When running stops working, the Blooming Grove is where Caleb runs to.

Immediately After

Whatever just happened between Caleb and Essek, it was bad, but it didn’t seem to be the kind of bad that meant Caduceus needed to rush to stop the bleeding. So first things first, he washed his hands. That took him a long time, because he hadn’t been careful to oil them first, and there was dough sticking in long stringy bits all over his fur. Next he brewed a pot of tea. From the Wilbry plot—bold and bracing. Caleb sometimes responded better to that than a gentle touch.

At the last moment he grabbed a handful of cookies to go with the tea. Sweetness to temper the bitterness.

The guest room was empty when he got there. Well, not empty, just empty of people. Caduceus was halfway turned around to look for Caleb elsewhere when he remembered that Caleb couldn’t walk right now. He gave the room a closer look and spotted a shimmering panel of light, half-hidden behind the bed. He ought to have known.

It's okay if you're 22 and still sleep with a stuffed animal it's called having the cuddlers spirit and it's actually what gets you into heaven

progestrogenized

it's also okay if you're 30 and still sleep with a stuffed animal for the same reason btw

#i sleep with my arm around a pillow but only because the doll i slept with every night until i was like 25 is literally falling into pieces #i'm a side sleeper! it's uncomfortable if i'm not holding something!#why not hold a soft friend?

I knew the notes on this would be Bad™ but it's literally a hellfire in the reblogs. To help:

Mrs - Misses - the woman in question is married

Miss - Miss - the woman in question is unmarried

Ms - Miz - the woman in question declines to disclose her marital status to you. She may perhaps also be offering you a hearty middle finger.

Here's a quote from Wikipedia from NINETEEN OH ONE!

Translated: how about we stop with all this "is she married" bullshit and just refer to her as her own person?

(granted they were doing that to avoid the social embarrassment of referring to a woman with the wrong marital term, but first wave feminism had a lot of stuff to work out so we do need to overlook some stuff sometimes)

#the notes on this one are. real bad.

spin-the-wheel-polls

you have this superpower! BUT you have this side-effect

is it worth it?

yes!!

the side effect is bad but ITS WORTH IT

meh it's okay

the side effect makes it unusable/not worth it

Results/option I didn't think of

#option you didn't think of: side effect means i'll never use it for sure but i was never going to use it anyway so it really doesn't matter #(you can melt anything by touching it but using the power slowly kills you)#reblog bait

#i just want people who have not seen tcfc to know before they vote #that 'what we made' is an hour long episode that tracks five different subplots in an eight-person cast #so like i love nmtd and 'single pringle' is a good episode #but just be aware that that's the comparison #tcfc

Being crazy about a piece of media for any amount of time will leave a weird mark on you forever because years later you’ll see someone posting something about it like “can we talk about this frame” and you’ll be like “ah that frame. i know all about that frame. I was once a scholar of that frame.”

Tom Paris is if like Riker if the narrative never, not for one second, believed he was cool. Tom Paris is a sentient dad joke. Tom Paris has been framed for murder on two separate planets. Tom Paris lost out in a love triangle to Neelix. Tom Paris daddy-issued so hard he turned himself and Janeway into lizards. Tom Paris told his girlfriend he wanted to commit an ecoterrorism, and his girlfriend was like, "You gotta do what you gotta do." Tom Paris was once ordered by a superior officer to have sex with the girl he liked (he declined). Tom Paris refused to let his child's heritage be erased. Tom Paris got brainwashed by a car.

Trip Tucker is like if Tom Paris never did anything wrong in his life and instead of the entire universe trying to kill him it was mostly just his own captain.

Sometimes I just turn Caleb Widogast and Aeryn Sun and Zuko over in my head and admire how nicely they all go together. Like, there's no world where you could conceivably cross their works over, and even if you could, they all represent such different angles on "abused child soldiers unlearning empire" that there's no point in their stories where you could bring them together and even have them on the same page.

But sometimes I just pick them up and put them down and sit them next to each other in different positions like I'm rearranging my blorbo collection in my mind. Like little porcelain figurines on a shelf. I picked them up in different stores, but look how nicely they fit together.

I am thrilled by Liam, Marisha, and Taliesin at the same table, but I think I may be even more thrilled that the Schemers table is just the arts & culture scene of a mid-sized city. These people should be on a nonprofit board together. She Should Be At The Fundraising Gala.

May I just say, 5 episodes in, that I was right and I should have said it.
