Read a post on Instagram that basically went "I'm 35 and have yet to receive a call to adventure, starting to worry that I'm not a protagonist"
I read that and basically unprompted said aloud "we're called to adventure every day."
So that's where I'm at; my unconscious self is cheering me on and I didn't even notice until I saw somebody else expressing the same doomspiral I find myself enterswirling.
If you think you've missed your call to adventure, consider that protagonists in movies and games and books only ever get the one, whereas you're entitled to as many as you are willing to hear when they make themselves heard.

If T.Kingfisher wrote an epic fantasy...
If she wrote an epic fantasy it wouldn't be the farm boy who gets to be chosen one, it'd be his older widowed, tired sister Elspeth who actually runs the farm and can't leave now it's shearing season.. And that's wonderful.
Messenger: You my lady are the chosen one! the world is in peril now is your time.
Elspeth: I can't leave the farm without me it'd fall apart.
Messenger: But the world, also can't your younger brother run the farm?
Elspeth: Well it can wait and have you met my younger brother? He can't pick his nose and walk at the same time, no way I'm trusting him with the farm.
Messenger: But the entire world is.. maybe we can train your younger brother...
Elspeth: *sighs* No, I'll go, I mean if it's that important.

anime twunk slade in my adventures with superman is so funny to me and I think people who definitely do not read or think about deathstroke getting mad at it made me like it more lmao cause it made me realize a very silly detail
it’s a story about Clark starting out as Superman so everyone is younger than their comic counterparts. That means that this young, but still clearly Adult Man’s actual arch-nemesises are currently kindergarteners, still with their parents at the circus or a few years from turning green. Which. just very funny in general.
It also means, I realized, that he still has both eyes. This is Slade early in his mercenary career, seemingly post experimentation but pre eyeloss. Which is a very specific time period in his backstory that means he has a very funny trait for an edgy floppy-banged white-haired anime man:
He is currently married but (not by his choice) absolutely not going to stay that way.
it turns out about to be divorced is literally the funniest possible characteristic for a shonen villain to Me. I literally can’t stop calling him pre-divorce era Slade.
Oooo he’s edgy he’s dangerous he’s about to get shot in the face by his (absolutely justified) wife.
This man has at least one possibly two very young sons at home. He’s currently fighting Superman to avoid parenting. He is not going to get visitation rights and he Will be dodging child support payments.
Will they change it and make his eye related to Superman for narrative reasons, not covering his family stuff? I hope not but possibly. Until that happens though Schrödinger’s pathetic loser here having two eyes means his wife divorcing him is literally always impending.

yk when you see someone share a finished handmade item that they clearly spent a lot of time and money on and it's just. The absolute tackiest thing you have seen in your life. And then you ask yourself why someone would waste all those resources on such an eyesore.
(no, of course you can't relate to that because you're a much nicer person than me)
In any case.
BEHOLD!
A wool coat!
The top fabric is handwoven and handspun, the whole thing is sewn by hand, too.
Leftovers. Barely anything, all things considered, which is very satisfying.
This thing took me well over 3 years to make, on and off. And now I'm done.
Thank you for your attention.
