#logically impossible

[pratchettquotes]

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.

thinking about kim namwoon again… but 1863

in that round, he’s introduced wearing han sooyoung’s white coat (making kim dokja think he’s the leader for like half a second, which is hilarious. could you imagine)

it’s… cute?? he looks up to her so much that he tries mimicking her

I wonder if kim namwoon in the other rounds would steal yoo joonghyuk’s black coat the same way (rather... would yoo joonghyuk let him...)

and, well, dressing up in someone else’s clothes…

…you know

on that note, kim dokja’s advice to kim namwoon in 1863 is to just act more like yoo joonghyuk

the only way he can be liked is by becoming someone other than himself, huh

artem's personal stories are always so good. like they are the only constant in this game in that i get the same enjoyment reading them as i did his original personal stories 1-4.

this latest event has been one of my favorites for a few reasons, but i feel legally required to post about this

absolute iconic. malewife artem is now a canon concept and he gets REALLY embarrassed about it

the truly problematic thing about having insanely vivid dreams just about every night--and i mean the kind of vivid where you remember details days or even weeks later, like it's just another normal-ass memory--is that you wind up losing track on an emotional level of what's real. like. i know that was a dream. obviously it was a dream. but some part of my brain misses it like it really happened. i am painfully, achingly nostalgic for people i've never met, places i've never been, shit that literally could not ever happen--but i feel as though i remember. which is just the most unhinged thing, right? like, i remember going on a run that took me over a fence into Disneyland, and i remember having to take a shortcut through a Chinese restaurant, but it was fine, because Erika Ishii was there, and they'd done this before, so no worries. right? no! obviously not! why do i remember this with such visceral clarity three weeks later?

oh, what's your favorite episode of this TV show? the one i dreamt. yeah, don't worry about it, it didn't make coherent sense, but it was in the feelings, right? my ship had the best fucking scene. no, of course i can't explain it to you, that's madness. it involved a rocking chair. don't worry about it. it's fine. it's super important i don't accidentally reference this in a fic someday, though.

this shit is deranged, dude. missing people who are quite literally my own brain's invention with an actor's face. missing places that are a meld of a movie i saw once, my childhood bedroom, the second floor of my high school, and inter-dimensional space. like. no! no, this shouldn't be a thing! is, though. the clarity of it. just fucking bananas. this has been happening to me my whole goddamn life.

My Mcr, Patd and starkid hyper fixations are all screaming and throwing tantrums in my brain demanding my constant attention meanwhile my unfinished math IXL’s are dragging their limp malnourished bodies across the floor begging for a crumb of my time

the problem is I’m such a staunch believer in the slow buildup, the earnest enjoyment of meandering through terrible story decisions and weird nothing subplots to build up into a conclusion that explodes out from all that as fantastic storytelling and intrigue based on all that buildup, such that it makes it necessary to get through all that or you’re missing something essential, that I’m also a terrible person to talk to about what makes a story good. I can tell you plenty of what actually makes something tight and well-written and all that technical speak but how could anyone take my advice when I so so so love excruciatingly long unnecessarily complex fumbling and weird nonsense that spirals into, inexplicably, weird nonsense that makes you cry your lungs sore

I really want to grab Ohba's shoulders and shake him as hard as I can, while asking him, "was it so hard to quickly search what happens after 102 hours of sleep deprivation or did you seriously think that that was a good idea to add because the fans would eat that up uncritically and it would make perfectly sense for L and fix everything to just get 17 hours of sleep afterwards?"

Having read the Overlord Light Novels I genuinely think people who are frustrated that Ainz is too powerful to lose are missing the point of the entire story.

I can see why you'd think that way if you only watched the Anime though, like, yeah valid complaint tbh.

Several times while reading I'm shocked (and honestly speaking, sometimes bored) by the amount of depth given to some side characters. Like, why do I need all this backstory??? Who are these people?

Then Ains comes in and I suddenly get it. This is a world that existed waaaaaay before Ains got there, there are people who are playing games that were set up 100 years before Ains got there.

And he just...invalidates it. Honestly, it's kind of hilarious. The tension doesn't come from "He could lose this fight at any time.” The tension comes from "How does him entering the ring change the course for the entire nation?" The tension comes from, "What's going to happen after he wins?"

Coupled with the fact that Momonga himself is pretty bumbling when it comes to long term goals I find that I don't care if he wins or loses. I'm interested in how it gets spun, I'm interested in the repercussions, how does everyone else react to his feats? That's the real fun of Overlord.

ok, yknow what. it still bewilders me how comfortable ludger was even though he was forced to share the same room with casey. even i would hate sharing the same room with my family, no matter how close we are. plus ignoring the matter of attractions and embarrassment, ludger is still someone who is extremely introverted and highly values his privacy, so ¿¿¿¿¿¿ whats going on here and why did he consider [giving casey her own private room] == [she is now in debt to him] as if it didnt benefit them both or its not something he also wanted ??????

[noecoded]

did anyone even think about the fact that the beginning of nightbringer must be at a time in which human society is not nearly as advanced as it is now like the very beginnings. but the shitty versions of tikok and instagram still exist in the world even though devildom technology is notably behind human world tech because they have magic and didn't need to develop all of the tools humans did.this doesnt even make sense the obey me timeline is just fuckedup BWAHAH

I can’t articulate it, but it gets to me that, outside of Spock and I think Tuvok, being logical and regulating emotions isn’t something that Vulcans are shown to just endure, the same way they endure lower temperatures for other species, or higher oxygen for other species, or anything else that has to be incredibly uncomfortable at best to painful at worst that they just endure

The vibe I get from it is that a majority of Vulcans enjoy it, they like being logical, maybe they didn’t get a choice in being logical as kids, but unlike the select few like Sybok, they don’t seem to be resentful that they were raised like that at all

This isn’t just something they’re all forced to do now to prevent their emotions from causing their species’ end, dedicating themselves to logic brought them inner peace
