I can tell - you just started watching Miss Fisher, didn't you? I love that show! Do you ship Jack/Phryne with the fire of a thousand suns yet? ;)

oh, i actually watched it a while ago (and am currently on my third rewatch because i’m doing great things with my life).  the stuff i reblogged just turned up on my dash in the past few days.  it’s pretty delightful, and i think i shipped them almost instantly.  :)

i really should read the questions ahead of time when i reblog these

17. talking to amaryllis.  she had just entered the world of the wakened.

28. an istj.  also, a machaca burrito.  preferably an istj who will bring me a machaca burrito.

Plutus, Venus, Bastet. :)

i feel like they took the names i’m familiar with and added syllables.  /squinty eyes

Plutus: Do you have a job?

not even a little bit, unless you want to buy an EXCELLENT HAT.  which you do.

Venus:Have you ever had your heart broken?

i suppose so.  not in the, i don’t know, disney sense?  shattered, ripped, thrown out, stepped on, etc.  nothing that’s lasted a great length of time.  it’s a little battered and cracked in a few places, but i always manage to fix it up again.

Bastet: Do you have any cats?

alas, i do not.  i’m quite fond of cats from a distance, but up close, they make me sneeze profusely.  so i just reblog them, and act like one.  no cats for ned.  (unless you count the stuffed black kitten i’ve had since i was little.  she’s cute and scruffy and i’m actually quite attached to her.)

Horus, Bragi, Vesta, Morpheus

Horus: What is one thing you’ve had to fight for in your life?

i - don’t actually know?  i tend to just take things as they come.  or go.

Bragi: What kind of music do you listen to?

LANA.  i usually forget to listen to music at home, but my car radio is pretty much always on the classic rock station.

Vesta: Do you like being home or do you try to get out whenever you can?

ha. haha.  i mostly stay home, but i like getting out.  it’s mostly just a matter of getting out.  i forget to leave sometimes.

Morpheus: Do you daydream often? Of what?

do i?  i don’t know.  so many questions.  i suppose i do, usually in images and atmospheres and less of actual things.

Don't you think Ravenclaws do that too, sometimes? I don't know who'd be better at BSing assignments than someone who is put in the house that says "wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure." Just 'cause they want to learn doesn't mean they want to learn everything in every class...

a. good heavens you actually gave a well-punctuated response to a casual reblog this was not the message i was expecting

b. i think those saddled with cunning and ambition are much more likely to bs anything than someone associated with a phrase like wit beyond measure is man’s greatest treasure.  slytherins are generally smart*, and want to do well, but they tend to use that intelligence to creatively get out of whatever it is they want to avoid.  ravenclaws are more apt to pursue knowledge for knowledge’s own sake.  that’s where the whole greatest treasure bit comes in.

i’m sure there are individual exceptions, but generally speaking, i think the original post stands.  a ravenclaw might bs the occasional assignment, and a slytherin probably actually studies now and then.  but don’t expect either one of them to admit to it.

c. i’d imagine some of them are mandatory, but aren’t the majority of the classes elective, anyway?  and even for the classes that are required, a ravenclaw will look at them and consider the fact that they’re required as being indicative of importance, and therefore invest their time and effort.  

and now back to reblogging butts.

* i honestly have no idea how crabbe and goyle made it into slytherin.  they are neither cunning nor particularly ambitious.  if anything, they’re much more hufflepuffy in their tendencies towards loyalty.  please note i am NOT knocking hufflepuffs, just pointing out that c&g are terrible slytherins and woud’ve probably been decent chaps if they hadn’t been loafing around with malfoy all the time.  they’re really more misguided hobbits than anything.
