8.81 Holy shit, I don't think I would'a liked this guy when he was alive the first time, but at least no one can call him boring!

The TWI sub on Reddit has made some changes to how posts should be titled. I realize it's to make it easier for new people to avoid spoilers, and people say it's easy, but I don't find it so. So until I see more posts there as examples, I'll be putting my every little TWI thought here. Which I've been doing anyway, pretty much, so I guess I didn't need to say it. Aaaand now I'm just rambling... lol

Now that Erin's gotten more famous, is getting up to more, and there are just so many POVs and so much stuff going on in general, we don't really get to see Erin having one on one conversations with her guests or friends anymore. I hope that changes soon.

I'm downloading my Bird alarms and ringtones now! I'm so happy about this! Got 4 out of 9 so far.

I wonder if stitchfolk are ever even just a little bit weirded out by seeing other objects made of fabric. I mean I know they're self-aware. They use fabric as decoration, change it and fine tune it when they're able, and don't think of it the same way as we think of skin and flesh, but still I could see it getting awkward sometimes. Eh, maybe it would just be a human thing. I could see Erin wondering about that.

So I guess what we call alt text everywhere else is called ID here. Not sure why as I've never had call to use it myself, but as long as you're using it, thanks!

8.81 I like how Pirate is milking this making fun of Flos for all it's worth.

8.80 I don't like Daly that much, but I do feel for him.

I'm happy to say that in all the time I've been here, I've never wanted for attention on Tumblr. Most of my posts are about TWI, a fairly small fandom, and even at that I get a good amount of regulars liking, reblogging, and commenting on my posts. Even if they're about something else, they usually get noticed. My polls usually do alright. And heck, I don't even look at the notes another post has unless someone mentions it, as just happened now. But sometimes I wonder what it would feel like to have all the notice. To have a staggering number under my posts and realize so many people are reading my words, and just for a moment, I've touched their lives. Again though, it's not something I think about often here on Tumblr.

[ID: A post by @ phil_lol_ogist that says:

Flight attendant: Is there a doctor on the plane?

Me: Yes, but I'm not that kind of...

Flight attendant: The pilots are debating the merits of the terminologies of "the dark ages" vs. "late antiquity" vs. "the early middle ages".

Me: Okay. I'm here.

I have been a sheep caretaker for like two days and already I'm like. Wow. I get it.

I get why these were some of the earliest mammals to ever be domesticated. They look up to humans with this sort of dumb but all at once innocent and pure and trusting expression. They're happy to see you. They follow you around. They like to be rubbed under their chins. Maybe its just some latent Scottish highland shepherd DNA I still have in me but I look at my sheep charges and suddenly I see why the love of God for humanity is so often described as a shepherd and his sheep. I'd fight a wolf for these guys. I'd go way the Hell out of my way for them. I'd carry their young for miles on my own back.

nearly 80k reblogs and how many of you eat lamb

[zooophagous]

The ancient shepherds I'm referencing also ate lamb lol

I call it Tailspinizing, lol, but is there a better name for that thing where they take characters from a famous movie or show, put them in a modern setting doing different things than they originally did, but keeping their personalities and relationships to each other intact? Sort of like a modern AU fanfic, but professional? I can understand why some people might not like it, but I think it's fun! They also did it with An American Tail, and I'm sure other things.

We're up to level 8 in the Vault of Foreseen Insentives for the Wandering Inn! If you want in, there's still time!

Being a reader is different. I really didn't expect someone saying they don't like to read to effect me so much.

Baleros is weird. That's all, just weird. It's known as the continent of war, apparently, but it's also got lizardfolk and selphids, who are, on the whole, way more cheerful than they should be.
