Alchemicalmoth - Stories And Magic

The Red Queen, Chihiro Ogino Sen

Ok question? If Magneto has control of electromagnetism....again I am just asking than theoretically could not control gravity? Um...and taking it a step further could he not like make a black hole? That in layman's terms is a gravity well so strong nothing can escape?

Or do them temporary like in Inyuasha with with the attack of Meidō Zangetsuha

I don't know, I do see Erik being very rigid in his approach in regards to his powers as thinking he can only bend metal.

As writer, I just see as Charles's advice for being in a state at the point between rage and serenity as both limiting and empowering for Erik; its good up to a point.

It takes Peter asserting his powers over liquid metal; that Erik can hardly do and he has to do some introspection over his supposed title of Master of Magnetism.

All theses different aspects of electromagnetism like nuclear fission or fusion, lighting, gravity, bloodbending, force fields, hovering, solar flares, electricity, controlling the electromagnetic spectrum (gamma, X-Rays, microwaves etc.) all require different frames of mind and emotions.

I just thought it was a cool concept and wanted to share it with y'all.

One of my favorite fairy tales as a child!💗💗💗

[ image: a drawing of a young Otto Octavius. He is sitting, turned to the sides with his hands in splayed out in front of him, an eerie, blank look on his face. one of his glasses lenses shows a wide, circular eye, the other a radioactive symbol. the background is an abstract drawing of a nuclear bomb blowing away a city, deep red and orange and black. Otto is colored in a paler orange, but his glasses are deep orange, his pupil and the symbol deep red. ]

Oh... Oh... I see the sky. It's becoming a very very bright red.

As above so below

“Men have had their say for a thousand years!” So take a ticket and get to the back of the queue.

A thousand years? Well, as a thirty something year old, that doesn’t mean much to me.

So now what?

Am I supposed to stand here holding a ticket, watching men and boys sink into the ground around me; to be neglected, mistreated, and killed?

Am I to sit patiently in the waiting room of life, as boys continue to fall behind, and drop out of school?

How far are we supposed to swing the pendulum - before enough is enough?

And when does ‘equality’, really become revenge?

If it is true, that “men have always had their say”, then why can’t we talk about these issues?

Why does discussion in this space, so often result in brittle rebukes of ‘misogyny’?

Why do academics researching male victims of domestic abuse, so often get death threats?

Why do attempts to open centres for men and boys often lead to picketing, and shrill cries for cancellation?

Why do well meaning attempts to post about these things result in shadow bans, deletion, and silliness in the dms?

Why do so many question, or hypothesise about my sexual history, with whines of ‘you sound like an Incel’ and ‘virgin!’

And It’s not just me.

So many of my followers message me about losing friends or family as a result of sharing my content, many more say they have been subjected to needless abuse and bullying too.

When we talk about ‘power and control’, the image many paint is a shady monolith of rich white men atop a high table, tightening a gag onto society.

But really, who is in the dm’s harassing you?

Who is standing, arms crossed, disapprovingly?

Who is whining, crying, and stomping their feet, hogging the lime light and holding the microphone?

Who is really controlling the conversation?

Is it time we talked about the cry bully playbook?

If you get to shout down and silence everybody else into focusing only on your stuff, or even make them self-censor out of wariness of saying anything at all, you're not marginalized or "oppressed," you're the ruling overclass. Who really has the privilege and power?

The people who have normalized silencing others, with no fear and no repercussions, are the privileged class.

Okay so on the Pokemon official site they mentioned that fuecoco bathes in the sun to collect fire energy in the big square scales. So I'm thinking that it maybe based partly on solar panels? 🤔

This actually is really nice to see. I've met a lot of people who fall for the homeopathic trap, you've got to be mega careful with this stuff.

Druidry is based on what we can assume from Ancient Druid traditions. Which includes the religions that were around at the time as well. Now here's a very important thing, we don't know much because the Druids would pass things down through oral tradition, and the Christianization of the Celtic nations caused it to die.

What we know about Ancient Druids: Druid was a job position and status, they did a lot of things like advise, heal, and mediate conflicts.

Modern Druidry is not Ancient Druidry. We literally cannot be like the ancient Druids because we don't know enough about them and we also aren't going to be advising kings that's just- not happening.

Modern Druidry, however, is based in what little we know. No one is claiming it is exact, and if they are, they are wrong.

What we know about the culture where the druids existed: Holidays, clothing, religion (thanks to some Christian priests who wrote myths down during the Christianization of the nations), legends and other mythology not relating directly to religion, the Fair folk (aka Fae).

With what we know about Ancient Druids, and what we know about the culture itself, we have attempted to combine into the religion/spirituality of Modern Druidry. We call ourselves Druids not because we are advisors to kings, but because we are honoring the Ancient Druids that were once spiritual leaders and important members of society. What we follow is hopefully something close to what Ancient Celts would have followed.

Why? For a lot of reasons, but let's just go with the simple answer "because we like it" just like with any damn religion.
