Maybe we shouldn’t trust Marisa around birds after all…

Faragonda, to the press: Please note that Alfea does not condone violence.
Faragonda, thinking back to all the fights the Winx have been in: or at least not murder.
Faragonda, remembering she’s a veteran & a member of the Company of Light: for the most part.
Griselda, smirking: Alfea condones sending a message!

Immortality Ramble
okay so Wukong is 8x immortal. here's how:
Patriarch Subodhi's training makes Wukong invulnerable to death by old age, lightning, and fire (as I understand it).
Crossing his name out of the Book of Life which "frees him from the jurisdiction of the underworld gods" (as put by Overly Sarcastic Productions), meaning they can't take him to the afterlife. So invulnerable to death as a being ig lol.
Eating the heavenly peaches of immortality. This tacks 3,000+ years on to his lifespan unless he ate the 3rd time of peach, where he'd be "eternal as heaven and earth, as long-lived as the sun and moon" (Wikipedia). So honestly this doesn't really matter if he was already ageless LMAO.
Drinking immortal wine. I can't find what it grants specifically but my guess is more years on his lifespan 💀
Eating immortality pills. Similarly to the wine, I assume this just adds more years.
Surviving Lao Tzu (or Laozi)'s furnace. This apparently "extracts yet more of the impurities of mortality and leaves him with another immortality" (Wikipedia). So I would say this means he's invulnerable to sickness and the like (bc "impurities of immortality"?).
Last but not least, the Ginseng or "man-fruit", which gives him 47,000 years.
So anyway. The reason I'm here.
In most fanfiction/art I've seen, Wukong convinces the others (namely MK) to become immortal via the peaches. But unless they eat the 3rd type, they're not timeless. So consider:
At 100, it's like you were 20 just yesterday. 300, 500? You blink and you miss a few decades. Maybe you forget to keep track of how long you have, now that you've lived a handful of centuries with more to come. Maybe you even forget that your time, though prolonged, is still limited at all. And since you're as handsome and spry as you were all those years ago, you have no reminder that time is steadily ticking on.
Until, of course, that time is up.
Just a thought :)

Hello! This isn't comic-related, but concerning the Frankenstein's Eyes Incident, I thought it might be worth it to drop by and say that the main thing your classics summaries inspired me to do is actually read more, especially the source materials, including Frankenstein, which became my favorite book a few years ago, and still inspires basically everything I create (the amount of homunculus and artificially constructed characters in my writing are... something). And after being introduced to it through OSP, Dracula was my gateway read into the horror fan I am today. ith the risk of putting too much feels into an ask to a stranger, if I haven't stumbled into OSP when I did, I might not have ended up being a writer at all, and now a few weeks ago my first short story got actually published and that rekindling of love for the art of storytelling sorta kinda maybe changed my life. It's frustrating when people on the internet misinterpret what you're saying and use it as basis for misinformation, but there's also other cases! I'm sure you know about that already but still, a quick "hey, your fascination with stories was so contagious it made my life better" wouldn't hurt, probably. That's all I hope you have a good day!

I know there’s other mythology channels with illustrations and such now but my favorite mythology YouTuber is probably still Dael Kingsmill because she just sits down and tells you a story. I’m still kinda sad she doesn’t make a lot of mythology content anymore. It’s understandable because people change and the art they make changes with them, but I still miss it.
She got me into searching through primary sources and looking into stuff outside of Egyptian mythology before I even took my mythology and ancient lit courses in college. Watching her on the geek & sundry channel in my senior year of high school got me obsessed.
And again, she just tells the myths by telling them. Channels like OSP, Jake Doubleyoo, and Mythology&Fiction explained are all absolutely wonderful and their illustrations and animations are wonderful too. But nothing else quite hits the same as some rando just plopping down in front of you with toast in their mouth and going “Hey I’m about to tell you a story. Listen up.”
