This lovely child’s coat appeared in the 𝑫𝒐𝒄𝒕𝒐𝒓 𝑾𝒉𝒐 episodes 𝑯𝒖𝒎𝒂𝒏 𝑵𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆 and 𝑭𝒂𝒎𝒊𝒍𝒚 𝒐𝒇 𝑩𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒅, where it was worn by Lor Wilson as Lucy Cartwright.   But that wasn’t the first place this costume was worn.   The coat was first seen in the 1987 adaptation of 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒆𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒕 𝑮𝒂𝒓𝒅𝒆𝒏, worn by Gennie James as Mary Lennox.   Have you seen this coat somewhere else?

One of the things I love most about Lord of the Rings is that it's a story about people choosing to do the right thing simply because it is right. Like, there's nothing special about Frodo except that he decides to carry the ring. He's not particularly better equipped than any other hobbit, he's just the one who says he'll do what has to be done. And throughout the story, so many of our characters do the same. Someone has to do this, so I will.

But he changed places with me. He tricked it. Death. It took him when it came for me.

Imagine visiting a neighbour's apartment for the first time and everything they own seems to have a label sticker on it, labeling what it is. Like everything. You're sitting down at their table for coffee when you finally gather up the courage to ask why, exactly, does their toaster have a label on it that says "toaster".

And they just shrug and nonchalantly explain that oh yeah, my roommate is an immigrant, new to the country and still learning the language, so I figured that it'd be useful to have little everyday vocabulary scattered all over in places where they'll see them every day.

So you're relieved that there's a sensible explanation but kind of incredulous because these things are fucking everywhere. You noticed a doorknob that has a sticker saying "doorknob" on it, and the table you two are sitting at has separate labels for "table", "tabletop" and "table leg" on it. Is the labelling some kind of a long-time hobby they keep doing or did they do all of this all at once?

And they laugh like ohh of course not, no way I could've done all of this myself. I let the other neighbour's kids do it. I borrowed two different label makers from a friend, handed one to each kid and told them that the one who can label more things around the apartment wins.
