Scale of one to ten, how mad do you think Kohga is when, after he describes his/the Clan’s long, difficult work to figure out how to use Zonai tech, to collect charges, and to reconstruct a mighty ancient construct to gift to Lord Ganon, and after he debuts said amazing piece of engineering (which he’s even dressed up to show it’s special and his)*…

Link can just stand back and let his own mech, that he built in like two days tops and that is powered by a sage who barely knows him and is following him more or less blindly because he’s the Princess’s Chosen Hero…

Bop his creation repeatedly with a spiky metal ball (his own signature weapon)?

Because I think the answer is over 9000.

This is the mask of a man having a breakdown.

Actually you know what I'm peer reviewing my own tags to point this out:

#another lil detail: the construct's red shield matches the red-pink-orange magic the yiga/maz koshia use.

#but kohga's own personal shields he's used in each fight and in botw are the blue shared by sheikah tech and impa (aoc) AND maz koshia

#nice blend of the two varieties of ancient sheikah magic on display here! (alongside the zonai-style energy powering the thing)

#((seized construct's shield/other energy that's animating it is a different, darker red-and-black color--that's ganondorf's color))

I reviewed another opinion for a judge in a case I worked on, and she not only copied my supervisor on an e-mail glowing with praise for my memo and how quick and helpful my editing was, she asked me to call her just so she could 'thank me properly' for explaining a complicated area of the law she was unfamiliar with and 'making her job so much easier.'

^(^o^)^ I am gooooood at what I do and everybody says so!!!

lemon stealing whores are a huge issue separate from food stealing whores. there’s a whole documentary about whores stealing lemons from the trees of unsuspecting victims. you can see the first two minutes of it here.

Thats a rickroll. That totally is a fucking rickroll. No fukin way. Not falling for it.

dude, trust me, that isn’t a rick roll. its something worse

Me to the rest of tumblr after actually watching what was in the link:

…I really don’t know what I was expecting.

What the fuck did i just watch.

It- it’s not a Rick roll

Have we really reached a time when the Lemon Stealing Whores are no longer common knowledge.

Yahaha! You found me!

I couldn’t resist making this adorable pattern! The photos don’t really show it, but it’s got kind of a wood-grain pattern on the torso, which I think is pretty cool. Size 3 yarn, size C/2.75 mm hook. Roughly 4-5 inches tall.

now… the thing is that this isn’t just any Korok, though. This is a backpack Korok. So in true TotK fashion… we’ve been putting him in Situations.

Thank you for the excellent pattern, @i-crochet-things!

AAAA SOCUTEEE

I'm rereading Thud, and I've just got to the point where Chrysoprase and Vimes are having a meeting. When Vimes tells Chrysoprase Carrot is investigating the Grag Hamcrusher murder case, which Chrysoprase just assured Vimes definitely wasn’t a troll, and asked him to investigate personally, Chrysoprase first asks him to reconsider. Vimes refuses. Then Chrysoprase asks if Vimes trusts Carrot, and Vimes says yes. Then Chrysoprase says:

"Okay. He shiny. He a thinker."

And for the first time that word jumped out at me. Shiny. Diamond King of Trolls is going by the pseudonym Mister Shine at the moment, and the slogan "Mister Shine - him diamond", is popping up in Ankh-Morpork graffiti, literally the writing on the wall. The connection is so striking Vimes jumps straight to it. He doesn’t ask Chrysoprase what he means, he asks who Mister Shine is, because at this point he doesn’t know.

But. Troll kings are diamond, and we know from Thunderbolt the lawyer, who also has some diamond to him, (I wonder if he was ever in line for the throne?) that having any diamond in you means you can't lie. It makes you truthful and it makes you royal. It also makes you highly conspicuous. Diamond King of Trolls goes about wrapped in a cloak, and he is called by the use-name Mister Shine.

And what does Chrysoprase - a well-informed and intelligent gang boss - call Carrot, a hidden royal heir who hasn’t taken up his crown, and who uses the truth as a shield and a sword? Shiny. Chrysoprase calls him shiny. It's a compliment I can't remember anyone else in Discworld getting or giving.

I just think that's incredibly clever.

Hey guys! The future of the Chandra telescope is currently up in the air (no pun intended). The US government is planning on massively reducing the budget for Chandra’s operations, which would cause them to lay off about half their staff. Future planned budget cuts can possibly end its mission altogether. The staff are government workers and cannot lobby for themselves (which is why I’m trying to spread the word 🙂 ).

You can read more about it here

Basically they ask for two things:

1) contact your representatives (if you’re American)

2) sign the in-progress community letter to NASA and Congress (you do not have to be American for this!)

Please sign, contact representatives if you’re American, and share with folks!

Chandra has a decade of mission time left and is continuing to produce amazing data for astrophysics research. Cancelling it a decade early would be a tragedy.
