I really love the chapter in vol. 2 that focuses on Vash's day to day business because it's literally just

•5:00 am: Wake up and think about life

•5:00:03 am: Remember life sucks and juggle eggs for 3 hours instead

If Dutch wasn’t the one who was planning the trolly mission where we only get 15 dollars, I wouldn’t be nearly as mad. If it was just Lenny, I’d be like “still $15!” If it was Charles and Lenny, I would do that for free. But just because it’s Dutch I’m like “UGHHHHHH.”

The Great New Orleans Fire was a fire that destroyed 212 structures in New Orleans on December 8, 1794, in the area now known as the French Quarter from Burgundy to Chartres Street, almost to the riverfront buildings.

one thing that is Niggling at me with rivers of london is. peter grant is a guy who Believes In Policing, which is an ideology i do not personally hold to be true but is also a mostly coherent worldview that makes sense for him to have. except. except! his approach to magic is specifically and explicitly going "okay but why does it work like that", and as someone who has that same kind of compassionate curiosity it feels like a disservice to not have him ask those same questions of the criminal justice system. especially when he is a working class black son of an addict.

like, on a meta level, to be clear. the thing about policing is it IS actually impossible to prevent people hurting others. and we do actually need a system to deal with the after-effects, and that system does need to be formal & somewhat at a remove. the problem is who holds the power in that system and how they use it, and the underlying concept that punishment prevents crime, and how cultural change is slow and difficult. it rings very true to have a guy who on some level doesn't really believe locking criminals up helps anyone in the long run, but has decided it at least helps in the short term and he is okay being the guy doing that. peter Wants To Help, and it does scan for him to decide becoming a cop is how he can do that.

it's just. to then have him join the unit run by a guy who was born before they repealed not just capital punishment but the capital punishment of children. so the concept of Deserved Consequences very much comes up, and continues to come up, and it is an ideological leap to go from "people who have committed crimes do not deserve to be killed" to "people who have committed crimes do not deserve to be imprisoned", and it does make sense for peter not to make it when it would require him to quit his job at the least. but also he spends so much time thinking 'but why does magic work' and absolutely no time thinking 'but why do people do crime' and it's jarring. can we at least acknowledge it's something he's purposefully avoiding yknow

Ah, gotta love that early August smell of wildfires and fresh asphalt sealant

Quarter Life Birthday Wishes

At twenty five, I know August is for impulse  as heat is half of desire.

My blood is warm during the day and always boiling at night,  calling for someone’s cool breath on my neck. A man loved me this year, but the only time I felt wanted  was when another called me just lovely and  looked at me like a vulture  primed to tear open my rib cage. I am reading A Streetcar... again. The first time I was seventeen, roused by rage and unsure why. Blanche speaks to a mirror. I joke out loud,  “She’s just like me.” The room is vacant besides these sweaty pages in my hands and the pale blue fire inside me. Like Mitch, I want “what I’ve been missing all summer.” Just some peaches and a bare chest to bite into.
