If the Witches books taught me anything, it's that the mortifying ordeal of being known doesn't mean the person doing the knowing is going to automatically run for the hills. I just got to the line in Witches Abroad where Nanny says 'There was no talking to Granny when she was in that mood', whereupon she left. There's no talking to me in certain moods and it's reassuring to imagine that there's people who may tolerate that and still want to hang around.

(not to say Nanny Ogg is a perfect saint, she has her downfalls too and Granny tolerates her in turn)

I was thinking about how Stronginthearm is a common dwarf surname in Discworld, and then I thought "it's as common as 'Smith' in the real world" and then I realised...

Dwarves in Discworld are very literal. A smith would be strong in the arm. Stronginthearm is literally the dwarf equivalent to having the surname Smith.

deriding things as performative is anti third space

[houndmother]

im sitting on a patio at my favorite cafe rn and im hand stitching them hem of a dress im working on. and i can see why someone would say im being performative by working on something like this in a public space. but frankly theres no element of that. i just want to work somewhere that isnt my apartment. i want to be in public, i wanna chat with strangers, i wanna see the world. it’s nice to hang out somewhere that isnt my home!

[houndmother]

what i mean is when you say people are being performative you discourage them from doing shit they love in public. and thats no way to foster the world we want to see.

Hanahaki disease is a psychosomatic illness. It's a thing that your body does in response to stress over constantly repressing/concealing your feelings in settings with high background magic. It's like you've been ignoring pain for a long time and suddenly your vision starts going dark, because your affected body is just YANKING on random alerts trying to get you to PAY ATTENTION there is a PROBLEM. Yes the flowers do really exist. So do non-magical psychosomatic symptoms. The flowers aren't special.

This does of course open up the trope to options for non-romantic concealed feelings. Which I think is great. There is something viscerally satisfying about the person who seems so outwardly chipper coughing and hacking and spitting up Depression Flowers so now everyone has to know they're hurting. Isn't there?

[specificwatcher]

Hanahaki, but it's a child that feels neglected by their parents.

Hanahaki, but it's someone whose friends have started ghosting them.

Hanahaki, someone's wife is cheating on them.

Hanahaki, the disease that gives you three options: confront your feelings, destroy the love you hold for someone or perish choking on roses.

Hi, it’s me, your Flix Bus driver. I heard some of you back there asking why we’re on this dirt road in the middle of a cow pasture if this is supposed to be a direct line from Berlin to Munich. To that I say: you all need to mind your own damn business and look at the fucking moo cows.

Frankenstein wasn't a doctor. He was a mad scientist who gave up after his creation didn't immediately start acting the way he wanted it to

since "cage" is a last name and there are girls named "chastity" it would be theoretically be possible for a girl to be named chastity cage

I like that other ducks don’t sound like that in the Disney toon universe. Donald Duck is just weird.

[what-even-is-thiss]

In most versions of Disney ducks I’ve seen they just talk like normal people, including Daisy and Scrooge and the triplets.

Not Donald though. He’s the only duck out there regularly quacking.

[what-even-is-thiss]

And I mean if it is a speech impediment or something good on him for straight up raging at people anyways

[yay855]

It's canonically a speech impediment in most of the series Donald is in, such as Ducktales.

[what-even-is-thiss]

I’ve never watched more than a few episodes of ducktales original or reboot series so good to know

There are a lot of people who start creative projects with no business or financial plan, because "who cares, it isn't important, we'll figure that out later". And you can't let yourself become that person. Not because I'm a sneering finance bro who thinks your woke animated youtube series wont make money, but because if you don't you'll wind up financially exploiting your friends for years

[mollyjames]

Look, it's none of my business if you wanna work yourself to the bone for no money so you can make your dream project a reality. I think you shouldn't, but also let's be real that's basically a rite of passage for young creatives. But as soon as you start involving other people? You need a plan. You need to be able to compensate them for their time, and you need to have it in writing

[song-of-the-spheres]

head in my hands, as someone who does extensive freelance TTRPG work - an industry in which the vast majority of those involved are doing it as a passion project/side hustle, and in which many people are friends with those they work for and with:

if you are doing any creative project with someone else in which money will be involved, make a contract. Doesn't need to be super formal. Get something laid out in writing that very clearly indicates what the person you are asking to do something is responsible for, the timeline in which they're expected to complete it, and the compensation they'll get for doing so.

"oh but we've been best friends since eighth grade" make a fucking contract.

"oh but this probably won't make much money anyway" make a fucking contract.

"oh but I don't know all that legalese" there are tons of pretty accessible templates available online if you research, just make sure it's one that suits your needs and you understand what's in it (it can be written in normal language without legalese, as long as it's clear), and make a fucking contract.

I've heard horror stories about this shit destroying projects, friendships, livelihoods, and in most cases the fallout could have been avoided (or at least mitigated) by having a clear legally binding document about everyone's responsibilities and compensation from the get-go. Do not assign someone work without a contract or some form of written agreement; do not work without a contract or some form of written agreement. please for the love of god.
