I love the character of Astarion from Baldur's Gate 3. He's truly the character ever because he's every single vampire trope at once but they all cancel each other out.

Like, he only drinks animal blood but not because he doesn't want to hurt people, he's just never been allowed before. He hurts people all the time, it's one of his favorite things to do. He acts drunk after drinking a bear's blood because it kicked the shit out of him first. He's 200+ years old and still lvl 1. He's foppish and high class but has been eating rats and bugs in a crypt for 200 years. He can go out in sunlight and gets sad if he's underground because he misses the sun. He lies all the time but he's a terrible liar so it's always super obvious. He's brooding but also whiny. He has no reflection but mostly is just sad about it because he misses petty vanity. He's suave but his sense of humor is essentially "man slips on banana peel" and he'd lose his mind laughing at basically any Money Python Sketch. He's so extremely, powerfully bisexual.

I'm deeply in love with him.

Is... there a way to get rid of all of the spambot follows? It’s multiple a day at this point!

in the latest cyber-news: the internet archive has lost their case against 4 major publishing houses (verge article). they’re going to appeal, but this is still a bad outcome. the fate of the internet is currently hanging in the balance because 4 multibillionare publishing groups missed out on like $15 of combined revenue during the pandemic because of the archive’s online library service. it’s so fucking stupid.

for those who don’t know what the internet archive is, it’s a virtual library full of media. books, magazines, recordings, visuals, flash games, websites - a lot of these things either don’t exist anymore or cannot be found & bought. heard of the wayback machine? that’s part of the internet archive. it is the most important website to exist, and i don’t say that lightly. if the internet archive goes down, the cultural loss will be immeasurable.

so how can you help?

boycott the publishing companies involved in this. they’re absolute ghouls, frankly, and don’t deserve a penny. the companies involved are harpercollins (imprints), wiley (imprints), penguin random house llc (imprints), and hachette book group (imprints). make sure the websites are set to your location as it may differ worldwide.

learn to torrent. download a torrent client (i recommend transmission), a vpn (i recommend protonvpn - sign up and choose the area that’s closest to your continent/country), and hit up /r/piracy on reddit for websites. with torrenting, you can get (almost) any media you want for free in high quality, with add-ons such as subtitles, and with no risks of loss. i would also recommend getting into the habit of watching stuff online for free. the less you can pay to a giant corporation, the better.

get into the habit of downloading and archiving materials. find a TB external hard drive, ideally the higher the better. it’ll probably cost around $60 for 1TB and continue to go up, but they’re so so useful. if you can’t afford a drive, look for any GB harddrives or memory sticks you have lying around and just fill them up. videos, pdfs, magazines, songs, movies, games - anything you can rip and download and fit on there, do it, because nothing is permanent.

donate to the internet archive. this is the most important option on the list. the IA relies entirely on funding, and it’s going to need more to fight this case. whatever you can donate, do it. i promise it’s helpful.

and finally…

Saw Spiderverse earlier and can’t stop thinking about it. I understand now.

i am so sorry to twitter folks for the absolute state of this account right now i have NOT had time to find a theme
