one thing you need to know about me is that i am constantly having insane galaxy genius ancient greek philosopher level thoughts about everything ever all the time but before leaving my mouth they get filtered through seven layers of autism and come out sounding like a youtube comment made by a nine year old

Is that what that is?!? Is that why i cant vocalize the hot thoughts?

#god I fucking know right #fucking hate the autism filter #(the layer of having to verbalise your thoughts in the first place is one thing) #(but the layer where *even when you know exactly what words you intend to say‚ your mouth won’t repeat them verbatim*? uggghhhh) #that excuse for communication called speech #autism #relatable

brin-bellway asked: Word-wise, I like “meridian”. (This is also what I told theunitofcaring, but I don’t mind having that deanonymised.)

Meridian. MeRIDian. Meridian. Nice word.

(At least when it isn’t referring to the fictional creatures that are half fish and half monster from the id, as described in Idian mythology.)

I still randomly smile at the word “meridian,” so it’s probably safe to declare this the winner of the Suggest a Cool Word contest of 2015.

silly story ideas, free to a good home:

  • political thriller set in a high fantasy world without technological stasis, so it’s got like 1990s technology
  • magical realist high fantasy: a fantasy world with rigorous magical systems and detailed worldbuilding where sometimes inexplicable shit happens simply because the emotional logic of the narrative demands it
  • elaborate hard-SF Larry Niven style except there’s also secret wizards hiding their existence from the rest of the universe (that the wizards did not in fact build the macguffin the plot is concerned with is a minor plot point)
  • postapocalyptic science fiction but the mood is farce
  • alternate history with a very carefully worked out single point of divergence, but also it’s magical realism and sometimes inexplicable things happen just because the emotional logic of the narrative demands it.
  • high fantasy, but the world not only has magic, but radically different mundane physical laws whose implications have been carefully worked out in the manner of a Greg Egan story.
  • contemporary urban fantasy but the story is literally just about wizards trying to run their own space program in secret
  • contemporary urban fantasy but the story is about the wizards from the previous story trying to run a space program in the parallel hell-dimension they discovered, because it has its own unique cosmological properties they’re fascinated by
  • urban fantasy but instead of being set in “our” world, it’s set in a world with radically different physical laws that are nonetheless worked out with diamond-hard realism, in the style of greg egan. but, you know. also with secret wizards.
  • who are running a space program
  • i’m gonna be real with you, if i discovered magic was real, and i personally was a wizard, my first thought would be, “how could i use this to advance the exploration of space?” i would settle for the exploration of the ocean or something in a pinch, but mostly i would be thinking about space

“high fantasy, but the world not only has magic, but radically different mundane physical laws whose implications have been carefully worked out in the manner of a Greg Egan story.”

I think I play in a TTRPG setting like this?

“contemporary urban fantasy but the story is literally just about wizards trying to run their own space program in secret”

this isn’t actually a scholomance fanfic I’ve seen but the characters in other scholomance fanfic have definitely discussed a secret moon colony
