About this blog

This is the thing where I talk about things when I feel like talking about them! Posts will be randomly posted, content won't be there until I'm content with it, and basically this place should soon be stuffed full of stuff!

Please don't feel obligated to read any of this, by the way. My mind just won't mind its own business and think its thoughts at a million miles per hour, so imma write it all down right away. Basically I'll be writing about the basic knowledge of I have of things and beef it up to look somewhat presentable!

(Also bear in mind that a lot of the time I'll be drawing connections and conclusions based on the Eleven Precepts of Fadran, which is a list of truths that I've designed based on my own experience. Apparently people thought they were decent so do check them out if you feel so inclined. They can be found in my About Me page)

Measurements, Part Two: Electric Boogaloo

To those whom it may concern: I wasn't planning on making a sequel to this post. Frankly, I didn't think there was much else to say. But then I was reading What If? 2 by Randall Munroe. This is not a paid promotion or an advertisement, but GO FRIGGIN READ IT. And the first one, for that matter. In one of the sections, he brings up in a footnote that the distance light travels in one nanosecond is roughly 11.8 inches: a distance, he notes, that is "frustratingly close to a foot," and t

Ruining the Alphabet

I decided to compile ways to spell the names of each letter so that I can ruin your day. A: Ay, ey, e (as in "egg"), ee ("yeehaw" but REALLY dang western), aha (if you don't give graham fifty extra syllables) B: Be, bee, beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, bea (as in bean), being (if you're british), and beh (if you're britisher) C: See, "joe mama" ( @Atusiff hijacked my keyboard ) D: Dee, di, (this one's boring) E: Ie, ei, ee, e, i, y, ea, ey, ay (as in "cay"),

Measurements are Weird

It is absolutely no secret that the imperial system is kinda dumb. Like, did you know that the foot was divided into ten "thumb-lengths" back in ye olden dayse? Heck, there are records showing that inches were defined by the width of a man's thumb rather than the length of it (that are presumably incredibly precise for the time!). And all in all, it turns out that feet are defined by twelve times an inch, not the other way around. And the mile? Five thousand two hundred and eighty feet??? W

Coming "Soon"

Stuff I wanna talk about: YA Fantasy and Why I Stoped Reading It Are souls real? What about robots? [Feat. Brandon Sanderson's accidental obsession with Plato] Solving every problem And potentially other things. We'll see. Follow if ya wanna hear about these things!

Soft Worldbuilding is Awesome

So this is Brandon Sanderson's fansite. Talk to most young authors nowadays: chances are they're a hard worldbuilder. They can throw together the foundations for a decent universe on the fly without a pen or pencil in just a few minutes. Chances are also likely that they read Brandon Sanderson--let's face it, who doesn't? Is there a correlation here? ... Yes. Yes, there is. The answer is yes. Which is fine. Hard Worldbuiding is great; I would know. I'm a hard worldbuilde

Why Random Stuff Matters

How much of this universe actually matters to you? Try putting a number on it: twenty percent? Thirty percent? Ninety percent? Do you care about what you know, or do you think about all that we don’t? We haven’t explored the vast majority of our own oceans, let alone everything beneath the crust, or any sizeable portion of another planet, or any meaningful fragment of the universe. Statistically speaking you’re going to be stuck on this one bead of lava and sediment for your entire life, and eve
