My parents and I were talking about our Bar admissions, for some reason, and they'd both forgotten that my motion for admission, put forward by my brother (also a lawyer) began, "My sister has many issues, but the one before the Court today is that of her admission to the State Bar."
envisioning myself as the creator of my pride for a second… i feel like if i was setting up a pairing where one character has been systemically abused for being disabled and female most of her life, and the romantic interest was introduced to her by…. having said romantic interest mock her for being systemically abused…. i would not have that be the setup for an uwu true love prevails story. i would more likely portray that as nothing clinging onto hover because she’s got no support back home and she’s better than her abusive mother and sisters at least, but the relationship is still not great because both characters are incompatible and do not respect each other, and nothing has been primed to take abuse in all of her relationships anyways. its just another rough journey for nothing to clear, not her happy ending.
just found out that hitting shuffle on preacher’s daughter and sitting down in the shower will not solve all of your problems but for about 15 minutes it will kind of feel like it did
i think that Leopardfoot should still give her son a life. haven’t read the book in years, but isn’t there somecats that Tiger literally didn’t ever know? i personally wouldn’t want to be given a life by a complete stranger who i’ve never even heard of
Well yeah but he's getting a bunch of his lives from the Dark Forest because StarClan does not want to bless him. He wants the lives and will take them from whoever gives them.
He won't say no to a magic life just because it's coming from a stranger. He thinks he's owed the full 9. He didn't even say no to Spottedleaf, someone he knows plays tricks, whose family he killed, knowing she had something sinister in mind. His greed, superiority, and lust for power wins out against all.
no bc when yaevinn said "i'm sorry i'm really awkward over texts. and. in person" and nithral was like "looking forward to it. the texting and the date". god. like the whole meet-cute altered yaevinn's brain chemistry but that and nithral pretty much going "i am offering to do this for you. if i didn't want to i wouldn't have offered. Let Me Do This For You" fundamentally changed him as a person, slowly but surely.
but like that first thing. that "hey i have social struggles and i feel insecure about it" "noted and i'm still looking forward to talking to you bc You as a person are neat"?? underrated mod!nithvinn moment considering yaevinn sees himself as like. kinda just Wrong in general. and now someone like. wants to talk to him. someone he previously perceived as LIGHTYEARS out of his league, no less. nithral is so Cool and Awesome to him that being treated as an equal whose presence is desired is WILD
10/10 now they're engaged-married and they deserve each other
re: that last quote, i feel like there is this predominant take that the boleyn downfall was inevitable in one guise or another, always, due to anne's unpopularity specifically, which i feel like underrates...that her unpopularity, as it were (at least, outside of court) seems to have...for lack of a better word...plateaued? by that year.

i like to imagine while gale is babbling a little after his proposal, olympia just gently places a hand over his heart, smiling, and says "yes, i will marry you gale dekarios", and the two of them just stand there smiling stupidly at each other for a moment before gale grabs her face between his hands and kisses her, and they fall back onto their bed together laughing and smiling
