#but he aint smart

[knownsome]

Oh no!

You're a Toreador who committed a liiittle double murder in a hotel while you were on a date with this cute Ravnos guy, aaaand the video footage of 5ish people going into the room and only 3 (counting your Brujah packmate who helped you clean up the scene) people leaving (with luggage!) is in the mail to a police officer building a missing persons case!! What will you do?

Do you:

a) confront the officer and make him love you too much to pursue it with Entrancement

b) cause the case to disappear from public record with the help of your Brujah bro's hacker nonsense

c) decide at 4AM to gather your two Brujah packmates but Specifically Not the Ventrue with Obfuscate (because he'd be SUCH a bummer about the whole thing and soooo judgmental), break into the NOLA postal distribution center to somehow find and waylay the package or the truck it should be in, erase the footage of your break-in at the distro center AND get back into someplace dark before sunrise?

If you picked C, you might be my idiot PC.

By the way, did you know the mail has their own cops? And they've got like a 98% conviction rate or something??? Caius didn't!!!

"—in Game 7 when the puck is stuck in the corner...did that last forever? Were you like, 'Fuckin' McDavid's in front! McDavid's in front by himself!'" "Oh yeah, you wanna know why it lasted forever? So I was tired, so I'm like 'Fuck, I'm gonna change.' and there's 25 seconds left, I'd been out there for a minute-ten, I'm like, 'Let's make the smart fucking choice here, let me change. Get a fresh body out.' And Mikkola changed for me instead of Montour. And whether that was by design or not, that's two lefty defencemen with the mindset, 'let me get to that left side.' Forsling's already in there, then Mikkola comes straight off the bench straight into the pile, and then McDavid's alone out front. So we're all looking—for a second we're like, 'Holy shit, what's gonna happen here... hopefully Draisaitl doesn't make one of those ridiculous plays where he pulls it out of the corner and snaps it right to McDavid's stick.' But it ended up working out." "It worked out." "I know Jamie Kompon [Florida Panthers Asst. Coach] said that too, 'We had two left-shot defencemen out there at the same time. And like nobody is defending McDavid in front of the net.' But Mikkola—he did that a couple of times though! Where he just like all of a sudden, he was able to eat the puck along the wall to close out games." "Yeah, listen I don't blame him at all! For me as a right defenceman like..."

"You know, think about looking up at the clock and seeing—I think it was Connor [McDavid] and one other d-man [Ekholm] in front of the net when it was getting—fighting in the corner and we had nobody in front of the net! And we're all looking on the bench, we're like, '97's in the slot all alone...what are we doing here?'" "Best player in the world!" "It's funny looking at it now. I don't know who it was—Mikkola in the corner—he's like, 'That puck was not coming out, I can tell you that! I had that glued to the wall.' But yeah, you think about it now...the rest, it doesn't matter what the series was at—we won! And we're Stanley Cup Champions." "Exactly man!"

*there were 2 dmen out by the net near McDavid he could either be referring to Ekholm or Bouchard in this instance but Ekholm is closer to the net

and also because i think its interesting after ekky's game 7 mikksy changing for him anecdote he talks about how he cant play on the left and refuses to do so its pretty good stuff XD

"I can tell this now! That's Sylvain Lefebvre [Florida Panthers Asst. Coach] our D-coach—called me when he got hired [2022.] So I'm on the phone with him, we're chatting and he's like, 'Would you ever play the left side?' I'm like, 'Absolutely not! That's a skillset I just don't have. I see the right side of the ice and that 200ft of rectangle on the right side of the ice. That's just kind-of where I'm comfortable.' So I'm like, 'No, please do not put me on the left side!' Yeah so..." "You can do it!" "That's the first conversation? 'Hey, listen! I've been thinking about some things, drawing some pairings out on a napkin—wanna put you on the left side.'" "'Want you to be goalie!'" "That's—No!"

Me, reading and watching Demon Slayer for the first time: Wow this is amazing

The anime community: it’s actually not tho. Demon Slayer is so mid

Me: Oh… I guess so. I was probably just caught up in the hype

Me, rewatching seasons 1-3, and watching season 4 as it comes out: This is the most entertaining thing in the world, actually

It's so funny when nandor in all seriousness says "I know you've been keeping a secret from me, guillermo.", And guillermo looking like 'oh shit oh shit he figured it out he's gonna kill me this is it'. This was like the third time. It's always gonna be something like "you made a fart in my coffin, didn't you." Relax honey, your man has a marble run where the brain is supposed to be

[ocdhuacheng]

saw the same tweet as you today i’m convinced people read with their eyes closed and make up the story as they go like what the fuck are we talking about. every interaction between kabru and mithrun after chapter 50 or so is kabru very distinctly treating mithrun like a person and Not just like Something That Is Dying. that was like the entire thing. incredible that a writer can put so much care into writing their characters and an audience will behave the same as they would if there were none

literally its such an insult to miss kui to say those kinds of things -_- she did NOT put her heart and soul into these characters for yall to purposefully misinterpret their personalities and relationships like that. and for what? shipping? give me a break

ableist as hell regarding mithrun and insulting as hell regarding kabru bc what a mean thing to think about him. kabru isnt someone so mean that he would think that way about another person who needs help

The LIveship Traders - Ship of Magic -- Robin Hobb

I remember reading through most of this brick a few years back, but I didn't actually remember the story. I vaguely recalled that Hiémain (Wintrow in the original...? I think...?) made me uneasy bc I didn't understand him, that Althea's story made me feel tense, and that Malta was annoying. OK SO. I HAVE SO MANY NEW OPINIONS.

First of all I hated Kyle with fire in my guts for most of this book. Oh, he's so well written. I just got audibly and vehemently upset at his bullshit several times. I wished for his death many times just because his chapters made me so angry. Great character 10/10 I hope he dies.

Althea made me a lot less scared -- and I guess that's mostly because I'm an seasoned adult now, and in the meantime I discovered I was nonbinary and started living as myself as well... So her (admittedly very dangerous) stunt as a crossdresser and as someone going into a hard job is a lot less scary -- like, yknow, I've kinda lived some of that. And I survived it. So she can, too. I also saw through her naive arrogance this time. She's also a 10/10 character and I like her a lot.

Hiémain Wintrow ooooh Wintrow... I love him. His musings hit very close to home, perhaps especially because I became a recluse intellectual in the meantime lol... I think about what he thinks all the damn time. The tension between his feeling of absolute interconnectedness (like mycelium...) and the discomfort of actually being disconnected from real life. yknow. Touch grass. Touch a ship deck. How your principles strain against everyday strenuous work. How your biggobrain speaking habits can fall flat with regular people who didn't decide to spend months poring over X thought or Y text. And is it all worth it, and should you give up your principles? Or stick to them? Maybe reshape them? The transformation is painful. I loved Wintrow so much and I'm so excited to see what he does next. At the end of this book, he felt like the character with the strongest sense of self out of them all, and in that sense, I suspect he might be the toughest overall. All the others are struggling.

Definitely not least of all our favorite bipolar pirate LOL oh this man. I say bipolar bc that's what my healthcare friend diagnosed him as from my whatsapp rants. He's SO funny and I support him in his unhinged pursuit. I love how he's lucky MOSTLY because he doesn't say what he thinks and people fill in the blanks helpfully. Here's to keeping your mouth shut sometimes. 10/10 also.

Ok I loved every other character as well and the romances are so good actually like... finally some good heteros!! finally some good food!!! google is robin hobb bisexual or is she just that good ,

PS: ok I forgot to update my opinion on Malta: she's sooo annoying 10/10 great character. As a now adult I am so worried, pls child pls listen to your elders a little I beg

Okay, okay, okay, but you wanna know the biggest fuck up of the Trickster???? Showing up to Sarah Jane's funeral (petty bitch always) and trying to do evil shit there with his servants, only to get his ass handed to him by all of Sarah Jane's kids (bar Maria who missed her flight with Alan and had to zoom call basically) and members of UNIT like Kate and former companions like the Chesterton's, Ace, Martha and Jack and shrunk to the size of a doll and locked in a treasure chest that proceeds to go into the Atlantic ocean. And if it wasn't already embarrassing for him: it only took everyone at the funeral TEN minutes to do that to him, aka the shortest defeat yet he's had. Sutekh and the other gods must have had a field day making fun of him for this one.
