It's hilarious how '60s Roman movie naval battles used fireworks to stand in for ballistas and catapults in wide shots. Like, ah yes, the famous Roman invention, the Hwacha.

Scene from Ben Hur. Several galleys fighting. Glowing rockets are flying overheadScene from Cleopatra. Three galleys with rockets streaming smoke flying towards them

Just saw Knights of Guinevere Ep 2 and oof, I can see why they said this would make a lot of people drop the series. There are graphic, explicit and completely uncensored depictions of mahjong.

If you went to Thebes and the blind seer was a mousegirl you could ask for a prophecy and she would balance a tablet of baleful signs on her head and say "for you, it's on the mouse"

I'm a little worried about Epic fans seeing my odyssey fiction because Epic Polites is like "I know that you're tired of the war and bloodshed/Tell me, is this how we're supposed to live?" but mine will be more "WE SLAUGHTER THEM IN THEIR BEDS LIKE PIGS, MAKE A HECATOMB OF MEN"

while it's not what i'd call a "hard worldbuilding" series (something w/ vast internal wikis overseen by a small army of interns), the Locked Tomb has one of the most thoughtful approaches to pop-fantasy necromancy, and i can use it to make a watsonian argument against gelatin being a necromedium.

We just had fantasy firearms discourse so let's bring back all the hits. I feel like people use the term "necromancy" as if it isn't rooted in mythological concepts and linguistic roots. Necromancy is not a carte blanche "make dead stuff move" it has an actual concept to what it's doing.

A twitter repost - the original image is "gelatin before" with a picture of bones being ground up, the second picture is "gelatin after" with an image of gummy bears. The quote tweet asks "could a necromancer control gummy candies?"

‘We would love it if we could get the attention of people like Stephanie Meyer that would kind of be like, ‘Oh, you know what, maybe I should have done that. Maybe I should use my money to put it back to some people that I should have consulted with, I should have talked with’ Based

"Twilight fans are trying to rectify the lack of financial compensation by raising funds for the Quileute Tribe’s Move to Higher Ground Project through varied creative means." A sweet story about how a shitposting FB Twilight fan group is doing some good.
