How ya doing down there on your own, The Odyssey by Homer?

i don’t grow out of my interests they simply become absorbed into me as i get older like tree rings

I'm in awe of how we ran historical revisionism on the civil rights movement so bad that people truly believe it was quiet self-sacrifcial non-disruptive christ-like activism that forced progress and not — like — the incredible economic pressure of boycotts and outbreaks of illegal civil disobedience

Yapping to the choir but eughhh it burns me up girl effective protests have to be loud and inconvenient for change to happen because silent cries die in the dark that's the entire pointtt

I finally read the Screaming Staircase book and while it's been fun to compare and contrast it against the 3 episode Netflix arc, there is one book moment that is clearly superior.

At the end of episode, when Skull speaks to Lucy for the first time. Lucy is so overcome by the psychic connection that she full on faints requiring George and Lockwood to carry her upstairs. I'd accepted that until I read the novel in which Lucy hears this gross this ghost man whisper weird shit from within his glass prison about life and death and whatever. And Luce - who'd just run downstairs to grab extra treats for their impromptu celebration - says "nah I'm not dealing with this today" closes the jars speaking valve and leaves.

I will always support Lucy Carlyle being That Crazy Bitch and I love her So Much.

Bit telling that for years and years evangelical religious extremists have been allowed on university campuses with their bullhorns and horrific imagery where they harass students into physical altercations and when students complain to the university’s administration they just shrug their shoulders citing freedom of speech but when those same tuition-paying students start protesting against war and genocide they call SWAT

locklyle & their orphean katabasis bullshit

TSS - Lockwood pulls Lucy away from going down into the well. Descent avoided.

TWS - Lucy descends into the catacombs to save George. Lockwood follows.

THB - Lucy descends falls down under Aickmere's. Lockwood follows.

TCS - Lockwood goes across the bridge. Lucy follows.

TEG - Lucy ascends to the top of Fittes House. Lockwood--obviously--follows.

funniest character dynamic in the world to me is when you have one guy knows hes gay but doesnt realise hes in love with his best friend and another guy who knows hes in love with his best friend but does not know hes gay

it’s monday i’m in the labyrinth

i know there’s a lot of criticism around the “i’m just a girl” meme but the one i have more beef with is the “this one is for the guys” when it comes to like. throwing a big rock in water or whatever. excuse me i love that shit pls label it “this one is for the guys and also anna” thank you
