What I say: hahaha free Rincewind from The Plot he doesn’t want to be here give him a break!!

What I mean: you don’t uNDERSTAND he has a SENTIENT ELDRITCH SPELL IN HIS HEAD AND IT IS POSSESSING HIM A LITTLE BIT. a Nd the point is that what the octavo TOOK FROM HIM wasn’t talent, it was the ability to try at all, even badly!!!!!!! and that’s WORSE!!!!!! that’s worse!!!!!! you see how that’s worse!!!!!!!! It’s noT ABOUT whether Rincewind would ever have been good at magic, it’s about the fact that something CHOSE HIM and now he never gets to find out for himself who he could’ve been without it!!!!!! he doesn’t GET to try he doesn’t GET to learn!!!!!!!!! He doesn’t get to find out!!!!!!! That’s the point that’s the point there is a sentient eldritch spellbook and it is Speaking To Him Inside His Brain and because it decided it wanted Rincewind, there’s an entire person Rincewind COULD HAVE BEEN THAT HE JUST DOESN’T EVER GET TO LEARN ABOUT. And that’s WORSE than if it had just taken talent in general, but it‘s especially worse for RINCEWIND, who Isn’t a wizard because he’s good at it, but because he wanted to try!!!! He wanted to learn!!!!!!!! And now that isn’t an option at all and it TOOK that from him!!!!!! And it’s even possessing him a little and his first instinct was to sass it for not being able remember how the universe began. everytime i think about him for 0.2 seconds i need to scream, throw up, hurl myself through the nearest wall, and possibly die of consumption. Roughly In That Order.

Scott's Best Man Speech

Scott: Now Derek once told me we were now Brothers. I didn't know at the time but he was very serious. Even went as far as to make it legally binding.

Leo being put into a situation where there is absolutely no fighting, just verbal manipulation and perception games, would be amazing to witness. We see a lot in the series how good he is at subterfuge and how he uses his perception to manipulate to great effect, so it’d be so cool to really see it put to the test even more.

Manipulation is one of the most effective tactical strategies of all time, so just imagine Leo putting this skillset of his to the full test. Imagine the boys slowly get up to busting bigger and more powerful criminals, including those with networks of crime under their belt, and a simple fight isn’t enough to take them down. For criminals like this, Leo’s skills in subterfuge would be deadly.

god… new timeline mitsuba looking at dead mitsuba and supernatural mitsuba and being so sure that those are both the real mitsubas… feels like such an echo of supernatural mitsuba watching alive mitsuba in picture perfect... which feels like such an echo of alive mitsuba trying to be a person who will be seen and loved, who will make friends, even if that wasn’t his real self... only to realize as a ghost that his real, genuine self was already a person that someone out there could befriend and love. is there any version of mitsuba who’s not chasing some other version of himself? mitsuba is remade over and over, each time looking back at the previous version of himself and going oh, he was real.

Actually no my hottest Redwall take is that there needed to be at least one book where a mole was the protagonist.

And I don't CARE that the mole speech would get AGONIZING over a whole book, give that mole an accent or something like Buckler Kordyne.

Where is our mole protag.

The newest thing I've been trying to learn is woodburning, and because I am cheap and impatient, I ha e been freehanding my lettering instead of using stamps or stencils.

Which means it's a little unpolished, but hey. I'm a newbie.

steve did not bully eddie in "the past" steve was a grade below him for 3 out of 4 years of his high school career freshman steve heard this weird loudass sophomore talking w his friends at 100 decibels in the hallway about fighting elves in the woods or something (steve did not know what larping was nor care to find out) and then he went to class bc are you insane hes not fucking w a sophomore you dont normally fuck w people ahead of your grade especially if they yell at people and wear chains and get into fights in the woods (with elves?) and you dont even have classes w them. you dont even care much about them in the first place beyond passing gossip like HAVE YOU GUYS EVER BEEN IN HIGH SCHOOL. sorry. anyway.

then steve keeps catching this guy in his periphery over the next two years shouting about board games and controversial food opinions and metal bands that steve likes a few songs from but could not ever imagine giving that much of a shit about. like at all. and by (steve's) year 3 the motherfucker is bouncing off the walls giving speeches about what the hell ever and saying he cant fucking WAIT to get out of this FUCKED UP PLACE!!!! YEP ITS TRUE IN LESS THAN ONE MEASLY YEAR ILL BE SAYING MY SWEET SWEET GOODBYES TO THIS BRAINLESS CONFORMIST PRISON!!!! and hardly anyone reacts beyond rolling their eyes or snickering to their friends about it and this includes steve because who cares literally who cares. this guys been causing a ruckus since the beginning of time and hes weird and unpredictable and not worth trying to shove in a locker he would probably evade the attack anyway like a nimble mouse or squirrel he might even try to bite you. and steve didnt shove anybody in lockers in the first place so who cares and yeah he has pretty eyes and a funny way of talking and moving around but WHO CARES

and then steve goes through the first round of nightmarish shit that would become a yearly ordeal and then wraps up junior year in a perfectly normal not haunted whatsoever fashion. and then hes a senior and in his subtly cringefail era (ongoing) and that freak guy is STILL HERE for some reason and kinda pissed off and possibly a bit devastated about it so okay great now steve has a few classes with this angry weirdo loudguy but. crucially. he has had a lot of OTHER SHIT to deal with lately (MONSTERS ARE REAL) (GIRL DIED IN HIS POOL) (GF RESENTS HIM) (HAS NO FRIENDS) (COLLEGE APPS) so the only effect eddie's constantly loudmouthed & often unwarranted input during class ever has is that it adds a little flavor to the constant metaphorical and literal headache of steves life.

and then he goes through round 2 of shit and finishes his senior year with little hope for a satisfying future ahead of him and never once thinks about that guy again except when his fellow grads whisper about oh my godd did you hear that the freak flunked out again hahaha and yep sure enough eddie's not there at the graduation ceremony. and he thinks huh i wonder what his fucking problem is and then he MOVES ON. the end. thats the extent of """their past""" at least in terms of any actual interactions btwn the two of them i promise okay listen to me. i was there

The Iranian regime is maybe collapsing for real but I can't tell what's going on and neither can anyone else because the government shut down the entire country's internet 100%. Idk if there's ever been such a huge moment for global geopolitics and the direction of the world that's been such an information void for this long. At least in the modern era.

Today in Argentina, we had a protest against the president Javier Milei, for his fascist, misogynistic, and homophobic speech at Davos.

His goverment had stated a few days ago that they plan to ban the "femicide" crime under the law (meaning that crimes against women would not be recognized under the law anymore), would reduce the job opportunities for trans people in public and private spaces, would stop sex education in schools (because they believe it leads to sexual abuses instead of preventing them), and cut short on DEI policies.

This is very important for the world to see. Alt right is getting more and more prominent globally. But we will not stay quiet.
