@Swampwulf When I learned of its original use as a method to preserve nuts and seasonal fruits for a long time. I'm fascinated by traditional preservation methods.
Long planeswalkersona lore
So naturally they'd consider the idea of a lowly goblin possessing a spark as a waste of a precious resource. One that would be better off in someone worthy like the multiplanar fantasy equivalent of Elon Musk.
Long planeswalkersona lore
Because of course something as rare as a planeswalker spark would be considered an exploitable resource, one reserved for "the elite".
Still working on a name but I'd want folks of all mana colors in this group, depending on whom they consider "of merit".
☀️White: the noblest.
💧Blue: the smartest.
💀Black: the most ambitious.
🔥Red: the most passionate.
🌳Green: the strongest.
♾Colorless: the richest.
Long planeswalkersona lore
Been watching some MtG lore videos and I was struck at how transference of the planeswalker spark was a viable thing.
Pondering creating a villainous group for Ikko to oppose. One based on the twisted idea of the meritocracy: a group of 'walkers who take sparks and give them (read: sell them) to those whom they deem "worthy".
@Leucrotta Either is good. Though the lewds I'll have to interact with through my ~other~ account. 🐭💦
Long rant.
@Leucrotta I remember it always making me a bit uncomfortable how despite the father softening up to two of his daughters "disobeying", the movie in its own way says that this tyrannical, patriarchal family dynamic is OK, even endearing.
The disowning of the third daughter was just harrowing to watch every time. Eff this movie for trying to make it a heart-tugging moment without showing the painful depth of what being shunned by one's "family" is really like.
MtG, talk of "queerbaiting".
This article is really good:

Jace Beleren hate
All snark aside, my problem with Jace Beleren is that he is the MtG equivalent of the Ready Player One protagonist.
He is there to act as the stand-in for the stereotypically nerdy cishet men that MtG considers their audience. The fact that he's suffered no real repercussions for his loathsome actions (aside self-pity), waxes poetically about how terrible his life is despite being hailed by Azor (the lawfulest and goodest sphinx of all) as Ravnican Jesus and has a string of Hot Potential Girlfriends fawning over him every damn story is just more proof of his status as Ready Planeswalker One.
kinda maudlin thoughts about the late Sir Terry
@ComputerHusband I know what you mean. I have Umberto Eco's last novel, unopened, in my bookshelf as well.
@Mycroft Can you, like, put "Reverend" in front of your name with it?
