sometimes i think about how in premodern society basically half of all children just died
our world in data chart labeled "The long-run history of child mortality" showing that child mortality rates were nearly 50% for multiple societies across all of human history until the 20th century where it starts to drop to around modern levels

LUCY
anne of green gables excerpt: The two little girls hastened out hand in hand and hurried through Lovers’ Lane and across the crusted field beyond, for the snow was too deep to go by the shorter wood way. Anne, although sincerely sorry for Minnie May, was far from being insensible to the romance of the situation and to the sweetness of once more sharing that romance with a kindred spirit.

i know they're like 12 and it's the late 1800s or whatever but jesus christ
anne of green gables excerpt: “Ten minutes isn’t very long to say an eternal farewell in,” said Anne tearfully. “Oh, Diana, will you promise faithfully never to forget me, the friend of your youth, no matter what dearer friends may caress thee?” “Indeed I will,” sobbed Diana, “and I’ll never have another bosom friend⁠—I don’t want to have. I couldn’t love anybody as I love you.” “Oh, Diana,” cried Anne, clasping her hands, “do you love me?” “Why, of course I do. Didn’t you know that?” “No.” Anne drew a long breath. “I thought you liked me, of course but I never hoped you loved me. Why, Diana, I didn’t think anybody could love me. Nobody ever has loved me since I can remember. Oh, this is wonderful! It’s a ray of light which will forever shine on the darkness of a path severed from thee, Diana. Oh, just say it once again.” “I love you devotedly, Anne,” said Diana stanchly, “and I always will, you may be sure of that.”

reading anne of green gables like damn, i thought i had an unhealthy fixation on semicolons
first graf of anne of green gables: "MRS. Rachel Lynde lived just where the Avonlea main road dipped down into a little hollow, fringed with alders and ladies’ eardrops and traversed by a brook that had its source away back in the woods of the old Cuthbert place; it was reputed to be an intricate, headlong brook in its earlier course through those woods, with dark secrets of pool and cascade; but by the time it reached Lynde’s Hollow it was a quiet, well-conducted little stream, for not even a brook could run past Mrs. Rachel Lynde’s door without due regard for decency and decorum; it probably was conscious that Mrs. Rachel was sitting at her window, keeping a sharp eye on everything that passed, from brooks and children up, and that if she noticed anything odd or out of place she would never rest until she had ferreted out the whys and wherefores thereof.

robert spitzer, a psychiatrist from a country that was founded in a war over not doing what a king said: I've Discovered A New Disease Called Not Doing What I Say Syndrome
several other people, including psychiatrists, literally immediately: what the fuck are you talking about
The third criterion, of a handicapping condition, is obviously met by the traditional psychiatric categories, but previous critics, such as Garmezy (1978), have queried whether it is met by some of the newly introduced categories such as "avoidant disorder" or "schizoid disorder" or "oppositional disorder." His questioning of these categories appears fully justified. For example, "oppositional disorder" is to be diagnosed if at least two of the following five behaviors have lasted at least six months: violations of minor rules, temper tantrums, argumentativeness, provocative behavior, or stubbornness. That description—and only two are required for the diagnosis—sounds like the behavior of a lot of children one meets socially and not at all like psychiatric disorder. Of course, these behaviors are often involved in psychiatric conditions, but on their own they do not sound sufficient for a psychiatric diagnosis. At the very least, one must ask for validating data.

aside from the gary provost five-words quote, not a lot—which is, unfortunately, why i'm complaining about it lol
screengap of gary provost quote off of goodreads: “This sentence has five words. Here are five more words. Five-word sentences are fine. But several together become monotonous. Listen to what is happening. The writing is getting boring. The sound of it drones. It’s like a stuck record. The ear demands some variety. Now listen. I vary the sentence length, and I create music. Music. The writing sings. It has a pleasant rhythm, a lilt, a harmony. I use short sentences. And I use sentences of medium length. And sometimes, when I am certain the reader is rested, I will engage him with a sentence of considerable length, a sentence that burns with energy and builds with all the impetus of a crescendo, the roll of the drums, the crash of the cymbals–sounds that say listen to this, it is important.”

finally reading the communist manifesto. genuinely obsessed with this description. "modern society is like an evil wizard" —karl marx
text screencap: "A similar movement is going on before our own eyes. Modern bourgeois society with its relations of production, of exchange and of property, a society that has conjured up such gigantic means of production and of exchange, is like the sorcerer, who is no longer able to control the powers of the nether world whom he has called up by his spells. For many..." (text is cut off)

i don't work very hard at naming TTRPG abilities and stuff in the prototyping stage
text screencap: If Nobody Got Me I Know Sunblack Got Me Whenever you take harm, gain <intel:Sunblack>. You can spend this intel for advantage by explaining how the chaotic flow of the city's people, traffic, municipal systems, and architecture lend you aid. ● Minor Advance: Drive It Home. You can spend <intel> to gain strain advantage in the same circumstances as normal advantage. ● Minor Advance: Brain Hurts. Gain <intel:Sunblack> when you take strain as well. ● Minor Advance: Knows Everyone. Spend <intel:Sunblack> to describe a friend or contact who can provide you with something important.

realized today that i haven't shared this with bluesky, so i present to you: simply the worst ability ever designed in a tabletop RPG
Garbage Take OP Once per session, you can trawl an NPC's social media accounts to find a personal beef, embarrassing take, or other form of hostile behavior to gain social leverage over them. However, you also take 1d strain as the GM tells you about the internet’s main character for the day, according to the following format: A(n) (CAREER) posted that (AWFUL THING/INNOCUOUS OR GOOD THING) is actually (GOOD OR INNOCUOUS/SECRETLY AWFUL) because of (NONSENSICAL REASON, optional.) Examples: ● A WRITER posted that A POPULAR TV SHOW is SECRETLY AWFUL because THE ACTORS HAVE PET DOGS. ● A YOUTUBER posted that EARTHQUAKES are GOOD because THEY HATE CALIFORNIANS.

in SUNBLACK, my tabletop RPG about smuggling rogue psychics away from the US intelligence apparatus, you have an office that sucks
document screencap: THE OFFICE Your office is where you work. Choose 1 positive and 3 negatives: Positives: ● A van ● A little side room with a cot ● A kitchenette ● Great internet ● Cheap restaurants nearby ● Building meets decent accessibility standards Negatives: ● Floors are (always slightly sticky / not level, tilted at a slight angle / covered with actively peeling carpet) ● Lights (flicker on and off constantly or at random / constantly emit a low buzzing noise / are so bright they flashbang people even if it's just a cloudy day) ● Front door is impossible to find, accessible only via (fire escape / underground entrance / the stairs in the back of a second, deeply obnoxious business) ● Doors (only open with an unreliable app / are tied to extremely janky motion sensors / get stuck or jammed all the time) ● Ceiling is (bulging with a rainwater leak / home to at least 1 family of raccoons / constantly shedding dust) ● Building electricity results in (terrible heating & AC / oversensitive fire alarms / breakers that flip if you plug in more than 2 devices at a time) ● The building is (constantly being renovated / inaccessible unless you personally let a visitor in / somewhere with no cell reception) ● ________ (invent your own) You can pick multiple things from the same section; they're just organized this way for brevity's sake.
