what do you think malleus has been doing this entire time during his long absence

honestly it's kinda...mushy...how much time has actually passed in-universe, since all the dreams seem to run differently and we've been popping in and out all over the place. so I think chances are it hasn't been that long for him, and he's still getting the run-around from Lilia!

(just let Malleus destroy everything in order to trap you in an eternal dreamworld like a normal person, gosh)

ASDFKGHGKFFDK TOA IS NOT ABOUT APOLLO LEARNING TO CARE ABOUT HUMANS!!! IT'S ABOUT A LOT OF THINGS BUT IT'S NOT ABOUT THAT

I am an APOLLO fan. if I wanted a character who doesn't have 4000 years of lived experience and is a metaphysical building block of the world then I would've chosen one of the humans. get this erasure and character assassination AWAY from me

‘Oh! I must tell you, that just after we parted yesterday, I saw a young man looking at you so earnestly - I am sure he is in love with you.' Kattika coloured, and disclaimed again. Isara laughed. ‘It is very true, upon my honour, but I see how it is; you are indifferent to everybody's admiration, except that of one gentleman, who shall be nameless.’

i also think the fact that weekes wasnt out when masked empire came out also plays a lot into how the tumblr side of fandom perceives the romance which. leaves sort of a bad taste in my mouth..

The annoying thing about being interested in religion in a non religious way is that bc you're thinking about religion a lot, you say a lot of religious things sometimes ironically sometimes bc ur brain is just making connections. But bc people don't know what's in ur head, you just sound religious

I don't think that Pippin Took is not intelligent, or smart.

I think he's an incredibly bright, young hobbit with the self-preservation of any 16-year-old human who just wants to know and understand everything.

Going by the books (because I love Pippin in the books), it's fairly clear that he quite clever, just reckless and very, very curious to the point that not knowing something is an irritating itch that he just has to scratch.

To me, Pippin seems like the kind of child who was told that he asked too many questions and needed to sit down and be quiet, which led to him seeking answers himself, regardless of how dangerous it might seem. Hence dropping the stone down the well (who doesn't want to see how deep a very dark pit goes?), touching the palantír (in his defense, he didn't really want to but he felt something pulling him towards it. Whether it was his curiosity or something ulterior in the palantír is up for interpretation in my mind), even joining the conspiracy to uncover what Frodo was really doing when he sold Bag End.

Pippin is just someone who craves knowledge and is unafraid to go and find answers himself, probably because everyone constantly tells him that he asks too many questions and that he can't possibly wish to know everything.

something so humbling about knowing that there are others who love your fave way more than you do and that’s okay.

I cannot stress this enough, but using The Untamed/CQL to “contextualize” the novel mdzs is like using the movie Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief (2010) to understand the Percy Jackson and the Olympians book series. American readers know…

Spent so so so much time talking today during CoS because Wyn is the defacto face and I still feel like I could go for longer. I love this game so goddamn much that even when I'm having to do so much of the heavy lifting, I don't even mind it because the lore is so interesting and the characters are so good and the DM is so much fun to play with, UGH. WISH I COULD BE PLAYING AGAIN.

That said, WOOF what a lore dump today. We learned some very interesting things about the original inhabitants of the valley from an extremely firsthand source, and his retelling of things was... harrowing. Which was a stark contrast to the wizard spending the entire conversation just staring at him because he was hot.

The Scoundrel says they would never dare to keep overdue library books. They're a bat of the people! A beloved and respected patron of the arts! They would never in a million years dare to do something as despicable as stealing from a library!!

Which is of course, to say. Well.

Let's just say they've hoarded more than a few very particular books in their time, and a certain bookish coworker of theirs hates them for a reason. They do finish all of them though... admittedly whilst adding them to their own collection without permission. But they do finish them!!

As for how many they have? Let's just guesstimate and say at least five and a half. The half is all that remains of a poetry book after they accidentally breathed correspondence on it and they're really embarrassed and still trying to cover their crime up to this day. It's been months. The library knows their sins. They're literally a book criminal.

The Scientist on the other hand is a model library citizen. Like. He's the kind of guy librarians dream of. He visits pretty much every week, checks out a dozen books at a time, returns them all long before their due date, etc. He's a huge book nerd. He loves those things more than life itself. Admittedly he values his life at approximately 0.000000000001 cents maximum so pretty much everything has more life value by comparison-

Clears throat. Ahem. I mean.

Caeru has books. A lot of books. He loves books. If he's not committing murder or trying to throw himself off a cliff, he's usually tucked away in a corner reading some 1,000 page novel about the most boring subject you can think of. He is the archetypical nerd. He would get shoved in lockers if he could. He's such a loser and I love him dearly. He has million library books, all day, every day, and the only reason he doesn't have more is because he physically can't carry them all with his stupid skinny little nerd arms.

The Songbird is... actually just a normal guy. He goes to the library when he feels like it, and doesn't when he doesn't. He has no particular preference for or against it, it's just something he does sometimes. He doesn't tend to finish a lot of books on account of having "other things" (crimes) to "occupy his time" (more crimes) but like. All-around, he's just sorta vibing with it.

And also he has one (1) overdue library book that he stole from a little humble shop on the surface two years ago and to this day he lays awake at night fearing that the Library Police™ will come and wring him by the neck for his crimes. They won't, but he has anxiety about it anyway.

this book is just bad :S think i will read something else instead.

“Books permit us to voyage through time, to tap the wisdom of our ancestors. The library connects us with the insight and knowledge, painfully extracted from Nature, of the greatest minds that ever were, with the best teachers, drawn from the entire planet and from all our history, to instruct us without tiring, and to inspire us to make our own contribution to the collective knowledge of the human species. I think the health of our civilization, the depth of our awareness about the underpinnings of our culture and our concern for the future can all be tested by how well we support our libraries.” ― Carl Sagan, Cosmos

Erwin Caruso's most consistent character trait is his refusal to think things through all the way before he does them. This is largely seen in his various schemes to get famous as well as in other blunders he makes on impulse. However, this also can be a strength when he improvises solutions on the fly when there isn't time to think. In this essay I will—
