woke up this morning, from the strangest dream

Recovering academic. Well over 18. Blacklist srs bsns to avoid real-world seriousness. More details here.

Why is everyone in the world except me unable to figure out the optimal way to load a dishwasher, this is such a burden. I don’t want to be a dishtator but I can’t allow a variety of opinions when it just makes SENSE for wine glasses to be over here where the tray is deeper. You put a small leg-less glass there you’re going to run into problems later can’t you see that?? no long-term vision. No sense of greater strategy, but you can’t live in the moment while loading dishes. You know when fairytale princesses don’t want to marry and give would-be suitors impossible trials, well that would be a good one. I shall plight my troth to the first person who can load an entire dishwasher without doing anything preposterous

The terrible Gollum game is only the beginning, folks. The Hobbit enters the US public domain in just a little less than ten years, so the current rights-holders are going to be trying to squeeze every last bit of profit they can out of the little fucker before he becomes free to use. You have no idea what's coming.

I can never reblog that one post that's like "what fictional food did you desperately want to eat as a child " bc I had this dinosaur book as a kid and in the book there was this illustration of a T. Rex eviscerating a Triceratops and feasting on its remains and it looked like it was having such a good time with the triceratops carcass that I would have traded anything to be that T. Rex. And I can't just add that to a random stranger's post

I see how it is you can all post about cannibalism and blood drinking and it's cool it's normal it's ENCOURAGED even but I say I wanted to indulge in the absolute carnage of felling a 26,000 lb horned beast with my hands and then feasting upon the spoils of my victory as a child and suddenly IM the weird one

Everyone says they want a weirdgirl who is hot and strange and off-putting and then she says she's harboring a secret desire to be a Mesozoic superpredator from the late cretaceous and you all switch up REALLL fast

L/light is the funniest fucking pairing in the world bc it is so embarrassing for both of them like light is gripping the bathroom sink & crying like ‘he’s not even cute i don’t even like all his weird bullshit and cutting remarks and genius deductions and the way he knows me better than myself i’m straight i am straight’ meanwhile L meets a hot guy who is kind of obsessed with him and can keep up with his mind games and he’s just like shrug. he’s PROBABLY a serial killer but literally what else am i doing

downside: going to have to include a picture of the Giza pyramids in the slides for the lecture upside: i get to give people a crash course in why perspective matters in two frames, because

followed by

is such a funny sequence

i find most people who haven't seen it in person don't know that cairo is RIGHT THERE

I loved these perspectives so I took some of my own when I was in Cairo and yeah, they're literally just. Right there. Pass em on your way to work, nbd

No, y'all don't even understand.

There is literally a Pizza Hut across the street from the pyramids.

That Pizza Hut among other things is why Egyptologists laugh their asses off when we see another piece of media where the protagonists get "lost in the desert near the pyramids", because it's like... just turn around my dudes you're only a seven min walk away from the nearest fastfood shop

Yall don't know how much I adore all of this

at this point i genuinely hope she hasn’t read them.

like.

that is the GOOD option here. the PREFERABLE option is the one where the showrunner hasn’t read the books.

(i have not read them either, but i’m not the one ADAPTING THEM TO A TV SHOW).

ffs woman.

Have y’all ever considered that maybe they’re just not gonna bring that plot point into the show. Doesn’t that seem just slightly more feasible than the idea that she just hasn’t read the books. Like aren’t we tired of saying the same dumb shit over and over again. 

The show is already so wildly different from the books why are we still harping on this. 

I thought it was pretty clear at the end of season 2, when Emhyr acknowledged that Ciri is his daughter in front of a room full of soldiers, that the Netflix show was dropping the whole "he wants to marry and impregnate her" part of the plot?

I mean, he took great pains in the books to conceal his former identity as Duny precisely so that nobody would know Ciri was his biological daughter, so that he could get away with marrying her...

want to be clear that if i ever talk about a headcanon and then later discuss a headcanon that is directly contradictory to the first one, that’s because headcanons exist in a quantum state where they are all simultaneously true and not true up until the point where i discuss it in detail, in which case that is the one that is true in that instance. schroedinger’s headcanons
