Ghost's Life

happy birthday, gilbert baker. (june 2, 1951 — march 31, 2017)

I forgot how much Griffin telegraphs the big twist in Balance. He straight up says "oh yeah you could hide stuff from people who've been inoculated if there was a second voidfish" at one point. Lukas brings it up when he's arguing with Yohan about the voidfish too. Plus anyone knowledgeable enough about music could figure out EGG BABE and we first hear that pretty early on. I've never really interacted with the TAZ fandom and I listened long after Balance ended but I imagine there must have been a good amount of people who figured out there was a second voidfish way before the reveal. I kinda love that honestly, I enjoy a figure out-able twist. Not that I ever figure them out but I love going back and being like oh yeah this was so obvious in retrospect.

I often find myself pondering how Barry knew that Magnus would recognize Thieves' Cant in Wonderland. Did Barry do a little possessing to spy on Magnus and Carey's rogue training? If he did, then who was the unlucky possession victim, given that Pringles was already thrown in the brig at that point? Or did Magnus learn Thieves' Cant originally during the Stolen Century, possibly even alongside Barry back then? In that case, did Carey notice that Magnus was picking up Thieves' Cant really quickly on Faerun, except for maybe thirty percent of symbols that he just kept getting wrong (always by inventing a new symbol that Carey had never seen before in her life) because Faerun Thieves' Cant was different than what he was used to? Or did Barry just not know that Magnus would know Thieves' Cant, and was he willing to try every method of covert communication he could think of until one finally worked, just being kind of delighted and amazed when the one that worked was actually the first one? The possibilities are delightful and endless.

MY FINGERS BARELY EVEN TOUCHED YOUR STUPID FUCKING AD STOP REDIRECTING ME TO THE APP STORE

nvm i’ve said too much #unknowme

this is the vibe i bring to the party actually

merle highchurch is character of all time. chooses to be a priest like some people choose to be accountants but becomes his god's favorite anyway. fucks plants. absentee father who makes it right but knows the hurt will never go away. jealous of a ten year old. relentlessly pesters man who cuts his arm off to save his life simply because he swung the axe. doesn't hesitate to say no when he's offered a fix for that. plays chess with the embodiment of cosmic horror homicidal nihilism. chooses joy. chooses joy. CHOOSES JOY!!!!!
