God Dammit, Dude.

TFW your blorbo is late to his own Youtube collab.

Jesus Christ sir, how long is your video going to be?!?!

A lot of this is discussion of historical accuracy, which is not the most interesting thing for me when it comes to this movie. However, one thing Brandon brings up that I hadn't considered is that the people at the party looking shocked will look a lot more upset when everything that just got blown to heck--wood, metal, and human--is incoming from the force of the explosion. He also compares this scene to the church burning, which is presented as the worst thing that could ever possibly happen (even though everyone in the church is going to be dead in a matter of minutes given how Very Flammable the building is. Men aboard the ship who were further from the blast are unlikely to be so lucky).

One of the more egregious double standards in this movie is the assumption that suffering the audience does not see counts for nothing. Almost all of the visible bodily trauma we see involves Patriot bodies, as though Patriot violence does not produce the same effects on British ones. We only know British bodies have blood in them because Mel Gibson ends up wearing a few gallons of it after That One Scene. Part of the closeting of Martin's violence is that its effects are always out of frame, if sometimes only by a few feet.

Wind and Truth - End of The Stormlight Archive, Era 1 By Michael Whelan

i definitely make jokes about daniel being a “cokewhore” on occasion but i feel like some of y’all didn’t grok that he was actually for real real prostituting himself for drugs and it’s kind of an import detail about his character that’s been alluded to throughout the show.

idk i’ve just been seeing a lot of posts about daniel’s sexuality lately and like. in addition to Older Queer Male Repression Classic Flavor, it kinda thunks your thinker that the time when Daniel was most sexually involved with men he was also in a really terrible place mentally and physically, and that sexuality was intrinsically related to his drug use and poverty, and now he does not openly acknowledge his obvious hOmOpHiLe status huh?

Brandon Sanderson: Fantasy vs. Sci-Fi

Almost all of BrandoSando's books straddle the line between the two genres, and after seeing @approximateknowledge's post here, I wondered how they would lay out on that chart. I was also inspired by this fascinating WOB about Skyward's genre. These are just my opinions, so let me know if you agree or what you think you'd change!

category 5 Devil's Minion San Fran '73 moment ('it'll feel like a bath. rest. like honey on your tongue.') vs category 5 Loumandiel Dubai '22 moment ('what's he taste like?' 'i didn't ask that.' 'you were thinking it.' 'stay out of my head.' 'honey and pineapple. he stuffs himself with both for days before he offers himself to me. would you like to sample?')

"Fornication," Wit whispered, staring with haunted eyes at nothing. "That's not Rayse at all. He stole - that reproducing bastard. He stole my breaths."

The rage in the generally amicable man's voice was enough to dissuade Kaladin from asking about the bizarre word choice.

Shallan, evidently, did not have that problem.

"Fornication?" she repeated incredulously.

"It's a curse word," Wit said through gritted teeth. "Used to be common, but it's fallen out of favor among shardplanets the last several thousand years for some stupid CHILD CREATING reason."

Wit snarled, pacing the tent furiously.

"Which is a real PLEASURABLE PHYSICAL INTERACTION shame because now i sound really copulatingly stupid swearing with connection based direct translations, but cursing by 'Gods' or the dead or the weather or whatever intense intimacy else this vigorous impregnation planet swears by is NOT as satisfying when i am this LOVEMAKINGLY angry."

Wit kicked a chair, which flew with shocking force, tearing a hole in sturdy canvas siding. He stared at the tear, exhausted, then collapsed, arms wrapping around himself.

"I'm sorry," he whispered to Jasnah, who was approaching cautiously, in full Armour. "I shouldn't have done that. I generally don't have enough of a temper to lose it like that, but...gender neutral attempt at babies. He stole my breaths. I don't even know how much I lost...it will take decades to do an inventory, and even then...there's important secrets I vowed to protect. Lost people I swore to remember. Oaths I can't even properly remember making anymore, but I have to - I..."

Jasnah knelt down, taking Wit in her arms as he wept softly.

"And I can't even coitally curse right anymore," he sobbed.

Psst: Brandon F.'s Doing An Auction Thingie.

Blorbo Bleebus returns at last this Sunday November 12th, 6pm EST for a livestream auction of books and militaria on WhatNot!

I'm just so intensely curious to see what he's going to be auctioning and yeah, I'm probably going to have very poor impulse control for anything 18th century.

There was a segment of the Sexism in The Patriot video of all the women watching their men ride off, and I kept expecting to see Tavington watching Martin as the fort’s gate closed, but nothing.

That’s discrimination!

Hot take: Elinor Dashwood should have married Colonel Brandon. I think they suit each other so much better.

(also Marianne is selfish. I’m listening to the audiobook and I don’t remember if she ever stops being less of a self-involved brat)

The Weirwood Queen Memes Part 7: I’m running out of quippy titles, much like how the Eyrie ran out of food

Spoilers for The Weirwood Queen series by @redwolf17. Go check it out, if I’ve made seven meme posts about a fanfic then it’s probably good. Unless you like show-based bashing fics. This is a book-based fic with no bashing (the Cersei stuff isn’t bashing, it’s just in character).

Part 6

Part 5 - has links to all previous parts, I’m too lazy to link all of them again.

Callback to that one time I wrote a 2-page essay about a book for fun

Be me

13/14 year old girl with an unhealthy obsession with books

currently hyper fixated on Skyward

Seminary class lets you doodle on the whiteboard

draw Boomslug

Someone else draws a sea bunny

someone draws hearts, and now there’s ship art

my doofy ass decided to write on how the baby’s magic would work.

nobody knows wth skyward is

writes 2 WHOLE PAGES OF ME EXPLAINING HOW THE MAGIC WOULD WORK

prints it up

tapes it below Boomslug and Sea Bunny

the original drawer of the sea bunny writes “why” on the bottom

I was bored. Be afraid, mortal.

Sorry this is a tangent but what reminded me of this

Be me now

15, this month has been a Thursday and I slept through most of English (1st)

we have to submit a research question about a topic that we interest in, we have to write 3-4 pages on it.

question is due as class ends

I had jokingly asked my teacher if I could do it on fantasy technology (fabrials because I’m currently re-reading Stormlight for the 3rd time in 15 months)

she says yes

later I panic and say “how do fabrials work” as my research question.

I now have to write 3-4 pages on Fabrials.

I cannot tell it this is a win or a loss

… yes.
