This is my first time using the panel layout for this thumbnail, I think it went well, but you can tell me what you think. I also included a regular thumbnail so you can decide which one is better. I decided to go all out and create and OST design too. Anyway, onto the connections for why I believe this matchup really works.

Connections:

• Moonstone, Karla Sofen, and Star Sapphire, Carol Ferris, are both characters empowered by extraterrestrial objects, those of course being Moonstone's Gravity Stone and Star Sapphire's Violet Lantern Ring.
• Both grant very similar abilities, with flight, super strength, super speed, enhanced durability, energy projection and manipulation putting them both on cosmic levels.
• Both were also created by alien races, with the Gravity Stone being created by the Kree and the Violet Lantern Ring being created by the Zamarons.
• Coincidentally, both are named after real stones.
• Both Karla and Carol have rivalries involving legacy heroes, who are also professional pilots for the airforce, with Captain Marvel for Moonstone and Green Lantern for Star Sapphire.
• Both are known to be extremely ruthless. (Especially as villains).
• Both have had complex histories playing both hero and villain.
• In an interesting contrast, Moonstone has had trouble going straight and usually reverts back to being a villain, whereas Star Sapphire has had arguably greater success as a hero than a villain.
• Both have played major roles in villain teams, with Karla being an important member of The Masters of Evil and Carol being a part of the Injustice League. They would both then go on to join hero teams during their tenures, with Karla being a part of the Thunderbolts and Carol joining the Justice League and the Violet Lantern Corps.
• They have also had a myriad of different costumes and outfits throughout their histories of switching sides and allegiances.

Well, I never thought I'd see Shrek on snything Disney related. Is this some kind of new deal they struck? I thought Dreamworks and Illumination were under Universal who have Peacock or NOW? Is it like this for other parts of the world? I'm in Ireland, so I'm not sure if this is an exclusive thing here.

Made this a while ago. Thought I would share it to this sub.

I had this idea for a long time. I know this is an old meme, but I just had to make it.

I finally managed to beat Fire Red. I had the game on Gameboy, but never beat it. Here's my team in the Hall of Fame. How do you rate my team?

Literally the first ever time I have come across an identical Mega Lucario with the exact same CP, which means it is not only 100 IV and fully powered up, but also a best friend and currently the buddy of the opposing trainer, just like mine. 😆

Hey guys, for the past year now I've been attempting to put together a cohesive Canaanite Creation Myth from various sources. After so long, I thought I would finally post my version here for your opinions. Firstly, I need to explain a few things through this introduction first.

Firstly, the Creation Myth itself, now the informed among you is probably asking, “What Creation Myth?” This is because it has been well known that the Canaanite Creation Myth has been long lost to time, with not one aspect of it surviving to modern day, or at least that is what it seems. In my research I found out the Phoenician Cosmology had been found, mostly intact. For those unaware, the Phoenicians were, culturally, identical to the Canaanites, right down to the exact same Gods and Religious practices being common in both cultures. The Phoenicians are largely considered to be the Iron Age continuation to the Bronze Age Canaanites. 

However, I will be the first to note that including the Phoenician Creation Myth as part of this compilation is flawed. Firstly, the only record we have of the Creation Myth is from Philo of Byblos, a Greek writer who is believed to have lived from 64AD to 141AD. He supposedly translated the texts and writings of Sanchoniathon of Berytian, a Phoenician author, whose works only survive today through Philo of Byblos. It can be understood that Philo of Byblos gave, not only a Greek flavour to the Creation Myth, but also seems to have syncretised the Phoenician and Canaanite Gods with the Greek ones, but he also uses Greek names for several ancestral characters that would obviously have had more appropriate Levantine names. The icing on top is that Philo of Byblos’ writings on the Phoenician Creation Myth are only preserved through the writings of the Christian bishop, Eusebius, who lived during the third century AD, which is another cultural perspective that needed to be sorted through.

Let it be known that while writing the Cosmology of the book, I did my best to remove the Greek names of the Gods and replace them with their Canaanite equivalent, however I was unable to do so in certain cases for some figures mentioned as, if there was a Canaanite equivalent, it has been long forgotten. As part of the narrative, after going through the Creation Myth, Philo of Byblos also includes the legendary descendants of the Canaanite people, however as you can guess, their names are all Hellenised and are clearly Greek names and we have no source for the original Canaanite names these characters would have had. However, once again, I decided to include it with the Greek names, not just because of its sense of creating a more unified narrative, but also due to the rich content contained within it. It is also worth noting that other Mythologies have had no choice but to use phrases, terms and names in their Mythological compilations since there is no other option available. The Kalevala has many Christianised elements and names that were altered to Christian adaptation of the original myths and Irish Mythology often contains many Anglicised aspects due to colonialisation and let us not forget the Romanised aspects of Greek Mythology.

Other sources I used for creating a more complete narrative were "Problems and Solutions Concerning First Principles" by Damascius, "Cosmotheologies" by Robert Shaw M. A. and Ernest Renan's various studies of Phoenician Mythology. Please let it be known that Renan, true to his time, esposed many antisemitic views and prejudices. I do not agree with, nor promote those views, I only use his work as a way to help my creation of this reconstruction.

Let it be known though, that the final climactic segment of El's war against Shamayim is largely my creation in terms of it's content. Sanchuniathon's account does mention Chronos and Uranos, El and Shamayim's Greek equivalents, engage in a battle with leads to Chronos usurping Uranos. The segment reads similarly to other pantheon succession myths, like The Theogony and The Enuma Elish.

While I am almost certain that the original Canaanite version would have been markedly different than the narrative I wrote in this compilation, I do believe it is important to record. As such I decided to reconstruct a Creation Myth from various sources, similar to how authors such as Peter Berresford Ellis have tried to reconstruct a Celtic Creation Myth, despite no surviving Myth being available.

Does anyone know, in terms of the story, was there any reason as to why the original hub area wasn't used later on? It wasn't just Parrot's base, but it seems everyone else's base was here too. Did the area get attacked or destroyed or did they just abandon it?

Hey guys, this is my first ever Roblox project. I'm not a programmer or a coder, as such I'm having a hard time achieving what I want.

For my first ever project, I recreated one of my favourite episodes from The Simpsons called "Homer^3" from Treehouse of Horror VI. As you can see from the Screenshots, I've done well in recreating the environment of the Third Dimension from the episode. However, if you've seen the episode, you'll know that Homer accidentally triggers a black hole to form and the dimension starts to collapse in on itself. If anyone has seen the episode, do you know how to pull this off, or if it is even possible?
