I feel like murderers would be more respected in society if they murdered large mutated mega ants and not people. Room for thought for future murderers.

You laugh, but that’s the plot of hunter x hunter

Okay I just watched all 144 episodes to see if you were lying and you were not lying

Murderbot, a construct that was built and used to do extreme violence it’s entire existence : I hate talking to people but I will try to resolve this situation peacefully if I can, threats only make people panic and then they take irrational decisions. Extreme violence is sometimes unavoidable but last resort.

ART, a peaceful research transportation : I love talking to people because I can threaten them with extreme violence right off the bat and it makes them do what I want (ads more totally-not-weapons to it’s research equipment)

@lichtenbug you’re so right

In King Ludwig II’s defense, if I had basically infinite discretionary funds, was accountable to absolutely no one, and was king of a country full of picturesque landscapes, you couldn’t stop me from building myself a big gay fairytale castle on a mountaintop either.

This post is spreading and I feel bad about it because it contains misinformation, so for the record: Ludwig II did not in fact have infinite discretionary funds. He only acted as if he did. He never dipped into the public coffers for his building projects, but he spent his own fortune extravagantly and borrowed heavily from everyone he could think of. By 1885, the year before his death, he was 14 million marks in debt.

~ ✨✨ 14 million marks in debt ✨✨~

I always find this inspiring because try to name another prince of a German state. What did the rulers of Hamberg do? The Grand Duchy of Hesse? Gone with the wind, no one knows them anymore. But Mad Lad Ludwig built a top 5 most famous castle in the entire world. Money is fake, castles are real. Go broke and die like a winner.

Big reminder, folks, that many people, especially veteran writers, are locking their fics nowadays, which means if you don’t have an account, you can’t see the full library of AO3 and are missing out on a lot of good work. Please go sign up for an account! It’s well worth it, and you are missing out on a LOT by not having it.

I’ve got a few invites to give out (that’s how you get to sign up; it’s so people don’t spam the site) if anyone wants one.

I’m one of many of those locked-my-account writers and I (like many) have over a million words o’ story on AO3. Getcher self some of that locked goodness from writers who are going to be your absolute favorites.

Last year (or was it the year before…?) I locked down my (numerous pseudonymous) fics to keep them from being scraped/downloaded for feeding AI. Because seriously, I’ve already been scraped from enough, and ripped-off-from enough, for any one writer’s lifetime. And “my” AO3 stuff is, frankly, some of my best work. (Ironic, much, that I can’t publicly “own” it? Sure. But some things you give away, as repayment, or “paying it forward,” for what you’ve been given. Some day, the Feather on the other side of the Scales will make it all right.)

Want to read the stuff that not-Diane Duane-really’s many fellow writers-under-pseud are doing under lock? Then just request an invite from a favorite writer. If they’ve got invites to spare, they’re not gonna deny you.

ETA: (because I’ve had a couple of messages about this) Forgive me, folks, but I am not going to tell you what my pseuds are. That’s not info I give out—because, among other things, it brings to naught a significant reason why a published writer writes pseudonymously: to find out if anyone will read and like your work when they don’t know who you are.

I’ll willingly confess to having been seriously amused by comments on some of my fics that suggested the pseud was plainly a fan of mine and imitating my style: and even more amused by accusations that the pseud was ripping me off. …Let’s just think of these as (wry grin) occupational hazards—mistakes that anyone not in possession of all the facts might make—and move on, gently smiling. 😏

(I have yet to have what [if I’m getting this right] @seananmcguire’s apparently had—commenters who say the pseud writes better than the Writer of Name. Probably I should count myself lucky, as my response to this kind of thing is as yet untested—and as I get older, my Sudden Crankiness Quotient seems to be rising…)

Maintaining a diversity of ongoing personal projects is important because it enables you to procrastinate on one by aimlessly tinkering with another, thereby creating the possibility that you’ll finish one of them by accident.

while you are fantasizing about the us government suddenly collapsing and then getting rebuilt from the ground up could you please include a plan for how sick people are going to continue to receive life-saving biologic medicine that requires an intricate and continuous network of human parts, infrastructure, supplies, production, and distribution? I would like to not be killed off in your fantasy. thank you

That’s such a sick baby picture to have. The rest of us are all like “oh this is me tripping in the backyard when I was 2” and that baby’s gonna have “yeah that’s me in my mom’s arms as she wins a mortal Kombat tournament”. Iconic.

Girl help they’re selectively breeding the world’s most powerful Mortal Kombat player.
