The Toastmaster General

[riv3rchaos]

uhhhhhh

um. so. i legally cannot be asked this question /j

[edwin-paynes-bowtie]

I think I might be a unique and weird TID fan because, while Will is one of my absolute favourite characters, I love Tessa significantly more than either of the boys. Does anyone else feel this way? Like, it's not a slight to the guys, but Tessa is so important to me, and she's such an interesting and empowering character to boot. Who's with me?

[thetoastmastergeneral]

You're right and you should say it.

[puirell-deactivated20221122]

writers will really have a doc titled ‘fic planning’ and then it’s just blank

[puirell-deactivated20221122]

writers will say “i’m going to write!” and then do something else with the doc open in the background

[puirell-deactivated20221122]

writers will literally put out the most heart-wrenching and devastating piece of fiction that’s a million times better than the source and go haha hope you liked :)

[puirell-deactivated20221122]

writers will have a life changing event happen to them (married, natural disaster, accident etc etc) and then still manage to put out an incredible fic and go ‘sorry this was 0.394838373 seconds late guys :(‘

[puirell-deactivated20221122]

writers will go ‘love writing!’ and then don’t write for 10 years

[puirell-deactivated20221122]

anyway i love writing and i love writers

[ghostly-writer]

Calling us out pretty harsh tho

[whencartoonsruletheworld]

hearing anything about the nolan odyssey is so funny. it's like "they cut the extremely important and infamous nobody scene" "the cyclops is a giant puppet that they put in an actual historical cave + gave circe animatronics for her pig transformation instead of cgi" "they dumped plastic skeletons in an environmentally protected location they were not supposed to be in" "they recreated ancient greek instruments in order to have an accurate score" "all of odysseus's agency is basically gone" "anne hathaway actually learned how to weave ancient looms" "the women in this movie are treated like shit" "they actually buried actors alive to get those underworld shots" "did you see what the fuck zendaya was fucking wearing holy shit you can't DO THAT, MA'AM" "what do you mean there was a legitimate epic the musical reference" "NOT A SINGLE FUCKING GREEK WAS CAST IN THIS MOVIE"

like did nolan have two guys standing at his side at all times whispering ideas in his ear and one told the truth and the other told lies and they didnt tell him which was which until they wrapped production cause

[thetoastmastergeneral]

I'm sorry, but I think that using the "incest" tag on a House of the Dragon fic is like putting a "Warning: Contains nuts" label on a bag of trail mix.

Like yeah. It's a cow farm. You're gonna find cows outside.

Herongraystairs in their most basic day

Charlotte: Will, when we meet Camille...

Will: I will charm her to death... Because... You know... *evil smile*

Tessa: Are vampires like cursed?

Jem: *whistling a melody*

Charlotte: Dear lord. Will, you're forbidden to talk.

Tessa: *spilling a thousand questions for Jem*

Charlotte: And Tessa, well, hum, just don't ask her if she is cursed, or hungry or... Hum, what if you played the silence game against Will?

Jem: ... You're the flame...

Charlotte: *smiles* Just be yourself Jem. *Sighs and gets serious* Again. Will and Tessa, not a word.

[thetoastmastergeneral]

Ah yes. My favorite trio: maliciously curious, innocently curious, and minds his own business.

(And before anyone brings it up, Will’s business *is* Jem’s business)

[bookishjules]

saw this take yesterday that used the words timid, mousy, and little to describe tessa (tessa!) and not a single one of the comments seemed to be disputing this description... what have we come to fr

[thetoastmastergeneral]

Ignoring the “timid/mousy” comments for a second because those are a bit more subjective even though they’re still blatantly wrong.

Tessa is 5’9”

That’s tall for a woman *today*. Can you imagine how much she was towering over her nutritionally stunted classmates in the 1870s?

“Little” my ass.

[sex-drugz-rockroll]

Matter of fact, let's make Hyacinth AND Gregory queer too. To piss the homophobes off too. And Eloise gets Theo. You know. To piss them off even more.

[tboy-cock]

the weird thing about being a leftist is the government calling you a radical extremist and your family believing that youre a radical extremist and the whole times your main political beliefs are shit like "we live in a world where we could very easily end world hunger, homelessness, most disease, poverty, ect. and the people in power are choosing not to, and thats evil and should change" and that bigotry is bad

Sapphic TV shows that were cancelled way too soon:

[oopsistartedthinking]

Mr. Bennet and King Robert Baratheon are the same type of guy

(When it comes to their responsibilities. Their hobbies are quite different.)

[thetoastmastergeneral]

I disagree with this parallel, but only because Viserys Targaryen exists.

[kaitcreates]

I feel like there was a missed opportunity to draw parallels between Tessa and Sebastian

[thetoastmastergeneral]

Excuse me while I file this away for fanfiction purposes.

[liarambles]

Jessie-Will are such a sibling relationship to me that it took me two tlh books to remember that the reason why the kids call her Aunt Jessie IS BECAUSE SHE IS LITERALLY TESSA’S SISTER-IN-LAW THROUGH HER MARRIAGE WITH NATE

[thetoastmastergeneral]

OP, you’re *so* real for this.

[honestlydarkprincess]

watching the percy jackson show be like

[liesramblings]

“they were watching a video of Pride and Prejudice. Tessa was complaining at some length about how the book was better. “This is not what Jane Austen would have wanted,” Tessa told him. “If she could see this, I am certain she would be horrified.”

Having seen it now, I just know Tessa was talking about the 1940 adaptation with Greer Garson and Laurence Olivier…

Petition to change Guy & Nan’s ship name to St Thwarte because I really dislike the name guynan

[thetoastmastergeneral]

Seconded.

That’s a much cooler nickname ship name.
