Random writing thought: the best stories are often the ones that only you could have written — but also the ones that you could only write at this one moment.
I couldn't write All the Birds in the Sky from scratch now if I tried. But the me of 2013 couldn't have written The Prodigal Mother either.

Goncharov Poll Masterpost
hi there! i’m making a zine analyzing goncharov through a few different literary urban studies frameworks. one of the things i’d like to include in the zine is some data about tumblr users’ perceptions of and experiences with goncharov. if you’d like to contribute to that data, here are all of my goncharov polls in one place:
How old were you when you first heard of Goncharov?
When did you first hear of Goncharov?
Where did you first hear of Goncharov?
What country did you live in when you first heard of Goncharov?
What type of area did you live in when you first heard of Goncharov?
What drew you to Goncharov?
What have you created for Goncharov?
What is your favorite scene in Goncharov?
What is your favorite theme in Goncharov?
How important is the setting of Naples to Goncharov?
What about the urban setting of Goncharov appeals to you?
Thank you for responding to them!

i’ve got a few other polls about goncharov, linked in this masterpost; it would be great if you’re able to respond to these as well.
thanks for all your help!

Reading a Terry Pratchett book is literally just:
Here's a funny little joke
Here's something that you can tell is a joke but don't get and will only figure out five years later
Here's a surprisingly cool fantasy concept
Here's a unique and well written simile
Here's a lil guy
Here's something that has aged depressingly well into the modern day
Here's something that has aged remarkably queer into the modern day
Here's a character that you can barely understand what he's saying
Here is the most terrifying and deeply disturbing concept you have ever heard, casually mentioned
Here is the dumbest fucking pun you've ever heard but in the best way
Here is a quote so profound that it makes you view morality and the world in a different way
Here is a plot twist that you can't tell if it's genius or stupid
Congratulations! You've finished the book! It has fundamentally changed you as a person and you will never be the same!

I wonder if multilingual dnd characters work like multilingual people irl
Character 1: hey can you pass me the (demonic screeching)
Character 2: (visibly disturbed)
Character 1: (takes mundane object out of character 2s hands) sorry I forgot the word for it in common...
