it's important not to fully cast yourself as the devil or angel on your friend's shoulder in any context. it's more complicated than that. as for me, I'm the party member who is initially sympathetic to chaos before falling to it entirely and becoming the chaos representative. people online theorise I was concealing my allegiance the entire time, but that reads into subtext that isn't actually substantial in the broader context of the story beyond act 2, especially because I'm a fakeout candidate for the order companion

unfortunately I do attack you for no discernible purpose on the middle path and die in the battle, just so you know. but you can tell I had no real plan and just kinda did it for character reasons rather than alignment ones, for what that's worth

I honestly forgot about the kalpa thing entirely in that route. what's my problem? unclear

May the peace we know today last forever, old friend...

personally I'm annoyed by the socioeconomic conditions that made words like "unalive" necessary but simultaneously impressed by the linguistic adaptations young people have made to continue talking about important things while subject to those conditions and I think if you can't hold both of those thoughts in your head you might just be old man yelling at cloud

Two of my niblings (10 and 7) self-censor like this in real life during actual conversations. I tried briefly to explain to the 10-year-old that they didn't have to do that in real life after they said "unalive" out loud in casual conversation, and they just said they preferred to. On the one hand, I'm sad to see them unconsciously and fully without awareness succumbing to the panopticon. On the other... this post.

die has actually already undergone this process. die originally meant "flow" (i guess it's like you're flowing out of life or something? or maybe your life is flowing out of you idk). it was (probably) loaned from old norse to displace the now obsolete "swelt". and yes, that is the root word of "sweltering"

The longer it takes for this to come across your dash the funnier it is

Which will fade first? Memories of the Area 51 "raid", or memories of Internet Explorer?

Some computer related jobs will periodically send you emails posing as phishing scams and if you open it you automatically have to take a web safety training seminar and I just think they should do that for tumblr except with reading comprehension

#how DARE you say tumblr should send me phishing emails

that was not the right ask

It is implied through gameplay mechanics that the two kingdoms at war in chess both formally permit regnal polygamy, allowing the King to take at least nine wives of equal status, and that marriage can be bestowed as a military honour, but curiously that honour - in stark contrast to the conventional attitudes of the aristocracy - can only be bestowed upon soldiers of the unlanded class, leaving great questions to be asked of the material interests and stability of these kingdoms' aristocracies

also, their horses lack limbs & their castles are small

yknow the smallness of the castles is FAR from their most interesting distinction from the noticeably immobile ones we are familiar with
