so you want to read the edge chronicles

i am aware that this is not a question anyone is asking. it is, however, a question i'm answering so tough! the edge chronicles, for those not in the know, is a fantasy series that takes place on a giant floating rock known as the edge which is home to a variety of species and peoples. the series follows five different generations of the same family across a timespan of hundreds of years.

it was written out of order, and the books are all standalone with recurring characters, so imo there's three ideal reading orders:

none. go ham. read the ones you want to first and then devour the rest. like i say, they're connected standalones: context helps, but it's not everything

semi-publication order: read the twig trilogy first, then read the rest in order. beyond the deepwoods was published first and it shows: the edge chronicles gets a lot messier lore-wise once it leaves the twig saga

chronological order: self-explanatory. start with curse of the gloamglozer and read the quint saga first, then twig, rook, nate, and finally cade. within the sagas, just read the books in chronological order - this should be fairly obvious

my personal recommendations within the series (if you aren't interested in committing and just want a standalone novel):

the winter knights and clash of the sky galleons are my favourites of the quint saga, but tbh they're all pretty good

midnight over sanctaphrax is by FAR my favourite of the twig saga. it's so good. second best book in the series

last of the sky pirates is my favourite of the rook saga and my favourite of the whole series - probably because it was the first one i read

the third book of the cade saga is pretty meh, but the first two are fairly solid

the lost barkscrolls is pretty good! it's an anthology of short stories and they're all typical edge chronicles fare, that is to say violent and heartbreaking

hi fe3h fandom. i come bearing another shitpost. video description under the cut

[video description: cuts from the cutscene at the end of the “reunion at the fortress city” chapter of fire emblem: three hopes, azure gleam. the footage rearranges the scene to more accurately fit the audio, which is from the sonic adventure 2 real time fandub. the video goes as follows

thales (to the voice of eggman from the realtime fabdub), “it seems you bitches have come to a standstill in tarzan’s forest. you have thirteen seconds until the island fucking explodes, you hot topic wannabe and you blue gumball son of a bitch.” when he says “hot topic wanna be”, the video shows edelgard, and when he says “you blue gumball son if a bitch”, it shows dimitri.

it cuts to a clip of thales fighting off dimitri and edelgard as the audio says, “you have done nothing but destroy my life, i hope you both die.”

it then shows dimitri, speaking in time with the audio, which (with sonic’s voice) asks, “hot topic?”

edelgard turns her head, with a timed cut to when thales unleashes the crest stone that transforms her into a dark beast, so she is turning her head to look at it. the audio says (as shadow), “no, my secret!”

the crest stone explodes into a rush of dark purple fog, and dimitri shields his face from it. edelgard is then shown being consumed by the fog. the audio continues with the dubbers talking as themselves saying: “i hope you know that’s actually what happens in the story.”

“that is a— like you literally—”

“wait, dead seriously? seriously?!”

“yeah, he literally says, ‘this island will explode’—”

“yeah, watch, watch!”

dimtri reaches out towards edelgard as she disappears. the audio says “oh my god, i didn’t know!”

the video then cuts to black. end vd.]

Things that work in fiction but not real life

torture getting reliable information out of people

knocking someone out to harmlessly incapacitate them for like an hour

jumping into water from staggering heights and surviving the fall completely intact

calling the police to deescalate a situation

rafting your way off a desert island

correctly profiling total strangers based on vibes

effectively operating every computer by typing and nothing else

ripping an IV out of your arm without consequences

i have not been able to stop thinking about this.

[id: a 4chan thread titled “noisy miners”, edited with images of dimitri houses and gilbert / gustave from fire emblem: three houses as if they are the ones making the post in the threads. dimitri is depicted as though it is during the early war phase, with the heavy shadow under his eye.

the first post, by dimitri, shows a picture of a bird and reads: “what is their fucking problem? i saw a couple of them attacking a raven yesterday.”

the second post, a reply from gilbert/gustave, reads: “Those are native Honeyeaters. Common Myna is what you mean.”

the final post, once again by dimitri, reads: “you don’t know what i mean. you don’t know anything about me. you know nothing about the thoughts that transmit through the neurons of my brain. i didn’t mean common myna because i didn’t see any common mynas. i meant noisy miners. don’t put words in my mouth again.”

Having a Minotaur Boyfriend would be so fucking funny

Like imagine crying on the couch and you hear his thunderous, big body SUV built ass footsteps approach you.

"Baby, what's wrong," he says tenderly as he rubs your shoulder.

You look up to explain how bad your day was with tears in your eyes and you fucking see this:

This is a link to help support Abdullah Al-Saghir’s (“Aboud”)’s family. He has been posting videos of his life on his older brother’s Instagram during the ongoing genocide, trying to bring awareness to the atrocities committed against him and his people. He is only 10 years old.

Here are two of his videos, with english subtitles done by @translating_gaza on Instagram.

And here is his story (read on GoFundMe)

“I am the man Abdullah Al-Saghir, 10 years old, from the city of Khan Yunis. I did not say the child because I was deprived of my childhood.

My father died when I was 7 years old. I, my family, and 8 members were displaced from our big, beautiful house, which would turn into rubble, into a tent, with a disruption in livelihood. And our life begins as hell.

Finally, Sharif, who was married one month before the war, suffered a lot when he built his house, and he did not continue to be happy with it. The house was completely demolished, and my brother Ashraf, who had a chance at the university and was first in the class, did not complete two years at the university, and the university was also demolished and his future was destroyed. My brother Ashraf, who was ambitious, and everyone helped me rebuild what the occupation destroyed in our lives.

We hope that through this support, I and my family will have a better future. The least you can do is publish the link on your social pages.”
