Whenever I see someone refer to "Victorian era-" for places outside the UK I'm tempted to start saying shit like "Han Dynasty era Rome", "Soviet era Australia" etc

“Welcome to Soviet America, home of the McDonalds and Cocaine Cola. Long live Comrade Reagan.”

The Civil War, or as I like to call it, Late Tokugawa Period America

I know this is a joke but this helps me put a lot of historical periods into perspective.

I want to highly recommend two tools for helping you with this very sad situation, which you must use before it happens.

The first is this wonderful script that will automatically add key information (that you choose) like author, title, summary, etc to your bookmark notes so you at least know what got deleted.

The second is this incredible bulk downloader for AO3. Input any AO3 page (such as your bookmarks page) and tell it what format you want to download in and it will just.... DOWNLOAD IT ALL!! I run it every few months so that I have all my bookmarks downloaded in my preferred EPUB format. That way I know I always have my favorites downloaded in case they ever get deleted.

With the combination of these two, I can look in my bookmarks, see what was deleted, and easily find it in my downloads. It's such a relief to have my own fic library is all my favs!

Have you ever seen three ducks try to grab onto one piece of bread

[tokkibean]

i do not “delete sentences” when they start “hindering the plot” i COPY PASTE THEM into a SEPARATE DOC made just for keeping all my USELESS LINES that i will also NEVER USE so therefore i should JUST DELETE THEM but i DONT because id FEEL BAD if i did

You don't actually have to kill your darlings. You can just put them in the oubliette #myoubliette

Frankly, I think companies presenting basic health and consumer safety information as "boring," "uncool," and "not worth your care" should carry a hefty fine based on the revenue that company generates

Character has a PhD: they’re really smart and knowledgable about their field!

Character has 2 PhDs: either they did a dual degree program and are braggy about it, had a life-changing experience after their first degree and pivoted their whole career, or they find the structure of being a PhD student, despite all its stress, more comfortable and familiar than the stress of finding a Real Job and have a very indulgent advisor.

Character has 3 PhDs: who keeps accepting them to PhD programs. Either this person needs psychological help or their department needs to be investigated for its academic standards. Probably both

Character has 4+ PhDs: if they aren’t an undercover vampire or something then no they don’t lol

The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again, and I am still not over Moiraine going on a separate transformative field trip with all of the EF5 like some sort of blue Zuko.

She's such a narrative device. I adore her.

[onaperduamedee]

Truly the fact Egwene and Nynaeve face their channeling abilities for the first time with Moiraine, then Moiraine becomes such a focus of Nynaeve's jealousy as an embodiment of a future Nynaeve refuses for herself, and Perrin confronts a vision of his future as a Wolfbrother as they meet Noam and Moiraine doesn't have the reassuring answers he craves, and then Moiraine accompanies Egwene to the Waste to study with the Wise Ones as well as showing Egwene what price to pay to save the world, and then Mat goes into the underworld to fulfill the last part of his prophecy to save her, and Rand...

Everything with Rand.

She is such a perfectly constructed character. Adjuvant with a little bow. Catnip for the theme-lover. Kiss on the mouth to the literary student.

[onaperduamedee]

You are Moiraine Damodred. You are named after the deities of fate in ancient Greece. You are a 5'2'' woman from a disgraced noble house that caused the fall of your nation and join the rotten corpse of a declining institution tasked with preserving the past to ensure the future. At 22, you are one of three who hear a prophecy that will change the world and spend the next 20 years trying to stay ahead of fate. You drag the heroes kicking and screaming into the story and, additionally, adulthood. They hate your guts for that. You learn of your own future. All of them. They are mostly terrible, so you pick the one version that at least would serve the cause you picked (or that picked you) 20 years ago. You failed at gaming fate for 20 years, but you orchestrate your death to play right into the hand of fate because perhaps at last that cruel mistress will grant you a semblance of control. It works, but you pay whatever price fate requires. You are still a 5'2'' woman who has spent her life on the road, chasing after hope and exhausting despair itself, not an instrument of fate.

Pro of submitting to your fate and dying: your protégé/messianic figure speedruns his coming of age story, accepts his fate and ascends to godhood to save the world

I have just learned that Mountain Goats are NOT, in fact, actual Goats.

I have never heard of this band. I AM in fact referring to the animal.
