rhysand is the most powerful high lord of all time and space and yet tamlin canonically

killed another high lord in one punch

dragged yet another high lord into war

was the only one strong enough to defeat amarantha, it's like rhysand's whole plan to use tamlin's raw beast power

meanwhile the scene where we're apparently shown rhysand's immense power is just him making tamlin shut his mouth bc rhys is losing the verbal sparring hard (bc his usual methods of shutting tamlin up aren't available anymore since he's married)

ryland grace is like the most interesting guy ever to me

like hes so so kind but also so so far up his own ass. he picks fights. he talks over people and doesnt like being interrupted. he likes making others laugh. he likes kids. he simultaneously takes things too seriously and doesnt take them seriously enough. he'll yell and throw shit but tuck his tail between his legs and run the second his ego is threatened. he only sleeps when he starts getting stupid from sleep depravation. his fear of intimacy makes him easily annoyed with other people, but it also makes him not want to worry anyone. he doesnt swear but only out of habit. he's scared of most things but was adventerous in college. he is a coward and also the hero

I continue to think it's hilarious that Ontario named the new bridge the Gordie Howe Bridge. Hello Michigan please use our NEW bridge, the Mr. Hockey Punches Bridge. It's big and beautiful and you can SEE IT FROM YOUR HOUSE AND ALSO MEIJER AND ALSO EINSTEIN BAGELS AND ALSO EVERY ARENA and it's bigger and better than the old bridge. Come to Canada :)

Bear religion probably fucking rocks. You're a fucking bear, you're the deadliest thing on earth, once a year an endless supply of salmon just flings itself up the river to gorge on and then you nap for 3 months.

The most delicious food in the world is protected by tiny demons who can defend it from everyone except you. Your natural armor is thick enough that you can just eat the damn hive while they buzz around you. God's chosen animals right there

Regular bears tell stories of angel bears sent by the Bear God, pure white and twice as strong as any normal bear could be, who rule the summit of the Earth and kill all who stand in their path.

And they are right, those bears exist and totally do that. Humans just have fake angels as a cope.

[theabigailthorn]

love the idea of bears being the chosen species actually. having a near death experience and glimpsing heaven and realising it's just full of bears, no humans at all, humans not ensouled actually, humans an accidental byproduct of God's plan for bears

I'm so sorry Dick Grayson but the period of time where Bruce was dead is literally peak Dick Grayson era. Dad is dead. One brother threw himself off a cliff to avoid going to therapy. The other one is having a genuine mental breakdown in europe and blowing up warehouses. There's a body double of his dead dad running around threatening to destroy the carefully constructed house of lies. He has to look after a murderous ten year old with a sword. People keep asking him about how to run a multibillion dollar company. He's trying his best even though this is literally the thing he's been most afraid of since he was ten years old. He's not good enough and everyone can tell. On top of all that he's getting sensory issues from having to wear a cape.

Man having every single bad day a person can possibly have happen to him simultaneously.

Was driving with my grandmother and in broken English she says “no eyes… no nose… no face. Don’t trust.” To which I looked around wildly in search of this omen of ill portend.

Cybertruck. It was a cybertruck.

There are few delights in the world like having a friend start to read Jane Eyre for the first time and then as they are commenting on it you slowly realize that they don't know. They don't know Rochester's deal.

This is like the literary equivalent of meeting someone who doesn't know Darth Vader is Luke's father.

So they go "I don't understand why anyone would have a problem with this relationship! Yeah he's older and there is a class/power difference but he clearly respects her as a person and it's so refreshing!" and you just cackle, cackle, cackle behind your screen until the inevitable day you get this message.

Everyone congratulate my friend @anonymoustypewriter, they just found out one of literature's biggest 100+ year old shock twists authentically without anyone spoiling it for them.

why your sewing machine is acting up: - tension is wrong - wrong needle size - thread bit stuck somewhere - tension again - needs a deep clean and oiling - you said something and now its offended and refusing to cooperate until you realize your error and beg forgiveness

some people really do need to start reminding themselves that the answer to "why didn't the character just do [something entirely different]" is often simply "because then there wouldn't be a story"

[whispersmith]

TGGG is somehow more concerned with logistics than any other book in this series and seems to break its own rules the most

[whispersmith]

also this series has had two side-characters-who-are-love-interests in a row named Alexi/Aleksy

sometimes u go to a ship’s ao3 page and the top 10 fics are like “what if these guys were 2 completely different guys but had the same actors’ faces and character names”
