hello everyone, it is your friend Business Gorillas and i am here to talk to you about wizards. now you may be asking yourself a lot of wizard-centric questions recently so let's talk about wizards and how they impact our every day lives


:shrug:what is a wizard?:shrug:
a wizard is a person who can use magic. magic can come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, much like the wizards themselves. most people believe that the original wizards came from another planet in some sort of battlefield galactic scenario where they came to a prehistoric earth and settled down. i guess somewhere along the way they decided to gently caress our subhuban ancestors and they made us. i always thought it was really weird at the end of that show with how they landed on the planet and someone from the enlightened space society decided to stick their donger in a caveman. like, what was the point of that? i'm sure the super futuristic space society had invented condoms or at least learned to pull out. do you think the half battlestar galactic/half caveman kids were accepted by the battlestar society? i imagine that would be pretty messed up, to be a half caveman half battlestar galactic baby. like, the first generation at least. i imagine that there was some sort of moratorium on doing sex to the cavemen but once one dude did it and the kid was fine i figure everyone just shrugged and got to it.

anyways, some people are wizards and some people aren't. that's what i'm trying to get at here

there are four main types of wizards:
- sorceror
- shapeshifter
- genies
- trickster

each of these different types of wizards work in a different type of magic and we'll start talking about them and other subsets of the main categories as we learn more about wizards (and ourselves) itt

let's spend some time talking about wizards and how they affect us every day

this brings us to our first type of wizard we will be talking about :

:science:SORCERERS:science:

sorcerers are your stereotypical wizard. they have command over the elements and spend lots of their time reading books. because of this, sorcerers have terrible social skills. back before the liberals invented vaccines which caused "autism", lots of these people were thought to be sorcerers instead. sorcerers are terrible with women and are actually very sexually frustrated. they live alone in giant towers and get into trouble because they channel their sex angst into things like blowing up villages and summoning elementals.


pictured: a sorcerer consults the All-Seeing Eye of Jarakth to find out where the clitoris is

because we're on gbs, some of you idiots might think that because you're bad with girls means that you might become a sorcerer one day. sorry, idiot. it doesn't work like that. just because you haven't touched a boob in a while doesn't mean that you'll gain magical powers. sorcerers are born that way and they are not a lifestyle choice.

while some sorcerers like to hide in towers. others can congregate anywhere, especially in between your walls and under your floorboards. while a single sorcerer might not harm your home too much, it may secrete pheremones to attract other sorcerers and soon enough, you can have a whole sorcerer colony underneath your floorboards! sorcerers cause billions of dollars in damages to homes across the US every year, so please be careful!

next up we will talk about shapeshifters. how exciting!
