everything i toot is the best. you cannot find here any toot that is not the best.

hi yes hello.
read the story i finally translated to the end, Frostwalker:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/10VL-0sSIqf_lUi093am43c2aFlIxFHVpXCfbniYO3Ig/edit?usp=sharing

it's a thrilling tale by the only good finnish writer Volter Kilpi, about an ill-tempered and bitter old man hauling a sled along on ice, going through the the events of his thoroughly sucked-dry life.

it's good check it out, i promise. only 24 pages! with a four-page preface, most (or all, if you're a rebel) of which you can skip

i'm going to translate a book and post it toot by toot and none of you can stop me. only i can stop me

fucking pipe men

watched some finnish comedy and it was really funny for a change. and it's viewable abroad and subtitled? https://areena.yle.fi/1-50025965

my face smells like burnt hair

their name was also very nearly the same as one of my classmates in high school, so when the name came up on google i started wondering why the fuck that guy's calling me all of a sudden

got a phone call from an unknown number, and googling reveals it's some old dude who runs a consulting firm (it's just him though?) and worked 40 years at a steel mill? blogs about his life and posts travel photos? and sells cds? all on the same website?

why is it so COLD i can't believe i have to wear pants at home

MAN: let us cease the cycle of violence
WOMAN: no, let us continue the cycle of violence
OTHER MAN: stop her
GUARD: *shoots woman*
OTHER MAN: don't they want to live in peace!? don't they want to be happy!? what should i have done!!!!

and so the cycle of violence continued

hot dang these guards did not follow the procedures of escalating force and now there's gonna be a war all over again. and we just dealt with that. bleh

or not, i guess? i don't trust hydaelyn one bit. i say she goes right after the ascians

minfilia needs to be rescued... again...

ahh... nothing screams "righteous cause" more than holding a child hostage by holding them aloft outside a window by the neck

why it so cold

if the hockey puck goes in the goal, that's good for the team

that rando just stabbed through ser what's his name's metal armor with a kitchen knife. pretty strong

pretty sure the best way to enjoy ffxiv's story is the same as metal gear solid 4: watch a lp on youtube skipping all the gameplay bits

why do people paint fruit

can't believe thancred is fucking alive

waiter, waitress
butt, buttress

when you keep making the same joke, it's called "leitmotif"

today morning they shot me with a laser. exciting
