#memorable lines

"Hey, bub."

-------

This is what came up when I sat with thinking of memorable lines from the second installment of 'Zootopia'.

When Bear and I got to that scene in Marsh Market where Nibbles consults Russ on where to find Jesus, I was trying to figure out what it was.

Then someone commented that Russ is basically from a group of walruses that just says that phrase. But later I was reminded that Russ asks Judy if it was their anniversary. Which brings me to the explanation that it's a way to highlight how certain people enjoy talking about nothing, and that's the way to connect with them.

Like....

Me: Wow, it sure is a pouring.

Them: Apparently it's going to be like that in th next three days.

Me: Would be a good day to shop!

Them: Yeah, less people. I do that too.

PS: Bear also mentioned that the notable line that I latched onto was the character Patrick Warburton plays....

"They say justice is dead. I say, neigh!"

I think I was really delighted by the line after watching a clip of Patrick record it. I didn't even notice it during my first viewing. That I was likely me cracking up that the horse did his slow motion thing.

(I'm surprised that Windancer doesn't have a first name. That it's not on the Fandom Pages or even in writeups about Patrick or his character. I did eventually find it on Wikipedia!: Brian Winddancer)

“When I think of my wife, I always think of her head. The shape of it, to begin with. The very first time I saw her, it was the back of the head I saw, and there was something lovely about it, the angles of it. Like a shiny, hard corn kernel or a riverbed fossil. She had what the Victorians would call a finely shaped head. You could imagine the skull quite easily.

I’d know her head anywhere.

And what’s inside it. I think of that, too: her mind. Her brain, all those coils, and her thoughts shuttling through those coils like fast, frantic centipedes. Like a child, I picture opening her skull, unspooling her brain and sifting through it, trying to catch and pin down her thoughts. What are you thinking, Amy? The question I’ve asked most often during our marriage, if not out loud, if not to the person who could answer. I suppose these questions stormcloud over every marriage: What are you thinking? How are you feeling? Who are you? What have we done to each other? What will we do?”

– Gillian Flynn, Gone Girl

This opening has stayed with me since the day I first opened my copy of Gone Girl. I tell ya, I aspire to make a great hook like this every time I start writing.

it will always, always be the way that your writing absolutely destroys me with the FeelsTM, even in the middle of filthy smut 💖

Stoooooop this is so nice 🥹🥹❤️❤️ I am a big proponent of filth ‘n’ feelings!

You’re writing? OMG… it’s gotta be the introspection and Feels. Your words pull me in like nothing else. Any fandom you drop into is blessed by the way you magically weave words and crack open the characters like emotional eggs.

And of course, He could create something with her, he thinks. But he knows they’ll just end up destroying each other instead. is always at the back of my brain 💞🦛

I DO love poking around in characters’ brains. It gives me great joy to poke them with a stick and see what happens.

And of course twist yourself around me, the schitt’s creek/crazy ex-girlfriend crossover that wouldn’t stop harassing me until I wrote it down. That fic holds a special place in my heart.

Thanks friend!
