I love chain lightening what a classic spell. fuck you and you and you and you and you and

[valtsv]

really love a corruption arc where the character is trying way too hard to make it work but they're in over their head and it's uncomfortable and embarrassing and they're swallowing their own puke every time they do something awful and damp with sweat and trembling but insistent that they can do this, they want it, they're not a child, but it's like they're playing dressup in clothes that are too big for them and trying to convince their own reflection in the mirror that they fit and it's just no fun to watch at all

Fun how the bystander effect was coined to cover up how cops are bigoted cowards who let a queer person die and stockholm syndrome was coined to cover that the cops handled a hostage situation so badly the hostages trusted their captors more than the cops.

its 2026 i cannot handle any more fucking "author A obviously ripped off author B" discourse by people Who Have Only Seen the work of author B and admit themselves that they have no further knowledge of the literary landscape they are moving in. like.

Folks really need to reacquaint themselves with this concept

the horrors persist but so do books, art, hot chocolate, winter nights, the moon, the sea, the stars, sunsets, literature, libraries, cats, flowers, stories, love and the wistful feeling you get when you finally return home

While I love all types of female fantasy protagonists, every time I encounter one who (in notable contrast to male characters around her) is only useful in a fight because of nonphysical magic superpowers, I pause for a moment to appreciate Kel, who manages to be a protagonist in an insane monsters-and-magic-filled fantasy world purely on the strengths of

1. Being 6’6”

2. Bringing a giant fuckoff Japanese polearm to every sword fight.

I wish insomnia at least gave you more usable hours in the day instead of just more hours where you are stupid

[if-loki-was-a-fox]

The most obsession inducing trait a character can have for me is knowing somewhere in their heart That They Are A Bad Kid

[if-loki-was-a-fox]

This isn't necessarily literal. It can apply to characters who aren't children too. But there's something about characters who are either certain of the fact, or terrified of the possibility, that they are just fundamentally wrong and bad at their core

[if-loki-was-a-fox]

It is also important to me that it is not true. No one is fundamentally broken and evil.

The most hilarious thing about She-ra and the Princesses of Power is this: it’s a sophisticated and critically-acclaimed 2010s cartoon, with characters who have complex, multi-dimensional relationships and well-developed personalities with interesting character arcs… and they’re all saddled with these ridiculously on-the-nose 1980s toy commercial cartoon names. So there’s the snow princess Frosta and the mermaid princess Mermista; the archer is named Bow and the sorceress is named Castaspella. The leader of the Horde is Hordak, and Catra is a cat. It’s like a version of Avatar where everything’s the same except Katara, Sokka, and Zuko are named Waterella, Boomer, and Hotman.

I can't with the double standards in this fandom when olenna tyrell weaponizes her gay relatives to terrorise a blonde woman and put her bloodline on the iron throne everyone calls her "queen" and "woke grandma" 🙄 but when I, otto hightower

I just think we all deserve massive home libraries and a couple swords, as a treat

Having "a lot" of followers on tumblr is funny because probably 80% of them are ghost blogs who haven't been on here in like a decade.

It's like, no no, those aren't my followers, that's a graveyard! I'm the caretaker of a thousands of tombs. I love them, but they've been dead for seven years.
