Someone From A Rural Area: I Grew Up Here, I Know Every Path, Every Tree In These Woods

Someone from a rural area: I grew up here, I know every path, every tree in these woods

Me: Wow, that’s so cool! I grew up in a city, I can’t even imagine being able to do that

Them: Hey, knowing all the streets in your neighbourhood is cool, too!

Me:

Me: *crosses the street to get to the shadowy side* *gets lost*

People are so stupid about snakes. If there's a little black racer chilling outside just leave it alone, you don't have to kill it, it's probably dealing with all your pests for you, jesus christ

Damn, this is such cool analysis, I don’t know what to say… I’m jealous. I want to study this. I wanna be able to do this. I wanna be able to use this on myself. I want to design character costumes like this. I don’t need more skill envy in my life, help

idle Jaskier-related notion:

Joey Batey is really approximately the same size and shape as Henry Cavill, and there are a number of clever techniques in pretty much all Jaskier's costumes to hide this fact and make him look about three or four inches narrower than he actually is. The costumers work really really hard to make him look that twinky, often with cleverly cut shoulder decorations that pretend he's trying to look bigger than he is and have the actual effect of making him look a lot lighter.

On a Doylistic level this makes sense, because it's hard to make Geralt look Huge and Imposing next to your non-combatant harmless sidekick if said sidekick is a jacked six foot burly man.

On a Watsonian level, however, the notion of Jaskier as this big meaty dude aggressively arguing with all his tailors to ensure that he looks as non threatening and foppish and entertaining as possible while also looking as sexy as he can (for a Jaskier definition of sexy, at least) is generating considerable entertainment for me this fine morning.

Aluminium is so cool, like, some dude saw it and thought "this is exactly what I need to make a flying machine that’s huge but not too heavy" and someone else was like "wouldn’t it be cool if I sliced it really thin and wrapped my breakfast in it instead of boring ol’ paper"

“People are inherently terrible” no!!! Have you ever seen a child wait for their friend while they tie their shoelaces? Have you ever known someone who would bring hurt squirrels and rabbits and mice to the nearest vet just so it doesn’t suffer? Have you seen someone grieve? Have you ever read something that hit your heart like a freight train? Have you looked at the stars and felt an unexplainable joy? Have you ever baked bread? Have you shared a meal with a friend? Have you not seen it? All the love? All the good? I know it’s hard to see sometimes, I know there’s pain everywhere. But look, there’s a child helping another up after a hard fall. Look, there’s someone giving their umbrella to a stranger. Look, there’s someone admiring the spring flowers. Look, there’s good, there’s good, there’s good. Look!!!!
