I made dis

#inheritance cycle#the inheritance cycle#the varden#eragon#the world of eragon#tonhal pofázik#so in-world setting it might makes sense#in historical setting tho#there was this stuff that also happened in the books#when armies send messengers to each other#and they could have easily agree on#'hey how about everybody moving like 5 km to the east so we wouldn't have to fight in a place where not just the enemy#but the land too wants to kill us'#I get it then Roran couldn't barge in there#anyway#yay for the medicine for beating up my fever#it was about time

asdfghjk im sorry but i am just dying of laughter at this


Edit: Feanor in the published silmarillion did not die fighting a Balrog, he died fighting MULTIPLE Balrogs.
#i remember there also being mentioned somewhere that feanor took a barge to an island in the center of lake mithrim#because he saw something glittering there and thought it was the silmarils#the power of the shinies was too much and it killed him lmao#silmarillion#book of lost tales#BoLT#tolkien#feanor#forgive me for the crappy picture-taking

im so glad empanada, even after a tough day, got to have that talk and hug with richas and then bagi where em got some lovely advice about dealing with grief from richas & talked about what went wrong during the day
but i can't help but contrast this with sunny. sunny who empanada still hasn't seen. sunny whose been alone for days. sunny whose talked with almost no one. sunny who doesn't know bad is dead. sunny whose pretending tubbo isn't dead. sunny who got no goodbye. sunny who got no long talks about grief. sunny who got no explanations. sunny who no one visited today. sunny whose birthday is tomorrow. sunny who no one will wake up for first tomorrow
#qsmp#qsmp sunny#qsmp empanada#it's giving em and sunny being separated so long post em's first death#but also 50 times worse#they're sisters your honour they should be together#idk if sunny and leo will have talked off stream or not#but presumably she's done something with her mystery friend#we are for sure going to get angst from sunny tomorrow if only someone stays long enough to see it#also off topic but i think the em interaction with mike was fine#yes he clearly wasn't successful in cheering her up but she seemed to appreciate the attempt#even if it probably left her feeling a little like her feelings were her fault for not being able to cheer up#and he did apologize for barging into her room and left#i don't think he's in her bad books at all#she could definitely tell he cared and she was much more visibly frustrated with bagi#which they luckily had some resolution over#me once again writing one post in the text and another in the tags lmao

does anyone have a written copy of the goblin emperor and might check something for me?
i have vague recollections of someone saying the bridge over the istandaärtha would need to span two miles, but checking with the audiobook is not working too well
#the goblin emperor#be gay do crimes ask opera people#i know Writers Can't Do Math#which presumably includes bridge engineering#but the way the bridge is describe#spanning two miles is impossible#like actual physics will not allow you to do that impossible#even if we assume the material could take the strain#i know if the bridge has to be realistic#there'd be a lot of thought given to the riverbed and attending geography#which is quite obviously not the point of the book#but it's bugging me!#it's such a cool idea for a bridge!#and i want it to work!#so if there's any information about the istandaärtha#like the width or the banks or the types of barges or the depth or anything#please tell me?

Hey! Fans of Dimension 20's Burrows End and Watership Down, here's a fun lil project I found on Kickstarter:
Description:
A duty-bound otter and an outlaw lemur must learn to trust each other as they flee a vengeful band of pirates in a post-apocalyptic Las Vegas ruled by animals. The Iron Barge is a talking-animal adventure story in the tradition of Mouse Guard, Watership Down, and The Jungle Book.
Loaded with high-stakes action, a little bit of humor, and unique world building, it'll be a book appropriate for upper-middle grade and YA readers, or anyone seeking a new twist on dystopian fiction.
End of Description.
It's got very cute art and character design. I'd recommend checking the project out, I've backed this myself and am very hopeful to see it get fully funded before the deadline :)

"Maybe I could start a side-blog about good things and anti-Trump stuff happening in the US"
"The tumblr userbase is not nearly mature enough for that"
#serious themes#statcat original posts#considering every time i've made any politically positive or hopeful post people have to barge in all ''the end is nigh''#i'm reading a book about the titanic right now and being reminded of my old hyperfixation#so my autistic mind connection to this situation is when margaret brown threatened to throw robert hichens overboard on the lifeboat#with one of the reasons being he kept going on about how they were all gonna die#if i can get in the right mindset for this i can do it#with a firm policy of ''if you don't shut up you're going overboard!''#before anyone says anything about ''suppressing speech'' please remember that the hopeful approach is literally the unpopular one on tumblr#the doomers aren't victims in the specific situation#if anything they're perpetrators#because they actively try and stop anyone from doing anything to help#they actively try to bring down and sabotage the resistance

hey. hey uh. just wondering what happened to all the children Curtain barged and brainswept. I'm assuming he didn't have a child services worker politely waiting at the dock for them. uh. where did they go.
#the mysterious benedict society#tmbs#ld curtain#sometimes in the Big Things that Curtain's done stuff like this gets overlooked#did the kids get dropped off at the orphanage? would he really waste the time? raise suspicion about where all these kids are coming from?#assuming one student gets barged a week from the leaderboard every Thursday. in all the years the Institute's been running.#that's a lot of kids.#did the kids just get left on the docks. left to wander around Stonetown with no memories and nowhere to go#also. the fact that unlike the books. not all/most of the kids at LIVE were orphans#Martina had parents#now granted the Whisperer's messages 'the missing aren't missing' probably discouraged them from looking for their kid#but like. did the parents ever wonder. after months of not hearing from their kid.#did they go into town one day for some shopping only for their child to stumble out of an alleyway#dirty and alone and scared and with a completely blank expression#and doesn't even blink twice at their own parents? not even a spark of recognition?#thinking about when the Emergency lifted and the Whisperer's messages stopped.#how many parents suddenly remembered their children have been missing#how many parents rushed to the Institute only to find out their child disappeared years ago?#'what happened to them?'not sure. only they never say goodbye to any of their friends before they leave#like they don't even recognize them at all.#how many parents kept searching. kept following that thread. found their child in an orphanage with no memory of how they'd gotten there#anyways. food for thought!

Other than asking to enter, is there any other reason/scenario Robin would put us in THE VOID? In contrast is there any time where he would refuse to put us in the void? (I was thinking of him not wanting to take advantage of a mental breakdown or particularly vulnerable moment, or if we were intoxicated)
Also, how does entering their dimensions work? Is there a portal or is it more of an instantaneous teleportation? Also since Yuyu can put people in Rigels dimension, can they also take people out of dimensions that aren’t there own or is that only a one way deal?
Robin is unfortunately a toxic creature and will put the MC in there. He isn't particularly worried about a mental breakdown, and actually relishes the advantage. He won't push for anything, but he will definitely use it as a manipulation tactic.
I can't see him refusing if they were to ask for void time though. He'd probably find it cute, and enjoy that they've come to depend on him so much for comfort and safety.
I haven't focused on writing it much, but he is not a good person.
As for entering and exiting, the siblings can come and go freely through these pocket dimensions, they just don't out of politeness usually.
#an open book#turn the page vn#turn the page#robin adler#rigel adler#the starlight narrator#they walk in and out of each others pocket dimensions like siblings barging into each other's rooms

y/n is a like character to me. her pronouns are she/her/you/yours.
#ace.txt#my sister just graduated from reading shitty x reader fics for laughs to high quality x reader fics for the trashy romance genre#sometimes she barges into my room to detail the plot of a linguistics student alhaitham x literature student reader gasping like it’s a soap#opera#update; he just came back in to scream about it again. it’s like a book club to me.

I know I freaked out about Kate a while ago, and I get that this is in the same sentence, but somehow I also forgot that Sticky got to Stonetown by hiding on a river barge????
I mean, Stonetown's a seaside town??? I always assumed it took his parents forever to find him because of the Emergency, but this means he could have been from literally anywhere?? If we're still sticking with Stonetown being somewhere in New England, there's a lot of rivers!!! He could have been from a completely other state!!! He could have been wandering around for weeks not just walking on foot, but actually traveling at a vehicle-fast pace
Just... thinking about how Mr. Benedict and co. knew this...
Milligan probably saw him sneaking off the barge when he was hanging up posters or whatever and was like Oh shoot, I can't straight up abduct the kid, it'll scare him. Well, the test is only in a day or two, maybe if he shows up there we can help and, like, starts whistling really loudly and hangs up a bunch of posters specifically in that area to be sure Sticky sees one, and then once the kid's actually put some distance between himself and the boat (If he was sneaking, Milligan didn't want to accidentally expose him and get him in trouble) he walks by and is like "Why, hello there, random child. You look like someone who is looking for opportunities. Also do you want a sandwich?" and hands him a flyer directly
#And then he comes back and is like#GUYS#WE HAVE TO HELP THIS KID NO MATTER WHAT#I talked to him for a few minutes and he's really bright so I'm sure he'll do fine he's a great kid#BUT ALSO#HE WAS HIDING ON A RIVER BARGE???#Ajdjkhfdjsdfkjhfd#I know it's stupid#But I was checking something in that bit in the first book and I got reminded of that#WE REALLY DON'T KNOW AS MUCH ABOUT THE KIDS' BACKSTORIES AS I'D LIKE#WHAT EVEN IS THIS#HOW'D HE GET THERE?#IT'S STICKY#HOW DID HE NOT HAVE A HEART ATTACK DOING THIS?#WAS THE BARGE OWNER NICE?#I'M SCARED FOR THIS BOY#TLS GET BACK HERE I WANT ANSWERS#/j#the mysterious benedict society#mbs#sticky washington

florian and margaret are, hands-down, THE BEST platonic guy-girl relationship I've ever encountered in all of fiction ever. They're so sweet and care about each other so much and hrrgrgehrgh. I'm sorry but I will NOT be shutting up about them
#jessica's book liveblog#Framed!#also the first time they met florian barged into the room yelling about underwear because he didn't know she was there#which is exactly the kind of ridiculous vibes i want

miral daughter of l'naan
#diary#the hope in her voice when she says but you don't believe in stovokor? the 'oh' when she realizes b'elanna hasnt come to#do the right thing but try to trick her way into heaven. 'i should have known you'd choose the easy way' girl you are soooooo.#<- personally i think we should have gotten one billion flashbacks of her interactions with john + b'elanna as a child and also when#b'elanna decided to leave for starfleet. im on my knees begging.#desperately trying to read into the little dialogue we're given to try and get a sense of miral's personality bc b'elanna's ideas of her are#so so clouded by their relationship. so are john's.#somebody write the book im not kidding#i love that despite all the stuff b'elanna tries to pull in barge of the dead miral never gives up hope - its been ten years and still she#thinks that maybe b'elanna's learned something from all she tried to teach her#but not surprised thats not the case.#<- thats so b'elanna behavior by the way. clinging to the hope in your heart but expecting disappointment.#not irrational though they've both had their fair share of let downs GSGSG john leaving. being the mutual one.#although for miral it seems like she doesn't mind so much what b'elanna does so long as she does it with the right - intention or mentality#honorably. yknow

#halfway through m d z s vol 4 and now i really am convinced that most of this fandom have 0 reading comprehension skills#so much shit that's still being debated that is. directly in the text? it's not ambiguous at all?? like sorry did you just skip that entire#paragraph or smth how are these debates still happening#ik i bring this up on a regular basis but i went into the book after the drama and a lot of folks were like ooh jc isnt v likeable. like ??#this is literally making him MORE likeable and sympathetic than the drama. it's making l w j less. l w j is around during all these key#fucking moments and from the narration you can tell he understands whats happening and hates it but he doesnt fucking do anything??#and his sect atp is in a decent state. he isnt heir. but for some reason he only steps in when he 'can't take it anymore' WHY COULD HE#TAKE IT BEFORE THAT WHY DOES IT TAKE SO MUCH FOR HIM TO STEP IN#and ik this is. gonna come into play post timeskip but ffs it's so frustrating he's pissing me off so much every time he appears#meanwhile lmao that banquet scene where wwx barges in just before hes about to go to rescue the wen? yeah jc isnt even in llj then#one of the annoying debates is uwu why didnt jc stand up for them too. girl why didnt your fave who actually attended#anyway not just this but also like. it seems that an embarrassingly huge number of readers just. took the gossip at face value?#which i just. i cant. like the entire theme of this!! the huge ass theme! was about public perception!! i cannot understand how that#goes over ppls heads it's so in your face!! a large amount of events are retold through gossip youre supposed to question it all not only b#it's gossip but also bc stuff is contradictory a lot is clearly exaggerated AND MOST IMPORTANTLY bc you as reader have many moments#where the real events play out and you can SEE how the public perception gets skewed. honestly shoutout to folks who found the fandom after#finishing the novels i would feel like i was being gaslit by everyone from the shit they say happened/is stated in the books#ugh had to get this off my chest. maybe ill spite finish a fic with this energy
