bc arthuriana is so mixed and varried, it makes it very hard to nail down a single base story or even handfull of stories. but it DOES mean that monty python and the holy grail is exactly the same amount of arthurian cannon as le mort de arthur
Concept for an Astérix comic scene : Astérix and Getafix standing near a Village Fight as they usually do but they comment it like a football match.

Ça doit être pour ça qu’on l’a appelé la Guerre des Goals.
There aren’t any short nosed swamp dragons with breathing difficulties because Lady Sybil had very polite words with everyone who tried breeding them until they felt guilty and stopped.

I love people who are incredibly book smart but otherwise stupid as shit. Mairus got a 4.0 in college but had to ask me if there were calories in soap.

It’s been a very rough month, but the constant offerings of spectacular and freely given beauty are a great comfort.
Spoilers, maybe
One thing keeps getting tumbled around in my mind: Numair and healing. We are told (and shown) several times in The Immortals and Protector of the Small that Numair cannot heal. Yet, in Tempests and Slaughter, he’s pretty boss at it.
Does something happen in the next five years to change that? Or, is it just an oversight? Any thoughts welcome.
Hey, this is probably an old post but I thought I'd add my thoughts since I just reread T&S. In Lady Knight, Baird implies that it's the way Numair has trained his power for black-robe studies that makes it impossible for him to heal - something like he and Neal have fine-tuned their power for working with individual veins but Numair's gift has grown so powerful he can no longer perform more delicate magics. Perhaps during Numair's persual of black-robe status later in his studies he has to abandon healing after his gift becomes too specialised to high-energy projects E.g. Words of power or shape-shifting for intricate healing work? I picked up on this too during Tempests and Slaughter and thought it was odd, but that's my best guess. Like the difference between being an elite power athlete and an elite gymnast!

Legend says that if you say “I’ve never read Discworld” three times in the mirror, at least twelve Discworld fans will appear with infographics to tell you not to start with the first book
This was already funny without the translation, but now that I understand it’s even funnier
That relatable (older) Gen Z memory: when all the projectors and white boards got replaced by Smart Boards™ around like fifth grade and none of the teachers knew how to use them but they Had To Use them otherwise the school just wasted a bunch of money and it was a rlly weird transition
an addition: when they calibrated the board by pressing the dots and everyone in class lost their minds
New leaf looking good!
notre dame is burning.
this is ok.
it has happened before. it will happen again. it has been lost before. it will be lost again. and again. and again. and again. art and architecture are transient, and temporary, and 850 years may seem like a lot to the individual, who will live maybe 100 if they are very lucky and very healthy, but even the pyramids at saqqara have only existed for about 6000 years and that’s still not all that much, if you consider the grand scheme of things.
yes, this is terrible. as someone who is deeply religious and literally a professional historian with a focus on art and architecture, this is terrible. im mourning. im gutted. im horrified and upset and miserable. but.
it’s not over.
victor hugo wrote hunchback because notre dame du paris was in the process of collapsing and falling apart, and revitalized the entire world’s focus and love for this church, and that was not even 200 years ago. it led to it being renovated.
the roof has fallen in. the scars of fires are on its buttresses. the rose window has fallen out. the beams and piers have collapsed. the spire has toppled. the stones have suffered, and will suffer again, but it is not gone.
renovation work is essential. sometimes things collapse and burn and break and have to come back. it’s not a terrorist attack, it’s renovation, an accident, but we have so much evidence, history, carefully documented everything on one of the most studied places in the world.
it’s not the end.
Hey so, French person here. And also an ex History student. I’m here to say: Please listen to o.p. above.
Obviously everyone is shocked but here’s a few important key facts:
The roof is completely gone. Part of it dated back from the 13th century but the rest was from the 19th. The stone arch roof under the top roof is fine.
One of the three main stained glass rose windows has fallen out. Most of the other stained glass windows are okay.
The spire has fallen down and that’s the saddest part. BUT! It was in the process of being restored and the 16 statues that were there were removed just four days ago! So they’re fine.
The main structure is still here and nothing has “burned down” unlike what some people have been saying.
The “treasure” (sacred objects) is safe.
Notre Dame is still there. It’s just damaged. Almost nothing was lost today, and nobody was wounded either. It’s scary, but it’s gonna be okay.
To the people that keep calling me stupid in the comments:
Yes, I know, the fire is still not completely out and the damage still needs to be fully evaluated. This comment is based on the live coverages I’ve been watching all evening.
However the worst is behind us even if the firemen have been saying it’s a “difficult fire” (”un feu difficile”).
On the topic of works of art that were inside:
UPDATE (10:20 pm):
Apparently the fire is still going in the north tower. The firemen seem worried there’s possible structural damage there.
The fire is also still going at the back of the roof.
It currently looks like this:
A lot colder this week, but spring is here.

Hands down the part of a Jane Austen novel is when the heroine decides to go somewhere because she if condifident that the man she is in love with is trying to avoid won’t be there. Because he always is and it is always fun for me
