Modern day adaptation of the “all young ladies keep a journal” scene from Northanger Abbey where Tilney clocks Catherine as a Tumblrina after only ten minutes of speaking with her (there’s no other way she could’ve picked up those speech patterns) (he knows this because he’s been on Tumblr since Dashcon)

Catherine’s questions about John Thorpe’s taste in books are utterly dismissed and it instead becomes clear that he’s something of a film bro. He then proceeds to go on a fifteen minute rant about the genius of The Wolf of Wall Street and seems on the verge of showing Catherine his Letterboxd until Tilney intervenes by loudly proclaiming that his favorite Scorsese movie is his obscure 1973 mafia film Goncharov

I would like to take the time to remind everyone of how sassy Tolkien could be, as evidenced by this response to people who did not like his book:

“Some who have read the book, or at any rate have reviewed it, have found it boring, absurd, or contemptible, and I have no cause to complain, since I have similar opinions of their works, or of the kinds of writing that they evidently prefer.”

I'm so endeared by the French term for a stray cat being "chat errant." This implies the existence of a stray knight. Or that a chat errant is searching for noble purpose.

#nothing noble about my cat #she is definitely just looking for naughtiness

at a cafe overheard someone say (loudly) "EVERYONE CHEATS" and perked up my ears bc hey free relationship drama.

turned out she was talking about filing taxes. i hold you in significant esteem ma'am

I feel like this is a good time to verify that claim by mentioning that my great grandmother sewed items into the lining of her car when she and my great grandfather moved from Ireland to England because she didn't want to declare and thus pay tax on them. Her husband was very high up in HMRC and was basically the tax man (he was very unimpressed with her for this).

So yes even the tax man's wife cheats on taxes ^^

During WWII rationing, my parents' neighbor would take her entire stash of sugar, put it on the kitchen table, and call in and say, "I need more sugar ration coupons. All the sugar we have is on the table" and they would give her more. In the 1980s, when my parents knew her, she STILL had an attic absolutely STUFFED with WWII-era sugar.

Sherlock Holmes and the Naval Treaty

Annie and Percy: Everything is terrible! the situation is dire! It's of INTERNATIONAL IMPORTANCE! Percy is literally dying of anxiety! What do we do????

Holmes: *goes on a completely unrelated spiel about the metaphysical significance of the existence of roses*

Annie, marching over to Holmes: Listen here, fuckface--

Annie: "Do you see any prospects of solving this mystery?"

Sherlock: "Mystery? Oh."

Annie: 😑

The trails around Trillium Lake are my favorite!

You can walk around the whole lake. It’s about 2 miles.

usually when you have a stomach bug your body is like yes sir we'll get this punk out of here, 48 hours tops. then you get a cold and your body is like I dunno ... between a few hours and eleven months ... maybe a week minimum .... you gotta understand we're short staffed

tbf to the body, stomach bugs are easier to flush out since they are already in The System That Flushes Things Out From The Body, and that includes BOTH ends.

with a cold you gotta wait for the macrophages in your blood to start Eating Everything, and they are. not big. it takes them a while. please be more considerate of your macrophages in the future, theyre doing their best
