today i had a meeting with my boss and he was talking about how he visited a cataloguing department (in a library) (we're librarians) and the cataloguers had like an encyclopaedic knowledge of the dewey decimal system and had memorised all the numbers for classification
so then i said (because i never think before i speak) that i should memorise dewey because if i filled my brain with that, there wouldn't be any more room for the mental illnesses (which i thought was hilarious) (so i laughed very hard)
anyway he just stared at me like i was batshit (which to be fair i am) so if anyone knows of any open cataloguer vacancies lmk because i can never go back there 🙃

One of the hardest headcanons I find to conjure up is what L would be doing with his life if he wasn't the world's best detective with a dad who supports his every whim. I first noticed this when people were talking about putting him in a Squid Game AU, and the thought of L trying to kill other people for money was just really weird and unnatural to me? I sincerely don't think he is actually a money-hungry person, but he also was never shown in a financially desperate state of affairs or anything either. 🤔
Definitely interesting to imagine him with totally different circumstances sometimes as a way of fleshing him out in my mind. I think he wouldn't necessarily have been a good student if he was a successor at Wammy's instead of the original L, for example. Because I don't know if he would ever be motivated to do something like try to take over somebody else's role like that... I think he would much rather just do his own thing and really not want to be told what to strive for or how to behave

a trope that i really enjoy in stories is when an incredibly repressed or tightly controlled character’s mask slips for just for a minute because they’re so overwhelmed by something and you realize that they actually feel things very deeply but can’t/won’t show it most of the time

Still thinking about Hozier and am currently feeling incredulous about the “fairy goblin gentle bog man” perception so many people have of him. WHERE did that all come from??? Solely from Wasteland, Baby???? Listening back to self titled is insane because nearly all of the songs are overtly or subtextually sexual or political, or both! Take Me to Church goes straight into Angel of Small Death and the Codeine Scene, there’s a brief upbeat interlude with Someone New but goes right back into it with To Be Alone. It Will Come Back. Foreigner’s God!! The “goblin”est songs off this album as far as I can pick are In a Week and Like Real People Do, and even those are so much richer than -core ing them enables them to be. For 2014 I’d say this is music that borders on gritty and morbid, it’s not designed to be palatable. AND YET!! The complexity of Hozier’s music being boiled down to an easily accessible aesthetic makes me want to 💥💥💥‼️
