there is not a unit of time currently in existence small enough that it could accurately measure just how fast archer would kill tuvix

i saw this somewhere else but reply / tag what you did today so everyone can see that we all did something different today

I love it when ppl who listen to a lot of country do the whole "rap music is bad because of Crime and Drug" thing cuz listen Brantleigh not 5 minutes ago you and me was joyously singing along to Steve Earle talking about defending his weed farm from the cops by blowing them up with improvised explosive devices so I think u might just be racist

Okay look you're right and also this is a very good example but now I have Copperhead Road stuck in my head. :/

That's like saying it's great to go outside in the late afternoon "but" you "have to" see the sunset

having used tumblr as a teenager is a vaccination against using tiktok today

i realize you’re probably half-joking but legitimately having this level of control over what i see on my dash and not having the popularity of my posts determined by The Algorithm makes using tiktok feel like my body is fighting a Disease

‘unreliable narrator’ but it’s ’narrator is deeply in love with the person they are narrating’

hate it when you see something in media that has great kink potential so you skedoodle post-haste to ao3 only to discover there's none fic left beef and then you have to sit there going oh I see I'M the pervert weirdo I'M the problem with society and everyone else in the world is going to heaven with a hundred innocence dollars preloaded onto their ole fashioned wholesome funtimes themepark fast pass card like fuckin oath man

#particularly when its something you're not even actually into but its just so Obvious how could it Not be on ao3#but then it isnt. do you have a duty to place the fic in its rightful ecological niche just because you have the vision?#do you have to track down a perv of the appropriate disposition and gift it to them?#do you leave well enough alone even though you can See the absence like a wound in the side of Truth?

I wish more fantasy settings had the stuff discworld does. I don't mean the big themes, although I do wish more books had those too. I mean fantasy settings where there are newspapers, birth control, pizza, vibrators, crisps, unions, dog biscuits, fan clubs... just normal stuff that turns up when you have a lot of people in one place. A lot of fantasy seems to take the view that you won't have any of this stuff if you've got magic, but why wouldn't you? Some fantasy settings don't even have pencils. And what about toilet paper? Food that isn't enormous, elaborate feasts? Literacy rates? Pop culture? It feels like Ankh-Morpork in particular is just ticking over as usual when we're not looking and that it really does have a million people in it. And yet sometimes other fantasy just... doesn't bother with any of this stuff at all.

Yes, this! Ancient Rome had take out. Ancient Sumerians had complaint letters about folks who shorted them on substandard copper. People wrote stupid graffiti on the walls of Pompeii. There were children who doodled dogs in the edges of their books as far back as children had books. The monks illuminated manuscripts had cat paw prints where they got into the ink. People have been people for all of history and sure, there are grand sweeping empires, but inside the empires are little stories about the actor who messed up his line in Orestes.

watching a fictional character stop being the same age as you is fucked up

The problem with sewing is that you quickly realise you have dumped lots of skill points into control thread and furthermore, there’s a lot of other hobbies that require control thread so you decide to pick up knitting, or crochet, or weaving, and then spinning happens to you, or rug making, or cord weaving, and then you turn the wrong corner on the internet and find out control thread also specs into basket weaving, and book binding, and then you’re thinking things like “I wonder if this also applies to lead climbing” and now you have A Problem
