Soup solves everything.

just thinking about how binghe had no idea that without-a-cure even had a cure and he spent all his years as a disciple thinking his shizun would at best be disabled for the rest of his life and at worst die a slow and painful death, and it was to save him.

i love it when bad is very specifically a good roleplayer by giving other people good prompts. like casually bringing up wilbur now to tallulah. or when he put missa in the petting zoo. or all those times he Tormented the Lesbians so they could protect each other from him. its just so !!!! I love watching roleplayers be considerate of other roleplayers and gleefully hand over something they Know the other person's character can react to. i've seen cellbit do it, too (that time he handed his knife to bbh. oh my god). it's not a rare thing, and it's possible to be a good roleplayer without keeping that sort of considerate back and forth in mind, but its one of my favourite things to notice. foolish does it too, sometimes- i haven't watched him much, but i did take note of when he Made Sure to bring jaiden along with him on a cucurucho quest. and basically every interaction he had with bad when the eggs were missing. its just so so good

Okey wait I am thinking more about Charles his bag, because how does it work? Like I kinda get it but what are the physics of that bag? Both the bomb and molotov are fully lit when he pulls them out, which means they stop burning when in the bag? Does that mean that it is like a universe where time stops inside of that bag? Do the bees in a jar also just freeze in place in the bag? But why then are Charles and Edwin able to go in and out of the bag? Do sentient beings not freeze and just like flames do?

I am very much thinking to much about something I shouldnt be thinking this much... but I just need to know how the bag works

I said I would dissapear for my exams, but I would never not be active on pride month so screw them >:D

I recently started to watch ninjago for three dumb reasons, guess which ones ~

And her I went on my way to make a small sheet of personal takes and headcanons. I'm having a lot of fun with these and I've already started other stuff about it, no one can stop me hahaha!

Process under the cut:

at this point, combing through boards to post and going “oh i forgot i referenced that” is also a part of my boarding process

Current thoughts: This species of magical fish that make their own version of “pearls”, works sorta the same way it does with oysters, something rough gets in their throat, they cover it in bio material to make it softer, and voila! a “pearl”, except being that these are fish, they can just spit them out

These pearls are v valuable in the magic community, and, unfortunately for these fish, despite the fact that it’s easy to collect these pearls, that’s not enough for some people, and they’ll fill their habitat and food with harsh things to force the pearl making process, not only harming the fishes’ throats, but also the rest of their fragile bodies

Anyways, there’s a magical person who raises these fish, but not for the pearls, just because they want the fish to have happy lives (they still do have a ton of pearls, showing how unnecessarily cruel it is to force the process, even just a particularly rough bit of fish food can cause a pearl)

And they’re currently in danger because they recently got a request from someone who obviously just wants pearls and doesn’t care about the fish’ livelihood to buy one of their fish, and this person gave them an emphatic no (they don’t sell their fish at all, but they’re especially not selling one to someone who could harm them) and that person did not take being told “no” very well

Never underestimate the healing power of a good meal!

I really like you, Karan.

The foreshadowing was there all along.

quick 15min doodle, bc I'm working on (currently only hypothetically tho :c) Something based on that post about "would mae survive castle dracula"

inspired by this snippet of a conversation w @nelyoslegalteam

regarding dungeon immortality, i didn't really think tansu's comments meant *this* dungeon is unique in that regard. him saying 'here' just distinguishes the dungeon from the outside world, he could say the same about any dungeon. if there's something unique about this dungeon that caused them to choose it specifically to investigate, i would assume it's one of two things: one, this dungeon has a rare combination of different characteristics, like the fact that it's a good sized artificial dungeon in this stage of activity, as opposed to being a small dungeon, a natural dungeon, or a declining or dormant dungeon, and it's not controlled by the elves, dwarves, or some other power that would restrict access from private researchers like his group. or two, the immortality spell itself isn't unique, but they think the artificial elements of the dungeon, like the dwarven runes, might have clues about what ancient people or the mad mage have discovered about how dungeon immortality works that would make it usable as a spell outside dungeons, and *that* might be unique to this dungeon.

Yeah, thinking about it there's some ways it makes sense I just didn't think it was clear enough in the text but that might just be how I read, I thought of it of kind of a "mistake" because I've seen several people confused by how he talks about it, but again, might have been on purpose

I don't think it's an actual "mistake" just the closest thing I think feels contradicting, again, red herrings and misinformation is part of the story so I might be wrong and just missing something or forgetting something

Like, I think it makes sense he doesn't actually know why the elves want to go into the dungeon and it makes sense he thinks they want to research immortality like he is, it's just the wording that to me sounded like it was somehow special to this dungeon

Something I wish was clearer I guess? So I didn't have to fill in so many blanks myself 🤔

HarperCollins is asking authors to license their books for AI training

Authors would have to opt-in to the agreement with an unnamed AI firm, with one reporting an offer of $2,500 to license their book for three years.

According to a statement HarperCollins gave to 404 Media, the agreement protects authors’ “underlying value of their works and our shared revenue and royalty streams.” Author Daniel Kibblesmith posted screenshots of an email showing that he would be paid $2,500 if he allowed one of his books to be licensed.

I do not care how it's dressed. I do not care what carrots are dangled. I do not care what promises are made or how sneakily these vultures try to inject AI scraping horseshit into their programs and contracts.

Fuck AI Writing.

Fuck AI Art.

Full stop. No exceptions, no excuses.
