Void Stares Back

[sistersorrow]

Internet shitshows I fully expect to see when the Mistborn movies come out

People getting mad Vin is the protagonist instead of Kelsier

Vin facing Korra-level slander for releasing Ruin

People accusing Mistborn of being woke when Sazed is revealed to be the Hero of Ages

People unironically saying the Lord Ruler did nothing wrong

Discourse on whether Mistborn is monarchist or not

Segments of the audience larp as Survivorists and call Democrats "nobles" leading to the use of the spear becoming an internet red flag

3b. A chud civil war over whether or not Sazed being the Hero of Ages is woke or antiwoke, between the side that consider it woke because he's an ethnic minority and the side that considers it antiwoke because it means Vin (a woman) isn't the prophecized hero.

reminder that coming up with some fake little dudes and creating intricate storylines in your head is a completely free and fun way to pass the time and the government can't stop you

honestly i think the reason why it’s so common for kids to have the “it’s not a phase, mom” argument in their adolescence is less because they genuinely plan for their current state of being to remain utterly unchanged forever and more because they’re tired of having their interests/self expression/beliefs/etc dismissed as foolish due to being probably temporary

i know that when i was that age i certainly wasn’t thinking about whether or not i’d be into whatever shit i was into then when i was 80, all i knew was that i was sick of feeling like the adults in my life were just rolling their eyes and waiting out everything that was important to me at that moment

[screambirdscreaming]

I think another key thing conveyed by "it's not a phase" is that you won't return to being what they expect. Not necessarily that you're going to be This exact way forever, but that the next thing after STILL isn't gonna be the mold they're trying to put you in.

Whether or not being goth or w/e is a phase, *being your own person with your own priorities and interests* is NOT a phase, and that's what really rankles for people to not get.

the 3ish interactions that Tisarwat and Seivarden have are so fucking funny. suicidal teenager mad because Mom’s (Breq’s) situationship is being nice to her and doesn’t know that she was briefly a 3,000 year old tyrant. well-intentioned side piece (Seivarden) trying to be nice to the step-kid and mildly baffled as to why a 17-year old has access to top secret military gossip. there is absolutely no situation like it. thank you Ann Leckie.

My friend while watching Kpop Demon Hunters for the first time, referencing Mira walking into Rumi’s room: “she looks like a Sim.”

Me: ????

Genies can only grant wishes that are things that an ordinary person could do, just better and faster. The jinn are the creations of a divine being, and so they are part of the divine plan and cannot defy the natural order of things; a wish granted by a jinni can’t turn the day into night or the sea into yogurt, but if you wish for a temple to be built, a jinni will build it by hand, the way men do, and have it done in a day.

If you need a wish granted that defies the natural order you gotta catch a leprechaun, because no god was involved in their creation whatsoever. They just kinda showed up one day in the nineteenth century. The Aos Sí have no idea what their deal is

You’re not hiding this in the tags buddy

[flagellant]

i don't hide things in tags i simply allow the proletariat to determine whether it is praxis to make my statements heard.

[maggiedeshiboux]

the other reason the leprechaun shoots the king of england in the head is that, unnatural abomination against God and Fey alike or not, it's still Irish

Mira: We all have our demons.

Zoey, grabbing Rumi: This one is ours.
