The Will to Change by bell hooks needs to be assigned reading for everyone.

In general, boys and men are socialized to be this way, purposefully not taught the skills they need to form meaningful connections because it serves the powers that be to keep us as isolated as possible beyond the necessity of creating more future workers. All that gets emphasized in their relationships is domination (not the kink obvi) - the goal is constant domination over women, other men, your own feelings, your work, everything. It isolates and enrages, creating the toxicity we're all striving to overcome.

And bell hook's main point is that love and this constant need to dominate cannot coexist. So we need to reconsider how boys are raised and socialized collectively or these issues will struggle to ever change.

the weirdest fucking thing to me is how men will be like "it's so hard being a man. no one cares that i'm sad. the loneliness we experience could NEVER be understood by a woman" and then also be like "btw i never talk to my friends and i don't know their names and i love hanging out with men because they don't talk about their stupid emotions all the time. women could never understand a bond like this." like ???

magic system where “dark magic” and “light magic” are literal terms - dark magic consumes photons, making an area around the spell visibly darker, sometimes to an Extreme extent, and light magic releases photons.

because of this most dark mages tend to work in very brightly-lit areas (either artificial light or outside in the daytime) to fuel their spells and wear and use lightly coloured clothes and tools so that they’re easier to see in the dimness their spells create, whereas light mages wear heavy, sometimes leaden robes (depending on the work being done) and the magical equivalent of welding masks to protect themselves from what can be an extreme amount of light, and sometimes other kinds of electromagnet radiation!

needless to say this is incredibly confusing for anyone unfamiliar with the culture
