a while ago I read this sci-fi short story from the 50s where a guy is kidnapped and interrogated by aliens using a very sophisticated lie detector, but he realizes that the lie detector works off technical truth, and with some careful phrasing and misdirection, he manages to make them believe that humans are a race of immortal, overpowered, omniscient telepathic beings. and it works.

my favorite part is when he tells them that humans are "capable of transportation without the aid of spaceships or any vehicles, just by using mental power to control physical matter". it's true, we can. it's called walking.

Personally I think that Telemachus permanently and irreversibly changed Athena for the better, more on that at twelve

There’s something to be said, that even after twenty years, Penelope looks out the window, sees a storm, and says, ah yes, that must be my darling husband, pissing off the gods.

I saw the new Wicked movie and daaaaamn that was very doomed Yuri of them. Especially love how Glinda was just straight up having a manic episode during the “Popular” musical number like yes you’ve just discovered human empathy and did a matching mating bird dance with the green girl at the club. Now you’re swimming on the floor and hanging from the chandelier and doing splits in the hallway. Bitch, you’re in love

the whole academic rivalry aspect of galinda and elphaba's situationship in what is this feeling? actually makes so much more sense if you think of galinda as someone who genuinely defines herself not only over looks and popularity but also academic achievement. in the book she is the first girl from her region to be accepted to shiz. she is fucking smart. she wants to be a sorceress. then elphaba shows up and immediately overshadows her at the thing SHE'S supposed to be good at. and galinda goes frothing at the mouth insane because HOW. also she looks hot but mainly HOW.
