WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT

[pastperfectcontinuous]

I want you to write for pleasure—to play. Just listen to the sounds and rhythms of the sentences you write and play with them, like a kid with a kazoo. This isn’t “free writing,” but it’s similar in that you’re relaxing control: you’re encouraging the words themselves—the sounds of them, the beats and echoes—to lead you on. For the moment, forget all the good advice that says good style is invisible, good art conceals art. Show off! Use the whole orchestra our wonderful language offers us! Write it for children, if that’s the way you can give yourself permission to do it. Write it for your ancestors. Use any narrating voice you like. If you’re familiar with a dialect or accent, use it instead of vanilla English. Be very noisy, or be hushed. Try to reproduce the action in the jerky or flowing movement of the words. Make what happens happen in the sounds of the words, the rhythms of the sentences. Have fun, cut loose, play around, repeat, invent, feel free.

"God never gives you more than you can handle" is survivorship bias. People who got more than they could handle are dead.

this is from "research as a leisure activity" by celine nguyen, publs. on stubstack in 2024. it's a very good read

one thing mash really did nail is the complete chaos of the male living space. i walked into my friend’s college apartment once and two of his roommates were completely hammered and trying to figure out how long it would take them to brew their own beer while the third one was working on his golf swing in the middle of the living room while smoking a cigar. tell me that’s not an opening shot of the swamp

I mean, in some very interesting Technically Correct ways, they didn't actually die? Now, they're very much no longer alive. But the forces involved are such that they didn't get any of the usual cellular processes of death, they simply went from biology to physics in less time than it takes a signal to travel down your optic nerve.

[dietspam16]

if you go from biology to physics without dying first you don’t go to heaven the uber driver went over this already

Adopted a second evil advisor and I'm letting them sniff each other under the throne room doors before I introduce them

[flower-in-a-horror-novel]

Are they the same breed of evil or different? Because I've read that Scheming Poisoners and Warmongers don't get along very well, but Warmongers and Secret Theocrats surprisingly do.

[wizardshark]

Yeah I did some reading beforehand! So my first advisor was of the scheming poisoner variety. I was pretty satisfied with that, honestly, but we came across a young advisor abandoned on the road and we decided that it would be best to adopt it! The vet says it's a warmongering advisor and while the two breeds NORMALLY don't get along, positioning a poisoner as a defender of the peace and the warmonger as an upstart looking to disrupt everything got glory can get them both a LOT of enrichment once their schemes start interacting.

It takes a bit more work at the start and they definitely aren't getting along for now, but the enrichment is off the charts once they get used to each other!
