...oh? @eldritchwyrm - Tumblr Blog

DID YOU KNOW that sometimes characters lie. out loud to others and internally to themselves, and it'll happen right there on the page. other times they are just flat out wrong and don't know it. oftentimes they don't ever find that out. a sizable portion of any story is decidedly not cold hard fact.

“Are you trying to lie to an oracle?” the Skein said, by the sound of it genuinely offended. “I would never dare lie to you,” I lied.

If you are having a bad day, here's a triangle with all 90 degree angles to help distract you

We love the 270° triangle. So perfect, so even. The right equilateral triangle.

learning new and exciting things about the extremely scientific economic theories of W. Stanley Jevons, the guy who is arguably responsible for economics existing as a thing you can major in

he thought stock bubbles were caused by sunspots.

The idea of a building you can only enter through teleportation or a magic portal scares me. Not just because teleportation kills you but because what happens if the power goes out or the resident wizard has a stroke or something like that has to be a fire hazard

There’s a surprising number of mundane places in fiction that can only be entered through some magical doorway or teleporter of some kind and I know it’s for the cool vibes but still you need some kind of emergency exit in there

flirtatiously: you better cut it out, or I’ll coat you with a fine mist ;)

later, more sternly: hey. You better stop, or I won’t cover you with a fine mist.
