Quectosievert - An Imperceptibly Small Dosage Of Radiation - Tumblr Blog

Welp that was the most I’ve ever cried to a fanfic how dare you recommend something so beautiful

The gun is cocked. I'm sobbing and shaking.

"Say it."

"I can't!"

They push the gun into my temple. "Say it now."

"ACAB includes Sam Vimes, OK, are you happy now?"

All of the crowdstrike drama is really making me thankful I never found that set of jumper wires for my breadboard and became an electrical engineer

The worst I can do as a marine engineer is blow up the engine and start an uncontrollable fire which destroys the ship. Very low stakes compared to BSODing every hospital’s computer system

Anyway very glad I’m floating around the North Sea while all of this is going down

Oh my god Leonard of Quirm invented the implosion-type nuclear bomb?!?

This is totally just where the gods come from.

The urge to dominate the world has been replaced by the detached rpg-but-with-real-people-as-pieces-ing

The 8th son of a god probably just becomes a turtle.

So, in the Discworld, a Wizard is the Eighth Son of an Eighth Son

If a Wizard has 8 Sons, that Eighth is a Sourcerer (named so because they are sources of Magic)

Now, sourcerers don't usually happen because of the prohibition against Wizards having Children, but it clearly happens sometimes (the entire 5th Book is about that)

What I'm curious about is what would happen if a sourcerer had 8 Sons. Are sourcerers infertile because of their magic, would that son be even more power than their father, are sourcerers the height of magical potential, ect

And what if it went on for 8 generations. We have 8 Generations of 8th Sons of 8th Sons. Would they basically be gods, would they surpass the gods, ect

(And forgive my ignorance. I've only read 19 of the books so far, with another 3 I'm currently reading)

Old Discworld werewolf/vampire ship of mine.

I will be honest guys, the Red portrait of king Charles is gorgeous asdfghjkl

it's a bad portrait. Like. Objectively. It does the opposite of what's intended. It looks like the painter is insulting him. If it was in a contemporary gallery with no context you would see it immediately as the ambivalent criticism of Charles's reign, how he fades into the overwhelming red background as a tiny little figure, small and insignificant, insufficient for the clothes he's wearing. It reminds my of Goya's portraits, how they were so 'realistic' that they ended up making these great figures look pathetic to the viewer. So these are our rulers?

the sheer novelty. the surprise and shock, the kinda cunt it's serving for no reason. I. I love it. It's an incredible portrait by Jonathan Yeo. By the sheer fact that Charles, the man, is impossible to portray as greater than man because he's just such a nothingburger of a dude. So a portrait made to make him look huge and interesting made him be swallowed in red brushstrokes. The butterfly, that reminded me immediately of " we will all laugh at guilded butterflies", draws more attention than him. It looks like an omen. It looks like a warning in all this red. Something is not right here.

This is the best royal portrait ever 10/10
