god all the speculation about who was the traitor and it ended up being the vegapunk full of desire RIGHT after stella's "we owe everything to desire!" speech, like the irony of it all

If you're still taking troll requests can I ask for hamster!Floyd in a little hamster cage? Maybe he's running on the wheel or eating seeds or looking through the bars all sad at being neglected by Velvet and Veneer? Thanks! 🐹

this cage is too dang small for that hamster

thoughts on beforus ancestors?

by virtue of the fact that aranea didnt share a single thing about her or her friends ancestors and never even mentioned her own ancestor even when she was literally roleplaying as mindfang right in front of vriska makes me think that because adult trolls can stay on-planet and even raise wrigglers of their own instead of relying on lusii would probably indicate a weaker cultural impact ancestors had on society as a whole.

on alternia because trolls were hyper-competent and independent without any cultural touchstones outside of what have been left behind for them ancestors have taken on this mythological role where your ancestor has to somehow be "important" or have contributed anything meaningful, for good or for ill, and that you should strive to be like that.

in contrast the beforus trolls dont seem to give a shit that they hang out with alternate versions of their ancestors and have very little commentary to say about it. but also most of the beforus trolls are insane by being in the afterlife as teenagers for millions of years with only themselves and infinite variations of the eleven people they hate to talk to so ancestors probably arent on their minds anyway.

i do find it interesting how little aranea seems to be interested in worldbuilding her own universe and instead fixates on alternia because of her idealization of alternian culture.

anyway i think kankris ancestor had shouting matches with the empress on a daily basis.

My headcanons for the named trio in The Cursing of Chateau Castle series:

Josephandre is a big bear. It just fits for him I think! He gets he/him pronouns, and as a way to make him a liiiil more relatable for Mira, he'd have two craft types (Rock type being his main one and paper craft for the other). Battle style wise, I think it fits him to be more of a self-sustaining tank. He buffs defense, heals, and puts up shields. For his weapon, he'd use his fists like Isabeau. He'll be the second fastest in the trio.

Lady Irene-Janine-Kanine looks like an elegant noblewoman on the outside but she has vibes similar to Euphrasie! She gets she/her pronouns. Her craft type is Paper. Battle style wise, she's more on the offensive side, a main dps kind of thing. Most of her skills focus on buffing attack and speed, she'd have an item that helps regen her hp a lil bit and her chosen weapon is an umbrella. The tip is a sharp blade so it's used like a spear that has a hidden sword in its handle. Open it, and it becomes a shield! That'd be one of her skills too, although it's only applicable to her. She's the fastest one of the trio.

Pierre-Jacques-Erneste looks like a nobleman and carries himself as such! He gets he/they pronouns. Their craft type is Scissors. Battle style wise, he's more of a debuffer, skills focusing on weakening the enemies, slowing them down, poisoning them. Their weapon is a sword dagger, though he doesn't seem to be able to handle it well, how clumsy! But he Is a nobleman so it makes sense! Oh but... why doesn't he have a title? They're the slowest one of the trio, how strange, he seemed to be faster than Lady Irene-Janine-Karine that one time though.

remembering that time i forgot i left oil in a pan on a lit stove while cutting peppers for an omelet a few months ago.

me: 'oh, what's that sound? it sounds like my alarm clock.' *two seconds later* me: 'I didn't leave my alarm clock on this morning...' *looks over and realizes wtf is happening*

anyway, i then proceeded to speculate w my friend on whether or not a firefighter au could work because im just that unhinged. JUST THAT UNHINGED. (ofc like after the smoke cleared out and everything WAS FINE. rip that pan though dude).

"AND ITD BE CALLED 'SHE SET THE ROOM A-BLIGHT'" "no it should be 'She set the room a-luz"" "wait no ur so right." that idea lives in my head rent FREE. RENT FREE. both of those puns, "PLEASE TELL ME THE FIRST RESPONSE YOU HAD FROM ALMOST BURNING DOWN UR APARTMENT WAS NOT FANFICTION, BILLY"

"..."

"BILLY!!!"

today at school i went to the bathroom and i was honestly stalling going back to class by being on my phone, and just when i was about leave someone walked in. and she saw me and then took half a step back to check if she was in the right bathroom before entering. and i left but honestly i’ve been thinking about it since…

[july-19th-club]

my favorite kinds of people who come into the library are the ones like the guy this morning who made some copies at the machine, watched me check out someone's books, leaned conspiratorially on the counter and said "So do people come in and get books?" and when i said "Every day" went "Really? People still read huh?" and then walked out without getting anything

[fantastenby]

just finished chants of sennaar

had a good time! definitely a unique take on a puzzle game

idk about its replayability wrt memorizing answers to puzzles, but maybe I can do a challenge run in the future where I don't use the notebook or something?

air showed me another ep of normal gossip podcast and I am shaking my head in exasperation. listen if you are up against someone who has been stealing from her fiance’s family for MONTHS you need to make the assumption that you are not dealing with someone who Will Just Be Reasonable About It, you need strategies and you need counterstrategies, you need to make this airtight. the goal should always be 1) outmaneuvering her, 2) cornering her. don’t look for a soft approach are you kidding me. anyway the strategy I put forth was having the girlfriend, boyfriend, and grandma’s “friend” collaborate, set it up so that everyone’s having a private dinner together somewhere with parents, grandma, grandma’s “friend”, boyfriend, girlfriend, have girlfriend ask boyfriend to get her purse (which looks exactly like brother’s fiance’s purse), boyfriend *has* to bring brother’s fiance’s purse, girlfriend has to go very still, say that it isn’t her purse, and take out the stolen jewelry. from there brother’s fiance will obviously try to spin it around and there are a few obvious routes she can take, either 1) will exclusively accuse boyfriend of theft/framing, 2) will accuse boyfriend and girlfriend of working together, so IN ORDER to circumvent that and maintain control of the situation, two things need to happen: 1) girlfriend has to turn to brother’s fiance with the Biggest Wettest Eyes and go like ‘it was you? is that why you were telling me all those negative things about my boyfriend? were they even true?’ because this establishes to the parents that brother’s fiance has been working behind the scenes AND talking shit about their son out of earshot, 2) this is critical, do NOT give brother’s fiance any time to respond, you NEED to have grandma’s friend chime in with SOME evidence, it doesn’t matter if it’s true or not it just has to be plausible and impossible to disprove—something like ‘I was asking around and one of the hotel staff said they saw you coming out of our room’ BECAUSE boyfriend/girlfriend on their own can have suspicions easily turned against them, but grandma’s friend is a completely objective party, she doesn’t know girlfriend so she has no reason to defend her. also giving grandma’s friend a task ensures that she has something to do because if she doesn’t have a part in the plan she’ll make her own plan. they didn’t do any of that AND girlfriend didn’t even get her TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS BACK GIRL THAT’S ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS YOU GOTTA TAKE CARE OF GET YOUR FUCKING MONEY!! anyway the fiance got picked up by a getaway car and fled the scene. tch

do you think wizards with astigmatism but without glasses see wisps with those streaks you see late at night from light sources? Do they see someone cast a storm/fire spell squinting like "wow this is weird"? Hopefully you know what im saying bc i dont know the correct term but reading your tag on the post with the diviner and near sightedness I've wondered.. (from an anon with both near sightedness and astigmatism)

AHH i love this question as i am also a person with near sightedness and astigmatism i love the idea of wizards with astigmatism seeing those light streaks (which might be called a refractive error?) coming from the wisps and spells and i think this absolutely would happen to them. in my head, i think wizards with astigmatism would have to get special lenses to correct the fuzzy or streakiness from their spells which might cause them to unfocus - and therefore - fizzle. (thats just what i think though, i dont know if there is an actual in universe explantion for what causes fizzling. i assume that fizzling has to do, at least in part, with vision because the spell smokescreen kind of implies that with the name and the sun school accuracy enchantments have names like "keen eyes" ?????) not to mention things like depth perception when casting spells, i would fuck that up even with my glasses on i like to imagine a young wizard seeing a diviner or pyromancer cast one of their spells, mentioning something about the streaks/fuzziness around their spell, and then having the diviner or pyromancer look at them like they're crazy. or alternatively, the other wizard has an "I KNOW RIGHT??" moment (they both need to get their eyes checked)
