“The dying-and-rising son (sometimes daughter) of god 'mytheme' originated in the ancient Near East over a thousand years before Christianity, and was spread across the Mediterranean... the earliest documented examples are the cult of lanna and Dumuzi, the cult of Baal and Anat, and the cult of Marduk, all of whose resurrection stories are told in Sumerian, Ugaritic and Assyrian tablets long predating the advent of Christianity.“

-- Richard Carrier

How Gender Activists Defaced Pediatric Medicine: An Interview with Miriam Grossman, MD

Dr Miriam Grossman is one of the few brave voices to speak up and fight against the Transgender Cult; an Occult belief system, shamefully passed off as Science. It's been working more like Gay Conversion Therapy, with most girls being Autistic and many of these children, suffering from bullying, internalized Homophobia, and past sexual trauma.

Yet another heartbreaking passage brought to you by Mr Stroud

[resinfossil]

Bartimaeus Sequence headcanons

Faquarl is extremely touch-starved. Someone please give this poor djinni a hug.

Queezle is fifth-level. I don't have much evidence to back this up, I just get the feeling that her power level is somewhere between Bart's and Faquarl's, closer to Bart than to Faquarl. The little evidence I do have amounts to "Bartimaeus seems to be most likely to befriend humans and spirits who are stronger than him"

Most if not all of the protagonists are autistic. Yes, including Bartimaeus. (More on this in a later post)

Ptolemy has a protective streak of his own, we just don't get to see that much of it in canon because he also knows damn well that his djinn are all far more qualified to handle physical threats than he is

Ptolemy has low empathy (for humans at least). Yes he's compassionate, but empathy is not the same thing as compassion and he is absolutely terrible at predicting how people will react to things.

Bartimaeus has ADHD. Let's be real here, do I even need to explain my reasoning for this? If you went up to someone who'd interacted with him for any significant length of time and you so much as told them what ADHD stands for, I bet they would immediately think of Bartimaeus. (Also, "energetic but unreliable" is totally magician-speak for "has potential but doesn't apply himself")

Bartimaeus was friends with Asmoral and Ianna. We all know he'll get attached to just about anyone who's willing to get attached to him, and we also know Asmoral and Ianna were at least willing to bond with each other. Plus he mentioned them both by name in that one footnote, so he probably knew them personally rather than just hearing about what happened afterwards.

When Bartimaeus is talking about something emotionally painful and he picks at his nails or shrugs his shoulders, he's not actually doing it to seem aloof. It's a handy side effect, sure, but that's not why he's doing it. The real reason he does it is because he's learned that having a physical distraction helps a lot when you're trying not to cry.

So I had fallen in with a criminal—I’d trafficked with them before, on my master’s behalf in Ianna-Ir.

gang, something awful is happening in vreverie

visual depiction of the talents they had and the talents they lost. 6/8 talents gone in the span of 2 months. 75% of their talent base. graduated.

something awful has to be happening behind the scenes. they’ve lost all of oddysey. catalyst is down to 1. poor salmon lordette is on her own.

if you think about it for one second. just for one second. what reason could there be for such quick back-to-back graduations? they had gen 3 auditions up months ago and the only talent that came out of it was salmon. a one-talent generation. gen 2.5.

could it be because they got no auditions? but that’s impossible, cheri’s popularity was helping them rise quicker than they probably intended. could it be because they’re picky about their talents? maybe. because people got to the interview stage and noped out? likely.

vreverie shot to fame quicker than they planned for and now they’re paying the price. something horrible is happening with their management behind the webcams. and nobody’s talking about it

I’ve mentioned before, I’m making a folklore book for my baby nibling and of course we want a multi-regional book of folklore so I am desperately trying and failing to find a Mesopotamian myth where sex isn’t too important a plot point
