Librarian on the rural Canadian prairies. Graying. Morbid curiosity is my hamartia. I keep most of the librarian stuff on @liprarian.

on the topic of americanism one of the most niche things that pissed me off when i used duolingo was when it was trying to teach me the words for school grades and would be like "okay translate 三年生 into english" and im like well okay i know thats third year. but the options its given me are fuckdamn sophmore senior freshman whatever. and i dont know which is the third one. and im STILL mad about it.
#americans i think you should invent six new ones every year and mandatorily cycle them out every semester#if you're gonna do it i want a really good Bit out of it#i think those people who write into those NYT invent a word contests would be great at it and we have to keep tiose kinds of people occupied

I do think the formula of having Situations come to her house is a winning one, so far?
Much later, the girl will dream of a house that has been contaminated by rotting lace, and she will dream of the lawyer, who was her secret champion.

i actually get a bit annoyed with people who get a bit annoyed when people say “sorry” in response to their bad news. “why are you apologizing you didn’t do anything :/” like okay well a) you don’t know that and actually yes i am the secret architect of all your woes and have been this whole time, way to refuse to acknowledge a woman (gender neutral)’s accomplishments. and b) we’re both fluent english speakers so you know perfectly well that “sorry” isn’t always an apology and is very commonly used as an expression of general regret or sympathy. not in this case, because i have been your secret nemesis for years, meticulously plotting your every misery, but, like, in general
#this conversation is easier in Canada#you say sorry they say “why are you apologizing”#you say “it was the not-admissible-in-court one”#and then you both move on

Garth Nix: This is my female main character! She's an awesome mage and fighter and necromancer, and she goes on a quest to fight a terrible Dead entity trying to destroy the world, and she's a little inexperienced but her quick wits and powerful talents save the day!
Also Garth Nix: This is my male main character. He's there too I guess
