Far worse, in my opinion, than the famous “he wouldn’t fucking say that” is “he WOULD fucking say that, as part of his facade, but you seem to think he would mean it genuinely”

I'll be honest kipperlily copperkettle is kind of like regina george to me. smarter than everyone around her. blonde. keenly aware that the only special thing about her is that she's willing to stab people in the back before they stab her

I love the dynamic in the Discworld fandom on this site, I think it's mainly because there are a lot of dormant fans, if you will, who've read and loved the books for years but haven't engaged much recently, who sort of reappear whenever a fun post is doing the rounds. It's fantastic. We get the cozy small fandom vibe without the screaming matches, but also get the popular posts from time to time, y'know?

YEP. In fact for some people it’s Emotions Day right now.

[datsderbunnyblog]

To everyone tagging and commenting with some variation of “Oh, I almost forgot that it’s tomorrow!”

“Damn! Damn! Damn! Every year he forgot. Well, no. He never forgot. He just put the memories away like old silverware that you didn’t want to tarnish. And every year they came back, sharp and sparkling, and stabbed him in the heart. And today, of all days...”

That’s so very meta of you.

IT'S EMOTIONS DAY TOMORROW

[datsderbunnyblog]

#oh I need to read enough discworld to understand what emotions day is

For anyone who's confused today, I won't spoil/explain what the 25th of May is in the Discworld fandom, because I think a big part of what's special about it is the way the plot unfolds in the book.

What I will explain though is that it'll make sense when you reach a book called Night Watch, which is the 29th book in the overall series and the 6th book in the City Watch subseries. If you haven't got that far yet, just take your time and enjoy the series! If you want to start with the City Watch stories then the first book you should check out is Guards! Guards!

And have fun!

happy glorious 25th of may

i feel like the only person destined to be the next true principal of Aguefort adventuring academy is Adaine. I just feel like she gets his vibe even if she doesn't want to. on one hand she is a very serious studious young woman who loves magic loves learning spells and all types of spells, not just her school of magic. On the other hand, she is feral and crazy in a unique way that not even the other bad kids are. She's the type of person that rolls her eyes at people being jealous of a dead parents backstory and wonders why Kipperlily didn't just kill her parents to get a more interesting backstory. The type of woman who will argue with any form of government and will question them vigorously if they don't fit her standards. The type of person who will slug her sister in the face in the middle of a wizard duel when her cantrips would be more effective.

I think she will have to kill him* in a duel for the school, I think she'll shoot him instead of using magic. It will prove to him that she isn't just a wizard, she is a bloodthirsty adventurer willing to do anything to win. His perfect successor. She turns it into Abernant's adventuring academy, or o'shaughnessey's adventuring academy.

I think the Bad kids would join up as teachers there to back her up, and to run the school however they want. I'd like to think that it goes horribly at first, but eventually smooths out.

*after the duel they bring him back of course, but she still needs to have his blood on her hands to take the job

Thinking about Adaine in the Nightmare King’s Forest. Feeling alone and deeply sad at the prospect of outliving all of her friends. Knowing that some of them would have a fairly long lifespan, but she was an elf. She would outlive them all and be alone again.

And then.

And then Aelwyn is redeemed. She’s allowed to atone for her mistakes, and they become sisters again. Adaine slowly beginning to realize that she may outlive her friends, but not her sister.

“I hope we get to eat ice cream and cast magic forever” with an unspoken “together” at the end.

Holy shit. The Israeli whistleblower story CNN just broke is insane. I cannot believe what I’m reading

[stuckinapril]

Rare firsthand accounts by Israeli whistleblowers cast light on the horrific conditions in the Sde Teiman torture camp in Naqab Desert. Palestinians are stripped down, blindfolded, forced in diapers, and forbidden from speaking. They are subjected to beatings and mental degradation regularly. So much depravity that has gone unseen. Doctors performing procedures outside of their expertise, amputations due to zip-typing of abductees’ wrists, having large dogs unleashed on them at night. Being fed food through straws. I can’t believe it. I am truly in shock. And this is just one whistleblower accounting of this. Who knows what else is happening beyond our knowledge

[stuckinapril]

My heart is breaking into a million pieces

[fairuzfan]

Worth mentioning that multiple Palestinians have recounted these stories before, as direct victims detailing their experiences. What's unique about these accounts from CNN Israeli whistle-blower is that they're from an Israeli, therefore people are more likely to take this seriously.
