it always blows my mind that the Black Death is still around and you yes YOU can get it in the United States of America if you are very unlucky

(it's endemic amongst ground rodents in rural areas in the American West. well, the fleas on the rodents etc., which can jump to other animals.)

it's very treatable though but also like. it's 2024. you always think the Black Death is one of the diseases that got stomped out with prejudice but nope, it's still around!

the fallout tv show fully depicting the brotherhood of steel as a crazy cult is really compelling and interesting to me in the same way fallout 4's iteration of the brotherhood was a fascinating evolution of the versions in the games before that.

however, i fully believe that the version of the brotherhood that carries the most weight in my mind is the one where they're the wasteland's version of guys that look at you and say, "well, clearly you don't own an air fryer."

I really admire the scum villain fandom for surviving this long through sheer willpower and delusion alone

Having Things To Look Forward To In The Near Future as a cosmere fan was super easy and simple in 2022 because it was like ok this november we get the lost metal (kinda mid not super exciting but thats okay) and then in 2023 we get Three Whole New Books (and said books from the previews that got shared sounded super interesting and good. and they were!) and then at some point in 2024 we get The Fifth Stormlight Book (wow!) and it was so great and wonderful. this will not be so for being a cosmere fan in 2025. like ok on one hand wind and truth just came out and that keeps you fed for a good solid 6 months of going WOOOOOAH WOOOOOW THE IMPLICATIONS WOOOAH but then when that wears off its not like ok next year/at the end of this year we get a cool book! its like 3 years from now we get elantris 2

"They're coming closer again," said War.

THEN WE WILL DO WHAT WE CAN.

"Four swords against an army? That'll never work!"

YOU THOUGHT IT MIGHT A FEW MOMENTS AGO. WHO IS TALKING FOR YOU NOW? HUMANS HAVE ALWAYS FACED US AND THEY HAVE NOT SURRENDERED.

"Well, yes," said Pestilence. "But with us they could always hope for a remission."

"Or a sudden truce," said War.

"Or--" Famine began, and hesitated, and said finally: "A shower of fish?" He looked at their expressions. "That actually happened once," he added defiantly.

IN ORDER TO HAVE A CHANGE OF FORTUNE AT THE LAST MINUTE YOU HAVE TO TAKE YOUR FORTUNE TO THE LAST MINUTE, said Death. WE MUST DO WHAT WE CAN.

"And if that doesn't work?" said Pestilence. [...]

THEN WE DID WHAT WE COULD, he said, UNTIL WE COULD NOT.

April 7th, 1316: The Picard Farm, Willow Creek

Iseie had not yet slept through the night. That was why, when they did not hear a single cry until the morning, both Éduin and Edelinne rushed to check on him - as much as they wanted to be happy and celebrate this milestone, there was a sick feeling in their guts. Their parental instincts screaming that something was wrong.

Éduin got there first, leaning over the cradle to check. He was silent for a long, long time as he stared in shock at the boy.

"He's not.... He's not breathing." He mumbled, softly. "He must have passed in the night." Their boy had so much energy. Sure, he was hungry more often than he wasn't, but he thought that his son was thriving better than the rest of them.

The scream that came from his wife broke him out of his shock and disbelief. It was a scream of pure pain. Pain, anger, despair. . .

As she fell to their knees, their daughter awoke startled. She was only a year old, there was no way she could understand why her mama was screaming but she did know that she was scared.

"It must be my fault. My milk... I haven't eaten enough and my milk dried. He was so hungry and I couldn't help him, what sort of mother am I?"

Her husband sat beside her, tugging her into his arms. He felt his own tears streaming down his cheeks, but his wife needed him now.

"It is not your fault." He said, forcing her to look at him. "Everyone is hungry. He just was not strong enough. Let's just be grateful he is with the Watcher now and will never experience hunger pains again."

The 'comfort' rang hollow to even him. It's hard to believe that any place is better for a child to be than with their parents, even if that other place is with the Watcher, but what else are a father and mother to do to ease their broken hearts?
