You know, I thought cooked was modern slang, but turns out it's also 1940s slang. Like, I was reading "A Farewell To Arms" and they were using cooked the same way we do now.

Ok guys

Guys you gotta hear me out

Hear me out on this one

Guys

If/when the cosmere gets an animated series, they GOTTA do this thing

Make every planet have different artstyles, like in spiderverse's different dimensions

Every shard influences the people it has power over differently

And you can see what planet worldhoppers are from, but this doesn't affect the plot

Guys please spread my genius

You know, none of the seven deadly sins are inherently evil. In fact, they are all actively beneficial in moderation. Sloth prevents us from burning out. Gluttony gives the body everything it needs to physically sustain itself. Pride is necessary to have good mental health. Lust allows us to continue to exist as a species. Envy serves as motivation for us to improve ourselves based on the good things we see in others. Greed gives us the desires that lead us to technological innovations that benefit us.

It is only when we have these in excess that they become sins.

But if no Rock, then no stew. Therefore Rock is the true hero of Stormlight

The true hero of Stormlight is stew. It's not Dalinar -- if not saved by Bridge 4 he'd have been long dead, if no stew, no Bridge 4 heroics. It's not Kaladin -- if no stew, no therapy, no there to become a Herald and save spren.

It's the fucking stew

Here is my initial pass at the chorus of Fleet's song. It's experimental? Because I latched onto a very silly idea and it wouldn't leave my head.

The chorus has lyrics, which for right now are:

Run, Fleet run! Outrun the running Storm

Don't stop following stable true your course

Each new danger made of Night and Stone

Wind's own gift, may Stormwind take him home

But each first beat is also emphasized by the high note, and when you take just those syllables, you get,

Run run run run!

Don't fall; stay true

Each day made night

Wind give[gift] wind take

So the idea here would be to optionally split vocals into one line that sings the full chorus, and one line that sings just the emphasis chorus; addtl; the full chorus singer would not do the jumps up to high Do (high C, as I've written it) with the flute and instead follow the notes in the middle line up there.

I don't love the "don't stop following stable true your course" line because it doesn't make a ton of sense, but it's the best I've come up with so far. I was also trying to make the "each day made night" emphasis line into more of a "each day and night" but couldn't quite figure out how to mesh it with the "each new danger made of night and stone" line. (I am, however, proud of using "danger" to create "day".)

PSA: if you're avoiding Wind and Truth spoilers, don't look up this story or song!

the problem with water is like. it's the cleaning fluid right. that's the obvious part. you stop drinking and you stop peeing and your kidneys are like ough. ough. ough. ough. but you don't die. unless you're not drinking anything At All and not eating watery food either. so all it is is you pee less but you're okay. kind of.

BUT THEN when it gets too hot it starts being the coolant! and suddenly there are so many ways it can get out! you have so many sweat glands and so much skin and they all need to be cooled down before you DIE.

but then. you realize the least obvious one. it's the transmission fluid. it's the fucking transmission fluid. you can't transmit SHIT without your fliud. which is still fucking water somehow.

so now you're LEAKING your transmission fluid out of every goddamn pore and your kidneys are like hey. gimme that cleaning fluid cmon dude. while your pores are like ITS COOLANT. NEED COOLANT. FOR THE FIRE. NEED MORE COOLANT. SO MUCH FIRE. KILL IT. KILL IT MORE. MORE COOLANT. and then. the rest of you. that uses all that fluid to transmit things. it's like hey. hey. hey what the fuck.. i need that. hello? can anyone hear me? hello? it's so dark in here..

and then you drink more water or you die.

My roommates got married last week and said today that they’re planning on moving to somewhere else in the city, and asked me to move with them when they do.

Which I appreciate so much, they’re both fantastic roommates and I really don’t want to try and find another place on my own, but also. Jesus Christ what a look. “Hiii we’re the Thompsons, we just moved in down the street, that’s my husband and that’s the ghoul who used to live in our basement”

A fantasy story starting with the protagonist minding her own business gathering firewood, when a demon appears out of nowhere announcing that she belongs to him now. The protagonist demands to know on what grounds, she's never signed no damn contract. The demon is kind of baffled by this, and awkwardly explains that just now her father had promised his firstborn for something, and she is his firstborn.

The protagonist digs her heels in and says no, she never knew her biological father and by the way the demon explained the situation, evidently her father also doesn't know that he already has a daughter, so therefore the man who had made no contribution to her life after he bred and fled has no claim to her as something he could barter.

Not giving a shit about the fact she's gambling her life in doing so, the protagonist makes contact with the local woodland fae, asking them to negotiate on her side. The fae think that this is fucking hilarious and go with her. So, having lawyered up and with a reluctant demon in tow, the protagonist heads off on a quest to find her father and do whatever it takes to wrangle everyone involved into unmaking the contract.

Tumblr is super big on the "I didn't say it was good, I said I liked it" but really need to discover the value in its opposite of "I didn't say it was bad, I said I hated it".

You can acknowledge that something is good, great, a masterpiece even, and just straight-up not enjoy it.

fuuuuck i just realized that the future idealized version of myself cant exist without current me being the catalyst for change and doing hard things. has anybody heard about this

[mickelm7]

genuinely fucked up that if i want to interact with someone online i have to say words and have a conversation instead of just mashing my face against them like a cat

Masterpieces should not have titles that will make people look at you weird if you recommend them.

This animation is absolutely incredible. Like seriously, this is better than at least half of professional animation. I want to watch the whole series with this type of animation

I finished the Kaladin and Zahel animation and also made a sticker!

If you would like your very own 4x4 inch water prof vinyl "Wit Is An Asshole" sticker you can use the link to preorder one using the link. They’ll be shipped out mid to late June.

I mean I'm fine with this but I'm definitely not a lesbian given that I am not a woman.
