In Life’s name, and for Life’s sake, I say that I will use the Art for nothing but the service of that Life.

- The Wizard’s Oath, from the Young Wizards book series

I don’t know if she’ll actually see this, but I’m following Diane Duane here on tumblr, and she’s…kind of fantastic. Not even kind of fantastic, she’s about the coolest, most human human being/minor celebrity I’ve ever had the pleasure of stalking tagging along behind. It’s nice to remember that you can be a writer who’s touched and changed the imaginations of so many people and still have intense feelings over the Reichenbach Fall, or admit that you wrote Kirk/Spock slash in your early years, or…other things I can’t think of right now but that are still completely awesome.

The discussion of Gallifreyan wizards somehow sprang up either yesterday or the day before. So…I decided to try to write the Oath out in one of the languages of the Time Lords, as a silly little gift for a fellow fangirl (albeit a much more accomplished one than I!) I’m sure it’s…not the most elegant application of circular Gallifreyan, but hey. ^^; Also, only the first sentence (for now…?), because it took hours and made my brain ache enough on its own. XDDD

I forget whether I reblogged this. Never mind: here it is (possibly again). And what a super thing it is! And thank you for going to all that work.  :)

(…Oh, BTW, one thing I should clarify: I didn’t write K/S myself, but I had numerous friends who did so, and I read quite a lot of it. [I still remember possibly the best piece of it I ever saw, and the funniest… it started with the truly unforgettable opening line, “Spock was aces at breaking and entering.”] )

Before you click through to the actual legible comic you may want some context!

SO WE’RE TRYING TO FIX THE SHRINE TO MIND MAGIC. It’s been vandalised/corrupted by some vandals who are trying to make our lives difficult. But being the shrine of mind, it is full of tricks and puzzles.

There was one locked door we hit where there were four platforms beside it, and an inscription above them that read:

He who has on earth, has not in heaven

He who dances on earth, dances not in heaven

He who sings on earth, sings not in heaven

But he who offers prays on earth to the Lord shall be blessed now and forever onward.

idk why there is a typo in this inscription on a wall

BUT ANYWAY after much pondering we finally figured out we had to stand on these platforms, correlating to each line of the inscription — Asher stood on the first, Fuu on the second (‘cause she used to dance), Lord Thaydin was reluctantly talked into standing on the third (“I can’t sing.” “Stand there anyway. It doesn’t say sing well.”) and Yin obviously took the praying one at the end. We ended up all being compelled (oh, shrine of MIND MAGIC, right) to fulfill the various things and then had them taken from us - Asher’s stuff disappeared, Lord Thaydin lost his voice, and Fuu couldn’t move, BUT YIN WAS DANDY since he was the praying dude. He was able to unlock the door, and his touch was able to fix each of our new problems.

He decided to do this by gently touching Fuu’s head, grabbing my necromancer by the throat, and giving Asher a high-five. Lord Thaydin was understandably alarmed by his methods.

Zim and I imagined the the party discussing this afterwards, and then I had to make a comic about it, which we have both decided is 100% what actually happened while walking to the next room.

Neither one of our characters slept last night and I think it shows.

“I’m the best at having things!” *points* This makes my day brighter.

Nancy Botwin, Louis CK, and Batman

So…we’re going to get really high, and send Batman to do the killing!

Tyrion Lannister, Jackie Chan and Gordon Freeman?!?!! Hell yeah, bitches. Me and Tyrion will be the brains, Jackie and Gordon the brawns. Invincible.

Walter White, Bender, David Grohl.

I’m fucked.

Yeah bender is awesome but he’ll also probably abandon us.

Nancy Botwin, Bruce Willis AND THE INCREDIBLE HULK! I’ll live so lang as Dr. Banner doesn’t get infected

Dude, I have Sheldon Cooper, The Hulk, and 50 cent. That’ll do. 

Dexter, Batman, & Bieber. I’ll live & have a person to sacrifice so the rest of us can escape!

Me: Olivia Benson, Jason Statham and Darth Vader — I think I’m good. 

Boyfriend: Jack Bauer, Will Smith, and Captain Jack Sparrow.  Also probably good even if Jack will eventually get drunk on rum and end up bitten and need to be shot.

Dr. Cal Lightman and Justin Bieber but I have a Hulk. I’ll be fine.

Dexter, Darth Vader, and CHUCK NORRIS. *thumbs up* Bring it on, Apocalypse, bring. it. on.

The best part was when I tried to explain this picture to my own mother. I think she kinda got it? Anyway, Happy Mother’s Day tumblr!

Nobody really needs to sleep anyway. Have a Tom and Loki.

I concur with Loki.

The most amazing. I particularly like the attention paid to the One Leather Jacket.

Let’s take a moment 

to examine

how often

this man

is spotted

sporting

the now infamous

the notorious

leather

jacket.

Also, brodinson’s left these tags:

#lmfao at tom’s colorful speech bubbles #he would talk like that #his words have their own colors

so I made these:

but actually it goes more like this

this entire post and comments is just the best thing to ever exist

I thought I needed oxygen, now I know that I need this more.

“There is, however, one particular role which David would love to play: Doctor Who.”

This was published in 1988 in the Paisley Grammar School magazine (David’s school).
