I'm replaying RDR2 and I forgot how absolutely unserious Arthur is

Winton: "Sure as pumpkins ain't cauliflowers, the cash is in that cougar"

Arthur: "I'll turn you into a goddamn cauliflower 😒"

obsessed with how ryoko kui sometimes draws falin wearing these shirts with the images of her skeleton chilling in the dragon's stomach. it's so fucking real. if i'd been eaten by a dragon i would 100% wear shirts like this too

edit: ID added courtesy of @princess-of-purple-prose ! thank you!

[ID: Art of Falin from the Dungeon Meshi extras. She's shown smiling and wearing similar graphic T-shirts which feature a skeleton relaxing within a stomach as a clock floats beside it. End ID]

#delicious in dungeon #okay well now i kinda want this for my own goofy shirt collection

do you think insight can be gained about an author from the stories they write?

no. authors are like squids and can only be understood through spirited but ultimately futile combat

I'm sure Dungeon Meshi is fun but every single screenshot of it looks like this to me:

Marcielle: I literally scream I scream all the time no matter if a situation calls for it or not see watch this AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Liaos: You have to cut the creature meat against the grain you'll make the meat too tender you see griffin meat was popular in 345 bce before they invented the pitchfork and before they would only eat the knee of this creature so in order to preserve it I will strip like the ancients in 345 bce to eat this heavenly piece of meat

Chucktick or whatever his name is: Honest to god I hope you kill yourself

Senshi: You can't be saying that white baby

Faeries and Footnotes: The Nerdy Fun of Scholarly Worldbuilding

I have an affection for stories that take a scholarly, dare I say nerdy, approach to their fantasy elements. I’ve recently devoured both books in Heather Fawcett’s Emily Wilde series, which follows a prickly academic on a field trip into Faerie, filling her journal with footnotes and references to in-universe research on magic along the way. My favourite character in Freya Marske’s The Last Binding trilogy is Edwin Courcey, who helps deliver much of the setting’s lore and magic system via his ceaseless curiosity and very academic and technical approach to how magic works. The scholarly book-within-a-book about portal worlds in The Ten Thousand Doors of January made me whoop for joy.

I can probably trace this back to reading Susanna Clarke’s Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell at a formative stage of my undergrad studies, at which point I reckon it did something to my brain chemistry. But what, exactly, is the appeal of a series that looks at its magic through the lens of research, and with all the scientific technicalities and academic in-fighting that come with that? It does something unique and very fun to the way these fictional worlds are built, and I want to play with that here.

Keep reading...

READ A BOOK ToDAY

[derpcakes]

if you like a piece of media that is good eventually youll more or less run out of things to say about how good it is but if you like a piece of media that is objectively pretty mediocre but also somehow deeply compelling thats how the demons get you

#truly... would i be the writer and critic i am today without the formative experience of urobochi pissing me off when i was like 18

i hate when people call marcille a girlfailure btw like SHE ISNT. and shes not a ”girlboss” either. this is a neurotic and Permanently On The Edge of a Breakdown overachiever late 20s virgin just out of her phd program with permanently shaky hands from an addiction to overly sugary coffee and a deep desire to be crushed to death under falins giant jugs no matter the cost. the only thing shes ever ”failed” at is going to theraphy
