICAL SITUATIONS and did so without using slurs to make their point. it’s just amazing to me because all three of those confrontation scenes were impactful and meaningful anyways without it.

10 Illvermorny Headcanons

The 7th year Wampus’s run a MMA club and spend most of their free time teaching the younger years self defense. 

A 4th year Horned Serpent was given 30 hours of detention once for standing up on a table and calling another student a ‘stupid fuck’ for denying global warming during the middle of breakfast.

The Thunderbird students have a wall in their commonroom filled with postcards and Polaroid selfies from different places.

A Pukwudgie student was caught selling some ‘totally medical’ herbs to other students.

The professors have nearly gave up on trying to keep the Thunderbirds from leaving school grounds. 

The Pukwudgies may or may not be charging other students for acne reducing potions.

The Horned Serpents have been trying to get electronics to run on magic. The project has been going on for 3 years and has resulted in more than one fire.

Due to some of the NoMajBorn students feeling unsafe due to NoMaj controversies and politics (Race, sex, religion, LGBTQA) A group of Wampus’s have started escorting these students around campus.

The Thunderbirds and Horned Serpents have began a language club. The Thunderbirds needing the help for travels and the Horned Serpents desiring to speak other languages.

The Pukwudgie’s are to be feared when trying to find a test subject for newly learned healing charms or potions.

Ok imagine,

Love, Simon... but instead of emails you play minecraft together.

Thank you

Being a witch

expectation: im gonna use this candle to heat up this moon water with the herbs i need to help keep intrusive thoughts and bad energy away from me

reality: *rubbing quartz on my forehead and temples, visualizing my brain* alright so listen up fucker i dont need your negativity, so cut the shit

Some concepts:

Boys who teach their non-witch boyfriends about witchcraft

Boys who aren’t witches but still get excited everytime their witch bf talks about witchcraft

Boys who become witches together and practise everything with each other

Boys buying each other witchcraft supplies and drawing sigils on them

Boys making personal sigils for each other

Witch boys supporting each other’s craft and practising together to grow as individuals
