What interests do you partake in?

I've only really been on tumblr in my free time for about two years, but as I go about my life I think of myself as a really social person who's on the whole of the internet and is probably on about six or seven other sites as well (Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, Google, Discord, etc.)

These days my real interests tend to be "the world" as a whole, as things I know are out there that I can learn more about, as specific cultural phenomena and trends that capture my imagination, as philosophical problems, etc.

Somebody once trolled me, successfully rick rolled me

I’m not quite sure I would have been able to give that answer in full generality — I would have been more specific than I ultimately am, just about what I actually liked in that context.

I could have been more specific for the sake of argument; otherwise the “meta” bit might end up defining the term, and doing the opposite of what you want out of a hypothetical counterfactual situation.  Or maybe this idea would have lost me entirely.

not the ask meme but have you listened to hamilton yet

no, but i have accepted that it will at some point happen to me much in the same way that i have accepted winter storms and the precession of the equinoxes

basically my feelings about the current timeline come down to "really? *vriska*? that's what we're going with? vriska?". like. I thought we were done. I thought we didn't have to care about vriska anymore.

saaaaaaaame........

i used to feel like she *should* be more interesting to me than she is, from a characterization perspective, but now everytime its a vriska update I’m just “uuuuugh too late I thought caring about vriska was over so I already stopped forever”

are you writing these as you're posting them? If so that's super fast wow i'm really impressed.

(and if not its still super good writing haha)

Thanks!  Yes, my writing process is basically “don’t write for weeks, then suddenly get ‘in the zone’ and write N chapters in approximately N to 2N hours”

I’m writing more tonight because I’m in the zone and want to finish the story tonight if possible

Are you reading it for the first time or is it a reread?

First time.  I tried a Discworld book once in high school and couldn’t get into it, so this is my first one, recommended by @queenshulamit.  (I did read Good Omens, though)

I have the pre-reblog updated mobile app and it doubles the post when I try to reblog it lol.

tumblr is a perfectly functional website with no inconsistencies or errors
