eursolon now has a +3 sword and an ambiguously magical shield. by all accounts he should not have these things at level 2. but he showed kindness to naram and naram let him keep his sword in thanks. he put thought and beauty into the shield and that was magic enough for it. it makes me a little crazy. eursolon showed the world kindness and the world was kind to him in turn. lou wilson you have ruined me.

Akwake Emezi’s Pet does this really well. Aiming to build a utopia will only make us complacent to the harm we didn’t anticipate. The work does not end and that is a good thing. That’s why we have to find joy and compassion in doing the work because it never goes away. 

There is no "after the revolution." No "ideal world." I don't care how much progress we make, we will always fail someone, hurt someone, and the best thing we can do is accept that, and keep striving to make it better as we go.

And don't get me wrong, I don't say this to discourage anyone from trying to make that ideal world. Quite the opposite.

I feel like it's very naive to continue to approach these big changes we want to make in the world as if there's an "after it's all over" when we don't have to worry about it anymore.

We should always be striving to make life better, even when life seems pretty damn good.

A County Affair is fucking great y’all.

Devil Goat? Check.

Chicken that fucked a pig? Check.

A sexy horse? Check.

(Lou Wilson characters are always sexy, I don’t make the rules. )

Worlds Beyond Number is wild because Brennan Lee Mulligan uses every ounce of his philosophic and empathetic learnings to create the most heartrending situations and scenes

Then, like an emotional devastation katamari, this fucker picks up THREE whole ass other people like him. Lou Wilson, who will make you cry while you’re in the middle of laughing. Aabria Iyengar, who is a fucking genius and dives full ass into her character’s flaws because your heart will die of a thousand cuts when it all hits. And Erika Ishii. At first blush, a bit of a clown, albeit a sultry one when they want to be. More than happy to play the fool. Lets you underestimate them, so you let them get close, and when you realize how deep you’re in it’s too late

So these FOUR chucklefucks, these four geniuses of humor and tragedy, hire a fucking Maestro of Sound Design in Taylor Moore to produce their home game. And everything is tighter. And even more immersive. And heartwrenching and hilarious and cozy and creepy.

Anyway, this team of FIVE people decide that they’re going to make one of the best podcasts currently airing and it’s only nine episodes in.

i’m like, 3 minutes into this week’s trw episode and aabria is killing me ALREADY. getting in between amangeaux and the door, karna’s instant refusal of amangeaux’s offer that she come with her, the “no. no! i’m not going to spend my life chasing you, hoping that you make enough right choices to keep me safe. happy. what is this? this is a TRANSACTION, and you’re welching on your end.” WOWOWOW
