The Forgotten Manuscript
In the shadowed, forgotten corners of the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana in Venice, where history whispers secrets through the dust motes dancing in shafts of light, young librarian Elena Vittori made a discovery that could alter the fabric of time itself. Buried beneath a pile of ancient, neglected manuscripts in a section of the attic long deemed too precarious for frequent visits, her fingers brushed against parchment that felt charged with a strange energy. It was a manuscript unlike any she had seen before, adorned with sketches and writings that hinted at a genius mind. The signature at the bottom of the page sent a shiver down her spine: Leonardo da Vinci.

As a Millennial watching this documentary series this really ruined my childhood for many reasons. As an adult, all these skits, and jokes I thought were harmless were actually extremely dark jokes, and sexual innuendos. I never thought Nickelodeon would do this. However, all of us know about the Hollywood industry is very dark, and merky.

Marielle SabbagPublished about a month ago in GeeksEmbracing the Resurgence of Witchcraft:
In a world increasingly dominated by technology and fast-paced living, there's an intriguing renaissance quietly unfolding—a return to the ancient practices of witchcraft. But this resurgence isn't about casting spells or conjuring potions in a cauldron under the moonlight (though that's part of the mystique). It's about reconnecting with the Earth, embracing natural healing, and fostering sustainable living through the wild ways of our ancestors.

Jay KobayashiPublished 2 months ago in GeeksPalWorld Doesn't Sit Right With Me
PalWorld leaves a sour taste in my mouth. There, I said it. Listen, I think that Nintendo are the bad guys in most situations. They shut down ROM creators who make some of the best takes on Pokemon games, they crank out uninspired mainline Pokemon games year after year, they make it difficult—even impossible sometimes—to acquire their best games from their golden age legally or cost-effectively, and they keep remaking Kanto. I won’t get on PalWorld’s case for being uncreative in a lot of their Pal designs. A lot of them are uncreative, I agree, and several of them are derivative of vastly superior Pokemon designs. The game was marketed as “Pokemon With Guns.” It’s going to happen a lot.

JRManglicmotPublished 3 months ago in GeeksStain's Principle
In the rich tapestry of hero narratives within the realm of manga and anime, few characters have left as profound an impact as Stain, the enigmatic antagonist from Kohei Horikoshi's "My Hero Academia." Stain's principle, a belief system centered around the purification of heroism through the elimination of "fake" heroes, is a moral and philosophical cornerstone that challenges the very foundation of the hero society portrayed in the series. Despite his radical methods, Stain's unwavering respect for All Might, the symbol of peace, adds a layer of complexity to his character. This essay endeavors to dissect Stain's principle, exploring its ideological underpinnings, its implications within the world of "My Hero Academia," and the paradoxical nature of Stain's respect for All Might.
