This just makes me so sad. As a kid, the idea of throwing a penny into a well was so magical to me. Like, I thought that the coins just stayed in the well forever and were treated as these sacred objects.
And by seeing the coins other people had thrown in, there was a sense of belonging to some larger tradition. Like, even as a kid I thought it was cool that so many people had thrown coins into a well before I threw my coin in.
But, like, this whole "tap to make an offering" completely destroys the illusion. Like, way to completely take the fun nd meaning out of it.
i know what you mean, but because a lot of coins eventually corrode in water, it damages historical sites and monuments for there to be handfuls of copper, zinc, brass and even silver thrown in with the bacteria and acids of human hands to oxidize down at the bottom of a water feature. they appreciate the donations to help sustain the site, but the damage a dirty penny can do to ancient marble is much more than one cent can support the site.
this is also the reason why ponds and fountains at public gardens often have signs requesting people don't throw coins in. it introduces human germs, startles and stresses out the fish, and messes with the acidity and oxygenation levels of the water, which can make it unhealthy for plants and animals. cleaning coins out of inhabited ponds and other natural features requires human intervention, which wastes a park's money, stresses the fish out even more, and can lead to footprint erosion at the edges of the waterway, too.
throwing a penny in a public fountain is a wonderful and magical tradition, but it takes a certain type of fountain: modern built, self-contained, not a protected monument, not a natural water feature, and not home to fish or plants. please be thoughtful about when and where you make a wish, and why an organization might ask you not to.

My gift to Tish for Fandom Trumps Hate 2023. Thanks for your patience, it's been a crazy year for me!
Tish requested the hilarious scene from Damascus of our favorite goblin and rouge playing some poker. Hope you like it! It was super fun to work on.
Image Description: Traditional art piece made with colored pencils and markers. A gray skinned goblin and a human woman with short dark hair and a long trench coat sit on top of barrels playing a game of poker at a green table. The woman is clearly winning as she has a pile of arrows next to her, but the goblin is still happy with a big toothy grin on his face.

Bro, you ok? Bro, humans aren’t separate from the ecosystems around us. We’re a part of them, bro. Bro, we’re never going to have absolutely zero effect on ecosystems, because we live here, bro. Bro, I never said it had to be a bad effect. We don’t have to immediately be perfect either, bro, sometimes doing what you can is what you can, and its way better than nothing. Bro what do you mean humans are a plague. You’re starting to sound a bit like an ecofascist, bro… Bro?
