the thing about alex ward that definitely adds to his vibe as an actor given how many undead characters he plays but is also impossible to ignore once you've noticed it, is this man blinks on average like once every 40 seconds

you know what I am wondering is what, exactly, anyone from the Sundered Houses is going to do about the Hallowed Round. I mean, first off they're going to have to clock that something happened in the first place; the audience there certainly realized it was a great show but most of them didn't realize that there was anything more than the magic of theater. And then once they do realize something is up it's like, okay, well, what are you going to do about it. I don't think this is really a simple Dispel Magic situation, and House Tachonis (ie, the people most attuned to disturbances in the Tenebral Reaches) has left the city. House Halovar is certainly going to be mad at Hal but I don't know if they're going to be able to do anything about the bridges specifically.

where are the seiðr bitches who condemn diana paxson, aren't doing astral travel with another name, and are grounded

alright, now where's the *checks notes* bitches who don't simplify the complexity of gender in relationship to seiðr in order to enforce poorly understood old norse gender roles

I do say thank you ao3 EVERY DAY

if I see one more "why age verification is bad" post that doesn't even bother to mention that locking young people out of huge sections of the public sphere - literally the stated goal and primary impact of this shit - is wrong in and of itself I will simply start hitting people with bricks

yes yes biometric data privacy blah blah adults can hypothetically by harmed by this too. what about the immediate and deliberate and not at all hypothetical harm to youth. why are you acting like a potential data leak about what your face looks like, which if it ever happened would at least be generally recognised as a problem, is a more serious issue than cutting millions of people off from information and community and public expression which is happening right now in the open with large scale support

it's got the stench of fucking "banned books week" on it. thousands of adults congratulating themselves for reading books literally no one is trying to stop them from reading while doing nothing to improve access for the young people who are the ones actually having those books made off-limits to them.
