#unsophisticated

[random-bookquotes]

And there is a very wise saying that only the young are unsophisticated enough to see past the mask to the truth and brave enough to speak it aloud.

Mercedes Lackey, Intrigues (Valdemar: Collegium Chronicles, #2)

I went for an offline class in school today, god i don't think students can ever maintain a proper social distancing.

How can you teach someone to maintain distance when in the name of social distancing they are hitting each others balls

Unsophisticated

1993

[j-august]

The head waiter, presenting for inspection a plate of Blue River Trout, helped the monocled man and his companion and retired, leaving them in the privacy which unsophisticated people always seek in genteel teashops and never, never find there.

Dorothy L. Sayers, Unnatural Death

there have been two things that have been bothering me for a while about nol’s character, and both have to do w the way he’s diverged since i first made him

the bigger one is that i think of him as a “soldier” rather than a “knight” -- there’s some major differences in the way those titles carry. it’s a direct result of using wwi-themed research to help develop him. im trying to think of him with a greater authority than the anonymity “soldier” holds, so im starting to train myself to think at least of “officer” until i reach “knight” again. its strange n uncomfortable to think of nol as an authority bc he can be unsuited to it, which is.....exactly the point ive forgotten n need to regain

the other is his astuteness. nol’s never been clever or well spoken, but i need to handicap his formality attempts more. coerthas needs to show in him more than the ways the city has changed him. his speech needs to be more bucolic than informal when set against his polite formality. instead of using his ruggedness as an insecurity abt his social vulnerability, i need to capitalize it more as a part of him that can be a charm-- after all, the people he interacts with 90% of the time won’t see it as an issue/smth to exploit
