damn The Lion in Winter (1968) really is thee film of all time. it's a 12th century historical epic. it's a dramedy about going home for Christmas and getting into fights with your family. it's gay. it's homophobic. everyone loves each other. everyone's trying to kill/imprison each other. Katharine Hepburn talks about wearing a gold chain from her nipples. she won an academy award for it. one of the most devious characters is just called Jeff™. Genuinely peak holiday viewing

We've Made Changing Your Mind Look Like a Flaw Instead of a Virtue

The internet has taught people to archive your opinions and weaponize your growth. If you evolve, you're a flip-flopper. If you admit uncertainty, you're weak. If you take time to rethink, you're stalling.

So people fake certainty to avoid punishment.

Intellectual honesty, though, requires change. If your views haven't changed in ten years, that says less about your clarity than it says about your lack of reflection.

Apparently a lot of people get dialogue punctuation wrong despite having an otherwise solid grasp of grammar, possibly because they’re used to writing essays rather than prose. I don’t wanna be the asshole who complains about writing errors and then doesn’t offer to help, so here are the basics summarized as simply as I could manage on my phone (“dialogue tag” just refers to phrases like “he said,” “she whispered,” “they asked”):

“For most dialogue, use a comma after the sentence and don’t capitalize the next word after the quotation mark,” she said.

“But what if you’re using a question mark rather than a period?��� they asked.

“When using a dialogue tag, you never capitalize the word after the quotation mark unless it’s a proper noun!” she snapped.

“When breaking up a single sentence with a dialogue tag,” she said, “use commas.”

“This is a single sentence,” she said. “Now, this is a second stand-alone sentence, so there’s no comma after ‘she said.’”

“There’s no dialogue tag after this sentence, so end it with a period rather than a comma.” She frowned, suddenly concerned that the entire post was as unasked for as it was sanctimonious.

Wow this took me a long time to finish...

I had been meaning to get this done for so long, but I put it off for so long that I essentially forgot about it. But now, I've finally motivated myself to finish this up!

This is some fanart I made for The Golden Palm, a Tintin fanstory by @aboardthescheherazade and @professorcalculusstanaccount. To be honest, it's such a fun idea seeing Tintin crossdress for a mission. Not only are the art and animations spectacular, it also gave me some inspiration to brainstorm potential drag disguises for Tintin.

The possibilities for potential feminine disguises for Tintin are endless, and that's something I hope to explore in future fanarts soon.

And it was also fun getting to design these as art deco-style film posters. I wanted to take a sort of Great Gatsby approach in designing the posters. I even played around with filters and colors to give them a vintage feel.

Anyways, hope you like them!

whos the most wretched no good scoundrel wizard of each century and which one would win in a fight

CLASSICAL ANTIQUITY BRACKET: A lot of ancient sources are poorly dated, so I tried to pick the most conclusive numbers I could. Like half of these guys might not have existed at all.

1st century - Atomus, Cypriot magician mentioned in Antiquities of The Jews. According to Josephus, he was the magician that Antonius Felix hired to cast some sort of love spell.

2nd century - Apsethus the Lybian. Mentioned in Refutation of All Heresies. Told people he was god. Trained parrots to say "Apsethus is God." Died when the Lybians burned him alive.

3rd century - Zosimos of Panopolis. Notably had an arch-rival, another alchemist named Nilos.

4th century - St. Cyprian the Magician. Probably didn't exist. Supposedly sent demons to torture people.

5th century - Hypatia. Not a wizard per se but was lynched by Christians for being a pagan philosopher and I think that should count for something.

MEDIEVAL BRACKET: Very little concrete information survives from this era. A lot of the people on this list are only here because they are the only person from their century who could reasonably be called an occultist.

6th century - We are hitting the dark ages its hard to name people from this period. I can't name an occultist who was conclusively alive in this period, its a bit of a gap.

7th century - Maybe Khalid ibn Yazid but its very possible that the alchemical works attributed to him are done falsely.

8th century - Jabir ibn Hayyan, but he was multiple people writing alchemical doxography under one name.

9th century - Abu Bakr al-Razi. But lets be real he was barely an occultist he was more like a science teacher who happened to be alive in the 9th century. His work is pretty anti-esoteric.

10th century - Ibn Umayl. One of the only people alive in the 10th century who could be called an occultist.

11th century - Al Tughrai. Same difference. Also translated Zoismos.

12th century - Sir Michael Scott. The Scottish mathematician and alchemist.

13th century - Roger Bacon. Only gets the spot because I think he could beat up Albertus Magnus and Pietro D'abano who were both weak as fuck monks.

14th century - Nicholas Flamel. Weak as fuck scribe but most of the other occultists in this century were burned at the stake.

RENAISSANCE BRACKET - Lots more to choose from here, but we are still in weak as fuck monk territory.

15th century - Paracelsus. Infamously feisty, and could definitely kick Johannes Trithemius's ass.

16th century - Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa. Was literally a mercenary who fought in wars. Uncontested winner of his century.

ENLIGHTENMENT BRACKET - Way way way way more to choose from here. Newton is a wildcard for this era but I decided to chose more solid picks.

17th century - Jacob Bruce. Was a general for Peter the Great. Could definitely beat Fludd and Ashmole in a fight.

18th century - Count of St. Germain. Very little real information about him, but I suspect he is scrappy enough to beat Swedenborg.

19th century - Grigori Rasputin. Legendarily difficult to kill.

MODERNITY BRACKET

20th century - Rudolph Hess. Nazi occultist who worked out and took a lot of amphetamines.

21st century - Genesis P-Orridge. I have no doubt they could take Jodorowsky.

FINAL VERDICT

In my mind its a toss up between Agrippa, Hess, and Rasputin. Hess was trained in combat, but he's nervous and flighty. Rasputin was infamously difficult to kill, but I don't know how good his offense would be. Agrippa was also trained in combat, and was famously scrappy and clever, but is the weakest physical specimen of the three.

I think ultimately, given his sheer record of indestructibility, Rasputin takes the whole cake.
