Disney's next animated feature film is a crossover about an explorer's daughter, a king's brother, and the lord of the underworld. What is its theme?

On three legs, I am a brute.
On four, a beauty.
Any more, and I am called abnormal.

As Astaroth was one of the demons I'd dragooned for my works (as noted in the tags), I was rechecking his entry in my grimoire (yeah, at 1st level, I only have one). Two things struck me this time. First, it didn't say anything about him having two pairs of wings in the description. Second, there wasn't much in the picture that portrayed the steed ( Read more... )

As you may have guessed from the name, a Harrow deck is a mystical set of cards used for telling fortunes. The second Pathfinder Adventure Path uses it as a running theme throughout, and the finalé (spoilers for general progression of the story in the link) includes rules for a mighty artifact known as the Harrow deck of many things, based on the ( Read more... )

Just for the hell of it, I feel like typing a bit about the ideas behind my PN.

This time I had a small batch, so I'm trying to drop them all down here before I get the next one and end up being distracted again. But if I always use the same number of items for good luck, why is this one smaller than usual?

説明しよう！†

I did indeed pick 13 items in my original order. However, due to the fact that the release of one of the items ( Read more... )

I noticed a while back that, when I wear my good clothes, I look just like a negative of a photo of Ion from CHRNO†CRUSADE. (I'm afraid I failed to find any reasonably sized picture where he wasn't doing something unpleasant to a lady.) I never saw any information about where the demons originated in that world-view, so for all I know, he could be ( Read more... )

Last night, I told a co-worker my name, and he talked about how Gabriel and I beat down Lucifer. I thought that was an interesting coincidence with what I was studying lately. Personally, I take his name as the older "Samael," since "Lucifer" is Latin rather than Hebrew.
