tristeham doesn’t like that I think support of Donald Trump is support of fascism and then thinks that’s an appropriate to do about it.

to be fair it is a conclusion about Trump that is directly resulting from my love of Tillich.

and yet you cannot deny you gently caress, cum in, and fall asleep clinging to boats

ships

not boats. boats are cargo. the yacht-ees are whole separate thing from unlimited tonnage and horsepower mariners.

I actually kind-of dislike boats bigger than canoes basically until one gets to real ships.

I confess I'm also confused about this much hatred for boats, I've always found them pretty cool. To look at, if not be on. They do make me seasick sometimes. But I appreciate the enthusiasm and power of your words, plus the request for protection from genocide-justifiers, so I'm in. I'll add my power to this anti-boat rite. :love:

Be careful too with your verbal components of any sort of effective ritual work. For example, BRD already disavowed any fondness for "boats" so the sympathetic link there is tenuous. You don't want to accidentally banish anyone with an appreciation for boats from the thread, boats are very mythologically important. Charon has a boat. Nemty has a boat. Ninurta has a boat. Many people depend on celestial ferrymen, and their associated boats

Book of Coming Forth By Day, Spell 125 posted:

I have given bread to the hungry, and water to the thirsty, clothes to the naked and a boat to him who was boatless.

Including the boatless among the poor may not be merely an ancient Egyptian idiosyncrasy. An ancient Jewish song praising the Lord in times of trouble described persons hungry, thirsty, in prison, sick, and persons doing business on boats caught in storms.[5] Like being boatless, doing business on boats caught in storms seems less universally relevant than being hungry, thirsty, in prison, or sick. However, the ancient Egyptians understood boats to be the vehicles by which gods traveled across the sky and through the underworld. Persons could aspire to voyage with a god in the afterworld, and they worried about evil forces carrying them away in a boat:

quote:

may a place be made for me in the solar bark on the day when the god ferries across

quote:

let me not be carried away in a boat, or be seized violently and taken to the East [6]

Perhaps boats gained more universal significance through their association with the realm of the gods and after-worldly travel.

there are five distinct types of Boat, of which ships are one. i will exclusively use fictional spacecraft to illustrate

there are Ferries, which serve to toot a character around from adventure to adventure. video game spaceships are this a lot of the time: you dont care that much about the blue falcon or the pleasingly bulbous thing samus aran flies around, but you know they exist because they let the game happen. i guess the tardis is this a lot of the time. rowboats and shuttles. the scale of quiet reflection or a personal conversation

there are Fighter Planes, which are fighter planes. starfuries, colonial vipers, arwings, etc. common af because most space opera was created in the 20th century

there are Houses, which are also trucks and yachts. it can carry a small ensemble of heroes around, and you want the interior to feel like a space that would be livable. the millennium falcon; but sizable things like the liberator or moya often are, functionally, large houses

there are Ships, which have full communities aboard. they function like something on the scale between a small town and a comic book city, and have multiple distinct interior spaces that you use in distinct narrative circumstances. the enterprise.

there are Worlds, which are anything big enough that you will never, ever really know what the whole interior is like, and which have like an entire society on them. usually a place you go to—if it goes to somewhere, well, big day for that somewhere. technically-mobile space stations, peacekeeper command carrier, gsv

the ferry-fighter distinction is very fluid in storytelling which i think is interesting. we love the p-51 mustang so much that we require its new fictional proxies to fill all the roles of the noble steed

the Ferry is a kinda fundamental narrative unit: a way to make transit as eventful (or expository) as the story needs. like aboard the enterprise, the turbolift acts as an internal ferry where characters can engage in private interaction during travel between ship-baed settings. the fighter, when present, can fill the need; and the need is v often present

its more interesting imo when the ferry acts like a fighter. a lot of car chases are basically dogfights in their beats

Thanks for support and advice. I have reconfigured the wards to whitelist most boat related things. This is my first dabbling with abjuration, so I am learning as I go.

i was mixing it up w the falcon flyer because a man named captain falcon who uses the falcon flyer to transport the blue falcon to places he can use his falcon punch against blood falcon is too much falconry for my brain to reliäbly sort
