Why does every microwave have a “popcorn” button but every popcorn bag says “DONT USE THE POPCORN BUTTON?” We went deeper than I thought possible getting the DEFINITIVE answer. Talked to the popcorn industry, the microwave industry. Even the inventor of popcorn sensing microwave technology.

Anyone up for a match at the #WoTtober Courtyard? #thewheeloftime #zuconart

I have learned that I, personally, am important to Amazon I have no idea when this happened but it must’ve been before they canceled wheel of time; I would’ve exerted my deep influence there when it counted. But Ryan told me Celeborn is going to be in s3 of RoP and I am the only one who cares

My father still makes fun of me for being terrified of the Ronald Reagan puppet in the Genesis “Land of Confusion” music video when I was three years old

Go on. Do it, open the fairy door. You'll be fine. That mad fairy queen can't treat you worse than your boss already does, and at least being her mortal plaything would be interesting.

Vainglorious of me to say but this audiobook slaps

I merely note that our neighbor also has a sick-ass dapper dracula on the porch behind the skellington

“we die like men” “but worldbuilding” This right here is why my book club is the best

I got some Platinum Chou Kuro and I am dithering over what nib to try it on. I’ve used Platinum Carbon Black in all manner of nibs both gold and steel without mishap so I’m not sure why I’m getting so anxious about Chou Kuro. YOLO, ima put it in a Pilot Prera and a Jinhao Shark and start scribblin

Man I have to go do grad school levels of research because I had a random thought “what if there’d been a ballot mishap and we had elected ABIGAIL Adams instead of John”

The Executioner is back, and frankly she's had enough of, well, just about everything. On pre-order: wizardstowerpress.co...

I have not been able to write for the past six days and my brain feels like a carbuncle

Happy #fanartfriday pls look at my evil babies #booksky! Stunning, tender and sad drawing of an imperial daydream by lyyzis_art - I absolutely love the rendering of Rae’s smile with beauty mark rising and Key’s focused attention!

Friend: I’m getting interested in fountain pens… Me: THEY’RE REALLY GREAT AND IN THIS ESSAY I WILL

the main reason i find fantasy lacking as a genre is that there is exactly one fantasy plot worth telling and we already got to it with Tolkien and it is "satan ran across the icy tundra, pursued by the giant spider who wanted to eat all his diamonds"

Today I recommended Julian May’s Pliocene Exile for a time travel rec request in the r/romantasy subreddit (I’m not THE DEVIL, I did caution it’s not a romance with an HEA or a main couple, I’m just saying several commenters would probably pick up Aiken or Marc’s vibes and go ham)

Another day, another long ass ridiculous morning trying to teach corgis that they cannot actually die of fomo

what’s a mob to a king what’s a king to a god what’s a god to an

i posted this when i originally painted it but it feels like it deserves a repost since i just finished s3. #iwtvtv #armand young man with stigmata, mixed media on canvas.

After listening to 48 minutes of I’m Afraid of Americans from the I’m Afraid of Americans EP: you know what I could go for? more I’m Afraid of Americans

My first choice is "zero billionaires," but if I can't have that I'll take "billionaires with night terrors of guillotines trying to buy off the public."

I have to work today, which is both cruel and ridiculous considering all the books I want to read and self-indulgent fanfics to write with beautiful inks

I got BOOKS for my birthday and a fluffy blanket to wrap up in whilst reading, my people know me well

Anyone who doubts the existence of infinity has never tried to clean all the ink out of a dried up fountain pen nib
