Alan and Grant are both practising magicians. I am not. My personal — and entirely limited and timebound — experience of magic is that the scene was largely populated by the wilfully self-deluded and the mentally ill, and that magic itself is more metaphor than machinery. Grant in particular is very convincing about the personal efficacy of magic, but it should also be noted that he’s well aware of magic as metaphor, where magic is as much a tool for exploring the subconscious as it is for creating physical effect in the outside world.

There’s probably a longer thing to be written here about the role of art in the life of the committed magician, but I don’t really have the puff today to do a good job of it. So, to attempt to put a quick cap on the answer: I think it’s fascinating fiction, and, like some fiction, it’s very real for some people. —Warren Ellis on Magick

backwoodsbabybat: girlscoutofthedevil: Bonnie! I demand that you show this to your internet friend who really likes Mary Poppins. …I don’t remember which one it is, but I know you have one. Because you posted that picture of me with the carousel horse for them. (LOOK AT ME, I AM BEING NICE.) (And look at her slightly derpy little eyes. It really makes the piece.) Miss Venters, my sister presents you with this offering. XD EEEE! eEEEE! backwoodsbabybat, tell your sister that is ADORABLE. Now I need to bribe any of my knitting people, because I so very much need a Mary Poppins tea cozy. Mere words cannot express the depths of my longing, so just picture the squeaking and the flailyhands of joy at the monitor. EEeeeeee!

vaysh: Do not stand, sit, lean, or climb the fencing.  If you fall in, the Danzig may eat you, and that could make him sick. Please do not feed the Danzig.  He is on a special diet and people food can upset his tummy. Please do not throw objects at the Danzig.  People throwing objects into his enclosure will be asked to retrieve them.

Guess who is partway through a 3 hour meeting, and then gets to go reassemble her desk after a cubicle move? Wheeee. But tonight I’m going to see a showing of Auntie Mame with the StuntHusband, so that makes things better.

lovingmyselfishard: stunthusband: Gary Numan’s “For The Rest Of My Life”. AKA the song that reminds me that I’ll never speak to Boy d’Portland again. Signature sex move AND song-to-kill-myself-to all rolled into one. Woo. Destruction Island’s “Casually Finding a Torso on Sunday Morning.” :| No.  “Vampires Will Never Hurt You” by MCR. Ahahahahahahaha! Even better, the song before it was “Bela Lugosi’s Dead” by Bauhaus. A theme, yes, there is one.

Small Calibrations: raisinghales: locksandglasses: I remember when I thought people in...

I remember when I thought people in their 20’s were adults. Now all of my friends are in their 20’s and everybody is just kind of fumbling around bumping into each other, trying to figure out where the free food is……

so that’s pretty much what I’m…

I don’t know that people ever feel like adults. I really don’t.

I have been assured by my Dad that he still doesn’t feel like an adult, so I figure I’m never going to feel like one, either. I can mimic one, when needed, but feel like an actual adult? Please, I’m replying to this with my fanged toy bunny sitting on my lap. 

I am an adult in that I recognize mine and my friends’ responsibilities. But I’ll be damned if I let those responsibilities drain all joy and whimsy (and let’s be honest, even the occasional moments of overwhelming angst and/or panic) from our lives.
