That, Peter had told Wendy, was the way to the Neverland; but even birds, carrying maps, could not have sighted it with these instructions. Peter, you see, just said anything that came into his head.

Painting by Belgian artist Alfred Stevens. An elegant young woman in evening dress stands at the balcony of an open window, looking out at the night sky. Below the balcony is choppy water. Above, the sky is dotted with bright stars. The moon can just be glimpsed at the edge of the window. Late 19th century.

Dazzlingly decamping

Star Trek hot take: I personally like The Doctor's arc on VOY more than Data on TNG, because fundamentally, Janeway does not view The Doc as a person through MOST of Voyager's run. While Data faces institutional prejudice, he always has Picard as an authority figure who backs him. The Doc doesnt.

Merlin dictates his adventures to Blaise. An illustration from a medieval manuscript.
Many Arthurian legends say that Merlin's mentor was a man named Blaise. Blaise is usually depicted as a priest who exorcises Merlin's demonic nature when he is born, turning the half-demon good. Merlin also dictates his adventures to Blaise, who writes them down.

George Carlin said it best: euphemisms like "unalive" soften language and conceal reality. It is *not* akin to AAVE or use of poetic language; AAVE was created out of necessity to survive and poetic language was made to enhance art as experience.
Algospeak like "unalive" or "mascara" is designed-
Always wanted to redraw this panel from the adventures comic lmao

Four ushabtis of Khabekhnet (each 16.7 cm) and their box - each ushabti is 16.7 cm and made from painted limestone (1279β1213 BC). From the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
Ushabtis were ancient Egyptian funerary figurines that were placed in tombs among the grave goods. Ushabtis were meant as servants for the deceased, to do manual labor in the afterlife. Inscriptions on their bodies asserted the ushabtis' readiness to answer the gods' summons to work.

In many legends, Domdaniel is a cavern at the bottom of the ocean where sorcerers and spirits meet. In T. H. White's "The Sword in the Stone," Merlin says his duel with Madam Mim will test if Mim's magic degree from Domdaniel is superior to tutoring from Merlin's mentor Blaise.
