I don't remember how, but I ended up on a subreddit for youtuber drama and it's oddly relieving to see that I don't recognize a single name. I love not caring whether poob responded to glutko's callout. The sky is full of stars

it is more commonly used. In some places (mainly the ones whose societies are built on spirit magic) some VERY basic spirit magic will be taught in schools, similar to ICT lessons in the real world.

Besides the aformentioned spirit magic knowledge, training will virtually always be on the job. 6/6

prior knowledge of the basic workings of spirit magic is benefitial. Depending on where you are, this can be quite difficult to aquire: it ranges from "very difficult" in places where any use of spirit magic is extremely taboo, to "moderately expensive but not too hard to find" in places where 5/6

breeder, which can be quite difficult to do depending on who and where you are. Generally, people in the buisness are quite distrustful of outsiders, especially in places where it is illegal, because they don't want the law to catch up with them. If you do manage to become an apprentice, though, 4/6

off, but all the spirit magic conduits you can buy will have been neutered before being sold so you can't do that (presciely to prevent that sort of thing from happening).

As such, generally the only way to get into the industry is to become an apprentice or something of the sort to an existing 3/6

do it. You would be starting from scratch in that scenario, though, if you started with animals from the wild, as a lot of people have been breeding spirit magic conduits for many many years. In theory, you could get spirit magic conduits from an existing breeder, and use those to start yourself 2/6

Generally people are quite secretive about how they breed animals for spirit magic conduits, but if you have experience with spirit magic and with selectively breeding animals for other purposes, you'd probably be able to figure out how they 1/6

have to buy spirit magic conduits from someone else (plus its more efficient, and since the body of a creature whose spirit is totally used up will generally turn to dust of some kind, they don't have to worry as much about what to do with the bodies). 4/4

environment artificially, by using (a lot of) spirit magic to infuse whatever location you want to be spirit-rich with spirit. Oftentimes, for larger scale spirit conduit breeding operations, they will use the animals with less ideal traits that have been culled for this, because then they don't 3/4

an animal can hold, it will need to be raised in a spirit rich environment. The easiest way to get such an environment is to simply find a very old forest or other natural area, as those are naturally rich in spirit. However, in cases where this isn't possible, you can make a spirit rich 2/4

#Marchistics (cw discussion of animal death/mistreatment)

So I'm realising I already talked about this a lot in the day 3 thread lol (bsky.app/profile/the-... <- here) so I thought I'd use today to elaborate a little on what I said previously :D

Generally, to maximise the amount of spirit 1/4

spirit, they'd generally consider the spirit of that tree to just be a part of it, like the leaves or that sort of thing. However, the exact classifications of (and amount of respect given to) spirits does vary between cultures and such. 3/3

either akin to air, or just a part of the organism they're a part of. Eg, the spirit of a young tree is present, but people can't communicate with or see them, and the only way to interact with them is to interact with the tree itself. So if the people are aware that every living thing has a 2/3

#MarchWorldbuilders

I do indeed have spirits, and generally they're considered to be in their own seperate catagory if the humans doing the considering are able to communicate with, interact with, or see them. There are spirits that don't meet any of those criteria, and they're considered to be 1/3

Last night I dreamed I got an email about my "Moana Wrapped" for the year and I opened it and it just said "you've watched Moana 0 times this year."

Rediscovered this graph I made and I stand by it.

Can we PLEASE stop telling authors to cut other languages from their books? I’ve talked to multiple authors told to remove the Spanish. 😠 If readers can figure out what a hobbit is or casually drop “valar morghulis,” they can context clue their way through a real language.

being an Artist whos other hobby is Gaming is the worst. other people are doing hobbies that take like 2 hours tops. Art and Gaming are hobbies that you can do for 10 hours straight if you arent careful

Panel 2: a pencil sketch of Odile's low hp battle portrait, grinning with determination despite taking a lot of damage text reads: But then you go into battle and Odile gets to low HP and BAM! She looks like this Panel 3: my birdsona blushing while looking surprised while holding the game controller Panel 4: my birdsona closing her eyes and letting out a huff of a sigh while blushing. Text points to her claws clutching the controller and read "horny controller grip" Panel 5: My birdsona pops up all sweaty with placating claws Birdsona: but LISTEN.

But even if she knows something is wrong she doesn't know how to help Panel 2: Odile smiles while shushing Bonnie as they grin while hiding a potato somewhere with Odile text: She's this serious, cynical, and sarcastic older woman...But she also has a playful and mischievous side to her she'll sometimes let others in on Panel 3: text: She acts aloof and doesn't express her emotions very openly...but she cares so deeply... drawing of Odile looking deep in thought while saying: "But I would do anything to protect all of you.

Panel 4: silhouette of Odile from behind text: And later it makes sense why she's uncomfortable with that label Page 2 Panel 1: Odile wandering off in the grassy field with clouds above her text: Her father died a few years back.

my hot writing take is that playing with POV is neat and you can do what you want. present tense first! close third! first-person-direct-address with bits of omniscient third! anything is legal if you look good doing it!!
