Teppic stared into his wine mug. These men are philosophers, he thought. They had told him so. So their brains must be so big that they have room for ideas that no one else would consider for five seconds. On the way to the tavern Xeno had explained to him, for example, why it was logically impossible to fall out of a tree.

Unfortunately I am a completely impractical person, caught up in endless trains of thought. All of us are fantasists, ill-equipped for life, the children as much as myself. It seems to me sometimes that we never get used to being on this earth and life is just one great, ongoing, incomprehensible blunder.

there's a trend on instagram to draw your OC as like a kid/cisswap/villain version and it's been cracking me up bc if I did it with Callebero, they'd basically all be just his canon self

Learn to draw. Or to play the cello. Or to tap dance. Something impractical, even useless. Whatever it is, it ought to be hard for you, something you haven't really got time for, and that by professional standards you probably won't ever do well.

Donating Stonehenge and keeping it cheap/free was a pretty great move

but to be fair to his wife Stonehenge is pretty shit as dining chairs. She probably had company coming and nowhere for them to sit or something.

I just learned people in REAL LIFE actually tried to SUE GOD and one of them, Betty Penrose, actually WON because God "failed to turn up in court" AND THIS IS HILARIOUS

There was even this case of a guy who filed a lawsuit against the Romanian Orthodox Church, as God's representatives in Romania, for failing to keep him from the Devil, essentially stating that his baptism had been a binding contract. And let me tell you this is A VERY MATHIAS CRONQVIST THING TO DO AND I WANT A FANFICTION ABOUT HIM TRYING TO FILE A SUIT AGAINST GOD FOR KILLING HIS WIFE AND LET HIM TURN HIMSELF INTO A VAMPIRE (Btw this case was dismissed because God was neither an individual nor a company, and was therefore not subject to the civil court of law's jurisdiction)

But also I heard netherborn biology and I'm staring intensely cus like we (recently) focus more on culture worldbuilding but like 👀👀👀

EHEHEHEHEHEH

I only have just over a thousand words total between two documents and who knows if it'll ever pass the threshold of "finished" but we'll see! Hopefully because the biology ideas will fit much more nicely there than just chillin as individual headcanons! I offer you this though:

March Book Reviews: Impractical by Megan Derr

Still on my silly novels backread. This is a shortish novella with two linked romances. Organized Terrell takes his arranged marriage into stride and is certain that it won't disturb his orderly life. Kirian is impulsive and has a reputation for starting fights-- which influences his student advisor into blackmailing him into marrying a fellow student.*

Like most of the Derr books I've read, this is fun and fluffy, if a bit implausible at points. Balancing the two different romances makes an interesting contrast between the two protagonists' very dissimilar personalities. However, this did weigh down the plot at times, as Derr seems determined to wedge in the three-plus standard sex scenes-- for each protagonist. I found this to be a bit much for a one hundred thirty eight page book.

*Yeah this one made me go hellaux??? too. rating: NOT cute, contact your university administrators immediately to file a complaint.

Once more something had slipped through my fingers. Only this time I knew very well what it was. Money. The heart of reality. The rejection of reality the only crime. I was a dreamer, a criminal. I wrung my hands.
