omw to read The Castle of Crossed Destinies by Italo Calvino, published by Mariner Books Classics (possibly the first edition) because I trust Dr. Fareed.

Doctor Fareed can you please elaborate on what you mean by "Class B Vampires" is it sort by how strong they are (if so how is that quantified) or is it sorted by how old they are (ie: Above 500 years being class A, below 500 years being Class B). Please I would like to know. Did the survival rate dependent on how recently they've fed? TELL ME

Hannibal and IWTV are great examples of how you make a good TV show. Put bitches with undiagnosed personality disorders in the room and under no circumstances let them have clear communication. If someone suggests they "need therapy" or "healthy relationships", kill one hostage.

I know the entire JJC thing with forgiveness and chess in the last episode is emotional and touching, but I can't look pass how John, who had been held captive for weeks, just sat in his dirty clothes and started a chess game. My guy, you need to be sitting in a bath, not across the chess board

I had been waiting for them to play strip-chess for years, and the make up chess feels like the closest we can get *chef's kiss* 🥹🥹

Dragon age origins is like…. You’re nineteen, new in town, and it’s your second day at pizza hut. You don’t even know how to work the register yet and you just watched your manager get carted off by the paramedics. You have no contact info for him, his next of kin, or corporate. The only other employee is the guy who’s been here for two weeks and is a bit of a doofus, and neither of you really know what you’re supposed to do now. You both desperately need this job though, and the doofus at least has a drivers license and *kiiinda* knows how to use the oven so you just. Shrug, and start taking orders and making pizzas and praying to god that the bills are on autopay.

And weirdly enough you’re really good at this: making pizzas and dealing with shitty customers and breaking up fights in the parking lot and pretending to be Duncan’s cousin on the phone so the utility company doesn’t cut off the power. But running a store is a lot of work for two dumb kids, so slowly you start accumulating a bunch of competent weirdos to help out, like the nun who left her convent because god told her to help you make pizzas, and the elderly school teacher who just survived a mass shooting, and the guy the papa johns down the street hired to run you over. And really there’s no way any of this should be working as well as it is - you’re absolutely committing fraud of some kind here - but you’ve managed to dodge the landlord every time he’s stopped by, and the health inspector never shows up to tell you to stop letting your dog hang out behind the counter and you’re all still kinda looking at each other and asking ‘are we allowed to just do this?’ before shrugging again and continuing to make pizzas, until somehow, through a series of unlikely technicalities, your doofus coworker ends up on the ballot for governor.

And after like five months of this the regional manager wanders in out of nowhere and you’re sure he’s about to chew your ass out for this mess, but it turns out he’s pretty chill and honestly kind of impressed with how you managed to keep the place up and running all on your own. So now you’re all thinking ‘thank god, there’s someone here who actually knows how to run a Pizza Hut’ only for him to get hit by a car two days later on the night of the Super Bowl.

The way they just get each other. I’m never over it. 🥹

[a-lamppost-in-winter]

The contrast of their first meeting and how they simply get each other later… How quickly their acquaintance evolved into mutual understanding, respect and love is so special 🥹🥹🥹

Speaking of their first meeting, the way Stephan is described during it always makes me wonder if he wasn't intended to be a complex, likeable character when he first appeared. DG is known for retcon / giving 0 f*cks about consistency. So, throwing Stephan there to just have a Hanoverian connection to tie the main events of the book, then deciding he might be good for the plot later (hence extending his character) seems likely to me - yes, even if it is literally the beginning and end of the same book.

Especially "The man reeks as though he had just emerged from a whorehouse, I swear. And he would keep touching me, the hound!" comment from Benedicta feels wrong.

rewatching outlander 3x4: of lost things after reading the LJG series is wild

john on screen: chess, chess, yes, I'd serve as a father to your child, more chess

john offscreen: crime solving, ass kicking, army commanding, meeting a cute german soldier and getting emotionally tangled with him and befriending him, having an affair with his step brother, being betrayed by said step brother and helping him escape, uncovering the secrets behind his own father's death, fighting with jamie, acting as a midwife at some point, almost dying due to an explosion, going through an investigation about the explosion, running to canada after some stupid duel, going to ireland with jamie to stop some jacobite plot, getting into another duel-

thinking about sera being a homeless elven child and later a homeless elven teen surrounded by signs in denerim that say "elves who have swords will die on them". sera seeing a bunch of arranged heterosexual marriages in the alienage and parents expecting grandchildren from these unions. sera being terrified of a haunted orphanage full of dead elven children and the demonic spirits that took root there in the aftermath. sera being adopted by a human woman who claimed to love her unconditionally but used her race to undermine her faith in people for the pettiest reason imaginable.
