since manfred is learning to read (+ speak), and spite/cole both like being read to, i thought it only made sense theyd have a little unofficial book club :) unfortunately some picks are more... ahem... educational... than others >_>

i knew it was going to be rough, but choosing to save minrathous over treviso as rook de riva is actually brutal

i want to talk about how crazy this line "brown like the gaze that sought jean out in every room" actually is. because what does this mean????

jean has noticed that whenever jeremy walks into a room he immediately does a scan to find jean. so what? these boys are so attuned to each other already that jean actually notices jeremy looking for him?

nora are you trying to say that there's a shift in jeremy once he finds jean in any given place?? does his body relax? do his eyes soften or shine a little brighter? you're telling me it's a physical visible thing that jeremy walks into a room and his first thought is "where is jean?" and then what?? when he finds him he goes "ah there he is" and there's a shift??? in him??? when he sees jean?? and jean can see that? he's aware of it?? he's noticed it?? it makes him feel safe enough to associate jeremy's searching brown eyes (searching for him. for Jean.) with everything else that brings him peace??? like are we hearing this???

or am i crazy? am i deluded?? am i losing my senses???

today at work one of the guys who i SWORE was queer mentioned his wife and i can never say to him "wife??? i thought you were gay" because i'm not out at work and it will read like a hatecrime. instead we started talking about weed and he said his first time ever taking weed he took 100mg (for context: apparently A Lot) of it and was sitting on a discord vc with his friend (also took 100 mg) and felt like he had been turned into an alcohol wipe. and then his sister walked in and started talking but his friend on vc didnt realize that and so was freaking out going "WHY DO YOU HAVE A GIRL VOICE???"

I rewatched Zuko and Azula's Agni Kai recently and it's left me wondering – when Zuko begins to goad Azula into striking him with lightning, was he making the decision to kill her?

Because had Azula shot lightning directly at him like he planned and not at Katara, the most forthright implication to me is that he was intending to strike Azula with her own lightning. And Azula, for all her mastery, would not have been able to counter that.

On the other hand, maybe he wasn't planning to kill her at all and was simply planning to redirect it elsewhere (similar to what he did with Ozai). But given the tone of tragedy throughout the Agni Kai, the fact that they both acknowledge that this fight will be "the end" to them, I don't think it's inaccurate to read Zuko's actions as him preparing to kill Azula, even though an Agni Kai doesn't have to end with death (and in canon it didn't). Also, why goad her into striking him with lightning if he wasn't planning on doing something intentional with it? If anything, it adds another layer to the tragedy to me, because I don't believe Zuko wants to kill her. And it stands in such contrast to the way that Azula desperately wants to kill him.

I also think that there would have even been something sadly poetic in that sort of demise for Azula should the Agni Kai had gone this direction: Azula, struck down by her preferred sub-skill. Azula, struck down by the very bolt of lightning that she intended to kill her brother with. Azula, struck down by her own power.

praying for jean moreau because how does one casually explain to their love interest that “I liked you long before I ever met you” ?

Bethany Hawke got the entire teen girl experience when she was socially radicalized by her older brother’s mentally ill communist friend. She was told a sentence of theory and was so ready to jump on the mage rebellion before her ass got dragged to the circle.

me and my friend went out briefly tonight and started talking to a group of lads and one of them started talking about his sister's upcoming wedding.

and then he looks at me and asks: can you get married?

and i'm here like... i dont even remember your name actually. it's a very busy pub and we've been talking for ten minutes but, "yes... trans people can get married."

and he was like 🤨 and said "i dunno what that means, i thought you were just gay"

and 🧍🏻‍♂️🧍🏻‍♂️🧍🏻‍♂️ wdym i spent ten minutes talking to a FOURTH YEAR POLITICS STUDENT AT MYYYY UNI who just wholeheartedly looked me in the eyes and asked if gay people can get married and also maybe??? doesn't know what a trans person is???

a win is a win tho. i think this means i pass.
