Ok so this came up in one of my uni classes: Jorge Luis Borges once trolled a bunch of ppl by claiming that an ancient Chinese text classified all animals into 14 arbitrary categories. Which one are you?

(edit) apologies but I had to combine a couple similar ones bc tumblr only allows up to 12 poll options)

Which one are you?

those belonging to the Emperor

embalmed ones

trained ones

suckling pigs

mermaids (or sirens)

fabled ones

stray dogs

those included in this classification/et cetera

those that tremble as if they were mad

innumerable ones/those that from afar look like flies

those drawn with a very fine camel hair brush

those that have just broken the vase

I've seen Lucanis' family villa so I knew he was rich, but this banter made me realize that he's a rich boy who has no idea what money is worth lmao.

Rook when an unprotected crate/vase/barrel enters their field of vision:

[hmslusitania]

Origins: the world is ending and you and your one remaining coworker are the only option left to save it.

II: the unavoidable tragedy of a queer friend group/polycule trying and failing to save their fucked up city

Inquisition: you went to a conference and accidentally ended up in charge of saving the entire world (again) with a team of colleagues who are (mostly) professionals and outstanding in their fields.

Veilguard:

Rook: hey, I suffered from “sudden field promotion” after “fucking everything up worse than it already was.” I’m putting a team together to kill at least one, maybe three, Gods

One of my favorite things is modern adaptations that leave people with the same careers they had in the original material, because unless you’re a cop or a doctor that practically never happens.

Irene Adler’s an opera singer. We still have those! They don’t have the same subtext exactly, but nothing is going to because we aren’t the Victorians. She could continue to be an opera singer. I have never seen this happen.

Jonathan Harker can still be in real estate. That’s a job people have. A modern story that still involves Dracula contacting his firm to help him purchase property sounds amazing actually.

A modern adaptation of Dracula where you keep seeing Jonathan Harker’s face on bus stop bench ads for his realtor office.

I was about to joke about Quincey Morris still being a cowboy, but then it occurred to me that he’s not actually a cowboy in the source material, is he? He’s the wealthy heir of a Texas ranch-owning family who just acts like an Old West cowboy. If anything, that’s even more plausible today than it was in 1897.
