You just made my day.
i'm reading The Fifth Elephant (Terry Pratchett) and i love that the immediate impression you get of vetinari and margolotta's relationship is:
they have definitely fucked
2. the form the "fucking" took was sitting across a table from each other fully clothed and trying to psychologically manipulate each other.
What if we start from this entity and work backwards?
It's a sad fact that every long running universe based upon themes and tones of isolation, limiality, and cosmic horror gets worn down by overexplanation, overpopulation of the universe with entities, overuse, and eventually irony and financial exploitation. Derlething happened to Lovecraft, it happened to SCPs, it happened in record times to the backrooms.
There's still Frodo hate going on in the tags... I really don't get when people get annoyed with Frodo for... getting hurt??? Like it's somehow his own fault? As the Ringbearer, he was a target anyway. And how dare he react like a normal person by crying out in pain when injured! Bruh.
I know he was more stoic in the book after being stabbed by the Morgul blade, and he challenged the Ringwraiths, (which was pretty cool, and sometimes I do love me some "I'm fine" when bro is not fine) but listen. The movie had to move things along more quickly, which meant that the poison had to act more quickly. I maintain that movie Frodo's response to the Ringwraiths when they were coming for him was more relatable.
If you haven't yet, might I suggest:

Edit: Nvm, no scout. I think I might leave it blank or have the YIPE!!! dude
Edit 2: horns are painted red
As Google has worked to overtake the internet, its search algorithm has not just gotten worse. It has been designed to prioritize advertisers and popular pages often times excluding pages and content that better matches your search terms
As a writer in need of information for my stories, I find this unacceptable. As a proponent of availability of information so the populace can actually educate itself, it is unforgivable.
Below is a concise list of useful research sites compiled by Edward Clark over on Facebook. I was familiar with some, but not all of these.
⁂
Google is so powerful that it “hides” other search systems from us. We just don’t know the existence of most of them. Meanwhile, there are still a huge number of excellent searchers in the world who specialize in books, science, other smart information. Keep a list of sites you never heard of.
www.refseek.com - Academic Resource Search. More than a billion sources: encyclopedia, monographies, magazines.
www.worldcat.org - a search for the contents of 20 thousand worldwide libraries. Find out where lies the nearest rare book you need.
https://link.springer.com - access to more than 10 million scientific documents: books, articles, research protocols.
www.bioline.org.br is a library of scientific bioscience journals published in developing countries.
http://repec.org - volunteers from 102 countries have collected almost 4 million publications on economics and related science.
www.science.gov is an American state search engine on 2200+ scientific sites. More than 200 million articles are indexed.
www.pdfdrive.com is the largest website for free download of books in PDF format. Claiming over 225 million names.
www.base-search.net is one of the most powerful researches on academic studies texts. More than 100 million scientific documents, 70% of them are free
These men just stole the personal information of everyone in America AND control the Treasury. Link to article.

Thank you to everyone who got me to 50 likes!
It ain't much, but it... yeah, I'll probably do something for 100. Thanks anyway, this is pretty cool.
i love the idea that the doctor is just an eldritch abomination dressed in a vaguely humanoid suit. like this is a creature that in so many ways is supremely, deeply, Wrong, but everyone sees them as a friend, as something to be trusted, because that's the perception they want to give to the universe
I see beauty.
