(Note: The character talks like this solely because before the beginning of the story, he has been in exile and has not talked to any other living being for about... 2 decades or so, and is still remembering how words work.)

Is only good is not having reason. Little one hugs, no reason. Digger-mousie is giving name to nameless, say "Ed," no reason. Skin-painter paints skin of child, no reason. Just is."

"No, but evil is still being - is having reason - Being reasonable! Mousie understands? Is always being reason. Is punishing world for not being... Like in head. Is always reason. World should be different, is reason.

the definition of Evil I'd put up there with granny'sis:

"Evil is having reason, always, many and many. If hunter beats mate, has reason, always. Mate is lazy, burning food, is stupid, is speaking on and on. Is always being a reason."

"What? But Ed, those aren't good reasons!"

There's "Summer in Orcus", which I still need to *read* but have heard very good things about.

Then there's her YA stuff. I've only read "A Wizard's Guide To Defense Baking" but I'd put it up close to "Wee Free Men".

Characters include, among others, a wombat, a shadow-thing, and a completely inanimate statue of Ganesh
(which is VERY INSISTENT that it is only a statue of Ganesh, and not actually Ganesh.)
(LOOKS dynamic in conversation due to picking of angle and shadow, despite the fact that it's a statue)

She also have a complete webcomic called "Digger" that she
A) Won a hugo for, and B) has a definition of Evil that I'd put up there with Weatherwax's definition of Sin. (which I'll put at the end of this thread of posts)

"What Moves the Dead" (a take on 'The fall of the House of Usher'. With nonbinary protag!)

She has also sworn that she is never going to go "ohoho I have killed the protagonist's beloved dog to increase the stakes cheaply"

She writes Horror! She has been writing books that has been doing her own full-novel twists on older horror short-stories.
These include "The Hollow Places" (A take on 'The Willows'), The Twisted Ones (A take on 'The White People'), and

So, she writes a whole bunch of things!
There is her Paladins series (which starts with "Paladin's Grace", which I can best describe as "Imagine if Terry Pratchett wrote slow-burning romance with interesting characters. Okay, these are actually better than what you are imagining.")

I saw someone call it "Diddler on the roof".

sahilbajaj Sahil Bajaj's Portfolio

Hi Everybody,

My name is Sahil Bajaj and I am a Game Writer & Narrative Designer.

I've been in the industry for three years now and in that time, I've worked with teams like Veritable Joy and Sweet Baby Inc.

I recently updated my portfolio and am currently looking for work!

"For the love of God, Montresor!"

These fuckers think someone that's pregnant should have fewer rights *than a corpse* w/regard to use of blood, organs and tissue.

Also Jon you got Tate originally kicked off The Other Site for being a shithead when you were raising money to help your kid, I think you're gonna do fine!

... I do have a vivid memory of my mom just glancing up at my brother during dinner once, and saying
"Just as a note, when you put a towel in front of the door, it needs to be *wet* for that to work."

(He had tried it with a dry towel.)

It went "We don't want you smoking marijuana. .. Not because w think it's evil and will destroy your brains. Your father and I smoked in college. we quite enjoyed it! But the penalties are INSANE now (this was early 00's), and we don't want your life being destroyed by asinine laws."

As someone who's parents did that:

it def does help. Or at least did with my brother and I!

Also honesty was very helpful. When they gave my little brother and I The Drugs talk--

I make sure to repeatedly tell mine that they did, and that they did an incredible job.

(My brother has also joked "Sometimes I think our parents are the only ones out there that DIDN'T fuck up their kids--")

Holy fuck, given how rough things are here in Finland (oh wow, you mean Austerity doesn't work? WHO COULD HAVE GUESSED),
that's.

IMPRESSIVE.

(just asking BEFORe which of her books I start reccomending. XD)

... So are you familliar with Ursula Vernon/ T. Kingfisher ( @tkingfisher.com ) yet?

50 away from physical therapy, about 500-700 for glasses and glaucoma test and stuff

Thank you so much, I'm not really sure how to explain what I'm feeling. Relief is the big one, but also profound gratitude.

I'm about 800 away from my goal, 1000 away from not having to cancel physical therapy

... god, I wonder if you could get AWAY with that, actually----

I think the design doesn't go far enough!

To really drive things home about how he's friendly, though, he should also have two hands reaching out across the rising sun-crown-thing.

And two emphasize his support for both single people AND married couples, one of the hands should have a ring on it.

Incorrect.

I try really hard not to question other people's interiority, because that can lead some dark places.

But *holy shit*.

Though Doc had a better point--
