since moving here ive noticed europeans have no concept of how few americans ever leave USA. every american tourist youve met is of an economic crust that is vastly unobtainable to the other like. 85% generously. no matter what you have believed i can guarantee this. even getting to canada isnt really a possibility and the mexico-US border is highly controlled and militarized.

to put it into perspective. a ~2 hour flight from london to warsaw is like. 30 to 45 USD?

and a 2 hour flight from one US city to another would be about 130 USD

it was very cheap to fly here. i make over 100k USD now and i dont know if ill ever be able to afford leaving. if that gives you an idea of how prohibitive travel is here. i havent even touched on how the US has Zero guaranteed holidays by the govt. many people here go years without ever having an entire week off of work

this has had a like. massive impact on American Brain and they dont even know it because travel isnt even a consideration economically. they dont even know how much more vacation time european countries have guaranteed

The thing about criticizing children's shows, analyzing children's shows, engaging with this stuff as an adult on any level, is that on some level it's silly to put the text through the wringer in the same way you might with a work aimed at an older audience, because it is, you know, a children's show. But on the other hand more effort, craft, and sheer man-hours have gone into the shittiest kids cartoon you can name, than I've put into any project in my entire life, so it's equally deranged to claim that creative intent and messaging is somehow absent. Schrodinger's cartoon- simultaneously That Deep and Not That Deep

Helloooo, I would be really intrigued by the "Her Night/Honeymoon" one! Is it the four hour one or their ACTUAL honeymoon? Feel free to tell me all about it!

HIIIIII okay so I listed all those stories because they've been bouncing around my head like rubber balls and then I looked in my wip file to see what I had for this story and all there was was "Hen Night" and literally nothing else when I swear to fuck I had written something so I had to take a couple days to actually put down what was in my brain

Here's the outline with some loose written bits:

Three sections to be filled out further Vastra POV Third person Lines of Communication -Post sewer adventure in Trespassers 2 Ep 2, the gang compiles a comprehensiv-ish map of the sewer system to help them in their cases, Strax eager to explore it. V and J decide they ought to go together bc there's people there and Strax does not have the gentlest bedside manner -((Also figure out why Jenny was so disparaging of the sewer folk when we know she's a street rat herself. It really goes against most popular characterizations of her as a woman of the people.)) -Vastra had seen a version of Jenny in the sewers that lost her ring. They communicate (!!!) to create a system/password codeword of something only the two of them know in the event they ever get swapped out for dopplegangers again. _ _ _ Hen Night

Aka a wonderful moment before Jenny gets replaced. Excuse to write the two happy drunk. This is what I have actually written: They were wise enough not to have the hen night right before the wedding. Vastra can not fathom wedding bells when her head decides to stop swimming and heave itself onto hard dry land. The pubs of Miss Flavisham’s youth are changed since she was a girl, or at least only serve old timers and Jenny takes charge of leading the group of increasingly drunk women through her old networks of clubs for Toms. Laughing and collapsing into the pillows, sweat and stink from the night. Don’t know how we got to this bed or how you managed to just remove your corset My brain is fuzzy but there is the woman I love. I’m going to marry her, this exquisite person. This is going to be my wife. Both hungover the next morning but still willing to help each other out in the morning. The smell of Strax frying bacon and eggs as they gather at the kitchen table with their head in their hands. Strax's voice making everyone flinch and groan. Jenny smirking at Vastra from across the table and gratefully accepting a cup of tea from the booming Sontaran. Vastra realizing that Jenny is thinking just what she was thinking last night: This is going to be my wife. To be loved like this is almost unbearable but what a joy it is.

_ _ _ Honeymoon aka Four Hours in Luton aka "I haven't seen you consume any liquids in 2 days" Jenny didn't drink at the reception. She raised her glass in gesture of a toast but didn't drink. She does not drink all night but indeed the phrase goes that the "bride never eats" and of course who would want to eat all this aspic and of course who would drink on such an empty stomach? In the carriage home Vastra knows something is off. She had expected to see the look Jenny had given her from across the kitchen table three fold. It never comes.

Once in the house Jenny starts to make suggestions leaning towards the "wedding night" and Vastra asks her the question they had formulated that no doppleganger could possibly know. Jenny evades the answer and Vastra suggests that they hold off until the honeymoon, she's planned a surprise. Vastra alters the travel plans. They had initially planned to go to Paris but Paris can wait. A layover in Luton is due first.
