I think it's hilarious that hands down the worst way to learn magic is the actual rulebook. Please do not read that. It's just there for reference when something weird happens
posts that i know are about magic the gathering but i have to check to make sure op isn't just living in a way doper world than me
just saw a chart with the gender options "male" "female" and "part-time/other" and i think i get what they were going for but i'm obsessed with the concept of part-time gender. clocking into my shift at the gender factory and brother i am not getting paid a living wage

best thing tumblr ever did for me is the term "rotating it in my mind". it's really true that sometimes you think about something real hard but you can't tell what the thoughts are exactly. it's revolutionary stuff, i might even say
The tumblr blorbo in the blorbo tumbler.
Really cool shit about digimon 02 is how a huge chunk of the show have characters constantly talking about how killing is bad and all life is precious and you should find nonlethal ways to deal with your enemies and all that jazz, but the literal second Takeru and Hikari find themself away from the group (see: Dagomon episode) they just start killing people. No question of morality they don't even pause or bring it up they just straight-up murder bitches. It really hammers home that Daisule & the gang are kids having a whimsical fantasy adventure as heroes called from another world, while Hikari and Takeru are extremely traumatized isekai protagonists who spent a seizable portion of their childhood fighting demons in hell where a "kill or be killed" mindset was the only viable option, and that means the Takari & the rest of the 02 gang have WIDELY different ways of reacting to the world around them.
Haven't watched digimon in years so I might be misremembering shit but I'm fairly certain that when the topic of killing digimon does eventually come up, Hikari doesn't give a shit about the actual killing part, the part that saddens her is the fact that her companions will have no choice but to give up on their ideals this time.
hikari and taichi talk about it in one scene in 02 episode 43. taichi basically saying that the new kids arent used to fighting evil digimon that arent mind controlled or created by the dark towers and him questioning if they are capable of doing that if it becomes necessary

she doesn't even care about the murder part she's just sad these other kids will have to become like her.
i only have the german dub here rn but taichi goes “thats why you could eliminate them (digimon created by dark towers) without feeling guilty” implying they do feel guilty about the digimon they had to kill and hikari agrees. after saying that if things continue they will be like three years ago and hikari flinches before he says that it wont be long until they will face digimon that they will have to stop at any cost, tailmon and agumon agreeing with him. hikari having this expression
when you have to force your friends to go through the same trauma you did because the world's built-in algorythm to save itself chose you guys to do the deed. Bottom text.
im skimming through the following episodes and thats also when ken gets kidnapped and they end up killing ladydevimon before she can kill miyako
miyako is very upset and hikari tells her that killing ladydevimon saved the lives of several people
iori has a similar experience in the same episode
he has to think about his father being a police officer but does question if they did the right thing
anyway the end up punting demon to the dark ocean while contemplating their mortality. have a cute frame of them being squeezed into the back of a car
“we want you to keep living and keep suffering” adhghdkjadhgjkd german dub savage as hell. mortality theme comes up again with black wargreymon who wanted them to kill him after losing the fight and wormmon going all “you have to fight and struggle when times are hard”
and by god i miss this agumon who could say shit like “you once asked me why are the way you are and i cant answer that. but i can tell you why i am the way i am: because of all the things i’ve experienced.”
I wanted to put a more positive spin on the popular skeleton leaving meme
