#fun factoids

[etherwraith]

I'm chronically forgetful and scatterbrained.

I will often remember something, but not be confident in its veracity because I can't remember if it comes from something untrustworthy like an internet article or something trustyworthy like a peer-reviewed internet article.

However, I also remember these random things as part of a very context-specific tangent and so feel an urge to share them while it still makes even a smidgen of sense too. But, I feel bad calling these "fun facts" because I can't easily verify if they're true and putting in the effort to check would be too much effort and too slow.

Fortunately, I am saved by this beautiful word: factoid.

Factoid, noun:

a brief or trivial fact.

information presented as fact, but not, or not necessarily, true.

It brings me such joy to find a word with two (almost) conflicting definitions! Now I don't have to worry about fact checking, because by saying "fun factoid!" I put the onus on the audience to verify what I'm saying. It might be a fact, but I do not guarantee that it is.

so, I was thinking about Reva's armor proportions again. I originally sussed out my thoughts on twitter circles because I didn't love the way that the outfit looked on Moses at first and did her proportions no favors with how high the belt is/how the kama-type things she has completely cut her off at the torso/isn't flattering for her body shape, and didn't want to come off as irrational or a hater since my thoughts weren't fully formed at the time.

but I think that the way that the armor looks is intentional—it's a sleek set of inquisitor armor with a cape and the aesthetics all right on the nose, but the way it's cut when you look at it up close almost makes it look like a kid wearing clothes that are too small for them. and that's the thing, right, Reva's literally about to outgrow her status as an inquisitor—of course the outfit doesn't sit right. It's not supposed to.

#btw this is not a knock on moses or the costumers I think the choice was an excellent costuming decision #and I think moses looks great #star dorks #twitter saw it first #fun fact: eighth has his proportions cut off similarly #not exactly the same bc obviously he and reva have very different body types #but his outfit/posture do his height no favors and my favorite factoid that surprises people usually is that eighth #is actually taller than kanan #but the way his armor is cut doesn't emphasize his height #inquisitorius tag #sw headcanons

#I was definitely not expecting a list of Yujin’s supposed qualities although I will say not everything on that list applies to Yujin since #he can be a troll and partly acts upon his own self interests at times so he’s more selfish and not at all kind-hearted nor altruistic or #anything similar along those lines he is free spirited and adventurous he always likes to discover new things to learn about on the interne #be like a little factoid machine around his teammates until they get sick of him and his fun facts #2dsimp chats 💬 #dear anon <3 #Yujin the Hacker

MXTX MC conflicts go:

Yi City: my boyfriend thinks I am a prolific murderer and specifically murdered a bunch of people his bff loves to get back at him. also that I tricked him into doing murders with me, for enrichment. I did all those things but did not anticipate having a feeling about his feelings.

Scum Villain: my boyfriend thinks I want to kill him but I don't.

MDZS: my boyfriend thinks I hate him but I don't.

TGCF: my boyfriend doesn't know I exist but I'm worried that once he finds out he's going to find my eyepatch ugly and my cavern of effigies offputting.

#it may be unfair to pull yi city #out of its published context #arguably it should be sitting at the doomed subplot table with Beefleaf and Qijiu #but I think it's more fun to treat it like juvenalia and this is my shitpost #and anyway it basically depends whether you decide Song Lan or Xue Yang is love interest coded #Xue Yang is absolutely living the full MXTX love interest experience except the author somehow didn't notice it's a romcom? #where is his third act where the mc realizes that all that lies between them is a big pile of misunderstandings and totally irrelevant #murders. he can make a zombie a-qing if he feels like it #sometimes I yearn to express my feelings about this body of work in graph form #love interest's ability to care about things that are not mc: down up down #love interest's ability to tolerate estranged bff #up up up #mxtx love interests wear grey and pink factoid is false #Lan Wangji who lives on a mountain and wears nothing but white #is an outlier and should not be counted

Sometimes I think about the idea of Harry being a picky eater and Kim not being picky at all for the most part.

Literally me projecting on Harry here but just imagine it.

"I like eating bacon. I like hotdogs. I like ribs but not too much of it. I don't like pork roast or ham. I also don't like pork chops at all. If I have to eat more than three bites of ham I will lose my mind."

"Okay, is it the taste?"

"Pork roast is often way too bland and ham's a little salty but, you know. No."

"But bacon is very salty by nature."

"Bacon's fucking good. I'd eat a whole plate of bacon for breakfast."

"Is it the texture, then?"

"I don't know what the fuck that means." (It is the texture.)

Forgot to mention but this also makes Jean-Luc calling Harry's race the Ham Sandwich Race like 10x funnier. What do you mean, Jean-Luc? There is no ham in this vessel. I hate ham. Now, BACON, on the other hand--

#disco elysium #harry du bois #literally i don't even think it's a matter of taste half the time it's just. 'this doesn't vibe with me for some inexplicable reason' #harry!! sweetie!!! you're autistic!!! it's okay!!! #i can imagine cuno now. 'pig can't eat a pig because he's a pig' or something #cuno did you know that mother pigs sometimes eat their own piglets #there's a fun factoid for you #anyway i think about this sometimes i feel like that could be funny unexpected and interesting to explore #imagine harry post-martinaise struggling to rediscover his palate

Beau and Veth spend an hour and a lot of wine trying to convince Essek that in Blumenthal it's traditional to throw an apple to your love to express your feelings, and that he should use this method with Caleb. Add in the inebriation and dunamancy, and--

(Essek would likely resist but that is far less fun to draw)

#this is based on a fun ''fact'' (many airquotes) I encountered about ancient greece which seemed dubiously supported by the literature #which posits that apples were used to show love or even propose BUT this seems to have become a warped factoid #while apples were indeed associated with Aphrodite (thanks Paris) and appear in some other notable myths like Atalanta #and there are some poetry references to throwing an apple associated with expressing a more sexy attraction #i was annoyed that all these 'TIL' type sites were just blindly regurgitating 'it's how people proposed marriage!!' #anyway this is irrelevant to my very (lovingly) stupid art above #i thought since Caleb canonically loved apple strudel and apples would have been a thing in Blumenthal 'apple = love' would be fun to apply #but since I went on that journey you get to too #lmao #shadowgast #ariadne draws CR #op #critical role #the more unhinged the art gets the more you know I am in need of/close to a vacation

should i watch strange new worlds. it didn’t really interest me at all when it was announced bc i have no nostalgia for TOS and also i probably won’t get to it anytime soon just because i never watch anything but like is it good. i think it’s really cute that they’re doing a crossover with lower decks of all things like it looks like it has some fun at least

#beep boop #the factoid that the lower decks characters were designed to look like their voice actors so that they could appear in other shows... 😭 #like it's brand synergy but it's FUN AND THOUGHTFUL brand synergy

DID YOU KNOW???

Did you know? The word “fahrenheit” originates from the ol’ english “fairer-than-height”, which was an insult aimed towards cisgender women, who were Fair but had no Height. (In the middle-ages, height was needed to survive the harsh winters)

Talk about a cold shoulder! 🥶

"Initially, Gaider had asked Lucasfilm Ltd. whether the Sith had a written creed like the Jedi did. When he was told to write one specifically for the game [Knights of the Old Republic], Gaider reversed the existing Jedi Code and complemented it with a Sith philosophy partly inspired by Mein Kampf, the 1925 infamous autobiographical manifesto written by the Nazi leader Adolf Hitler." (wookiepedia)

Here's a fun fact about the Sith code that I wish was known more widely!

#researching nietzche and the sith for the server rn and was reminded #of this fun factoid #the more you know 🌠 #pretty good way to make a villain ideology tbh #do the opposite of the good guys + bigoted fascism #sw
