Can I just say that I have been absolutely adoring your Royal Reports? Your analysis is on-point, and you sprinkled in some great comedy as well; I think your line about Theo harnessing the Speed Force during the tournament is what got me to go “I’m DEFINITELY following this blog.” Thank you for bringing us on this journey with you.

I’m really glad you’re enjoying them! Funny and informative is exactly the intersection that I try to live my life within. 

I’m sure I’ve said this before on here but I grew up eagerly reading recaps of shows I watched--Bones, Buffy, Dollhouse, Survivor, Lost--and I loved getting to relive the episodes, get the takes of the recappers, laugh at their snark and running jokes, and see if they freaked out over the same stuff I did. It’s so interesting to see how another person contextualizes something you both watched. 

The fact that I’m on the other end of it now and people care to read what I put out is still kinda surreal and I appreciate the shout out. 

also:

haha, I liked that line a lot too so thanks!

As someone who is caught up with ACOC, it is a wild trip reading your liveblogging. I want to comment on things SO BADLY, BUT I DON’T WANNA SPOIL ANYTHING AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

literally this is the most insane thing I’ve ever seen I’m constantly screaming I don’t know who to trust and at this pt I just got to the cathedral fight so I trust nobody but I think that calroy is responsible for a lot because I decided his vibes were rancid the moment I met him and when he was trying to glean info from Lapin in the 3rd ep hmm :// anyway I know two pcs die already and I know 100% who one of them is and am fairly certain on the other bc it’s impossible to avoid spoilers at this pt bc I’m too far behind + I know about saccharina existing BUT idk when and I know there will be more twists I won’t expect and I audibly gasped when plumbeline lied and said the emperor named ciabatta king. anyway I don’t want to sleep anymore just acoc fjsjsjak

darkchampion replied to your post “Decided I’m done being a good student and trying to get internships...”

This review reminded me of the hole in my chest where my childhood innocence used to be, and now I’m genuinely tearing up.

if i have to have these emotions then So Do You!!!!!

Any info on how strong a hermit crab’s uropods are? Like, how much force would it take to tug a hermie out of its shell? Is it possible to do without killing the crab?

Nope, the crab will win or die trying. I don’t know precisely how strong the uropod and associated muscles are but they’re very good at what they do.

Hermit crabs competing for real estate have been known to fight each other out of a shell, but I think that’s more a case of “alright fine, not worth dying over this, just take it asshole”

Seeing as we’ve got a lot of people wishing Doug Ford was dead right now, I’m morbidly curious: what are the rules in place for succession if a premier dies in office? Would it be like Pence taking Trump’s place, and we’d just end up with a different PC stooge?

Lets not encourage violence, but I’ll answer this the best I can.

For the Federal Government they have a contingency built in. I’m not sure if its the same for the provinces:

It's been more than a hundred years since a prime minister has died in office, and while no one expects anything to happen to the very fit Justin Trudeau, his office is required to make one "in an abundance of caution" change for the Privy Council every time the cabinet is shuffled: updating the prime ministerial line of succession.

Yes, just in case the worst were to happen, the last thing you want in a crisis is to wonder who's in charge.

Past prime ministers have opted to order the list based on preference, but Mr. Trudeau has gone for something simpler: seniority. The first two people on the list are the same as before: Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale, who has served in Parliament off-and-on since 1974, and Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay, who's been an MP since 1988.

Abigail is a sweet baby bean and she deserves many dragon spouses. Does she have any preferences regarding her SO? Gender, physical features, breath weapon type?

Dragon. That is her preference.

:3 Don’t matter to her which.
