Can I join your England/Denmark group? I, too, am a delicious pastry. (Get it? Danish? I'll show myself out.) I have a lot of Viking blood as well. You can really tell by the aggressive way I eat corn chips. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaos he/him Posted April 15, 2017 Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 It only took me way too long but I finally reverse engineered a menu that I've always wanted the forums to have. I only stayed up way past my bedtime to figure it out. You'll see it soon, as well as a few more site updates very very soon. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkness Ascendant he/him Posted April 15, 2017 Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 Spent the day wandering Sydney cos my mum had a meeting at a hotel there, had to go to the hotel tho in the end so I spent the day reading really weird and old books in the hotel's small but strange library. That one was a *very* strange read. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Budgie she/her Posted April 15, 2017 Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 @Darkness Ascendant ...I'm asuming by 'magic' they mean belief...either that, or you may have stumbled into the secrect magical world that lies hidden inside our world and has been documented in a thousand slightly different ways by different books. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are people who do practice magic in the modern day; I know that Alan Moore and Grant Morrison, for instance, both fall into that category, though I don't know enough about their beliefs or about that stuff in general to comment on it. Basically, that book could, in fact, be talking about MAGIC, rather than magic being a synonym for something else. (Or it could be talking about the historical context of magical practices and how they related to political ideas, whether in the context of rulers being divine (like Egyptian Pharaohs) or representatives of such (as Christian kings were supposed to be). There's a lot of stuff that a book with that title could be talking about.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted April 15, 2017 Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 I'm in Children's today. ''Tis a strange place. The books are so small and they are so numerous. And the easy reader section is organized by some system that was probably not devised by human minds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up watching a lot more of the shows that aired on Cartoon Network rather than Disney Channel; we didn't have Disney for years, and by the time we did... That being said, there were shows on Disney I did like, including Recess (and Kim Possible); it's just that by then, I started feeling kind of self-conscious about watching them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkness Ascendant he/him Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 (edited) so the book talks about how (spoilered for sexual and strange metaphors) Spoiler The soul is a penis and death is castration And that magicians Spoiler Use blood/water etc which represent seminal fluid. And release magic and stuff and it's all weird and icky and disgusting. And magic is the castration of the power. I'm both glad and not glad I read it. Gave me some good ideas, but had to go through some harrowing experiences to get them Edited April 16, 2017 by Darkness Ascendant 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to get my mom to let my brother and me buy tickets to the one in DC, but we had something going on that day.

Not to mention that we get Jason Webley ("Pyramid," one of the best songs they've featured, in my opinion) to do the weather. This is gonna be fun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soyperson Posted April 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 Guys the show was amazing. Symphony Sanders high fived me. I got a t-shirt and a poster. No selfies with the cast, but plenty of good photos I'll try to upload by tomorrow. If you have the chance to go see this show, do it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, this is convincing I'm waiting for UK tickets to get released. Soon as they do, I'll be snagging a set and booking a week off of work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
