アズラ: 大キツネ (azure@tailswish.industries)'s status on Friday, 01-Apr-2022 05:10:51 UTC アズラ: 大キツネ Wow. It's like Brent Spiner keeps trying to get out and they just keep pulling him back in. -
アズラ: 大キツネ (azure@tailswish.industries)'s status on Friday, 01-Apr-2022 05:10:51 UTC アズラ: 大キツネ Wow. The message is a bit sledgehammery.
But Q going back in time and actively exploiting and worsening someone's mental health is much better than the political event I thought they might be going for. -

Like I definitely think the composition teacher who told me to read my writing out loud and pay attention to how it flowed did me a hug favor. Before then I’d just write huge, page-long grammatically correct sentences jammed with parenthetical asides and independent clauses and…
But my favorite quote on composition comes from C. S. Lewis:
For in Calormen, story-telling (whether the stories are true or made up) is a thing you’re taught, just as English boys and girls are taught essay-writing. The difference is that people want to hear the stories, whereas I never heard of anyone who wanted to read the essays.

It's one reason why I prefer making the antagonist sympathetic and understandable to add complexity than making the protagonist nasty and borderline sociopathic.
(That and the latter doesn't really add /complexity/ so much as just substitute an underdeveloped Hero for an underdeveloped Grimdark Antihero.) -
アズラ: 大キツネ (azure@tailswish.industries)'s status on Wednesday, 23-Mar-2022 23:55:27 UTC アズラ: 大キツネ @natecull …can we package Omnius and the Borg Queen together and exile them to Quibi so when it collapses it'll rip them from the fabric of time and they'll never have existed? -
アズラ: 大キツネ (azure@tailswish.industries)'s status on Wednesday, 23-Mar-2022 23:55:26 UTC アズラ: 大キツネ @natecull If they keep up with the "Jean-Luc Picard is immature and has never had a relationship and also the only reason he went to space is because he had family trouble as a child." thing, then I'm perfectly happy to retcon away the Picard appearances from the movies and post-TNG, too, to be honest. -
アズラ: 大キツネ (azure@tailswish.industries)'s status on Sunday, 06-Mar-2022 02:39:18 UTC アズラ: 大キツネ @taylan I feel like only using the Christian god in blasphemy is unfair to all the other gods and gives them a certain undeserved prominence, so I try to mix it up. -
アズラ: 大キツネ (azure@tailswish.industries)'s status on Sunday, 06-Mar-2022 02:39:14 UTC アズラ: 大キツネ Ahura H. Mazda what is it with people acting like I'm supposed to be appalled by the idea that people have sex sometimes? I'm an adult asexual, not a vampire one can ward off with orgasms instead of crosses. -
アズラ: 大キツネ (azure@tailswish.industries)'s status on Friday, 04-Feb-2022 20:15:25 UTC アズラ: 大キツネ …I kind of want to write a series of children's books to bring children to admire , respect, and emulate Satan just so evangelicals have something ACTUALLY Satanic to burn instead of Dungeons and Dragons and Harry Potter. -
アズラ: 大キツネ (azure@tailswish.industries)'s status on Saturday, 15-Jan-2022 18:56:10 UTC アズラ: 大キツネ @clacke …this is surprising to me. I know the Greeks mixed wine with water.
But so did the Romans.
I think they would sometimes use unmixed, pure wine for religious purposes, but I didn't think unmixed wine was a normal, daily thing for them. -
