i love carlton. Hes autistic, hes stupid, hes smart, hes dedicated, hes strong, hes obsessive, he hates shawn, he loves shawn, he loves juliet, his girl best friend is his all time bestie and his police partner and he would do anything for her, he has a favorite landmine, he refers to his gun as ‘my baby’, he married a woman he arrested, he does historical reenactments on the side, he has lesbian moms, hes a nerd, he follows protocol like its the last thing keeping him from death, but he defies protocol for his friends. Good god he needs a fucking medal.

Eliot Land

On this day, September 26 in 1888, T. S. Eliot was born into the world in St. Louis, Missouri. In honor of his birthday, we present this 1932 First American edition of his Poems 1909-1925, published by Harcourt, Brace and Co. in New York.

Thomas Stearns Eliot (1888-1965) was an American-English poet, dramatist, publisher, essayist, editor, and literary critic. He was a leader in the Modernist poetry movement and is considered one of the greatest poets of the 20th century. He breathed new life into English poetry through his explorations in phrasing, style, and structure. He is most famously known for his 1922 publication, The Waste Land, which is often deemed the most influential poetic work of the 20th century. Among the many awards and honors given to Eliot were the British Order of Merit and the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1948, three Tony Awards in 1950 and 1983 (two posthumously for Cats), and the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1964.

“Hey- whoa man, you haven’t been this tiny in a minute. Are you alright?”

I am not alright.

I am half an inch tall, hopping from letter to letter on my phone, composing a text draft so dramatic it could be on par with Greek myth.

“I blocked Sam,” I say. My (comparatively) giant friend lights up. “And then I unblocked them. And then blocked them. I went back and forth on that til I was about a foot tall.”

“Dude.”

“Now I’m trying to text them and man, the phrasing, it’s-“

And with that, I’m snatched up by two fingertips taller than me. They’ve always been gentle.

“Okay, you’re staying with me til you’re over your ex, buddy. And til you’re a bit taller.”

(And they’ve always been firm, when they’ve needed to.)

They set me on their shoulder, ignoring all protest as they grab my phone and delete the poem I had been composing. My swears don’t even phase them. I know it’s for the best, but dude, that took me like, an hour of cardio to type.

something i really enjoyed about the new pjo show, is that none of the cast look at all how i pictured the character, but that's let me really see them as their own thing. like leah jeffries isn't the annabeth in my head, and she isn't trying to be. she's her own take on the character, and as someone who's been rereading these books since fourth grade, its refreshing

having everyone look so different from what i pictured made it way easier to detach this show from what i was expecting. like since all the leads don't fit my mental image, its way easier to accept that nothing quite does, even the story.

i can suspend my disbelief better because i went in expecting things to be a little different. which is perfect for an adaptation, because they can never capture the picture in anyone's head. but if they help us move away from that, then we can appreciate the show for being its own take on things, expanding and changing things just a little to work better in this new medium.

and for the record i don't think anyone is doing a bad or unfaithful portrayal, far from it. they all talk, move, and act just like i'd always imagined. they're doing a perfect job and i cannot wait for more.

It occurs to me that a pandemic breaking out on the whale ship would be an interesting way to comment on current events. Who it affects, how they deal with it, and whose plans are completely derailed would be fun to see. Also it could bring Leorio more directly into the story since he is in the medical department. If it happens, remember some anon from tumblr called it.

i mean, we've already got Contagion as a metaphorical disease outbreak, but why not? it's not hard to imagine on a vessel crammed full of 200,000 people that some sort of epidemic starts to fester. regardless, i assure you the medical staff aboard the whale are about to have their hands full and leorio is going to have the worst residency imaginable :D

Not to be Shen Yuan on the main but I keep falling sick every other day and it's making work pile up which is stressing me out which in turn is keeping me sick, they should invent something to pull me out of this vicious cycle. Preferably being held by Shizun himself, I'll take the original flavour too? He could insult the sick out of me. And touch will do us both some good

Maybe Shen Bros tending to me will fix me
