iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

A great and terrible evil. This is the first major confirmation outside of some story hints that Val is increasing in strength. How do they defeat Val? I have some ideas of course but I have to get back to work! If you have a topic you want my take on in MTG narratives LMK ;)

Like an old CRT TV, leaking magic similar to what we see in some Duskmourn cards. Another having a moth icon on a lamppost in the background. Again, subtle unless you know where to look. In Zhalfir we have a Duskmourn survivor. Flavor text talking about Zhalfir as a refuge from...

While I'm still on my break from work, how would I handle Valgavoth (our favorite Duskmourn Demon) being shown as the next big bad? We start out on Noctis. In the background of one or two pieces of art show some a toy in the background of some card art that a kid is clutching or maybe...

Anyway that's how I'd do it. The gang still tries to stop him and all. Jace simultaneously can't help himself, cannot be wrong again and also can't ask for help. He has to see the work through because if he doesn't then he's dead and it was all for nothing....

In the haze of the moment he creates something new. Unsure as to why he did so or why she looked so like an amalgamation of himself and Vraska. He assumes as an assistant, because he cannot do it all himself anymore, the work is just too big. And so Tam is spun out of the Aether...

of those he loved. Sure he brought Gideon back but the very magic warped his morals. Tamiyo is a usurper and Garruk is a butcher. Jace had only intended to fix what was broken, his survival guilt on full display in his mind, his astonishment of his own hubris as his guiding principle...

ignore. He's so close! And if a few people suffer then what does that tiny bit of suffering matter compared to The Greater Good? He can't stop now and there is nothing left of him to object, to point out the flaws or hypocrisy as the very intentions of his spell go awry creating warped versions...

As our Mind Mage is casting off parts of himself that object to the plan, his obsession at this point, poor Gallia is alone in the underworld. Again, he cannot stop death and so he disregards it. By the time that Loot and Proft are spun from the Aether though, it becomes too much for Jace to...

A minor tweak to make the cards align better with the story of Reality Fracture (A universe without suffering) is that the work Jace is doing is unraveling at the same time that he is. Thalia is a Geist? Well she died an honorable death, he can't very well stop death! But then it gets worse...

The reason not to triangulate against trans people isn't that it's bad politics (although I believe it is) or unnecessary (although I believe it is). It's because YOU MUST NOT ABANDON THE VULNERABLE TO DEPRAVED PEOPLE WHO WILL DO THEM HARM. If we will, what's the point of anything else we do?

Democrats' refusal to hold Amy Acton accountable for her recent anti-trans pivot enabled this. You cannot ask trans people to just ignore or look past stuff like this, you need to stand with us now. This gutter bigotry is unacceptable and disqualifying. Candidates like this *are* the greater evil

How would you feel about poison moving up to like 15? Not getting rid of it but moving it up a bit to make it more of an effort to attain?

There's a parallel between the people that won't give up Harry Potter and the people that insist on using AI. They care only about themselves and their own comfort. Expecting either to change is not going to happen by them learning empathy. It will only change when it impacts them personally.

If the Eldrazi were part of Jace's rewrite, what does that mean for Zendikar and Innistrad in the Echoverse? The deeper implications for Sarkhan, Ugin, Sorin and Nahiri are interesting to say the least.

Don't fall for this. Rowling wants trans people to self censor and to stop sharing the report. If this report really was as defamatory as she claims, she wouldn't be cheering on its spread. What she really wants is a costly settlement from AI UK, humiliating apology, and permanent silence.

A screenshot of a thread on X (formerly Twitter). The main post is a quote tweet by J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling), which reads:
"Shout out to all trans activists sharing the blacklist of women's and gay rights organisations published by @AmnestyUK! You're demonstrating very effectively that in spite of their hasty backtrack it can be easily accessed forevermore, increasing legal liability. Thank you! ❤️"
Rowling is quote-tweeting a user named Lesbian Lenin 🇵🇸 🔻 🇵🇸 (@xstaffsuck), whose post reads:
"The report btw, documenting how TERF orgs work hand in hand w/ anti-abortionists, christian nationalists, & anti-LGBT+ (yes, you too, c*s queers!) orgs to push trans genocide
To be anti-trans is to be anti-abortion, is to be a christian nazi, is to be anti-queer
Report is below"
The user @xstaffsuck is, in turn, quoting an earlier tweet from J.K. Rowling, which reads:
"Should any of the women's organisations targeted by @AmnestyUK's recent 'anti-rights' blacklist wish to take legal action, applications can be made to the JK Rowling Women's Fund. jkrwf.org"
