the magus

my most right wing opinion is okawa shumei is a Rat. this is becuase you're in dangerous territory just having an opinion about okawa shumei

or verity who suddenly starts actually paying attention to his young nephew when he discovers responsibility

when we first meet shrewd he's canny, imperious, and in control but as his health declines and the kingdom unravels he becomes more vulnerable and human

one thing i like about this book is how much the other characters subtly change along with fitz even tho we aren't privy to their internal state. a rarity in genera fiction

this was the future they sent percy to stop

pioneering new frontiers in sneezing

can't belive our pure and noble intellect is connected to this nasty meat sack

following up a concussion with a cold wheee i love bodies

immediately followed by the fool showing off his ass, a move that has three documented fujoshi kills

the fool, looking ardently up at fitz, begging him to "consummate all from which you have refrained" (the plea that launched a thousand fics)

they killed google reader for this

his imperial majesty will note your lack of chujitsu (tl note: loyalty)

when you have to secretly touch the beloveds pillow "just to know if she's fevered"

it's hard to be this popular but somehow i manage my busy social schedule

also some mozart aka "lo fi beats for viennese aristocrats to gossip to"

got to see vivaldi's four seasons tonight and got a decent think in in between the headaches

that must have been the great psychic screech i heard

i was really struck be the sense that they use vocals almost as a rhythmic element, rather than being the sort of main event

i feel like i remembered the vibe pretty much perfectly but the details have fallen into place in interesting ways. certianly i now find both verity and burritch, ugh, "relatable"

important joke for exactly me and @katedollarhyde.bsky.social

lady patience? more like lady ADHD amirite lads???

(had to repost this again to fix a mortifying typo)

saw sun ra's arkestra tonight. i feel like live music is like eating vegetables--it takes a lot out of me to go and listen but when it's good the rewards are more than just transient sustenance

as a conservative i prefer the classic nobles, peasants, artisans and merchants

they did not but they paraded around the venue for their final number and everyone got to see the cool costumes
