With the whole Watcher situation, I keep wondering if they expected a positive response to their announcement, if they are shocked by the responses, if this is in line with what they thought would come. Because surely they must've anticipated backlash.

And I know no one needs my two cents on this topic but I just gotta get it out.

Multiple people have said VIBES and my brain is actually melting.

#thematically and then by author and then by size#well author series size if the author has a series and a stand alone#so i have a shelf for greek myth retellings#and then if i have multiple by the same author which are stand alones I sort them by height#unless its a series then i might sort them by publication date like on my YA shelf where leigh bardugo is S&B first then SoC and then KoS#and then the stand alones like demon in the woods or lives of the saints#but then right next to it is TRC and AFTG and they are just in that order for no reason#but because I read/discovered them all around the same time on tumblr and they are all “more or less dark ya tumblr fiction w unhinged boy”#i tend to order by reading date#i read a later publication by an author before their first publication soI sort it before the first publication unless its shorter in heigh#this is how i feel

Historicity in Video Games

Do you game? Do you like history? Wanna help out my friend for his bachelor's thesis on Historicity in Video Games?

It would be amazing if you could fill in a short (10-20min depending on your freeform answers) Google Form questionnaire for my friend's thesis. It would really help him out!

Think of games like Assassins Creed or Red Dead Redemption or Age of Empires or Call of Duty or Oregon Trail.

He's looking at the importance of historicity in games like that, what counts as historically accurate or authentic, what's even important, and looks into differences between what gamers vs game developers perceive as important or authentic!

Player's side

Game developer's side

For example, he goes into whether or not you'd prefer historically accurate travel options vs faster travel options - and it's always teleportation over slowly walking for me personally.

hasty doodle featuring merthur! i don’t think i’ve ever posted about bbc merlin on here, but was recently inspired by their dynamic since their archetypes could absolutely go both ways - sunshine/grumpy, protector/precious, goofy/stoic. bbc struck gold in the shipping sector but just didn’t know it, and also it was 2008.

reblog with a book that you have read this year and would like to suggest 📚📖📗📑📔🍵☕

#The Whale Tattoo#It's a debut novel and just incredible#Imagine... The dread always being there#And you know things will happen#Bad things#But you don't know to whom or when#And you're a working class queer man in a small town by the water#Also: Three Daughters of Eve by Elif Shafak#Same underlying sense of dread#I have read a lot of good books with underlying sense of dread#But those two were amazing

wait wait im gonna ask my offline folks but like, online comrades!!

feel free to share anything about yourself that you feel contributes to the feeling!

#Crowds in open spaces are mostly okay#Like a Christmas market or pride#Crowds in closed rooms are not so great but depends on the day I'm having#Like conventions are fine but clubs are horrible#Because it's dark or the lights are flickering and people are drunk or dance and I can't handle the uncontrolled movements well#That's why I get seating tickets for concerts or stand on the edge if it isn't possible#This is how I feel

The day before yesterday I was looking at statistics about reading habits in different countries (average book count per year, age, most read genre, etc) and then yesterday i came across a poll here asking how many books youve read so far this year and now im wondering:

The highest I saw (not just in that poll's tags but on other socials as well) was 365! With the person in question being a lil under 300 rn.

The lowest (and no shame here! I myself have picked up reading again after a long time and it's quite the challenge) was 1! But I also saw lots of people aim for 5.

The average seems to be anywhere around 30 to 60!

And the second most common bracket (interesting that it's also the one made up of mostly late teens and early 20yos) is 10-30!

Idk if anyone will read this but if u do, id love to know more about your thought process in the tags!

(Just pls be kind to each other and no fucked up elitism lol)

#my goal is 23#well it was 25 but i reread the six of crows duology and couldn't log it again so I just lowered my goal my two#i am on 17 right now#but those include Carmilla which is like 90 pages#and also the Check Please Chirp Book which is just a series of tweets made by a fictional character#as well as Madison which is a Check Please mini comic#but i still count those#i know that in the bookstagram community some people are pushing for pages read as a goal rather than books read#also i think i have bought more books this year than i have read#also i have a bookstagram and it's lit.tearacy if you wanna look it up thanks
