#very lucky man

[pratchettquotes]

"I have to tell you, sir, that Lady Sybil has found out about the bacon sandwich arrangement. She said to tell you the game was up, sir."

"I am the commander around here, you know," said Vimes, with as much hauteur as he could muster on an empty stomach.

"Yes, sir. But Lady Sybil has a very quiet way of being firm, sir."

"She has, hasn't she," said Vimes as they strolled toward the building. "I'm a very lucky man, you know," he added, just in case Carrot may have got the wrong impression.

"Yes, sir. You are indeed."

Terry Pratchett, Thud!

For a moment, imagine yourself in Mithrun's brother shoes.

Your brother - stronger, prettier, more charismatic, but also distrustful and disdainful of everyone especially you - is to be sent to the Canaries. It is the rule, it is the duty of all noble houses. But you know what goes on there, Mithrun knows what happens there. Yet you see him off, bidding a temporary farewell as you do, because someone from the House has to go and it won't be definitely you. Mithrun knows this, you know this. And you wonder, very briefly, if Mithrun hates you now more than he does already.

Your brother - powerful, agile, a good soldier just as he is as an heir, if he could only be an heir - suddenly disappears. The unit he belonged to suddenly disappeared. And you're speechless because - how? why? No one wants to answer you; they will instead try to bring back a body, they promise to you. But that is not what you want. You grieve for your brother. but your own family doesn't grieve with you. Wasn't Mithrun family too?

Then you found out: MIthrun is alive.

Your brother - now weak, despondent, his eyes always looking for something that is not here nor there - is to be sent home where people can take care of him. It is not your first choice, you want him home. But he is - sick. Not quite there. He needs someone who can look after him and you look at yourself - your gait, your constitution - and you know it can't be you. So, you follow the advice of your family and pour out all your resources to find him the best of healers and caretakers. You ask yourself, almost daily, if Mithrun would ever return to who he once was.

Your brother - strong, pretty, uninterested of anything and anyone else aside from what he calls 'the demon' - is now better. He can walk on his own now, eats without throwing up on himself. The color on his skin is back and the scars of his injuries have faded into thick bumps and discolored skin. But he still isn't quite there; still needs help and probably will for the rest of his life. And you can live with that. You can provide that. Just as long as he comes home.

But doesn't. Your brother - now a husk of his former self, and you hate thinking of him that way, but you can't help yourself, the Mithrun you knew is gone - runs straight back to the Canaries. His mission is not over, he says. He doesn't care how long it takes, he says. And you see him off, again, because someone from the House has to go and it still can't be you. Mithrun knows this, you know this, and you can't help but wish, very briefly, if things would've been different if you went instead of him.

Island girl, Marin!

I still haven’t played Link’s Awakening, I’m wondering if I should drop the 60 on the remake or suck it up and play the old one on the free Nintendo apps

Edit: I did buy it and I just finished it and I realized that Marin has ROUND ears 😭

i think a lot about how the roman thermae and bathing culture is presented as a sign of how Civilized and Advanced the romans were but one of the essential parts of the thermae was the caldarium, essentially a sauna, which was heated up through the floor.... under which slaves constantly had to toil to feed the fire while suffocating in the heat and steam that would rise through the floor to make free romans and the slaves' masters get a nice sweat, free to move on to the cold baths in the next room whenever they wanted.

[ID: Two panels from Dungeon Meshi featuring Laios, Senshi, and Chilchuck.

Panel 1: Laios says, "Does that mean I have to spend the rest of my life... feeling slightly hungry all the time?"

Panel 2: Senshi replies, "Aye, so it seems." Chilchuck: You have my sympathies. Laios: T-this can't be true... /End ID]

[ID: Three panels from Dungeon Meshi featuring Marcille, Laios, and Senshi.

Panel 1: Marcille: Is it painful? Laios: Well, no... it's just the constant feeling of only being about 40% full.

Panel 2: Laios: I'd like to eat a little bit more. Senshi, could you serve me another por-...

Panel 3: Senshi stares at Laios while holding the empty pot of the stew that Laios just consumed. /End ID]

Just still thinking about how being constantly hungry would fuck with someone's head. Like he says here that it's the constant feeling of only being 40% full but like, he's been feasting for seven days and nights. Man just finished a whole post of stew intended to be eaten by five people by himself and had another whole pot of stew before that one. So that's feeling only 40% full when he should be feeling stuffed as a turkey.

How bad is that hunger when he hasn't eaten anything? Would it be unbearable then? Painful? Feel like being starved?

Or is it a flat 40% fullness feeling no matter what? Could he go several days without eating and not notice until his body gives out b/c he didn't feel any hungrier?
