It is still sooooooo fucking funny that tumblr, the “fuck that old man” website, the villain apologist website, AND the paranormal boyfriend website read Dracula and went “Count Dracula sucks, we hate this dude.” Planetary alignment levels of unlikely.

my phone told me that i was running out of storage space, so i went to the storage management page thing, and it suggested “you have 12 gb of screenshots. want to delete some to make some space?” and i checked the oldest screenshot i had in my folder and it was a tumblr screenshot from nearly 10 years ago, or approx. 3~4 phones ago
I’m just saying, if you’re going to worldbuild magic being a “raw, primal force, akin to and interweaving with nature itself” you gotta explain to me why animals don’t use it
I know the normal answer is “they just aren’t smart enough for it” but idk I’ve seen enough media where a character uses a spell in a moment of brain-off panic ilI feel like animals could probably stumble into a spell or two like, accidentally
Also how funny would it be to see a completely normal regular bear cast magic missile outta nowhere
Also there is no way ravens wouldn’t figure out spells, tbh
They’re smart fuckin birds, I believe in them
Either through observing or just figuring shit out ravens could 100% learn how to cast spells I’m sure of it
Dogs can also cast Magic Missile but every time they do the projectile is shaped like a bone or a stick and they chase after it
