"My ma says that if you let Xenia from Palaiokastro Street look you in the eye at the market, you won't be able to keep anything down for a WEEK."

"Oh, that's nothing. She definitely stared right at my dad's horse last year."

"The one that DIED?"

"Yeah!"

"Shit."

[Image description: A younger Xenia stands in profile, looking off aloofly. She's got short bangs and a ponytail, and is wearing spider web earrings and a shawl, as well as a nose ring.]

The boy most certainly did not get the clue. Unable to hold still for any amount of time even when he wasn’t excited, Patrick began talking at record speed, gesturing wildly and bounding around the room. Not once taking his eyes off his father. Which meant of course he was running into the furniture and walking right over whatever happened to be on the floor, regardless of what it was.

Patrick didn’t even bother giving Atlas a clue. Simply began talking.

"So I went int’ one’a Mr. Fontaine’s labs today an’ there was a tank full’a like… yellow stuff an’ when no one was lookin’ I went and looked in it an’ ya know what was in there? Do ya!? It was a person. They had people in the yellow stuff an’ then I started pokin’ around ‘cause I’m sneaky an’ no one ever sees me an’ I found a Big Daddy helmet but it didn’t have a Big Daddy inside it was jus’ th’ helmet an’ why do ya think they had a Big Daddy helmet layin’ around when there’s men in yellow stuff? Do ya think the men can breath in there?"

He really should have Pat-proofed the room, but at least there's nothing truly dangerous on the floor. There could have been bombs or needles or all sorts of things that he's still not sure how Patrick's avoided running into so far.

But more importantly..

"What in God's name were you doin' at Fontaine's?" It's about the only thing he's managed to follow in this conversation, but he's having trouble moving past that. He scrambles over to grab his son and pick him up, before he breaks something. And Pat gets a look of fatherly concern. "Pat, y'can't go runnin' off if you're gonna be hangin' around there. That's Ryan's turf. Y'understand? I- whatever y'found there, people, big daddies, whatever it was, y'ain't goin' there again. Can ye promise me that?"

I don't think Beren's a particularly proud guy. He's a pretty relaxed, friendly person at the best of times, and even when he's feeling awkward or out-of-place he deals with it by being very polite or just quiet. He's also not a leader at all; he's used to either taking orders or operating completely independently. He tends to become very devoted to the people he follows (Bregolas, Barahir, Finrod), and that's how he likes things to be. Most of his pride is tied up in what he thinks of his family, which is why he reacts badly when someone insults them (like Thingol did that one time).

Does anybody else out there think that Rosalind and Marie Curie would've been friends/pen pals/something?? Because think about it, both of them were super intelligent female physicists (well, Marie Curie was also a chemist but w/e) at a time where women in any field of work were looked down upon. They would both need all the support they could get. 

But, like, just think about it:

Late night experiments

Telling physics related jokes

Being all-around science buddies.

Does anybody else think that it's possible for some sort of mother/daughter type relationship with Rosalind and Little!Elizabeth? I mean, somebody had to take care of little baby Elizabeth and teach her to read and write and all that other stuff.

It's also mentioned that Rosalind was the only one allowed to see Elizabeth so maybe its sort of kind of possible?

"...you don't really think that, chu. You know it's not true," Namiechu told him, ears lying back. "Snap the hell out of it, Teddi. You're hysterical and not thinking straight."

“No… no… monster monster monster monster monster monster monster…” he mumbled lowly. He wanted to bang his head against the wall, but he used aver drop of will power to now with Namie on his face. He didn’t want to hurt her. or then he’d truly be a monster.

still the saddest fucking thing about celegorm how ruthlessly cheerful and ridiculous he is even when he is a psychologically crumbling mess on the inside like actually probably aredhel dies and cleeg just goes quiet and retreats into his room for a day and the next day he's just like

"YEP WE'RE FINE ALL'S GOOD YEP" and steadfastly refuses to discuss his feelings 

and I'm not sure where he's gotten the idea that his feelings are always, always less important than most anyone else's (particularly his brothers) and that he's not allowed to express them because naturally of course cleeg's very expressive and emotional but he represses his sadness so hard after the oath and everything and just

I want to sit him down and be like "IT'S OKAY YOU CAN CRY IF YOU WANT TO" because it's like he's just got this manic energy barely masking the fact that he's kind of a mess internally and UGH IT HAPPENED AGAIN GUYS

Okay, i was looking through some mythology about crows when i noticed that in some cultures they're seen as tricksters. So that got me thinking: WHAT IF Rue actually really really wanted to play harmless little tricks on people, but her father didn't allow her to. But now that he's dead she realizes that there's nothing holding her back and just goes on a pranking spree through the palace after she and Mytho return to the story.
