It’s so crazy that Luke Skywalker thought his dad was just some freighter pilot and yet also claimed to be a podracing fan how did he not think to look at the records and see his dad was the only human to ever win the Boonta Eve Classic the legend who defeated the great Sebulba #FakeFan

Nestled amongst your books and papers, Tara bore witness to your greatest triumphs... and your greatest failure. You made yourself a walking cataclysm, the annihilation brewing within you just about held at bay by your constant consumption of magical objects. Tara saw it all, but never left your side.

i'm CERTAIN you'll have answered this somewhere, but i can't find it so i'll have to ask. is there a particular way of purchasing your debut that benefits you more than others in any way? I have no idea how you get paid for your work as an author, but i know it can be a minefield with creative careers.

thanks for your time, and i'm SO mega happy that you're getting your life back now, to actually live. i'm in awe of what you've acheived in the midst of so much, with so few answers, for so long.

super fucking excited for sir cameron!!!!!

I’ve been saying “lol I dunno” whenever people ask but yesterday I learned that THERE IS AN ANSWER!

it’s actually kinda interesting. so if you pre-order on most bookstore websites (indigo, waterstones, etc) the sales don’t get tabulated right away. when the book is actually released, in the first week of sales, THEN those pre-order sales are counted. so you can have slow but steady pre-order sales that get lumped together into an explosive first week, which makes your book look like a best-seller.

whereas with Amazon, the sale counts rights away. so if you have a good day of pre-order sales, it’ll boost the book for that day, and then come back down.

SO: the best place to pre-order is any site that isn’t Amazon. but tbh, it probably doesn’t matter that much and you should just go with whatever is most convenient for you :) and also thank you so much!

Just saw a post asking how tall people are and now I want to make it a poll. Apologies to people in the fringe height categories, you do not get specifics.

I had to consult a chart for this

Being the only bi cis guy amongst almost exclusively trans friends and peers is wild because in theory its like im living in a horny manga where all of a dudes friends turn into hot babes, but in reality they are hunting me like the last bison on the prairie. 5 years ago I mentioned bionicle and one of them asked when I was starting estrogen.

I know that some British people take umbrage at Americans calling the Great British Bake Off relaxing, but it's just because GBBO is such a different kind of stressful from American baking shows.

American baking shows will be called something like "Cupcake Knife Fight", there's horror movie lighting everywhere and dramatic stings every 5 seconds. All of the contestants are shit talking each other and fist fighting over the one single deep fryer provided by production. It will show the judges all whispering to each other at their super villain table overlooking the whole kitchen, and one will be like, "Oh my god. Everyone look at Brenda right now. She's straight tanking it." And it will cut to Brenda, who is running around covered in flour and crying and also bleeding for some reason. Then you get a clip from an interview with one of the contestants, and they're like, "I really need to win this. Without this award money, I'm gonna need to close my restaurant, sell my dad, and live out of my car. AGAIN." Then the giant digital doomsday clock overhead lets out a horrid klaxon, the judges tell half of them that their cupcakes taste disgusting, and one of them gets eliminated and sent to walk down the dramatically-lit shame hallway never to be seen again.

Meanwhile GBBO is in a lovely, brightly colored tent, there are delightful and friendly hosts/jesters there to keep everyone entertained, and all of the B Roll is of like... a bumblebee going into a flower, or a lamb running in a field. And yes, there will be moments where someone will mess up their timing or something, and they'll be looking at their bake through the oven door like, "oh gosh I don't think this will rise in time!" Then they stand up to find Paul Hollywood directly behind them ominously. His creepy whitewalker eyes will glow white, and he'll say something like "the 12th of June. 2035. Drowning." And his eyes will go back to normal and he'll walk away. Then the baker gives a playful grimace to the camera and says "that didnt sound great, did it?". Cut to a sweet looking older woman sipping tea on a stool and she says "oo I do hope that Prue enjoys the taste of my sugary, sticky baps!". Then, at the end, someone gets a gold star for doing good, and the loser of the episode gets in the middle of a giant group hug. You see all of them at the end of the series at a giant carnival with their families and the post credits informs you that all of the contestants have become a Partridge Family-style traveling band and stayed friends forever.

i can never articulate it properly but something that rotates permanently in my head is that the first time you get a real indication of Shadowheart behaving… abnormally for a Sharran is when you’re in the Grove and she approves when you save Arabella from the snake. and then you find out later that one of the only memories Shadowheart has been allowed to keep was the Mother Superior threatening to throw Shadowheart into a wolves den if she was in trouble as a child. like yeah seeing a little girl, terrified out of her mind, being threatened with a deadly animal and an adult stepping up to say That’s Not Right, She’s Just A Child, This Punishment Can’t Fit The Crime Here, actually protecting the child instead of allowing it to happen… probably one of the first steps towards her deconditioning

Thinking a lot about how Massachusetts politics is basically socialist libertarianism. We believe strongly in each person’s right to be left the fuck alone and to their own fucking business. But that doesn’t just magically happen. Sometimes we all need to pitch in to ensure that Stevie over here can be left the fuck alone and to his own fucking business.

Maybe that’s shoveling out his driveway. Maybe that’s subsidizing his health care. Maybe that’s paying for good schools so he can figure out what he wants his own fucking business to fucking look like. Maybe that’s regulating guns or getting vaccinated so he doesn’t die in a mass shooting or from a preventable disease - you know what stops you real fast from doing whatever it is that’s your own fucking business? Dying.

Happy pride month to my dad. When I came out as bi to him, this man googled what it ment, look at me and said "ohh. Yeah. You get that from me. You'd have far more siblings of I only shaged women." And went right back to his work emails.
