Mild spoilers for the first couple episodes.

“Three death gods on a boat” and this is the main trio’s whole vibe. They are so great. Please listen to Desperado.

Transcript under cut:

Talia: I was perfecting my routine with two other knife throwers from the circus and had asked a few people to be our test audience.

Shinji: And! Elio was actually included in this number.

Elio: Yeah, as the fucking target. They cuffed my wrists and ankles to a spinning thing and just, threw their blades at me.

Talia: Yeah. Because even if something went wrong, blood shield!

Elio: And for some reason, I had to be shirtless. Wearing a bow tie. Like, they were one step away from asking me to put on bunny ears at this point.

Shinji: I did suggest it.

Elio: Sure. Yeah.

Shinji: I mean, who’s idea do you think it was to have you shirtless?

Elio: Are you kidding?

Shinji: No….

Elio: No, Goddess…[annoyed stuttering] Are you kidding? Because I had to strip in front of an audience every other night for…

Shinji: Are you kidding? Who gets a chest tattoo and doesn’t want to be shirtless?

Elio: I didn’t get a chest tattoo! I killed a priest at the top of a pyramid and it happened.

Talia: Do you not like it?

Elio: Of course I do! Have you seen the details? It’s fucking sick.

Talia: Well that’s that about that then.

Shiji: If you really didn’t want to do it, nobody could have forced you to.

Elio: I…

Talia: What? You know he’s right.

Elio: I just thought…I’d be cooperative…because I wanted to be included.

Talia: See, I don’t think Elio’s a prude, but I bet he has a dozen past lives who are. So there must be some subconscious conflict there.

Shinji: Yeah. Because nobody asked you to throw your jacket at the audience that one night. You were having fun.

Talia: Was one of your past lives a stripper, by any chance? Because I know Samar did not teach you that.

Elio: No, I just felt like doing it.

Talia: Would you like to be a stripper?

Elio: Nope

Talia & Shinji: Awww…

Talia: I’d love to be a stripper.

Shinji: Why’s that?

Talia: Cause I have to kill a god Jiji. I would rather do anything else.

Shiji: That’s not a…that’s not a nickname. No…nobody calls me that. I want the record to show right now that this is not a nickname.

The Wolf 359 live show is one of the best things I’ve seen in a long time. Zach talking to himself, he and Emma doing shitty impressions of literally everyone, and Scotty patting the person beside him as he reveals himself in the audience because they were giggling in surprise, then walking to the front and flipping all the paper off the stand was all pure gold.

Deciding on the next cosplay means in-class planning doodles.

I’ve been trying to listen to this week’s If You Give a Mouse a Dagger for 20 minutes, but I can’t get past 5 minutes in when they start giggling about the toothbrush scene. I lost it.

I was telling my dad that, after 3 days of every spare minute reading, I had caught up to the story I was reading (Fox Country, a marvelous 200k fanfic about spirits, relationships, history, and fate. Don’t worry about the original show, you don’t need to know anything about it), and now I have to wait for the next chapter.

And he goes “They can’t change anything if they publish it chapter by chapter...” and we ended up talking about how it’s like serial stories like Dickens, writing it out as you go. 

It’s not a new phenomenon, brought on by the internet. It’s a tradition of storytelling hundreds of years old. The medium has changed a bit, but we still love our stories. And fanfic authors write them for free because they love it, how amazing is that?

I spent 3 minutes today listening to a teen say what distinctly sounded like “hand job” while telling me about how someone thought she said “hand job” instead of “hand job” and then “Beat It” came on the radio and the boys ended up on the floor laughing.

She was saying “Hand Jive” and southern accents are so weird.

It's very easy to act like a jerk and then say, "Well, I'm a jerk so that's that." But it's not like being a bloody werewolf, is it? It's just you making excuses for your excuses.

“I thought I was going to have to come over there and smack you.”

“Do I get an A if you do?”

“Really? Who here would take a hit for an A?”
