Cheating with signatures which tend to illegible anyway but I've always been a fan of the one by the former dean of my uni:

I was rambling on the issue of museums and human remains and how certain populations are more likely to have their bodies put on display to be gawked at and then went "well I guess the Pompeii casts were of Europeans. there are bones in there right?" and Googled it to make sure, at which point I confirmed that yes there are bones in there, but more interestingly DNA testing revealed that a cast of an adult holding a child everyone assumed was a mother and child were, in fact, a man and a kid entirely unrelated to him. Honestly that's more moving to me. Maybe they were connected in a way other than blood, but maybe a stranger saw a child when the world was ending and thought the one thing he could do was hold them.

"hey why are all the barrier garments like linen shirts or chemises or combinations going away?"

"oh we have more washable fabrics now! you don't need to worry about sweat reaching your outer clothing when you can just chuck it in the washing machine!"

"cool!"

[100 years later]

"so uh all of those new washable fabrics are leaching microplastics into our water, and the constant machine-washing wears garments out faster. they're also not really sturdy enough to be mended, so we keep having to throw them out and now the planet is covered in plastic fabric waste that will never break down. also it turns out that the new washable fabrics hold odor-causing bacteria VERY well. so could we get those barrier garments back please?"

"sorry babe linen now costs $100000/yard and since it's been so long without them, nobody knows how to adapt barrier garments to the current styles anyway"

"..."

"maybe try this new $50 undershirt made of Special Sweat-Wicking Plastic Fabric! :) :) :)"

Been thinking about Claudia and judgement — specifically how much she hates the idea of being judged / being submitted to what she perceives as other people judging her / how often she shirks wrongdoing — as well as her consistent parallels to Runaan.

and how Runaan leaves at first in S7 to reconcile with family, and then returns to Ezran to face justice. To face judgement.

A king must look into the eyes and hear the words of those he judges. (7x07)

And it makes me think of how one of the most full circle things for Claudia both as a character and as a parallel to Leola (of which Rayla is also a foil in S7 for) is for her to face judgement / face her own sort of trial. It means admitting and owning up to her wrong doing, her mistakes, willingly offering herself up to judgement (Ezran's, but also perhaps of others, in a direct contrast to 3x02). It means that unlike Leola, she's not innocent, and they all know it. And unlike Leola, she's spared — because humanity and breaking the cycle means second chances and being better than the Cosmic Order. It means Aaravos won't have another daughter die — and that Claudia, like Runaan, can continue to learn and grow and live.

AMAYA: I had to work to unravel all the prejudices, all the hatred I'd learned in my upbringing. It wasn't easy, but it was worth it.
