the main thing that puts me off of playing chess is that there is 2000 years of gameplay that hundreds of people with higher IQs than me have spent thousands of hours studying the history of, so much so that when i put the pawn forward they say “ah i see youre going for the bulgarian somersault” and then i try to take their bishop with my knight and they go “aw, rookie mistake, youve played the frenchmans cumsock, and in approximately 37 moves i’ll have won”
god
A terrifying yet thrilling thought: Charlie Dalton meeting Ferris Bueller
The world would not be prepared for that epic crossover
me: it's lazy to just give joel and wednesday the same dynamic of morticia and gomez, where's the fun in that? I think it's way more fun to give them something different but still as fantastical
the ending of addams family values: a boy, a girl, an open grave
me: omg a boy, a girl and an open grave :O
everyone needs a clancy crew kinda friend in their life
including me
Ahhh mouse!!!
the lack of mouse huxtable content out there is criminal
man seeing old posts of mine in the ruby redfort tag is so weird
my personal Clancy Crew headcanon (if rr was modern) is that he fucking loves Google Earth. Like he will spend hours going to all these different places, especially ones in the ocean and just ‘explore’. he does all the quizzes and games too. Ruby thinks its weird and tries telling him it would be better irl but he obviously doesn’t listen :)
don’t know where this came from but it feels right
can we please acknowledge the fact that TYLB is absolutely TERRIFYING???
like THERE IS A LITERAL SEA MONSTER ON THE COAST OF TWINFORD. a sea monster that eats people and forces them to tell the truth if they escape with their life like that is some fantasy shit and no one questions it?? also ruby and clancy nearly drowning in that cave full of sharks + a sea monster??
terrifying, I tell you
I’m sorry i’m so inactive rn but i’ve just moved schools so that’s been... a lot, but i have a bunch of headcanons I wanna post soon :)
Do you have a list or something of your favourite academic/theory books? 🥺
sure! all of them should be available on libgen, so enjoy 🧚🏻♀️ i did focus on cultural histories rather than theory, though, otherwise it would get too long. virtually all of them are published by the academic presses, and well-sourced and peer-reviewed. no pseudoscience in this household, no sirree! (also, none of them have anything to do with my actual field of study. i’m just like that)
