Artificer school would have loved you

Most people ask me: “How the fuck did you graduate from Wizard School?”

I didn’t. I got kicked out 2 weeks in for permanently petrifying a classroom with an arcane machine I made.

Saw these right next to each other and I don’t know how to feel

the need to talk about the characters vs the fear that all of my analysis is just empty prose and surface level understanding

does this count for another one?

chuck tingle

just fucked an abstract concept

I had a talk with the guys at work about the sheer amount of superhero media available right now, and one of them came up with the idea of "Post-Marvel".

I like a lot of the MCU, but after all this time it's become repetitive. They give a somewhat grounded depiction, but it's still played pretty straight.

What draws me in now isn't superheroes played straight. It's superheroes deconstructed, new concepts explored, not the massive franchise-building heavyweights that have been around for decades.

Worm is set in a world where powers develop after traumatic experience. Naturally, there are way more villains than heroes, and the main character ends up becoming a villain just because she was that desperate for friends.

The Boys is a scathing critique of corporations and celebrity worship. The heroes work for money, so they get merchandising deals, ad campaigns, and good enough PR and Legal that they can literally get away with murder.

Invincible is more loving, but it doesn't shy away from showing how brutal things can get when superpowers are in the mix.

Dreadnought is a great book that shows a lot of nuance in the morals, and the sequel Sovereign is very vocal about how mainstream media rarely accept minorities unless its something they can catch a ride off.

I still love superheroes. I just want something besides Marvel.

Harrison Ford is jesus confirmed????

reasons to love harrison ford

1. hates donald trump 2. got his ear pierced at claires because why not 3. legit asks people to beat him up in action scenes EVEN NOW AS AN OLD MAN 4. is arguably one of the most iconic star wars characters yet couldnt give less of a crap abt star wars 5. the universe tried to kill him (or at least permanently incapacitate him) twice in 2015 and it only mildly inconvenienced him 6. flies helicopters in search and rescue missions 7. was in his 40s for the majority of the indiana jones series which is insane when you think about all the stunts involved 8. quote “the director yells cut and harrison cracks open a beer and then builds a fucking shed” 9. arguably sexy 10. points angrily and its super effective

So.... how's everyone doing?

See y'all in Season 5!!

there’s something else that’s really interesting about Scion that’s revealed in this chapter though

and that is that Scions an asshole

now that feels obvious with him blowing up Britain but specifically because of how Jack convinces Scion to start killing he tells him to do what his ancestors did which for Entities is the exact opposite of what they’re trying to do

the whole point of Entities is to stop entropy since they realized the old way of just fighting an consuming was going to cause them to die out and yet Scion decides to revert to the old ways and kill everything and there by ruining the Simulation and stopping any progress on the entropy problem which is the exact opposite of what Entities want to do

this means to other Entities specifically Scions a huge self important asshole

Very confused by sting interlude 3; don’t really get what happened
