Ashes and Honey

greatest dynamic in the world IS strange, eccentric asshole and their normal and polite friend who on closer inspection is actually worse in deeply weird and unexpected ways

let’s go lesbians

Harrowhark Nonagesimus would be soo good with computers if they were widespread in Dominicus. I will not hear out any "but she would be tech illiterate..." arguments. She is powered by spite and her imaginary corpse friend, she would learn C++ in two days if it meant being better than those who won't. She would love to ban Gideon off the tlt universe internet with a single fucking click, and she is willing to learn 10 programming languages just to do it in increasingly surreal and comical means. She would enjoy making the machine do exactly what she wants because she needs that extra bit of control, she would invent malware that summons skeletons in your room to spread the ninth house vibes across dominicus.

Harrow would be able to run Doom on a skeleton

the fact that generative A.I. has created a completely new fundamental doubt in reality (checking to see if an artwork we see is manmade or not) and doubt in the instinct of enjoying art is unforgivable. its sickeningly tragic, and i mean it. NOTHING is worth this price and i hope that everyone will one day realize this.

I really like fictional couples that actually enjoy spending time with each other. It seems like such a simple, mundane thing. But, often, I see fictional couples who are completely enamored and dramatic and willing to die for each other, which is fine. But like… do they enjoy hanging out? Do they have private jokes and would they be friends even if they weren’t in love? It feels like such a basic thing, but it’s something that I actually don’t see that often. And it feels so refreshing and honest compared to these over-dramatic romeo and juliet-esque romances. Just two people who become good friends and because they enjoy each other’s presence so much it grows into a strong attraction. It feels more real and tangible than two attractive people meeting and “falling in love at first sight” - like, of course, you fell in love at first sight! You’re both supermodels! Sorry, can’t relate.

Character who's a third wheel, but in the same way that a tricycle has three wheels. You technically might be able to remove him, but it's going to be a lot less stable and a lot more likely to result in someone's death if you do.
