@panicatthedalek and I were chatting and:

Friendly reminder that based on the novels, if Mary Wardwell had literally taken her nature walk five minutes late, Sabrina would have been dead before the series started because Mary wouldn't have inadvertently saved her from drowning.

Mary saved Sabrina's Life!! And this [ gestures vaguely at Sabrina, Part 3, and CAOS in general ] is how we repay her?

Rubbish.

Wasn’t Mary the civics teacher? Why is her class learning about epic poetry? #whatiscontinuity

You’re not the first person I’ve seen saw that but I thought she was a history teacher??

From white-tie avenging Lydia: Can she roll her tongue? What's her favorite soup? If she could turn herself into any three animals at will, which would she like to be? What would happen if Missy went on a road trip with Jake from State Farm?

Lydia – first of all… why? Alright..

1;; I cannot roll my tongue. 

2;; I like hot and sour soup, though I have to take it slowly as it is… hot and sour?

3;; three animals? I’d like to be able to be a warbler, a bunny, or a koala, perhaps?

4;; if Missy went on a trip with Jake from State Farm? Is this a fanfiction request? 

Missy sits, bored, tired, feet on the dash much to Jake’s dismay. It wasn’t safe. And certainly wouldn’t be good in case of an accident.

“You really shouldn’t do that,” he tries to say, as nicely as possible. But Missy tuts him quiet immediately.

“Hush, human, I’m reading.”

It’s true, she is. But she’s already finished the book three times this ride. 

“W-what’s the point of this?” The man asks. He was an insurance man, not a chauffeur. Apparently that hadn’t mattered to Missy. Missy had seen him, with his carkeys, red shirt, and car safety pamphlets and… er… recruited him immediately. He’d been driving her around in circles for hours, and somehow, the car hadn’t stuttered for gas.

Missy laughed musically, mocking. “Why– I’m killing an afternoon. Better than killing for the afternoon, Jack.”

“It’s Jake.”

“Right–” Missy said, tossing the book into the backseat. “Jake of State Farm.”

“From?”

“Hmmm.”

“Well,” he says, nervously as she takes her boots off the dash and settles a bit more… normally, “I’m often called Jake from State Farm.”

Missy snorts. “Why?”

“Ah, I was in a commercial once?”

Missy even snickers at that one.

“What’s funny? It was a silly one off,” he said, defensive. But Missy waves off the reddening of his cheeks.

“Ah, don’t be flustered love. We’ve all done an insurance advert at one time or another.”

“All?” Jake asks, turning the corner back to the office. 

Missy just shrugs. “Sometimes you get offered something to do for a day.”

The car makes it into the parking spot at the front, and Missy claps her hands together with a laugh. “Well, that was fun. That’s Jakey. Anyhow, look up Direct Line insurance adverts one day. I had fun then. And fax me a letter when you’re done.”

Distraction ask 1: is cereal a soup? (Yes, Lena is a troll, but also... genuine question.)

Tam would say… that cereal is not a soup.

Teacup & lace for the cottage core asks! (Because I’m always interested in your musical choices & making you say nice things about yourself is apparently my new hobby... “say something nice!” 😘)

Teacup — 5 favorite songs at present 🍵

Guiltless — Dodie

Mrs Hippopotamuses — Relient K

The Parting Glass — Whoever Sings it but Celtic Woman and the High Kings are really good.

She — Dodie, again

Burn the Witch — Emma Blackery

Lace — 5 Things I like about myself 💕 (Lena, you got me)

My ability to interpret words into podfics or my reading of stories or poetry, I don't like reading things straight.

I have a fair taste in clothing? I enjoy expression through clothing.

My memory for media details and my interpretation of them! I'm pretty good at that and observing patterns.

I like my art! I love doing art and I think I'm fairly good at sketching and some painting!

I enjoy writing and think I'm alright at it! I like interpreting real issues into stories. And I think my skill in meaning makes up for my lack of word variety.

I was just thinking about how the shirt never made an appearance (which... Good). But then does that mean the shirt was MICHELLE’S?! 👀 Or possibly a scene they cut?

(Sorry I’m so late replying!!!) IKR. like, the hair looks like Mary but it doesn’t look like a shirt Mary would wear. I guess it could be Michelle’s but then again she tends to wear more comfortable clothes well possible. I’m leaning towards thinking it was a cut scene rather than a scene from p4 though.

Imagine if Diana were Zelda’s mèt-tèt/spirit guide. 👀

Like instead of Edward when Zelda was in limbo? I’d be so into that, plus it would have gotten rid of the whole “EDWARD DID YOU KNOW??” “We don’t have time for that now” issue lol

Distraction ask 4: (I keep forgetting if I’m calling it “distraction question” or “distraction ask” 😅) What is your favorite thing about yourself?

Oh I see, this was trickery so I’d say something kind about myself – well played. 

Actually, I like a lot of my creative abilities. None of them are so inherent that I just have been able to write or sketch or paint or follow vocal patterns – or...

I think my favourite thing about myself is that I’m passionate about interests. That I enjoy things – and separately but on a similar note, if I’m passionate about something (learning or absorbing), I’m invested in it.
