I had a dream that people started using the 🪷 emoji as a reaction and it was universally understood to mean “kill [] and you will be reincarnated as a lotus blossom.” Like someone would talk about going to the White House and people would spam 🪷🪷🪷 in the replies, and everyone just knew without having to be told that that meant “hey you should assassinate the president.”

A lot of They Would Not Fucking Say That moments for me are really more about the register than they are about the sentiment. Like, yeah, maybe they would say something to that effect, but they wouldn't say it with that particular level of formality under these particular circumstances.

[kingofdoma]

I will point out that Good Mr. Prokopetz means level of formality both in how overly or underly formal they speak. Example:

Magneto: What the hell happened here, dude? Wolverine: I haven't the foggiest idea.

[prokopetz]

Congratulations on being literally the only person in the notes who knows what a register is.

head trauma in books drives me so insane. in the one I’m reading now, the author knocks her character unconscious every time she wants to change the scene. like to get the ‘dramatic fade to black’ thing. but it’s happened AT LEAST four times, probably more, all in the same week. this person’s brain is scrambled. you can’t keep doing this. just describe them walking calmly and entering the next scene, you don’t need the fade to black. there have been ZERO CONSEQUENCES to the MULTIPLE CONCUSSIONS. this character is bleeding on the brain. they’re fucked. it doesn’t matter what else happens in this book, it’s already over for them.

sometimes i hate on a popular thing but then i forget that most people hate it for standard reason A, and that i neglected to clarify that i hate it for secret bizarrely specific reason P, and that i think it’s mean to hate on it because of standard reason A which is honestly really unfair, but like. secret bizarrely specific reason P is kind of hard to explain

[icedandcubed]

i really like in fiction when they're like oh no!!! the bad guys are about to win!!! and Character Who Keeps Trying To Sacrifice Themself For The Greater Good is like. gentlemen i have an idea

[heedra]

talking to preschoolers is awesome bc they have not fully differentiated stories into 'true stories' and 'imaginary stories' yet so you will tell them about something that happened you once (coyote came out of a bush right in front of you and got startled) and they will tell you about how one time their house was full of coyotes in every room 'including five in the garage' and they're not even like, aware i think of the idea that they are technically 'lying'. they are simply telling stories about coyotes bc its time to tell stories about coyotes.

[pomegranate-cuties]

#like ppl will be like 'kids love to lie' but i think whats going on is the human inclination to storytell. which is pointedly different imo#and like to be clear im not saying they dont know there weren't actually coyotes in their house#its just that like. they don't know why it would matter

When my younger brother was small he used to join in on any story that was happening with his own, like if someone was talking about driving a car he'd be like "when I was driving, [thing happened]"

This hit a peak that still gets quoted in our family when mum was reading him a picture book that included a scene where a teacher's hat gets blown off her head by the wind and eaten by a goat. And my wonderful 3 year old brother offered up "well when I was a goat, I ate the teacher's hat off her head too"

[wizardissues]

so wild to me that our buffy summers was born from a “ditzy cheerleader slays vampires” joke because she has such gravity and intelligence from the very jump. she’s a little goofy and a little quippy but season one has her a haunted little soldier fighting for the right to keep her girlhood and that’s where we START

I have to get her back. I have to.

Oz in Buffy is often praised for his emotional maturity and calm demeanor. However, his pattern of trying to deal with emotional and difficult situations alone, his inability to express anger except through physical outbursts and violence and his anxiety over Willow moving on causing him to physically transform into a werewolf all suggest that he in fact suppresses and intellectualises his emotions rather than allowing himself to feel them. In this essay I will-

[aphony-cree]

when Buffy could read minds the thoughts she got from Oz suggested he over analyzes things and quietly stresses out even though he doesn't express it outwardly

[no-resolution]

dawn summers is also a contender for character of all time. she's an eldritch horror stuffed into the body of a teenage girl. she's six months old. she's older than time. she's fourteen. she talks shit to the faces of the forces of darkness. she speaks sumerian. she killed her first kiss with a pencil. her best friend is a punk vampire that simps over her big sister. she writes about the horrors in her diary. she has done necromancy. she's a kleptomaniac. her favorite sandwich is salami with peanut butter. she was willing to sacrifice her life to save the world at fourteen years old. she became her sister's watcher when the original watcher abandoned them. she's extraordinary.

I appreciate Drusilla for being herself and not changing. No mystical pregnancy, no romani curse, no microchips. They couldn't catch her. She stayed a bad bitch and I love her for that.
