[ Reality Shatters ]

throwback to unsleeping city while neverafter doesn’t drop!

I cannot believe how down bad Brennan Lee Mulligan is for the funky little man.

He looks like the weird brother of a small town evangelical preacher.

next episode starts and it’s just a shot of all the minis laying on the ground for 2 and a half hours with the occasional cut to brennan staring at the camera in silence

Suvirin Kedberiket the greatest character to ever exist

look, I know I've talked about this essay (?) before but like,

If you ever needed a good demonstration of the quote "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic", have I got an exercise for you.

Somebody made a small article explaining the basics of atomic theory but it's written in Anglish. Anglish is basically a made-up version of English where they remove any elements (words, prefixes, etc) that were originally borrowed from romance languages like french and latin, as well as greek and other foreign loanwords, keeping only those of germanic origin.

What happens is an english which is for the most part intelligible, but since a lot everyday english, and especially the scientific vocabulary, has has heavy latin and greek influence, they have to make up new words from the existing germanic-english vocabulary. For me it kind of reads super viking-ey.

Anyway when you read this article on atomic theory, in Anglish called Uncleftish Beholding, you get this text which kind of reads like a fantasy novel. Like in my mind it feels like it recontextualizes advanced scientific concepts to explain it to a viking audience from ancient times.

Even though you're familiar with the scientific ideas, because it bypasses the normal language we use for these concepts, you get a chance to examine these ideas as if you were a visitor from another civilization - and guess what, it does feel like it's about magic. It has a mythical quality to it, like it feels like a book about magic written during viking times. For me this has the same vibe as reading deep magic lore from a Robert Jordan book.

a reunion

because emily axford described sofia lee as "basically like if fran drescher went on an amy winehouse bender" I HAD to draw her in some of my fav outfits from the nanny! also my sofia is chubby and if you don't like that you can go kick rocks
