I hope you and your loved ones are well

I bet raising your arm and summoning a weapon for you to grasp feels good as fuck

was discussing tumblr habits w somebody in a mutual discord server last night and they were so gobsmacked i like to ideally have 100+ posts in my queue at any given time 😭 how many do y’all have in your queue if you use it??

by the way the reason for something like wheel of time having once been considered unfilmable is not bc of the special effects or the budget requirements of making it feel appropriately epic (though these are also factors). its because the plot of the books is just in and of itself impossible to condense into a structure appropriate for a visual medium without dramatic changes. someone needs to have a serious innovative vision for the whole thing. adapting the books straightforwardly with as few changes as possible would never have been viable in any way, neither financially as a commercial product, nor narratively as a work of story. any attempt at that would have sucked shit and it would have been made for a genuinely miniscule audience consisting almost exclusively of the book fans who would watch any adaptation no matter how unwatchable as long as it felt made with them in mind. like in choosing to cater completely to book fans the show would have been just as completely inaccessible to any viewer who didn't already love the books. idk it bothers me that ppl can't understand the logic of this. nitpicking every change and feeling entitled to being centered as the primary audience is the nostalgia critic's way

Actually, no, I don't think that friendships dropping like flies in your late 20s and early 30s because no one has time for that between overwork and family obligations and marriage and kids and partners and the ritual of the time slayer is normal and ok. No I don't think deep conversations and spontaneous adventures being replaced with a tired coffee every six months is a normal part of growing up. I don't think that emotional intimacy and soul bonds disintegrating in the face of practical inconvenience is a fact of life. I think that means something is deeply deeply wrong with our society and I will never forgive it for the friends I've lost

don’t ever kill your self because maybe someday you will get brunch with your tumblr mutual
