#an idle question

[colorisbyshe]

you know what i've been thinking about... any gay ship that even vaguely hits the sunshine x grumpy trope, like really, really broadening what that means but any ship where one dude is a bit more repressed (or even just shy) or dour or even just has a more muted/darker color palette (darker hair, clothes primarily) while one is more expressive or happy or bright...

typically the "grumpy" is seen as gay and the "sunshine" one is seen as bi. hell, if the sunshine one is vibrant enough, he's now not even bi but pan

...

what the fuck is that about

A question that has always intrigued me

If Morgoth is a Thought of Eru Ilúvatar, and Morgoth is the original corruption of Arda, then I don’t think Eru is as omnibenevolent as Tolkien would want us to think.

thoughts and feelings on Neomuna and the Cloudstriders?

it's been a minute since i ran lightfall so i went back through ishtar to read up and here's what i've got: I think they mirror the guardians in a really interesting way. While being granted the light is functionally random and not something the lightbearer in question has a say in (as they're usually dead), becoming a cloudstrider is an entirely voluntary process (with perhaps the exception of the first cloudstrider, who acquired her abilities accidentally). There's also mentions of cloustriders being vetted, meaning that the decision to become a cloudstrider is not purely up to the individual but rather the community, which is interesting when placed in contrast to how ghosts just kind of.. pick a corpse based on vibes and hope things turn out ok. Also the whole "ten years and then your body rapidly decays around you" thing versus being able to die ad infinitum (assuming nothing happens to your ghost). Also cloudstriders on their own are fascinating too. Deliberately sacrificing not only your life but, to an extent, your ability to be and act like a person is wild. From the Cloud Strider Legacies lorebook:

"You don't die after ten years. You die the second you gulp your first breath with those new nanite-enhanced lungs. You don't get to be human anymore. Not with this kind of power. You don't get foibles or fears or wants. You're an ideal.

You need to be the best things about this city—the kindness, the empathy, the courage—and you give up the luxury of weakness."

(also not to get back on the comparison train but the whole thing about becoming a cloudstrider being a death in and of itself versus resurrection being the first memory a guardian has.) Also I like Nimbus, and I hope we'll be able to give them cookies next dawning.

Why does the alphabet have an order. If it's not numbers. Is it just for the sake of order

[therulerofallpotatos]

the thing is im weird enough to potentially be interesting but irreverent enough to get myself killed over something petty but philosophical enough to maybe get invited to dinner but annoying enough to get invited to dinner but autistic enough that I might be able to seduce Hannibal Lecter

Reading House of Leaves and man I wish that Danielewski would stop trying to maintain Truant's characterization as kind of a dumbass by sprinkling superficial grammatical errors into what is otherwise standard (if casual) literary prose. I mean, look at this:

Zampanò himself probably would of insisted on corrections and edits, he was his own harshest critic, but I've come to believe errors, especially written errors, are often the only markers left by a solitary life: to sacrifice them is to lose the angles of personality, the riddle of a soul. In this case a very old soul. A very old riddle.

There is no way a guy who'd write "would of" would write the rest of that paragraph. Just admit you either can't or don't want to write a narrator who convincingly comes across as unlettered and lean into Johnny being a dirtbag with booksmarts.
