at the company holiday party and a buddy proposed "suicide via throwing yourself into the alligator moat at the Bass Pro Shop Pyramid, irrevocably changing the lives of dozens of horrified onlookers" as the coolest way to die which was the most inspired thing i've heard in a while

ANOTHER Cloudward Ho think I love is how Marya is being played by Emily as if she is ANCIENT but she would actually be like... 38? Marya was 18/19 in the opening scene and the main action is 19 years later. Like Van and Monty are probably in their 50s and Daisuke is 80 but Marya is just a haunted woman in her 30s.

I want to see a character sheet for Wealwell so bad. What's his class? He's clearly got a number of special "stances" that he can do to various effects. The stance he does in episode 3 let him become unmovable. Does he have a stance that increases his DC making him nearly unhittable? Perhaps an inspirational stance? And the exploding playing card! Does he have a trick deck that does that? Or can he sort of make things he throws explosive?

I feel like the party picked him up at the beginning and though he was a weight they'd have to lose but I kinda suspect he has decent stats and is just a bit of a coward.

another of the ways in which fiction absolutely lied to me and not prepared me at all for real life is friend groups.

Every story always has the one specific well defined friend group where everyone knows everyone else and is equally close to each other and dont hang out with anyone else outside of the friend group. Did you ever notice how absurdly pervasive that is in fiction?

im real life friend groups are this amorphous thing where not everyone knows each other and have different relations with each other and you will usually have multiple friend groups completly isolated from each other who in turn are conected to other groups totally divorces from yours and sometimes you will also have some one on one friendshios with some people who are not part of any group, and some times you will spend your time with people who are not "friends" but friends of friends or coworkers or what have you and its so incredibly messy and complicated and i dont know if any piece of fiction was ever able to truly capture that in its full complexity

I’m thirty three years old, and I’ve been gay my whole life.

Yesterday was the first time I understood the purpose of Pride.

The reason blackcurrant isn't big in the US is because all the invasive blackcurrant plants were removed to prevent White Pine Blister Rust. In the early 1900s there were very few ways to prevent the rust, which decimates Eastern White Pines. At the behest of the lumber industry, the US government banned the sale, transportation, and cultivation of black currants in 1911.

They are starting to make a bit of a comeback here, though I doubt they will ever reach the favor heights of Mixed Berry.

Despite the connected world, some experiences remain region-locked. My British children, for example, have access to all the usual artificial flavours - their freeze pops are things like Strawberry, Cola, and whatever “Tropical” is - but they also have access to “blackcurrant,” which for historical biosecurity reasons, did not penetrate my American childhood.

There aren’t a lot of things in the world that are restricted like that, but that’s one: blackcurrant flavour.
