the thing about having your joke posts Corrected is that it's like. posting is literature and I am actually employing time honored literary devices. like these are not unheard of ways of using language. I learned about literary devices in school in sixth grade. it is not actually beyond the pale to have an expectation that the general public will have some understanding of e.g. hyperbole or metaphor. every time people talk about this phenomenon they're like "well it's the autism website of course people are taking you literally" HELLO I AM ALSO AUTISM. HAVE YOU TRIED KNOWING MORE FACTS ABOUT THE USE OF LANGUAGE?

not interested in getting involved in the rest of this discussion, for the most part, but to me this is a GREAT piece of advice that many people these days don't seem to be getting or understanding.

not everyone you meet or interact with is your friend, the requirements and expectations for respectful behaviour between friends is not the same as between strangers.

was trying to quickly look up a quote I like by Kepler about the historical relationship between astrology and mathematics (“Mother Astronomy would certainly starve if the daughter Astrology did not earn their bread”) but got one of my funnier Google AI hallucinations I’ve personally seen instead

It was a bit less funny when I remembered that on three different occasions in the last two months somebody on Reddit has argued something abjectly false to me because “Google says so”…

it does still make me insane specifically how many queer people lovingly embrace astrology. I went to a poetry workshop yesterday that was genuinely quite good but also included an option to disclose astrology designations during introductions and so many people broke out some variation of "I'm a [x] sum but I have a [y] placement and it SHOWS" girl no it doesn't. that's meaningless correlation you completely invented the causation

I love the idea of a roomba topography map being the jumping on point for a liminal horror story. House of Leaves II: Roomba.

bro i have now seen several kiramman stans/arcane fans call "the gray" non-lethal. like do you mean the gray from the fissures? the gas so bad that cassandra kiramman built air ducts to keep it out? the gas that caused people to die en mass back in the day? the gas that gave viktor cancer and caused anyone who inhaled it to choke and not breathe? that non-lethal grey?? do y'all not know that you can still die of brain damage days and even weeks after being choked for a short time? those guys choked so hard they cried premium tears and passed out and you think they didn't die? lmao? even if they didn't die that day, most of them would be dead within the month. like how long do you think it would take for the air to clear out? a couple hours? do y'all seriously not understand anything about bio-chemical warfare?

idc if the writers themselves called it non-lethal (which i haven't seen), you don't wield a weapon like that without mass casualties. bio-chemical warfare does damage that lasts generations. the zaunites simply don't have the resources to reverse any damage cait did to their environment and bodies by letting those gases loose for that amount of time. these aren't people with air conditioning in their house. they live in slums tightly packed together, close to the factories where the gasses were trapped. half of them are already starving and sick.

realistically, many of them would die of horrible diseases in a couple of decades if they survived suffocation/contaminated air. "they weren't gassing up all the neighbourhoods." zaun is ONE city.

it makes me sick how so many people are downplaying it. like of all the things to treat lightly, this shit isn't one of them. especially for a damn ship.

it's fucking abysmal out here

Actually no one should be having sex. All of us are aged-up minors and the passage of time is inherently problematic

χαῖρε my name is Henry Arist'otle Divine Ecstasy Winter and I have icy blue eyes like limpid tears (that's how I got my name) and ebony black hair and a lot of people tell me I look like Julian Morrow (AN: if u don’t know who he is get da hell out of here!). I’m not related to Camilla Macaulay but I wish I was because she’s a major fucking hottie. I have pale white skin. I’m also a student, and I go to a private school called Hampden College in Vermont where I’m in the third year (I’m twenty-one). I’m a Classics academic (in case you couldn’t tell) and I wear mostly black. For example today I was wearing a black jacket with a matching starchy white shirt under it and black pants, a black umbrella and black Oxfords. I was walking outside Hampden. It was snowing and raining so there was no sun, which I was very happy about. A lot of hoi polloi stared at me. I put up my middle finger at them.

i saw someone say that they were missing viktor's weekly death scenes and it made me realize that it really WAS every week that he died. he'd literally show up for 10 minutes every act, serve cunt, and then get fucking murdered again no wonder season 2 was so despair inducing i was feeling a new wave of grief every fucking week

Every 21st century piece of writing advice: Make us CARE about the character from page 1! Make us empathize with them! Make them interesting and different but still relatable and likable!

Every piece of classic literature: Hi. It's me. The bland everyman whose only purpose is to tell you this story. I have no actual personality. Here's the story of the time I encountered the worst people I ever met in my life. But first, ten pages of description about the place in which I met them.
