The difference between the openings of Jane Austen novels are so funny. Specifically, the difference between Pride & Prejudice and Emma (because these are the ones that i have read).

Pride and Prejudice opens with the iconic:

"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife"

Beautiful, poetic and sets the scene for the entire book wonderfully.

Emma opens with:

"Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and happy disposition, seemed to unite some of the best blessings of existence"

Straight to the point, bold and you already know this is going to be a very intersting character. She's pretty, she's smart, she's got more money than you could ever need, she's the best person in existence. Its like how in Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen says that the character of Jane is like the most beautiful and perfect of the Bennett sisters.

I haven't finished Emma yet but this contrast is so funny to me

there was a guy in my drama school who was a former Olympic gymnast and he was insanely ripped and could do shit like backflip and the splits no problem, and one day he was walking around on his hands and i was like, “damn i wish i could do that!” and he said,

“No you don’t. Not really. You don’t wish that you had done all the shit I had done to be able to do this. You’d like to be able to do it without the practice.” Anyway he explained how he had done gymnastics even from when he was a tiny kid; always missing out on stuff and doing it after school; being away all the time, being a bit of an outcast; been injured several times; won a few competitions but also had many crushing losses - and just generally all the things he had to do before he could do that. And it made me a lot happier about where I chose to put my time, and I appreciated more the things I could do that he wished he could. And whenever I see someone and I’m like, “FUCK I wish I could sing like her, or look like that, or have those talents!” I remember my buff gay gymnastics Gandalf

illicit affairs by Taylor Swift is about a shrimp

"You showed me colours you know i can't see with anyone else"

Sounds like shes talking about those shrimp colours

I know its been said before but I've been rewatching Sherlock and it's just so good. Especially the acting. Bunkerdill Crumblesnatch's performance is honestly exceptional, its also funny when i just see him as Smaug.

There's nothing like messaging someone because you're in the mood to talk to them but they take hours to reply so when they do reply you're no longer in the mood to talk to them thus distancing yourself further from them even though its the distance that makes you not talk to them

What's funny about Squid Game is that its so good that i literally cant watch it. It is so well written, directed, shot and acted that it feels so real and i just cant get through it. I've watched the first 4 episodes and i have just been sweating constantly and shaking. Its so good but its so anxiety inducing. So i probably wont be watching the rest. But i would totally recommend it

Why did i only just realise that in the song "Puff, the Magic Dragon" by Peter, Paul and Mary, Little Jackie Paper gives Puff sealing wax, as in wax that you seal envelopes with. When i was like 7 and i listened to this song religously on my mp3 player, i thought it was ceiling wax and i just went along with it. Like who the fuck puts wax on ceilings.

An art piece i want to do but im not skillful enough for: Maeve and Otis's kiss in the rain, and theyre stood at the centre of a ring of fire. Their relationship hurts so many other people: Ola, Jackson, Ruby and Isaac, hence the flames. But despite that, it is them both accepting that they want each other and it is beautiful, painful and glorious.

A very quick and terrible artist's rendition:

Olives are the second worst thing to come from Greece.

The worst thing the Greeks invented was thinking.

[thepearlvalkyrie]

Way too many thoughts, head overflowing

There is no way for the tva to exist and have nexus events happen sequentially. So if the tva exists outside of time and can see the entire timeline, all nexus events should happen simultaneously. If the tva runs parallel to the timeline then they can prune nexus events as they happen, but in the show they jump about the timeline. Also there should be an infinite amount of nexus events so the tva has an insurmountable amount of work to do.

Also wouldn't Sylvie's existence really just be Laufey having a nexus event so he should be pruned instead.

I get that all time travel is difficult to write and be logically consistent but this has really been bugging me

Happy Last Kiss day
