Your ghost vault propaganda inspired me to watch the first season in dominion and. I think Legundo irl left that vault and had a panic attack. His shivers were timbered. Viking was unhinged to exactly one person and it PAYED OFF. God damn.

NO FOR REAL ITS SUCH AN EXPERIENCE. like it's a known fact that The Voice(tm) does in fact actually scare Legundo IRL and Viking just. he's so GOOD at turning it on and off at unstable intervals

i think a lot about that scene though actually, because piglin 'Gundo is a fascinating character in his own right and is not a fully morally upstanding guy, and something i think is interesting is like. the entire time he's freaked the hell out and this doesn't exactly go away later in the scene, but i feel like you can see something just click in Legundo when Viking hands him that IOU back and it's so. gods. he goes from totally out of his depth to a lot more calm and almost a little dismissive once that IOU is back in his hands and Viking no longer has that total leverage. it's nothing short of fascinating.

just. in general. that's such a good scene. all the Ghost's Vault scenes are golden, and S2 of Dominion has some utter bangers if you're the type to backwatch VODs.

all this is to say! glad you enjoyed! :DDD

"Despite the challenges he had faced in the United States, Marshall Gauvin managed to attract sizable audiences in Winnipeg for fourteen years. How did he draw them in? His most popular stock in trade was condemnation of religious superstition. And he actively sought out conflict by challenging clergymen to debates. He was a showman as well, with considerable theatrical flair. “In addition to his oratorical style,” wrote Gray, “Gauvin was a natural born-mimic” who delighted in mocking travelling revivalists. “His imitations of their eye-rolling, arm-throwing styles rocked the theatres with laughter.”

During Gauvin’s first five years in Winnipeg, advertisements for his lectures were carried in the city newspapers’ crowded “church pages” on Saturdays, alongside announcements of the next day’s sermons and services. Thus, the advertisement of a preacher’s upcoming topic might be accompanied by an ad from the rationalist, explaining that he was going to demolish that preacher’s sermon from the previous week. He attended numerous church services to take notes and had agents who knew shorthand do the same so that he could rebut sermons point by point.

Gauvin also acted as the local debunker, attacking pseudoscientific ideas such as phrenology. An entrepreneurial guru whom Gauvin tackled was Orlando Miller, who promoted a combination of popular psychology, faith healing, and “visualization,” that is, causing reality to change by thinking positively. Gauvin also took aim at “new religious movements” led by charismatic figures. One such opponent was the mystic teacher Eugene Fersen, who claimed to be an exiled Russian baron and the nephew of Leo Tolstoy. Fersen styled himself “Svetozar, the Lightbearer.” In 1930 Gauvin debated him before an audience of 1,600 people and, according to all three judges and two-thirds of the audience, emerged the victor.

Where did he get his ideas? Gauvin loved books. They had been his university, and they, along with magazines, were his means of keeping abreast of useful developments in rationalism, science, politics, and biblical studies. In one lecture he explained:

The men who have done mighty things in the world have not done them because they were educated in colleges. The great have been great because they were great naturally and because they fed their greatness from the wellsprings of the world’s thought as it is found in books.

Visitors to Gauvin’s home commented that it was overflowing with volumes on every topic imaginable. His lectures were frequently extended reviews or summaries of books he had read; they profoundly shaped his discourse and his understanding of the world. It should also be remembered that, as a professional speaker, Gauvin was dependent on financial contributions from his listeners. Some variations in emphasis – or outright contradictions – that one finds between certain of his lectures reflect his need to cater to the current interests and tastes of his audiences. Religious controversy seems never to have gone out of style. As Gray commented in 1935, although Gauvin

puts on such a superlative performance in his jousts with priestcraft, his audience refuses to support him if he lapses into secular subjects. Even before the breadlines, socialism, communism and C.C.F.-ites carried off too many of his followers[,] he had difficulty in making ends meet when he turned from Yahweh to science.

...

Despite Gauvin’s interest in demonstrating what secular people could or should believe in, he had trouble attracting audiences for such themes and, as it turned out, created serious controversy by addressing topics on which he was not an expert. As Gray implied, Gauvin had been forced to cut short lecture series on “Economics” and “Psychology” partly because of a lack of interest, and partly because his somewhat liberal view of economics did not always align with the views of the many socialist members of his audience. Attacks on Christianity and the Bible therefore remained his bread and butter. In order to dethrone Christianity, the dominant Canadian faith, Gauvin would on occasion speak on other world religions like Islam or Buddhism. While he believed that all religions were ultimately misguided, he would at times say positive things about such non-Christian faiths, to combat the notion that Christianity was somehow superior.

In many ways Gauvin acted as a minister would with a congregation. On occasion his talks were even preceded by an organ recital. More generally, Gauvin spoke every Sunday (except in summer), passed a collection plate, delivered funeral addresses (albeit secular ones), wrote letters of recommendation, and served as a patron for rationalists who needed help. In early 1929, for instance, Gauvin intervened with the authorities on behalf of a woman who regularly attended his lectures. Her husband, W.A. Craig, was a bank employee who found himself in straitened circumstances. He had stolen a large sum of money but then, according to Gauvin, returned it of his own accord. Some 1,200 Winnipeggers (both members of Gauvin’s Rationalist Society and sympathizers) passed a resolution urging clemency for Craig, and Gauvin corresponded with various government officials on the man’s behalf. Not forgetting his raison d’être, he took the opportunity to accuse the churches of remaining silent on the case."

as 'from the river to the sea' becomes a bigger slogan for decolonization, i wonder how long until 'from sea to sea (to sea)' no longer represents the establishment and maintenance of the canadian national project, but its dismantling and liberation, from coast to coast

↪   𝐌𝐀𝐆𝐍𝐄𝐓𝐎 𝟐𝟎𝟗𝟗

song: Lapse by Black Math

a phantom in the twilight of a dying world, days are a tapestry woven with the scent of ozone and burning metal, the bitter tang of blood and the sweet promise of revolution, helmet battered and cutsleep in the cold embrace of abandoned skyscrapers, dreams haunted by the specter of a world consumed by its own hubris. hands, calloused and scarred, are as adept at crafting swords as they are at wielding deadly force.

Magneto is a phantom adrift in a cosmic ocean-- a man haunted by echoes. He exists in a liminal space, a ghost in a world that is both familiar and alien.

He is a wanderer in a cosmic expanse, a ghost haunting the halls of time. A wanderer in a multiverse of infinite possibilities... fighting for Krakoa that teleported through time, seeking a conquest to bring mutants to the island bulwark.

He knows the taste of hope, the bitterness of despair, and the chilling indifference of the cosmos.

A titan forged in the crucible of suffering, barely thethered to sanity. His mind, a labyrinth of infinite possibilities, is both his greatest strength and his most formidable foe. Haunted by the specter of what could have been, he navigates a multiverse teeming with alternate realities, each one a stark reminder of his own choices, his own failures.

Having witnessed the myriad fates of mutantkind across countless universes, he carries the weight of their collective suffering. The atrocities, the triumphs, the endless permutations of hope and despair have etched an indelible mark on his soul. Magnus is burdened by the knowledge of what could be, haunted by what might have been.

He knows of Magda. Of Anya. Of his lost Wanda, Lorna and Pietro. Charles and the New Mutants. Left behind or dead. He had seen the open doors that showed worlds. But he could not let them have him. He could not let himself have that peace, for they are happier without him. It is a wound he has learned to cauterize, a chapter he has forced himself to close.

But every choice, he is reminded of the tormented soul who questions the path he has chosen.
