Everyone shits on elf metal. Just because dwarf metal (GRANITE FORGE, UNDERBEARD) and orc metal (URROSH GROGAG, TUSK) are widely renowned and pioneers of the genre and style as a whole doesnt mean we all need to collectively bash LAST KING ELIANDOR'S DIRGE FOR THE FALLEN LEAVES PARTS IX-XXII
I still think it’s really funny Shallan called Jasnah’s back alley field trip the worst day of her life. Shallan, the character whose entire thing is having several Worst Days of Her Life.
The Way of Kings just crushed my girlfriend's box of sex toys under its sheer weight
Would you like a Purple Magna Orb or a Purple Magna Orb or how about a Purple Magna Orb?? Or would you like the fourth Purple Magna Orb I grabbed off the ground in the middle of the hunt???
Would You Like An Orb
genuinely, I have friends who don't play dnd and try to ask me questions about the lore, and I have to say I don't know slash it depends who's making it up at the time.
like yes canon exists but of the four games I'm currently in two of the settings are totally homebrewed, one borrows from the forgotten realms canon but with heavy "I do what I want" customization, and the one that's canon is eberron so forgotten realms rules don't apply. we just met a perfectly nice white dragon. he carried me around in a toboggan.
I wanna know more about the red dragons the githyanki ride.
So they're gifted as part of the agreement between Vlaakith and Tiamat, right? But dragons are sapient creatures in dnd.
Are they full participants in the arrangement? Do they gain something ny serving as mounts to the githyanki?
Or are they fully subservient to Tiamat and don't have a choice? If so, do they chafe under their servitude, or are they pleased to serve their mistress?
idk, I know red dragons are evil so the answer is probably that nobody thought about it much because who cares, but I'm super curious how they feel about being glorified carriages to a bunch of astral assholes
I’ve only got three possible reactions to watching a TOS episode:
“I can’t believe this aired” (the worst plot you’ve ever seen on tv)
“I can’t believe this aired” (a piece of media so beyond its time and still relevant to today’s discussions, that I’m surprised it didn’t got censored at the time it went on air)
“I can’t believe this aired” (gay as fuck)
I love it when odo drops a line he's clearly taken wholesale from one of his hardboiled detective novels fjdksah. 'you'll find I'm a man who... collects on his debts' yeah okay you embarrassing beige nerd

I love the term “loanwords” because it implies that you intend to give them back.
*dumps a box full of words on French’s front porch* You never came back for your shit.
Loanwords, loaned to the British Museum so
Would everyone like to know the best thing??? There are two types of borrowed word - loan words and calques. Loan words are words taken directly from the language i.e. tattoo, sushi, guillotine. Calques are words literally translated from the language before being borrowed i.e. beer garden, scapegoat, killer whale (incorrectly calqued, the original actually means whale killer which is a whole other post).
Did anyone notice the fun thing?
Loan word is a calque (German lehnwort lit. Loan+word) and calque is a loan word (French calque - tracing or imitation). Have a good day!
idk chat i just dont see how hard it is to admit that trans women, trans men, and non binary people all face their own forms of specific oppression and also transphobia as a whole. why do we act like we can only believe in one or the other
