The phrase taco cat is symmetrical. So in Vorinism it would be considered holy

[figgldygrak]

In the last chapter of Oathbringer, Dalinar says “you said pronouns have a gender in women’s formal script” when asking about masculine I and Navani says “you can use the neuter, like an ardent.”

This implies that Alethi spoken language does not have gendered pronouns (which would explain no one being confused about The Sibling using they/them). It also shows that when gender pronouns are used, ardently use neutral ones. That does make the gendered pronouns normally used for ardents seem strange.

I started Way of Kings Prime and I keep getting punched in the face with things that are just wrong. It’s so disorienting. I knew it would be different but I got to the first page and bam Daliner

[moash]

that line in the first ob flashback about sadeas lining up women to “pick from” from the town they just sacked that’s ig supposed to make u go, oh that rotten old torol sadeas, but actually makes you go, dalinar presumably usually also did that and should be put to death

[crabsinatrenchcoat]

I switched to a new account but then I saw one of my posts reblogged by someone else which reminded me that this blog exists. So I checked back in and turns out more people have interacted with my posts.

I’m @figgldygrak now

I was walking through the toy aisle at Target when I found this thing and had a VIOLENT AND IMMEDIATE FLASHBACK to when JP first came out and they had a bunch of REALLY COOL T Rex toys that I would have sold one of my scrawny small-child limbs for but my mother wouldn’t get me one because they were “too violent and also ate people” :(

[bunjywunjy]

hnn I WANT IT SO BAD

[bunjywunjy]

on closer inspection, it makes a lot of really obnoxious noises and is also Too Expensive. BUT FEAR NOT I found this slightly smaller dude wedged in the back!

IT HAS BITE ACTION, AND THAT’S THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS

[bunjywunjy]

Extreme Chompin T-Rex says IT’S NEVER TOO LATE TO FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS

[digitaldiscipline]

Can we take a moment to appreciate that we can use this as a rosetta stone to say “EXTREME CHOMPIN’ “ in four languages?

[bunjywunjy]

OH SHIT YOU’RE RIGHT, let me check the garbage to see if it’s still there! hopefully I didn’t destroy it in my excitement

I saw that people are reblogging the thread again, so I thought I’d give you all an update on how Wexter is doing!

(just fine)

[bunjywunjy]

Wexter And The Case Of Her Continuing Marvelously Naughty Garden Adventures

OP and Wexter can break all my toes and I would still send a thank you card

[bunjywunjy]

Wexter says SHE WOULD NEVER DO SUCH A THING (but she might chew your ankles a little bit maybe)

[bunjywunjy]

so it’s come to my attention that at some point this weekend Wexter blew past 100,000 notes, and I for one think that’s very cash money of her.

[bunjywunjy]

it’s been a few weeks, I suppose we should check up on the AHSGSHGAFB?!

ajdhf.

well that’s just,,,

“The Knights Radiant deserve happiness,” I say into the mic.

The crowd cheers. Everyone agrees. I turn to leave the stage, satisfied. A voice in the back of the room suddenly speaks up.

“I disagree,” he says. I look for the owner of the voice. There in the 16th row stands: Brandon Sanderson himself.

Hey I heard you’re giving out anxiety, can I have 1 anxiety please?

yes, here is a baby oarfish 

[imaramennoodle]

that’s a BABY?

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

boy howdy are you in for a treat! introducing, the Oarfish!

MA! THERE’S A WEIRD FUCKING FISH!

Not much is known about Oarfish. Their maximum length is debatable, though there are reports of specimen up to 56 ft long. They live at great depths, and are rarely observed alive. Here’s a relatively small one:

Slightly larger one:

aaaaand, little bigger:

Yeah. these children get long.  hold on a mo’, i might have a better photo

yeah. there we go. a few hundred lbs of Oarfish. like i said, length-variable. that one’s only about 28 feet though. so like, imagine that but double. 

look how excited everyone is. well, everyone but the fish. oh, fun fact! they can self-amputate up to 3/4th of their body. lizard style. 

Historically, Oarfish have been described as sea serpents, and are probably responsible for a fair portion of myths. In Japanese folklore, their appearance portends earthquakes. Though rarely seen, Oarfish live in every ocean. All around the world. Everywhere. No matter what coastline you’re on, they’re always there. Just a few thousand feet below water. Waiting.

Watching.

[definitelynotaminion]

@biggest-gaudiest-patronuses Gaud how can you talk about oarfish without mentioning that they swim vertically

They go forward with their bodies like this, not like a snake. Just an aggressive pogo stick of fish

The DREAM

[nikniknikin]

I distinctly remember the first time my dad called me my right name. I was sixteen, I’d gotten my driver’s license not too long ago, and now that I was driving, my dad gave me a credit card so I could get gas, or food if I was staying late at school due to marching band. He was very clear, this card was for food and gas only. Only gas and food. Just those two categories of product. He would be checking the bill. I had no desire to buy anything else with this card.

However. Often when getting food after marching practice, or on our scant breaks, I’d drive my friends to burger king or little ceasers or starbucks or whatever, and sometimes not all of my friends could afford the food they wanted. And well…food is food. I have a big appetite, and as long as I didn’t go crazy overboard and order catering for the whole band, a few extra burgers and shakes wouldn’t stand out on a monthly bill. So I bought my friends food. 

I did this for several months, and sometime during that came out to my parents. They both thought it was a phase, and that I would grow out of it. Since they’re not terrible people their approach to me having ‘a boy phase’ was to let me do my thing and wait for me to change my mind. I didn’t change my mind, and eventually they understood that, but that’s a whole other post. The point is my dad didn’t discourage me from transitioning, but avoided talking about it with me. He stopped calling me his daughter, but replaced it with child rather than son, that kind of thing.  

But back to the credit card. Eventually I started feeling guilty. TECHNICALLY I was obeying the rule ‘food and gas only’, but I knew I was bending it. I nervously admitted to him one day that sometimes…on occasion…once in a while… I’d buy a friend food. I waited solemnly for his judgement. He walked over to me, put his hands on my shoulders, looked into my eyes sternly and said,

“Zackary, we are Italian. If you let your friends go hungry….” (and here he decided to shake me just for a little emphasis) “I will disown you.” 

And that’s when I knew he’d come around. Trans? Fine okay sure, give it a shot. Stingy? Get the fuck out.

one of my mechanisms-enjoyer friends posted this bit from death to the mechanisms: riddle of the sphinx on hir story and, like, i had to. words of radiance my beloved.

CAPTIONS: SHALLAN: I mean, in Oedipus's defense, it's harder than it looks not to end up in a, uh... emotionally charged narrative climax where you murder your father. It's... KALADIN: No, it's not. SHALLAN: It's - everyone thinks it's SO easy. "Oh, I never killed my father!" But. Sometimes life happens. KALADIN: Most people don't kill their fathers. ADOLIN: You're projecting. SHALLAN: I. VEIL AND RADIANT: Again. ADOLIN: Again. SHALLAN: (overlapping) I really don't think I am.
