Juliet L'mous. they/them. borges, hamlet, teaching, christmas, and friends at the table. making a new home again and again

I am always often thinking of Dorian's line when you first reach Skyhold in dai. "No one will thank me, whatever happens. No one will thank you, either. You know that, yes?"

why does Eight Antidote go from "fun fact about hummingbirds" to "you should leave" on a dime?

Following this, today we've got an episode on THIS IS HOW YOU LOSE THE TIME WAR (2020).

this summer on I'll Be Pod for Castmas we've got an episode breaking down THE KNIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS (2019), the fourth of three Vanessa Hudgens netflix original christmas movies. A festive look at time travel romance, full of ritual and reward!

i've started saying "verisimilitude" when something has the traces of reality to it. and while it comes up often in theatre history, it's really reentered my lexicon lately from Twelve Azalea choking it out in disbelief in the judiciary's mortuary

a great classic example is Into the Woods — at the end of Act I, the cast is confident that they've "reached the right conclusions/and we got what we deserve", and can live happily ever after! action is well-rewarded with a wish well-fulfilled

assign yourself as an envoy tasked with an impossibility in the middle of a war. put yourself through multiple anomalies of time and space to pick up your situationship along the way. justify to yourself and every political entity that actually you need her for this impossible task, and so do they

my solution? a .35 second transition to this particular color of blue. from any gamestate to this and back and is a small enough contrast that it doesn't seem to trigger anything, and .35 is as fast as I can go without it feeling "flash flash". hopefully for people with normal brains its forgettable
