so not only did they put it on the refrigerator in one of the scenes, they liked the reference so much that's what they named the bodega in the movie.

as someone who's been living in Appalachia for most of my adult life, the fucking idiot who just got chosen as the conservative VP pick is a charlatan who made his name by looking down upon a misunderstood and mocked region and its lower class. un-fucking-believable.

Non comprehensive list of NPCs I think Matt Mercer will voice when campaign 2 gets animated

Artagan (kind of a given considering he's already done so in tlovm but whatever)

Essek

Uk'otoa

Lucien

Obann and/or the Laughing Hand

Pumat Sol

At least one somnovem member if they get any lines

Honorable mentions

The Gentleman because I can see it going either way

Yeza Brenatto, because I think it's more likely they'll get someone else to voice him but who knows. The chances matt chooses to voice yeza brenatto are low but never zero

Also, if Winona Ryder wasn't playing Joyce Byers inspired by Meg Tilly's character in 1992's Leaving Normal, then the resemblance is a weird fucking coincidence.

the thing with doctor who i think is that it gets better the more you know. maybe this is true of all writing but i only know doctor who so we'll focus on that. but i think it gets better the more you know this is why my fic is not very good. i dont know many things. i think if you have a background in like, just any field you can use you can make your doctor who stories more interesting. like linguistics maths physics and music are things that come to mind for me that i would like to know to make my doctor who stories more interesting but i think it can work with, like, almost anything. biology stuff also works well adds a lot. sociology stuff history. if you know how to sew really well or youve worked in meat factories. just, if you have deep knowledge about something this will enrich your doctor who stories (again, might be true for literally every writing)

but also things you can know that are just lived and not books. like i said with that post about different countries' doctor whos, every country would bring its own history and values and perspective to the stories. but also like for example the class stuff or the queer stuff you see with rtds stories like anything a writer Knows will make their stories more interesting

and thats why doctor who could literally be so good If They Diversified Their Fucking Staff. in every sense of the word. you need disabled people, trans people, racialised people, people with different religions but you need people who know other things than writing too! which i get is difficult because theyre mostly working in their fields and not writing but like there are writers who are not or have not only ever just been writers. or just get writers with some weird fucking hobbies!

even in the most basic way even if you keep your entire show white christian able-bodied man, if you have more of those you will have better stories. it will still suck! but like, less than if you only have 1 guy writing right? thats not a novel concept artists know this writers know this thats why they work together. and i get that making tv is very complex and theres a lot of interests and a lot of choices being made that arent even to do with the stories but i find it so frustrating to think about how good doctor who could be if they let other people in to put their knowledge and their perspective in the stories

He promises he’s not okay. :/

thinkin again about the time elyss's DM cut in to stop a conversation between her and a semi-retired player character to hurriedly take back control of him as an NPC before he could give her, as an extremely kind and thoughtful gift, one of his own personal belongings, and then said 'elyss can probably buy it from him though :)' instead

like. what an egregiously fucking shitty thing to do, actually.

can i just say i love anytime you drag romance readers? i literally have trauma from reading goodreads reviews. if i don't see a henry cavill or david gandy fancast ever again in my life i'll die happy.

HAHA thanks. I have a lot of friends and people I follow whose opinions I value even when I don't agree with them, and there are a lot of people who I think give good takes on romance novels, but like. I really dislike the "we as a united romancelandia stand together" perspective, because no. I don't stand with homophobic and racist readers, and I don't agree with reductive perspectives on the genre.

Plus, there's this inherent problem with a readership that does often take a "for women, by women" POV, when a) no, anyone can and should (if they wish) read it regardless of their gender, romance isn't just for women b) what they actually mean is "for [cis] women by [cis] women anyway c) they also mean for [white] women by [white] women.

Idk, I think it's important to enjoy things, but for me enjoying something usually comes with critiquing it and wanting better from it. I feel the same way about tons of other things. Because I love and respect it, I expect better of it. And I don't think you have to consume romance that way. I think you can just love it. But if I think a like... readerly pressure, I suppose... contributes to a drop in quality, I'll comment on it.

And on a shallower level, I think so many GR reviews are so ugly and I'm so tired of seeing the same white guys fancast for heroes every. Single. Time. And like, it's always pics of these dudes from 10 years ago anyway. FIND NEW HOT GUYS.

Civilization had been thrown into havoc with the outbreak of an atomic war in 1964. By 1974, one town had been surviving using the wisdom of “The Old Man in the Cave” in matters of what to eat and what to grow and other matters of survival. The peace of the town was disrupted by the arrival of soldiers claiming they were trying to unite the survivors and rebuild society. The lead soldier came into conflict with Mr. Goldsmith who was the only one who had been talking with the old man in the cave. To create discord, the lead soldier, named French, convinces the town’s people to eat canned food that the old man in the cave said was dangerous. To further distance the people from Mr. Goldsmith, French learned and revealed to the people that the Old Man in the Cave was actually a computer. However, the soldiers and the people of the town all died of food poisoning leaving only Mr. Goldsmith. ("The Old Man in the Cave", The Twilight Zone, TV)

How am I suddenly out here thinking about a crossover/au for a game that won't be out for years?
