  • I like the idea that they’re not just symbols, but shapes. Get anything to be shaped like a rune, and it’ll touch magic. So two rocks leaned against each other just right might create a trickle of water, or a tree that grows a twisted enough web of branches could, by chance, summon a flame. Then, like with all natural phenomenon, people figured it out! It fits well with the trope that wizards are arcane researchers and scientists, you find in settings like D&D’s



  • I agree with all of this, and I think it’s the right choice. You don’t have to immediately come out as the brave warrior of what is right, but you can absolutely speak up, in all kinds of ways. Even just starting with, “Hey, this line doesn’t sound right, I think it would make more sense if it said ‘gender’ here,” could be helpful. If they insist, ask why.

    Everyone’s individual circumstances are going to be different, but there’s definitely something you can do. The pressure you’re feeling is exactly what the fascists want you to bow to, but most of the people you work with aren’t fascists. You might be surprised how much change you can make
