I used to really like the ✨ emoji but now she's best friends with AI and I feel like I can't trust her anymore

[vacuously-true]

NO do NOT let them win. We can save her. We can wrest her association back from AI. She doesn't deserve this and we can't abandon her.

let’s take a moment to appreciate the dedication these two had for hand-holding even when they were getting their grooves on

i had a 4 hour drive today so i put on the revenge of the sith audiobook and the part where palpatine tells anakin to kill dooku came on right around the time that i saw a cybertruck and for a brief and beautiful moment when he said "do it" i had the urge to ram my honda full on into that shitty ass car

i have to believe that one day i’ll live in a place where i can paint the kitchen green and take care of a fluffy animal and make salmon whenever i want it and love someone who loves me enough to call me from the grocery store to see if i want anything. i have to believe

jacques snicket's tattoo

this can easily be dismissed as a consistency error, stylistic choice, whatever... but walk with me here and pretend that he truly had his tattoo on the outside of his left ankle, not the inside.

jacques is the VFD golden boy. he's their pet, really. i don't think there's any member more indoctrinated than him (on the "noble" side) and that's important. jacques "they let me finish my tea" snicket.

i think his tattoo being incorrect would be a great source of turmoil for him. it isn't perfect and he has to be perfect.

but at the end of the day, with VFD, perfect loyalty never guarantees belonging or correctness.

was he loyal? absolutely. so much so that i doubt he thought much about what he was doing. his entire framework of what is and is not noble is based off of what VFD taught him, and he was taught their were noble, so if VFD says jump, he says how high and goes a foot higher.

part of me wonders if he ever felt like he belonged, though. and if you asked him i'm sure he would say absolutely. but i think it would take perhaps one event of isolation for this to quickly fall apart, and much like lemony without beatrice, without VFD, who is jacques snicket?

a visible sign of imperfection, one that may have others questioning if he is really one of them, must be torture to the man.

new revelations on this subject...

when i made this post, i had the books in mind, but i'd be lying if i said the show doesn't also influence me.

i had @whocouldthatbeatthishour send me this screencap from TAA where olaf's tattoo is on the outside of his ankle, despite it being shown on the inside in TBB and TWW previously

now i hate this a lot mostly because i'll bet it was some stupid production decision or had something to do with NPH getting the actual tattoo between S1 and S2 (but why not just use his actual tattoo?)

we talked about this for a bit, albeit it was mostly just me complaining about it, but they brought up the point that it's possible he has more than one. that doesn't seem far fetched to me. all of their tattoos look bad anyways, being done rushed and on children.

i don't have a lot of watsonian thoughts about at the moment largely because i am just irritated, but this is certainly worth examining in the future and i would love to hear thoughts.
