I wouldn't call myself an expert, but I made some notes to process some observations of feathered wings and thought I'd share. If it's useful to you too, I'd be glad. Not intended to be scientific or precise so take it with a grain of salt!

I'm reading Joseph Dan's article on teraphim and ran into this evocative quote about the memory of the dead attributed to Rabbi Eleazar of Worms (quoted by Dan from R. Johanan Alemano's Shaar ha-Heshek, a "kabbalistic, philosophical, and demonological compilation."

"And so wrote Rabbi Eleazar of Worms, in these words: Most of the dead [keep thinking] the same thought that they had in the moment the soul left the body"

People really need to fucking re-learn the difference between "I don't like this" and "This is harmful". Not liking a thing is fine, but you don't get to dictate what others enjoy, actually. Especially not within fiction. Be an adult. If you don't like something, move on.
