Who put the 16 year old catgirl weeb in charge?

"she thinks this is bonding behavior" my friend this has BECOME your bonding behaviour

I am so tired of short-attention-span, trim-the-fat culture. All writing advice these days is for how to write like Chuck Palahniuk. "Cut 'think', cut 'feel', cut 'wonder' - only action, only pushing forward, show and move and move and move." What if I could emulate this style, and still don't want to? What if I want to write like Henry James, with three paragraphs of introspective musings between each dialogue line? The music advice is, "make it shortform, make it Tik-Tok compatible, make it punchy, hit the refrain as soon as possible." What if I want that 10-minute prog rock piece? What if I want that symphony? What if I want it slow and luxurious and lazy? Movies. Series. Poetry. Bodies. Everything is "trimmed trimmed trimmed trimmed, stripped bare, you have three seconds to win me over, make it airport chic." I don't want to win you over, then, I guess. I want the fat left it. I want the pleasure and the indolence and the indulgence. Fuck this art-advice that's always "your art needs Ozempic."

Every time a Fallen London post breaks containment someone inevitably mistakes it for being about Florida instead, and every single time it's glorious.

Late for work again because I got caught at a red light beside the sylvan fountain and I had to joust with the Blue Knight. Third fucking time this month. I wish the city would do something about that guy.

You never get this shit with the Red Knight over by the wal mart

Yeah, but at least you know how to joust! What are the rest of us meant to do until the city fixes the Sylvan Fountain red light, blue knight problem!?

The maverick Black Knight is the guy who usually deals with these gentry fucks, but nobody’s paying him for that. My boy’s spending 40 hours each week at Subway to make ends meet, and the whole town’s suffering for it.

I suppose this is what we get for white knighting the white knight and electing him mayor.

Ugh don’t even get me started on the White Knight. He saw me in the greenwood making great lamentous dole out of measure and he tried to call the cops

What do you think of the opalescent knight’s campaign do unseat the white knight in the next election? I don’t know what to make of him? I agree it’s time for change but do you think he’s the solution or just more privileged gentry?

By the faith of my body, I saw the Opalescent Knight comport himself unknightly and with shameful cowardice at the grand tournament last Easter Day and also he’s got no plans for fixing the potholes or extending the school & library tax

Pelcan good provider for code. Yes, take code from pleican. Very safe and secure, store trust in pelian. Put pwlican in project, very nice place for pwlcian run.

they got married btw

I wonder why the word for reptiles は虫類 has the kanji for insect 虫 in it?

celestia is such a funny character like she's constantly manipulating twilight and friends to do shit instead of just asking and you could arguably frame that as being bc she's a "god" and pushing fate to her design or whatever, except that she engages with the group like a normal and relatable person, which makes it more like villainous machinations, except 90% of this manipulation goes towards things like "I don't want my party to be boring shit again. put my little country girl blorbos in there with zero prep so they fuck it up bad"

you think you've fucked anything up around princess celestia and she's like heh. no worries. all according to keikaku

Celestia instantly makes more sense as a character when you ignore the princess stuff and remember that she's a 1000+ years old wizard. Of course she does manipulative trickster stuff to teach moral lessons and/or cause chaos to amuse herself, that's classic wizard behavior. Of course sometimes she's actually socially awkward and bad at personal relationships and has bad ideas that she thought were good that result in her eating shit embarrassing style, that's classic wizard behavior. Of course she lets the aristocrats and nobles run around being assholes she's still running on wizard advisor programming, she's basically trying to merlin the entire upper class of equestria instead of just a king and some knights. "Yeah uuhhh we'll release the incarnation of chaos himself from his ancient prison because we think this shy girl can be friends with him", terrible plan if you're thinking like a ruler, amazing plan if you're thinking like a wizard. Just look at Canterlot 'Castle' for five seconds and ask yourself if that's in any way a castle. No. Wizard tower, yes. Wizard.

You are so right actually
