This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I like to think of it like rubix cubes. Those guys that memorized the algorithm and can solve a rubix cube in seconds? That's what a wizard is doing for every spell, and each one is a different algorithm, shape, number of faces, etc.
The problem with that analogy is that an adept person can solve multiple Rubik's cubes a day and can do so with little to no warmup.
A rubix is always the same cube.
Imagine if you changed what the cube looked like based on the wind, the trajectory of the object you're trying to hit, or the alignment of the stars, and if you fuck up it's exploding in your face. Also you have a troll charging at you trying to hit you, and you only have 6 seconds to solve it. And you need like 10 other types of puzzles memorized too.
Plus if you fuck it up the bard ain't gonna let that go for god knows how long.
