it really is crazy how quickly people were willing to just let chatgpt do everything for them. i have never even tried it. brother i don't even know if it's just a website you go to or what. i do not know where chatgpt actually lives, because i can decide my own grocery list.
this website is so full of morbidly depressed people its kind of refreshing actually. no glamour no spectacle of a perfect life even the biggest blogs here are run by suicidal transsexuals with messy rooms who have strange sexual fantasies. found my people
It’s a relatively unassuming wall toward the northwest corner of the bat cave, one that’s subtly shadowed by the giant penny but nevertheless a blank canvas.
So it’s not that surprising that even in a family full of detectives, the single post-it note stuck onto the rough concrete went unnoticed until a week after its placement.
It read: RED ROBIN SLIPPING ON ICE AND FALLING FIVE (5) SEPARATE TIMES DURING ONE FIGHT
Tim was slightly perturbed but not surprised; his lack of balance in his suit’s newly designed boots was particularly egregious that night. He retaliates the only way he knows how.
The second post-it is what grabs the attention of the rest of the bats.
It reads: JASON STARTING THE KEURIG BUT FORGETTING TO PUT HIS MUG UNDER SO COFFEE FLOODED ONTO THE FLOOR
Was Jason the culprit who stuck the first note onto that wall? Unclear. But that didn’t matter. The deed was done.
Soon the wall was deluged with every color and shape of post-it note, detailing every mishap, small or large, committed by any member of the family. The following is an itemized collection of a selection of entries.

The current Mystra is the third Mother of Magic and she was originally a mortal human woman named Ariel Manx.
Ariel was the second daughter of a wealthy merchant and she liked to sneak out at night to go partying in the clubs.
While out clubbing one night, Ariel - known as Midnight among her friends - met a conjurer named Tad who introduced her to magic and brought her to Mystra's temples.
When Ariel was 21, she attracted Mystra's attention and began to feel as though she were being watched. Whenever this happened, she found that her ability to cast spells increased and that spells that she once found difficult were much easier.
In 1358, when Ariel was 26, the ALL gods were cast out onto the Material Plane by Ao because Bane and Myrkul were being little shits and making yet another power grab, like they do.
The Original Mystra was extremely Unhappy about being thrown out of the heavens and tried to march back up the Celestial Stairway to reclaim her place of power.
Ao did not take kindly to this, and promptly had Helm kick her ass.
Unfortunately, Mystra dying is Bad For The Weave, and Ao had to replace her.
He picked Ariel.
When she was 26.
Immediately after she kicked Myrkul's bony ass in a duel that took place in the sky over Waterdeep.
In order to make the transition easier, Ariel took up the name of Mystra so that
27 years later, Cyric and Shar conspired to kill her so that Shar could take over as the Mother of Magic and spread her Shadow Weave over the land.
Instead of granting Shar control of the Weave the way she hoped, the new Mystra's death/disappearance caused the Weave to collapse, taking the Shadow Weave with it and kicking off what is known as the Spellplague.
Unlike the last two times Mystra was killed, everything went kind of nuts. Magic faded, blue fire raged across the land, killing everything it touched and then raising them into ghouls, the landscape became warped, it was Bad.
The only good thing to come out of the Spellplague was the Dragonborn, who were released from thousands of years of enslavement as a result of the blue fire blowing everything to shit. Hooray for the dragonborn!
Anyway.
Over the next hundred years, things calmed down and the magic… sort of returned, but there were a lot of changes to how magic worked. The Mother of Magic was a non-entity, her presence unfelt even by the famed Elminster of Shadowdale.
At least, not until 1479, when he found her possessing a bear and guarding a hoard of magic items she'd stashed while mortal.
She sent him out to go find new candidates to become her Chosen, and he came back a few weeks later after gorging on the magic of a few of Mystra's other Chosen and gave her enough juice to "return."
Three years later, the Second Sundering started when Bhaal's last two descendants fight to the death and resurrect him as a result.
At this point, ALL the gods are out there recruiting people to become their Chosen right, left, and center. It's a race to become the strongest god in the pantheon, with the winners being decided based on who has the most followers.
This goes on for five years, with the Second Sundering coming to a close in 1487. This was when Mystra became fully restored as a Goddess, with the Weave returning to its original strength.
Over the next two years, MOST of the gods drop their Chosen like they're hot and go quiet, resulting in the rise of clerics as mortals struggled to understand why the gods' behaviors changed so drastically from before.
Mystra was actually one of the few who kept in contact with her Chosen while a few others (such as Ellistraee and the Dead Three) chose to remain on Toril in Avatar form.
In the year 1491, Gale Dekarios of Waterdeep finds the Netherese Orb and has his silver flame (the mark of Mystra's chosen) consumed by it.
12 years after Mystra - once the mortal woman known as Ariel Manx - recovered from her near-death experience.
Please, I am begging you. Stop portraying Mystra the Ultimate Evil and Gale as her Innocent Victim. Their whole relationship is so much more complex than that. Mystra put so much trust in Gale and simply asked that he not cross her boundaries in return, and Gale, in his own words, "sought to cross [those] boundaries." He's a man who heard no and decided that he wasn't going to stop trying until that no became a yes.
I'm not saying Gale is the villain in this, but I am saying that both Gale and Mystra are complex individuals who are both flawed in different ways, and reducing them down to Good and Bad is doing them a disservice.
Not to be dramatic but I do think we need to start flaying the rich alive and stringing up the corpses as a visceral display of opposition to their power and it needs to be very public and looked upon by our descendants as barbaric. It’ll be cute I think
Okay hear me out. Ultimate Clone X theory
Clone X is Soup clone.
My evidence for this theory? Plenty when he talks to Crosshair about Joining them when he had the chance? He’s talking about during the food fight. This entire time he has been biding his time. And what is a river if not the soup of nature? I feel this in my bones. All other theories have been rejected as inferior Dogma? Nah! Tech boring! Cody? Ha give me a break. Slick? Derivative. It’s soup clone. The ultimate villain.
... is Callum going to use dark magic to trap Aaravos in a coin? In the s6 finale he picks up Runaan's coin, and Rayla found K'ppar's coin earlier last season- what if they use the remaining quasar diamond to free him, Callum learns the spell and succumbs to the dark magic- what if that's the choice thats the sacrifice HOLY SHIT
Callum 'I would do anything for you.' Rayla 'pick the greater good.' What if the greater good is him giving himself over to darkness, what if the greater good means he needs to be the one to trap Aaravos forever.
What if Claudia comes around instead, leaving the path she thought her father wanted her to follow-making her way back to Terry and betraying Aaravos in one fell swoop.
The theme of book 7 is literally 'sacrifice' and is probably going to be titled Dark since the other seasons have the primal magic names already. I am so fucking hyped
