Was looking at refs and since Viktor has two different leg braces I was wondering, do we think he wears them simultaneously?? The refs don't perfectly line up perspective-wise so it's hard to tell but parts of the one he wears during the Hexcore scenes look like they could maybe line up with the brace that he wears over his clothes, but also some parts really don't and look like they'd be super uncomfy. Also HOW does he take these on and off. Experts weigh in

Am I actually comparing Apollinaire's 20th century French poetry classic Alcools to Aziracrow Good Omens? Like, am I?? Is this a real thing I'm doing???

(it is, I'm flabbergasted by my own actions)

buckle up lads we're going BACK INTO THE BOOK

dawg it’s not a great look for you as a security guard to joke about a blind guy being a criminal just cuz he was @ the wrong door

I mean that isn't what happened but I get what you mean, if I had been doing that then it would have been a pretty shitty move

My intended focus what the response to my response- the immediate recognition of a personal error? Cause like. I answer the wrong email thread constantly at work, to the point that my coworkers have a very distinct tone when broaching it to me

The only reason I even mentioned his disability was because it was relevant to the context- its kinda hard to mistake an emergency door from a main door unless you can't read the sign, you know?

So to be clear, I was laughing at a man with a disability, but not cause of his disability, or the error he made BECAUSE of his disability, but just. Like. The delivery of his exasperation. Like... "Ah,fuck". A mood I can appreciate. You know

And I COULD have changed details of the story so that it happened with someone who DIDNT have a disability- pretended it was dark or something, or that it was a stranger wandering into the wrong area from inside- but that felt kinda shitty? To erase that there was a guy who was disabled who made a relatable mistake in public?

Like I could totally be wrong here, please correct me if I am, but I felt like avoiding any social contact or association with people posessing physical disabilities would be worse in the long run, so I just. Wrote what happened how it happened

Celebrity Derek Hale being incredibly private and having absolutely no internet presence of his own just casually goes "Oh yeah my Fiancé-" on a talk show and the world fucking explodes looking for this super secret relationship with any famous woman he's ever interacted with and then they never figure it out cuz it's just some dude

Okay can I be a bitter Anders fan for like. Just 2 minutes here lmao

Cause bioware released some game stats for veilguard and apparently 72% of players redeemed Solas which is like. Okay yeah the game kinda pushes you towards that. But when I think of all the shit I used to have to put up with just for enjoying Anders like at all and…

(This is not me being anti-Solas, I do not care if you love or hate him, but I am gonna say what he’s done is like. Objectively worse than literally every other companion so lmao. And that’s fine! You can still enjoy him! I’m not saying you can’t and it’s important to me that people understand that! I’m just saying he did in fact do objectively morally worse things in game than Anders did and I don’t think that’s really debatable. And I can’t really make my point here without saying that but I do want to make it clear this is not some moral condemnation of Solas enjoyers cause it’s not)

Getting anon hate on the regular, being told “oh you’re allowed to like Anders as long as you regularly talk about how much he sucks”, people gleefully describing how much fun they have killing him ON your posts about the fact that you like him, the devs making jokes about shitty fates for him when fans asked innocent questions about him, the absolute audacity of his writer to say half the shit she did in interviews (about bisexuality and mental illness, most critically), and then being beaten over the head again in inquisition about how Anders is the worst character to ever exist and there’s no redemption for terrorists who lie to you one time in the entire game and he deserves death or worse and that’s it

And now… 72% of people are down to redeem the guy who lies to you for 2 games straight and who did a lot of questionable things that includes creating the fucking blight and. Like. I guess I’m glad that Solas fans can live in a world where they aren’t constantly harassed and can give their ship like. A pretty damn good ending all things considered. And that the devs love Solas and actually give the option for that happy ending and have characters go to bat for Solas throughout the game and the most annoying thing they have to see are people making scrambled egg memes. I would not wish anyone to have to deal with the shit Anders fans had to put up with back then cause it sucked. It really sucked. And I’m glad it’s not being repeated with a different character, if nothing else

But like. Man there really is a difference when the writers actually like the character who does the thing, huh

Happy birthday to the most special girl in the universe!! Wanted to try something ambitious and ended up with the biggest comic I've done to date

[hypokeimena]

i have been on etsy finally buying small things that will make my life more organized and one of the things i have been looking for is like. an oval or rectangular box that is both long enough that i can store long things (incense, arts and crafts supplies, shabbat candles, etc.) in it, and flat enough on top that i could put a candle / trinket dish / incense burner on top of it, ideally where the lid is also removable rather than hinged so i don't have to move all the shit on top in order to get into the storage.

so like. literally all i am looking for is like. longish box (10-11" long), not too wide, removable lid that can also store or display stuff on top of it. this doesn't feel like an insanely unreasonable request. to me.

but clearly i'm wrong because let me tell you the only thing people are selling is concrete and resin trays that are cast off the same identical oval mold, which must be purchasable on amazon or something bc. to be clear. everyone is making these. they are impossible to avoid, and they're fine for what they are, but i have developed a sort of rage response to them, which is not so much angry that they exist (again: they are fine, i think it's cool they've apparently made it much more accessible to start out making your own concrete mold stuff) as it is like, some sort of mutated version of "grow bones". like it's cool that you can make this tray but when are you going to start doing something original. the molded oval trays seem like they might be a really good way to experiment with new techniques or something but is that all you are doing? and you want me to pay you $35 for the lowest amount of effort you could possibly be putting into it? i'm glad you are making it but if you're clogging up my search results i hate you.

in the same sepulchral tones as "flowers? in spring? groundbreaking." i would like you to hear my dully murmur as i scroll: wow, you did a neutral washed-out color swirl in your concrete oval molded tray. wow, YOUR tray comes in three different shades of beige. do you want me to clap. should we call the president.

Keyleth and Vex: Give us Vax back!

Liam and Matt, monkey’s paw curling: Ok, you didn’t say for how long or what degree of Vax would still be there though

[ariadne-mouse]

I feel fandom would get along a lot better if there was mutual understanding that liking a character, agreeing with a character, and thinking the character is well constructed/executed are all separate (if often overlapping) positions, each with their separate tastes and subjectivities. Also: character portrayals are intended to make the audience feel things; this is separate from (if often overlapping with) analyzing/appreciating their actions and role in the story.

how crazy would it be if i became a biology lab instructor. would that be crazy or what

[brujahinaskirt]

arthur is rude to that one sex worker because the guys are fucking around as they oughtn't be and he actively wants the source of their distraction to go away. that is how he operates through the entire game: deliberate, utilitarian intimidation and strategic unpleasantness to achieve a goal. it is an early game commentary on arthur meant to position him as a big dog that barks. it is not a commentary on his views about women which are clarified many times afterward. you guys realize that right

[twinstxrs]

so much happened in this whole episode but i’m still on fig infiltrating ruben’s dream, making it look like the place where his friend was murdered, and then disguising herself as kipperlilly & repeatedly saying different variants of “somebody needs to take the fall for this, and it’s not going to be me. it’s going to be you.” while adaine as the elven oracle shows up next to her. can you imagine waking up from that, the idea of a horrible truth being pinned on you by your friend to save her own skin while the personification of fate and destiny stands there, almost as a promise that this is GOING to happen to you. we don’t even know if this kid is guilty. my god.
