This is me. I'm reading it in my church today. I am not going to mention tetris ever.

It's a good poem, and I'm supposed to read something about hope for advent, so what was I supposed to do!

not my friend having to explain they’re reading poetry by the most fuckable Tetris piece person 💀💀💀💀

i mean you don't HAVE to explain. you have my full and express permission to pretend i only write poetry and/or draw nice little pictures. god knows i do

So there's the idea of "kitchen table poly," AKA "everyone in the polycule needs to be able to sit at a kitchen table together and get along like friends."

One of my roommates just came up with a counter idea, which is "poker table poly." Everyone in the polycule must be enemies. No one is allowed to get too chummy or they're kicked out. They all also likely owe eachother money.

Anyway, on fera jamais mieux que ce graphique du LA Times.

every time i listen to “you’re a mean one mr. grinch” i can’t help but sit there and think “what did the grinch do to hurt you?” because dude just stands there for 2 minutes and 58 seconds and drags the grinch into the dirt

I would like to submit the fun fact that if a horse's barn is on fire, and you take them out of the barn, they will run back in. Those animals have a screw loose, @the-oak-god.

Queer Adult SFF Books Bracket: Round 1

Book summaries and submitted endorsements below:

The Locked Tomb series (Gideon the Ninth, Harrow the Ninth, Nona the Ninth, and others) by Tamsyn Muir

Endorsement from submitter #1: "An extremely fun, humorous romp! A heart-breaking, soul crushing catharsis inducing tragedy! A thoughtful piece on imperial structures and trauma. On queerness, Muir flawlessly and without announcement, cracks gender open like an egg and spills its disproven guts across the page. The Locked Tomb does it all also bones, bitch."

Endorsement from submitter #2: "Lesbian necromancers in space. So many fascinating, sort of fucked up sapphic relationships going on."

The Emperor needs necromancers.

The Ninth Necromancer needs a swordswoman.

Gideon has a sword, some dirty magazines, and no more time for undead bullshit.

Brought up by unfriendly, ossifying nuns, ancient retainers, and countless skeletons, Gideon is ready to abandon a life of servitude and an afterlife as a reanimated corpse. She packs up her sword, her shoes, and her dirty magazines, and prepares to launch her daring escape. But her childhood nemesis won't set her free without a service.

Harrowhark Nonagesimus, Reverend Daughter of the Ninth House and bone witch extraordinaire, has been summoned into action. The Emperor has invited the heirs to each of his loyal Houses to a deadly trial of wits and skill. If Harrowhark succeeds she will become an immortal, all-powerful servant of the Resurrection, but no necromancer can ascend without their cavalier.

Without Gideon's sword, Harrow will fail, and the Ninth House will die. Of course, some things are better left dead.

The Javelin Program by Derin Edala (Time to Orbit: Unknown series)

When Dr Aspen Greaves signed up for the Javelin Program, humanity's first foray into colonising deep space, they expected to wake up to life in a thriving colony on a distant planet. Instead, they find themself five years away from their destination on a broken spaceship full of complex mysteries, dead astronauts, and a very unhelpful AI.

Aspen wasn't trained for any of this. But if they can't keep themselves alive, get the ship in working order, and find out what went wrong by unravelling a chain of mysteries leading all the way back to distant Earth, then neither Aspen nor the five thousand sleeping passengers in their care will ever see a planet again.

Getting inspired to write is actually really easy! All you need to do is be the busiest you've ever been in your entire life and as far away from a computer as humanly possible. Hope this helps 🥰

I'm about to go to sleep, but guys, halloween is tomorrow. it's tomorrow. maybe today if your time zone is different than mine.

or maybe it already happened because you might be reading this a few days in the future

or maybe you're seeing this one year in the future, and you have no idea I'm talking about a past halloween that already happened

or maybe it's christmas day, because somebody rebloged this on christmas for no reason

it might also just be November, just an insignificant day in November. statistically speaking it's a 1/12 chance you're reading this in November

I'm so excited for halloween christmas and november, I honestly like all three

What's the process if you're a superhero and you come out as trans

Do you tell your villains?

Do you keep it a secret so no one can connect Spider-Man with your secret identity for a while? Or do you pop a pronouns pin on your costume and the next time you web up Doctor Octopus and he goes "I'LL GET YOU NEXT TIME SPIDER-MAN" you go "Spider-Girl actually! I've been figuring out some shit"

So what now?

FIC AND RELATED NONSENSE AD MOMENT!

IF you have not read The Stars Claim Them as a Magnus Archives and Mechanisms fan, why should you do so?

Slow burn fun times!

We are trekking, we are moving along, and the story is continuing!

This is an excellent time to get into things, as I, your author, am currently on a bit of a break with posting, and will be back to a regular posting schedule in the near future.

What is the story about?

(. . . insert word count joke here)

Becca.

All right, here's a quick summary :) Lyfrassir Edda, the viewpoint character of the Bifrost Incident, survives the apocalypse, and eventually ends up crashlanding on Earth before the events of the Magnus Archives and getting very involved in things. Events spiral from there. We've got Mechanisms, we've got TMA folks, we've got a few too many Michaels, we've got some OCs I love a lot, we've got unexpected leaps back into Mechanisms albums. . . I've been having a blast for the past two and a half years, and I hope you all have a blast too.

IF you at one point have read any part of The Stars Claim Them. . .

This is a perfect opportunity to catch up! I've been taking a break from regular posting since finishing posting the fourth part, and I'll not be returning to that until I've got enough of a buffer built up that I feel comfortable posting once a week again. As well, we've got some fun stuff, like a fun and very normal discord server, some side stories and AUs I've written over the past year or so and the like. I hope you have a blast!

If you're interested in the discord server and haven't seen a link before, let me know and I can shoot you a link!
