This is my current brainrot

Re-watching the Battle City arc, and all I can focus on is the utter insanity of being a regular person trying to do your regular person job in the Yu-gi-oh-verse

While talking with the Hobbits, Tom Bombadil puts on the One Ring. For a moment, all of the Nazgul burst into merry song. It is never discussed among them again.

October was a beautiful month at Green Gables, when the birches in the hollow turned as golden as sunshine and the maples behind the orchard were royal crimson and the wild cherry trees along the lane put on the loveliest shades of dark red and bronzy green, while the fields sunned themselves in aftermaths.

— L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables

This is amazing. I'm crying.

Hi my name is Eugenides Eugenideides Attolis and I'm a thief (that's how I got my name) and I have short black hair and eyes like pools of darkness and a lot of people tell me I look like Eugenides (AN: if you don't know who he is get da hell out of here!) I'm related to Helen Eddis but I wish I wasn't because she's super ugly. I'm Eddisian but I'm short and don't have any tattoos. I have dark skin. I'm also a king, and I live in a megaron in Attolia with my wife (she's Attolia). I dress in colors that would suit a canary (in case you couldn't tell) and I wear mostly bright colors. For example today I was wearing a yellow Mede style coat with a blue sash and soft soled boots with gold dust in the tooling. I was walking in the gardens outside the megaron. A bunch of barons stared at me. I threw an inkpot at them.

Genuine question for the world at large: How do you handle it when you compliment someone on their outfit or something and they tell you they got it on Shein or Temu? or suggest you buy things from them? I'm talking coworkers, casual social acquaintances, etc. Not family members or close friends who are already well aware of my views.

I don't want to be preachy or shame people (especially when I know money is tight for them), but am I wrong every time I choke down a "you realize the only way they can sell it for that cheap is because it's made with slave labor" and awkwardly change the subject instead?

My name is so common, and has the most common spelling, that I am used to people getting it right. This is all about to end, though, because my fiance has a VERY unusual spelling of his last name, and he has to spell it for people all the time, and deal with it being wrong in databases and registrations.

iykyk-

For example, if you're speaking to a receptionist at a medical practice or calling idk your insurance company

I was going to specify "the first time" but then I realized I'm actually more likely to spell my name automatically if I know they're looking it up in a set of records

[starryeyed0590]

I mean yes, multiple times by multiple people, but they were all under the age of four XD

(I have also been bitten by nonwhite people under the age of four. Less frequently, but more of my family members are white, so)

Instead of doing NanoWriMo I will be doing something where I try to aim for writing an actual average of 400 words a day for the month of November in memory of Terry Pratchett, who as far as I know never thought telling a computer to write a book for you is a good way to hone your skills as a writer.

Microsoft Word - have dipped my toes into Google Docs, but I mostly use that for work, and I have this crippling fear of mixing my accounts up and my boss seeing my spicy fics.

plz reblog for science

stating to think there’s an inverse correlation between how good media is and how easily fandomizable it is 😁

This is absolutely amazing. I love all of this SO much

You know the Grimm version of Snow White makes more sense than most versions if only because in that version Snow White was like 7 years old.

wait, this isn't a shit-post, but an insightful, entirely accurate take???

Bilbo’s greatest quote

The Hobbit is, at its heart, about Bilbo Baggin’s transformation from someone who is purely a Baggins to someone who is both a Baggins and a Took. As he adventures with the dwarves he becomes more and more Took (largely eclipsing his Baggins side though that never wholly leaves him), until near the end of his story he reaches a peaceful equilibrium - he retires back to the Shire, but remains “Mad Baggins,” and is more eccentric and worldly than ever. Near the end of the book, there is a single sentence than captures this best. 

“If ever you are passing my way,” said Bilbo, “don’t wait to knock! Tea is at four; but any of you are welcome at any time!”

Bilbo’s adventure began with an unexpected party. And he is ending it, saying that he’s still going to be living in that same, comfortable Hobbit hole. He will still be drinking tea at four. He’s not off on any more quests. But now he’s welcoming to visitors, and travelers, and their stories. He is still a Baggins. But he is at peace with his Took side, as well.

I already pre-ordered this book, but the trailer makes me so hyped!

My publisher just out of the blue sent me an animated trailer for my book?? WHAAT??!!

I didn't care too much about the details of the ring, but it was important to me that it not be a new diamond (I was fine with lab/moissanite/colored stone/vintage etc.), but we didn't actually have a conversation about it. Little did I know that when my aunt had passed away a few years ago, my mother had inherited her ring and put it aside with me in mind. She and my now-fiance discussed it without me ever finding out.

I was completely blindsided by the proposal in the best possible way, and I love my ring so much. It suits me perfectly - the cut, the color, the size, everything! I wouldn't have even known to ask for everything that it is.

question about engagement rings for women in my computer because I wonder if there have been cultural shifts about this. It seems like in the past it was more common for women to want higher levels of surprise but nowadays more women want to "shop together"

*This is not including the proposal itself or the discussion of plans for your relationship, just the design of the ring. E.g., if you pick the first option that doesn't mean you haven't discussed marriage at all and it's a total shock, it just means you weren't involved in picking the style of ring

The Thief is a great read that I really enjoyed!

every book in the series that followed it made me deranged and I mean that in the most positive way possible
