I get Knux is new to the whole Earth thing, but if he keeps attacking construction crews and turned the living room into a gladiator fighting pit literally just after the house was partially destroyed by him in the first place, I'd probably be as frustrated as Maddie too
When Mum of Pretzels won’t let you transform the house into a gladiator ring to challenge foes at the threshold…
Shallan getting excited about getting matched with Adolin as if every other highborn woman hasn't already been before her. It's not a betrothal girl, at this point it's jury duty.
If I had a nickel for every time I felt in love with a robot detective in a retro futuristic apocalyptic society, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
this ones a little off topic so you dont have to post it but im wondering: radfems, who was/is your favorite disney princess?
Off topic questions are good too in my opinion, but I might reconsider it according to whatever the gyns tell me in comments/reblogs :) for now, I'll tag them with "off topic" so anyone can filter them out if uninterested
I hope I didn't forget anyone too important. There's a max of 12 options so I grouped them in pairs ^^
look, I know I've talked about this essay (?) before but like,
If you ever needed a good demonstration of the quote "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic", have I got an exercise for you.
Somebody made a small article explaining the basics of atomic theory but it's written in Anglish. Anglish is basically a made-up version of English where they remove any elements (words, prefixes, etc) that were originally borrowed from romance languages like french and latin, as well as greek and other foreign loanwords, keeping only those of germanic origin.
What happens is an english which is for the most part intelligible, but since a lot everyday english, and especially the scientific vocabulary, has has heavy latin and greek influence, they have to make up new words from the existing germanic-english vocabulary. For me it kind of reads super viking-ey.
Anyway when you read this article on atomic theory, in Anglish called Uncleftish Beholding, you get this text which kind of reads like a fantasy novel. Like in my mind it feels like it recontextualizes advanced scientific concepts to explain it to a viking audience from ancient times.
Even though you're familiar with the scientific ideas, because it bypasses the normal language we use for these concepts, you get a chance to examine these ideas as if you were a visitor from another civilization - and guess what, it does feel like it's about magic. It has a mythical quality to it, like it feels like a book about magic written during viking times. For me this has the same vibe as reading deep magic lore from a Robert Jordan book.
They're really sending several planes and boats to find a handful of rich assholes stupid enough to get themselves in a scam submarine meanwhile Europe pushes hundreds and thousands of displaced people into the Mediterranean Sea to make them disappear. Drives me crazy.
one of like the top three goofiest ways for sure i deal with like. that weird little nagging voice of cisheteropatriarchy in the back of my brain telling me nobody will take me seriously as a butch if i keep collecting dolls and other cutesy shit is i imagine im posing on the cover of some fan translated cult classic yuri manga wearing like a graphic tee and board shorts and holding up a draculaura doll under a title thats like The Masculine Type Is A Secret Lover Of Cute Things ♀️⁉️
