I want twelve seasons and a movie

went into a wine shop the other day to buy pasta and they did not have pasta but they were doing a wine tasting so i thought what the hell. and got to chatting with the other woman there because we had both just come from the library and were comparing our books and sipping wine and turns out we’re both teachers so we got on the topic of phones in classrooms—and the guy pouring our wine was like ‘that’s actually a point of contention in one of my divorces right now.’

and i very delicately said ‘one of your divorces?’ and his eyes got really big and he said I’M A PARALEGAL

He’d probably set the children the charity was for on fire, but honestly I think that’s a point in his favor

ciel would do tax evasion using charity but i think the charity he does would promote systematic change and that's why he deserves to date the pretty demon 🩵

Your “I think the best, most human thing in the world is humans doing silly things together” post was my senior quote

This is such a baffling honour to receive that I don't know how to respond. I had to Google what being a senior (assuming US schooling as the context here) even means - you're graduating high school by Scottish standards? Holy shit. I'm very grateful that the determined positivity I try my best to foster against the horrors resonates. I'm a 25yo moron I got so little advice for teens uhhh. Don't ever take anything you can't spit out, physically and metaphorically. Call/text the people you care about whenever you find yourself thinking about them. Consider becoming transgender if you haven't already. Keep on being silly, and above all be kind.

I once had a psych professor say he wouldn’t respond to an email unless it had a sign off, so i would look for excuses to email him and kept signing off with weirder and weirder phrases.

First it was mild; best, warm regards, God be with ye

He didn’t comment on them, so they got weirder; fearing for my life, actively running to your class, praying for you swift return

Still, nothing. So I came up with: dreading your imminent reply, praying that you did not get replaced with a tech savvy penguin, warm regalia

One day I got professors mixed up and accidentally sent “screaming, crying, throwing up” to my Anth professor and “sincerely” to my psych professor. To which he replied

My vote is for Dune

We should do a reverse goncharov and just decide a movie doesn’t exist

How many dinosaurs do we even have?

You ever listen to a character playlist and think “Jesus, whoever made this has such a galaxy brained understanding of this character… I wish they didn’t like Eminem.”

Watching the Journey to the West 2010 adaptation and Wukong begs Sanzang to free him and that’ll he’ll protect him ect etc. There is some doubt that Wukong is lying, but Sanzang chooses to believe him.

I’m sitting there thinking ‘is that something the shows like to add or is that actually in the book?’

So I got get my copy of the first book and look it up. The answer is mostly yes. Wukong does his whole speech and Sanzang is delight to meet him. The hunter/woodsman asks if Wukong is lying and Wukong denies it. Sanzang frees Wukong.

Not once does Sanzang think Wukong is lying. He instantly believes him despite the fact he is trapped under a mountain for messing with the Buddha.

This is the first example of Sanzang’s blind faith that people are good, even demons, that they’re not going to lie to him to get what they want.

It is his blind faith that sets Wukong free and it is that same blind faith the puts him at odds with Wukong over and over again .

Wukong is agitated by that blind faith, the same blind faith that saved him in the first place.

Sanzang could have said ‘no, you’re a demon. You must be lying,’ and leave most definitely ending with his death somewhere.

But no, he believes Wukong and Wukong is truthful.

Think about it. This crazy monkey demon that turns out to be OP as hell that was trapped under a mountain for 500 years by the Buddha himself is telling you the truth. Blind faith scored you this kickass monkey. It’s just reinforces your blind faith is right.

Now I can hear you saying ‘he never believes Wukong again’ and you are absolutely right.

Here’s the thing, people don’t react well when someone tells them something they believe in is ‘wrong’.

Wukong repeatedly says that ‘this person is lying. Let’s not help them.’ (There’s usually more explanation than that.) Sanzang in turn thinks Wukong is lying because he’s contracting his belief, a belief that set Wukong free and though Wukong is ‘bad’ he is keeping his word by protecting Sanzang long the journey still reinforcing the Sanzang is right.

There are people who believe so strongly in their belief that not matter how much evidence you put in front of them won’t change their minds.

Sanzang was right once. Wukong was telling the truth when he said ‘free me and I’ll protect you.’ It wasn’t in a way Sanzang approved of, but he wasn’t lying.

Wukong is a walking example that Sanzang’s blind faith was right and can be right again. (I don’t think it was, however that’s not the point)

I think I lost where I was going with this.

I will reiterate that Wukong struggles with Sanzang’s blind faith but it’s that blind faith that saved him in the first place which is ironic as hell. That’s probably the whole point.

I would also like to say that I am not justifying or defending anyone’s actions. Everyone needs to go to therapy.
