We are not one bit closer to solving any of the Great Mysteries of Life than were our ancestors thousands of years ago. Cheerful friggin' truth, eh?

Eléphantôme (nm) : Apparition ou vision interprétée comme la manifestation de l'esprit d'un éléphant mort. La recrudescence du braconnage en Afrique centrale a notamment pour conséquence que le cimetière des éléphants ne dispose plus d'emplacement libre.Ce qui expliquerait les témoignages de plus en plus nombreux d'ectoplasmes pachydermiques errant la trompe en berne dans ce vaste monde, de Zanzibar à Westerloo en passant par l'Ecosse et même le nord de la Finlande.
Okay, so we stopped to look around an old cemetary and I snapped a few pictures. All were "normal" and very boring. But this one has some haze... not sure if it is just the sun shining or something more. Feel free to speculate and let me know your thoughts! My only edits were to lighten the levels, crop it in tighter, and circled the "haze". View large or original size.

May have: been the person who unknowingly changed Karn the Inheritor
Outcast for the better thus motivating Karn to fight his Inheritor
siblings alongside the Spiderfolk and ultimately become Master Weaver
which may have partially influenced Karn to make Michael Mercreus a
Spider Totem.
Mutant (1) and Inhuman (2) Traits:
1A) Omega Level Mutant Psychometry: This Psionic ability is brought forth by
Strand-Weaver's Mutant ancestry allows him to see the history of an
object based on the psychic imprint left behind. When paired with
Strand-Weaver's ability to wield para-causal Spider magic he can
manifest the memory of not just ordinary objects but also manifest
physical parts of locations that would allow travel to off-limit areas
that can't be accessed in the present day due to cave-ins, remodeling
that blocks off areas, or like thereof similar to the Deepsight
ability introduced in the Witch Queen Expansion of Destiny 2. This
ability also allows Strand-Weaver to render an entire blueprint of a
weapon/piece of tech
even if it's nothing more than a piece of scrap metal. Once the
Deepsight Resonance is completed Strand-Weaver then can remake that
weapon/piece of tech either exactly the way it was or make modified
versions of that weapon/piece of tech.
1B) Limited Basic Level Psionics: This ability is brought forth by
Strand-Weaver's Mutant ancestry. This ability is limited in terms of
potency and is only used as a way to communicate with others while
Strand-Weaver is
in his "Awoken Spider" form
2) Inhuman Transformation Ability of Arachnetrophy: This transformation
ability brought forth by Strand-Weaver's Inhuman ancestry, which may
have been influenced partially by the Spider Magic/Terigen
Mist-infused spider that bit Michael Mercreus, allows him to transform
at will into a four-armed humanoid spider similar to Six-Armed
Spider-Man but with two fewer arms, and has blue skin like the Awoken
race from Destiny 1&2, Digitigrade legs with poisonous ankle barbs, a
split open lower jaw similar to the Reaper vampire from the 2002 movie
Blade 2 with fangs that are laced with fast-acting non-toxic venom,
and three Hive Acolyte eyes like Eris Morn from Destiny 1&2. This
"Awoken Spider" allows Strand-Weaver to have the following powers and
physical attributes:
2A) Wall-crawl up and climb onto vertical surfaces due to the
electrostatic adhesion abilities of spiders.
2B) Poisonous fangs lining a split open lower jaw similar to the Reaper breed of
vampire from the Wesley Snipes 2002 Blade II movie and ankle barbs
that secrete poison. The fangs in Strand-Weaver's split-open lower jaw and
the ankle barbs on his legs are strong enough to penetrate the skin of
the Hulk and secrete a strong fast-acting non-toxic venom that is
strong enough to knock out even Wolverine.
2C) Enhanced precognitive danger sense which functions on a higher level than
the female Spider Totem Silk due to participating in intensive battle
training regiments with both the New Mutant team of Krakoa and the
West Coast Avengers. This training is what grants Strand-Weaver a
level of precognition in battle allowing him to accurately know how
best to take down an opponent.
2D) Regenerative healing factor on par with Deadpool that allows
Strand-Weaver to grow back organs and in some cases entire limbs
without the skin-scarring consequences that Deadpool has.
2E) Enhanced strength, durability, reflexes 40x faster than the average
human, and Olympic gymnast-grade agility. While in "Awoken Spider"
form Michael Mercreus can lift 15 times his body weight, while in
comparison his human form can bench 5 times his weight.
2F) Organic webs that are generated thru his four forearms and channeled
thru the armored chemical dispensing/Spider magic focusing gauntlets
Michael Mercreus wears that has the added ability to drain magical
energy.
2G) Magical third eye that allows Michael Mercreus to perceive the
thoughts and emotions of those around him and enables him to use
higher forms of para-causal Spider magic normally out of reach of
certain individuals.
2H) Pheromone and Scent control allows Michael Mercreus to mask his scent
from the most well-trained individuals the likes of Wolverine and
Kraven the Hunter. Can also unintentionally attract females of almost
any species including Kree, Skrall, cryptids, and even those of
supernatural origins. It probably doesn't help that Michael Mercreus
is a tad bit body shy and feels insecure about how he feels like said
females are only interested in his jacked-up metahuman physique and
not his loveable personality quirks.
2I) Strong sense of equilibrium that allows Michael Mercreus to stand
upright even when upside down on ceilings. Sense of equilibrium is on
par with Earth 982 version of Spider-Girl May "Mayday" Parker
2J) Enhanced disease and toxin immunity brought forth by Michael
Mercreus's Spider Totem enhanced immune system allows Michael Mercreus
in both his human form and "Awoken Spider" form to have a better
immune response to diseases and toxins that would otherwise kill
normal individuals. This also allows Michael the ability to fight for
longer periods of time due to his body not producing the normal amount
of fatigue toxin of regular people which means it takes longer for his
body to feel tired.
3)Skills and abilities acquired and utilized over the years
3A)Genius Level Intellect: IQ of 119 allows Michael Mercreus to create
and reverse engineer any manner of tech he needs to overcome any
situation. Owns his genius intellect to an advanced mentorship
training program with Parker Industries that is run thru Horizon
University. Michael Mercreus is able to retain most of his higher
brain functions while he's in his "Awoken Spider" form thanks in part
to telepathic mental training with Charles Xavier
3B)Full Spider-Magic Mastery; Michael Mercreus is a master of Spider-Magic
derived from the Web of Life and Destiny which allows him to create
webs made of para-causal energy that work similarly to the Strand
subclass from Destiny 2 Lightfall. Michael Mercreus is also able to
create portals to (almost) any/every location in the Marvel
multiverse. Michael Mercreus was taught the ways of Spider magic thru
Doctor Strange's Strange Academy on Earth 616 where he learned most of
but not just limited to the following kinds of spells and
incantations:
3Ba) Herbal healing spells of the highest caliber
3Bb) Every manner of spiritual cleansing spells
3Bc) Astral projection and defensive spells to use while astral
projecting against dark magic users
3Bd) Extra-dimensional/multiversal portal conjuring
3Be) Binding spells that disorient and slow down foes
3C) Michael Mercreus is an expert chemist who has mastered the utility
of every element available in the Marvel Comics Periodic Table of
Elements. Michael utilizes this knowledge while he is bonded to the
Insomnia symbiote by using its chemokinesis abilities to create the
solutions he needs to overcome any situation
3D) Mastery of the Martial Arts style called the Way of the Spider (1d)
which was taught to Michael Mercreus by a Shang-Chi variant from Earth
TRN 1050. Michael Mercreus is also proficient at the Mexican fighting
style of lucha libre and the Afro-Brazillian fighting style of
capoeira (1e)
3E) Excellent cooking skills which help him make good home-cooked
meals for both himself and his allies. Trust the words of all the
Spiderfolk who've eaten his meals when they say that Michael Mercreus
knows his way around the kitchen and can make a guy/girl feel they're
eating meals that taste as authentic as the real deal of their native
universe.
4) Insomnia Symbiote Powers and Abilities:
4A) Pathogen & Toxin Curing: this ability borrowed from the genetic makeup
of the Anti-Venom symbiote allows Insomnia to create antibodies to
virtually any disease, toxin, and poison both natural and man-made.
Enables Insomnia to purge symbiotes from unwilling hosts by inducing
an immune response in the unwilling host's body making the body of
said host inhospitable for a Klyntar symbiote to stay bonded to.
4B) Chemokinesis: This trait borrowed from the genetic makeup of the
Sleeper symbiote allows the Insomnia symbiote to be capable of
producing liquid and aerosol chemicals with a variety of effects -
including inducing various emotional states, tranquilizing targets,
psychological manipulation, and secreting corrosive chemicals for
offensive purposes. This also affords it a form of telepathy, using
pheromones to interject its thoughts into others' minds This also
grants it a superior cloaking ability to other symbiotes, generating
pheromones to almost completely mask its presence. It is also capable
of using chemokinesis as a means of rocket propulsion, enabling it to
traverse space, and produce acid. Strand-Weaver often employs this
ability of Insomnia by wearing a specialized set of gauntlets that
were built to dispense the chemicals that Insomnia secretes. The
gauntlets are also enhanced with Loomworld tech that allows
Strand-Weaver better control over the Spider magic spells he uses in
battle.
4C) Invisibility: This trait borrowed from the genetic makeup of the
Sleeper symbiote allows Insomnia to turn it and its host invisible at
will allow for more stealth-based strategies.
4D) Camouflage Capabilities: Like many symbiotes, the Insomnia symbiote
can shift its physiological semblance into a host of different shapes
and forms i.e. mimicking forms of clothing, camouflaging with its
surroundings, emulating other people's visages, etc. What makes this
particular Symbiote unique is its ability to manipulate ambient light
in order to become invisible. This in conjunction with using its
hormone abilities enables it to confuse the sensory systems of others,
thereby making it the perfect stalker.
4E) Sound and Fire Immunity: This trait borrowed from the genetic makeup
of the Anti-Venom symbiote grant the Insomnia symbiote complete immunity
from the traditional weaknesses of normal Klyntar symbiotes
4F) Offshoot Generation: This trait borrowed from the genetic makeup of
the Sleeper symbiote allows Insomnia to be capable of being separated
into offshoot symbiotes that can be bonded to other hosts while being
remotely piloted by the main one. It can also use self-assembling,
remote-resonant ectoplasm to create a working copy of itself while
doing another thing on the sidelines
4G) Enhanced visual sense, strength, stamina, speed, reflexes, and danger
sense: This trait borrowed from both the Anti-Venom and Sleeper
symbiote increases the inherent power of the user making the host
faster, stronger, and more durable than the average superpowered
individual of the host's species. This also allows the host of the Insomnia
symbiote the ability to see things even Heimdall the gatekeeper of
Asgard can't see.
5)Design notes of things I want in the final design
5A)The color of the Insomnia symbiote's Bio-mass is White due to the
Anti-Venom symbiote's genetic makeup combined with the green striping
that the Sleeper symbiote has which form the outline of
Strand-Weaver's Spider logo on his suit.
5B) An armored look of Strand-Weaver bonded to the Insomnia symbiote looks
like a four-armed Sleeper Agent with armored gauntlets and back
assembly Sleeper Agent has combined with armor tech designs from
Destiny 1 & 2.
5C) Armor of Sleeper Agent I want to have mashed up with Destiny 1&2 armor
incorporated into the combined Spider/sym sona(1a):

5D) The kind of legs I want Strand-Weaver's "Awoken Spider" form to have:

5E) amount of eyes I want Strand-Weaver's "Awoken Spider" form to have:
www.destinypedia.com/Eris_Morn
5F) Anti-Venom biomass color scheme I want the Insomnia symbiote to have
plus the Sleeper symbiote green stripes:
marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Anti-Venom_(Symbiote)_(Earth-616)
5G) same body type I want Strand-Weaver's 'Awoken Spider" to be, minus two
arms, plus add to the design the addition of the digitigrade legs,
split open lower jaw, blue Awoken skin, and three Hive Acolyte eyes of
Eris Morn:
marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Peter_Parker_(Earth-92100)
5H) Sleeper Symbiote green stripes and eye pattern I want in the Insomnia
symbiote design:
marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Sleeper_(Symbiote)_(Earth-616)
5I) Split open jaws of Reaper vampire that I want a similar look of in
Michael Mercreus's "Awoken Spider" form:
marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Reapers_(Race)
5J) Destiny 2 Lightfall Strand subclass of which I want
Strand-Weaver's para-causal webs created by his Spider magic to behave
similarly to (and I want them to work outside of just web-swinging to
another spot in his location):
www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgv00uCRt60
5K) Deepsight ability from Destiny 2's Witch Queen Expansion that I
want Strand-Weaver's Psychometry to behave like when paired with his
ability to use Spider magic:

6) Early concept art of the two separate characters
6A) Early rough draft of OC Inhuman/Mutant Spidersona Strand-Weaver and
Symbiotesona Anti-Venom/Sleeper hybrid symbiote Insomnia:

6B) Early rough draft of Strand-Weaver's "Awoken Spider" form:
drive.google.com/file/d/14t5dSOz9YZclyBnTDYUERbZIArsLperj...
(1a) Whatever armor Exotic or Legendary from Destiny 1 or 2 you feel would incorporate well into the design of the Sleeper Agent's wearable chemical/biological warfare gauntlets and back apparatus from the August 2022 issue of Venom I will leave that decision up to you to figure out.
(1b) Strand-Weaver is able to bond with the Anti-Venom/Sleeper hybrid symbiote Insomnia and retain his "Awoken Spider" powers due to the fact that his powers aren't radiation-based.
(1c) For the human form of Michael Mercreus use a brown-haired version of the actor Daniel Radcliffe as the depiction. Have any conversations Michael Mercreus has that comments about how he looks like Harry Potter ends with him getting mad at that individual who said that? Given his mixed Mormon upbringing which told him that Harry Potter was of the Devil and the movie/book series was spreading messages of behaviors and sexuality that were not accepted by Christian folks in Ohio, messages including mutants that ultimately led Michael to make the move to the state of New York in the first place. It was a viewpoint Michael was blindly following the path of for a while before he became the Inhuman/Mutant hybrid Strand-Weaver, would still get annoyed when people compare his good looks to Harry Potter.

of the Spider:

(1e) Here is a video talking about the other fighting styles Michael
Mercreus knows:
again I saw this `mist` swirling about 1 foot away from me for the second time this evening. There are probably 3 critters looking at the horse from the right.
Dam House Astley Lancashire England The Long Gallery.
While taking photographs on a visit to Dam House I found these light anomalies on downloading the photographs, one the green light could be lens flare, but I did,nt see the bright light at the top of the old window when I took the photograph, so what are they?
This year I made Joey a cake. It's nothing special, but I worked very hard on it. The cake is filled with ectoplasm (green tinted vanilla pudding).
Please ignore the ghetto cake tray with the crack. LOL!
This is my friend Mark and we're at some club where Yoshimoto is plying. I'm shooting the band so I have my DSLR.
