i just finished deltarune chapter 4 and oh my god i love it so much. im being so serious when i say

No one wants to go through a character arc these days

Like Frodo and Sam have this massive climactic, exhausting final push to get to mount doom and then they accept death, and then everyone but the hobbits gets a send-off, and then… There’s like this weird little rebellion plotline and Saruman is being a weird low-stakes villain? Like Saruman feels like a cartoon villain in this, not in an overly evil way, but just his plan is stupid and lame and then he just gets kicked out and dies. The tone is really weird, 19 hobbits and 70 (!) men die, and no one really cares that much, and it just isn’t that important.

Thematically I guess it’s important to show that the old ways are truly gone, and even the Shire wasn’t safe from the war, but then it’s stated that the Shire immediately became a safe place again and pretty much went back to normal. So like what’s the point of this at all. Tbh it’s the only time in all three books that I’ve not enjoyed reading that much.

When I was in college I could barely read fiction. It took me about a year and a half to read the Fellowship of the Ring and the Two Towers

Over the past few days I finished the Two Towers, started and finished the Return of the King. I read most of the Return of the King today, about 300 pages. It feels so, so amazing to have my attention span back and being able to read again

Also the scouring of the shire is a weird chapter right? Like I’m not alone in thinking that it’s a weird final quest after the story has ended?

The resilience of the Palestinian people is truly inspirational

There’s an amazing vegan restaurant in Dublin called the Saucy Cow, and honestly I don’t know what alchemy they do there but the food is incredible. If you took a meat-eater and gave them a burger with cheese from this place they wouldn’t even know they were eating a vegan meal

Ooh yes that would be more than good enough, please do!

Please post about dinosaurs. If you made an ankylosaurus post I would love you forever

Happy homo gay transgender month.

Not my last, but yesterday I got bored and remembered I have a car and free will so I drove out to this beach to read my book

Woulda gone for a nude swim if I had thought to bring a towel

If ICE/cops are charged with some kind of token offense - it will be for entirely unimportant misdemeanors.

They’ll be charged with property damage because stray bullets broke some windows. Chuds will froth at the mouth and be outraged

Writing update: 1731 words today! Hell yeah

Damn, one of the people in my dnd group announced he has to leave because he’s too busy with work, and he probably won’t come back. Sad times. I got along really well with him, I’ll miss him. He wrote his character a really nice ending :(

Yeah it is. I did nearly 1300 today, which I’m really proud of, especially since I used to hit 200 and be tapped out

House MD has infected my brain. It is no longer safe to say the words “doctor”, “house”, “hospital”, “wilson”, “chase”, “foreman” or “medicine” around me

thank you! ive been really enjoying it, just hit the 2000 word mark for today so im gonna leave it there. i spent so long trying to craft the perfect story in my head before every putting anything to paper, and now im just vomiting out everything thats in my brain and loving it

I have officially hit the 10,000 word mark on my fantasy novel, which means I’m actually making a habit of writing. I’ve written 1600 words today and intend to keep going. I’m making actual plot outlines and character bios. I’m like a real writer hell yeah

Whenever Anglos are first exposed to the Irish language written down they’re always like “omg haha it’s so weird thats not how you should write those words”. FUCK OFF!!! ITS A DIFFERENT FUCKING LANGUAGE!!! It’s way more grammatically consistent than English, you just can’t read it because it’s a different language. There’s a million interviews where an American talk show host has an Irish person on and goes “haha Aoife, that’s a weird name! Haha Saoirse, that’s a weird name!” Fuck off fuck off fuck offfff

but you would have asked google a question five years ago. ai slop has made it unusable

Can someone else do the revolution I don’t really want yo
