Taking an Amazon sponsorship over the holidays was such a hypocritical move for someone who preaches progressive values for Palestinians and the indie bookshops. Remember when he said, ‘You complain when I collect physical books, but now you’re mad I took a Kindle deal?’ Dude.
Urgh. Translated lit is having a major moment right now so that he slapped together a video with books he doesn’t read on the International Booker Prize to cash in the vibe. It wouldn’t be as annoying if he didn’t constantly act like some ground-breaking pioneer in BookTube.
Air genasi being mechanically weaker than their elemental cousins from an unlimited breath-holding that rarely comes up, and when it does water genasi do it ten times better with swim speeds and acid resistance. Is playing an air genasi druid optimal? Nope. Let me be weak.
From a pure min-max perspective an Air Genasi actually don’t boost Wisdom for casting and any physical stats they offer get overwritten the moment a Druid uses Wild Shape. By any means flavor over meta every single time (RE: What the hell am I doing).
And now is reaching Thursday already of course it'll be new campaign night, and a freshly made character. So excited to finally play a druid again—went with a Air Genasi just for fun and drew major inspiration from The Ashari.
@nightsfiction SO INCREDIBLY FUN. It's just that you recommend books for people that are based on what you had in your library for your bookshop to sell, comforting and cozy type of game. YOU DEFINITELY had to play it.
Wrapping up this Thursday by spending the entire day running Tiny Bookshop and living out my humble librarian dreams doing absolutely nothing else and honestly? It's been perfection.
And every man whose reign ends in downfall is doomed the moment they have a thought to slaughter a white hart. Viserys and Robert share that exact parallel as their reigns both failed due to the bloodshed they caused within their own families leaving their thrones to crumble.
when viserys’s political party was desperately searching for the white stag to validate aegon’s claim and yet failed, just for it to show itself in front of rhaenyra. she was chosen by the gods, by the king and by the people.
Even though people might get slightly annoyed with me for recommending books that stray from what they asked--for even though it technically is what they asked for. Like WDYM you wanted a historical non-fiction book but The Library Book isn't your vibe.
@TaintedPalm I even had that book signed by Her Majesty herself (sorry, I had to flex). Oh, please enjoy your reading! I've read The Vegetarian and had an absolute blast with it. I have a huge reading list right now, but one book I always keep by my bed is this children's book.
@OfNemesys Better late than never as they say. Please don't apologize at all—it's understandable as you've been swamped with tasks. I spent yesterday getting things ready for today's game night. How is your day treating you?
@TheSerpens It was about a year ago, I think.. and the movie adaptation for the Haymitch prequel is coming up in 2027 or maybe early 2028 also the cast has been announced if you want to check it out. I haven't read the book yet, just looked it up. How's your reading going besides #crying?
Everyone is so comfortable nowadays by buying and consuming things that fund Israeli and American weapons taking Palestinian lives, dropping the boycott as if those lives don’t matter. People are fucking dying and you’re trading their safety for a chicken nugget.
