these but also the canucks broadcast referred to quinn as ‘jacks brother’

You know what I really love? Lucien knows how Elain really feels. Every one else only sees her how SHE wants them to see her. A lot of people have a very perfect, prim vision of Elain. I want to see her become MESSY over Lucien. In a good way, not a bad way. Like she’s so ladylike, she can be a little depraved, a little wicked, as a treat. She can’t hide her true feelings, both good and bad, from him. And I think that’s why she’s so weary of him.

Like, imagine being so usually well composed and not being able to hide your desire, how shockingly strong it is, from a man you basically just met.

my pookie......... 😍😍😍

Some sketches brought to you by Jay posting lesbian-on-a-leash Ed fic today and then not telling anyone.

Okay but what i'm gonna need from Sam Riegel soon (tomorrow if possible) is for FCG to insist on sharing a room with Laudna (and Imogen) bc he "doesn't want her to be alone" as we've seen them be worried about Laudna in the last episode... and then for Imodna to be like "no we're good, we wanna be alone, just two of us gal pals" and for that to raise suspicion for the rest of bells hells bc i don't remember if they've been adamant about being only them sharing a room except maybe in the begining (when they didn't know/trust the hells).

Like they've shared rooms just the two of them iirc but mostly how of habbit i assume and they've not opposed sharing with other party members as well as them iirc. So it wouldn't be THAT weird if they insisted (bc they've just reunited after all), but i feel like it might seem suspicious to categorically refuse that someone room with them now (especially after the extreme pining witnessed from Imogen and the drastic mood change from both of them after the shopping trip)

Spoilers for the NatM 'A Capital Adventure' book ig

Why is Octavius not apart of the Museum of Natural History exhibits??? He's not in the first scene with everyone being shipped out, he's not with the others when Larry sees the exhibits in the cargo crate (though I'm surprised as to how he even saw Octavius then), and then he just climbs into the crate to talk to Custer about getting elephants??? What is the canon for this book then?? Do the cowboys just have a bigger Diorama? Is there still a Rome Diorama? There has to be seeing as they just take him home but what??? Is this why Jed emphasizes on calling him a friend after Oct saved his life???

Oct also never mentions that he's small, like?? I'd feel like if you were a, over 5ft person, and you randomly became like 4 inches tall you'd have questions?? It's clear he n Jed haven't met before since Jed calls him feather hat and doesn't act the same towards him as he did the first movie.. Also, how does Octavius know Jed's name?? I don't think he's ever told it with what we see in text so he probably asked someone about it.. but Oct also never left the crate after Jed did?? But he at some point goes out and saves him then admits to not wanting to come back and fail Jed??? LIke... in this content, Octavius doesn't want to fail this other miniature that he met like less than an hour ago, in which he was called a name and basically brushed off??? He also says he'd swore to help but he didn't?? he only said that he was happy to help, not swearing he would.

So he basically just brought help from Abe Lincoln with no actual reason other than to save this random miniature cowboy that he technically didn't know was in danger and technically didn't know the name of. He also battled and tamed a squirrel for this guy..

Also.. the hourglass scene.

Octavius is panicked over Jed being buried in sand (which is honestly fair, whether you do know the person or not) and the scene is just shorter?? After Jed says he's basically done for, Octavius says- "no need for final words" and breaks him out.. Jed didn't interrupt him and say anything.. Then, Jed says- "Thank you, friend" after Oct helps him.. like.. where did that 50 years of fighting go here??

But then they just take him home?? does Octavius have his own Rome Diorama at the Smithsonian institution?? does he just not remember since he woke up in a archives?? where even was he if he was seen next to Amelia and Custer's horse?? how did they manage to leave a miniature out and away from his other miniature stuff? if that's not the cause, why would they just have a single Roman miniature??

Still, once they're back at the Museum of Natural History, Oct is in Larry's pocket and 'goes back to his place' not too long after.. I'm assuming he joins the other Roman miniatures in the Rome diorama but, how would they respond to gaining a random ass general?? did the Romans fight the westerns and how they have a General?? do they accept him, throw him out? like what.. I need answers.

There is a very specific sort of antisemitism that is seemingly common in mental health facilities and its fucking terrifying

cool activities to do when you’re sick:

lay with cat

stare at your laptop updating for 6 hours

start watching xena warrior princess and immediately cry over it

sleep (spooky dream edition😨)

wake up

sleep some more (weird dream edition)

wake up again

get yourself three (3) different cups of apple juice cause you forgot about the other ones

sleep even more (conked out no dreams completely dead to the world edition)

get better ig

HOLY FUCK HE TEXTED ME

It's a literal crime that my faves are comforting me right now 😭

ngl at times I feel like I may be a little too stupid for this game, truth be told, tbph

i’m sort of convinced that the absolutely best essayists produce new work only erratically.  it is very hard to do all the work of observing/engaging with stuff, then Thinking Real Hard, and then writing some actually-worth-reading piece, on anything like a weekly schedule.  sometimes a person spends years of their life thinking about something and only writes one thing about it.  but it doesn’t matter because that one thing was worth it, exactly what needed to be said

however, alas, the demands of (legacy) publishing and (newer) algorithms disproportionately favor Dudes Who Can Churn Shit Out On Schedule

which is why the most Aggressively Mid Writer of the 00′s Game Writing Scene, Ian Bogost, is writing for the fucking Atlantic nowadays, whereas all the actually interesting, provocative, strange, and generally-worth-reading writers from that era are like. their stuff’s languishing on some mothballed archive on their personal site.  or on a defunct blog.  someplace where people slowly forget about it even though their stuff was always way more daring and novel and just plain interesting than the polished bullshit that builds a career

grumble grumble

"I need them to die in eachothers arms and for it to mean something" then proceeded to make a terrible. horrible punch to the gut

Pls know that 99.97% of the time when I post stuff from my phone, it’s something I hastily typed while waiting for my spouse to come to bed (it has to be hasty so they don’t see me writing it), and all those weird typos are a combination of my fat af fingers & the copious amounts of melatonin I take to gain some modicum of rest.

WAGHDHDHSHhahshz
