I love all books but sometimes you read a book and you’re like so were all 21 thousand of you blindfolded and at gun point when you rated it 5 stars

On this day, the first of April, 2025, @spammichsammich and I have but a humble offering to present to you:

Eternal Devotion - in podfic form.

If you haven't read it yet, now is the time, folks.

This is not a prank. This is not a drill.

If you couldn't tell this part of their first meeting dialogue haunts me. The foreshadowing.....

old man gets bullied the series

he just looks so torture-able . like it would be a disservice NOT to torture him.. . he WANTS to be tortured

Bill Cipher concepts for a keychain?? (It is gonna be a connected keychain !!) I will sell it as soon as I confirm its fine (their arms might be breakable but idk)

It is gonna have Gold keychains / Key Rings cuz I felt that fit! :)

Inner emotions ❤️

“denied the catharsis of punishment” is an underappreciated but hugely effective narrative consequence imo 

I fucking hate seattle man. the liberals have built a living superstructure that towers over the city and covers the sky in rain and fog. I'm fuckin moving to the countryside

Look just because YOU can't handle the colossal superstructure that governs the weather and our lives doesn't give you the right to speak poorly of seattle. It's not the superstructure's fault you don't appreciate it's indifferent but seemingly malevolent mechanisms that cause the fog of the weather and the mind. If you want to move out so badly you would've done so by now. If I hear you say "I forgot" like everyone else who says they want to move away I'm gonna blow a gasket.

margaritaville, the song, and margaritaville, the restaurant and resort empire, fascinate me because the former seems to warn against the lifestyle that the latter perpetuates

“The old magic persists thanks to it’s unfathomable power.”

No, the old magic persists because the new magic can’t run the legacy spells I need to do my job, and keeps trying to install spirits I don’t want or need onto my orb.

Look, if the new magic didn't have a personality construct that kept trying to tell me which spells to use, maybe I wouldn't still be using the old magic.

Yes it had a deep blood cost, but at least it was a one time sacrifice and not this monthly bloodletting nonsense new age magic has

The old magic is robust enough to survive a decade of use and it's compatible with every wand, staff, scroll, and charm in our collection.

The new magic stops working after three days and every spell uses proprietary runes.

Our preferences, as an archiving institution, should be pretty clear.

You try to get guidance for the new magic and the king's sorcerers maybe will answer you in a few days with an unhelpful suggestion to buy the newest orb.

You need guidance for the old magic and a dozen retired middle-aged wizards will pop up to explain it to you rune by rune if necessary.
