petition to rename the usa ‘south canada’
i’m also ace and while i get where you’re coming from with not grouping queer ppl in with ppl who may be oppressors, you are entirely missing the point here. the word allosexual contains absolutely no connotation that the person you are calling allo is an oppressor, and also your distinction of all queer ppl as allies and all cishets as oppressors is stupid. i’ve had cishet friends who were incredibly supportive of my asexuality, and i’ve also known queer people who were aphobic. you’re joining the idiots who call simple descriptors like cis and allo slurs for no reason and also creating unnecessary conflict where it doesn’t actually exist
as an entire queer trans allosexual i think it's weird when other allosexuals don't like the term allosexual for themselves. it just means not asexual. smacks of cis people who scream and howl and pee their pants about being called cis
i think it’s also kinda implied that the highstorms have a huge effect on height/stature, bc the alethi, who live closest to the origin, have the tallest average height on roshar, while the shin, who are completely sheltered, have the shortest average height
I hadn't quite noticed just how tall Kaladin is supposed to be until it was mentioned here. I'm noticing it now that I'm looking for it in this read through. [Redacted] in The Sunlit Man is tall compared to the people on Canticle, but short compared to the Alethi. How fuckin tall is Kaladin? Is he a Chara sized 20 year old?
More importantly...is he taller than Rock? Rock is bulky and overall bigger, but IS HE TALLER?? I DO NOT KNOW!?
Idea:
okay so i just finished Plain Bad Heroines, and i had an idea for a movie adaptation of it that’s incredibly infeasible, but would be the weirdest most layered meta shit ever (spoilers for the book under the cut)
okay so i think the way to go about an adaptation for maximum chaos/confusion would be to adapt Merritt’s novel she writes about the production of the Happenings at Brookhants movie, because now you’re adapting a fake novel made about a parody of a fake movie (bc she changed the names for plausible deniability) which itself was a meta movie about the filming of a cursed movie, all of which is contained within the pages of an actual fiction novel. so now you have a movie about a movie which is actually two separate movies which are going to be stitched together into one movie, none of which is real. then to make it extra confusing and meta, the end credits pan out to reveal all of this movie you just watched was playing in a theater, empty except for three girls sharing a bucket of popcorn. when the lights in the theater come on, you see that they look suspiciously similar to the three main protagonists of the movie you just watched.
i am an unfortunate victim of this. my notifications have not stopped in the 20 minutes since you reblogged my post

disney employees are starting a full week of walkouts leading to their big walkout on march 22nd, 2022. they’ve asked people to not use disney products during this week. (no disney+, hulu, espn, playing games, watching videos, reviewing/blogging about any of their IP, no going to the parks). this is a targeted and timed action you can concretely participate in.
they’re asking people to also support by using those hashtags and to sign their petition in solidarity.
do me a solid and just reblog this saying what time it is where you are and what you’re thinking about in the tags.
something something if i had a nickel for every time the original mistborn trilogy set up an almost love triangle that was never actually a love triangle which Vin promptly solved with murder i’d have two nickels
The funniest love triangle in fiction happened in The Well of Ascension, the second Mistborn book, where Zane was like "[insert evil laugh here] I'm gonna torture my half-brother by making his girlfriend fall in love with me and force her to choose between us". Meanwhile Vin is just living her life and dealing with plot stuff and never gives any indication of harboring the barest romantic or even platonic feeling towards Zane, and when he finally makes his offer she's like "what the fuck dude of course I'm not picking you". The third point of the non-existent triangle, Elend, remains blissfully unaware of any all these events (including that he has a half-brother) because he's too busy dealing with other plot stuff. Anyway, kudos to Zane for inventing clowns in Scadrial
