I don’t think Wanda in particular MINDS children, but growing up royal, she and Stach viewed having children more as an obligation to the bloodline than anything else. The idea of having children never once entered Audra’s mind at all. She exists solely for her magic. That’s all.

I have watched the video. I think you probably do not need to watch the video. it shows what you think it's gonna show in terms of lack of justification.

maybe because we're from countries that depend on NATO for their safety, so if your president starts a war with a NATO country we're utterly fucked, and preventing fucking World War III is more important than your fucking costs?

Nothing like watching a dirtbag officer doing "what's wrong with war crimes?" poasting successfully attract the attention of a retired flag officer congressional rep.

Write the book you would like to see someone pull from a higgledy piggledy pile in a secondhand shop 63 years after your death and say, "This looks fucking weird. I think I will buy it for Joan."

What am I supposed to write in my "About Me" section of my website

In Book 1, that's definitely DEFINITELY Audra. Everything we know about her is through Wanda's POV. Wanda is drawn to her the instant that she meets her.

A key point in Fahrenheit 451 is that books were banned because they made people depressed and uncomfortable. The novel's protagonist, Montag, is taken into custody after he reads a poem that makes a woman cry because she realizes the emptiness of her life.

Temperatures plummeted in Poland today, with the city of Łódź recording -15.8°C at 8 a.m. Even Hel, on Poland's northern Baltic coast, has frozen over, at -1.5°C.

I bought 2 lbs of pineapple and I'm not sure why

One antagonist is introduced as a kindly, honorable man who cares about the well-being of Wanda and makes sure she is comfortable as a guest in his castle. Another antagonist meets Stach while she’s in the middle of skinning a wolf and has blood on her arms. Also antagonist =/= villain…mostly

Every single person who worked for “The Intercept” somehow ended up like this

Oh Walz :((

Wanda's goal at first is to straight up leave the royal castle, and her father would severely punish her if she tried. Stach's later goal would very much rip apart his entire family/line of succession soooooo...(and it's very much public)

WHOOOOOOOOO YEAH BABY THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT

Just discovered the subreddit r/accidentalrockwell and it is delightful

✨ Artist! Quote with long hair ✨

Meanwhile Russian milblogger Fighterbomber is wondering why “great Russia” couldn’t snatch Zelensky the way the US just grabbed Maduro, and why the Kremlin now has to invent excuses about why it is “not like that”.

Actually the first side character that both Stach and Wanda meet on page is Wanda’s grandfather Karol Bielski at her brother’s funeral! I debate whether or not to call him a friend or foe considering what he does in the story, even if he is Wanda’s grandfather.

NYT: At least 40 people were killed in the US attack on Venezuela, including military personnel and civilians.

🥺

Welcome back, 2003.

I'm going to fucking jump off a cliff bro.

Cancer research costs too much but we have the money to run Venezuela

with what troops lol

reading up on the circumstances of Euromaidan for no particular reason

Maduro has overseen the largest refugee crisis in Latin America, and at one point the second largest in the world. That still does not allow Trump to launch military attacks against a sovereign nation. If the benchmark was the leader was an inhumane arse then everyone would be invading America.

Doubling down. It is not a controversial take to give respect to AP and Reuters journalists in Venezuela, most of who are local or from Lat Am, currently risking their lives, and who are paid for their work — so everyone else can benefit from their reporting.

You do not need to be a fan of Maduro to think that this is both morally abhorrent and world-historically fucking stupid.

Well there we go

Oh god NO

Dragon’s Liberty is nothing BUT factions based on class, nation, magical ability, class consciousness, politics, and the main characters are forced to pick a side. The most prominent groups are those allying with foreign powers for control of the country or help with separatism.

#SFFChat Yea…

#SFFChat Blood over Bright Haven’s was pretty good.

#SFFChat Yeah they’re decided pretty far in advanced and I attempted to fit everything in to fit those endings. Depending on what happens to characters, they can be huge.

#SFFChat I think it really depends on the quality of the ending. Nothing will be able to bring back a work from a GoT-level finale.
