who else up losing your mind bc you remembered our morty is the only one who came into existence naturally without being specifically made by/for rick and he also just so happens to have the strongest and most genuine bond with rick. tfw rick loves morty so much he tries to recreate him over and over . rick went throughout his whole hunting prime thing seeing mortys every now and then and never really seeing the appeal but then he meets morty prime and hes like Holy Fuck it’s like getting hit by a truck everything he’s known gets flipped upside down bc this kid is the first real thing he’s seen in lifetimes but like also he’d still love morty more than anything in the world no matter what even if nothing ever happened and they were just a normal family

how would you go about getting a friend to read a 7000 page, 551 chapter novel. theoretically.

Okay I'm going for a genuine answer here instead of an easy joke; let's go.

Starting on a personal note, the most crucial thing is that my friends know that they always end up enjoying whatever I recommend (my hit rate here has dangerously inflated my ego, btw). Secondly, I never shut up about ORV. Even when I'm not being Loud about ORV I'm almost constantly going "Wow this is just like ORV" completely seriously. It's kind of an issue if I'm being honest with you. Thirdly, if they ask me if the length is worth it I say "hands down." No hesitation. Zero doubt. Trust. And so all of this together tends to do the trick.

As for how I bring up and recommend ORV to individual people, I usually tailor it to the person. Sometimes it's an elevator pitch ("it's like a fusion of X and Z that you like!"). Sometimes I talk about certain interpretations or allegories ("ORV as a whole functions as an earnest allegory for--and outright depiction of--trauma, it's cycles, and healing from such."). Sometimes I'll hype up a specific character I know they'll love (my go-to's for this are usually YooHanKim (they are a set), JHW, Anna Croft, and Bihyung, based on the person). It'll just depend on what sort of thing tends to initially hook the one I'm talking to.

All that being said, if you want a detailed and specific pitch, @ot3 has written an amazing spoiler-free ORV post that opens up with a couple of pitches, so I recommend checking that out--either to link to people directly or draw inspiration from in your own ORV recommendation efforts! Also just like...Read the post. It's Good. 👍

And there you go! I hope this arms you well for how to get someone to read ORV. Now go out there and get their asses.

the contrast between the english speaking side of the fanbase celebrating they/them raian vs the jp fanbase having a collective heart attack bc paruko didnt clarify she was quoting raian in the dialogue until her final 2 lines and was using 'boku' seemingly out of the blue is so fucking funny

"You are too hasty, sir," she cried. "You forget that I have made no answer. Let me do it without further loss of time. Accept my thanks for the compliment you are paying me. I am very sensible of the honour of your proposals, but it is impossible for me to do otherwise than to decline them."

"I am not now to learn," replied Mr. Collins, with a formal wave of the hand, "that it is usual with young ladies to reject the addresses of the man whom they secretly mean to accept, when he first applies for their favour; and that sometimes the refusal is repeated a second, or even a third time. I am therefore by no means discouraged by what you have just said, and shall hope to lead you to the altar ere long."

"Upon my word, sir," cried Elizabeth, "your hope is a rather extraordinary one after my declaration. I do assure you that I am not one of those young ladies (if such young ladies there are) who are so daring as to risk their happiness on the chance of being asked a second time. I am perfectly serious in my refusal. You could not make me happy, and I am convinced that I am the last woman in the world who could make you so. Nay, were your friend Lady Catherine to know me, I am persuaded she would find me in every respect ill-qualified for the situation."

"Were it certain that Lady Catherine would think so," said Mr. Collins very gravely—"but I cannot imagine that her ladyship would at all disapprove of you. And you may be certain when I have the honour of seeing her again, I shall speak in the very highest terms of your modesty, economy, and other amiable qualification."

"Indeed, Mr. Collins, all praise of me will be unnecessary. You must give me leave to judge for myself, and pay me the compliment of believing what I say. I wish you very happy and very rich, and by refusing your hand, do all in my power to prevent your being otherwise. In making me the offer, you must have satisfied the delicacy of your feelings with regard to my family, and may take possession of Longbourn estate whenever it falls, without any self-reproach. This matter may be considered, therefore, as finally settled." And rising as she thus spoke, she would have quitted the room, had Mr. Collins not thus addressed her:

"When I do myself the honour of speaking to you next on the subject, I shall hope to receive a more favourable answer than you have now given me; though I am far from accusing you of cruelty at present, because I know it to be the established custom of your sex to reject a man on the first application, and perhaps you have even now said as much to encourage my suit as would be consistent with the true delicacy of the female character."

"Really, Mr. Collins," cried Elizabeth with some warmth, "you puzzle me exceedingly. If what I have hitherto said can appear to you in the form of encouragement, I know not how to express my refusal in such a way as to convince you of its being one."

"You must give me leave to flatter myself, my dear cousin, that your refusal of my addresses is merely words of course. My reasons for believing it are briefly these: It does not appear to me that my hand is unworthy of your acceptance, or that the establishment I can offer would be any other than highly desirable. My situation in life, my connections with the family of de Bourgh, and my relationship to your own, are circumstances highly in my favour; and you should take it into further consideration, that in spite of your manifold attractions, it is by no means certain that another offer of marriage may ever be made you. Your portion is unhappily so small that it will in all likelihood undo the effects of your loveliness and amiable qualifications. As I must therefore conclude that you are not serious in your rejection of me, I shall choose to attribute it to your wish of increasing my love by suspense, according to the usual practice of elegant females."

"I do assure you, sir, that I have no pretensions whatever to that kind of elegance which consists in tormenting a respectable man. I would rather be paid the compliment of being believed sincere. I thank you again and again for the honour you have done me in your proposals, but to accept them is absolutely impossible. My feelings in every respect forbid it. Can I speak plainer? Do not consider me now as an elegant female, intending to plague you, but as a rational creature, speaking the truth from her heart."

"You are uniformly charming!" cried he, with an air of awkward gallantry; "and I am persuaded that when sanctioned by the express authority of both your excellent parents, my proposals will not fail of being acceptable."

To such perseverance in wilful self-deception Elizabeth would make no reply, and immediately and in silence withdrew; determined, if he persisted in considering her repeated refusals as flattering encouragement, to apply to her father, whose negative might be uttered in such a manner as to be decisive, and whose behaviour at least could not be mistaken for the affectation and coquetry of an elegant female.

at this point a combo of working (and enjoying) a very public-facing job, and being a child of the internet, has made me numb to some fuckin Wild patrons.

like i answered the phone today with a "hello this is sam how may i help you?" and get the cold open of this patron telling me "you dont sound like a sam."

like idk what to tell you sir theres samuels, theres samanthas, and then theres fools who dont hang up on your sorry ass immediately named sam.

later in the conversation when i told him we couldnt drive over to his House (his personal living quarters!) to pick up the sewing machine hed like to donate (with our own city vehicles!). because. like. this is a Library. he asked me, in response,

"do any men work at the library?"

and when i didnt respond fast enough because what, he REPEATED

"do any men work at the library?"

bro. the sewing machine being heavy is not the problem here

anyway i dont need to watch dramas i just clock in and become a side character in a sitcom written by a monkey w/ a typewriter.

planning my dc trip and i'm mostly going to be at the national gallery of art for the rothko exhibit but i' m also looking at other places i might go and their merch offerings to check for baseball hats

clearly baseball hat-making tech has improved in the past few years because more places have hats than ever before BUT it's mostly white text on black hats which is just mind boggling

the namesake industry, baseball, has had it figured out for years that words < logo-ized letters < non-word/non-letter logo

most teams have the misfortune of having a stupid names that aren't associated with any image (what, praytell, is an "athletic" or a "phillie"?) so those teams go with a stylized version of the city's initial(s) (I think Oakland, bless her heart, is the only one that goes with the stylized initial of the team name so they have "A's" instead of "O" on the hats)

teams that are lucky enough to have an animal as their team name have the animal as their primary hat logo as well. The cardinal on a baseball bat, the oriole wearing its own baseball hat, the bluejay with the maple leaf. Even red sox hats will often have a pair of red socks on them even tho socks are not a cool animal and imo the "B" hat is something any masshole can wear while the actual socks logo is just for the baseball fans. Also special mention to the houston astros, they do have an "H" on the hat but by god it is in front of a fucking star

and yet museams, which sell loads of artwork on apparel so like clearly they already have designs that they're allowed to put on baseball hats, and a lot of it is one or two colors and geometric, v easy to embroider onto a curved piece of fabric, and yet the the guggenheim puts at best a "G" and at worst "GUGGENHEIM NEW YORK" on black hats with white thread and calls it a day
