The Badger's Smial

and you know, with the way that AI is going, I'm starting to understand the position that Dune has re computers. No wonder that they didn't like those "thinking machines"...

im a simple man i like when things are shaped like other things. stool shaped like a mushroom. pillows shaped like fruit. salt and pepper shaker shaped like two friends hugging. in my ideal world i will have a house stocked entirely with novelty objects shaped like other objects and it will be beautiful.

the thing about "people have talked about it you're just 21" is that it's not really "young people are stupid" it's more "if you come into an academic discussion you should know what people have said on the matter lest you talk out your ass"

I'm starting to think that a lot of fantasy writers who are writing Heroes and Wars and Quests would be a lot happier writing the magic equivalent of a sports anime.

Does anyone else read @tkingfisher’s posts about her childhood and say out loud “this explains SO MUCH about Ursula” almost every time?

The thing about Spock being hot is that he isn't framed like he's supposed to be. Yknow? Like the cinematography and the way other characters interact with him doesn't typically imply you the viewer are meant to desire him carnally. So it can be easy to forget for a moment until it just kind of suddenly hits you. And "wait Spock's hot" is perhaps one of the least original thoughts one can have but nevertheless I'm kind of continuously having this revelation

Furthermore he's like. Statuesque. He has a certain poise and grace about him rarely found in men. He's cunty but understated. She ate and she chewed with her mouth closed. You know what I mean? And the whole point of him is that "carnal desire" is extremely off limits. You CANNOT fuck him. Unless.......? And this is the repressed erotic intrigue that invented fanfiction

everybody tells children of divorce that it's not their fault their parents got divorced but you know what? if your parents never got divorced that's not your fault either. you were a child. you could not have made that happen even if you wanted to. if they stayed together, that's a choice they made and it doesn't matter if their reasons were about you. you were not and could not have been responsible for that. free yourself. you are blameless.

#and if your parents got married because of you that’s not your fault either #and if your parents had another kid to be your playmate that’s also not your fault #and if your parents abandoned you to your older sibling’s care that’s neither your fault nor your sibling’s #your parents should have thought things through instead of blaming their decisions on you I promise you that it wasn’t your fault (via @thoughtthingsthrough)
