Cranky Sai
Doodless of everyday shenanigans
It’s a personal hc of mine that while Boros is a genius and can do a lot of things incredibly well, his cooking skills.. leave a lot to be desired.

So when the Legion beats a fellow cultist in the street, it is called "justice."
But when I create an artistic display in real time using a Legionnaire's soft and squishy bits, it's a "criminal disruption of the peace" and a "crime against basic decency" and vomit-inducing, apparently.

So, a thought I’ve had: how many people do you think have died trying to have sex with their guild leaders?
Before any guild members say the actual numbers, I wanna guess.
Azorius: definitely not 0. The sphinx would kill you for suggesting it, but it’s probably safer with Lavina now. She’d just punch you.
Boros: Aurelia would probably kill you for suggesting it, but if she suggested it, then I think it would be intense. Hot, even.
Dimir: …. To be honest, I don’t know who their guild leader is and I’m assuming that’s the way they like it.
Golgari: I don’t see anyone trying to have sex with the liches, that being said, how many people do you think approached Vraska?
Gruul: honestly, all of their guild leaders have seemed like they would. It may kill you, but they wouldn’t kill you for suggesting it.
Izzet: Niv-Mizzet, probably an uncountable number of charred researchers who never even got close. Ral zerrek; I don’t think he would kill you, his husband, however would kill you and make you work off the debt you incurred as a ghost.
Orhzov: I don’t think anyone wants to fuck the council of ghost capitalists. And I mean, aren’t a big polycule? Only reason I could see for the council to hang out eternally.
Rakdos: uncountable number of charred people who did get it.
Simic: I mean. I don’t know a ton about the Simic guild leaders. But if you’re into changing your genes, I imagine you’re into both the magic and the mundane ways of doing it.
Selesnya: I… I can’t imagine trying to have sex with Trostani. They’re a tree. What are you gonna do? Pollinate them?

"average alien invades at least one planet a lifetime" factoid actualy just statistical error. average alien invades 0 planets per lifetime. Troublemaker Boros, who lives on a spaceship and invades 2 planets a decade, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
Turns out, if you've met an alien, then you've met an alien.
#OPM#Boros#shitpost#not-Boros#memetastic#but seriously I love that ONE's made clear that Boros's actions aren't automatically representative of his species#now I'm a bit sad that we didn't get to see this guy show up when Boros invaded and drag the troublemaker off somewhere

so this is a bit random for my blog but ive been dredging up my old magic the gathering hyperfixation because of friendgroups that play EDH and i had some random thoughts
ive always clicked weirdly well with the red/white color pairing but the reasons have shifted over time
and ive had this nagging brainworm that
magic as a whole is doing RW wrong.
allow me to explain
fair warning: this is going to get a bit political, a bit philosophical, and very strongly informed by who i am as a person
so
the core axiom here is that human nature in the absence of external factors is inherently good and altruistic. we know this because we are social creatures, and the fundamental basis of early social structures is coming together for mutual benefit. oppressive systems and harsh upbringings can and do quash this in favor of learned hostility and abusiveness but that core is always there. it’s why redeeming the villain is such a common fictional trope - if it wasn’t possible to change and grow and deconstruct learned harmful behaviors we wouldn’t write about it nearly as much now would we
magic as an ur-setting recognizes this to some extent. we see snippets of the kindness of strangers in Innistrad even amidst the horrors and the distrust and the paranoia, we see the selfless unity against the Eldrazi on zendikar drawing in all five colors of the pie, we see countless other examples throughout the planes
now, what does this axiom mean in the context of the color philosophies of red and white?
simple
red and white are not enemies at all
red is about freedom and impulsivity and emotion
white is about peace and justice and selflessness
both of those are deeply emotional, deeply raw, deeply human ideas!!
and the intersection of those ideas isn’t a controlling power structure, it’s compassion
and compassion is hardly oppositional - it’s cooperative and synthesistic by its very nature, it’s a harmonization of what those two colors are!
now admittedly this is where my perspective as an audhd trans girl comes in. i’m someone that the world’s power structures reject, someone that doesnt fit the status quo, someone who’s constantly shoved into boxes that i don’t fit by people more powerful than me. and i have kind of a thing for the color aesthetic of Boros, so trying to turn something i like aesthetically into something that meshes with and permits and supports who i am is a reasonable bias to assume
but i still feel like there’s a core truth to be considered here
games are a form of art; there’s plenty of evidence i think that the people making Magic realize this. but that drags in the corollary that all art is political. all art says something about the world, about the systems we live in. and what does the Boros say? that combining the philosophies of freedom and selflessness is a contradiction and leads to yet another oppressive power structure. it’s a subtly anti-revolutionary, status-quo perspective that could be done far better
more importantly, it’s eschewing that compassion
boros is a police state and a military structure, one that exists to enforce rules and make demands and enact violence
it’s not an institution of compassion
and frankly no top-down power structure can be, not at a systematic level
so, what would doing red-white right look like in my view?
pretty simple: it would be a bottom-up portrayal of the color pair. one where the defiance of red and the justice of white stand in opposition to an existing power structure, one where the righteous fury of the downtrodden feeds into both colors’ fundamental natures and binds them together
so uh
yeah
thank you for coming to my ted talk
okay so a couple final disclaimers
- the last time i seriously caught up with mtg lore was around Magic Origins, with sporadic involvement stretching out to Guilds Of Ravnica. i’m not terribly familiar with any of the expressions of RW since then, and i’m mostly focused on the lens of Boros specifically because they’re the faction that got me into the color pair. if there have since been counterexamples i will gladly accept infodumps, new blorbos to build TTS EDH decks around are always welcome (winota my beloved) (the cat ears,,, 🥺🥺🥺). this also extends to my understanding of magic’s development and philosophy as a whole, so if it seems like arguing from a Magic-cultural context that’s several years behind the curve uhhh yeah that’s probably why
- i’ll admit i’m not tremendously well-read in terms of firsthand literature in terms of leftist/anarchist theory, queer theory, or Magic’s color philosophies, and so most of my information is secondhand - if i’ve grossly misunderstood something feel free to explain (although if you’re going to be a TERF in the reblogs about it you can kindly go shit yourself)
- i mean no ill will and make no particular demands or anything towards the writers themselves who came up with boros or the ideas they’ve expressed through the faction/color-identity; it takes a certain perspective to notice these things and assuming people will just Get It is unreasonable, and i’m not here to like. Annoyingly Insist that the game i have a tangentialhyperfixation on conform to My Vision Of What It Should Be
and uhhh yeah! trans rights are human rights, free palestine, and wishing all capitalists a very fuck you!
sierra out, roll credits

I know I have talked shit about the guilds, I should probably give some of my gripes, with them, huh?
Gruul: they just tear shit down, and cause chaos, which is fun for a few days, but they never stop. Also, if you’ve ever been in a mosh pit with one, they will intentionally throw elbows and hands trying to start a brawl.
Golgari: I don’t like bugs. I have a phobia, and unfortunately it makes the entire guild suck. Also, if you buy anything off them, it’s definitely laced with something. 100% of the time.
Boros: part of the issue is the whole persecution of the Guildless, part of it is the fact they’re a guild full of cops, and part of it is the fact they have literal angels in the guild so they feel justified in their shitty takes.
Azorius: what I said about Boros being cops? Yeah, that except the cops are also legislators, actively voting for the police to be more powerful. Also, they FINED ME FOR EATING
Orhzov: Ghost capitalists. I don’t think I need to say much more, other than that for some reason we literally allow them to enslave ghosts and we’re cool with that??? If anyone enslaved a living person, we’d be pissed, but if they’re dead it’s cool?
Rakdos: other than the murder, I guess they’re fine. But it’s like hanging out with your friends from school who got really into music and drugs and never got a personality.
Izzet: other than being a dragon’s cult of personality, and having a literal murderer as their current leader (am I the only one who remembers when Ral killed the Izzet champion of the maze? So he could go instead? He did that in front of a crowd.) and the fact that a disproportionate amount of goblins have “research” accidents on their watch, its being surrounded by gifted kids who need to be the smartest in the room.
Dimir: for self preservation reasons I will not say anything about house dimir.
Simic: similar problem to Izzet, but they also just want to stick tentacles or crab claws on everything. I had a friend who transitioned with the combine, and she’s happy, but she also does glow in the dark.
Selesnya: I won’t get into the personal reason I dislike them, y’all aren’t ready for that story, but it’s almost a joke. “We prefer unity and harmony and peace and will FUCKING MURDER ANYONE WHO GETS IN THE WAY OF IT” (looking at you Trostani)
Not all of these organizations are bad, I just don’t understand why our government is run by all of them.
