There's a few people that I WOULD follow but since they're in the same friend group as other people I follow then they're reblogging all the same posts I'm already seeing and I just don't want to see every post that many times. So its kind of... one mutual/person followed per friend circle unless they post a very high percentage of original posts. Its not because I don't like them!
Also sometimes I think "I should follow that person" and then completely fail to complete that tiny little action of actually clicking the button.
the whole mutual thing is really overhyped on this site. sometimes interests don’t match up and that’s the only reason why there isn’t a mutual following. if you’re a regular in my inbox or my notifications, i have visited your blog before. if i didn’t want you around for any reason, you would be blocked. so yeah. you can spam my notes and/or talk with me (and possibly become my friend) even if i’m not following you back. no worries.

my school did an unrehearsed staged reading of gnomeo and juliet. i still haven’t seen the movie. as a g+j expert, do you think i should watch it?
okay first of all. scream. oh to have been a fly on the wall/audience member at your school's unrehearsed staged reading of gnomeo and juliet.
second of all. if i had a time machine i would go back to tell my 6th grade ish self and say "someday a stranger will refer to you as a gnomeo and juliet expert. and everything will have been worth it."
finally i hate to say it but it has been so long since i've seen it (though i feel a rewatch is imminent) so i can't give a fresh take on the quality. nor can i speak to its merit among shakespeare adaptations though i know it very much doesn't take itself seriously. which i like. actually the hyperfixation on g+j accompanied a very sprawling and more longlasting love of elton john which i think is the real merit. the original song is really good and the crocodile rock re-record with nelly furtado is also very catchy and fun. his music is also included in really clever and fun ways. so in that sense i think it makes a great movie musical of sorts, more comparable with a project like rocketman than a shakespeare adaptation. so unless this staged reading also incorporated some of that sweet and beautiful music i would ultimately say yes it is worth a watch. plus the character designs are very fun

Yes because whenever I see a type of bug I've never seen before it's a potential biosecurity issue because I've seen all the bugs.
Apparently this is not the way most people are taking this quote though.

Idea about Gnomes in KOTLC. So, we all know elves don’t really care for the dead’s bodies, they need the hair, they need the wanderling, that’s about it. But what of the dead body? It needs to go SOMEWHERE. What if the gnomes are the ones dealing with the bodies? What if they take the dead bodies and convert them into fertilizer to them produce more plants? That’d be horrifying! I just had to share.
There's a post somewhere on this site about the gnomes eating the dead bodies, but I don't have it on me! Admittedly it was the solution to body disposal taken to the extreme for humor, but I do think it makes sense for the gnomes to deal with bodies
With how much both gnomes and elves venerate nature and how closely their species work together, joint-effort composting makes sense. Returning the nutrients, minerals, and all that to the soil. I don't think it's horrifying, just part of the cycle. It's simple and natural, and if there's a system in place it could be quite efficient.
They've got their ceremony and extravagance in the trees from the hair preserving the essence of the person. The body is empty, allowing it to peacefully and gently return to the cycle of life seems an excellent final use. Oh! I know decomposition takes a while, but I wonder if since the gnomes accelerate the process of some things (like plants growing), they could expedite the composting and a person's remains could be used to fertilize their own wanderling.
Or if one person could be used to fertilize the next wanderling, a sort of caring for the next person to join you forever passed on. A way for the other trees to welcome the newest addition by providing it with the nourishment of the one before them. There'd be logistics to work out there, but I'm curious about it.
Anyway, the worldbuilding of how cultures and different species treat their dead and the rituals surrounding it are fascinating! And the elves composting their dead--very likely with the help of the gnomes--seems to fit them very well :)

I recall your species explanation about goblins and imps with sex being goblins believe sex to be a more community based and social/bonding exercise and imps are motivated by using it for power dynamics and to showcase dominance and while Madog and Myrddin don't seem entirely or specifically motivated by that with soke of their components being goblin and imp I was curious to ask if Madog being so feisty and domineering despite knowing he'll get in trouble and Myrddin "waiting for the right time" plays to those behavioral quirks and they're meant to conflict one another despite having similar components
so the only components they have in common are gnome bones. madog is made of gnome bones, imp wing membrane, manticore blood and hair, and goblin seminal fluid. myrddin is made from gnome bones, mermaid hair, sea serpent blood/scales, and troll seminal fluid.
the way i've mentally conceptualized how components work is particular types of materials contribute certain aspects. the gnome bones and scales/hair/membranes determine their basic size/structure, while the fluids (sperm, blood) contribute to personality and intelligence--the Spirit, so to speak. madog, being made from goblin and manticore juice, is sexually aggressive and territorial. the aggression actually comes from the manticore blood, not the goblin jism. if he didn't have the manticore blood and was just made from goblin juice, he'd actually be much friendlier! myrddin, having sea serpent and troll juice, is much more intelligent. sea serpents are wise and patient, and trolls are on the level of humans. so he's smarter than madog, and not driven by baser instincts.
so that's why they don't behave like imps. the imp part of madog doesn't affect his personality, just how he's shaped. and myrddin doesn't have imp parts (i think i said he did in the first post about him but ive changed it since then)
i don't think cadogan made them with those personality traits Specifically to put them in conflict. it's more likely he gave myrddin the more intelligent Juices because he wanted a more obedient servant. and he did get one! for the most part.

i think the dnd episode really highlighted how skilled the writers of the show were. i mean, they made an episode that was both unserious and serious at the same time. like here's a guy who the study group is trying to stop from committing suicide due to extreme bullying, with the main villain of the episode was constantly making comments to contribute to his depression but also here's annie explaining how she'd fuck an elf woman and britta getting emotionally attached to a gnome named kyle. peak community.

Yes, we got told off for drawing on our skin by our french teacher in high school because she said it could give us blood poisoning.
does anyone else remember being in, like, middle school and every adult over the age of 30 being like “drawing or writing on your hands is literally the most EVIL thing you can do and can KILL you”

i understand that it's for the purposes of time constraints but i definitely think one of the major contributing factors of the lack of development for non-romantic relationships in tlovm is that the party is split SO often. half of these characters have missed out on the other half's big defining moments. grog and the gnomes never met the twins' father and never saw what percy did for her. they have no basis for his and vex's developing relationship. percy and the half elves weren't there for any of grog's arc with craven edge or kevdak they don't know about his insecurities and fears. the rest of the party isn't allowed to be there when percy dies and scanlan doesn't even get to go to his funeral. sometimes it feels like these people barely know each other. it takes such a toll on the cohesiveness of the party when nobody in your main cast is allowed to interact with anybody else if they're not dating or siblings and especially you kick them out of the story whenever you don't feel like they're 1000% essential to the original arc

Post-fall murder husbands pig hunting together. Will is still new to this, still discovering his new self and killing preferences. One night a victim begs so much not to be killed that Will freezes and all he can say is like "I can't do it" and obviously Hannibal has to end her because she has seen too much. Will is haunted for a few nights by her screams and then by the sudden "crack" noise that came from her neck when Hannibal had ended her.
It's worth mentioning she was a very rude individual who kept stealing their garden gnomes and one night she even tried stealing one of Will's dogs but even if she deserved her punishment, Will is still haunted by her screams and pleas and by his inability to just end her. He is sure Hannibal doesn't even want him around anymore.
He doesn't want to talk about it cause he doesn't want to show Hannibal how much a stupid murder has affected him so he uses his pent up energy to kill someone...random. And it feels liberating for the first time in a few days.
"Who is this?"
Will shrugs.
"What did he do?"
"He passed by our house when I was in a bad mood."
Hannibal says nothing. He knows Will is new to the serial killer era so he gives him enough space to explore even if that meant not respecting his "kill the rude" pattern.
A few days pass and more bodies pile up. Will's mood also gets worse each day. Every time Hannibal tries to have a discussion with him, Will either leaves the room or says something like "No idea what you are talking about."
His murders aren't bloody, nor savage, he is extremely cold and calculated for someone as new as him. The issue is, killing people just for the sake of killing people is no longer liberating. His emotions pile up just like the bodies.
One night he has a nightmare about that night when Hannibal gutted him mercilessly on the floor and then abandoned him. He wakes up with the worst feeling of sickness in his stomach which is amplified by Hannibal's absence. He is not sleeping next to him and he is nowhere to be found in their house.
His car is also missing.
That's when it kicks in. Hannibal had left. He had probably had enough of his behavior. And probably the fact that he could not end that woman on the spot had also contributed to it. He had made him leave again.
Will sits on the floor of the kitchen and rests his back against the counter. How many times will he keep losing the man he loves the most? Is he so easy to abandon?
He is lost and fighting possible answers when the door of the kitchen opens and Hannibal enters holding a few bags filled with groceries.
"Will? Are you sick?"
It's the first thing Hannibal asks as he puts the bags on the counter and sits on the floor in front of him.
"I got ice cream for you-" he starts saying but Will bursts into tears. His body is shaking violently. Hannibal wraps his arms tightly around him.
"I thought you left. Forever." He says later, allowing the man to hold him, both of them still on the cold floor.
"Why would I do that, dearest?"
"I've been acting weird."
"I noticed. But all of this is new for us both. And neither of us is excellent at being normal, even during more mundane circumstances. Let's talk about it before you end up murdering the whole town, alright?"
Will nods silently as he melts into Hannibal's gentle touch. He is not leaving him. Not again.

There are so many uncomfortable parts about Harry Potter that takes you right out of the whimsical fantasy.
Like their treatment of muggles. It's wild how ministry officials casually tempering with the muggle family's memories at the Quidditch cup even before all the death eater mess went down. (Just as part of the regular proceedings!) Or how Arthur's department, which is all about protecting muggles from bewitched stuff, is an overworked, understaffed joke. I know the Ministry isn't portrayed as amazing in-universe, but it's not as if these kind of stuff are called out at all, it's just fodder that contributes to the general 'vibe' of a magical world.
How they deal with animals is no better: What the hell happens when children regularly transform sentient live animals into inanimate objects as part of their lessons? Or straight up vanishes them into thin air?
And why in the world does the ministry classify everything not human into one giant department? I know they have subclassifications, but it's still wild that non-human societies like goblins and centaurs are managed by the same general department as those worms Harry handles in Hagrid's class.
Speaking of non-human societies, I think it's kind of 'yikes', for lack of better word, how JKR wrote gnomes. If you're going to write pests that wizards regularly purge like insects, then you did not have to write them with an understanding of human language, the ability to express curiosity, anger and glee, and an uncanny facial resemblance to humans. And she certainly did not have to portray the protagonists stupefying the gnome, painting it in gold, and glueing wings onto its back. I mean...how the heck does this add to the story other than making it creepy as hell? Is this supposed to be hilarious? Couldn't she have written...real pests like the ones in real life for the Weasleys to be annoyed with? (Like giant cockroaches or something.) Why write a bunch of tiny humanoids and then use the same dehumanising language and actions on them?
