reading 'the secret history' by donna tartt for the first time, so here are my thoughts on the prologue through chapter 1:
[CONTAINS SPOILERS] obviously
— it is so spectacularly written that i don't even care how much richard complains and talks about nothing because it reads so nicely
— john richard papen is queer (derogatory (for him))
— francis abernathy is queer (canonically(??))
— henry winter and professor julian morrow are queer and i don't care that henry is a legal adult, i do not like whatever they've got going on with each other
— people probably want bunny corcoran to be queer (probably because his name is bunny and what straight man would ever go by bunny?? and also because he's dead), but he is not, i fear he's just pathetic and loud (so far)
— there is something very sinister about professor julian morrow, i do not trust that fugly slut
— nevertheless he does eat when it comes to in-class discussion
— i should probably read more greek classics
— also do not trust richard, i know first person povs pretty much always entail unreliable narratives, but this man seems particularly not at all reliable
— also also do not trust bunny,,,, idk he just seems too nice for the company he keeps and that doesn't make sense (well actually he does end up dead so,,)
— actually i don't really trust any of them,, it's probably because the book opens with murder, but there's something very unsettling about everyone and everything
— again donna tartt is a wonderful writer

i wish the winchesters had had way more strange folksy rituals rooted in the lore. they SHOULD have been grappling with their own faiths way more explicitly and deeply. they should have been covered in tattoos of protective sigils, protective oils rubbed into their hands, charms woven into leather bracelets and necklaces.

there’s absolutely nothing better than reading a 100k word fanfic, that is until you remember you have a body that is starving, thirsty and incredibly sleep deprived and hasn’t used the bathroom since the sun set 8 hours ago

If a worker who isn't the owner says ANYTHING similar to "I'm not really supposed to do this but-" and then does something that helps you, under no circumstances inform the business, including through reviews. You tell them that the worker was polite, professional, the very model of customer service and why you like to go there. You do not breathe a word of the rulebreaking.

Fem!anakin has big tits. Absolutely huge boobs. She hit puberty and BAM. Seemingly went to bed flat chested and woke up with these big ol' tits.
Obi-Wan internally panicked and had to run out to find a supportive AF bra for his poor padawan
She is also just as tall as her cismale counterpart. A tall 6'2" (187 cm), long legged, curvey, lean muscled, angelic faced, hot mess of an absolutely feral beast
And I love her 💕
