[andalon-historian]

The Vulgate Cycle (13th century) contains the funniest piece of bigotry I've ever read, in which the author reveals that he apparently believes that the pre-Christian inhabitants of Britain were all Muslims, and worship Jupiter, Apollo, and a completely made up god ("Tervagant").

"Muslims worship Mohammad so we killed or converted them all" is grade school, yawn/fuck off. Seemingly believing that "pagan" and "Saracen" are not two different words is so wrong it's hilarious.

Maybe he thinks he's a tiny bit nicer looking in them.

HERE'S A THOUGHT~!

In the MCU, the Time Stone was found by the sorcerer Agamotto thousands of years ago.

"The Ancient One is the latest in a long line of Sorcerer Supreme, going back thousands of years to the father of the Mystic Arts, the mighty Agamotto. The same sorcerer who created the Eye you so recklessly borrowed."

—Wong

So this dude, someone who was according to official papers was "a being" who was not human. And from the looks of it found the stone on earth.

Now here is my thought about this, what if this guy found the Time Stone in the Crystal Cave all those years ago. It would make sense for the crystals in the cave to have been affected by the time stone and have the properties of possible futures.

The Birth Place of Magic.

Agamotto might have taken the time stone but some of it's powers still remained there in the cave. Druids and other magic folk revere and fear the cave, cause if not careful one could go mad with all the possible outcomes of the future.

Merlin, long after Camelot, ends up back in the Crystal Cave and witnessing all the possibilities of the future. He learns much but also goes slightly mad for a time.

Then at some point he travels and finds Kamar-Taj. There he can feel the Time Stone but much more powerful then the cave. It calls to him, recognising Merlin as a worthy wielder or fellow kin.

Now I'm completely for the concept of Merlin being Magic itself and if Magic came to be in that cave, Merlin is a part of the time stone as we saw in the first episode of Merlin where he basically stopped time saving Gaius and slowing it down saving Arthur.

If the Infinity Stones were created by the Big Bang from 6 singularities, what if there was a 7th one.

Magic.

Diverse and capable of all 6 aspects of existance.

Making Merlin one of the very few to be capable of touching the stone itself, along with the other five.

What do you think?

So is the time travelling thing in the book

no, that's a Me Special. for one thing rymer has no reason to time travel varney into the past, because his qpr with charles is also a Me Special. any and all time fuckery in the canon of varney the vampire happens by accident, on account of the author not giving a shit about his own continuity

me: [thinking about how melliwyk is inclined to feel more comfortable building downward than constructing a classic tower if she ever became That Kind Of Wizard]

Huzza, Zack Pinsent has posted a new video!

Interesting point about Mr. Hallett's suit maybe being a navy blue instead of black.

I'm reading a book that makes me just so mad at christianity, not only nowadays but also in the early middle ages like gaaah so many thoughts

[radiumrat]

It's funny that reactionary conservatives are sooooo distressed about how drastically things have changed when very little has changed institutionally. Systems of power got a new liberal coat of paint and they really bought that it was a whole new country. Do they think that a new sun rises every day too

Hi, I've been inspired by the composition and abstract style of your artwork for a while now, if I made an experimental art piece inspired by your composition style would you want me to credit you as an inspo? or would you just not be comfortable with me using your art as inspiration altogether? (which is fine btw, i don't wanna do smth that would make you uncomfortable)

oh sure! feel free! I don't mind at all lol

[fandom-fae]

honestly. on one hand. i really really really like the version of peter pan from once upon a time, in the way that the actor does a phenomenal job, the character has great dialogue and is just overall really really enjoyable to watch imo. but then i remember how he kept wendy in a cage for like 300 years and like

i stan him but that is so. AGSJDHJDHDJ. like i feel SO BAD for wendy there. this poor girl honestlyyy. like. that’s so disturbing honestly. like i can’t imagine much things that would mess with someone’s psyche more than that. like if he had just kept her on the island then fine, but constantly in that tiny hanging cage??? big OOF.

like i’m sure she’d need like permanent therapy afterwards and even then how would you even begin to unpack that in therapy???? like??????

so taylor swift is producing a FuckTon of co2 bc shes been flying home after all her tour dates (insane behaviour) but i just saw something that said that this year she hasn't even cracked the top 30 celebs' private jet emissions so i googled to check & it looks like she after people started talking about her emissions in 2022 she did actually lower her emissions/flights/whatever (clearly not by enough) & said shed bought carbon offsets for her tour (which sounds good but the evidence that carbon offsets actually work is.. iffy) which begs the question:

given ts is FLYING HOME AFTER ALL HER SHOWS wtf are all the celebs who are beating her out doing?????

[franeridan]

can't stop thinking about that one post tumblr put on my dash that was like the main difference between luffy and teach is that teach is luffy without a dream..................... i mean it's cool to have our own understanding of the characters and all but how did you erase teach's introduction from your memory that thoroughly

[supercantaloupe]

also the difference in orchestration vs the original vs later (movie) add ins is really interesting to me. we're subbing in something good in place of an ordinary couple in act ii and it has FOUR instrument changes between EH and oboe within the one number (a whopping 89 measures). only Once in the entire rest of the score (all original to the stage show. we didn't get the rights to i have confidence lol) is there an instrument change mid-number (it's during the dance in sixteen going on seventeen)

[blujayonthewing]

I've thought a lot about the several thousand year old gnome druid we met who was just bitter and jaded and had spent most of those millennia sitting in one place not doing anything in particular except mourning her tiefling wife who'd died millennia ago, and how disgusted and infuriated with her melliwyk is, personally but also as a gnome herself-- and I'm thinking about it again like. honestly I think it goes beyond general cultural values; that level of willful ongoing stagnation and joyless nihilism is probably completely seriously a gnomish sin
