Today's word of the day is...

Servile

[Adjective]

Definition: Displaying an excessive willingness to serve/please others.

Example Sentence: Joseph's servile nature was beginning to become tedious.

[j-august]

SCANDAL: No, turn pimp, flatterer, quack, lawyer, parson, be chaplain to an atheist or stallion to an old woman, anything but poet. A modern poet is worse, more servile, timorous and fawning than any I have named: without you could retrieve the ancient honours of the name, recall the stage of ancient Athens, and be allowed the force of open honest satire.

VALENTINE: You are as inveterate against our poets as if your character had lately been exposed upon the stage.

This has never been as pertinent as it is right now!!

Part of the reason why TSCIR is so funny is because it's primarily from Yoojin's POV. Meaning that we are privy to his thought process, so everything seems like it makes sense.

Like "Ah I'm about to kill these people so they won't be able to tell anyone what I say, perfect opportunity to get some stuff about regression off my chest!"

Or "Hmm I just got kidnapped, and two born s-classes are fighting below me eradicating the landscape while I'm riding a dragon... perfect time for some cheesecake!"

And "Oh they're kidnapping me? Perfect, lets use this chance to steal everything of value and then blow this joint sky high!"

Or maybe "They accuse my brother of violence? MY BROTHER? No. I'll show you VIOLENCE. If you're gonna do it do it RIGHT." And uses a dragon to smash their shit.

And while you're in his POV, it's like of course. Why wouldn't you. Take this perfectly logical course of action.

And it's only when you take a step back and consider that you realise that there is literally no one else in the world who would react this way.

kind of very fitting Daniel's last act in a Formula 1 race of his career is playing second driver to max. doing a fastest lap he can't even benefit from beyond taking a point for max. for the team he stomped away from at the peak of his career claiming he won't be a second driver to a child, now that's his defining legacy. to come crawling back after he got fired the first time and made to play the role he was only now happy to. for the team that didn't even let him have a proper goodbye weekend beyond that one netflix moment~

That "I am the parent and he's the child" line being entirely divorced from its context is the bane of my existence.

Veth says that to a group of people who are convinced that she is a child being manipulated by Caleb, who is her adult guardian. She's cornered, alone, and everyone is trying to tell her that she's being manipulated into acting against the group. It's an assertion of her agency and adulthood. It's a refutation of that specific misunderstanding of their relationship. She is saying that she's a grown ass adult who knowingly allies herself with Caleb above everyone else, and that Caleb is not controlling her.

Please for the love of god, put that line back in the context in came from or so help me.

A few more character designs for the Pride and Prejudice Joseon AU: Mr Collins, Lady Catherine, and George Wickham

I’ve been rereading My Royal Awakening and Crush in Spring and those manhwas gave me a bit more inspo for this au. I couldn’t unsee Lady Catherine in eoyeo meori so I turned her into the queen dowager—which would make for some interesting nepotistic dynamics with her nephews if she favors her own clan in politics, and both Darcy and Fitzwilliam are probably not about that life lol.

Darcy could be a junior official at court where he wears his mask constantly as a matter of survival, or maybe even a scholar of Sungkyunkwan. Fitzwilliam is always gone to the border and only comes home when he’s forced to.

And Mr Collins… *deep sigh* Mr Collins is probably in a lesser administrative position and uses his connection with the queen dowager to crawl his way up the ladder.

pre-ragnarok.

“I want to keep surprising them all, until they die of surprise.”

There are no other pillars on the sweating stone. This strange svelte figment itself could be just mirage; more or less than a scrape of deepsea mine, an oily clot sucked into space.

Its vocal tensions elude to sinking electrical frequencies.

“You're not like that . . . ” (-and inhalations, more like the static in the abyssopelagic-) “ . . . invertebrate. You have real bone. But your face is looking weird.”

It reminded him of something -the invertebrate- would pretend to say, before collapsing over him every razorwire rib and fold.
