I genuinely understand how the Baudelaires felt when Count Olaf committed all his crimes in poorly concealed costumes and claimed innocence while everyone around them just accepted it.

This is a post about US politics.

#yknow how when you listen to songs so often that you don’t notice them anymore #and then you go awhile and rediscover the song and are like. HOMY SHIT.#yeah. need to do that with mcr now #and fob #and panic #this is why the bts phase is kicking in #personal

Random: I love the implications of the fact Ben managed to win Looma’s hand. Namely that 1) the whole engagement challenge thing isn’t a ‘the first man who can beat you’ so much as the last man who can beat you, and 2) there’s seemly no time limit on this as long as the challenge is issued before the marriage is finalized. These aren’t short engagements either, three years Earth time as what seems to be The Way It’s Done is a good chunk of time. So like, I have to assume that’s on purpose.

I mean, you need time to plan a wedding, yes, but if some bastard could steal my wife away up to the moment ‘you’re man and wife’ came out the officiant’s mouth I would want to make that time period as short as possible. A three year engagement would not be happening. So, gotta assume that’s purposefully time for other guys to try their luck. Which is just, amazing. What sorta cultural shit comes from that? Do you think it’s traditional for the groom’s family to guard the entrances to the venue from non-relatives lest shit like Ben happens? Fuck, what sorta cultural shit leads to that? Because it’s not like it’s finding her the strongest man, they’re not fighting each other. Guy B could be weaker than Guy A and as long as he’s still able to defeat her he’s good.

Just, gods that’s gotta be interesting when you dig in the culture.

#tetramand #headcanon kevin was hedging his bets on this #like was sitting there going 'i beat her i get the engagement present then somebody is sure to come and beat her and i'm good'#'she's a princess of course somebody else is gonna come along'#'damn good engine with only a relatively minor risk to life and limb and no long term issues'#which is still dipshit behavior but also a hilarious image #him just sorta waiting on that 'yeah sorry the engagement is off' message #except tennysons and heroing and issues with his powers and this whole thing with gwen happen #and he wasn't worried about it in the first place so it just slips his mind #suddenly argit is texting him 'you know you're due to marry looma in two months right?'#and Panic #spends the next few months in a cold sweat with alerts set for every news agency that covers this shit #keeps having to lie through his teeth to gwen that everything is fine #because he *really* does not want to mention that he's been engaged this whole time #fingers and toes are crossed #prayers are being prayed #''hedgehog'' ''i'm not covering for you on this one earthboy i want to live and told you to stay away from red in the first place'' ''fuck''#''i'd like to point out this was all your idea'' ''you didn't have to encourage me!'' ''hey *one* of us was gonna have to marry rich''

DWJ’s writing style

First part: Slow and introductory descriptive and very beautiful

Second part: realizing there are actually more problems to solve than initially seen

Third Part: oh fuck what why is that and that and that happening again????

Fourth part: absolute chaos as everything collides in the end

the end: thank fuck it’s over

Me (with all eight gym badges) retaking the math final in Pokémon for the fifth time because I keep panicking at numbers and I am bad at math in general.

(I’m so sorry Miss Tyme, you are a very good teacher, I’m just dumb and full of panic.)

I think there's also something fun in how Mu Qing tries to distance himself from menial chores and doesn't swear and tries to avoid reminders that he was once low class, while Jian Lan does everything she can to disguise that she was once a noble. They were both supposed to belong to Xie Lian forever, but the kingdom's fall gave Mu Qing the opportunity to stand on his own but ruined her life. They both hate feeling like charity cases for the Honorable people. There's something there!!

There is! They're also both pretty cynical about the capacity of those Honourable men to really value and respect them- like Mu Qing's feelings about Xie Lian and their relationship line up pretty well with Jian Lan's insistence that Feng Xin will eventually come to resent her and there's no way for them to really be a family and have that be a net positive in all their lives. I think there's a chance they'd be able to be honest with each other in a way they can't be with the lawful good jocks they are both clearly very into.
