@wallhackio in the roman colonies they had this feast called saturnalia where on the last night they would bake a bean into a loaf of bread and whoever got it became the lord of misrule
after christianization this tradition was moved to the end of christmastide, i·e epiphany i·e the day celebrating when the three gentile kings bore witness to jesus
consequently the cake is now known as kings cake
our revised plan is to try starting the year on the sundown before 364 days before the first sunday in january
which is tomorrow night
@coriander but it’s complicated. for example over the course of my lifetime publishers have decided to get really into dialogue and shied away from lengthy prose. this is BOTH because dialogue is easy to adapt to film AND because an audience which is more versed in film than literature is more comfortable reading dialogue exchanges than lengthy prose AND (and subsequently) because it is an aesthetic choice in a lot of YA, which preconditioned the preferences of a lot of heavy readers who grew up on the stuff
@coriander a slightly more accurate take would be that the amount of money in film adaptations of books means that publishers are looking for books which are easy to film-adapt, and YA just figured out that formula first
@coriander i mean it’s always been happening but increasingly so i think; a reductive but probably at least somewhat accurate summary is that YA’s popularity has resulted in publishers trying to make every other genre more like YA
@coriander it’d be more neutral if it wasn’t being pushed on authors by big publishing companies
Blue Riju from that unfinished color wheel challenge. This one was an interesting challenge, but I was really happy with how it turned out.

@aescling sure but understand that people can do this with false revelations just as easily as true ones; that’s just persuasive writing
i told @aescling to make a town on her 3DS and her vibes were all “i am too busy playing sonic rush to fuck wolf link”
@packetcat social media is part of it but the state of institutionalized schooling is a much bigger part
