Yet another miniature finished, and this one is the smallest scale yet! It’s a bookshelf alleyway! You place the box between your books and it looks like there’s a whole tiny world between them
There’s floating islands, glowing water, a skylight, everything!
(And here’s a few in the total dark)
Any and all tinies are welcome to visit!

"Even more dangerous than ignorance, however, is a fallacious certitude, which can afflict people at all educational levels and all IQ levels. While we may not see our own fallacies, the saving grace in this situation is taht we can often see other people's fallacies much more clearly - and they can see ours. In a world of inevitably fallible human beings, with inevitably different viewpoints and different fragments of consequential knowledge, our ability to correct each other can be essential to preventing our making fatally dangerous mistakes as individuals, or as a society."
-- Thomas Sowell

The treatment of illusion/manipulation powers in fiction
Something that will always annoy me in fiction where magic/powers are present is how demonized illusion/manipulation magic/power is as the norm. They're often in the top of abilities a writer will select from to create a diversified group of villains or simply to clearly identify to the audience that a character is a bad guy.
I mean, might be me who is only remembering the villains harnessing that kind of powers. Maybe I'm completely wrong.
But I do find it to be some weird trend.
In HxH's (2011) anime, I have a hard time remembering a (notable) Manipulator that wasn't a bad guy.
In Fairy Tail, Macbeth and Meredy who respectively have illusion and emotional manipulation magic started as ennemies. And really dangerous ones at that as they were member of two of the most powerful dark guilds of the kingdom.
In My Hero Academia, Shinso was bullied for having a "villain's" quirk.
And that one particularly infuriates me because, if we had powers or magic in the real word like in MHA, the people harnessing them would be extremely helpful in society. Just, imagine the number of hostage situations they could quickly, and safely, resolve; the way they could easily force civilians to calm down and follow the directions to safety during a natural disaster; how useful and in demand they would be by emergency hotlines.
How is that a "villain-only" power ?!
Sure, it could be used to do evil thing, but virtually all powers can. Even healing ones (cough Redo of the Healer cough).
So, it really pisses me off how these powers really constantly gets demonized as if they only had evil uses.
