differentiating between healing magic and necromancy by making them phenomonologically distinct is Exactly The Problem I Am Railing Against!
This is an especially fun debate in a Dungeons & Dragons context because the game’s schools of magic are structured in such a way that healing magic could plausibly fall into like six out of eight of them, and its placement keeps wandering from edition to edition. Healing magic has historically been Transmutation, Necromancy and Evocation, and I think the forthcoming it’s-not-a-new-edition-we-swear is shuffling it over to Abjuration for some reason, which has several fascinating implications. I think they should just bite the bullet and give every school of magic its own distinct healing spell, see what happens.
The idea of the magic card “Swords to plowshares” is essentially that target creature rejects the way of the sword and becomes a farmer instead, hence you lose them as a combatant but gain the health from their farming.
This is really fuckin funny in conjunction with a lot of potential targets for that card. Can you just imagine you’re an average farmer in an MTG plane, have a normal-ass day, and all of a sudden you look to the east, and stretching up past the clouds you see Ulamog, the despoiler, one of the infamous eldrazi titans, a creature that corrupts all that is good by its mere presence. And all the enormous bastard is doing is using their massive fuckin tendrils to plow the land and plant potatos, and tend to their flocks of eldrazi spawn, and then it turns its eyeless head thats the size of several cities at you and tips its wide brimmed straw hat at you and continues going about its worm.
For the record, these are the cards in question
Spell: Swords To Plowshares; upon failing a Will save, the target permanently gives up any quest or bloodlust for the life of a simple farmer. The spell is surprisingly easy to cast and has no limit to the size or scope of the target.
Come on man, couldn’t even manage a whole fiver? Those adult performers work hard and you’re out here waving barely enough cash to buy less than one gram of weed? Shameful.
I’ve never even heard of this before tho??? Wtf??????????
oh my god, I didn’t think there were any surviving versions of this post left
For those who weren’t around in the Deep Lore times, this is one of the relics of the editable post era. This post has THE SINGLE HIGHEST NOTES of ANY post on this site, bar none, but with more than a dozen variations. Every single post you’ve ever seen with more than 3 million notes has been a different version of this one.
This is the “Dean’s Gym Shorts” post. This is the Flubber post. This is the original “Reblog if you support gay people” post. it was ALL of them. before half the site got nuked, it had even more notes than it has now - at one point, well over 15 million, and that was years ago.
This, with no exaggeration, is the ONE TRUE heritage post
it sucks so bad as a leftist to see someone at your job who just. fucking blows. just sucks terribly at their position. refuses to take in any criticism or learn anything. and like, you know absolutely they wouldn’t be good at any other kind of job in this sector, like they’re just doomed to struggle in the only space that they can actually get jobs. and im like, i hate you here, but i cant want you to quit or get fired because i know you definitely need this job. but you’re making my life so much harder by being here. i just dont know what to do about it
anybody on this post who thinks they should get fired missing the point of this post
hey, I heard y’all like evil biology facts like knowledge about horse blood types.
well! today I was researching alternative biochemistries extraterrestrial life could use and. man. I think Earth life is fucked up enough for me thanks
biological dark matter. WHAT DO YOU MEAN MY BLOOD HAS DNA IN IT FROM NO KNOWN SOURCE. YOU CAN’T JUST SAY THAT COME BACK HERE
One specific cave that has been sealed for 5.5 million years and has developed an ecosystem completely dependent on chemosynthetic bacteria.
Terrible Berry (yes, that’s what the genus name means). This whole thing is so fucked up. These scientists were testing whether radiation could be used to kill pathogens in food, so they dosed a tin of meat with enough radiation to kill any known living organism (as one does)but guess what, it still fucking spoiled because of THIS BASTARD FUCKER.
(seriously, why is it like this? WHY has a bacterium evolved to chill in radioactive waste like it’s a soothing Jacuzzi tub? What does it know that we don’t know?)
(ANSWERS. I WANT ANSWERS, YOU CHERNOBYL ASS BITCH.)
Cursed worm, which has no mouth or digestive system and depends entirely on five (5) different species of bacteria, which consume hydrogen sulfide, hydrogen monoxide, and carbon monoxide, for food. How do you, a worm, even…figure out how to do…all that?
Bone worms. At least they like their bones already dead. I still could have gone without knowing this was a thing.
does tumblr know about tim misny??? like has the level of tim misny awareness that exists in northeast ohio broken containment and become known online yet???
ok so tim misny is a personal injury lawyer here in ohio.
that’s him. you do not have to remember his face from this image because you’re gonna see it a lot in this post. so mainly i think we all kinda honed in on tim misny because of his slogan
he’s gonna make them pay. he’s gonna get you that money but also it’s a little threatening like he’s gonna fully fuck his legal opponent’s shit up. this sprung tons of local memes. then there were the billboards which were normal at first.
but here’s the thing; we already know what misny does. he makes them pay. so it turns into just saying “you know what i do” which is funny enough if you don’t at all have the context.
but this is not where the absurdity caps out, my friends. no. this is what it has evolved to and they. are. everywhere.
that’s right. no text. just the judging eyes of tim misny, glaring through our skin and into our souls. there is no god. there is no devil. there is just tim misny and he’s gonna make them pay.
I open Tumblr to doomscroll for the first time in days, and the first thing I see on my dash is a absolutely amazing meme… from fucking Ohio 💀
the only two ways i can categorize height is if i see something tall i go 'woah, big boy man' and if i see something short i go 'hah.. baby man' and idk what to blame for this. anyway wanna hear about the times ghosts have touched my ass
This is the most important thing I’ve learned about grieving. It never goes away. Time doesn’t make it smaller. Time, if you do the work, makes you bigger. Self expansion is key. Self expansion through creativity and passion and communication. My grief used to be all of me. Now it is a part of me. An important part, but just a part. I love this visualization so much.
Oh how confused I was when I got this in the mail, before remembering I signed up to vote for the USA Mullet Championship last year to vote for a kid named Epic
Winner in my heart
I just remembered that my winner for teen division also lost last year 😔
Epic and Cash were robbed.
They are having the Mens Mullet Championship today! Do your civil duty and vote!
I have a real tough time choosing who to vote for, I’ve narrowed it down to my top 3 but I am not sure about my one-pick yet.
He has more photos on his contestant profile and I have to agree with everything you said
big fan of when animals creche. Love to see so many fucking babies in one place
So a creche in ecology is a group of animals that take care of their offspring as a group. Grouping together like this can help with protection against predators, finding food, enduring the weather, and gives the parents time to “rest”, as sometimes the parents will alternate who’s being the primary watchers while others get to hunt by themselves for a bit, like a baby animal daycare.
But ye lions do this once cubs each a certain age. A decent amount of birds do it (for example: flamingos and a lot of penguin, duck, and goose species). Gharials (a type of South Asian crocodilian) form creches with hundreds of babies from multiple nests (they lay under 100 eggs each and sometimes as few as 20). Feral hogs tend to form groups of mothers and young like this, and I saw 3 sows and like 15+ tiny babies the other day and they were so cute
Took our son to the zoo today and saw these signs. I think it’s a great that they’re getting people interested in vore! Be sure to google “types of vore” for more info on which one you might be!
I have to write this down before I forget but if I had to describe the alchemical worldview it would be “Bitches in 2nd century Alexandria were trying to figure out if you could un-bake a cake.”
You know how baking uses like the same basic 5 ingredients for everything? What if you could un-bake a shitty cake into its raw ingredients, and then re-bake it into a perfect cake.
That’s what transmutation is. It’s alchemists trying to un-bake base metals into their elemental essences to re-bake them into new ones.
Vegans of tumblr, listen up. Harvesting agave in the quantities required so you dont have to eat honey is killing mexican long-nosed bats. They feed off the nectar and pollinate the plants. They need the agave. You want to help the environment? Go back to honey. Your liver and thyroid will thank you, as well. Agave is 90% fructose, which can cause a host of issues. Bye.
So let me get this straight ,vegans should stop eating the food of the Mexcian long-nosed bats, because the bats need it, and instead vegans should instead eat honey, the food of bees, that their larvae need, even though the bee populations are facing ecological issues as it stands.
10/10 post, dude.
Did you forget the whole part where only excess is taken and all their needs are met and then some orrrr?
Like, did you read it orrrrr?
Anyway, BUY HONEY SAVE BEES
It is a 10/10 post. Because OP is right.
Bees do not suffer when beekeepers take their honey, because experienced beekeepers do not take all of their honey, in fact, they leave plenty of honey left for the bees to consume over the winter. If we do not collect their honey, 1 of two things will happen.
1. they will leave for a bigger home. Which at first seems fine until you remember that bees are dying very quickly out in the wild.
or
2. They will start using the areas that they reserve for their young as a place to make more honey. This is bad because if no more young are being produced, then the hive will start to die out because no new workers are coming into the world, and the average live only 150 days, so it would also mean the loss of more bees.
So yeah, eating honey isn’t inhumane at all. In fact, you’re helping the bees by eating what they produce and giving money to the bee keepers who are the ones making sure that the hive will keep being healthy.
LOUDER FOR THE VEGANS IN THE BACK: use honey, not agave! Bees need your support and other animals need agave! Using honey means more bees!!
Other animal products that are absolutely fine to use because they produce it in excess:
- Wool. Sheep need to be sheared or their wool will get excessively large, matted and gross. Its legit just a haircut. Calm down and use wool instead of whatever fake acrylic microplastic shit they have in stores now. Wool is super warm, insulating, and guess what! It grows back! Its a renewable resource and all the sheep want in return is some good pasture and protection from predators.
- Eggs. I’m not talking about storebought eggs. Go to your local farmer’s market. Find someone around with chickens/ducks. These birds produce eggs literally every day and will not stop unless they are molting, brooding, or kept in the dark for most of the day. Like I am not joking when I say you can very easily find someone with poultry and they will beg you to take some eggs. Theres so many. Please. Take some duck eggs. I dont want them. I had 8 laying ducks last year. Thats 8 eggs every day. Thats 2 dozen eggs every THREE DAYS. Thats SO MANY EGGS PLEASE TAKE SOME EGGS
Reducing animal cruelty does not mean abolish the use of animal products. Go eat honey. Go use wool. Go find a friend with birds and eat eggs, or get your own. Just because it comes from an animal does not make it cruel.
When you’re dealing with a learning disability and having problems with school it can be really helpful to take some time and do something you’re good at so you don’t get stuck in a cycle of negative self talk and unfair criticism of yourself.
That’s why I drew the duolingo owl with fat tits. Not only is it something that I’m good at that I enjoy, but now every criticism directed at me is justified.
as the quality of everything in the world decreases, the quality of pictures of cats increases tenfold, and the rise has been exceptional for the past two years

The pharaohs daughter finding Moses at the riverbank
namely, the fact that the wild mustard Brassica oleracea, once domesticated, produced a bewildering variety of vegetables by selecting each cultivar for a different part (cabbages from terminal buds, Brussels ssprouts from lateral buds, broccoli and cauliflower from flower buds, kale from leaves, and so on), all of them still being technically part of the same species, Brassica oleracea var. whatever.
Now, as far as I know, nobody has bred B. oleracea into a tree. But there is, not quite a single species, but a genus, that has gotten pretty close to that kind of internal morphological diversity:
Behold Euphorbia, the genus of spurges, counting over 2000 species (that nevertheless are often capable of interbreeding) scattered throughout all continents:
Euphorbia dendroides (Mediterranean)
The poinsettia, Euphorbia pulcherrima (Central America)
Euphorbia actinoclada (East Africa)|, one of the many cactus-like species (cacti proper are all American species except one, so if you see a cactus-like plant in an African or Asian deserts, odds are it’s actually a kind of euphorbia)
They want up to TWENTY CENTS per game install, once you reach a certain number of installs.
TWENTY CENTS
Just imagine, 100 people install your game and you suddenly owe Unity 20 fucking dollars. Chances are, you haven’t even made that much in profits from 100 sales.
It’s time for unity to fucking die. How fucking dare they demand royalties from game devs for an engine THAT ISN’T EVEN FREE?
In case you don’t know, here’s a list of a few bigger games that use the Unity engine:
