Wikipedia showed me an article on the mythical land of mu, which i'd heard of before, but never really read about.

A lost continent in the pacific ocean meant as the start of human civilization.

Most of it is ridiculous, but what I am struck by is that most of it is just about polynesia.

The location, legends, symbols, and so on, but does this 'theory' acknowledge that? Oh no of course not

See, lemurians were a 'superior white civilization' and polysenians are just savages that survived the cataclysm that sank the continent.

It appeared came about when some white explorer dudes found some old ruins and artifacts and mistraslated them to find something that better suited their racist brains.

And a bunch of white dudes since then have contributed to the lore.

I used to believe that bugs were little robots. Lots of people do, it’s the prevailing opinion next to “i’ve never thought about it”. Then I watched a mother wasp mourn her child. An animal who stretched after a nap and did little dances when her daughters returned from flight. Now she is opening her fourth capped hexagon and finding a pale white stillborn. She grasps the baby gently in her jaws and does not put it down for over 24 hours. Carries her loss, pacing back and forth the length of her enclosure. It is not the behavior of a robot.

So I think about the prior odds. Scenario A, bugs are robots. Why do I believe that? Because they are so tiny. Because if they are not robots then my world [where “insect exterminator” is a job title and I can buy a can of mass death at home depot] does not make sense. They must be insignificant.

The wasp makes me reconsider. Scenario B: her kind are like mine. cry when we are sad and happy when we play. Has this feature evolved many times? Or is it common to all the children of the precambrian worm? Every shark in the ocean swimming in their own feelings. Every bird and every cat knowing the thrill of being alive? The wasp made me realize that my whole moral picture is wrong. We’re not alone on this planet,

#the prevailing thepry is bee dances communicate info #i dont think thats all #they dance because they are happy to see each other #the info is communicated by antennae tapping #I think people hate wasps because they remind us that insects are not insignificant. #If I disrespect her I can be stung - she is no longer insignificant. #bug #interesting: tunicates are closer to human ancestry than arthropods. adult tunicates have secondarily lost concsness - baby tuni r lil worms #I love wasps. I love the caterpillars who are eaten by the wasps. I no longer see a contradiction. #(The contradiction is industrial humanity terraforming six continents in 400 years) #the contradiction is 100 billion living minds in cages #the problem (when humans treat humans like animals) is that humans treat animals like dirt to step on #5AM

Qibli the Sandwing

[Image Description: A digital drawing depicting Qibli from Wings of Fire. He is small wiry with a sail that flows downward to the side like it is hair, and a zig zag scar on his nose bridge. He is a dandelion yellow, with an off-white under belly that starts at his chin. Freckles are featured all over his body on his face, legs and tail. He also has tear duct markings that are similar to a cheetah. His sail and rattle is colored brown, with his eyes and tail barb being colored an even darker brown. He has orange yellow on his paws, snout, as a dorsal stripe marking and on the arms and fingers of his wings. The webs of his wings are a duller orange color. His horns and claws are an off-white that is lighter than his underbelly. He is standing with a grin on his face, with one eye winking, and an arm lifted to show the inner side of his claw, as though he is accentuating himself. In a second image, he is wearing a cowboy hat with his horns poking out that has a piece of sky fire embedded in, a neckerchief and a golden earring with a teardrop on his left ear. /.End ID]

First actually good birthday in those last years. I even drew Cricket in honour of it huh

ID: A digital picture of yellow-brown spotted dragon from Wings of fire book series - hivewing named Cricket. She smiles and sticks her tongue out in an amusing and cheerful expression. She peeks out of the yellow bouquet so only her talons, head and neck are visible. The background is a photo. End ID.

WAIT—

Fairy Tail x LCF crossover AU where Gildarts and Jour are cousins.

This is, of course, in an AU where both worlds are one and the same. Earth Land is the name of their world and Fiore and the other kingdoms/places are located in a southeast part of the Eastern continent that limits with a commonly known dangerous part of the ocean. So, people don't usually go there unless they're already in the Eastern continent— or they live there and, therefore, are just used to it.

Then, maybe, when Gildarts was young he and his family went on a trip to the Eastern continent but he somehow got lost and ended up in Fiore. And when he finally found his way back to his parents, they were already gone (I mean dead, they are dead. No, they didn't abandoned him). So he decided to go back to Fiore to that nice guild he stayed in before.

Many years later, one Cale Henituse (the original one, of course), appears at the guild's doors asking the girl working in the bar for "a redhead man around his forties, probably tall. I think his childhood nickname was Gil".

The loud "wait! Are you Gildarts' illegitimate child?" exclamation that Natsu let out shocked everyone so much that the ongoing fight on the background stopped dead. Elfman fell face to the ground. Levi almost ripped off her book. Gray almost tripped into Erza's cake. And Cana—

Cana choked with her beer. Does she have a sibling?

After a short explanation that let even more questions than before, she learned that no, she doesn't have a sibling (not as far as she knows, at least). She does, however, have a cousin and a lunatic running wearing her second uncle's body (wtf??? That's creepy).

Hearing the newbie's story (yes, he was one of them now. No, she did not ask), Mira called the Master, who called Gildarts, who told them that he would be there in a week.

Meanwhile, why don't they start with his tutoring? After all, they can't have a member that can't use magic, can they?

This is before TBOAH timeline goes south, btw. And it won't. Cale has an army of crazy, loud, bamf magicians by his side.

#yes og cale somehow learned about ws #and came to the conclusion that he's possessing his mom's older brother's body #And probably was behind her mom's family's sudden death #So he has declared him an absolute bastard and is searching for a way to unalive him #then decided to go to the eastern continent to investigate a hint or something #and he heard about a redhaired man with crazy magic and hreat alcohol tolerance #'Sounds like mom's long lost cousin' #and went to advertise him because who knows if the man has family right? #and to ask some things about his mom's family #but somehow he got trained and recluted by his uncle's guild in the week it took him coming back #fairy tail #fairy tail crossover #lcf crossover #fairy tail x lcf crossover #og cale henituse #original cale henituse #gildarts clive #cana alberona #does that mean that Cana is a thames too? #Yes that's exactly what it means

(Spoiler warning for books 11 and beyond) HiveWings: plothole or propaganda?

I have a theory. What if HiveWings aren’t really all descended from ClearSight? Clearly none of them have defining NightWing traits like NightWing powers, stars under their wings, or anything like that. This could just be due to the traits being bred out, but it’s a whole tribe, and they all have the same lack of obvious NightWing traits, despite being descended from a NightWing? No. Another problem with this idea is the lack of any major problems stemming from the horrific amount of incest that this would imply. So, what’s my theory?

Here’s what I think: when ClearSight arrived on Pantala, she saved both resident tribes- BeetleWings and LeafWings, from certain death. Everyone was impressed, and she was treated like a queen. Many of the BeetleWings disliked her though, and found her constant warnings to be condescending. They moved to the centre of the continent, the Savanna. The ClearSight supporters started to become more fond of black scales, like ClearSight’s, and yellow scales, like SunStreak’s. The offshoot tribe, meanwhile, hated this development and wanted nothing to do with it. They became the SilkWings, evolving separately. The BeetleWings kept growing as a tribe, and evolved into HiveWings. They wanted more power though, so they started spreading rumours that all HiveWings were descended from ClearSight, and put out propaganda depicting ClearSight as some kind of deity, watching over their futures from the past. A deity who looked a lot like a HiveWing.

ClearSight warned against all of this corruption in the book of ClearSight, but one of the earliest known HiveWing queens tore out those pages, rewriting the end to say that they were all her descendants. This also goes into why the bookbinding looked so wrong, as Hazel said.
