Honestly, this sounds fucking FANTASTIC to me, and we should do it. Cry harder, Mitch.

ALSO shout out to Tamora Pierce for humanizing the bandits Kel fights. She does this in Trickster’s Choice too, where bandits are explicitly shown to be poor people with few options and starving families.

the energy of The Seven campaign is so slumber party/bathroom talk and it makes me so proud to be a teen girl disaster

Also may God grant the misplaced confidence of Lando Norris because imagine Sir Lewis Hamilton COMPLIMENTING YOU, saying wow you're so fast!!!! And you snipe back at him "you were fast 7 years ago" and he verbatim has to explain to you he's not complaining and it was instead a compliment 😐

it's important to mock and belittle military and law enforcement to signal to others that these are not respectable professions, both to dissuade entry and to devalorize the institutions in the public eye

part of what makes tragedies tragic is the story being preventable from the outside but unpreventable from the inside

Concept: in a setting where vampires exist and can only be harmed by symbols of faith (crucifixes, etc.), a James Randi-style skeptic/supernatural debunker witnesses his family murdered by vampires, and dedicated his life to hunting down what he believes are a cabal of ordinary serial killers with a blood fetish and some cheap plastic fangs. They die when he shoots them with an ordinary gun, granted holy status by the sheer force of his belief that they are actually just ordinary humans who will die when shot.

I've been trying to start Making Money for a while now, but I am currently reading it. I am in it now. I am invested.

And I would like to say that thing about the golems in Going Postal that didn't quite click for me just has. Because of Gladys. The thing was, I related to them a lot, but couldn't figure out why; I am not a massive living clay person with a furnace inside. But I have become a commodity as a means of completing work for money. The golems are all made to work and they don't know how to do anything else. Even their days off are... empty. Their relief is literally not doing anything. They are all always working or doing nothing.

Even Gladys. In fact, especially Gladys. What made this really click for me is that being a woman is, in fact, Gladys' job. It is her second job after being a postal worker.

I was born to, presumably, work. To be a person. To be male. I was born to do these things. But I like golems, I can never not do all of these things. When I take a break I am still expected to do many of the jobs I was born to do. I am always performing. I envy that ability to do and to be nothing.

Love the bit in Going Postal where a stuck up old lady asks Moist if the golems he employs are male or female and he goes “who cares?? There’s no difference, they just want to do their job” and she’s like “well I’ve found one cleaning the ladies bathroom! He could be doing… inappropriate stuff in there” And he asks the golem with him “uh, would a golem care if he was called Miss instead of Mr” and the golem is like “not one bit lol” and he’s like “do you think Gladys would work as a name?” And the lady is like “yeah sure, as long as she’s dressed properly” and he’s like “uh, well, okay never mind, great the matter’s been resolved” and everyone goes about their day
