"Do you ever dream of land?" The whale asks the tuna.

"No." Says the tuna, "Do you?"

"I have never seen it." Says the whale, "but deep in my body, I remember it."

"Why do you care," says the tuna, "if you will never see it."

"There are bones in my body built to walk through the forests and the mountains." Says the whale.

"They will disappear." Says the tuna, "one day, your body will forget the forests and the mountains."

"Maybe I don't want to forget," Says the whale, "The forests were once my home."

"I have seen the forests." Whispers the salmon, almost to itself.

"Tell me what you have seen," says the whale.

"The forests spawned me." Says the salmon. "They sent me to the ocean to grow. When I am fat with the bounty of the ocean, I will bring it home."

"Why would the forests seek the bounty of the oceans?" Asks the whale. "They have bounty of their own."

"You forget," says the salmon, "That the oceans were once their home."

I am of the opinion that nuclear power is literally eldritch star magic and you cannot convince me otherwise.

It's what powers stars, for one.

It also is a result of literally tearing apart the fundamental building blocks of our world.

A relative little of it can cause city-ending, if not civilization-ending destruction. Weapons so powerful that the mere threat of one going off has kept nations from war.

Said explosions can literally vaporize people, and are so bright, they can blind you.

Areas left by this destruction are left uninhabitable for hundreds of thousands of years, bare minimum. "Cursed" almost, by powers that literally mutate your very DNA.

People who survived blasts from this power still die years later to this "curse".

It can be used to power homes.

There's an even more powerful version that alchemists- I mean scientists, sorry- have been searching for for years, that is both safer and more powerful, a "holy grail" of energy production.

Nuclear cores literally glow blue.

If this isn't arcane, I don't know what is.

(Not to mention the whole relation between the fae and nuclear isotopes, but that's an unrelated story that has already been told.)

It is our duty to spiritualize the periodic table

So it begins.

According to astronomy, wishes take thousands or even millions of years to arrive to the wishing stars. Today, wishes from people long past are starting to come true.

then as now, principal causes of disease & dirtiness were unaddressed poverty, not the inherent yuckiness of the culture at large

Okay but has anyone explained why they are lobsters???

Dragons are basically fish, when you get down to it.

There’s no such thing as fish. The word doesn’t have any taxonomic meaning. It’s a word we’ve used to describe everything from hagfish to goldfish, even though a coelacanth is more closely related to a camel than a salmon. But because they inhabit the same ecological niche of “vertebrate animal with gills and fins,” we call them all fish.

Likewise, there’s no such thing as dragons. We call anything that fills the mytho-ecological niche of “dangerous animal that blocks the way” a dragon. And that’s why any kind of argument of what does and doesn’t count as a dragon is moot — wyverns are dragons just as much as a jabberwock or a jaculus or a tatzelwurm, not because they’re closely related in a biological clade but because they fill a narrative niche.

Dragons are also lobsters, but that’s for unrelated reasons.
