Singularity

Blinking flip

I thought this had gone out of fashionFolk are still at it. Have they never stopped to consider what would happen if the Fey really did manage to become physical in this world? If the magic really did come back? It’s not all making candles light by chanting at them in Latin. How chuffed would the Queen of Fairies be if the snotty little kid next door could sneeze out a Pokemon Tulpa? Because you can’t have one without the other.

Gods. Stormwatch should be compulsory reading for people who think bringing the magic back is a good idea. I don’t know about you but the idea that the vast seething biomass out there would have access to fireballs fills me with a sort of gut-wrenching horror. They can’t even drive without killing thousands of people every year, and that’s despite the Highway Code.

And then there’s the whole perception thing. Not being able to see/experience such things — assuming they are real, for the sake of argument — is probably the best protection the faery world can have. Humans are not known for their altruistic lack of exploitation. Gods it would be as much a disaster for them as it would for us.

People just don’t think these things through properly.
