metal from heaven out today! here’s a few author tweets from recent months to perhaps convince you of it

hyperfixating on a fictional woman who went underdeveloped in canon is literally FUN and the 80-90% of fandom people who only do the same for background character men have no idea of the degree to which they are fucking missing out

hour 1 of thinking about an underdeveloped woman: idk it would've been nice if she had more screentime

hour 100 of thinking about an underdeveloped woman: ok but despite having only eight lines of dialogue she is literally THE most interesting nuanced and tragic character in the entire series and these writers had no idea what they even had. how is no one else seeing this it's literally so objectively obvious

i remembered this interview with daniel handler recently (from just after the end was first released). and like, i think of course that the way it ended up was perfect as-is, but there is something so appealing to me about the idea of them returning to olaf’s house in TPP - and under what circumstances, looking for something specific, perhaps under kit’s instruction? what does he have that anyone could want? - with a whole world of new knowledge about vfd and chef’s salads and the complexity of the world putting everything into a new perspective. it would’ve been great.

there is a line i wrote in the babybea fic that i DISTINCTLY REMEMBER writing as a reference to something lemony says in, probably, atwq. here's the thing. i can't find the fucking sentence in canon

actually i will comment. j and b sharing a smoke after, and their fingers keep tangling as they pass it back and forth. b speaks french, and thus remarks about an old saying, seemingly wistful in the morning fog. there’s a polite pause as b is allowed to take his swig of the cigarette, but a quick glance at j dissolves them both into a fit of laughter. when f finds them, they’re very much in the same way, still half dressed, and still half crying, gasping for air, their cigarette all but done.

not for the first time I am thinking about lemony, smoking outside the hotel denouement next to the taxi. lemony who smokes and doesn’t remember the exact sequence of events that led him to start, but knows he was young when he did, that he was addicted well before he was meant to have been allowed to buy them for himself. lemony who starts smoking only a couple of years after he remembered having some youthful idea that he would never be foolish enough to, and adults shouldn’t be encouraged to, until the world taught him that it wasn’t as simple as that and he changed his mind. lemony who once in his youth thought at least it gave him something of an air of mystery. but now it’s just another curse, one he doesn’t have the energy to try to break.

so often I lose my mind thinking about jacques snicket saying "a day is coming soon when all of our enemies will be defeated" while knowing full well that there will always be fire starters but also really truly believing that if he does just one more noble act that maybe maybe that will be the one that brings about that day when all of their enemies have been defeated

[cyberpunkboytoy]

So there's the idea of "kitchen table poly," AKA "everyone in the polycule needs to be able to sit at a kitchen table together and get along like friends."

One of my roommates just came up with a counter idea, which is "poker table poly." Everyone in the polycule must be enemies. No one is allowed to get too chummy or they're kicked out. They all also likely owe eachother money.
