How does Ashaya, Soul of the Wild, interact with Blood Moon? Does it stay a mountain when it loses its ability to make itself a land, or just flicker back? Does it die due to no longer having toughness? What about other creatures turned into lands? Would they stay mountains after Ashaya leaves? What happens to them after that if then Blood Moon leaves?

ME-262

They built 1430 of the fuckers. They claimed to have downed 542 enemy aircraft. With a win-loss ratio of 0.38, jet fighter aviation was off to one hell of an auspicious start. That might seem unfair since the Allies made a point of destroying them on the ground, but when you’re so high-maintenance you can’t get out of bed to defend yourself, that’s your problem, buddy.

People can make excuses -mostly blaming Hitler- for the failure of the Me 262, but every single wunderwaffe supposedly would’ve performed better if not for Hitler. I blame the History Channel for this line of thought. I think that those people forget that without Hitler, these mad science projects probably wouldn’t have existed to begin with. It’s worth remembering that the engines were bleeding-edge tech in an experimental area of aviation, which is to say, they were complete and utter fucking trash. 

The reason people remember the Me 262 and not the Gloster Meteor are much the same as why we remember the Titanic rather than the Olympic or Britannic: we remember spectacular failures in a field far more readily than successes.
