wizards thinking of clerics as hacks cause we spent years of study learning the secrets of the universe they cheated and got a god to do their magic for them
clerics thinking of wizards as hacks cause we spent years serving and cultivating a deeply personal relationship with a god they copied down some cheat codes to make stuff blow up

After months of research and development and market testing and perfecting the first item I feel confident selling online, I have realized... that it is an incredibly niche item that only a specific subset of absolute nerds would want to buy, and I will have to do a ton of explaining the basic idea over and over again before people generally get what it is I'm even selling. RIP me
Long story short: I'm selling embroidery patterns. You stick them on fabric, embroider them, and wash the pattern away to leave your embroidery shining in solitary splendour.
Long story long... here goes.
omfg I was watching this sound off but then I was like "wait what if they're making cute lil animal noises" so I turned the sound on and fucking lost it
saw the new Barbie trailer and had to do it to 'em
I love the Discworld books for a lot of reasons: the characters, the humour, and most of all the words. I’m keeping it simple on this glorious 25th of May and designing a scarf that is almost entirely Pterry’s words, with just a little bit of pattern thrown in.
If/when I knit it, I’ll use the double knitting technique with 3.25mm needles and dk weight yarn. However, I have other favourite words to design layouts for first, so I can pick my favourite!
the funniest part of night watch is vetinari’s off screen adventure
See how they rise up! Wishing you all Truth, Justice, Freedom, Reasonably Priced Love, and a Hard Boiled Egg.

Who wants to see a pug mix dog that scared me
Terrific

No. This is a still life

As I get older I find reading classics (especially the stoics) very humbling because old farts have been bitching and moaning the exact same rant about kids these days for as long as there have been kids or days to bitch about. Whenever I get mad about tiktok audios or whatever that little voice in my head is like "Do you wanna end up like Cato? You sound real Cato right now"
i wish i was one of those girls from classical mythology……. i could just turn into a cypress tree or a crystalline lake and be done with it
“It is extraordinary that nobody nowadays under the stress of great troubles is turned into stone or a bird or a tree or some inanimate object; they used to undergo such metamorphoses in ancient times (or so they say), though whether that is myth or a true story I know not. Maybe it would be better to change one’s nature into something that lacks all feeling, rather than be so sensitive to evil. Had that been possible, these calamities would in all probability have turned me to stone.” ― Anna Comnena, The Alexiad, written ca. 1148
