Every time I find myself thinking ā€œbut how could you not know???ā€, I remember how little I know about sports ball and how shocked some people are that I donā€™t know what kind of ball sports the Pirates play (basketball? Football?? IDK??? Maybe itā€™s not even really a team?) and I get it.

I'm scanning old photos, so let's play a game. Who are the people in this photo? What event was it taken at? What year?

No alt text so as to not give away what I'm asking people to guess.

One of the responses this thread (on the Bad Place) got, a few times, ran roughly "if magic is common, magicians become engineers" or variations of that theme - the assumption that magic would be rapidly systematized by fictional pre-modern societies. And I don't think this is right. 1/

A tweet of mine from Twitter discussing magic systems, it reads, "One of the substantial errors, in my mind, in fantasy writing, is the idea that 'magic' has to be forced to follow either 1) a parallel system of physics or 2) a logical rules-based system.

I'd argue instead that magic systems ought to be *thematically relevant* & *consistent.*"

A version of The Smile where you see someone doing The Bill Maher Face, like the kind of Joe Camel/Oh Really face he makes in every photo, and then are tormented into madness as you see other people doing The Bill Maher Face. The final stage is you start calling bartenders "doll" or "babe."

We just need them to keep making increasingly serious movies until we finally understand the character of the Joker, a clown who is mean.
