So we lingered a time. The days were warm, the hunting was good.

Taking a metal vial to replenish my allomantic reserves (pain meds and energy drink)

Flaring pewter (taking ibuprofen) to continue the big fight (going about my day)

According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way that Kaladin Stormblessed should be able to fly. His wings are too small to get his tall muscular body off the ground. Kaladin Stormblessed, of course, flies anyway. Because Honor is dead and Kaladin Stormblessed will see what he can do.

My understanding is that she’ll be coming around the mountain when she comes

Me: It was so difficult to get to this island, but now that I'm finally here, I desperately need some kind of public transport to get around.

This humble bird in particular:

Dominatrix: No, sorry, I've just broken my ankle. There's no way I'll be able to host your all-female whip party.

This eager bird, specifically:

[inthefallofasparrow]

Annoying flatmate: Hey guys, uh, can we just have a quick house meeting in ten? Just some 'stuff' we need to, um ... go over again, okay?

This exasperated bird, knowingly:

[inthefallofasparrow]

Camerlengo at the conclave for the next pope: (sighs) ... All right, I thought we all understood the dress code, but obviously we need to go over it again.

This bird, looking around awkwardly:

[inthefallofasparrow]

Me: Gee, I hope this tarot reading says I'm going to make some new friends soon!

This jerk, patiently getting ready:

[inthefallofasparrow]

17th century Witchfinder: By God's truest judgment, the heretic Will Scunthorpe has been hurled from a cliff for practicing the most vile of dark magicks. What now should follow? This hoary misogynist, trying to rile up the crowd:

[inthefallofasparrow]

37-year-old white incel: Um, actually, Officer, technically only these three are ‘katanas’. Those four are ‘tantos’, that’s a ‘wakizashi’, and the big one on the wall is a ‘nagamaki’ … What?... Why do I have so many weapons? … Oh, it’s just my, er …

This bird, trying to help out:

[inthefallofasparrow]

PR team for the royal family: Okay, as long as there’s no scandals this year, our approval rating should remain steady. Did we get any good photo ops from last night’s costume party?

This bird, with an unfortunate news headline to share:

[inthefallofasparrow]

Boyfriend, getting undressed before bed: Well, I ate an entire pineapple this morning, like you asked. … What was that about? This bird, conducting a sexy experiment:

@cryptcness I feel like you'd enjoy this post

[peach-pot]

I don’t know if this is even funny but it’s been in my head too long not to share

They should’ve used tiger’s eye to capture Nergaoul because then they would’ve had the eye of the tiger and the thrill of the fight

project hail mary is like i'll make you believe that friendship will save the world. i'll make you remember that our society rests on the backs of teachers and scientists. i'll make you see that even the most cowardly can be brave. i'll make you horny for sandra huller. thank you greatest scifi film of the last 10 years

[halethleia]

everybody: hello ryland you are now the Main Character ryland: Yikes!! No Thanks!

[scarlct-vvitch]

i love project hail mary (and andy weir in general) so goddamn much because the overwhelming message, the one that you hear over and over again, is that it is always possible for things to get better. there is always a solution to be found. there is always someone who will help you. there are always friends, always answers, always a reason to keep going even when it seems so hopeless and terrible and lonely. and every time you hear that message you're like yeah. i know. sometimes i forget and things seem really dark. but you gotta keep going.

also there is a rock alien who's really good at science and i want him to be my friend so bad.

The fun thing about Brandon Sanderson's magic systems is that, like ttrpg players, his characters are constantly trying to exploit the system in novel and insane ways.

What do I have to roll to get around the connection check on these metal minds?

I want to make a bond with the spirit without making any oaths. Just, like, as friends.

What if I fed the magic worms to a different kind of bird?

I'm going to use these deadly, explosive spores to make a gun, which is also deadly and explosive, so it shouldn't be that hard.

I'd like to put even more points into my rock stacking modifier. I want even a crit fail to count as a nat 106.
