What do you think are some of Juniper’s favorite drinks? You think he’s a cocktail guy?

That guy tried beer once when he was 15 and vowed to never touch it again. ANYWAYS -

We know he's a wine guy from ieytd 2 (brah has a wine CELLAR) and I think he VERY MUCH enjoys fruity cocktails. The less like alcohol it tastes, the better

genuinely really frustrating that people will like. choose to accept the age mistake made in assassin as canon for deathbringer when it actively contradicts older material. like. sorry idk if this is me being unfair here but genuinely like. why would you think it's intentional when deathbringer is described in main series as maybe a year or two older than glory at most, and can canonically not be any older than 9 due to stated timeline facts in the main series.

like. I get not liking glorybringer, i really do. no ship is for everyone. hell, even if assassin specifically makes you feel weird about it, so be it, to each their own. i can undertsnad that too. and yes, the glorybringer fans who think the age gap are canon are also in the wrong. they're being really gross, i don't think it's necessary to disclaim that, that feels given, but like... that only comes to my point still of like, i really don't understand taking a spin-off as canon over the main series. i don't really understand prioritizing later content as canon as opposed to the main work over spin-off as canon. why should a spin-off take jurisdiction just cuz it's newer? i feel like the older the canon is, the more likely it is the newer stuff will make mistakes. to me, in the case of a contradiction, the main series should be taken to? a spin-off is meant to supplement the main series, so shouldn't it only supplement canon that doesn't contradict?

like also, i get being frustrated it isn't fixed, but also. like. i obviously have not worked with a publisher before, but if I was writing for fucking scholastic books, no matter how well fucking beloved my series was, I don't know if I could risk being like "hey. can you pull my books from shelves and e-stores for me so that I can edit one line?" Like. I really don't think there's any reality in which I can make a corporation agree to that kind of thing, no matter what that one line may fuck up about my main story. like it's not even the only mistake she makes in the winglets. she calls deathbringer a rainwing in the flip book, but we're not hailing that as canon in retrospect, right? I don't know. I think it's unfair to presume that she's choosing not to fix it as opposed to it being an improbable to downright impossible thing to ask of a publisher. like yes tui is an incredibly successful author but i really don't know if we can presume she has that much actual sway on her publisher.

it's just really exhausting as a deathbringer enjoyer to feel like if I want to talk about and enjoy his character, and yes, that includes context given in the assassin winglet once you ignore the timeline error, i feel like I constantlyyy have to be saying "yes I think the timeline error is an error. no i don't think deathbringer is 13." like. every time i bring him up. i'm a riptide fan I'm used to it but also it's sooooo tiring to go into a character tag for a guy i like and be swamped with hatred for him and it's so much worse for deathbringer than riptide because in the deathbringer tag I have to deal with being actively accused of excusing gross shit for liking him instead of people just saying that my blorbo is boring.

i agree 110% that dandelion is the storyteller, memory-recorder, history-writer, balladeer, etc. that he is the keeper of geralt’s legend, the representative of the immortalizing quality of a narrative. of course. this is especially true in lady of the lake and in nimue’s time when half a century of poetry has become an academic text.

but to be honest. i care more about dandelion in the fact that. that he’s kind of just geralt’s best friend and they like hanging out

switching from late 19th century (russian) lit straight to a french romantic (who wrote in the early 19th century tho this book is from 1850) is like if you're eating some really fancy carpaccio and then you switch to an ice cream sundae I don't even feel like I'm in the same restaurant here

I just feel like after fucking everything the most radical thing I can be is happy and yeah its a small, selfish, and ultimately inconsequential victory but it's mine

[cosmicrhetoric]

the thing about margolotta and vetinari is that we have seen that the two of them genuinely love hanging out and bearding for each other but they ALSO loooooooooove seeing the other made to look a little silly like it's always a game of thud <3 vetinari straight up laughed at her in unseen academicals and im convinced margolotta went back in time and instilled a deep love of trivia in that lady with the pet shop who does the crosswords as some sort of preemptive revenge. their goth continental long distance chess game swag

Timeloop au snippet

“What,” Lucien said, face turned into the paltry sunlight, “The hell did you do?”   Like he’d hoped- like he knew Nesta knew that the words were stark admiration- Nesta Archeron threw back her head, and laughed. “Did you know Illyrians have a proud, ancient tradition of epic poetry?”   The book in her hands, bound in lurid pink, was quite clearly a romance novel.   “No,” Lucien admitted, easy, settling in, “But I’m surprised you didn’t.”   One perfect brow arced high, her sharp face sharpened so much further in immortality.   “Are you?” Nesta drawled. “Because Feyre’s Court is so full of treasures?”   Because she’d spent four hundred years learning, it seemed, everything she could possibly get her hands on. “Archeron,” Lucien matched her tone, felt better than he had in days at the way her face brightened to hear it, “I know better than to underestimate you.”   Book shut with a snap, Nesta tossed it to the pile that trailed, following the path Lucien imagined she’d taken over the last few days, from shelf to chair to window. There was no logic to the titles, no unifying genre: atlas’s forming the base for stacked erotica, history books leaning on poetry, magical theory marked with torn ribbon.   “They also,” Nesta recited, moving to sit very properly upright, a society lady giving perfect presentation, “Have surprisingly tender courting traditions.”   Lucien slid further down, chin angled to meet her gaze.   “Least bloody Hybern in twenty lives,” he said, “Hybern lost an arm”-   “All you.”   Lucien could take credit when he wasn’t burning with curiosity. “I’m not in Spring, the Cauldron didn’t break, Elain isn’t catatonic, and Cassian isn’t guardian your door.”   Smug- the expression had no right sitting quite so fucking delightful, on her cruel, perfect mouth- Nesta grinned at him. “I had a lovely affair with a legionnaire.”

Austria coming in with another masterful execution of law!

Now that the covid mask mandate isn't valid anymore we revert back to a law that got approved in 2019 I think... Its a law that prohibits you from masking your face! (literally just made bc of Islamophobia)... So now it's illegal in Austria to wear a mask in public! But also at the same time required to wear a mask if you tested positive! And when your in like a hospital and retirement homes! So now if you wanna wear a mask you need a doctor's note so that you are allowed to in public! :D

I finally read The Last Wish (the book). It was interesting to see what the show was working with and the decisions it made... some of them were understandable but some of them were just baffling.

In light of the council meeting in Chapter 41.

honestly iconic that i dressed up as geralt last night for my office’s halloween party, and the very next day, the VERY next day, the morning i wake up… h*nry cav*ll has quit his job and has stopped being geralt.

obviously, the result of my immense power. and the power of books geralt’s headband and silver spikes

I bought the first 5 Bridgerton novels for cheap second hand when the show came out on Netflix and burned through them quite quickly, with nothing else to do until the fifth, which I put down for almost a year. I’ve just finished it and despite disliking all but the first and fourth books, I’M SCREAMING AND PULLING MY HAIR OUT THAT I DONT HAVE THE REST IMMEDIATELY!!!
