I'm an Australian. What's the best place to buy Of Monsters and Mainframes?

It would be deeply, personally funny to me if you'd buy it from Blackwell.

But you can buy it from a lot of different places. Pre-orders, I've been told, are really good for authors. I'm not sure how all the numbers and magic works, but I trust the process (I don't trust the process, I'm so scared and excited and scared).

I'm also sending my hoard of these types of photos :3

I TURN MY BACK FOR 5 MINUTES AND I GET A HOARD, WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS

sometimes i'm super chill and then i see sentences in the wild to the likes of 'no one else but (someone who is not kazami) would stick to the end with furuya" and i think hello? do you make nothing of all the hard work of "i have tried to follow you desperately, but" kazami yuuya-kun? his blood and sweat? the way his entire private life has been foregone just to stick with furuya rei? does his hard work mean nothing to you?

When Asmodeus said to Zerxus he'd protect him from fae this *points to Fearne getting her hand kissed by Teven* is what he meant

Not (just) because they're dangerous, but because they charming--- Stop flirting with the changeling! No, do not kiss the satyr's hand--- Don't let that eladrin touch your cheek, this is my last warning! Oh they're taking off their pants, I'm gonna rip their face off...

I've finally caught up with and finished the crown keepers interlude and I cannot believe I haven’t seen anyone talk about the nature of splitting souls in Exandria, this shit is wild!!

Like!! Is Opal and Ted's situation similar in nature to that of Molly and Lucien? I spoke once of how, though they started out as a single person, merging them back into a single body post Molly's death wasn’t enough to merge them back into a single entity; they had spent too much time apart, become separate. Only by scrubbing their now separate souls clean of their memories could they be truly reunited in the birth of Kingsley; this also meant the death of both of them, as their memories, experiences, and the personality shaped by them was gone, replaced by an empty soul to be shaped anew, being neither and both of them.

This doesn’t seem to be the case for Opal and Ted. If I understand the situation correctly, the intent was for them to eventually be reunited in the same body, where they would merge back into a singular person. We saw in EXU that, though sharing a body, they were still very much separate personalities, much like Lucien and Molly were described to be in the Lucien novel. Is this just a matter of time? Would they have become harder to tell apart the longer they spent together (much like Laudna and Delilah) until they eventually became one? Would this have happened to Molly and Lucien too, with time? What would this have meant, as they were both in Opal's body, specifically, with Ted having much less agency? Would Opal's personality have gotten the upper hand, so to speak, in shaping who they became? Was this how it was supposed to work, or had the ritual gone wrong? Were they meant to have merged physically as well as mentally, putting them on a more equal level of control? What would the process of becoming one person look like? Is it scary? Does it feel like part of you dying and being replaced by an other? Does it feel like losing someone you love? Or is it a comfort? Can you fight it? Can you refuse? How does it compare to consecution, where you remember your other selves, but they never get to exist next to you, as a separate person?

And what will happen to them now? With Opal's memory of their true connection becoming fuzzy, will that hinder them coming together as one, as there is now a rift of unfamiliarity between them? Or will it ultimately help, the way being emptied brought Molly and Lucien together, but at the price of Opal losing much or her personhood?

My favorite thing like.... ever on this site is when people reblog their own posts with one or two sentences that make NO SENSE when you glance over it, but you click on the original post and there is an entire story in the tags.

Example, of which I'm pulling out of the air,

OP: I'm eating pizza!!

OP's reblog: I died.

I mean, given y'know, humor, that might make some sense, but you'd check the tags on the original post and they'd be

#I'm playing hardcore minecraft! #the grease of the pizza is making it hard to play #hope I don't die :(

Best part is, I've genuinely seen people give like an entire day's worth of context tags and sometimes, you know the person. Their story for the day sounds strongly like your family's weekly day at the park.

no matter what your most embarrassing moment in life is, at least it’s not having fucking chat gpt write fanfic for you bc you’re too lazy to do it yourself

[mearchy]

my favorite genre of fictional character is like "i am terrifying to almost everyone, i'm very good at killing, i can endure anything, i've become exceptionally good at playing into my reputation, and if you try to give me positive social interaction i will react with confusion and cower in a corner like an abused animal. and i may try to shoot you. but there is also a chance i may imprint on you like a feral dog receiving its first loving touch! good luck."

i'm a writer irl (can't say who because my agent would rightfully put me into a blender and press the button if i go and out myself as "balrogballs") and honestly the funniest and most humiliating incident of my life was the time my finished manuscript triggered a plagiarism flag with the publisher for two lines of prose in my literary fiction novel...

.... which was word for word similar to a paragraph in a certain explicit work on FFN starring elrond and his batsman from the hobbit films, aka that one elf that looked like he ate panic attacks for breakfast (i forget his name but it's Figwit II) where the lord of imladris bends said twink over his writing desk and gives him the battering ram treatment.

and if you think i had to sit in front of one if the biggest publishing companies in the world and admit that it was, in fact, me who wrote the fic where the lord of imladris bends said twink over his writing desk and gives him the battering ram treatment in order to avoid being wrongly flagged for plagiarism, you would be absolutely correct.

(yes they published the book)
