Doing the wrong things for the right reasons.

......................................... Hi, I'm Copper! ......................................... Currently reading Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler, re-reading the Artemis Fowl series, watching Squid Game, and rewatching The Untamed. ......................................... If you love supervillains (and heroes) go check out Worm Web Serial at parahumans.wordpress.com Its one of the best pieces of literature I've ever read, and probably THE best in the superhero genre, and on top of that, the protagonist is a villain. ......................................... Wildbow's other works are also very good. Pact is somewhere between urban fantasy and supernatural horror, and Twig is alt-history period bio-punk. Also with horror elements. They can be found and read for free at pactwebserial.wordpress.com and twigserial.wordpress.com ......................................... "Not a promise, not an oath, or a malediction or a curse. Inevitable. Wasn't that how she put it? I told them. Warned them." -Taylor Hebert/Skitter, during one of her most badass moments.(Worm Web Serial by Wildbow) ......................................... My icon and background are fanart of Worm Web Serial by Wildbow. My header is fanart of Pact Web Serial also by Wildbow. All three were drawn by me.

A TMA filk song to the tune of the sea shanty Soon May The Wellerman Come. Lyrics written by me. Melody sung by me. Harmonies provided by my brother Zach. Written during the last hiatus, so spoilers up through 189. Lyrics under the cut:

There once was a boy who read a book A tale of spiders and Webs that took The will of those who chose to look It is polite to knock

[CHORUS] Soon may the Archivist come To bring us fear or freedom from One day, when the Eye's not the sun We'll take our leave and go

When he was grown he still had need To look and know and see and read The Watcher took him in to lead A life of drinking fear

As he wrapped up reading a statement The worms poured in the archive basement Trapped inside, staring down defacement Scars that still run deep

Next came the cut, the corridor trip Distorted one who gave him lip It saved him from becoming kip But doomed the world we know

While Spiral marked and Stranger lurked Unease was built and all were irked This was not where poor Sasha worked She'd left them long ago

Now on the run, he came across Jude, who loved the burn of loss Mike, who loved to fall and toss His victims far below

The foolish lamb was handshake seared The dizzy, vertigo he feared Deep with dread he shook and teared As Daisy found his throat

Stronger now, Compulsion skilled He stopped the knowledge being spilled The building crashing down it killed The End for Tim and John

The Archivist awoke from deep Inside his own and other's sleep He saved the girl who could not weep And she lashed out in fear

Of his own accord, he sought to save The Hunter, who'd've dug his grave But he could not dive in the cave Til he had turned a bone

A long way away to lands drenched in night He looked on a thing that cannot bear light The star crushed to coal under weight of his Sight And Helen took them home

Last but not least, Jonah knew he had won As the Lonely welcomed it's latest son When The Archive brought him back it was done It opened up the door!

As far as I’ve heard, the fights still on Martin’s alive, and Jonah’s not gone The Archivist journeys through the land To the tower-enthroned Beholding’s hand

We have to keep reblogging this so future historians will read it and puzzle endlessly over its meaning

[moodycow210]

The heavy implication that historical ‘abstract’ poetry that people have been analysing for ages without being able to conclude the meaning could have just been shitpost level in-jokes between poets is sending me.

[homunculus-argument]

Therapy is risky because sometimes they'll just ask you their standard "why can't you, though", and you think you're making some good point by saying something like "well if I don't do anything with my life then what's the point of being alive in the first place" and your therapist gets that look on their face and you immediately realise that your dumb ass just got caught, pinned to the ground with your stupid-ass neck between the spikes of a pitchfork, and you are not going to wiggle out of there before you two unpack what the fuck you just said.

This genre of re-enactment of video game logic/bugs/behaviour will never cease to be immensely funny

[jenjensd]

Not to mention everyone who does it is so insanely talented at portraying not only the vibes, but being dead on with the motion. I mean the courier in this alone has amazing core strength and rag dolls the EXACT way that bodies do in game. It’s honestly incredible.

The Gimli Glider is one of those stories where every aspect sounds more fake than the last and yet it all actually happened.

-A passenger plane was underloaded with fuel because Canada had just converted to the metric system and everyone supposed to double check their numbers got it wrong. -When the plane ran out of fuel they were too far away to make it to an in-service airport and had to head towards the Gimli military base.  Which was shuttered. -They were coming in to fast due to a lack of flaps control and had to perform a series of slips (as shown in the video above) to slow down, basically drifting a giant passenger plane. -As they come down they realized that just because Gimli’s been decommissioned doesn’t mean it’s abandoned because a bunch of people are having drag races on the runway they’re about to need. -Despite everything they managed to land safely and no one was killed or even hurt which is why it’s one of the best air disasters to meme on.

The Wikipedia page on this is fantastic and my favorite line from it is “Flying with all engines out was never expected to occur, so it had never been covered in training.”
