#THEY LITERALLY PICKED ONE FOR THEMSELVES

[northwest-cryptid]

So wait... Someone picked out their username/url for them right? I mean they literally just said it's pretty uncool to just pick a label for yourself like that so I'm sure someone must have totally assigned them that tumblr handle when they decided they wanted to use the site, obviously.

hey im getting a vibe this isnt about nicknames

i really like the dichotomy of everyone respecting Nana as their friend off stage (and the darker feeling she has that they All take from her in one way or another except Karen) but inside the stage duels as performers with her as their ultimate test, they're all still prideful enough to treat it as every man's glory for themselves, making it so they can't hold a grudge against Nana outside the Revues because to everyone the Revues are Just Business and a space for words that don't belong outside it- which plays into the repression that's hurting all their relationships, they really thought of everything making this series

I was going to practice doing art with agent Curt Mega, but then I got possessed by the spirit of Christmas I guess?

Say what you will about Martin's writing style (and I've said plenty) but I do think he's got the White Walkers' mythos worked out for a future book and IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SO NICE IF THE SHOWRUNNERS HAD DONE 1/100TH OF THAT WORK SETTING THEM UP

Gus: I am mad all over again that there was absolutely zero explanation given as to why/how the Night King operates or how his powers work or why he chose now to attack or ANYTHING ELSE

Gus: on the plus side it means I get to make up a whole subplot that, not to brag, I'm comfortable saying is at least as good as anything D&D could've made up IF THEY HAD EVER EVEN BOTHERED

Gus: but like - okay so craster's infant sons get sacrificed to the Night King, who them magics them into White Walkers as babies

Mardia: Yep yep

Gus: so does that mean there's a white walker nursery

Mardia: Omg

Gus: do they have to change diapers

Mardia: LOOOOOOOL

Gus: is there a white walker daycare center

Gus: how does the night king TEACH his lil adopted monster babies

Gus: is there like storytime around the - well not fire

Gus: does the Night King remember what it was like to sit around a fire?

Gus: does he miss being a human and all his rage at the spell the Children of the Forest put on him to kill the First Men has curdled his brain?

Gus: what was he DOING for like 8 millennia, just hanging out?

Gus: did he get really good at ice fishing?

Gus: DO THEY EAT?

Gus: where the fuck do they get their snazzy outfits from

Gus: are there white walker tailors

Gus: what's the currency situation

Mardia: Lololololololol

Gus: I'M JUST SAYING

wah i looove their designs and animation...

[starcrustduster]

when i ask someone why would they prefer rhaenyra/aegon2 on the throne, if they answer with an argument like eldest son/viserys' will/bastardism instead of saying "i just love her/him more" they are getting BLOCKED

Recently saw a post in the Adam Taurus tag (an exercise in patience, that tag) that claimed that the signs of Adam not actually caring for the Faunus cause start as early as the Black Trailer. Their evidence?

Blake: What about the crew members?

Adam: What about them?

They proposed that the lack of concern Adam felt for the SDC crew whilst knowing that Faunus were often employed against their will meant he always put his revenge above the needs of the Faunus

Let me tell you, my jaw dropped at the stupidity

The way they went on, you'd think he was about to kill a small nation's worth of SDC workers, but like.

Babe.

It's a cargo train. Their skeleton crew barely has bones

According to the Association of American Railroads, the standard practice is a two-person crew, a locomotive engineer and a conductor, but it's not uncommon to have a crew of one. It would undoubtedly suck to be one of those guys if Adam had succeeded, but it's not the unbridled massacre people seem to think it is

As for the Faunus angle, I highly doubt any slave would be given the skills of either of those positions, much less left in charge of who knows how much lien's worth of name brand products, so no danger of accidentally eliminating the unfortunate kin there. Had they been Faunus that did join the SDC of their own volition, then they's be SOL just like the humans

I'm so tired of people making shit up or blowing things out of proportion to justify their Adam hate

Twitter sucks bcs I’ll politely tell a white woman not to use an Asian name bcs that’s cultural appropriation and she acts like she got brutally harassed (I apologized to her twice in the conversation where she constantly dismissed me and only mentioned her doing it publicly after she started acting like she was being attacked and framing me as getting offended over nothing). Then someone claims me being whitepassing means I’m not actually Korean and being hypocritical for saying that she shouldn’t use a Japanese name, and a popular white rw/by fic writer blocks me for calling out her friend, but if I say anything about that I’m the bad guy

[jrueships]

who would you most like to read jrue being paired with in a fic?

Me .

I'm thinking about the first arc of The White Vault again, and how my absolute FAVORITE aspect of the horror is so subtle you don't even realize it at first but once you do - even if nothing bad has kicked off yet - you're still anxious.

The story is told from the stuff left behind at the base! Their journals and notes and audio and video logs and the Documentarian doesn't know EXACTLY where they all fit together on the timeline. THEY'RE NOT THERE TO TELL ANY PART OF THEIR STORY OR CLARIFY ANYTHING.

It's the fact that you already KNOW none of them survive. You know that whatever happened was so bad that there were no survivors. And it lends a whole other aspect to the horror of listening to these people try to plan and survive what's going on while the entire time you KNOW it doesn't work. You know they fail. And that's horrifying.

They're already dead by the first episode! They're sitting there joking and drinking and complaining about the coffee while you're listening in knowing they're all dead and the only thing you can do is listen to their story slowly be pieced together to try to figure out HOW they died. You can't do anything to help! You know they don't make it home but they don't! Even when stuff starts going sideways and there's already a body count and they're still trying desperately to survive and you have to sit there with the knowledge that they don't succeed.

The absolute horror that went through me when I realized in like the first or second episode, when nothing was actually going on yet, that they all die because I realized how I was accessing their story? That's a feeling I wish I could replicate. If I could wipe my memory of this podcast JUST to relisten to this first arc blind again I absolutely would.

It's phenomenal. (I may have some complaints about how the story continued past this point but this first arc will keep this as one of my favorite horror podcasts forever.)

We are just now realizing that still being on the short list of kitten fosterers means that we're going to be having to handle weaning five 3-4 week old kittens that need to be fed every few hours while also having university four to six hours a day and honestly, that's not going to be very fun. We'd say "maybe we should have taken on less art challenges this year" but honestly we've been having a great time with the art challenges it's just the 4-6 hours of school that's been rapidly eroding our soul

"YA fantasy is just more diverse than adult fantasy" "adult fantasy is all hopeless and grimdark" "every adult fantasy book just shoves sex scenes in your face"

tell me you don't know anything about adult fantasy outside of secondhand reviews of game of thrones without telling me. it costs zero dollars to google "queer adult sff books" or "adult fantasy books without sex" or "feminist adult fantasy" or "hopeful adult fantasy". Check the content warnings on storygraph if you have to. Hell go on r/fantasy and search any keywords or questions you want and you'll literally get dozens if not hundreds of results, including lots of things that arent "mainstream". I read like 50 fantasy books last year and less than 10 of them weren't queer in some way, none were "grimdark", and the majority did not have explicit sex scenes.

You can complain about shitty things or things you don't like in adult books or from specific authors without implying that every adult book falls into that and that it's impossible to avoid. Bc once you put even a tiny bit of effort and research in, its pretty easy to get a hang of what books you wanna try, at least from my experience. As long as you don't just grab something randomly off the shelf, you'll be a lot more likely to find things you like. (that's a pretty bad way to pick YA books too, let's be honest)

Just, there's so much variety and a lot of really good stuff out there, you just gotta actually search for what you want before diving in
