have to go to this stupid three hour training on how to use microsoft teams today but the timing is just close enough to the regular start of my shift that I'm not entirely clear when I'm expected to be where and my supervisor hasn't replied to my texts and I'm just like 😭what fucking time do I need to leave my house😭

Any time I'm watching a show and something happens and I have the clear thought "oh I bet the people who ship that had/will have a lot of Thoughts and Feelings about That" it should almost always be a huge warning sign that it's too late for me and I almost never take it that way

I think it's so weird that there are multiple romcom movies and romance novels about romance writers who get in trouble with their fan base when it comes out that they've never been in love... are there really romance readers who think like that?? maybe it's just because I'm so deep in fanfic culture where lots and lots of writers are aspec myself included but I find that mindset incomprehensible. do you also expect mystery and thriller writers to have experience with murder???

generally I feel really smug when I know a Jeopardy question that none of the contestants knew but in this case I don't feel like knowing about ovipositors is a win for me

My favorite mode of literature is Homeric, i.e. loving descriptions of problematic gay ppl making terrible choices and killing each other

if ghosts (cbs) can say the word polyamory and have the characters agree to try a throuple thing then why couldn't ted lasso

In one story he says he has "forgotten what I am really like. I no longer recognize myself in a glass... Why not avoid the dangers attendant upon a personality that is always the same?" Then a couple stories later he says "I am going to... gradually become myself again. It's all very well to... change your personality as you would your boots... but there comes a time when you cease to know yourself amid all these changes, and that is very sad. I feel at present as the man must have felt who lost his shadow. I am going to look for myself."

A judge says "it has been impossible to reconstruct your identity. You present the case, almost unparalleled in our modern society, of a man without a past. We do not know who you are, whence you come, where your childhood was spent - in short, we know nothing about you. You sprang up suddenly, three years ago, from an uncertain source, to reveal yourself as Arsène Lupin - that is to say, as a curious compound of intelligence and perversity, of criminality and generosity."

Then we hear what seems like a true story of his childhood. Then he sometimes uses his own original name as an alias.

The character of Lupin is a larger than life fascination even to the man Lupin, who investigates himself and dreams about encountering him.

He tells a woman he's interested in that "Arsène Lupin is and can be no one but Arsène Lupin; and not even a memory can exist between you and him."

He's a con man. He's usually very honest. He's a thief. He's a heroic figure. He's admired even by his opponents. No one really knows him. I'm losing my mind.

I just read some of the Arsène Lupin stories (which were fun) and was expecting to be thinking about the show the whole time but was NOT expecting to be thinking about John Silver

I've been enjoying the new Ballroom Thieves album but there's this one line where for some reason I keep thinking Callie is about to sing "I am a flighty CUNT" which is ABSOLUTELY not the lyric and would be very startling to hear if it was

yes, autofill, clearly I was thinking that what this scene in my fic needed was. a website.

A lot of the time when I see people talk about aromanticism they bring up the way a lot of us tend to think that romance is just exaggerated in fiction and are surprised that people feel that way in real life and not just in the movies and that's honestly kind of funny, imagine just going about your life and one day finding out that most people's high school years were actually like disney channel and you're the exception
