Pretenders to the Throne Gilead du Carbennic was born to be a weapon. But not just any weapon; a Knight of the Round Table, slaying monsters and villains in the name of King Arthur.

I have a new web serial coming out, btw. Second chapter just dropped, it's a queer isekai with a twist: the protagonist, Gilead du Carbennic, is one of the Knights of the Round Table, resurrected in a pocket dimension mishmash of other realities.

I'll be sure to leave some beef jerky on your grave

Any day now I'm finally gonna start reading Flower of the Underworld (I have the pdf open in a tab I just need to have the time) and I realize when I do I could probably make a hell of a liveread thread about it.

You know there's something to be said for making use of my physics degree to draw out more interesting technobabble. Like talking about a plasma cannon and going "yeah so the force field envelope is aerodynamic because it has a source node and a sink node submerged in the plasma..."

Instructions unclear, made a GO OC who’s an anthro dragon

The one review of this movie that I watched opens with the phrase “James Sunderland smokes a blunt” and that phrase made me laugh so hard that I forgot how to breathe.

Still reading the book about the history of reactions to Circe, and the author and I are diverging once again, this time about the Renaissance image of Circe as horny and man-destroying. She wants Circe to be wholesome and egalitarian, I think that's fucking awesome.

It was really funny how they saw that criticism of the first game so in the sequel the NYPD simply do not exist.

Why does talking about the evils of the prison system make talking about the evils of the military hypocritical?

The establishment is against DIY HRT in spite of safety because "becoming a woman" is the greatest health risk of all to most people

The thing that has always helped me immensely when writing love interests is "so what does she see in the protag".

Oh great it's Filip Zieba

Becoming deranged thinking about how fundamentally bizarre the concept of free atmospheric oxygen is. Cars are powered by energy acquired from the air.

On the contrary, me and the guy I sit next to in class have concluded that God simply hates physicists and every single particle is a miniaturized Tower of Babel

Danny devito in always sunny stating "you would have to be a real low life piece of shit to be proud to be an American."

Well if nothing else I'm definitely adding the existence of Elysium pro wrestling to my fic, that seems like the kind of thing my OC would be into

Starting to think that a government that finds universal healthcare impossible but can go to war with the middle east four times in my life might be bad

You’re not gonna *believe* who gets cited by name repeatedly in this book

I hope we lose. I hope we lose so bad it makes Afghanistan look like a fucking triumph of unadulterated brilliance.

The problem is that I'm ideologically for games made by perverts, but so often they're the boring kind of pervert. We need games made by the interesting kind of pervert instead.

It is useful, but a lot of the time it can be unhelpful, especially if you're concerned about worldbuilding details.

This is probably what I'm going to have to do before I start writing [name pending] and that scares me

Me one chapter earlier

Transformations of Circe, by Judith Yarnall. It's from the 90s, so it might be tricky to find. Amazon had only six copies left when I bought mine. I don't really recommend it, it's all a bunch of second-wave "before the patriarchy came everyone was feminist and worshipped the Great Goddess" tripe!

She's starting from a reasonable point (the Circe episode depicts Circe as a powerful and independent goddess who Odysseus must learn from, not as an evil seductress) and extrapolating this out to "Homer wasn't misogynistic"
