There are two positions of centralized power in New York city. The first is the position of Mayor of New York, traditionally held by a human. The second is the position of Rat-King of New York, traditionally held by a rat (though there was that time back in '76 when an orangutan briefly held the title). Every 4 years, both parties meet to discuss and update the terms of the Treaty of New York, signed in 1976 after the Third Rat Revolt devastated a portion of the subway system on the lower east side.

Mage towers as inverted oil drilling platforms, reaching up into the sky to tap the powerful pooling confluences of magic and draw it down into more easily useable forms

A Few of My Favourite Parts of the Liber Monstrorum

I'm currently reading a translation of the Liber Monstrorum for a class. Here are some of my favourite entries so far (with commentary):

"And they say there has been another monster in a certain spot near the Ocean, who saw from the shore a boat slipping on the waves, and the sailors, terrified by the sight of him, hesitating to come to shore, and he snatched the ship and its crew from the midst of the sea and placed it on dry land." (I. 32)

What a lad. Man really went "Oh? you're drowning? No worries, I got you." And then placed the entire boat gently on shore amidst the crews screams of terror.

"It is reckoned that Scylla has been the monster most hostile to sailors in that channel which washes between Italy and Sicily, having indeed the head and chest of a maiden (like the sirens), but the belly of a wolf and the tails of dolphins. And what by their distinguishes the nature of sirens from Scylla is that they deceive seamen by their deadly song, whilst she with the strength of her force, girt about with sea dogs, is said to have mangled the wrecks of the unfortunate." (I. 14)

Breaking News! Local sea witch bewitches sailors with her raw physical strength and power. Oddly more effective than singing. More at 6.

"And they say what is impious to be said, that there is a certain monster of the night, which always used to fly by night through the shade of the sky and the earth, terrifying people in cities with its dreadful cry, and it had as many eyes and ears and mouths, as it had feathers. And it is always said to have been without rest or sleep." (I. 42)

This one's just a rumor, given a physical description by the monk that wrote this.

That's all for now.

I'm like if a chivalrous knight kissed a fair maiden's hand and said "my lady, I fight for you" and then walked off and immediately tripped over his own armor and fell on the ground

And call him a "homodubii" (dubious man).

Put his ass in the dubious machine

You know that post about how angels and telephone towers are biologically compatible? That’s how I feel about overgrown plants and industrial machines.
