take that dirk strider tag off yhat post about my life or so help me god

dukeofriven

Someone standing in a glass house smooching a severed head doesn't get to complain about the hurled stones.

I think one of my least favourite things in fiction is any scenario in which we're supposed to know a Captain or a Commander is the good kind of leader because they just want you to call them Brad, not sir. They're casual, down to earth, don't care about the hierarchy, because that would intrinsically be a bad thing, not like our good ol' leader Brad. But anyone who's ever had a friendly manager knows that verbally ignoring the existence of a hierarchy doesn't make a hierarchy not exist. Sometimes it makes an environment more relaxing, but often it just makes a sort of forced casualness, a pretense of 'being all the same' that doesn't exist. My commander isn't just like me - they get paid more than me, they have powers I do not have, and tomorrow they may order me to go and die. We're not 'all the same,' we're different in some crucial ways. It's not about not being friendly—it's not a cry that every commander needs to be an isolated, lonely figure—but rather 'just call me Brad' never reads to me that a commander is a cool, hip, down to earth kind of person, he reads to me as someone at-best ambivalent and at-worst highly anxious about their role, but it rarely feels like that's what any writer is going for. Really what's under examination here is the author: if you the author are deeply anxious to not portray a hierarchy in your hierarchy, if you're essentially looking for some military costuming to slap on your fun time gang, why are you giving it a military milieu in the first place? What is it you're nervous about? Why are you convinced that your audience won't be able to relate or like your leader figure if they don't object to the usual trappings of leadership?

like the idea of unnaturally aged cheese. making my gouda old using dread magics forbidden by the college of sorcery

abalidoth

this cheese was aged by sending it to the beach that makes you old

Palm. Or the one in Death Stranding, but they're essentially the same.

I’ve been watching so many old garbage movies recently that I’ve started to have like 60s sci fi themed nightmares where I’m being attacked by like horrible ape monsters and it’s actually scary as fuck! What an awful problem to have

Last night I had a dream about a terrible science experiment called Moon 13 that involved putting scantily clad women inside of large lava lamps to harness their innate psychic ability. I wish this was a joke

dukeofriven

Moon 13 was the research station run by Kinga Forrester. It served as the base of operations for the revived "Mystery Science Theater 3000"

Frankly I'm just impressed the input UI is that intuitive.

How is it that you can a music library of like 1,200+ absolute bangers but as soon as you put it on shuffle in a group setting it's like. anime opening you added in 2010. homestuck parody song. musical artist who was cancelled last year for kidnapping and eating children in his basement. Hamilton

dukeofriven

Which is weird because I could swear I've taken Hamilton off at least three times. At least the Homestuck parody song isn't banking system apologia.

I mean, yes, I'm "literally from Hell" if you wanna get real technical about it, but I don't do what I do because I'm inherently evil. Like all beings, my actions are informed by their material circumstances – the material circumstances in question being "it would be really, really funny".

dukeofriven

Is that material circumstance? Is comedy quantifiable? Commodifable?

I think we should figure out what age we’re living in now so we can say how it’s collapsing to each other

insomniac-arrest

Our age of plastics is collapsing

Our age of silicon is collapsing

An hour of wolves and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down.

I found some old sketches of Centaurs and got a little bit excited by them. Horses are hard to draw but so dynamic and fun!

Well of course. Chinese has two main dialects: Cantonese and Montanan.

My favourite fandom trolling is to paradrop into Homestuck discourse and declare "Terezi did nothing wrong," ardently defend the position for a few posts and then leave without warning.

See, "Vriska did nothing wrong" is so overplayed that people don't even react to it anymore. When you hit them with the Rezster, though, they don't know how to react. They're forced to actually consider what Terezi did and whether it was wrong.

She licked the paintings at the see party, which was, at the very least, rather gouache.
