fav part of gideon the ninth is for the first pre-canaan house chunk of the book, she's all "ugh I'm so normal surrounded by all these weirdo goth freaks when I blow this popsicle stand everyone will see how cool and normal and charming I am" and then she gets to canaan house and realizes that while she might have been a normie jock in the ninth house she is not exempt from being a goth weirdo who hides important doors behind tapestries and sneaks around in the dark so she doesn't have to talk to people. like we talk about her being a jock forced to be goth but nature v nurture babey she's not shedding that bone freak skin anytime soon

I’m personally imagining Jay and Cole somewhere off in the desert sitting around a campfire. Just chilling silently in the dead of night as coyotes howl in the distance. There is not a single thought in either of their heads and in the next ten minutes they’re probably gonna start fist fighting in the sand again over something petty.
Pixal meanwhile can be seen over the distant horizon in mech suit she built out of rusty pipes and a piece of lint. It’s somehow managing to hold off a giant monstrosity from the depths of hell with one hand while she researches how to make an even cooler Bounty 3 electric boogaloo with the other. She hasn’t interacted with a sentient being in months.

oh my god you know what's killing me about Kaede's execution. her identity is basically wrapped around this common act from professionals to develop a "mask" that attempts to cover up mistakes made on stage with confidence. the performance (the "mask") is many things at once—it's a way to keep the audience's pleasure ongoing, a way to gain control of the stage, it's a way to control anxiety. this performance follows her far to the trials until her execution. the execution is an attempt at deconstructing her performance while stripping her control away; by the rope gripping her neck and contorting her body, her not being able to fix possible mistakes, not being able to control the audience. this execution wasn't just planned out to be torture but to deconstruct her, the near embodiment of performance.

Holyshit same comorbidities ive never met someone who also has mcas before most people seem to stop at eds and pots T-T
They’re all very comorbid with eachother, tbh i just dont think a lot of people know what mcas is or confuse it for other symptoms

I'll have to see if I can pull funny out of this and successfully circumvent the Uncomfortable but situation: Leonys, recently engaged, traveling across Gondor with her fiance in the service of the King, starts randomly asking around about Eomer, king of Rohan (since Lothiriel is insistent that you don't tell anyone it's her asking). This isn't surprising at first, given her Whole Deal, until the questions become a little bit too obviously besotted. This is also not surprising, given her Whole Deal, but it is a bit scandalous. After all, her fiance is right there.

hinata is so cute. he really went:
bamboo shoots made azura smile -> azura's smile is super cute -> i would like to see her with an even bigger smile -> i should get her more bamboo shoots -> i should propose to her while giving her bamboo shoots
he also happens to be responsible for one of the funniest lines azura's ever said:
"i'm sorry. it sounded like you were proposing to me with a bag of vegetables."
