That probably explains why I write magic the way I do.

Honestly, the fact that terry Pratchett has experience around nuclear power makes so much sense once you realize what magic is standing as a metaphor for in the discworld. Like, look at this fucking quote from going postal:

"That's why [magic] was left to wizards, who knew how to handle it safely. Not doing any magic at all was the chief task of wizards—not "not doing magic" because they couldn't do magic, but not doing magic when they could do and didn't. Any ignorant fool can fail to turn someone else into a frog. You have to be clever to refrain from doing it when you knew how easy it was. There were places in the world commemorating those times when wizards hadn't been quite as clever as that, and on many of them the grass would never grow again."

Like... It feels incredibly obvious what he's talking about once you know the context.

Get your boops everyone!!!

A paw of a black cat holding a knife and making a stabbing motion.

A paw of an orange cat holding a knife and making a stabbing motion.

A paw of a white cat holding a knife and making a stabbing motion.

I just put these together real quick feel free to use them.

Bluesky post by Annie Craton:
A month or so ago I saw a post by someone saying "we should all admit that Neil Gaiman has always been a shitty writer." That whole knee jerk revisionism. No, man, that's part of the whole horror. He's an internationally recognized writer. Objectively a good writer. But he's also a fucking monster.

We have to keep doing this. We have to do this with books and films and games and any meaningful media. Recognize that it's skillfully crafted, recognize the meaning it has to you, and do the terrible math of weighing it against who created it and what they have done.

This is a basic facet of media studies. How do you reconcile the reader's relationship with the work with the author's indelible fingerprints upon the work, and what else those fingers have done? There isn't, has never been, an easy answer. Ease simply does not factor into the equation

We have done this so many times with authors! Within living memory, even. Within this *century,* even. We are still doing a protracted version of this today with Rowling. You must do this work.

The perpetual usage of the "get out of complexity free" card by acting as though you alone have always been woke to this horror by saying that an award-winning, massively influential comic series was Actually Poorly Written is just the most dogshit cowardly move. Worse than "Hatsune Miku wrote this"

really i think the key difference between david tennant and peter capaldi as fans of the show they were in is that david tennant's childhood obsession shows through when he comes face to face with elisabeth sladen in school reunion with all the joy of someone who was in love with the show as a kid in the 70s. you know, like a normal person. (by doctor who standards.) whereas peter capaldi's childhood obsession shows through when he comes face to face with creepy mummy-like cybermen based off a partly-lost william hartnell serial which is deeply deeply disturbing on a psychological level with all the glee of someone who was disturbed on a psychological level by the show as a kid in the 60s

If you haven't yet, might I suggest:

@m-p-lebrush

I got the badge painted. I gotta find out which class to make and I gotta find out what color to paint the horns (horns painted). Anyone in general give me your thoughts
