You run a café on the edge of life and death. Souls who have been departed from their bodies temporarily, such as in comas or near-death experiences, can relax in your quaint cafe for as long as they need before they can either return to their bodies or begin their journey to the afterlife.

i like sailing myths and superstitions because most of them can be boiled down to "if the ocean doesn't like you it will chew you up and spit out your bones. and if it really loves you it will swallow you whole and keep you forever. good luck 👍"

Every 21st century piece of writing advice: Make us CARE about the character from page 1! Make us empathize with them! Make them interesting and different but still relatable and likable!
Every piece of classic literature: Hi. It's me. The bland everyman whose only purpose is to tell you this story. I have no actual personality. Here's the story of the time I encountered the worst people I ever met in my life. But first, ten pages of description about the place in which I met them.

Love the contrast between the Americans’ “Apollo” and the Soviets’ “Sputnik.” You got the Americans naming their rocket after a Greek god trying to communicate the grandness and importance of this rocket. And you got the Soviets naming their rocket “fellow traveler.” Like a friend you go on an adventure with together. This rocket is our little friend lol

Can’t believe no one has made a RWRB gif set of Henry saying “Alex’s best quality is admitting when he’s wrong…wonderful quality to have” and Alex saying “I can’t believe how wrong I was about you” in Paris.

so here's the thing, i have neither read nor watch red, white & royal blue. all i know about it is that the first son of the US President and the Crown Prince of England date. what I do know about is many of the legalities and processes of giving gifts to the presidential family. a lot of it is more regulations than law and a lot of it is determined by the administration and how strictly they follow protocol but assuming the administration in this world is diligent and adheres to strict policies, oh boy is the idea of a member of the first family dating a foreign head of state hilarious on a behind the scenes bureaucratic level.
cause here's the thing: any gift from a foreign head of state (which includes heirs to thrones, family members of elected officials, and members of royal families) is documented. anything under a certain dollar threshold ($375 during the Obama administration) can be kept, no questions asked. anything over that threshold can be kept if either bought at market value (with money going to the department of state) or filed as part of taxes. everything over the threshold is supposed to be shared publicly via the federal register (example: the 2013 federal register)
but the thing is, even those gifts below $375 have to be documented. so let's say, hypothetically, the First Son and the Crown Prince dated. every single gift given to the First Son would need to be processed by the White House Gift Office. he could choose to keep it afterwards if it's below $375, absolutely no questions asked. but some poor pencil pusher in the white house gift office would need to document every flower, every mix tape, every framed photograph given from one boyfriend to the other. these probably would not be made public due to being below the dollar threshold, but the records of them existing would be saved in the national archives forever.
i truly cannot stop thinking about this.
