This has to be one of the sleeper funniest Harrow lines. Saying "at the end of the night" instead of "at the end of the day" is such Addams Family, cartoon villain, opposite-day shit. Gideon is so right about her secretly practicing her big dramatic exits.

Something really violent about eating a burrito. Biting a hole in that thing. A sandwich or a taco is different, it's already open, but a well-wrapped burrito is like a complete living thing in your hand, the taut skin protecting a complex network if internal organs. And you put a hole in it, maul it for sustenance, like a wolf on the open plain tearing the throat from a living gazelle. Or perhaps like a guy living in an infested apartment catching a white rat in his hands and just biting into it.

R.J. STEWART: We embraced the lesbian subtext with unbridled glee. Hearing that there were Xena nights in gay bars around the country cracked me up. That was perfect. Our general rule was ride the subtext whenever it makes sense. Everyone did that, so there was very little need to talk about it. Remember, we had a movie to make every week. Writers meetings were about breaking story and we did a hell of a job doing that, didn’t we?

In the olden days, when people asked me if Xena and Gabrielle were gay, I used to say, "I'll leave that up to the fans." But 30 years later, the fans have spoken. They're definitely gay now.

I guess the idea of a companion animal that would eat your flesh is supposed to be upsetting but critically she doesn't do that while I'm alive. which I'd argue is the most important factor here.

im honestly surprised (not really surprised considering what website this is) that i haven't seen anyone on here talk about Lil Nas X getting violently arrested after suffering some kind of mental health episode. I wish he was getting more attention and support.

I have no strong feelings about Hamilton the musical one way or another, but the sentence "I wasn't aware that was something a person could do" is such a perfect way to precisely express the kind of "not judging, just baffled" response people sometimes inspire in me with their antics and activities.

'the greatest reveal in the history of media was-' no. the greatest reveal in the history of media was in the novel Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones (1986), wherein after having spent the entire book up to this point in the fantasy land of Ingary, where fairy tales come true, it is revealed that the real reason that Howl is so odd, so strange, so different from everyone else is that he is not, in fact, like everyone else. and this is not because he is a wizard, or a layabout, or heartless--it is because he is Welsh. as in, he is from modern day Wales. as in, he and his pals from Magic World go for a quick trip to visit his family in Wales, circa 1984-6. and suddenly everything about Howl Pendragon aka Howell Jenkins suddenly makes a lot more sense
