sometimes artists worry if their art is actually capable of making the world a better place, or if its all just wasted effort. what you need to remember is: all art is evil, and the sole aspiration of the artist should be to maim as many onlookers as possible.

murderbot and arts first meeting is literally so funny. like imagine you meet a biblically accurate angel and instead of being all 'be not afraid' it says actually you SHOULD be afraid. and then when you are in fact afraid it goes oh shit oh fuck. not THAT afraid, sorry. wanna watch tv? and then you watch tv with it and it keeps telling you to pause it when its favourite characters are in danger so it can calm down. and then it asks to do surgery on your bones.

health isn't a virtue.

people still go around acting like they've done something good in order to be able bodied and healthy. that they worked for it, that it's due to their moral fibre or good upbringing or self control. they genuinely, on some level, believe that they are a good person solely based on the strength of their physical abilities. they will resist the fact that it is largely down to chance that they were able to maintain such health. whatever they think they've built from scratch, the building blocks were already handed to them. not because they're more worthy of it, just by luck. and they really think they're worth more based on that sheer luck. i've met disabled people worth a hundred of the healthiest ableds alive.

Posting pictures of myself more frequently would probably make me more popular. But I think it's really fun to post in a broadly "don't show the monster" manner.

i NEED people to realise foreshadowing is. in fact. a literary device. and not a Bad Thing. the audience picking up on your hints is a Good Thing. because. it makes the story and it’s conclusion make sense. and some people will not see those but enjoy seeing them on a second read through. red herrings are one thing but if your novel consists of nothing but red herrings it’s not a coherent story it’s just a collection of paragraphs that don’t actually plausibly link to one another. you're not fighting with the audience you don’t look clever you look like you don’t know how basic fiction works. be vulnerable for once in your goddamn life and don't treat writing like a game to be won where the audience losing is a good thing.

I love coming to my senses like you know what.. I should’ve been meaner

i tend to avoid discourse because most of it is trite and pointless but just this once i feel like i need to state my opinion: i think everyone should bend to my dark and evil will

Quick what are you doing RIGHT now (besides scrolling Tumblr)

don’t worry about the ‘dies irae’ notes in my leitmotif i’m totally fine

We should abolish those stupid computer desk chairs and all pivot to full-on lounge chairs that are on wheels.

I replaced the busted legs on an armchair with four wheeled casters and now whenever I'm at the computer my posture is incredibly questionable but I am so, so comfy

I think people would be less suicidal if they were allowed to talk about being suicidal without risk of being sent to the Torture Dungeon

It’s not a Discworld joke unless you read it, don’t parse it as a joke, and then carry on with your life for ten years until someone stops you to say something like “It’s a pavlovian response because the dog ate a pavlova” and you scream Terry’s name with enough indignant rage you hope it rattles the pillars of the multiverse so wherever his soul is he’ll hear it.

When I was informed that “Vetinari” is a pun on “Medici”. That pun was so painful I couldn’t even see it.

OMG I FUCKING *KNEW* VETINARI WAS A JOKE ON FUCKONG SOMETHING I JUST COULDNT GRASP IT. I THOUGHT IT WAS A REFERENCE TO WIND SOMEHOW

I am not a talented punster so I was today old when I realised about Vetinari.

The one that made me want throw the book across the room in equal parts admiration and disgust (but I was reading an ebook on my phone and decided against it) was when you're first introduced to the small fey folk that are assumed to be gnomes, who have blue skin and red hair and are almost entirely men and you briefly wonder if it's going to be some elaborate play on the smurfs, only for the blue skin to be because they're covered in woad tattoos and they have Scottish accents and they're fucking pictsies
