this isn’t how it happens
I don't know what you're talking about.
I would never stay up way past reason to colormatch tlt houses to the hemospectrum. nuh-uh.
frankly biggest under-discussed overlap between baru in masquerade and harrow in tlt is a protagonist who people somehow see as femme because they have a love interest who more people see as butch, despite both characters being...either very fucking butch too or just not fitting into those categories precisely
hell, baru being butch in a very specific way in terms of sexual dynamics she likes playing into is a major fucking plot point!
my favorite part of the barbie movie was when margot robbie made out with a nun and then killed god
the locked tomb is a book series about how there is only one chronically online guy left in the universe who created a society comprised entirely of chroncially online guys who arent aware that thats what they are
(for anyone unaware: the twins' names were originally going to be cainabeth and abella)
if you have a more in depth reasoning than either of these feel free to say what that is! super interested in any theories
ok rereading nona the ninth and i can't believe this never occurred to me but. the kids know about resurrection beasts. they know varun the eater by name.
but like. of course they do. this is what people are constantly being "resettled" over, isn't it? it's not just the war. the lyctors move people off populated planets to flip them. of fucking course beautiful ruby knows what a resurrection beast is. even if he doesn't understand it, even if he doesn't know it by that name, of course he would know what it is. of course these people have names for them.
i can't believe i never considered this before. the children of the nine houses are raised not even knowing about them. harrow, with all her appetite for learning, with an entire library of nasty, forbidden little books at her disposal, had never even heard of them until she became a lyctor. but fucking kevin knows what a resurrection beast is. he knows their names, because he has to.
john has spent ten thousand years keeping them off his precious houses, and he did that by leading them straight into the path of populated planets. this isn't even subtext. we knew this. this isn't new information. i had just never really thought about it in those terms before.
jesus christ, john.
"Isn't it weird that [thing humans commonly eat] is poisonous to literally every domesticated animal" I mean, there's a pretty good chance that [thing humans commonly eat] is at least mildly poisonous to humans, too. One of our quirks as a species is that we think our food is bland if it doesn't have enough poison in it.
Humans have a really weird mix of mundane superpowers.
We're not fast and don't have a lot of natural weaponry but we're bizarrely tolerant to a broad range of toxins to the point that one toxin is considered a morning necessity for some to perform at work. Gotta love us.
stop with all this “man cave” and “she shed” nonsense. Its your evil lair. Embrace it
What came to mind when I read “She shed” :
Mon dieu… She DOES shed

And why did the value plummet, Marissa? Why did it plummet?
Would like to know how exactly she wouldn't fuck up Netflix or Hulu
Yahoo thought Tumblr would be the next PDF

rewatched Nimona yesterday and what I noticed in the finale, after Nimona turned back into herself from the huge black form, her collar (this thing:)
was gone:
which may or may not symbolize that she’s now free of the “shackles” of loneliness, after Ballister told her “You’re not alone”
"[Fictional detective] would've seen through Light Yagami's shit right away" is the best genre of post these days. My favorite is the Columbo one.
Inspector Ganimarde catching Kira completely by accident while on the trail of gentleman burglar Arsene Lupin. That's the story I want.
"You've cracked the curious case of the Note of Death, inspector. They're calling you the greatest detective in the world, greater than Sholmes. Why are you still so troubled?"
"Mon Dieu! Don't you see, you fool? Lupin is still on the loose!"
