ZESTIRIA THOUGHT BEFORE I FORGET: every attack has a Notable windup and cooldown and ESPECIALLY every hidden arte has these and i like that you can tell they went "okay. so we accidentally installed a Fun Ceiling" about that when they were niceing the combat system for berseria.

they made a whole thing out of banish blasts taking like 3 of god's own seconds to happen after you commit to them & it was mature of them to notice that this sucked (even tho having it happen instantly on a stunned enemy rocked) (not really worth it)

Peri's no good terrible bad day just seems to get worse and worse!

Timmy's hoping his baby brother didn't hear the whole conversation. But with that expression on his face, Timmy suspects it may be a bit too late for him. Timmy's companion scurried away as soon as he noticed Poof. A Pixie can sense drama and conflict from miles away.

I’ve been thinking of like what would happen if the CN and JG ppl somehow met each other, like

Childe would probably die of embarrassment from realising that Ajax and Morax were like lovers in CN while Hu Tao would laugh the shit at him while Zhongli just stood there confused

Then Hu Tao would coo at how cute little Xiao looked (and he DOES look cute who could blame her)

Zhongli would try to play it cool like “Haha wow who could’ve guess this alternate version of me was a god haha” while Xiao gives him the most stinkiest side eye ever.

genuinely zhongli would be more intrigued by all the timeline shenanigans and not really confused at the ship situation. he'd probably just go: actually? yeah i can see that, sure

the real kicker would be hua guizhong and ping yan and their possible angst at the fact their counterparts aren't dating nor even remotely as close (remember cyanide was before the crackship was revealed so neither guizhong nor madame ping are characterized there as having anything going on between them)

honestly? fanan and the fox siblings would be such a wild difference that when folks like xiao stare at zhongli like "what do you mean you're a god there?" zhongli would be able to just shrug it off and say "if fanan is from a completely different country why wouldn't i, an already acomplished thaumaturge, be an Immortal? it IS an alterlate reality after all" and xiao would be inwardly still kinda sus but have no basis on which to really argue LMAO

sometimes i try to talk to my friends about being upset and i get so so uncomfortable bc my whole life i was taught not to burden other people with my sadness so i end up either apologizing or comforting them every time!

One of those interesting-frustrating things about Lolth in particular is that since she's a major goddess who was transplanted from Greyhawk, she's gotten a ton of different origin stories, a chunk of which don't have to do with her being formerly an elven goddess at all or related to Corellon as anything more than a rival for the elves' attention and worship

...and then at some point someone introduced the "actually Lolth used to be Corellon's consort-waifu and she was WEAKER THAN HIM and ALL HER POWERS CAME FROM HIM and she BEGET TWO CHILDREN FROM HIM AND THEN BETRAYED HIM, HER LOVER" and then everyone used that for the rest of time forever since 3rd edition and all the other origins and different stories kinda got shunted to the side.

And the punchline is as far as I can discern from timelines, the patient zero of that specific interpretation wasnt even meant to be like. Accurate in any way because it was from a novel explicitly framed as historically inaccurate (the entire storyline is a dramatized play penned by a specific person as a gift for his wife). And then it got real weird because SOURCEBOOKS STARTED COPYING THAT OVER AND TAKING IT AS WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED. DnD, man.

The total land area of all US states is around 9.14 million square km; the US has 3134 counties or county-equivalents, and in most of the country these are a pretty consistent size. there are a few weird states: Alaska has very big boroughs because of its low population, and much of the state is not organized into any borough. Virginia has a lot of independent cities (38 out of 41 in the entire country; most other states just consolidate city and county governments if a city gets very big).

Among all states east of the Mississippi, excluding Virginia, counties are about 1,423 km square (1369 if you include Virginia and count its independent cities as counties). If you include the states just across the Mississippi River, which mostly have counties about the same size as the states just to their east (here I am including Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, the Dakotas, etc.; but nothing further west than the Texas/North Dakota axis), average county size rises only to 1,762 km square. Just within those states of the "nearer west," county size is about 2,220 km square, which is bigger, but not crazy bigger.

Further west, especially in states like Nevada, Utah, and California, counties get very big. Among all states west of the Texas/North Dakota line, counties average around 10,300 square km. But among all states, average county or county-equivalent size is 2,921 km square.

"County" as administrative division descends of course from English counties, which were originally feudal divisions. So how big are U.S. counties compared to their European predecessors? About the same size! England has a land area of ~130,000 km square and 48 ceremonial/historical counties (it has many more local government areas in the modern era). English counties are 2,700 km square on average, about the size of U.S. counties--in fact, maybe a little bigger than most U.S. counties. Ireland has an area of 84,421 km square (not sure what percentage of this is land) and 32 counties, for an average county size of 2,638 km square.

The U.S. state with the fewest counties is Delaware, which has just 3 (1,682 km sq each). The U.S. state with the most is Texas, with 254 counties (2664 km sq each--just a little bit bigger than Ireland!). The state with the biggest counties (again, excluding Alaska, because the unorganized borough messes things up) is Arizona, whose counties are on average 19,614 km square--just seven Arizona-sized counties would cover all of England. The state with the smallest counties is Rhode Island, whose counties average 536 km sq--at 3,144 km square in total, Rhode Island itself is smaller than the average county in fourteen states.

In terms of population, of course, the size of US counties probably varies even more wildly than their land area, but on average they compare reasonably to the local administrative divisions of other countries (some of which are third-level and some of which are second-level, depending on their size). U.S. counties have a population of about 108,000 on average. In the Republic of Ireland (so, not including the six counties of the North), counties have an average population of about 192,000. In Germany, local government areas (Kreise) have an average population of about 207,000 (though the three city-states of Berlin, Hamburg, and Bremen complicate this picture somewhat). The actual on-the-ground local government scheme in England is complex, and it is not clear to me what the modern U.S. county or German Kreise equivalent would be.

ethan and josh being in the fortnight music video has me screaming, crying, throwing up, absolutely losing my GOD DAMN MIND. i am not well.

[mihai-florescu]

Rereading things i write im fed up with how many times i repeat "i think" or "i feel" or "i believe" instead of just saying the statement... but i do worry of the worst faith readings of my thoughts and dont want to make blanket statements. It is all from my perspective... i think everyone experiences life and reality so differently i wouldnt want to invalidate someone else's views. Even if i may think theyre wrong and sometimes am overcome by a painful superiority complex. I dont think thats who i really am... maybe sometimes? I dont know. The idea of an identity is still not something ive fully grasped. I understand in theory its necessity in society but it's only relevant for other people and your relationship to them, not you yourself... or thats how i view it, at least.

[bmpmp3]

when people complain about getting like, a 98% grade on something because it was "so close to perfect" its like. i understand what you're saying on a technical level. but that is a line of thought so far away from my experiences and ways of thinking that i do feel like im from another planet. 100% isnt even a real number to me

[bittsandpieces]

You're lucky to have a cute co-worker but daily horny thoughts is definitely a mood!

Dude he's getting moved into my department and I don't know how I'm going to cope, he's a foot taller than me and has big ass shoulders and a tiny waist and he's smart and pretty 😭😭😭 I'm gonna die from horniness
