[wynn-43]

to add on to this: the sexualisation of gay relationships is fucking insane. its so creepy how much y'all want them to kiss each other.

like the blatant fetishisation of gay/mlm relationships in stayville is genuinely disgusting to me.

if they are gay, good for them! dont make EVERY SINGLE interaction between them a whole "omggg they should kiss" "oh theyre so gay for each other" "i get butterflies thinking about them kissing" like let them have meaningful platonic relationships without being sexualised and shipped.

i genuinely think that nationalism is a big problem within stayville. which is a weird problem for a FANDOM to have, but everyone seems to think that their country is the centre of the universe and should therefore be the most important to skz.

grow the fuck up, you do not own them, be grateful that you can see them and be mature if you can't.

Dragon Age NPC Ages in DA: The Veilguard

This assumes that the 9 10 years between Dragon Age Inquisition and Dragon Age: The Veilguard refer to the Trespasser DLC (as in the last time Varric would have seen Solas; confirmed in Dev Q&A on 6/14/24). This places DAV in 9:54. Characters who showed up in a previous game will not be repeated in the lists for later games they also appeared in (i.e., Leliana is under DAO, not DAI).

Read more for length & spoiler reasons. The ages listed are assuming they have not had their birthday in 9:54 yet.

ETA1: I used the ages & evidence summarized by @dalishious in this post, superseding those ages with newer evidence where available or my own interpretation of textual evidence (when given a range I personally favor smack in the middle more often than not).

ETA2: Changed year/ages to reflect the Q&A information that Veilguard is 10 years post-Trespasser, not 9 as originally stated.

ETA3: It's officially set in 9:52, so just subtract 2 years from everyone.

Supreme Court turns down Trump donor Steve Wynn's bid to overturn libel precedent

Wynn had asked the Supreme Court to overturn the landmark New York Times v. Sullivan ruling, which protects news companies.

March 24, 2025, 7:43 AM MST / Updated March 24, 2025, 11:14 AM MST

By Lawrence Hurley

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Monday turned away a bid by top Republican donor and former casino magnate Steve Wynn to undermine legal protections for news companies facing defamation suits.

Wynn asked the court to overturn the 1964 Supreme Court defamation ruling in New York Times v. Sullivan, which concluded that there must be evidence of “actual malice” for a public figure to pursue a defamation claim.

6,129 stitches, 43 colours, and 50 hours, 39 minutes, 46 seconds (I tracked it)

The stitching is done!! I still need to iron it and finish it (I might frame it - I’d prefer to hoop it but it’s nearly 9” tall so I’d need to find a big enough hoop for that)

shoutout to reading The Good Work (scp) aloud to three friends and having to take a pause towards the last sections because I was genuinely sobbing too hard to speak properly. They werent lyin that work is GOOD. I will never be ok about Scout and Wynn now oh my fucking goddddddd. I bet on loosing dogs ass situation. Who controls the flood gates vivian. I need to eat glass. Doomed old man yaoi

[welfycat]

I reached 800 read unique books on Goodreads on November 27, 2024. (600 of them were in the past six years.)

Unfortunately this isn't a full list of everything I've read, as for a number of years I somehow completely blocked out that Goodreads existed. Unfortunately I've also lost about 7-8 years of memory due to ECT (electro convulsive therapy) and have no idea what I read during that time. I also have read a ton of fanfiction over the past 25 years and that's obviously not represented here.

My biggest genre is fantasy at 337 books, which is no surprise to me or anyone who knows me. Weirdly, fantasy is not the genre I write in, despite my adoration of it.

Runners up are YA and middle grade (at 171 and 155 respectively). I've been rereading a number of books I read as a kid to see how they compare to my memories of them and in some cases I've been shocked by what was acceptable to publish fifty or sixty years ago in kids' books. I still read a few new YA books every year, but not as many as I used to. Usually, when reading YA, I often just have this voice in my head that is relieved I am no longer a teenager.

Sci Fi is next at 134 (48 of those are Star Trek books). I love science fiction, but don't read as much of it as I would like. It can be difficult to find women-centric sci-fi, but Murderbot by Martha Wells and Aliette de Bodard's Xuya books have been a nice change of pace.

Non-fiction is at 51 books, and I'd like to do better in this category. There are so many interesting things to read and learn and I regret neglecting this aspect of reading for so long. My future goals include 1-2 non-fiction books a month.

Most read authors: Brandon Sanderson (43 books), Stephen King (42 books), Rick Riordan (27 books), and Terry Pratchett (23 books - this will grow as I continue to read my way through Discworld at the pace of a book a month).

What's next?

For reading, I'm reading through Stephen King's books chronologically by publishing date. I have about thirty left. Continuing to read Discworld. Reading the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine books. Additional authors coming up on my reading list: Ursula Le Guin, Diane Wynne Jones, Suzanne Collins, and Jim Butcher.

For writing, I've finished one YA novel and it's currently with beta readers. More editing on that scheduled in December. I intend to start writing a second standalone novel in January.

Here's to more words!

[thelonelybrilliance]

2023 Reads: thelonelybrilliance

Final count 72! I set a goal of 52 originally but raised the bar when I realized that would only bring me into early November.

Decided it would be fun to share some stats and recommendations along with the full list.

First, ten recommendations:

The Queen's Thief series by Megan Whalen Turner (best completed series)

Gregory Orr, The Last Love Poem I Will Ever Write (best new poetry read)

Minka Kelly, Tell Me Everything (best memoir)

E.B. White, Here Is New York (best short read)

Carrie Fisher, The Princess Diarist (best journals)

Sydney Taylor, All-of-a-Kind Family (best children's lit)

Laurie Halse Anderson, Shout (best poetry memoir)

George Eliot, Middlemarch (best classic)

Michelle Zauner, Crying in H Mart (best food writing)

Red Rising series by Pierce Brown (best sci-fi/ongoing series + best audio drama (Red Rising (Book 1))

Of my 72 reads, 31 were rereads, 41 new . Four were audiobooks, the rest print (primarily e-books). My longest read was David Copperfield by Charles Dickens. My shortest read (I think? A lot of poetry collections are short) was the longform essay, Here Is New York by E.B. White. I read the most books in December (15) and the least in June (2). 50 authors were women, 21 were men, and one poetry collection was multi-author. My most-read authors were as follows:

Megan Whalen Turner (7 books)

Lucy Maud Montgomery (6 books)

Louise Glück (5 books)

Elizabeth Wein (5 books)

Jane Austen (3 books)

Pierce Brown (3 books)

OLD MAN YURI ENJOYERS I CALL UPON YE

I need people to care about the Scout/Rydderech/Twist Yuri love triangle so I'm making a mini reading list

SCP-5382 - Introduction to Thilo Zwist

SCP-5520 - Introduction to Wynn Rydderech and how he loses himself

Getting Your Whiskers in a Zwist - This is a fairly funny tale about Zwist and Scout, something to easy you into the rest of everything.

The Good Work - please don't let the length intimidate you, this tale is amazing. Goes through and carefully chronicles the lives of and relationship between Scout and Rydderech. Discusses a lot of On Guard 43 lore, but I promise you can gather all of it through context clues.

Come Home for Zwistmas - Topical for this time of year, has the chance to explore the Rydderech/Zwist half of the miserycule.

For more I really can't recommend reading On Guard 43. It's long as fuck but it's worth it.
