Summer in movies:

Glass Onion (2022) filmed in Greece, on Spetses island and in the Kranidi area, in the eastern section of the Peloponnese peninsula, near Porto Heli.

just wanted a visual demonstration since I was talking about how much I love them

Mules are like horses with the self destruct button removed

[wolfeyedwitch]

...do you mean the 'self preservation instinct' removed????

[byjove]

No, absolutely not. It’s the opposite. Mules will straight up refuse to do things if they don’t have the confidence that they can complete it. This is where the term “stubborn as a mule” comes from. A horse would attempt these feats and break its weak little ankles and roll over and kill its rider. Mules do this because they know they can. That’s also why mules and donkeys are used as mounts around the Grand Canyon, they’re both sure-footed and stubborn and will refuse to do things that put them and the rider in danger when a horse would listen to the call of the void and just do it. Donkeys are less domesticated than mules, less dependent on humans and more self-assured, this is why they can be harder to train but also why they have such great self-preservation skills. A mule inherits those traits from its father.

Marigold the giant mule crossbred from American giant donkeys is my favorite fictional mount. Just stomping around magically dystopic Atlanta, imperturbable, while horrible gollumy vampires and eldritch horrors arise.

Neither “the magic is going away” nor “the magic is just beginning” but “the magic has been around for fifty years and society has only partly adjusted”

You understand me

[lyricwritesprose]

Okay, look. Back in my day, we were warned about Otherrealm safety, right? Don't give your real name, don't make promises, pay attention to exact words, all of that. Yes, maybe people were being excessively paranoid, but also, we understood there are bad things out there. And these days, kids just put their full names on Faerbook? And tell the things with teeth where they live? I think we have gotten so comfortable with this stuff that we're raising an arcanely illiterate generation, that's what we're doing. Oh, and don't get me started on people relying on eyeless chattering constructs rather than actual scrying. I blame Big Thaum, I really do.

We've gotten so used to the trolls that we've forgotten that we shouldn't feed them!

Literally the Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews. Society suffered a magic apocalypse that destroyed most of modern civilization about 50 years before the books start. Now the world switches between magic and tech on a regular basis, each "wave" lasting about half a day.

The world building is fantastic, really well thought out of a modern society that is broken, but still remains.

The very first chapter of the first book, the fmc is watching the news, seeing the special report of demon snakes raining from the sky, and is wondering who is stupid enough to summon in this day and age. Doesn't everyone know it only ends badly?

Seriously, these books are awesome. Heavy on the romance and "stunningly masculine and beautiful male characters blah blah) but awesome. The world and characters are off the charts. The nonchalance of the characters who grew up after the magic apocalypse is hilarious.

Magic Strikes by Ilona Andrews

[maitter-of-creepfell]

Came to me in a flash of genius

[sarcasticcollegestudent]

I think my favorite bit in the Kate Daniels series is in book four when Saiman tries to pull the whole Doofenshmirtz "You're trapped... By societal convention!" thing on Curran, only to wind up getting chased down the street by Curran-in-600lb-lion-form.

[happylandchaos]

Kate, Curran, and one of the several problem children destined to give them gray hair (Julie).

Made it to the final book of the series. I already anticipate my heart’s gonna hurt.

[what-even-is-thiss]

When I suggest people go to the doctor for something a lot of them seem to assume I don’t know what it’s like to have doctors that don’t listen to you. Yeah I do actually. I still think you should go to the doctor.

Around Loch Ard Gorge.

It's named after a ship called the Loch Ard that was shipwrecked along the coast, with everyone dying except two.

This area is called the shipwreck coast because of the number of ships wreaked. And I believe it, I felt like my phone was going to be ripped out of my hands on the cliffs.

[faraway-fall]

“this kingdom will not kill me” or lady Maggie’s no good time being catfished TWICE

Bahaha 🤣 technically THREE times: the duke, the villain, and that blond guy (forgot their names 🙃). Our lady is not very lucky when it comes to honest men in this kingdom 🙂
