since mrs, ms, and mr are all descended from the latin word magister, i propose the gender neutral version should be mg, short for "mage"

hot take: 

Gloin is the sexiest dwarf by dwarf standards.

Kili is the sexiest dwarf by elf standards.

Thorin is the sexiest dwarf by human standards

& Bombur is the sexiest dwarf by hobbit standards

#ITS TRUE AND YOU SHOULD SAY IT #(ALSO THORIN AND KILI BEING ‘UGLY’ BY DWARF STANDARDS IS AMUSING CONTENT)

further take: Kili is straight-up ugly by dwarf standards. Thorin is like, the dwarf equivalent of Benedict Cumberbatch. Some dwarves think he’s an absolutely dreamboat, others think he is super weird looking, there’s very little middle ground.

"two bodyguards drag me away" has been my fav way to finish insane sentences, its up there with "who said that", "can anyone hear me", "is this thing on" and "its so dark in here"

One of the best writing advice I have gotten in all the months I have been writing is "if you can't go anywhere from a sentence, the problem isn't in you, it's in the last sentence." and I'm mad because it works so well and barely anyone talks about it. If you're stuck at a line, go back. Backspace those last two lines and write it from another angle or take it to some other route. You're stuck because you thought up to that exact sentence and nothing after that. Well, delete that sentence, make your brain think because the dead end is gone. It has worked wonders for me for so long it's unreal

I don't remember where I heard this now, but I absorbed the advice, "if you're stuck, count ten sentences back and start again from there". It's not always ten sentences back, for me, but it does force me to look at the last handful of lines I've actually written on a sentence instead of a story level, and that is eminently helpful in unsticking myself most of the time.

I recently resolved a point where I'd been stuck for months not by changing anything in the scene I was currently writing, but by realizing I needed to add another scene before that one to establish key information I couldn't work into the current one

This was shared as a "bad" joke but I was so charmed by it I've been thinking about it for days.

People have been bringing up how Laios probably appreciates Marcille being direct about her emotions. I would like to add my take on what Marcille appreciates about Laios.

Marcille is fucking crazy. Her first solution to any problem is to cast Blow Its Head Off, her second solution if that didnt work is to rocket jump away (Undine) or rocket jump Laios into it (Red Dragon). Laios' reaction to being revived for the first time was being traumatized by and scared of living armor for a while. The first time Marcille gets drowned and comes back her reaction is "holy smokes!! this is just like what i studied in grad school!!! Do you have a spot in your party?" Then theres the infamous "hey Laios, would you mind if I blaspheme against nature by using a dark blood ritual to bring my girlfriend back to life by reconstructing her out of the carcass of the beast that killed her"

And you know what? Laios doesnt go "wtf thats taboo." He goes: "Okay! Lets sort the bones 👍"

Marcille is fucking insane and while she would never admit to it im sure she appreciates the touden sibling for their ability to look past her unhingedness because theyre also unhinged.

Someone hurry up and get directX working 100% on Linux.

Some good news. 1, it’s being slow rolled out at the moment. 2, it’s reportedly really easy to turn off.

I have also seen that it's (at least for now) exclusively for Copilot + PCs... but we all know tech. I don't trust that.

Just keep an eye on your settings and do what you can.

Candace Hicks: "Notes of String Theory" (2022)

Daily reminder that we do not actually live in a dystopian movie put the apocalypse down and back away slowly. You know when your cleaning a room and you pull everything out of it's draws to sort through it and you're like "what the fuck have I done I'm never going to be able to tidy all of this" I think that's the stage we're at in the world. Thanks to social media we've pulled out all the messed up shit from the cupboards of the world, it was always there but now we can see it and we're going to have to sort it all out we made this mess and we can fix it. Falling to the floor sobbing will not clean a crusty room. A group of people working systematically (preferably with music in the background) will.

Been going deeper and deeper into hopelessness lately. (Well, I say "lately". I mean "the last 3-4 years") This is... a little light in the darkness. Yes.
