look i love the magnus archives.
there are several reasons for that
but my favourite reason is its title.
if you were to act all silly and ask "who is magnus and what is he archiving" youd get two whole different answers, both completely correct: the first answer is at the very beginning of the very first episode. the second is a spoiler for every single major plot point til the fifth season

I will forever respect Animorphs for tricking kids who are just really into animals to read a book series by goingĀ āHey you, you daydream about what itās like to be a dolphin or a bird or a wolf? Have I got a book for you!ā and then slowly radicalizing them with 50+ books ofĀ āThere are no winners in war. WhateverĀ āvictoryā you perceive comes at the cost of sacrificing your own morals and killing the part of you that is human. In the end you will resort to murder, torture and war crimes and the knowledge of what you have done will haunt you for as long as you live.ā
So the amazing thing is that after the release of the last book, the author K. A. Applegate was interviewed and asked about why she wrote such a super dark ending for the series. She responded (Iām paraphrasing here, I read this when I was like 11) āThis is what happens when kids are forced into war. There are no fairytale endings for them. And if that upsets you, then go to the polls and vote to prevent this from happening to real children.ā
I got to ask her about that rebuttal years later at a book signing event for her newer One and Only series. She laughed and said that her publisher had no idea she would say that, and if they knew they probably would not have let her do so. But she genuinely meant what she said and was proud it left an impression that lasted 20+ years.
Support authors with real morals, guys. Itās not hard.
the walking dead, game of thrones, and breaking bad were just superwholock for men

How hard is it to dive in front of an arrow to save your loved one?
Feat: most of the cast of min-maxed (minus Jacques who apparently wants to look after his body, and Megan who wanted to let the boys have their moment) and several of their partners!
Wouldnāt it be cool if you could watch a D&D game with these nerdsā¦
The party of deadly nerds. More coming soon!
Heyā¦. Heyā¦ Characterās covered in blood, okay? You remember characters covered in blood?? You used to love characters covered in blood
I would take a job pushing the Sisyphus rock if it paid 20 an hour and I could wear my headphones
is this a thing? has anyone done this yet?
we need to periodically remind everyone that a headline not including a person's name isn't an attempt to erase their identity from the narrative, it's just not good practice to put someone's name in a headline unless the reader can be expected to already know who they are
"if you can say the name in the article why can't you say the name in the headline?" what do you think a headline is for
it really is crazy how there are so many influencers with millions of followers i have never heard of in my life
every day someone is like āhave you heard about the situation with johnny youtube?ā and i go. pardon. who the hell is that
If it's hot but dry and sunny, you WANT to cover up with loose, breatheable fabric. Long linen pants, etc.
If it's hot but humid and sunny, you need to go sit naked in a cave.
Alright, everybody find their caves.
waaaay back when I was a cashier in retail we would talk about dumb shit while unloading the truck, and we got to the "what would you do in a zombie apocalypse" me and another worker were like yeah we would just die. End it all, we can't fight or run or shit. I refuse to put that much effort into survival.
And my manager was like no!!!! If that happened, I would drive to find you guys in my truck and we could eat stuff from my wife's garden and I would make sure everyone I know survived!! I would carry you all on my shoulders away from the zombies!!
Anyway, random shout out to that guy. You were too kind for retail management, Devin.
also afterwards everyone who was talking about their cool bunker fantasies were like "Damn, Devin's right, we should also be considering helping people around us." which is the only recorded instance of a retail shift making people better human beings.
my 100% failproof way to handle reactionaries asking why i donāt shave at all is going ābecause i donāt want toā it works because what they really want is an argument about the merits of feminism, and theyāll draw it out and try to convince you itās a cult or whatever, but you can avoid it all by sticking to āi just donāt wanna. donāt feel like itā and if they argue with you about it you can use your ultimate ability, which is āiām sorry i thought it was a free country?ā which, believe me, they cannot come back from. theyāll either drop it or start harping on something you didnāt say, and itās important you donāt take the bait at that point. when they canāt argue with what you say, they assume your beliefs and attack those. and you crucially must be visibly baffled at their change of direction because it will make them seem and possibly feel crazy (which they are). āi donāt want to shaveā is a perfect response because truly it all comes down to autonomy and the ability to do what you want. theyāll try to say āfeminism makes you think you have to do thatā and itās important to not take that bait. to reiterate that you donāt know what they mean and you just donāt like shaving and that itās really weird to look into it that deep. this works i promise
One like nitpick thing that drives me crazy is when people call Blue Whales the largest whales or the largest living mammals or some shit like that
Because yes that is true. But when you frame it like that you are completely disregarding the absolutely batshit reality that Blue Whales are the largest animals that have ever existed on earth through the entire history of the planet and they are alive right now today
