subs? dubs?

or a secret third thing: watching media originally from language A (which you do not speak) dubbed into language B (which you do) and subbed in language C (which you also do) and, whenever there is a greater-than-expected discrepancy between the two, pausing to scroll through the subs in languages D-G (where available) in a trigonometry.meme attempt to triangulate the Truth based on consensus, language family, and likelihood of translation from an intermediate language (and also to see which languages are Cheating).

going to make this a Summer* Of Finishing The Novels/Series** I Have Previously Started But For Various Reasons Or No Reason At All Left Off In The Middle Of (SOFTNSIHPSBFVRONRAALOITMO very concise just like me)

For the sake of accountability, behold! A list

Okay there are others but this is already overly ambitious

*For a very flexible definition of Summer that could well stretch into Autumn and perhaps Winter it's fine time is fake

terrible when the emails find you. terrible when you need the emails and they are nowhere to be found.

The Disorderly Knights ch6

It is a truth universally acknowledged that in each book of this series, the young man whom Lymond has chosen to [whatever the fuck verb we're using for Lymond's deal with Will Scott, Robin Stewart, and now Jerott Blyth] will at some point try to kill him.

Sounds like something someone who wants to call him Francis out of a not purely spiritual love would say

The Disorderly Knights ch2

1) Are you suggesting dear Francis is tempting you past your vows, Gabriel? Hm? You'd hardly be the first.

But mainly 2) I do just find it interesting that here, in this first and very literal staring contest between Lymond and Gabriel, it is Gabriel who looks away first.

it's been 3 years and still the blocking of That Scene in cql ep20 takes my breath away

like from the moment the sword is tossed to the tilt of lan wangji's head as he leaves every step every glance every movement every agonising stillness is so heavy with meaning yet so perfectly balanced to become the most beautifully choreographed dance of exquisite fucking agony and I was not normal about it the first time and I will not be normal about it now or maybe ever!!!

*wanders idly by, holding a smoothie and possessed by the spirit of 2008* you know, so much of Twilight makes sense if you understand that Edward is a) insecure about the fact that he is b) a century-old virgin, and c) horny as only an eternal teenager can be. He never had the chance before he died and now he can't have sex with anyone because he can read minds and will know immediately exactly how bad at it he is! He tried to kiss someone once back in 1936 and has never recovered from hearing them think why is he trying to swallow my tongue?! At this point he's starting to think he can hear his own right hand begging him for mercy and it's driving him insane.

What does he see in Bella? The only person alive who might be able to convincingly fake orgasm with him. next question.

ada palmer really just looked at the concept of 'unreliable narrator' and went 'hold my beer (and hand it back to me when, a millennium or so from now, before planetfall somewhere past orion, i call you back from the dead so we can hang out)' didn't she
