you have to be kinder to people who were always this way, too.
you have to be kind. you have to be kind.

after extensive trial-and-error testing, I'm beginning to suspect that there may be some material correlation between staying up super late at night and how I feel when my alarm goes off the next morning
Conservative beauty standards are back with a vengeance which means it's especially important to go out this summer with bellies out and bodies unshaved. Also be unapologetically disabled with mobility aids and wearable medical devices and stim toys and ear defenders and all that stuff. You need it. People need to see it. Everyone needs to be reminded that life is unquestioningly more enjoyable when you're not living inside an arbitrary set of rules created by people who are offended by all the wrong things.
perks of writing:
its fun
i can do literally whatever I want
cons of writing
i just forgot the word "passenger" and had to search for "cargo synonym referring to a person"
i think this captures the defining pathology of the collective social media psyche right now. we are in the thrall of people who are wantonly cruel but who also demand to be coddled at all times in every way

everyone eat more vegetables NOW!!! and mention the last vegetable you ate in the tags so we're all on the buddy system. I'll start: bok choy
do you ever want to gently float up to someone and whisper “this isn’t a debate; i am actually educated on the subject and i’m telling you you’re wrong”
this is the most positive addition that has ever been made on my post
since there is such an "english speakers who don't even try to pronounce a foreign mame correctly" epidemic, native english speakers often try to overcorrect and end up thinking they have a moral imperative to pronounce every foreign name correctly at all times. so i'm gonna hold your hand and look into your eyss as i say this: you can't. you can't pronounce every sound in a language you don't speak. and that's fine. it happens to the rest of us too. we won't be mad so long as you try your best.
“I did some research to pronounce this name correctly” = 👍 great! even if the pronunciation was still off (and learning to pronounce a foreign language correctly takes a lot of practice) people generally appreciate it when someone goes the extra mile for accuracy, and honestly, languages are cool
“I’m probably not saying that correctly”/“sorry for my pronunciation” = 👍 understandable! foreign languages often have sounds that aren’t used in English and learning to correctly pronounce unfamiliar phonemes is genuinely difficult even with help
“lol I’m not even gonna TRY to pronounce that 😂” = 👎 THIS is the problem, if treats languages other than English like they are inherently ‘weird’ or ‘overly complicated’ just because you aren’t familiar with them
“One thousand apologies for my butchering of this beautiful effervescent tongue, I will now flagellate myself as punishment for my crimes” = 👎 chill
Do you think Naomi Novik ever looks at AO3
sees some incest mpreg
and whispers to herself “I never wanted this.”
No. :)

So we have Primus, under a truth spell, saying that they tried to create the Deva Vindictus on what was perhaps the last day it was possible to do it.
Do we have an answer for why?
My bet is because after he failed to make it the main ingredient needed didn’t exist anymore. It was the last day he could have made it because he fucked up making it.
So I’ve gotten a few notes that suggest this and I just don’t quite buy it.
This is what Primus Tachonis says:
The window has closed. We were running out of time. We completed the ritual on perhaps the last day we could have. It is no longer a threat.
And I think, specifically, “we were running out of time,” would have been too dishonest for a Zone of Truth spell if there wasn’t some real external deadline that Primus was aware of.
It still may be untrue—only Yanessa Halovar knows if there was any trickery involved with the spell itself or if Primus simply successfully resisted. I think it’s much more interesting story-wise if he was telling the truth.
Brennan is an information-heavy storyteller crafting an epic mystery. I think it’s a mistake to discount any new information he drops for the party.
Some people in the notes of this are continually calling the Tachonis “sloppy” and equating that sloppiness with arrogance. And it’s true, they are arrogant and overconfident. But that doesn’t mean that their overconfidence is the only reason they rushed ahead. That is an assumption made by the PCs and encouraged by Brennan. Much the same as Lady Amariya/Termina being out of the way and safely dealt with in the casket was an assumption made by the PCs and encouraged by Brennan.
It’s comforting to assume that the Tacchonis are sloppy and arrogant and prone to stupid mistakes.
But maybe the truth is more dangerous: that they are cunning and powerful and panicking because they know things that the party doesn’t.
Really enjoyed the Sundered Houses meeting, because it drove home that the various Houses are truly equals.
Brennan’s done a very good job of setting these different Houses up and showing how powerful they are compared to the PCs. We know Otto Einfasen will end them in a breath. We know Lady Cormoray is equal to a dragon. But the Einfasen have been malleable to Azune’s manipulation and Amariya was in a box, so was easy to see them as somewhat less dangerous compared with the Houses that have been stronger direct antagonist forces in the campaign so far.
We’ve especially focused on the danger of Primus and House Tacchonis, because we’ve seen them in combat and we know how powerful they are.
But that meeting very much drove home the fact that every House and every House leader is incredibly powerful and active. They will not be easy to overcome or outmaneuver.
And not one of them will side with anyone who would see their power diminished by a drop.

I’m currently DMing a campaign and it’s a lot of fun, but I really miss playing, especially this last campaign I was in.
Something terrible was happening to my fighter at least once a month for like three years and now that’s done and I feel like I’m in withdrawal— please I need to grapple with honor vs protection I need to be a knight haunted by terrible things please
can we bring back the term "fair-weather friend" bc I feel like if fair-weather friends got called that more this whole argument about whether or not you should be there for your friends when it's inconvenient/at what point of personal inconvenience it's ok to bail on your friends would kinda fall apart bc like. we literally have a word for "friend who's only there when you don't need something from them" because the baseline expectation is that a friend should be there even when it sucks. like we used to make fun of people for bailing on their friends.

the belief i have in my ability to carry any amount of stuff home if i am equipped with my backpack and two reusable totes is hubristic to a degree that the achaeans fighting at troy could only have dreamed of
i think there is something to be said about this wave of white women made media that is so surface level with an underlying racist and/or insensitive bias and that refuses to engage with criticism. i'm talking taylor swift's the life of a showgirl, emerald fennell's wuthering heights, colleen hoover, the acotar series and booktok in general, etc. whenever you dare to raise concerns about the superficiality or the questionable writing or the treatment of poc in those pieces you get shut down with a "it's not that deep" or "let women have fun". this weaponisation of misogyny to justify slop made for mass consumption, especially considering how wide spread it is becoming, scares me quite a bit. to quote princess weekes, "the girlypopification of anti-intellectualism" is truly concerning, and i do believe it is linked to the rise of far right movements worldwide. if you refuse to engage with what you are being presented with, and exclusively consume brain smoothing content "for fun" then yeah you do become more susceptible to propaganda. it is that deep.
