O'Connor really said 'god is a persistence predator and you're being hunted' way before the internet existed. She would've done numbers on tumblr.

Things Beacon Students are No Longer Allowed To Do: Rule 53

53 Beacon students are not allowed to enter false team names into Beacon servers without permission.

53 a No, not even if they’re dating.

53 a i Especially if they’re not dating.

(And before anyone asks, no, I do not want to know what a “polycule” is or why it’s the size of a huntsman team. I had to deal with that shit with Taiyang “entire team” Xiao Long, I’m not doing that ever again. - Prof. Goodwitch) (Wait, Dad did what? - Yang) (…ask Professor Branwen. - Prof. Goodwitch) (Fuck you, Glynda. Yang, when a team loves each other very much and is drunk as hell… - Prof. Branwen)

53 b Students are reminded that team names are generated based on first names, not on what sounds best.

(Ozpin, we already banned this, we don’t need to clarify how to break the rules better. - Prof. Goodwitch) (Its the principle of the thing, Glynda. JSPR is a good color name but if you’re going by Ms Schnee’s first name it would be JWPR. - Headmaster Ozpin) (Oh god please don’t tell me I’m being shipped with 3 other people. - Weiss) (You, me, Ruby, and Pyrrha, specifically. - Jaune) (…well there could be worse partners. At least that one’s somewhat based in reality. - Weiss) (Weiss they mean “partners” like…sexually. - Jaune) (Oh I am well aware of that. - Weiss) (I’m sorry for that Ms Schnee, hopefully this will make people less weird about it. I still have no idea why everyone so obsessed with “shipping”. - Prof. Goodwitch)

53 c While technically conforming to team name conventions, students and staff are now banned from using the team name “Jew-Rap” (JWRP) on campus.

(What the fuck is wrong with you people? - Prof. Goodwitch)

How do genetically accurate warrior cat artists do it and keep it exciting like half of ThunderClan should be orange at this point.

Leafpool and Squirrelflight? Orange.

The Three? Orange. Hollyleaf could have been a tortie.

Sparkpelt and Alderheart? Orange.

It's orange cats all the way down y'all are doing the lord's work finding ways to keep them recognizable but also genetically accurate

Modern AU woes. Intending to murder Javert was the most fun Enjolras had at the barricade and I'm just gonna take that away from him and his pals.

Gonna be really awkward for Oisin to wake up from his rage-induced brainwashing only to find he got his entire family killed...

Do we know when Nargothrond’s entrance way was named? Did Orodreth start calling them the Doors of Felagund as he was punting the murder cousins out of them?

(Galadriel has passive aggressive down to an art and I’m pretty sure Finrod is just as good when he feels petty…I just like the idea that the Arfinweans all have a savage streak that mostly expresses itself verbally. Like they will fight like demons in battle if they need to but the angrier they are the more likely they are to call you an idiot in 3 different languages and increasingly archaic language. If you really push them they might curse you in iambic pentameter. Everyone tries to ignore the fact that they have this in common with Feanor even if his default veers towards is linguistically and literally stabbing you).

okay so obviously trying to drink your blood without your consent is problematic, but tbf what the hell was astarion supposed to do?

confess he's one of the most hated creatures in faerûn, beg you "pretty please don't drive a stake through my heart, also would you be so kind as to allow me a teensy sip of your blood?"

Anyway if you're a lesbian and you like Hien Rijin congratulations, you're correct

Whoever says that reality is stranger/more interesting/more fascinating/any variant of "makes for a better story" than fiction has clearly never been part of the Romanov fandom.

For real, this sketchy evil murderer guy Yurovsky wrote that he had burned or buried two of the children's bodies separately from the rest so that the bodies could not be identified and for years after they found the first 9 bodies everyone was coming up with the most creative and interesting reasons for this, reasons that totally make sense btw (Were there two survivors? Was there only one but the murderers hid one extra body apart to HIDE this? What happened? Who was the survivor? What happened to them? Is it a famous claimant or some other historical person whose probably fascinating story is yet to be uncovered? Do they have descendants and if so where are they? Or what if two children survived but were sadly eventually recaptured and killed? Further tragedy!).

And then they find the two missing bodies and it turns out there was never some interesting secret to uncover, the bad guy was simply telling the truth. He buried the two bodies separately so that the rest could not be easily identified (Basically to cause future researchers trouble). And it fucking worked.

For real, imagine if there was a "mystery" novel where the whole so called "mystery" is uncovered, told to you the first chapter, and it is the most obvious, least compelling and interesting theory ever. And then the plot thickens with other much more interesting theories. And then in the end it is revealed that the first boring-ass spoon-fed theory was right all along.

Lame.

Anyway, point is: Writers (Any genre btw), don't try to be "realistic". Tell a good story.

I had all these thoughts on the subway about how being leftist for religious reasons means I'm low-key a Christmas curmudgeon (or at least like, north american commerical Christmas culture, joining the war on Christmas on the side of the war, tbh) and how it's not my fault my depressive temperament and obsessive tendencies mean I've always been a sorrowful mysteries girlie anyway, smthn smthn John the beloved, agony in the garden, betrayal of a kiss, why have you forsaken me, the endless waiting of the vigil Saturday, the stubborn grim foolish hope of Magdalene in the garden. Its not even about the promise fulfilled it's about the agony and the waiting and the virtue of hope when it is not smthn reasonably hoped for

But also. Maybe. Sometimes. I should just shut up!! Keep up the mystery to be cool or whatever
