Forgotten days encased in bone and meat

And anyway, who really wants to live in a world where everything is soul?

Okay have had the wherewithal to set up two now, so, sideblogs!

Some-small-mercy - Writing/worldbuilding/attempts-at-fiction/fanfic-if-I-ever-write-any. Four variably detailed settings and counting, plus stuff written for various rps and games long enough I feel like saving it somewhere.

Literary-Illuminati - Bookblog, SFF and nonfiction with the very occasional actual literature sprinkled in. If I end up listening to any longform podcasts will probably post about them there too. (ty @lifeattomsdiner for the name)

In no small part because I find organizing social events of any scale and putting myself out there coordinating and inviting people to take part intensely stressful, I admit I feel a strong sense of frustration-verging-on-contempt for people who never do and then sulk/vent about events never centering around the things they're most interested in.

when the grumpy one is soft for the sunshine one 🌞 🥰 and the sunshine one doesn't appreciate that kind of condescension from someone who holds everyone else in the world to rigorous intellectual scrutiny 👀🔥👀 and the grumpy one low key thinks the sunshine one is a lil morally bankrupt and self obsessed for maintaining the facade even when acknowledgment of struggle and negativity is necessary for constructive change 🤭 😌 and they get divorced. they get divorced. 🧑‍⚖️❌

no sorry they signed the papers this morning. the sunshine one took the fucking house. 📄🏠🔨

blocking everyone who says "but then they get back together", "but they keep hooking up", "and they pine forever". no bitch this is a certified haters post, no love here. no lessons were learned, all their future relationships are just that little bit more toxic because they double down on all their own worst qualities and they never ever think about each other. they blocked each others social media, they did NO reflecting and NEVER bring it up again. love LOSES. and then they DIE.

Ooooooh c’moooooooooon! Sunshine one and grumpy one belong together, they’ll find a way back! Believe it!

By the way, god damn you for making a trope so cute yet so tragic! They are better than this! They deserve more than this heartbreak. They should split the house down the middle one side is messy and chaotic and has a ghost in the attic, the other side has a bajillion lights on 24/7 and is colorful as fuck.

one is a pansexual introvert and the other is an asexual extrovert and they both perished in the hyatt regency walkway collapse

what the fuck

sweet, might base an agricultural civilisation on this river, hope it behaves itself

might just fuck around and find out

Diversity win! This river has ADHD

Nile: You would not believe how long term you have to mismanage agriculture on my banks to start experiencing soil depletion. I will always be here for you Egypt.

Huang He: *kicks in the door* FUCK YOUR DYNASTY IT'S FAMINE TIME!!!

I took two semesters of Chinese history in college. The first thing the professor started with was “getting to know the rivers, Yangtze and the Yellow Rivers. You need to know them because they will play very important roles in the history of China. The Yangtze has been crucial to trade, movement, culture and more. The Yellow river, the Yellow River can’t be trusted as you will repeatedly see.”

If you got stuck on a question during a test or whatever you could start with “the Yellow river jumped the banks causing instability and chaos that quickly spread” and would be correct more times than you would be incorrect.

I love geographical chats when it completely devolves into dragging a landform.

This Canada day let's celebrate the Hudson's Bay Company once owning 5% of the earth's total landmass now being relegated to a shitty kiosk in select Canadian Tire locations. Good riddance.

The argument that "of course battle shonen are misogynistic and can't center women, they're targeted at young boys and will have to focus on and appeal to them!" is stupid for many reasons - not least the fact that we literally know that plenty of women read them - but it especially annoys me because even as one of the fourteen years old boys they so like to use as a shield I was already complaining about the treatment of women in the manga I liked & getting overly attached to any girl that was allowed to be even half as badass and strong as the boys like someone dying in a desert being offered a bottle of water and if some guy at the time had told me "sorry but you're going to have to deal with it because you boys aren't supposed to care about female characters" I would have become the Joker

the new fantasy genre, popehunk, encompasses all books in which historical figures responsible for real atrocities are presented as sexy and potentially suffering from a cute lil' anxiety disorder

It feels to me like the dominant political mood is a kind of injured confusion that your opponents take your words and actions seriously.

I find a lot of anti-elf posturing in fantasy pretty lame because people will shit on elves and then draw orc and goblin women looking like this:

All fantasy races eventually convergently evolve to be wood elves.

Orc women, goblin women= green wood elves, sometimes with little tusks.

Dark elves shift from pure evil urbanites to morally ambiguous and chaotic adventurers= wood elf.

High elves civilizations break down, scatter, and go mad= wood elves

Beastfolk women eventually become wood elves with fur on their pointed ears

Why do Vampires have pointy ears? The sexiness, eternal life, and pointy ears are due to a bloodborne Wood Elfness diseass

Why are all these humans in this medieval fantasy world lean, and tall, with perfect skin? The Sylvanic Singularity pulls all into its Elvent Horizon

GNOMES ARE BECOMING SEXIER. THE FUCKING GNOMES

i'll really have to reread csm part 1 again at some point but my impression at the time was 'makima is right' and everything i've seen since then has only made that seem more true.

such an interesting take on the utterly ruthless utilitarianish archetype... unlike most of them, her plan will almost certainly work. unlike most of them, her victims are the characters we care most about. she's not bloodless or detached, she likes hurting them! and it would still be pretty unambiguously better for the world if she won.
