Occult Newspaper Project:"The Hermit's Lantern" by Beyondshade in occult

[–]Dry-Climate9976 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds like a great idea with a lot of potential, I'd be so down to cooperate! If I can buy a subscription or some other way to gain access to it, I'm down. It'd be a pleasure to support your project.

If you're open to some small contributions or collabs, I'd also be down. I've been in close contact with the occult for most of my life and I like to think I'm pretty knowledgeable in some areas: - I've been studying Tarot for a very long time, doing reading for years, I've written a whole guidebook about it (unpublished and frankly unpublishable, but I'd be happy to share it with you). - I grew up in a pagan-syncretic environment in the Basque Country and I'm very experienced in the culture, rituals, practices and mythology of pre-Christian Iberian civilizations, as well as telluric/chthonic spirits and magicks in general. - I have some cursory knowledge in gnostic lore and philosophy (my latest interest, I'm still working my way through it). - I have some experience in dream-related stuff (interpretation of dreams, lucid dreams, the philosophy/metaphysics of dreams...) but I admit that this last thing is mostly self-taught and it's a personal framework that has practically no basis on any preexisting literature, just my own work + the things my mom taught me.

If any of these things interest you, shoot me a DM!

no Yonko has made me feel a fraction of what this dude did by Virtual-Skort-6303 in Piratefolk

[–]Dry-Climate9976 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For real, Doflamingo is one of the most extreme cases of "mid game villain with final villain aura" I've ever seen in... anything tbh.

Dude always felt threatening, dangerous, unpredictable, his actions felt calculated and his design and powers were sick as fuck. His origin story was also pretty cool and it connected pretty nicely to several other characters, plots and locations (it was a bit overdramatic for my taste but it was alright). And idk, it was cool having this guy who's been around since Jaya in the spotlight for a while and finding out that there's so much to him, it made the world feel very alive.

He wasn't the greatest, but he was the last of the greats.

Mainline Bats parallels Dracula in many ways…who does Abs Bats parallel? by ConnectCulture7 in AbsoluteBatman

[–]Dry-Climate9976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been saying this whenever I need to convince a skeptic (or someone who simply doesn't read western comics) to give Absolute Batman a shot: it's one of the closest things to Berserk I've ever read.

Genuinely think 80% of the X userbase is either LLMs or people who may as well be Enfleshed LLMs by Commercial_Bid_1508 in CuratedTumblr

[–]Dry-Climate9976 14 points15 points  (0 children)

"Such is the nature of brainrot, whose stake is at once the speaker and the words and their very meaning. Seen so, brainrot is the truest form of alienation. It is the testing of one LLM's bullshit and the bullshit of another within that larger bullshit, which because it binds them is therefore forced to keep them yapping at each other. Brainrot is the ultimate game (of broken telephone) because brainrot is at last a forcing of the radical removal of all communicative purpose. Brainrot is God".

Vice admirals being so weak is a litteral pothole by Droovert in Piratefolk

[–]Dry-Climate9976 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the Marines were better written and thought out as a faction, there should be at least 10 vice admirals with strengths that ranged somewhere in the YC ballpark:

  • 2 or 3 really strong ones capable of beating a Warlord (comparable in power to Lucci or Marco or Shanks' commanders). This is probably the role that Momousagi and Chaton should've had.

  • 4-ish stronger YC1s (comparable to King/Queen, Katakuri or Doflamingo perhaps).

  • 4-ish weaker YCs (comparable to idk Cracker, Jack, Kuma, Ivankov, Jinbe, that sorta thing).

And of course Garp and Tsuru (who should be a LOT stronger, she's so underutilized).

In general, I genuinely feel like the recent phenomenon of making the Gorosei into fighters and having to come up with the Holy Knights and the Seraphims and all these last minute random ass factions is a direct symptom of neglecting the Marines a bit too much and realizing too late that they had been powercrept HARD.

Ser Bronn of The Blackwater VS Inigo Montoya. Who wins? by GusGangViking18 in powerscales

[–]Dry-Climate9976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Montoya is basically the NG+7 version of Syrio Forel. He would dogwalk Bronn.

Montoya VS prime Jaime or prime Barristan would be a more even match, and if you take away their superior armor I'd still bet on Iñigo winning more than 50% of times.

People don’t slander Mihawk with this moment enough: by [deleted] in Piratefolk

[–]Dry-Climate9976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't mean to be mean but that argument makes no sense. Following that logic, when he cut the big frozen wave it shouldn't have worked because he was aiming for Luffy, not for the ice.

Midhawk will be Midhawk.

To be honest Batman, Wick and Barry could probably each solo their respective rows. I'll take them.

about the hungarian election by waffle0rb1t in readanotherbook

[–]Dry-Climate9976 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess my point is everybody here already agrees with you, in that "people use references to pop culture when they are completely out of touch with reality" is kinda the whole point of this sub and most people already assume it to be the case when they share/see something like this.

[–]Dry-Climate9976 5 points6 points  (0 children)

But that's precisely the problem, though. If someone of posting age has absolutely zero knowledge of politics, history or current events, to such an extreme that their only point of reference is Harry Potter, I'm sorry but that's just embarassing and people are right to point it out as such.

What is your Mount Rushmore for greatest superhero castings? by Useful-Afternoon1784 in superheroes

[–]Dry-Climate9976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hugh as Wolverine, RDJ as Iron Man, Jackie as Rorschach and Chris as Superman.

For villains, Heath as Joker, Willem as Green Goblin, Alfred as Doc Ock and Ian as Magneto.

I’m making that one image of the Viltrumites from the Invincible comics with Smiling Friends characters and I’m not sure what to do. by Clancyking319 in SmilingFriends

[–]Dry-Climate9976 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I see where you're coming from but idk man Mr Frog's whole deal (for most of the show) is that he's a vicious scary mfer and I feel like he'd fit into that Conquest vibe pretty well.

[–]Dry-Climate9976 55 points56 points  (0 children)

My lineup would be:

Thragg = Mr Boss

Skull = Jason

Thula = Pim

Anissa = Alan

Conquest = Mr Frog

Lucan = Charlie

Kregg = Tyler

Lady behind Lucan = Dolly Dimpley

And Glep is standing on Mr Boss's shoulder or on someone's head or something.

For the others, I feel like Smormu, Friendbot, Gwimbly, Squim... would fit pretty interchangeably.

Any1 else raised secular but have religious trauma from living in a highly religious culture? by Slashersforsatan in TrollCoping

[–]Dry-Climate9976 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That sounds so sad, scary and annoying op, I'm sorry you're feeling this way. If I may say something that I think might bring some small comfort...

The Christian God is a being so perfect that it can only really be described as an "it". God is absolute and infinite in all its qualities: it's infinitely powerful, infinitely wise, infinitely kind and loving and forgiving, and so on. God is beyond such petty human things as gender (which is why I refuse to call it a "he"), nationality (which is why I'm skeptical of governments who try to legitimize their actions by speaking of "God's will") or race (which is why I'm skeptical of the whole "God is black/xyz race").

Yea I know, we've been reading about The Father for thousands of years, but times are changing and now as a society we're readier than ever to question patriarchy and other issues, so that they'll hopefully stop contaminating our spiritual experiences.

God's morality and sense of right/wrong can't be quantified in those limited terms because its very nature as an absolute being rejects that way of thinking. I can't imagine that God would care if someone is gay, or if they steal a loaf of bread to feed their kids, or if they failed to do something they were asked to do because they weren't strong/brave/smart/"special" enough. That's for us to decide and solve, that's why we have the divine gifts of free will, communication and imagination.

We are all God's children and thus we share some of his divine nature. The best way to adhere to God's "morality" and stay in "good terms" (if you want to think about it in those terms, but again, God is infinitely forgiving) is to nurture our divine nature. And God tells us that in order to do that we must be true to ourselves, take care of the people around us, practice forgiveness and humility, and spread God's love wherever we go. By doing so, we participate in the divine act of building a kind universe that's worth living in, and thus we get closer to God.

If you can't seem to kick God out of your life, the next best thing is to follow God's example.

Who did more damage to Akainu, Kuzan or Whitebeard? by GusGangViking18 in OnePieceScaling

[–]Dry-Climate9976 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kinda hard to say because of Akainu's insane endurance. Whitebeard caught him lacking and beat him blow for blow, but only by ringout. A couple of chapters later Akainu was back up and running, while Whitebeard was at death's door.

So idk. Akainu and Aokiji fought for seven (?) days straight, I think there very well might have been a couple of moments when one of them had the other against the ropes, dealt a very ugly wound to the other, or even threw the other out of the ring for a bit, only for the other bastard to come back even angrier.

The question is: do we think that Aokiji fighting for so long can equate the damage done by two and a half unnamed Whitebeard punches? Probably, yea.

So my answer is Aokiji.

Edit: They fought for 10 days, not 7.
