Similar to neverland second star to the right and then straight on till morning.
#dnd often quantifies the concept of “belief” power similar to how KoED can be read, or Poul Anderson’s “the broken sword”. In the latter the Aesir and fey are dying off due to baptisms and allegiance to the White Christ.
And imagination can be an uplifting dream (the titular “daughter”of the king of elfland) or dangerous nightmare (the changeling kin slayer in “the broken sword”). Same as how Peter Pan seems a romantic figure yet laughs at how the mermaids threaten to murd3r Wendy.
I think Dunsanny &d1sney captured this tension perfectly. #dnd may quantify “belief” power in way that seems a bit simplified. But we can’t deny the invisible world exists &sometimes reflects in our imagination. Let ur mind wander 2 elfland but 🐝 careful &keep ur rosary in hand
The last proper Star Trek TOS film uses the Peter Pan like thus confirming my theory that outerspace was simply a new elfland hollywood was crafting for us. A bleak sad one with no Christian influence (the opposite in fact)

Tonight I have a new Traveller character named Beat Takeshi. Fresh out of mustering out of the merchants he’s got a katana, daggers, and a Honda civic. He will find men of honor to join his crew on this new weird planet. #moonstein #brosr 1/
Gm Jeffro has noprep rolled up our starting planet as 10s of billions of people. This is now a city #Braunstein
There’s a thousand stories in this space city and I’m just the man to bring it honor! #moonstein #brosr 2/
High law (no visible weapons allowed) and 1 tech. Underground planet hollowed out. Alien warren world of caves and cities up top. Let’s do some morality plays of the haves and have nots! #moonstein #brosr 3/
Dune Part 2 is an astonishing achievement in filmmaking that is ruined by the worst female love interest that has ever been put to screen. 1/
The cinematography and action proves you can lean hard on cgi and still do amazing things. The arena/fight scene on Gedi Prime with washed out b&w and casual brutality is one of the most disconcerting things I’ve ever seen; and effectively sets up the alpha bad guy 2/
Even more than Lynch’s film, the fremen were effectively depicted as superhuman t4liban as Herbert imagined they must have been keeping the soviets out of Afghanistan. Probably bc we’ve since gotten rolled post 9/11 trying the same thing. 3/
Goodman Games:
>remove all the male/female pronouns from your Dcc book to please tbe hard left
>hard left attacks you in the replies for only having white men in your panel
Was it worth it? #brosr #inlivingcolor
Happy secular non-denominational holiday season! “It’s a Wonderful Life” is a wonderful film that was an early entry in the psyop to make modern men unhappy in their lot. Its major psyop was fully revealed in “The Shining” and fully established in “Tomorrow War”. 1/
The defining characteristic of George is he wants to travel. Back then you couldn’t have your hero be a full on post-modernist orc who doesn’t value family etc.
So “wants to see the world” was the best you could do for your hero 2/
So the film turns it into more of a lark that he doesn’t want to be like his father. During the course of the film he has self loathing because he’s forced to be like his father bc of circumstances and duty. Modernists hate their dads, we see it all the time these days right? 3/
Had actual conversations with @VassalOfChrist and others in March of 2020 where I said “so they’ll rush out this poisonous v4ccine and…”
I had to deal with “right wing” dorks getting mad at me saying stuff like “bro if trump oversaw the v44x its fine! If we don’t get behind it he’ll lose the election!”
Many Gen Z prob have subconscious hate for parents due to all their aborted bros and sisters
Then there’s the extra metaphysical humiliation of making Junior parrot your reasoning. “Oh it’s my moms body her choice,” he says with a metaphorical gun (mom’s conditional love) to his head.
Survivors’ guilt knowing he made it past assassin mom when his big bro didn’t bc mom wasn’t ready to settle down yet.
