just so were clear - i dont ship 19yo kankri and 16yo dirk holy shit. the majority of stuff i post is about turnabout au, in which alpha trolls and kids are the same age. i dont really think about them through the lense of canon, the closest id go would be some kind of post-canon stuff where theyre both adults. same goes for all the other tb!au ships ive been posting about, theyre all the same age in the things i draw. god.

#why oh why did i decide to start posting on hstwt #anyway this whole shitstain of a situation made me realize that ult!dirk x kankri would be absolutely hysterical #so thanks for that i guess #hope this clears shit up!! fuck me

The last two times I thought Pentiment was about to end it Distinctly did not and it keeps getting me

#I'm bored and fascinated and overwhelmed and starved for information all at the same time #also i have various new feelings about art stories and history but not the words to describe them yet #and a weird amount of like #1500s Catholic knowledge #so thanks for that i guess #pentiment #is this (third) well-signaled end in sight going to be the ending? or am i going to be blindsided by more perspective

I had to let the cable guy in today because my mom wasn't home from work yet and he's like "is an adult home? I need to talk to someone who's at least 18" I'm just like yeah bro I'm 25 what's up?

#he proceeded to tell me that im baby faced and that i should enjoy it while it lasts because he also used to be baby faced #so thanks for that i guess #i had to answer the door and i was so brave about it #almost ignored him tbh #but not having internet/cable for a week surpassed the anxiety #then the dude says that animals love hime when i mention one of my dogs doesnt like men or strangers #like sir please do not go near her #shes a rottie she doesnt get three strikes and i dont want her put down cause of your dumbass #don't mind me

Georgia drivers are really something. But at least they’re a known quantity.

Tennessee drivers, though…

#I drove 1000 miles and hated all of the miles that were in TN #even Ohio had decent drivers #mind you I am also a GA driver #TN drivers have my brakes many many tests #so thanks for that I guess

What do you like about the Diasomnia boys if I may ask?

I always love hearing about the different reasons people enjoy characters.

I mean, c'mon. he has split custody over Sebek okay

also, Lilia in particular has maybe the best timeskip character development of all time

So much of Garak as a person starts to make sense once you know his childhood was a fucking gothic novel. His main playground was a graveyard and he'd play pretend by perfoming improv eulogies to an imagined audience. For a long time his main touchstone for most important figures from recent history is 'oh yeah I know about that guy my dad buried him. great flower arrangements for that one'. He finds out later his 'parents' are actually a brother and sister who had to get married to avoid the utter shame and social devastation of having a child born out of wedlock, and they live in the basement of his biological father's house. (the madwoman in the attic vs. the tiny elim in the basement.) His biological father calls himself his uncle and locks him in a closet whenever he fails to live up to his insane and unpredictable expectations and everyone just has to act like that's normal and expected, and his will hangs over everything at all times, unseen but always felt keener than anything else. The father who actually raised him grows the world's most beautiful (and as it turns out, most poisonous) orchids and keeps the mask of a god hidden in a box in his work shed. Everyone in the house is choking down secrets like it's the only air they know how to breathe anymore.

What I'm saying is that right from the get-go this guy never had the faintest shot at turning out normal, so I'm glad that by middle age he's found a way to get a bit silly with it as he continues to be deeply deeply not normal about anything ever <3

truly a moment in tv history. like they are directly addressing the audience with these questions while the spn tptb are in real life bullying the show's fans over these exact questions

#sorry i actually enjoy all the meta episodes #thank you robbie thompson i guess #and honestly i've never known another piece of media to be so adamt to be interpreted in the exact same way that they want it to be #interpreted. while the actual creators don't even have a shared consensus what the story should be about and how it should be seen #s9 rewatch #9x18 meta fiction

sometimes we just need someone to pay enough attention.

for the longest time i had been trying to read The Lord of The Rings. everyone had sung the praises for it, over and over. i'd seen clips of the movie and it seemed like it could be fun, but actually reading it was fucking horrible.

my parents had the omnibus - all the books squished into one big tome - and in the 4th grade i started sort of an annual tradition: i would start trying to read TLR and get frustrated after about a month and put it back down. at first i figured i was just too young for it, and that it would eventually make sense.

but every time i came back to it, i would find myself having the exact same experience: it was confusing, weird, and dry as a fucking bone. i couldn't figure it out. how had everyone else on earth read this book and enjoyed it? how had they made movies out of this thing? it was, like, barely coherent. i would see it on "classics" list and on every fantasy/sci-fi list and everyone said i should read it; but i figured that it was like my opinion of great expectations - just because it's a classic doesn't mean i'm going to like experiencing it.

at 20, i began the process of forcing myself through it. if i had to treat the experience like a self-inflicted textbook, i would - but i was going to read it.

my mom came across me taking notes at our kitchen table. i was on the last few pages of the first book in the omnibus, and i was dreading moving on to the next. she smiled down at me. only you would take notes on creative writing. then she sat down and her brow wrinkled. wait. why are you taking notes on this?

i said the thing i always said - it's boring, and i forget what's happening in it because it's so weird, and dense. and strange.

she nodded a little, and started to stand up. and then sat back down and said - wait, will you show me the book?

i was happy to hand it over, annoyed with the fact i'd barely made a dent in the monster of a thing. she pulled it to herself, pushing her glasses up so she could read the tiny writing. for a moment, she was silent, and then she let out a cackle. she wouldn't stop laughing. oh my god. i cannot wait to tell your father.

i was immediately defensive. okay, maybe i'm stupid but i've been trying to read this since the 4th grade and -

she shook her head. raquel, this is the Silmarillion. you've been reading the Silmarillion, not the lord of the rings.

anyway, it turns out that the hobbit and lord of the rings series are all super good and i understand why they're recommended reading. but good lord (of the rings), i wish somebody had just asked - wait. this kind of thing is right up your alley. you love fantasy. it sounds like something might be wrong. why do you think it's so boring?

#thanks for reminding me this happened #writeblr #warm up #i don't think this story translates well to the page #IRONIC!!!! :) #but yeah man i read the Silmarillion before i read the hobbit #the omnibus didn't explain what it was and i figured - you start at the beginning and then you read from the beginning #that's how books work #how was i supposed to know #EDIT IN THE TAGS: hi i think i worded this in a confusing way #the omnibus had ALL the stories in it - the silm #the hobbit #and all of LOTR #they just put the silm in the front so i thought logically it was the first book #that's how an omnibus usually works after all - the first book in the series is the first book in the tome #to be fair i GUESS the silm takes place “before” the hobbit????

Im really curious how people know about Esperanto. Since its a relatively recent language (from the 1880s), its obviously not going to be as widely spoken in the world as other languages (altho apparently it is the most widely spoken constructed language). I assume most people are introduced to it later in some way?

If u know what Esperanto is, feel free 2 reblog this and say how you learned about it in the tags.

#esperanto #original nonsense #i think i saw a tumblr post abt it uears ago but i think the first time i really learned what it was was because #i would listen to the night on the galactic railroad ost on youtube and all the titles are in esperanto. #and i found out later that kenji miyazawa was into esperanto and sometimes wrote in it. so i guess the ost was titled in #that language in reference to that? i think its neat ::-) #thank u all for blowing this post up i love seeing what everyone says. and i accidentally taught some people about esperanto's existence! #hall of fame
