Maria Dragoncaster
Hello everyone! I am Maria Dragoncaster, a adept pyromancer from Wizard City, nice to meet you! My creator says that I can now be asked questions from other people. Which is great! Though, knowing how the internet is, they’ll probably either be sad or sexual. Hopefully, I’ll get some happy or silly ones.
I am open to anyone who wants to ask me a question, including pirates and my fellow wizards! Don’t worry, I don’t burn. Well, got to go, Lucette needs help with putting something in her hair. Remember, Fire is the best school and live life! Bye!

P101 Fandom
God, I hate this damn fandom. I should’ve known that becoming involved in a fandom centered around a children’s game would have people in it acting like children.
The hivemind of Tumblr should learn to fact check their shit before just listening to one post of a bitter person who can’t admit that they were wrong.
The fact that some of y’all made whole ass another account just to bash on one person says a lot.
You people do this all the time and never learn from your mistakes. The fact that most of y’all doing it are white doing it towards POC says too much. The fake wokeness jumped OUT. I knew y’all were performative. Not a damn single one of y’all spoke up when my people were getting killed and beaten for minding their own business. And yet, now y’all wanna be so loud for this shitpost?
Laughable.
Don’t you EVER in your LIFE ask me why I don’t interact or participate in this hellhole called a fandom. You know DAMN well. Oh and P.S Don’t try coming into my inbox or try to reblog this post to explain yourselves or somebody else. I already watched the situation, I don’t need a transcript.
People on this Damn website
People really be like:
“Black Lives Matter!” Then in the next breath: “All straight and cisgender people are gross. All of them. They’re too sensitive.” Don’t think y’all slick You’re not. I spotted that. You fake wokesters and false progressives are getting more and more lowkey by the day but still don’t get that POC can see right through you. And good job at using the same argument that certain other groups leveled at certain other groups of people before.
Learn to tell actual funny jokes and maybe you’ll get a harder exhale of air. Until then, you thinly not so veiled bigotry will make due for comedy.
“You came all this way to see me? Why…I’m flattered!”
Shadow Trickster from Wizard101.
Life wizards can and will stray from their path.
Theurgists listen to the Song of Creation, what was once sung to creat the Spiral and still resonates today, echoing off of each life wizard vector who continues this growth. The full feeling in their chest, fluttering hands and heartbeat as they genuinely wish for something to florish.
The Song is a cry in the darkness, and they are the ones who listen, who understand. Living is difficult, unfair. It is chance and then it is a competition, species fighting like weeds trying to strangle a garden. But the weeds wish to live too. It is all they have.
The Song is a quiet melody, repeating in their minds when they begin to learn the intricacies of life magic. It is in off-key humming as they tidy up their dorm room. It is in awful singing along on long trips. It is in shower concerts, in the absentminded finger on the dusty piano. The Song is baby's laughter and a cat's purr and the shaky vows of love.
It grows, as all things do. It manifests in life wizards and they can only grin and dance to a predestined beat, full of nice feelings. Sunshine warming their body. The soft petals of fragility. The peace of knowing they can only do their best, and accepting it.
There is a resentment that can fester, however. In hidden things, the parasites hijacking the bugs, the disease and rot where nothing new can blossom. It is when they tire of singing along. It is when they snap at fellow life wizards for whistling and humming seemingly random tunes. It is the knowledge that their every action is guided by a Song sung at the beginning of the Spiral, and the assumption that nothing can be done because of that.
They want to do more. There is no lost cause. There is no excuse in this prewritten lullaby, and they will not surrender into acceptance when injustices happen every day, and no music can rectify them.
So they stop listening.
They are silent, now. They cannot effect the Spiral in any way that creates sound, now. In their rejection their claps are nothing. Their footsteps do not effect forest or classroom floors. Snaps, the creaking of joints, sighs, involuntary groans of pain.
When a life wizard rejects this song, they too are rejected in turn.
They have ideas now, goals. They save people written off as dead, they can save so many. They live with a weight taken off of their mind, no longer under any will but their own. Violin and guitar and piano strings do not guide them like a puppet. Their heart is no longer a drumbeat. Their every move is no longer just a note on a page, on straight, ridged lines.
It is almost soothing, to be encased in silence. Like the shade of a tree after being pulled outside to enjoy a spring day. Like an oasis in the desert. Like a rock to rest upon as the river runs lazily around you, no longer forced to sink or swim.
Their silence can be their end, no matter how free their will is.
They cannot cry for help. No one will hear their cries of pain, their frantic breaths, the grotesque song of their body breaking. This is simply a rest between notes, a small exhale of silence while other instruments continue on in the orchestra.
Another will take their place soon enough, one more ready to listen well to the Song of Creation.
Truly I'm still in 2011 playing wizard101. I don't know dick from squat when it comes to battle strategy and equipment grinding and pet breeding and on and on and on. All I know is hit thing harder than it hit me, like god intended. Yes I lose battles a lot why do you ask
so does ambrose really just suck us into the spiral?? like why do we just agree to do all this stuff?? why aren’t we in class bruh??
Because of the semi-recent uproar stirred by by J/K/R's blatant antisemitism in that new H/ar/ry P/ott/er game (putting slashes to keep this post from potentially showing up in searches for those terms bc theyre not the focus of this post), and the drive to make the Wizard101 community more explicitly Jewish-friendly, there is a word floating around in wizard101 canon and thus in the wizard101 communities online that I'd like to call attention to.
Cabal
The name of the major antagonists in the second half of Arc 3 and beyond. Host to some of our favorite characters.
The word 'cabal' simply means "a secret political clique of faction".
Why am I calling attention to this word and name?
The word cabal is derived from the rabbinical Hebrew word 'Kabbalah', the word for Jewish religious teachings (specifically study and interpretation of the Torah). I hope I don't have to explain why turning the word for our religious studies into meaning a secret political organization is antisemitic as fuck.
Im not blaming the wiz communities online for using this word, and Im not sure I can even blame the writers for not considering the antisemitic roots of the word. The writers likely didnt think 'oh, let's intentionally use an antisemitic word for the villains we want to introduce'. Antisemitism is woven into our language and culture. Cabal was an antisemitic word and concept before it was a name for a group of fictional villains in an MMORPG.
That being said, we don't have to be (and in fact, we SHOULDN'T be) complacent in antisemitism. Language matters. Therefore, if I may, I'd like to suggest a word we can use instead of Cabal/Cabalists:
Schismist
In canon, the Cabal and Arcanum had been one entity (the old Arkanum) before the Great Schism happened in which the two broke apart into what they are today. The Cabalists were the ones forced out, and the ancestors of the modern Arcanum followed the goal of studying all the schools of magic, rather than studying how to survive the apocalypse.
A friend offered this word up to a discord server we were in, and we all made the switch there.
I'm not asking for much. Just for us to be the slightest bit conscious of our language. Just for us to replace one word for another.
