  • Yes, yes, it’s all a product. We get it.

    Is this what happens when the education budget is gutted? “Revelatory” notions that’d otherwise never make it past their split-moment of conception (ie. “hunh”), now get added to the cultural slop running underfoot? Picking through shite looking for gems, y’all are covered in it and no closer to sparkling clarity. Give us a smile for the cameras, piglet.

    To put a finer point on it: OG Quicksilver (don’t even get me started on the historic Marvel v DC handjobbery) ended up so “super powered” that his inborn celerity transcended the very laws of physics — having little to no frictional effect on the reality he was moving through. Thus, much like Jean Grey, Magneto, Legion, and a few others, his powers were not only beyond “super”, but recognized as equal parts boon and curse to the entire species. Thanks, 90s.










  • TBF, even in Dungeons & Dragons, there’s an ironic deficit of actual dungeons. Abattoirs, oubliettes, catacombs, sewers, and even a largely unmapped cavernous subterranean realm? Checkity check check, check. Dungeons? A handful at best in nearly half a century of content production. 🤷🏽‍♂️ (It’s almost like the racist, sexist, insular founding members were a loose group of multi-flavored trogs, give or take. 🤪)
