Al-Razi: Islam’s Favorite Heretic

Many centuries ago, in the heart of one of Islam’s great empires, there lived a man who openly questioned the foundations of the Islamic faith. He outraged religious thinkers of his time, he mocked sacred scriptures, rejected religious authority, even denied the prophethood of Muhammad himself.

If he were alive today, he would be condemned as a heretic, maybe even an apostate. He would risk professional ruin, social dishonor and exile, even mob violence. In some countries, his views would lend him a sentence of death.

And yet, in his time, this man lived a long and happy life, greatly respected. What’s more, today he is celebrated all over the Muslim world, his heresies forgotten.

This is the secret history of Abu Bakr Al-Razi - the Physician.

Al-Razi was born in the 9th century, in the city of Rayy, located in what is now Iran. A curious and analytical thinker, al-Razi’s exceptional medical talents quickly won him respect and renown.

He was the first to distinguish between smallpox and measles; and the first to write a medical manual for the home. A practitioner and a teacher, his lectures attracted scores of eager learners.

And he wrote mountains of books -- over 200 -- including the 23-volume Comprehensive Book of Medicine which was studied around the world for centuries, and what was perhaps the very first book on Pediatrics.

A superb and innovative clinician, Razi reasoned into practices that would become standard today, like keeping detailed documentation of characteristics and treatment of hospital patients (a form of today’s case records), and using a control group in an experiment.

Razi also had an intuitive understanding of the role of hygiene and the environment in health. It is said that when it came time to build a new hospital in Baghdad, Razi was asked to choose the location. He had fresh meat hung throughout the city. A few days later, Razi returned to check each location, and decided that the hospital should be placed where the meat had putrefied the least.

Confident in his skills, Razi wasn’t afraid to provoke.

He authored a critique of Greek masters such as Galen at a time where orthodoxy was the rule and such authorities were to be studied with submissive reverence, not challenged.

But al-Razi was not a believer in the untouchability of “authorities” - he was instead, a believer in human reason. Thus, to Razi even giants like Galen could -- and in fact should -- be questioned.

“It grieves me to oppose and criticize the man Galen from whose sea of knowledge I have drawn much,” said Razi. “Indeed, he is the Master and I am the disciple. Although this reverence and appreciation will and should not prevent me from doubting, as I did, what is erroneous in his theories. and if he were alive, he would have congratulated me on what I am doing. I say this because Galen's aim was to seek and find the truth and bring light out of darkness.”

So it’s no surprise Razi found himself frustrated with those who blindly accepted dogma in other realms, especially faith. Fortunately for Razi, in the ninth century, “Islam” as we know it today was still being actively formed.

Only two centuries after the death of the Prophet, it was a time when the hadith -- the source of much of Islamic doctrine -- were still being gathered and recorded.

The Islamic world was humming with change: philosophers clashed with theologians while factions argued over the particulars of religious edicts which would later become unquestionable orthodoxy. Still, there were limitations to these debates - the “fundamentals” of the faith were not to be questioned, which irked al-Razi.

“The followers of revealed religions … reject rational speculation and inquiry about the fundamental doctrines of religion. They restrict and forbid it,” said he. “If these people are asked about the proof of the soundness of their religion, they flare up, get angry and spill the blood of whoever confronts them with this question,” said Razi

Razi may have been protected from the worst of this violence by his great accomplishments and stature, as certainly he himself held views on Islam that were deeply heretical.

For one, he denied the divine nature of the Qur’an, which he called “a work which recounts ancient myths, and which at the same time is full of contradictions and does not contain any useful information or explanation.”

If that wasn’t heretical enough, Razi went so far as to reject the bedrock doctrine of Islam, the “shahada” -- a declaration of faith required in Islam, which states that there is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is his messenger.

To Razi, God may exist, but Muhammad was not God’s prophet - in fact, he considered all prophets nothing but cheap tricksters and frauds, like street performers or magicians.

Razi believed in his own version of God, one who could be found through reason rather than revelation. To theologians, these beliefs were heinous and horrific, prompting furious rebuttals. Curiously, these rebuttals are the only remaining sources we have of his most sacrilegious views.

While many of Razi’s medical writings are accessible to us, his most directly heretical writings have long vanished. Over the centuries, the loss of this work allowed the religious to claim the physician for themselves. His heresies buried under the sands of time, Razi is today considered among the greatest thinkers in Islam.

In modern day Iran, where freethinkers can be sentenced to death for insulting the prophet, Razi’s birthday is even honored as a professional holiday.

If he was alive today, Razi, who fiercely valued his ability to think freely, who despised deference to authorities in matters of reason and faith, would have been persecuted by the very same people who revere his life and many achievements. … Almost certainly, his insults to the Prophet and the Qur’an would mean the end of his life ...and all his brilliance and potential with it.

Paved With Good Intentions- ((Yandere!Anderson v Yandere!Alucard) x Fem!Reader)

Warnings; yandere, yandere vs yandere, consistent 'good v evil' juxtaposition, virgin reader, slight unhinged behavior, both Alucard and Anderson are monsters in some way obsessing over the equivalent of a pet human, objectification, vampires (it's Hellsing, there will be vampires), religious soldiers, blasphemy, angels, devils, blood, mention of violence,

~~~~~~~~

The road to eternal suffering is paved with good intentions.

It was good intentions that got you into the mess you were currently facing, and it was those good intentions that captured the attention of monsters. Most people were concerned only with their own benefit and that was where you differed from all of them.

You wanted to help people regardless of if they were good people or not, doing what you could to lend a hand to those that needed it. There were what seemed to be endless empty churches in the country side because so many people decided to move into the cities instead. It was in one of these abandoned churches that you set up a small hospital and grew various herbs to help the people that came to you.

Medicines were becoming more expensive and people could not afford to be treated with more modern methods. You didn't charge any money to those who came to you for help, nor did you demand they be repentant followers of God. With all the new branches of the church and the demand of being a certain religion to receive help, you decided to just help without that demand.

Of course, since you had moved into a church there was no small amount of visitors regarding the church, most of whom you sent on their way. From pastors to wandering priests looking for a place to preach their sermon, countless people showed up at your door looking to spread their 'doctrine' to whoever would listen. Regardless of how far out from London you were, it seems anyone trying to help drew endless attention.

Letters demanding you declare some kind of loyalty to one branch of Christianity or another were shredded and burned. People who were not seeking aid but seeking followers were sent away with more than an angry word or two. Anyone trying to cause problems or preach loudly about their ideals were kicked out and chased off by you. Even with the countless people causing problems, more showed up for help of some kind.

That was how you first encountered the two monsters that would stalk your waking world and nightmares.

~~~~~~~~

It wasn't anything new for subsects of churches to crop up around London, but one particular church stood out among others. Apparently people went to the church seeking healing of their afflictions and would leave speaking about an angel that took care of them. Some even claimed it was miraculous healing from God, which drew more than a few raised eyebrows.

After countless letters sent and no response given, members of Hellsing and Iscariot decided to drop in for a visit. Of course, neither of them planned in accordance with one another- the two factions hated each other- but by whatever play of fate, they wound up visiting at the same time. Naturally the two monsters Alucard and Anderson were eager to continue their fight and little was going to stop them from going at it.

With weapons drawn and teeth bared, the monsters prepared to tear into one another gleefully. At least, the planned to until a decidedly female voice broke through their concentration with unusual clarity.

"Stop!"

It was atypical that either monsters would be called off their quarry so easily, but something about the voice snapped through their minds and drew their eyes to the source of the sound. Standing at the large double doors of the old church was a woman who glared with a fiery fury at the pair that still had yet to lower their weapons. The onlookers were surprised to see this young woman march out and into the moonlight toward the pair of beasts. Where most only saw this (h/c) woman with smooth (c/s) flesh walking in a pure white dress, the monsters saw something else entirely.

Perhaps it was the fact that none of them were exactly human, or perhaps it was because they were such monsters, but they saw a startling truth. Beneath the moonlight they saw the halo cast above the head of the woman, large ruffled wings partially open and catching the light that filtered down in a dazzling display. Light lazily faded in and out of existence like fireflies blinking in the night as it danced around the woman.

"Enough! I would have gladly welcomed you all had you not begun a fight immediately in front of my home! Put your weapons down immediately."

The pair were at a loss for words as they stared with unblinking eyes at the frustrated woman that chastised them. Weapons were slowly lowered as either monster took the being standing before them into consideration.

Alucard, the monster vampire, was shocked. He was not used to seeing anything close to the depiction of an angel among humans. As far as he had been concerned, there was no such thing as an angel outside of the various holy scriptures. Yet it seemed an angel stood before him in all their glory, the scent of the warm blood flowing within their veins calling to the beast inside with a low and seductive croon.

Anderson, the holy abomination, was humbled. He knew angels existed among men and he even thought he had caught a glimpse of one before, but nothing like this. Before him stood one of God's heavenly warriors sent down to perform blessings on His behalf. It humbled and invigorated Anderson to stand before one of the divine soldiers after years of preaching to the masses.

The group on both sides were fascinated to see the pair of beasts react so oddly and out of their typical character. On one side of the divide, a young blonde spoke up, her blue eyes filled with confusion as she pointed a single finger at the woman.

"Why does she have wings?"

"Wait," Integra turned to Seras, "what?"

"That woman, she's got wings."

This made the onlookers glance back only to see the same that they saw before, a woman with unshakable resolve in a flowing white dress. It was enough of an oddity that they resolved to speak on it once out of earshot of the young woman who seemed none the wiser.

"Forgive them," the priest Anderson had come with spoke first, walking forward to address the woman, "it seems they have forgotten their manners. We are here-"

"I don't care why you are here unless you are seeking healing. I will not have my patients be ridiculed or judged for any reason or by anyone."

"My good lady, we are not here to judge. Just to know what branch of the church you operate under-"

"None of them. This church was abandoned by your people long ago and I have turned it into my hospital where anyone and everyone can seek medical aid regardless of what brand of poison they believe in on Sundays. If you are here to preach, you can leave now and not come back. If you are here for medical attention, you may come inside only if you leave this violent nonsense at the door."

With that, you turned on one heel and confidently walked back to the church, not even glancing behind you to see if the group was following. Where most saw your retreating back, the beasts saw your illustrious feathers ruffled by the wind as the wings settled down securely on your back.

~~~~~~~~

"You found a what?"

The shocked voice broke the silence that had hung over the group of clergy members who sat at attention. The pope and all living cardinals were present among the ranks but even they were stunned to hear the report from their holy monstrosity.

"A tried and true angel. My eyes can't be deceived as easily as most. Even that abhorrent Hellsing Vampire saw her for what she truly is. She doesn't seem aware of her divinity which leads me to believe she was sent to live among us humans as a human, but she is an angel regardless."

This caused a hushed murmur to escape over the group as the men present tried to come to terms with several things. Naturally, hearing an angel walked on the Earth among men bolstered their faith and encouraged the idea that God watched over them. Beyond the angelic being, the idea that a No-Life King was aware of such a holy creature was certainly a cause for concern.

"So enemies outside of the church know one of heaven's blessed has appeared. We need to keep this holy servant out of the hands of those heretics!"

There were several shouts of agreement from the group, the members of the clergy keen to keep such a divine gift from falling into the hands of heretics. An angel was a member of the heavenly order and should be protected at all costs regardless of who may die as a result. Any member of the church would happily give their life to protect one of the divine soldiers from the filth of the world. It was during this murmuring and light bouts of conversation that Father Anderson chose to speak.

"I believe I know how."

"How?"

"She is clearly a very devoted woman who tends to the infirm, but she is loyal beyond human standards. Were she to find herself wed to a suitor, she would no doubt be a loyal wife."

This caused an immense outbreak of whispers and questions to come from the group. It made sense, of course, to have the angel wed to one of the church's most loyal members, but there were still countless questions among them. All of these questions were murmured and whispered among the group, yet Anderson stood silently where he had been since the start of the congregation taking place.

"What holy soldier could possibly be worthy of such a task?"

"Could one among us ever hope to claim a lady of God?"

"What a blessing to see every side of such a beautiful divine being!"

It was then the Pope spoke, standing up and demanding the attention of those in the room. An immediate silence fell over the group as they all looked to the holiest among them for guidence.

"Enough! The answer is clear, as a loyal member of this church and a true follower of God, Father Anderson is the obvious choice. Who else could keep such a precious blessing safe?"

After a moment of consideration, several cardinals voiced their agreement with the decision of the pope. Even those who were not in agreement kept their opinion to themselves, knowing that they had no better option to propose instead.

A grin stretched across Father Anderson's face, knowing that he had basically been given the go ahead to claim that angel any way he wished. There were dark lustful feelings churning inside of him, but who could truly blame him? If he was to be bound and wed to an angel, he would certainly wish to consummate the betrothal and have his new wife in her rightful place beneath him. The thought of being able to defile and indulge in the succulent flesh of that angelic being was no small temptation.

"I gladly accept and will take that pure being of God into the safety of my arms so that darkness may never touch her."

~~~~~~~~

"What exactly did you both see?"

Integra questioned the two vampires standing before her about the odd events that had taken place. They had cautiously retreated for the time being to assess the new information they had been presented with. The first thing that needed to be addressed was what exactly the vampires saw, as Integra only saw a woman instead of the angel the vampires saw.

"Oh? Police girl saw the truth as well? She is a Draculina, but I had expected only Anderson and I to see."

Alucard had his ever present grin as he thought about the unusual being he and the members of Hellsing had come across. Certainly the angel was not an every day being as it was the first time Alucard had even seen such a creature. It interested him to know that Seras had also witnessed the angel, but it was likely due to being one of Alucard's coven.

"Like I said, I saw that woman who yelled at Master Alucard had wings. They were big and fluffy and it was like she had some kind of light above her."

Seras was understandably confused in the situation because it seemed like an angel would be a much more common occurrence especially since it involved the various branches of the church. She was only starting to realize that it was a big deal to see an angel and even her master had not seen such a being before despite his long lifespan.

Alucard spoke next, his voice the usual relaxed drawl, but now there was an edge of excitement that accented his voice. An angel meant countless vampires and humans would be clambering over one another to get at such a divine being. Having one live in Hellsing manor meant all the entertainment possible would be coming to him instead of him being sent out to find and eliminate.

"I truly didn't think any feathered servant would be able to stand on this blood stained soil, let alone live among the worst of humans. But that is what they are supposed to do, right? Lift up the poor sinners and cure the ailments of all, even the non believers. The police girl is correct, (y/n) did have wings with bright feathers. I would say they were white, but I believe they were clear and worked like a prism where light is refracted. Above the crown of her head was an obvious gathering of light, a halo that so many humans have failed to capture the likeness of. A true angel."

Integra hummed in contemplation, knowing that Alucard was likely the best source of information regarding the odd woman they encountered. Anything they could do to keep that divine being out of the reach of Iscariot would always be ideal. Of course, she needed to think about her next move while anticipating the next move of her enemy.

"Iscariot will be chomping at the bit to get their vile hands on her. Alucard," Integra's voice was stern and to the point, "if I send you to retrieve her, you must give your word to bring her back alive, understood?"

"Yes, my master."

How to Make Bdubs in DnD

I’ll go level by level and explain the reasoning behind my decisions and how I think it fits them in character. This build assumes starting at level 8 but includes notes on differences if you start at level 1 and progress to 8. This isn't intended as a guide on how to play dnd, just how to build this character.

Class: Druid (Circle of Dreams) 7, Cleric (Life Domain) 1

Race: Goblin

Base Ability Scores: 

Str 13 (+1)

Dex 8, (-1)

Con 15 (+2) +1 from race = 16 (+3)

Int 10 (+0)

Wis 15 (+2) +2 from race = 17 (+3)

Cha 10 (+0)

Background: Guild Artisan (builder/carpenter)

As a Wisdom based caster, Bdubs will of course be prioritizing his Wisdom stat. The Strength score is necessary to wear heavy armour, which he gets from his cleric dip. If the whole “druids don’t wear metal” thing is an issue, just flavour it as being made of something else.

I built Bdubs to be an extremely good healer outside of combat, but in combat he will probably struggle to match people in damage (which is okay! That’s the other party member’s job)

Before we get into the class features, we’ll start with the goblin race features:

Darkvision 60ft.

Fey ancestry (advantage on saving throws vs being charmed)

Fury of the Small (pump extra damage equal to proficiency bonus onto attacks or spells) “I AM NOT SHORT I AM VERY TALL”

Nimble Escape: disengage or hide as a bonus action.

And the Guild Artisan background features:

Skill proficiencies: Insight and Persuasion

Guild Membership: The guild has your back

First, we start with a level in Cleric. At level 1, you gain:

Proficiency in light and medium armour and shields.

Proficiency in simple weapons

Proficiency in Wisdom and Charisma saving throws

Skill proficiencies: Religion, Medicine (obvious choices for a cleric)

Three cantrips: Guidance, Light, Toll the Dead

1st lvl Cleric spells: Clerics are prepared casters, you can swap out spells after a long rest, but Life Domain Clerics automatically have Bless and Cure Wounds prepared. Suggested spells would be Healing Word, Sanctuary, Shield of Faith and Guiding Bolt

Subclass: Life Domain

Life Domain grants: 

Disciple of Life feature. Your healing spells heal an extra 2 + the spell’s level HP (the main reason for this 1 lvl dip. The extra healing scales with the spell level, not cleric level, so there’s no need for extra levels in this class)

Proficiency in Heavy Armour (allows you to wear chain mail)

As for his deity, Bdubs of course worships himself as he established himself as a god in the hermitcraft x empires crossover.

We only take one level of Cleric; the rest is now all druid. If you’re worried about level progression, it may be more convenient to start with druid and only dip into cleric after 5 levels. The main difference would be different saving throw proficiencies, but it’s not a big deal. The biggest reason to start Cleric is for the Disciple of Life feature to buff all your healing spells.

At 2nd level, we begin our journey into Druid.

At level 1, a Druid gains:

Druidic: secret language so that when you go “AUAAUAHGGGHUGETHO” it’s actually words

Two cantrips: Druidcraft, Primal Savagery

1st lvl Druid spells: Druids are also prepared casters like Clerics, but the important spell is to take GOODBERRY. 

Bdubs is a druid because he is of course a moss enjoyer.

Goodberry synergises extremely well with Disciple of Life. Normally, Goodberry creates 10 berries that heal 1 hp each. Disciple of Life boosts the effect of healing spells by 2 + the spell level (goodberry is 1st lvl), so each Goodberry instead heals 4 HP for a total of 40 HP with a 1st lvl spell at lvl 2.

At 3rd level, we gain a second Druid level, which grants:

Wildshape

Subclass: Circle of Dreams

Circle of dreams grants:

Balm of the Summer Court, grants you a pool of d6s to heal party members with, which is even more healing for your party. (Does not synergise with Disciple of Life as it is not a spell)

At 4th level, we gain a third Druid level, which grants:

2nd level spells. Suggested spells: Healing Spirit (multiple instances of healing, strong synergy with Disciple of Life), Spike Growth (hurty moss)

Additional Cantrip: Anything works, suggested: Infestation

At 5th level, we gain a fourth Druid level, which grants:

Ability Score Improvement OR Feat. If you don’t use feats, add +1 to Wisdom and +1 to Strength.

Feat: Fey Wanderer. Grants a +1 to Wisdom (bumps it up to 18 for a +4 modifier) and the Misty Step spell, which is handy for running away from danger like Bdubs often does (“AAAUHGGHAAGH *disappears in a puff of smoke”). 

Improved wildshape

At 6th level, we gain a fifth Druid level, which grants:

3rd level spells. Suggested spells: Conjure Animals (HORSES!), Plant Growth (MOSS) or Speak with Plants (SENTIENT MOSS)

At 7th level, we gain a sixth Druid level, which grants:

Subclass feature: Hearth of Moonlight and Shadow. Basically, allows you to obscure an area to make a safe space for your party to take a rest in (gotta shreep!)

At 8th level, we take our seventh Druid level, which grants:

4th level spells. Suggested spells: Polymorph, Confusion

Summary:

Final Stats:

Str 13 (+1)

Dex 8 (-1)

Con 16 (+3)

Int 10 (+0)

Wis 18 (+4)

Cha 10 (+0)

Feat: Fey Wanderer

Cantrips: Druidcraft, Primal Savagery, Guidance, Light, Toll the Dead, Infestation

Wildshape for up to 3 hours

1st to 4th level spells: Prepare up to 5 Cleric spells and 11 Druid spells.

And that’s it! The result is a druid with extremely powerful healing abilities but who may also turn around and bite you or summon a stampede of horses on you. Perfect for Bdubs!

So…I have been INCREDIBLY distant from Santa Muerte since last year. Part of it was my meditation making me more, level headed for lack of a better term. And I have a pattern of seeking religion and spirituality to a somewhat desperate extreme when my mental health gets bad. And usually I default to trying to get back into Christianity (that is its own can of worms that I need to work through). But because of my meditation, I didn’t have that drive for spirituality as much. And earlier I. The year, my medicine made me somewhat numb and I had no drive other than to work. But now, partially out of desperation for a job, and out of missing the strength and love I received from Santa Muerte, I’ve FINALLY reconnected with her! I’ve been giving her money offerings, bought her a new prosperity rosary, and have been praying to her every day! And I’ve missed that with her. There’s no bending over backwards to justify why she lets these things happen vs not stopping these things like I have with God. She’s just there, helping me, being a surrogate mother, and still allowing me to do things for myself. And now, after a week of applying to jobs in the slowest time of the year, I’VE RECEIVED OFFERS FOR 3 JOBS!!!!!!! THANK YOU SANTA MUERTE!!!!!!!

Note: Sorry that this post is a little off topic and rambly. I got the third job offer right before posting this, and I genuinely thought I botched the mapplication process, so I was REALLY excited!

[sera-pheam]

no offense intended, but i definitely think that following a personal spirituality is far exceedingly harder over following a religion. that it’s easier to follow a prescribed set of standards instead of coming up with one entirely on ur own.... without much external help. it’s like asking a doctor for a prescription vs being dropped off in a jungle and having someone say to you “ur off on ur own.. have fun making ur own medicine !!"

and at the end of the day, you couldn't blend in with the rest, even if you wanted to. which takes like a lifetime's worth of knowing. and thats why you do whatever you do. it's out of necessity, if anything.

Asc Predictions. (Keep in mind that a lot of these are going to be other people’s predictions that I just adopted in to my religion. If they sound familiar that’s because they are)

There is a war that lasts several battles, and it is WC, TC, ShC vs RC, SkC and a group run by Sleekwhisker recruited by Splashtail.

These cats? They are the reason Splashtail made Berryheart deputy because she is the one that is bringing them to his side (she’s already a hypocrite with being RC deputy, whose to say that she would recruit the exact people she hates to fight the exact people she swore to defend?)

Either that or Splashtail promised not to hurt ShadowClan if Berryheart joined his side, but that would be kinda boring. 

Whoever is the next RiverClan leader pulls the same trick on Splashtail that Riverstar played of Slash in RH

Wasp comes back with Rook and Bee

Either Bee or Frostpaw become the leader and the other becomes a medicine cat

The deputy is either Icewing or Duskfur and the other dies

Berryheart either is killed by Sunbeam, is driven out by Sunbeam, or betrays Splashtail (hoping she gets driven out, I don’t like how she treats her kits)

Sunbeam has a monologue to Berryheart 

The next leader kills Splashtail.

Mistpaw or Graypaw die

Leafstar dies and Hawkwing either chooses Plumwillow or Violetshine as deputy

Tunneling plays a part in defeating them (with the tunneling foreshadowing that one anon mentioned)

Molewhisker dies and Sunbeam mentors Stempaw.

What I hope happens with everything in my heart.

Crowfeather dies and Breezepelt becomes deputy.

WhistleFrost

I really like these! Although I also would like to see Heathertail as WindClan deputy more than Breezepelt honestly, I love Breezepelt but I think she would be better at it.

A buraq is a minor celestial being that visits the worthy to provide guidance, advice, and very rarely as a steed. Each one takes the form of a human-faced, winged equine smaller than a mule but larger than a donkey, but has its own unique coat color, facial features, often with whites, silvers, and golds included. Additionally, each has a gilded band it wears around its head or neck, but none has ever revealed where the bands came from.

The buraq's ultimate role is as a courier and steed, but only to the most virtuous of characters. In a most dire circumstance, where a great deal of distance must be covered and teleportation magic is unavailable, a holy person may petition a buraq to bring them on a Night Journey, a mystical trip that allows the buraq and its rider to travel incredibly far, then return to the start of their journey.

Inspired by the Tome of Beasts 1. This post came out a week ago on my Patreon. If you want to get access to all my monster conversions early, as well as access to my premade adventures and other material I’m working on, consider backing me there!

Pathfinder 2e

This stat block is partially built off of early readings for the Remastered version of Pathfinder 2e. While a few elements were simple (excluding alignment), elements such as the use of the holy and unholy traits, as well as spirit damage are a bit more guesses than thorough readings. Unfortunately, as far as I've been able to read there haven't been any proper celestials or fiends statted out for the Remaster yet, so I may be off on how some of these traits will work, but given the intention of the Remaster is that monsters should be easily converted between, any errors here should hopefully slide thorugh with easy fixes.

It can also use Fold the Earth to return itself and its rider to the location where it first declared the Night Journey, ending the journey.

The buraq's Night Journey is better suited as a story element, such as a use of a player's Icon benefit, or a powerful ritual. Given the intended rarity and gravity of such an event, it should be limited to a one time event, unrepeatable except perhaps in the most extreme of circumstances.

Buraq  6th level mount [celestial]  Initiative: +10 Hooves +10 vs. AC (2 attacks) - 5 damage plus 5 holy damage. Flight. Fold the Earth: 1/battle, as a standard action, the buraq can teleport itself and its rider to any spot it can see. Haste: 1/battle, as a standard action, the buraq can grant a nearby ally an extra standard action on its next turn. If the target was the buraq’s rider, it can sustain this effect as a quick action on each of its turns, granting an additional standard action during its rider’s next turn each time it sustains it. Mount: The buraq can have a medium or smaller creature as a rider. Each round the buraq can choose to act on its own turn or its rider’s turn. Resist Holy 16+. AC 21 PD 19 MD 19 HP 84

TONIGHT'S MOVIE: Ready Player One

this is a series where i am watching a movie and want to tell people things out loud but i'm alone or told to shut up irl

THOUGHTS:

very my dad coded, "the 80s were peak in all human history and time" and i'm suspect of that, but they all seem harmless

you can WIN by knowing TRIVIA this man was autistic

he is also autistic coded and it's a bit obvious but i love him

i refuse to ever believe the true nerds would ever EVER work w the bad guys

just because they're corporate. one thing men learned to do in the 80s was to "stick it to the man"

secretary lady said "sir these are children. grow up" and she was RIGHT lmao ur nemesis is 11

i would have loved this at 12 years old /affectionate

Artemis is a GOD

omfG THEY KEPT H'S CHARACTER

my fellow nerds!! we must unionise to to keep our nerd-dom free and equal

i need Fred voice man to secretly switch sides

i was always a fantasy mythology latin theater arts nerd autistic growing up not the scifi star wars star trek science math boy nerd autistic

but i see you, i understand

ok maybe making a religion out of your game and having a singular popular voted leader is more of a "democracy wins" rather than communism but it's going in the right direction

ong they're playing a game while evil secretary is like "i can just kill these children irl, then they die in the game"

ok maybe i'm just attracted to Nerd Freaks,

AND the fact that the kids are fighting where dying in game doesn't mean dying irl

but the corporate bad guys are going the kill irl to kill in game method, it's really telling

THE IRON GIANT AND THE 80S VOLTRON

as a transgender person, i recognize a love for the customization of characters that videogames give

prostate cancer medicine ad

(side note all the bad side effects literally describe most of my chronic pain wow cancer sucks)

fuck my new cart hits so hard

IT'S NOT ABOUT WINNING IT'S ABOUT PLAYING

fuck i hate bad guys, they're so hateable

i really son't understand the mechanics of how moving/hitting works in this videogame vs real life shit

hank green's book did it better

HA BOSS GUY GOT KICKED IN THE BALLS

this is what you get for making weird sex toys out of cool vr stuff

THE QUARTER I AM SOBBING

maybe everything i watch is good because i'm high not the other way around

either way i am having more fun consuming media than i ever have this makes me so happy

NINJAS DON'T HUG

i love that he's aware of the real world and the videogame at the same time

stick it to the karens these days

the first easter egg ever in video game history 😭

mans doxxing himself to get irl help, THAT is reaching out to your community

the nerds being happy

being completely poor again to get the prize, the american dream

also the orphan inheriting from the Wise Old Man, MUAH an underappreciated trope

the final test and the MOST AUTISTIC MAN I'VE EVER SEEN I LOVE HIM

YES THE MOB SHOULD KILL HIM

a true mob would never be intimidated by force

oh man jeeze that guy is my dad (the autistic one)

THE GAMERS WOULD NEVER BOW TO THE POLICE WTF

MR MAGORIUMS MAGIC EMPORIUM that's what it reminds me of

bro, i will join the punk rock rebellion in a minute, first i have to kiss a girl

oh man H is my fucking fav can i kiss u

technically she's a lesbian in canon but it's purely out of Respect

awwww they created a democratic government for the videogame

"there's no rule against losing a bet to a cheeky kid"

tuesdays and thursdays are for making out with girlfriends

CONCLUSION:

maybe Spielberg movies are for those kids who went to video game unreality when i went to book unreality, it hits the right buttons

#just some #key ideas for you #lmao #ready player one #steven spielberg #silly time #tonight's movie

OKAY TIME TO GO ABSOLUTELY FERAL OVER AMANE’S SEASON 2 SONG (CW/TW for Child abuse, cults/religious stuff and murder) Massive Milgram Season 1 and 2 Spoilers, specifically for Amane’s songs and her section of the Season 1 results report! Also this is gonna be such a mess I’m sorry I’m really bad at organising my thoughts fbsjcbjebf (breaking this up cause it’s SO long)

Quick context if you’re not aware of this series (if you’re not then I’m unsure why you’re reading this but go off!!! 💪💪‼️‼️💖💖💖), in Milgram everyone is a murder. Guilty and forgiven votes aren’t if they should be forgiven or not for the murder itself, it’s if they should be forgiven for their reasons. Honestly everyone is so tragic that there’s very few people I don’t forgive for their actions (except for Yuno and Mahiru I don’t forgive those two at ALL, along with Kazui, because I’m still not sure of his reasons). NOW. Why the FUCK did the fandom vote her guilty oh my GOD we’ve gen broken this poor girl- Jackalope seems to think it was the right to vote her guilty during the Season 1 report but Es seems to have only done it so she realises what she has done is wrong which I assume is due to her young age? So she doesn’t just assume murder is right due to being forgiven. It’s not as much of a punishment as it is a lesson. Whilst yes, sounds a little harsh, but she literally killed someone (I FORGIVE HER WAY MORE FOR WHAT SHE DID THAN ANYONE ELSE THOUGH DUE TO THE CONTEXT WE GOT IN HER NEW SONG). Now, I don’t think the cult theory from Season 1 is wrong, especially due to the lyrics of this song and also her interrogation questions that featured answers such as “This is a trial from God” and her father being on an honorable journey (which I presume is a pilgrimage?), but it’s not as present here. This is much more focused on the abuse she received rather than both the abuse and the cult itself.

Now, I’m assuming the mascots from Magic are maybe associated with the cult? Given that her abuser has allowed them to be displayed on the front door I very much doubt they’re purely associated with an educational show like was originally presumed. They also appear in the marching section, which shows that they’re most likely associated with what’s being said in this section which uses phrases that most would associate with religion. I’m assuming Magic was more about indoctrination and Amane learning the Do’s and Dont’s of the cult through the physical abuse she went through when making a mistake. It’s shown she internalised that she can’t make any mistakes as in The Purge March, when she makes a small mistake in her flag throwing, she punishes herself (the march itself is purely a metaphor, she’s shown putting herself through something involving the shower in real life following drowning in the march section). However, she doesn’t only afflict abuse upon herself. Oh my *god* that taser when she walks into the apartment is gonna HAUNT me. I’m not entirely sure if the man watching her tend to the cat is her abuser as he’s holding the hand of another little girl with an umbrella, and it was revealed in her interrogation questions that her family only consisted of her, her mother and her father, so that can’t be her father because she doesn’t have a sister. The girl does have very similar features to Amane though so it could be like what he expected of her compared to what she’s actually doing? And then when she goes home she’s punished for not following expectations, not for saving the cat (although I’m 100% certain that does play into an aspect of it due to the whole medicine vs prayer thing in Magic). Although, her father couldn’t be on an “honourable journey” if he was her abuser anyway because she would’ve killed him before going in to Milgram. Although she does say it *was* my father, mother and I.

A theory I have is that the honourable journey is possibly his death? The chorus of the song is “I disavow you, eyes corrupted must be crushed. So nary a sound can be uttered a second time, I’ll crush your throat too. It’s now your turn to say that hopeless ‘I’m sorry’”. I’m assuming that she views him as corrupted due to him abusing her and that must be amended through dying for his sins, as they’re so great at this point that punishment is no longer an option, nor is repenting through apologies. She clearly views him as a monster due to the line “If you become a bad girl, monsters will come out”, so I doubt she sees him as someone who can be saved through more humane means (or at least humane by her cult’s standards). The line “This is the magic that stops that from happening” whilst she’s tending to the cat’s wound might be a case of her rebelling away from the prying eyes of her abuser in order for her to act perfect in front of him, which obiviously backfires when he sees her doing it whilst looking for her. She wants to be praised by him which is shown through the answers in her interrogation such as “Do you think that your family is proud of you?” “Of course. No daughter is as exemplary as I.” and “Who do you want to meet right now?” “My father. I want him to praise me for working hard.” and through her viewing her only talent/hobby as studying (which I assume she only partakes in in order to receive praise) but she can’t remain perfect all the time. She just doesn’t show that in front of her family and tries to keep it to the small amount of free time she has in order to avoid punishment and them being disappointed in her.

One of the lines she says is “‘Tis ordained, thou shall stay thine course, then perish” so she’s expected to stay in line until she passes, which is obviously an insane expectation that she can’t follow up until her demise, so it makes sense that she acts out now and then, even if it ends up being to her own detriment (I hate how taking care of a cat is seen as acting out by her father but yeah :(((( ). Also the line “Despite this, the “It can’t be helped”, from the scum that can’t be helped” shows that her father views the punishments as something that are necessary and can’t be helped, whilst Amane sees him as someone who can’t be helped (which is why she eventually kills him). This partially contradicts her punishing herself but I’m assuming she thinks her own punishments are nowhere near as bad as her father’s , which given as how it just seems like she gave herself a freezing shower (along with crying, repenting and kneeling as she mentions later on) whilst her father TASED HER, yeah I see what she means (although I’m still sad she thinks she has to punish herself :( ). ALSO WHAT THE FUCK DID HER FATHER DO TO THE CAT. Her looking up to the sky after seeing the cat is gone hurts so much due to her religious views :( The lines following that are “If you’re going to break your vow, here and now it’s my turn to tear you apart” which seems like she’s now punishing her father for breaking the rules rather than being punished herself (I’m not certain which rule he has broken at the moment as I’m not sure what the rules of the cult exactly are? None of the ones mentioned in this video seem to fit expect for “thou shall discard vulgarity”, but I’m gonna scan through Magic at some point to see if there are any hints).

“So there is no second time, I’ll give back the judgement you gave me” yeah she is 100% punishing him for breaking the rules so he doesn’t do it again like he did to her. “After you cry, repent and kneel, it’s now your turn to say that hopeless ‘I’m sorry’” MORE PROOF THAT SHE’S GONNA GET BACK AT HIM- There’s gen no way the person she kills at the end isn’t her father (or just another abuser if my ‘honourable journey being his death’ theory is wrong), possibly her mother but there’s only been one mention of her throughout the entirety of Milgram so I very much doubt that). “You’re sorry? I don’t care! Please, go ahead and die already” supports my earlier statement that she views him as too far gone to simply apologise and repent, that further measures must be taken (it’s clearly not for revenge rather than it is following the rules that he himself set as she says that it was a “natural obligation” when asked if she regrets her murder). “Remember MY cries, MY repents, MY words of ‘Im sorry’ that I said to you?” aka her telling him that she’s going to hold him to the same expectations that he has of her (I know this can have a few different meanings but I’m choosing the ones that seem to align the closest with her/the cult’s ideals). I’m unsure if the end is her mother discovering that she killed her father or not? I’m pretty sure that shot is just to show that she killed him but her looking at the camera seems to indicate that someone is there. I’m also unsure why she’s in her marching outfit? I’m presuming it’s to show that her intentions were associated with the cult’s ideals and views as whenever she wears that outfit in the video the wording is very… idk how to describe it but it sounds like smth you’d read in the bible, and yes while that sort of stuff is said in different parts of the video where the marching theme isn’t present, it’s basically the only way she’ll say stuff during the marching section. Also small analysis of why she’s marching, she’s meant to be marching in a straight line to her death, never to stray unless she wants to be punished, not until “The Purge March” is complete.

ANYWAY YEAH I HOPE YOU HAD FUN READING THIS IDK WHY YOU DID THOUGH CAUSE ITS LIKE SO LONG???? I just love Milgram sm I had to analyse this MV as soon as possible even though the last time I did this was for All Knowing and All Agony last year- this might not be right at ALL, I’m not the best at theorising and I may have missed a lot of context due to not being super knowledgeable about the subject matter (maybe I’ll hunt down some video essays to listen to whilst drawing) and also not being able to read kanji or katakana so I missed out on some background details as well but I hope at least a bit of this is right???? We’ll hopefully see when her Season 3 MV is released! (I also realised I didn’t even talk about how her guilty verdict may have affected this video but honestly I’m unsure how to touch on that as of now so I may make a follow up to this after looking over Magic again and having a bit more time to think about what was revealed here rather than immediately jotting down all my thoughts)

Jason and Chrissy are siblings au: Jason being the doctor of the group. Because he's going to college to be a doctor( also why him and Chrissy are friends. Constantly keeping and eye on her so he knows when that diet her mom is forcing on her isn't going to far. But Chrissy doesn't always tell him everything). Like he's he's only one who realistic knows how to stich someone up. Constantly prissy about everyone getting infections or diseases from the upside down. The one thing he really fights with his parents when it comes to medicine vs religion

So are they half siblings? Like her mom and his dad are together and Jason's mom is gone? Anyway, I love this, love ANYONE noticing that Chrissy is suffering.

Side note, I LOVE doctor Jason, actually I considered writing a sequel to my Doctor Billy/Nurse Steve where Jason's the head of surgery. And Eddie works at the hospital cafeteria and helps Jason relax after his very stressful day.

Academiya Arabiya (Dark Academia but make it Arab)

Arabic Dark Academia is: 

Realizing that knowledge isn't restricted to one field. So you study literature, medicine, philosophy, mathematics, law, music and history. 

Sipping on Karak tea; tea cooked in condensed milk infused with spices like cardamom, ginger and saffron which warm the cockles of your heart.

Long, flowing thobes.

Stepping barefoot on lush, silk, carpets.

Studying the different herbs and their medicinal properties followed by a trip to your local apothecary. ينسون (Ainse) to help sleep, بابوج (Chamomile) to calm the nerves, مرمية (Sage) for stomachaches, عشرق (Circaea) for a cleanse. 

Feel a sense of melancholia after realizing how advanced Arabs were a 1000 years ago even by modern standards vs. how we are today. 

Refuse to learn European/Colonial languages and opt for Semitic languages instead. 

Laugh out loud at anecdotes from كتاب الأغاني, Book of Songs, by Abu Al-Faraj Al-Isfahani.  

Daydreaming of being a pupil in the House of Wisdom in Baghdad circa. 12th cent. 

Re-learning all the original Arabic terminology which were Latinized and used in English, French and Spanish. 

Instead of watching horse races in polo sweaters, you learn the different names of horses based on their traits in golden threaded bisht. 

Strumming on your oud, in halved and quartered notes which makes Arabic music much more sophisticated than its western counterpart.

Putting argan and sesame seed oil in your hair for your thick, dark, curls and lining your big brown eyes with a thick layer of kohl. 

Fantasizing about dancing in Al-Andalus gardens to Muwashahaat. 

Aristotle's Book of Animals was about animals, however, Al-Jahith's book (الجاحظ) not only added to the animals, but also talked about religion, philosophy, folklore, sociology, politics, and much more. This book could easily be all you need for the Abbasid Era.  

No other language can taste as sweet, quell one's rage, soothes one's soul, balms one's heart, satisfy one's fury as Arabic.

Picturing yourself as a noble in an Umayyad Court. 

Understanding that Arabs are like Al-Sadu. Each culture represents an individual thread, but when woven together, we make a single, beautiful pattern.  

No matter what region, religion, sect, gender, or identity, you are proud to be an Arab. سجل، أنا عربي.

D.U.D.E Bios: Saraid Grady-Sullivan / Sara Lucifarian (2021)

The Wrathful Imp Sara Lucifarian

Same pic as Sara hasn't changed much.

The seventh of the seven, the fireball of a young lady, Sara Lucifarian.

[nv-alexander]

I have begun a journey to figure out what literature my local library has on certain topics such as:

Sexuality

Gender/transgender/transsexual topics

Hormone therapy

Queer history

Psychology: general and abnormal

Substance abuse disorders and recovery

Non-christian religions

Medicine

And other topics for funsies (occulttism, alternative medicine, folklore, mythology, botany, herbal medicine, mushrooms...etc)

Its been disappointing, but not surprising. The only book on hormone replacement therapy ive found is a trans panic book about some clinic prescribing puberty blockers. It was in the pediatrics section. Then there were 2 trans panic books in the gender and sexuality section. Oh, and if youre looking for that topic it's in social sciences--around the 305/306 neighborhood in dewey decimal, and HQ12-78 in library of congress classification.

I think the books we choose to keep in our libraries, how we classify them and what we have physical vs digital copies of, reflects the values and ideology of a community. Maybe more of us should keep that in mind. Think of the teenager looking for medical books on hrt or information about the queer experience and only finding trans/queer panic books on the shelves.

You can request your library to purchase material, so we should use that tool to show what we support. And dont neglect the nonfiction section--thats where we look for information that impacts our lives. It matters.
