Are pelagornithids descendents of Ichthyornis redux

Diagram by corvarts.

This is basically a redux of a previous suggestion of mine. With the paper on Janavis I think it’s only a matter of time until this is confirmed.

Phyrexia and political ideologies

<figure></figure>

Elesh Norn, proving religious fanaticism can be campy.

Phyrexia is by far one of the most interesting creations of Magic: The Gathering. A civilization of evil transhuman cyborgs is nothing new, but they’re magical evil transhuman cyborgs, and art and flavor across nearly three decades of existence have definitely sold them as one of th...

Brainstorming MTG angel world

Yes, I know Elysium exists, and I also want something distinct from it. I've been thinking about this for a long time, and hints of it can be seen in the story Trouble in Paradise.

Ontology

Heaven draws heavily from Paradiso, albeit with just five locations instead of all the planets, focusing on a Magic take on the four cardinal virtues. With the exception ...

Echo Fanfic: Christmas Megaparty

To TJ, Christmas ws as natural as the snow capped mountains of his home, and the act of prayer itself. He had long celebrated with cozily with his parents in Echo and in Wasatchua, with uncles and aunts of all kinds. Sometimes, he'd invite his friends over, but more often than not they had their own parties going, even as maturity weaned them from their parents.

Not today, though.

Sure, he and his parents were in the same house, as was his beloved Sydney. But the latter insisted i...

Is His Dark Materials Gnostic?

<figure></figure>

Maybe if Metatron has a lion head people would like him more.

His Dark Materials is often brought into the fold of “Gnostic” or “Gnostic-inspired” modern works, as the likes of The Matrix and Don’t Hug me I’m Scared. Putting aside that Gnosticism is increasingly seen with skepticism by academics as an umbrella term for wildly dispa...

His Dark Materials and MTG

<figure></figure>

Hey, I’m no professional card designer.

To complement my review, I decided to blend my love of both HDM and MTG. Both series are surprisingly congruent with each other, both featuring a multiverse focused around a magical substance aligned with philosophy and sapi...

His Dark Materials: a review

<figure></figure>

(Note: as the series hasn't done airing in some places, do not read this because I'm not holding back on spoilers)

So, after three years since season one airing and Covid-related shenigans, the tv series adaptation of His Dark Materials has finally concluded. The books were a stapple of my childhood and I dare say were formative for the person I'd become, so o...

Upturned

Farewell, sinking ship.

We were riding on the waves

And I thought you my other half.

As you say, "no,

That wasn't an epic bond,

You had me in tears

Seeing was facing my fears

So how could you?

How could you?"

I put my head in the water,

A dozen times in fact,

And it doesn't get warmer,

Just bubbling final breaths.

So this is it.

Your wings turn away.

Bedridden

In homage of the new Repeat build. First Owen/Phillip fic too I believe

***

Phillip hissed at the morning light.

His head felt feverish. Granted, it wasn't an alien feeling what with his messy sleep schedule, but this time he felt he might have pushed his limits.

He tried getting up, but a pair of gentle hands stopped him.

"Wow there" Owen said, "You're burning up. Better if you don't stress yourself, okay?"

Phillip wanted to protest, but he did feel like t...

Safety

Sydney and TJ represented safety to one another.

For Sydney, TJ represented the safety of of a hug to cry on, where the macho otter went to die. Someone who loved him unconditionally, where his family and even sometimes their mutual friends (barring Flynn, ever loyal) failed to love. He could write him poems, he could be gentle. Even a wrestler needs solace from muscle aches, even a pirate needs a land to shore.

For TJ, Sydney represented the safety to explore. A controlled enviro...

Carltober: Friends Best Friends

B is for band, the one thing every teen wants to try but we never got the time and I owe to dysfunction

E is for energy, the anxiety in my mind calmed by marijuana clouds, oh now I can get by.

S is for sun, the daystar demon making me and the bros sweaty (how awkward)

T is for talent, which I don't have but my mates tell me I do (how sweet!)

F is for fuck-up, but at least they pull me up when I'm down

R is for slurrs when we were edgy teens but Chase makes me gui...

Carltober: Sadness

Chase might have been the "otters love water" kind of guy, but Carl also connected the dots of sadness to the ever-giving liquid.

He thought of clouds, of azure depths, even though both things were rare in the desert. Lake Emma could be the reason, given how much misery it had given him and his friends.

He cried to himself, every once when he found himself short on weed.

He cried to himself, seeing everyone go for better pastures elsewhere.

He cried to himself, as even...

Carltober: Carl x Jeremy

Carl woke up first.

Jeremy's musk welcomed his nostrils. It started off arousing him at first, but it now was a symbol of comfort. Guess now he new how all his friends dating otters felt like.

How did it come to this? How did a bully, turned drug-dealer, became the best thing in his life?

The journey was like his brain trying to wake up: a slow series of steps, from a shared joint, to shared problems, to saving each other during a hysteria, t...

Carltober: Sans + Super Wolf

Flynn sighed.

"What the hell is going on now?" he said, tired mroe than anything.

Carl was like Hela from Norse mythology, except on one side he was a skeleton with a blue eye and hoodie and on the other a wolf in a superhero costume.

"Isn't it cool?" Carl said.

"No."

They still cuddled.
