Jesus "get a load of this guy" of Nazareth

Discworld QOTD, from Thud! “Beating people up in little rooms…he knew where that led. And if you did it for a good reason, you’d do it for a bad one. You couldn’t say ‘We’re the good guys’ and do bad-guy things.”

I love having so many friends who are such incredibly brilliant creatives and I love when they use their powers to make incredibly fucked up kink fiction

got into a snowball fight with my improv group yesterday. most joy and whimsy I've felt in a hot second.

Discworld QOTD, from Carpe Jugulum

never in my life have I been so devastated by a book as this one. idk what to do. should I stand up? should I fight something? i feel like I wanna fight something.

Discworld QOTD, from Going Postal "You should promise to do the impossible, because sometimes the impossible was possible, if you could find the right way, and at least you could often extend the limits of the possible. And if you failed, well, it had been impossible."

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step. 1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish. 2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

Pick up the nearest book, turn to page 42, and post the second sentence: "My father was not scientific, and I was left to struggle with a child's blindness, added to a student's thirst for knowledge."

Donna Tart never fails to make me absolutely insane. No one does dripping wet cat protagonists like she does. I want to eat this book.

winning at dnd means the gm stands up and stares out of the window for a full minute

my 2026 plans tbh

don't mind me I'm just out here desperately trying to suppress what a great time I have whenever I go to any acting workshop

Compare Wicks telling Simone that faith in god will fix her disability just so he can continue getting what he wants from her and then toss her aside vs Judd no longer caring about what he wants, not jumping straight to “God will heal your mom” but instead helping her process her pain together

best reasons to make art: #1. horny #2. you found something weird and fucked up inside yourself and you want to work through it #3. angry. #4. all of the above at once.

In Germany we don't say "We are witnessing a cultural decline." Instead we say: "Die Culcha hat sich auscandelat", and I think that's beautiful.

this is the year I get back into sff. i can feel it.

your honor they're wrestling

I say this often but it bears repeating: if you make your money from creating art then you NEED to find an art or craft where you just do it for fun and don't try to be perfect or make any money from it, and when anyone tells you to monetise it you say 'No', because otherwise your soul will die.

I cannot believe my new year starts with being rickrolled by lindsay ellis of all people

2026 is about affordable homeownership. No more "policy" this year. Feed the local fauna, befriend them, and then use them to overpower homeowners so you can occupy their dwellings.

for the first time in a decade, a good year in reading! yay me

As we enter the New Year remember fear of making bad art is holding you back. Fear of people not liking your work is holding you back. Rejection is holding you back You'll make bad art, you'll have people not like your work, and you'll be rejected. Moving past it is half the job of being a creative

The shift from "sir this is a Wendy's" to "just put the fries in the bag" indicates a cultural rightward shift; whereas the former is making fun of someone by implying they're a customer doing too much, the latter is making fun of someone by implying they're a *worker* & should know their place

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

there we are having a nice civilized hundred years war, just how everyone likes it, and then the french decide to rock up with bloody joan of arc, you can't just bring a living saint to the battlefield, it's not sporting, wafting miracles everywhere like its going out of fashion, it was outrageous

finally finishing silksong like

Meine Top 3 Lieblingsdinge am Ice Hockey: 1. All Out Violence. Wir sind hier für das moderne Kolosseum. 2. Wenn 3+ Jungs in einer Ecke stehen, nach dem Puck stochern und sich nix bewegt. Je länger desto lustiger. 3. Schiris die über den Puck hüpfen

One of the cruelest tricks society played on creative people was planting the idea that being proud of your work is somehow unseemly and egotistical. You made a thing! You like it! You SHOULD be proud of it. Brag all you want!
