@ziphi the world's most useless mutant power - the ability for crows to communicate using the power of the mind instead of just yelling loudly.
@electrickeet see in order to successfully match Xavier's ability to draw on the power of Male Pattern Baldness, Magneto had to construct his own artificial smooth scalp.
@electrickeet the glorious sound of about 20 or something of the world's strongest MUTANTS clacking their SKULLS together

#subpost then from out of the gloom lumbered a hideous cross between Michael Jackson and Peter Jackson. The resulting music videos were catchy, danceable and sadly 3 hours long.
@frost then they're real boring looking monsters
longish
@chimerror okay SO various pagan communities at Pantheacon hit this a lot (Celtic especially for whatever reason); it's important to acknowledge that if you're upholding the ways of your pre-Abrahamic ancestors, to some extent you are making stuff up based on, hopefully, reasonable guesses (UPG = unsupported personal gnosis). Something humans do is constantly invent new religions and it's important here to state that just because something is not literally documented doesn't mean it can't have relevance and utility as a loosely-inspired thing now. That said it's a be-careful type thing. And there was gonna be more but eh...
gotta remember that I was pretty thoroughly trained that I was physically ugly, intellectually weak, and morally bad, as well as that nothing good happens next. Such that without specifics setting me off, this is still a constant uncomfy stew, a subjective filter and not a fun or helpful one. And it's therefore useful to consciously remember that things probably aren't as bleak as all that.

You know what I'd really like as Queer movies (caveat again, maybe this is out there)? Purely representational; characters are some flavor of Queer but their stories have nothing that especially NEEDS them to be Queer; they're simply Queer because people ARE sometimes.
See also "stories should have Blacks, Asians, and women, not because they're filling stereotypical comic, martial artist, or strong women roles, but because people ARE." Hell, maybe even someday there'll be stories where a character's Jewish because it happens sometimes.
Lots of random gunk, but some drawings and cooking talk too. Obsesses about DnD and related topics. Left-leaning/profoundly frustrated politics. Black lives matter; trans rights are human rights.
