MORE FANTASY BIRDS. Going for that eight-character rpg party feel

hey props to the people who do all the stuff for the dome

first the flowers and fireworks and backgrounds for acofaf, now the wild ink splotches and rain for Neverafter? they are doing a fantastic job

Had to draw Suvi from Worlds Beyond Number :)

Man I love every character Aabria plays, I just can't T_T

love how Brennan rolled up with Neverafter like “alright gang it’s the horror season time to explore the Depths Of Dread And Terror” and the most fucked up thing Murph could think of was “what if my wife left me”

birthday parties when all your friends are internet friends be like:

I love the patented Ally Beardsley Nat 20 Face

Followed immediately by Brennan’s patented God Dammit Ally face

Someone needs to make me gifs of every iteration of this exact moment throughout dimension 20, because its my favorite thing

at the end of an era

raise ur hand if you felt personally victimized by Travis playing a character with KIDS in an adventure that was going to ultimately culminate into an apocalypse event 😭👋

I've been scrolling through Glass Onion posts for days and I've never seen someone else see Derol as a personification of the pandemic when he carRIES AROUND CORONA BEERS all the time??

He's always like "oh don't mind me, I'm not even here", showing how those rich people on their private islands loved to act like the pandemic isn't real just because in their little rich people world they were able to act like it's all just a figment of others' imagination while people were literally dying

But no, they're not doing anything bad, they're only meeting up with their 'closest friends' (like Birdie's party in the beginning of the movie), they're isolating themselves from the 'general masses' in their huge, luxurious mansions and on their private islands and then make a show of singing Imagine💀

Derol is the ghost of corona floating over everyone's head which those people on this billionaire's little island have the luxury of ignoring

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.
