Point of view: You are out at night with a thieves’ lantern, nowhere near the River Inn.

forgive me for making others think about this, but somebody has to take the bullet for society and ask this. Since Bruno can apparently eat despite being a android, where... where does the food go??

>be bruno

>eat food with 0 waste

>THIS MAN SIMPLY POSSESSES A 100% ENERGY EFFICIENT ANDROID BODY

@papabirdurskeks made a great headcanon I totally accepted

The aliens from the Katamari series all have very different head shapes but either way weird ones and are never seen without their "hats" because they contain their long hair inside

And it is very intimate for them to show it, only some strands can stick out but that's all

That's why the cousins have so many varied head shapes. Different hair dos under their hats

As for cousin Lalala who looks butt naked and bald but has this head shape, we decided she is not naked because that would be weird and just has flesh-colored attire and hat, hence why the tips of head are colored. And cousin Pu isn't naked too despite her navel, she just wears skinny clothes like her uncle, that alien species is okay with skinny but can't be naked either come on lmao

On a scale of Good Omens to Owl House, how fucked up is your crusty old British Witchfinder Army Wanna-Be dude?

Additional question

On a scale from Newton Pulsifer to Caleb/Hunter, how well does your Witchfinder treat their quasi adopted right hand man?

lewyn's dream visitor takes form in the shape of his dead lover btw. I keep forgetting to mention this. this is why lewyn despises the emperor — its not the fact it lied (lewyn lies all the time), it's the fact it exploited something so deep and vulnerable from their past and then played it off like it was for their own good.

most times during the events of bg3 he manages to stay level headed, with a bit of levity, but generally soft like the wind. but god. the emperor ... that reveal sent them FERAL. they were going to kill it and after leaving the Astral plane? they shut down and look for a corner to cry and scream into.

lewyn hates the emperor for exploiting the memory of the one person he's ever actually loved like that. he hates the emperor for lying by omission and manipulating them. there is no world that they don't go steal the hammer and break out Orpheus.

Chie shows Kanji a secret project of hers.

Later, Kanji tells Hisano about some research he did.

Lastly, the two aforementioned teens are given great news.

Sci-Fi Classics for the Uninitiated

I’ve read A LOT of old sci fi throughout the years and wanted to drop the ones here that are good reads, also distinguished by difficulty to get into.  So without further ado:

Victorian Era (fairly easy reads, just requires a bit of explanation for certain things pertaining to the times, so try to get an annotated copy)

The Food of the Gods by HG Wells --revolves around a growth formula that can turn chickens into the size of houses...A LOT funnier than I thought it’d be

The Invisible Man by HG Wells --takes a while to get going but goes fast once The Invisible Man starts his plan rolling

War of the Worlds by HG Wells --kinda dark with more involved than you typically see in the television/movie adaptions

The Island of Doctor Moreau by HG Wells --Scientist who makes crazy experiments on an island--warped and weird but I liked it

Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne --Adventuring uncle drags his anxious nephew on a trip to the earth’s core

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne --adventuring below the sea, feels more grounded since nothing too fantastical happens, but of course, the characters are on a giant sophisticated submarine so that’s the most sci fi part

“Golden Age” Era (bold ones are a little more heady)

The Foundation Trilogy: Foundation, Foundation and Empire, Second Foundation (also including Prelude to Foundation in here because it’s actually a really good prequel!) by Isaac Asimov --the books span several decades/centuries so don’t get too attached to any one character, save in Prelude which follows Hari Seldon and his journey into coming up with psychohistory

Caves of Steel by Isaac Asimov --fun sci fi whodunit--with robots!

Pebble in the Sky/The Currents of Space by Isaac Asimov --haven’t gotten to the third one in this trilogy yet but I liked these two!

The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury --short stories set on Mars that are more like fantasy/sci fi

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury --you probably read this in school...still a good book nevertheless

2001: A Space Odyssey by Arthur C. Clarke --I mean...kinda weird but I enjoyed it

2010: Odyssey Two by Arthur C. Clarke --if you liked 2001, you’ll like this since it expands on a few things, and it’s a little easier to get into with a bigger cast

The City and the Stars by Arthur C. Clarke --Utopian future story that’s pretty short and intriguing in regards to worldbuilding

Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C. Clarke --Crew explores an alien generation ship, not as high stakes as the Space Odyssey ones so it feels more like a sci fi Jules Verne

Dune/Dune Messiah/Children of Dune/God Emperor of Dune by Frank Herbert --first book takes some time to get into but goes quickly once you get to Arrakis; to be fair, the books get easier to read once you know the world and what’s going on!

Starship Troopers by Robert A. Heinlein --a little more philosophical than what you’d expect from a book about sci fi war
