let’s have some real discourse on this website:
does mustard belong in a grilled cheese sandwich?
yes, always. Mustard elevates the flavor of the humble grilled cheese
yes, but only if I’m in a mustard mood
I’ve never tried it but now I’m mustard-curious
I’ve never tried it and it sounds bad
no, I would never befoul a grilled cheese of mine this way
I don’t like grilled cheese sandwiches/am allergic/have never had one
inspired by a rant i was going on elsewhere bc someone tweeted something very stupid and uninformed about hamlet and it got my back up as someone who took two single-text-focus english literature courses in college and they were on wuthering heights and hamlet, i now put it to all of you on here:
what's "your" shakespeare play?
hamlet
macbeth
the tempest
merchant of venice
midsummer night's dream
twelfth night
richard iii
othello
julius caesar
king lear
another not listed (specify in tags) (i really just put my own top 10 here nbd)
i have no particular feelings about any shakespeare play/results tag
Hello person having transgender thoughts but convinced they aren't trans because they don't have the requisite amount of dysphoria they think they need
Hi I transitioned without even thinking I had dysphoria. Like later in hindsight I can go "oh that's probably what it was" but for the first year of my transition I was straight up like "I like being a guy but I like being a girl WAY more" and you can do that!! There is no prerequisite amount of suffering needed to make yourself happier.
Gonna include these tags cuz they're good

Does your girl blorbo carry a legacy title?
Yes
No
Sort of
She originated a legacy title
Other
can someone explain to me what a legacy title is...?
Whoops, accidentally monologued.
Legacy character explanation under the cut
huh... it seems like technically following the TVTropes definition a monarch who takes a regnal name based on their predecessor could count, although i'm sure that's not what anybody was thinking of when describing the trope LOL. it really does seem to have been invented solely with superheroes/adjacent in mind
zhu zanjin as csevet aisava. is this anything
Hello this was such a beautiful idea I had to draw it
Out of these, which type of elemental power would you rather give to your blorbo?*

Other/it depends/nuance
*For the sake of this poll, things such as ice, electricity, plants, etc count as sub-category of the categories above, so if you think one of those (or another one) would fit better, please choose which one you’d think that power would be a sub-category of

ngl I am rereading the goblin emperor for the fourth or so time, maybe, and just did the whole meeting with Gormened - choosing an empress - privacy for our needs - Berenar offering to tutor Maia - rigamarole. whirlwind. whatever you want to call it. hhhhhhhhh this book is JUST REALLY GOOD, YOU GUYS i am lightly obsessed with something that I had noticed before but had forgotten about, which is Maia's one-off line of saying that he insisted that Csevet take a cup of this really strong, really hot tea I really badly want to know the context of that. I really want to know the context of that. the fact that Maia had "insisted"! he doesn't really do that often. I wonder, was it that he thought Csevet would enjoy it? did Csevet look tired? was it just good? was it to help warm Csevet up, because it's winter? it's such an amicable thing that Maia barely gives thought to and I WANT TO KNOW MORE OF THE CONTEXT and like, did Csevet demur or protest? because the word insist is carrying a lot of connotations, and maybe Maia's overstating it because it's Maia, but also, but also it's such a thing. because, like, it could have been that he was just picking at his meals and sharing the excess with Csevet, but I don't think it was, because he woke up well rested and in a good mood, actually, and also, I think it contrasts what almost immediately follows it up - the red-ribboned courier bringing Maia's signet over, and Maia noticing that the courier is Csevet's friend! And him looking at this signet, while the two of them laugh about something or other outside the door, and him literally hiding his face so that Beshelar and Cala won't see his emotional reaction, and it all makes me think of the "we cannot be your friend" bit and aghhhhhhhhhhhhhh and, like, it's kinda foreshadowing, a bit, too? because Maia feels like this signet is heavy, just as heavy as his other rings that symbolize being the emperor, but it rests easier on him, because it carries the symbol of his mother. and he chose it, too, because he loves his mother, in defiance of convention, and like... make! that! dav! he can have something like friendship. it doesn't have to be as awful as the traditionalists say. just…keep doing your own thing. your own choices, even if they're not the done thing. remember what your mother has taught you. IT'S GOOD STUFF
theres an assumption that if an alien has an alien gender system they wouldnt understand homophobia but maybe they just have their own more complex version of homophobia. alien society with eight genders and a horribly complex web of what is considered socially acceptable that makes the gender binary look like easy mode. i'm inventing homophobia 2 and it's terrible.
problematic rage gap. one partner tries to bring nuance and understanding to a tough situation. the other wants to blow up the earth about it.

what’s really fun about the watchmaker of filgree street is that the science grace is doing is real science that ended up disproving the idea of aether irl (I’m rusty with relativism but iirc they had?? Some sort of light and mirror setup?) anyways sometimes in steampunk the laws of physics are a little bit different which is fun and cool
hilarious post to make right before aether is experimentally disproven in the book as well
the nonexistence of aether is actually one of my favorite advancements in relativistic physics because it led to one of THE funniest set of scientific discoveries ever, which played out as follows:
Some guy as his PhD dissertation posits that ALL particles are also waves, see here with electrons.
he is thrown out of his college for suggesting such insane bullshit
a different guy spends TEN (10) years making experiments to prove him wrong and accidentally proves him Unassailably Correct
this entire thing is the underpinnings of modern particle physics
