We know Stan also had poor eye sight growing up but what if him not wearing glasses as a child is the whole reason he never made it very far academically

There will come a day when people that aren't into A/B/O will find my "omegaverse slurs" post and realise they're not real. That they're for fictional people, in a fictional world, and have nothing to do with real-life-humans. Like, at all. And that their usage is for fictional usage only, and not meant to target any one group (not even misce people).
And that most importantly they're not framed as a good thing to use? They're meant to be used in unfavorable depictions of characters and societies in fanfiction. Not as cool hip-with-the-youth slang lmao.
This day is still far into the wishful thinking time-space though. One day, however, we may reach that level of awareness.

everytime i rewatch black sails, i find myself like vane more and more ngl. the first season really tries hard to trick you into thinking he’s just unnecessarily, banally, and uncompellingly an asshole (in the overwhelmingly compelling asshole show), whose one redeeming feature is that he’s kinda pathetic too. but geez s2 really nails home everytime that hes the best and the coolest and the most honest (maybe even most compassionate) of the mcs up until this point, barring anne of course. and on top of that i actually kind of think he has the best pre-s3 speeches. like obvs s4 flint is yknow s4 flint. and s3 max is so insane i actually cant handle it. but oh my god charles vane’s letter and his fuck your legitimacy eleanor speech and his hanging speech are so good. and fuck what i said earlier isnt even true. bc his s1 speech while hes looking in the eyes of the little boy he used to be is actually like the bestest. like fuck ok. charles vane is the best actually. #1 anarchist boy. 10/10 would want him in my commune. hed point blank refuse to help with the dishes tho so 😬.

I swear this man failed on purpose!! What master? He wouldn't even let me take a turn either. There was a new color I don't have!! He kept going for JUST one that you can't get too.
Rafayel give me back my free turn today! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
****************************************************
Rafayel has officially redeemed himself! He caught Steamy Birb for me. Just when I thought this one had escaped me yesterday. A second chance!

People be like 'lmao not even SJM likes Tamlin, he will never be relevant again' like....so? SJM can kill him off and make Feyre and Rhys use his wolf pelt as a blanket, this has like zero bearing on me liking or investing time on a character lmao
This obsession with canon is so funny to me. Have y'all never liked a side character that beefed it early on or just isn't as relevant to the plot? That's what makes creating fanworks for them so fun! Live a little!

do you ever realise that they ruined diego hargreeves immediately after season 1 because he's the one character who knew from conception that their father was wrong and abusive and they don't need to kill each other just because he said so and that's antithetical to what they frankensteined this beautiful story of post-abuse healing as a family into and need to sit down for a second

Okay, I'll say it. I don't like the idea that post epilogue, Dammon is just banging away at his forge alone, still holding a torch for Karlach. This isn't some comment made in jealousy at all, but one meant to say Dammon deserves better than to be some kind of thirst joke afterthought.
At the epilogue party, the game makes it pretty clear she's with Wyll if alive and not romancing the player.
In a DLC, Dammon is the perfect candidate to become an Artificer companion-hells maybe even become an origin option too! But most of us would settle for him to be simply a companion and romanceable like Halsin and Minthara or just a romanceable NPC that's not some one-time fling. He's someone we can visit on the daily most of the time, so yes, it can work.
But why? Because he deserves to be wooed and romanced by Karlach, Tav, one of the other companions, or hells all three at once. To say he can't be romanceable because he would lose his mystery is pure bullshit. Sorry Frazier, but it's true.
Gaw! It's so frustrating when a solution and an opportunity are all right there, and it's overlooked or ignored. He can be BOTH romanceable and mysterious when all that's needed is to write him in a way that leaves the player yet not Tav or Durge in the dark.
Dammon could even be written in a way where the player questions if our fav blacksmith could be up to no good. Let the fandom sweat over and argue about whether or not we should help him with some mysterious mission. Have him outright refuse to elaborate on it. Let him be equally tight-lipped about all he was forced to do or willingly did to survive in the hells when working on infernal machinery. This way, Frazier can play what he loves to play the most, and that is at least a potential bad guy. Well, not mean to the player but instead a character some might find almost as sketchy as Astarion is viewed would be fine.
*sighs* Why does he need to be romancable to everyone too? The simple answer, all of us could use a little bit more sunshine.
If I could say one thing to Frazier, it would be, "Karlach is not the only touch or affection-starved character out there. There are so many real people who need a Dammon in some form in their lives, even if it's only fictional. Karlach and Dammon's story is important to us. A Dammon and Tav/Durge story is just as important, too. These stories of love and friendship all need to be shown and celebrated. Plus, Dammon comes off as warm, thoughtful, and supportive, and so many of us out there really desperately need that-the more the better. We need it to feed our hopes to keep trying and open up our hearts again. So let him help fix heal more than just one heart, please. We all want to see him grow just a little more because he's such a fantastic character so far."

to me there's a distinct and meaningful difference between scientist and engineer. they're comrades in the same project! both sides of the coin are required. but they're distinct mindsets
the scientist is primarily concerned with "why", whereas the engineer is primarily concerned with "what". when faced with three potential algorithms for solving a specific task, a computer scientist sits down and calculates which is theoretically most efficient, then implements it; a computer engineer implements all three, measures, and picks the fastest one
you could argue that either method is a waste of time or effort compared to your preferred one, especially if they both end up agreeing. but sometimes they don't agree! and noticing and picking apart that dissonance is how we learn
