Tyranny! <3 This was supposed to be a 15 minute thing but it turns out she's *really* fun to draw

I find Bolaire's lines about 'belonging' to Thimble or Hal so jarring and strange. I don't think he actually thought that, he was just being passive aggressive. Like, why are you mad a dead guy was uncomfortable with a serial killer god killing mask around his brother and his partner? Some of the table didn't know you were even a mask until this episode, and while Misha had a great time, you certainly didn't treat your other hosts well? It hasn't been said how it was found out, but he killed a bunch of Falconers in his sleep and continued killing afterwards for more bodies. Being scared and wary of what someone like that could or would do is reasonable?

As for looping everyone in, no. People were contacts and were doing favours for him but werent truly going to get involed. If all had gone well, everyone would have continued with their lives and jobs, and the risk would have remained on Thjazi trying to make a way to the Tenebral Reachers.

It's almost a strange mix where Bolaire wants to be more important than he was, outwardly resents he wasn't, and covers it up by blaming everyone else.

#honestly the more bolaire talks and acts the more I'm like. I think thjazi was right actually.#like. at my most generous he reminds me of those wasps that lay their larvae in caterpillars #the wasps are not being evil it's just in their nature #doesn't mean it doesn't fucking suck and isn't absolutely horrifying for the caterpillars though #but my generosity when it comes to bolaire is waning bc he has proven multiple times now that he does not in fact have to kill his hosts #he can treat them perfectly fine #he just chooses to starve them and force them to wither away over months and months #while living in an apartment full of food that's just left to rot #that's straight up malicious #but he has deemed these people as unredeemably horrible so therefore by his divine decree they deserve it #even though what seems to make these people so awful in his eyes is that they're not His People #he's happy to rub shoulders with other awful people and even gets gleeful about doing so #but it's the ones that aren't charmed by him that seem to piss him off so bad they deserve a slow horrible death #bolaire sees the world in black and white. either you are a Good Person and love him or you do not and must be punished #bolaire lathalia #aramán #critical role #cr meta

it really pisses me off when adults sit there and drill it into kids’ heads that their youth is fleeting and tell them things like “enjoy your childhood while it lasts because this is the best it’s gonna get”. why are you telling children that adulthood is the worst thing they can experience? seriously what the fuck is wrong with you, why are you trying to make them feel like growing up is a fate worse than death? trying to convince them their life is over before it even begins? i’m tired of that shit. because tell my why my 12 year old cousin told me when she turns 30 she’ll be so depressed she’s just gonna cry all the time. what the fuck. kids don’t need to hear that their already stressful and overwhelming lives are never going to get better, that the abuse and lack of autonomy they face is apparently the highlight of their lives. they need to hear about adults who are happy to be alive and happy to have made it to their age. they need to know that growing up rules, it’s a gift and life does not have to suck for them, that they have a future that’s worth sticking around for. this rhetoric is so damaging mentally and i’m about to start hitting the adults who parrot it. i’m sorry you hate your life but you don’t get to dump your issues on these kids. don’t piss me off and leave these babies alone!

Many lgbt teenagers and young adults growing up on the internet today have socially conservative beliefs that they voice at all times that they got from their conservative parents which they’ve never challenged because they think the life experience of being gay or trans makes them politically progressive

This is why I hate it when people say something homophobic and then go “so you’re really accusing me, a whole ass lesbian, of being homophobic 🙄” like yeah

reading a historical romance novel and reflecting on the way these stories often present woke nobility for the contemporary reader. a big thing is servants. you can’t not have servants in those times but many modern readers think “but I would never have servants. it would be so weird to have servants” and in order to make the protagonists of the story more relatable they are actually friends with the servants. but flip your perspective and think of it from the side of the servants. wouldn’t it be so awful if your boss was always trying to be friends with you. a really common thing you’ll see is the woke baronet having tea in the kitchen with the servants bc he’s not like other baronets. but what if your boss wanted to hang out and talk during your lunch break every day. not so charming when you think about it that way

#i also think people overestimate their own personal 'wokeness' when reading stories like these #'i would never have servants' people still have cleaners. you can pay someone to make and bring food to you. you have people to take away Nd #dispose of your garbage. maintenance people. gardeners. when you stay in a hotel you have people there to clean your room and make your bed #and replace towels and sometimes again to bring food to you personally #I'm not saying these are all exactly the same as ye olde domestic servants but I feel like the fact that it was just a normal thing #to have them if you were above a certain level of income means that you probably would consider them the same as you do any modern service #worker. like you're not trying to befriend the hotel staff are you #you're not insisting they sit down and eat with you bc you feel bad about being waited on. you probably don't even learn their name #historical fiction

The word that led to all this was "scry".

You should also be able to figure out what a text is saying without understanding every word. 90% of the time you'll do just fine even if a word is unfamiliar. You should be able to understand the meaning of a word through context, or at least the meaning of the sentence or paragraph. There are some rare instances where the specific word is crucial, but most of the time it's not necessary to understand the text.

This is a skill you are taught in foreign language classes btw. When you get to a certain level, they give you texts with words you probably don't know yet, and you have to summarise the text without looking any of them up. It really helps with your literacy skills. I can really recommend picking up some books with unfamiliar vocabulary and trying to understand it without looking up words
