Violet's interest in plants has opened me to a blindspot I've never addressed before. Wizards seem to pass off humans as simple fodder. My intent is not to be preachy, it's fine of course that we use them when we need to. There's a large disconnect between humans and everybody in the magical realm. When looking at the hierarchy created even, humans are on the bottom of the pyramid. I feel like the mentality that wizards carry with humans and magical species is that "so long as they're entertaining, I take interest". Humans offer none of this entertainment. In a similar way that most humans dismiss plants without a though, wizards do the same to humankind.
But humans have an interesting primitive culture that shouldn't be overlooked. The way they find solutions without magic and through technology and science is fascinating. Their solution to answers they can't answer. I particularly think that their ways of coping or denying their encounters with us stands out. Even some of my books had somehow found their ways into their bookstore, but whereas on our bookstores it's under nonfiction, for humans, it's under fiction. They're fascinated with us but also draw inaccurate generalizations, almost like a reflection of our own behavior. Have you read a human's book about witches and wizards? If you haven't, you should and experience misrepresentation for yourself. It makes sense, however. Even now they struggle with their own species over differences, not yet prepared to acknowledge our own.
Another odd thing wizards seem to overlook, perhaps because they dismiss all other species, is the human's ability to become a hybrid with species like vampires and were-animals. Considering they're the main food source for a huge portion of species, overlooking their importance is a bit too short-sighted. They're more than food, however. Despite having such short lifespans, they manage to create different time periods, rise and falls of kingdoms and countries, something that is constantly changing unlike the stagnant and unifying society of our own.
Take some time and study them, even take a trip and see how they live. You'll definitely learn something.
