Being critical of your interests is sooooo fun when you have the critic gene & then you sound kind of insane to the average tv watcher when you're like "this is my favorite show, It's Racist" & then you try to clarify what you mean & get that [Speech (legendary) - FAILURE] "the racism is really interesting though"
[Speech (legendary) - SUCCESS] I find the sociopolitical context of pulpy old sci-fi born circa the civil rights movement really fascinating to analyze especially when it was progressive for its time but still reveals the writers' unexamined biases in the subtext
Them: So you're saying its bad and I shouldn't watch it?
Me: I mean depends on your tolerance for this type of racism, but like I said it's my favourite show, it def has some great parts if you're up for it.
Them: Oh so it's not racist.
Me: It absolutely is.
Them: So you're saying racism is ok??
Me: No.
I'm fascinated by bigotry. The philosophy, the unspoken parts, the history, the combination of reality and falsehood that it's built on, the deep flaws... But then I'm like "hey do you wanna hear how much I know about transphobia??" and it kinda doesn't come off right
i bring a sort of "this character is canonically malnourished and would gain at least a couple pounds during their hypothetical healing arc wherein they get better" vibe to the function that people dont really like
Spin the wheel. Now, imagine you're on a first date with someone who says they`re a [result]. How does this affect the odds of a second date?
100% guarantee I'll want a second date
It's significantly more likely
The odds don't change
It's significantly less likely
There wont be a second date. Absolutely not

Feeling sappy about Hal and Thaisha’s children again. I made a previous post before discovering Alogar wasn’t at the Make-an-Angel workshop talking about how his heroic stand against the undead was probably inspired by his heroic mama. And now we have Shadia, just like her papa, using her craft to make her own stories, and following Hal’s lead and taking her own stand. She’s the one who put the Faerie Doors at the front, her love of stories and history was what changed the blades into something new.
Shadia and Alogar are foils to the children of the Sundered Houses and Shapers. They’re inspired by their family but not controlled by them, they’re deeply loved but not coddled. Their parents want them to be safe, but still have faith that they can hold their own. They respect their children’s autonomy. They take after their parents because their parents loved them and gave them the space to choose their own paths. They don’t need their parents and are not forced into depending on them (as we see with Sylandri.)
I don’t really have the words to finish my thoughts on this, just feeling sappy about how family is explored in this season.
I love how quickly Hero goes from the formal "Master Lathalia" this and "Master Lathalia" that to "Please, Uncle Bolaire" when she really wants to stay and watch the dangerous magical process. 🤣
(And it worked!)
Uncle Bolaire, knowing Hero's disregard for personal safety: "You could get hurt, and your father will kill me. So, keep me safe, please."

It’s not a Discworld joke unless you read it, don’t parse it as a joke, and then carry on with your life for ten years until someone stops you to say something like “It’s a pavlovian response because the dog ate a pavlova” and you scream Terry’s name with enough indignant rage you hope it rattles the pillars of the multiverse so wherever his soul is he’ll hear it.
#i don’t think this is what pterry meant by ‘a man’s not dead while his name is still spoken’
I absolutely think it is
I read Jingo for the first time when I was 13.
I’m 33 now, and I still discover a new joke every time I reread it.
Terry was a comedic genius
#shoutout to the one in Soul Music about the leopard that got thrown out of the circus because it couldn't hear the ringmaster#it was several months after my second or third time reading the book that I clocked it was a Deaf Leopard (via @morkaischosen)
god DAMMIT
When I was informed that “Vetinari” is a pun on “Medici”. That pun was so painful I couldn’t even see it.
...are you FUCKING KIDDING ME.
*starts thunderously knocking on the doors of heaven*
get out here Terry I just wanna talk
Twurp’s Peerage made me throw a book (gently) at a wall.
In the UK, the book of the peerage is called Burke’s Peerage. Burke sounds like berk, which means a silly/annoying person. So Terry took ‘twerp’, another word for a silly or annoying person, and replaced the e with u.
The Book of Silly and Annoying People, based on the real thing with a pun on the name thrown in for good measure.
OMG I FUCKING *KNEW* VETINARI WAS A JOKE ON FUCKONG SOMETHING I JUST COULDNT GRASP IT. I THOUGHT IT WAS A REFERENCE TO WIND SOMEHOW
I am not a talented punster so I was today old when I realised about Vetinari.
guys it's fucking close to water
Latinclass ca. 9th grade: the text we had to translate contained the words trans means "on the other side of" or in german it can be translated to "über/ hinüber". Also silvas; silvanis means "the forest" or in german "der Wald".
Trans silvas very simply translated into german would be über den Wald
Trans silvas -> Transsilvanien -> Überwald
My latin teacher gave me a very weird look as I suddenly facepalmed myself and groaned quietly.
The Venturi and Selachii feud is what killed me when I got it.
The Venturi Effect is a scientific term referring to the acceleration of a liquid through a narrow tube (like a jet).
Selachii is a classification of sharks. (I discovered this when my stepson got really into sharks)
... fucking HELL Terry.
In Carpe Jugulum, Count Magpyr boasts of having helped write the Malleus Maleficarum, along with the Torquus Simiae Maleficarum, the Auriga Clavium Maleficarum, and in fact the entire Arca Instrumentorum.
The Malleus Maleficarum is a very real, very nasty and absolutely batshit insane book from late 15th-century Germany, basically laying out the procedure for catching, torturing, and executing witches. Its title translates to The Hammer of Witches. The other titles are Pratchett's inventions.
Malleus = "hammer" Torquus Simiae = "monkey wrench" Auriga Clavium = "bucket of nails" Arca Instrumentorum = "box of tools"
Monstrous Regiment is named for a pamphlet written by extremely shouty Calvinist and one of the leaders of the new Church of Scotland, John Knox, in the 16th century against all the women getting into positions of power in politics at the time (Liz I, Mary Queen of Scots etc). The document itself is titled "The First Blast of the Trumpet against the monstrous regiment of Women".
In a book about an overbearing and baffling and misogynist God and the heroes being a ragtag regiment of literal women and monsters, I punched the air on that one. The layers of pun are built up like a millefeuille.
(Also, if you read some of the stuff in the actual tract, you can see where Pterry got some of Nuggan's laws, although proceed with caution because it's a vitriolic piece of work)
Honestly, Tvyek is pretty miraculous. It’s permeable to water vapor but not to water, it’s nearly impossible to tear, but can be easily cut. It’s cheap and made entirely without binding chemicals. In addition to being used for wristbands, it’s used to wrap construction sites to keep out water during construction, for tear-resistant envelopes at Fed-Ex, coveralls for mechanics, and my wallet, actually.
Fun tip, though it looks like paper, Tyvek is plastic, and cannot be recycled with paper.
holy fuc
I didn’t even know it had a name
Hiromu Arakawa’s genius is obvious throughout all of FMA but her first and biggest leap of genius was in how she crafted her protagonist.
Arakawa realized the burgeoning youth of the early 2000s wasnt interested in another plucky spry optimistic young shonen protag. Instead she gave us a short ugly egotistical asshole smarter-than-you atheist with so much money and power that people could no longer best him in arguments by telling him “dude shut up ur literally like 12″
Five pages in we’re told Edward’s famous and rich and powerful. Five more pages and he’s calling some girl stupid for thinking God exists. Five more pages and he’s proven right. Five more and he’s kicked an evil priest’s teeth in. And no one can tell his mom on him.
Hiromu Arakawa figured out the dream of every edgy young weeb discovering internet arguments for the first time and she cast them an idol made of gold.
i would die for a tiny little piece of content from hal's daughters perspective where they just kinda gossip about everything that's happening
because a) they are cool i want to be friends with them but they are way above my league and also not real and b) well they are old and smart enough to know for sure that something's up and to have their own thoughts about it
imagine your dad picking up the sword of his dead brother and leaving you both to live together with one of your moms for a while right after the funeral ceremony. and then he comes late for the burial itself, bringing with him a not-so-close-to-the-family-itself friend and the smell of sewers. and then, for one of you, your professor (the friend in question btw) just kinda forces you to an internship program without asking and you just go with it. AND THEN there's a fucking assassination attempt right at the gala originally organized just to celebrate the theater and your dad ofc sends you all home immediately and after that never explains what went wrong. and also your dad is clearly constantly worried about something, everything, no matter how hard he hides it behind his work and smiles and other stuff. oh yeah and then everything concerning the museum, the theater itself, the bunch of weird people your dad now is apparently talking with etc. (hello angel in halovar's basement information)
boy i would be TALKING. and speculating A LOT. and these girls are not the type who would be scared, they more likely are curious . this is like the potential for a late night dialogue, a very good one. with the discussion about how stupid adults are sometimes
i honestly would write something like that if i knew how to write because it's my favorite trope and i want it badly. i mean maybe some day, i don't have enough info about everything that's happening currently anyway. but. yeah. gimme.

really don't know how to explain to people Azune is horse-coded not dog-coded.
a non-comprehensive list of things Azune has in common with a horse
symbolically associated with both labor and freedom
strong work ethic
he almost definitely took Draconic sorcerer subclass and everyone who's been in middle school knows dragon girls are just horse girls but weirder.
usefullness is necessary to survive
big eyes that will show you the face of a dead god
long beautiful braided hair
i've never been so mad at someone for one-up'ing me on my own post.
