"Another self-referential touch comes at a scene in a tavern when Sir Percy, in disguise as a fat gap-toothed cross-eyed sailor, places a pepper pot on Chauvelin’s table (Way, p. 196). This apparently innocuous gesture, carried out with slow deliberation and accompanied by Sir Percy’s distinctive laugh, produces an instantaneous reaction from Chauvelin. He clenches his knife and fork, his cheeks turn ashen grey, and he strides quickly out of the room. This is a double humiliation, betraying emotional weakness and underlining Sir Percy’s power over him. Having failed to penetrate the disguise, he is depicted as a gullible victim of the Englishman."
From Baroness Orczy's Scarlet Pimpernel: A publishing history by Sally Dugan
*pulling out my megaphone* BARONESS ORCZY'S POOR LITTLE MEOW MEOW
*puts away megaphone*
Actually, no, I need to-*pulls out megaphone again* DO Y'ALL THINK BARONESS WAS AWARE THAT AS HER UNIVERSE BECAME SERIALIZED, THE SISYPHEAN NATURE OF THE VILLAIN'S BATTLE AGAINST THE HERO WOULD MAKE HIM INCREASINGLY PITIABLE? DID SHE REALISE THAT SHE WAS SLOWLY TURNING HER VILLAIN INTO A SYMPATHETIC PROTAGONIST AND MAKING HER HERO A TERRIFYING, MERCILESS FORCE OF NATURE?
#The Scarlet Pimpernel#Or am I just insane?#Sally Dugan#Baroness Orczy#Armand Chauvelin#I'm not saying he's not a villain#I'm just saying that when the hero is both morally and narratively invincible#and the villain is increasingly displaying signs of PTSD from their encounters (this is the most important part)#It does something to the readers' perception of these characters#Much like Wile E. Coyote has our pity even if he continues to be the bad guy#Oh god ... they are EXACTLY like Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote. I feel like I just unlocked forbidden knowledge.#By the way Dugan's book is very good but she has all these little inaccuracies that bother me -#- like in the quote above Chauvelin strides out quickly FOLLOWING PERCY but Dugan makes it sound like he's running away

so once me and my wife were watching a documentary where a snake ate like a million eggs. that snake just went to fucking town on eggs. and the snake made the eggs look so good that i kept thinking about it, and thinking about it, and thinking about it, and eventually it was 11pm and i ran out of willpower and decided to eat one (1) singular raw egg just to prove to myself that the snake was surely a liar.
the snake was not a liar. texture is like, super important to me and raw eggs are very Texture so i had another one, and then another one, and then another one, and eventually i ran out of eggs.
i had like, fifteen raw eggs.
i didnt really know how to explain this momentary madness to my wife, so my Plan was to put all the eggshells into a grocey bag, and then throw that grocery bag in the dumpster, and if she never noticed that would be Excellent and if she noticed immediately i could lie and say that the eggs went bad.
except i cant lie very good, and of course with murphys law being such, i got salmonella.
so i threw up a lot and my wife asked me what poisoned me so and i tried very hard to dodge the question but i was oozing shame like oil from a room temperature cheese and eventaully i gave in and told her everything and to her enormous credit she was more flabbergasted than actually upset. she did make me promise to not eat any more raw eggs, which i have stuck to, and she gives me weird looks during nature documentaries now as if desire was the only thing keeping me from eating thousands of pounds of krill anyway i made a joke earlier about being able to eat my age in eggs and my sister in law in law made a drawing to comemorate the moment and also because it was my birthday. she's excellent. thank you 10000000% @cintailed. you should all visit her page and admire her work.
#i feel a kinship with that snake#would that i could be a simple tube#and eat my fill of eggs#but being a person is rather nice too#my wife is a saint#and i promise that most of the time she is the goblin and i am the Serious Guy#but i had a little pique of insanity and you know what it was my junior year of college#and i deserved to just go a little insane#you spent 65 hours a week being Rational and then you go home and eat like twenty raw eggs

Anyone knows that feeling when a medical condition that's been making you suffer so so bad starts to get better due to medical intervention and you're like "That's weird. I feel better. That's weird. It feels like I'm not supposed to. Surely it is a test. If I relax and admit that I'm getting better, if I dare to do a nice daily activity, surely I'll immediately be in pain. Surely, right then and there, the world will laugh at me. It must be just a cruel joke and the punchline is me thinking I might enjoy life again." and therefore feel super anxious and like pain HAS to strike any second now?
Or is that just me?
#idk i think i feel like...ok today...and I can't do anything regardless because I feel incredibly anxious about it#it's like... imagine if there was a tornado. it was raging for eg a week straight. and suddenly there's no tornado.#like... that'd feel weird right? you'd probably think 'better not go outside anyway; it's odd.'#right?#or am i just insane?

Personally I think that Azula should have been redeemed simply so that she can become Zuko's horrible little advisor who whispers evil little plans to him so that he can do the exact opposite
#the only reason she gets this job is bc he doesnt trust her anywhere else in the palace#its like enrichment for manipulative girls#also so that he can set her on asshole deligates like a rabid little lapdog#she just has mean fuckin pomeranian energy that thing bites then lights you on fire w flames so hot theyre cold#i think their sibling dynamic could be sooo fucking funny its insane#azula#azula atla#atla#avatar the last airbender#zuko#atla zuko#firelord zuko#DISCLAIMER I AM YET TO READ THE COMICS SO IDK WHAT HAPPENS TO HER IN THEM#also long overdue for a rewatch of the show its insane

I feel like there are a lot of people out there who needs to hear this:
If you dropped out of school because of diagnosed (or undiagnosed) ADHD, Autism, ADD, OCD, Dyslexia, Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar disorder, psychotic disorders, schizophrenia etc… You did not fail. The education system failed you.

No you’re not hearing me. It’s the way that entire gala is referencing this panel. He’s canonically cosplaying Viktor Nikiforov. It’s all from the halloween party comic. Are you listening. Do you hear me. They healed them. This panel was the only gumlee moment for like 7 years. Do you understand.
#gumlee#adventure time#am I insane for remembering this#prince gumball#Marshall Lee#Fionna and cake#this is my life#Fionna and cake spoilers#THEY NEVER FINISHED THIS CONVO BTW WE JUST NEVER WENT BACK TO THAT#yuri on ice

One of the perks of living in Gotham is that occasionally you’ll walk past a Wayne having the most batshit insane conversation anybody has ever had.
Walk past Dick Grayson on the street and hear him say into his phone, “I don’t think he’s anti-vax, but Superman is definitely not vaccinated.”
Stand outside of the downtown WE building and see Tim Drake walk out with his tall friend only to pause and say, “Hold on, I just got the mental image of Lex Luthor pregnant. Thanks for that.”
A lucky few who ride the same subway line as the newest Wayne edition, overheard Duke tell Stephanie that living in Wayne Manor is, “Alright, but when I moved in Jason and Damian gave me a knife and said I had to kill Tim. Said it was tradition.”
“It kinda is. Did you do it?”
“No!” Duke says, to the relief of the overhearers. “Get this…he stabbed himself.”
“…yeah, I should’ve guessed that.”
The downside to living in Gotham is literally everything else.
#the second best thing about living in Gotham is overheating the robins have the most batshit insane convo you’ve ever heard#overhearing*#Duke showed up at Wayne Manor was given a knife and when he told Tim about it#Tim took the knife and stabbed him self (a little) and then shouted to Bruce that Duke stabbed him#because and I quote ‘they won’t leave you alone until you do it’#Duke was just like: WTF am I getting myself into here#batfam#Gotham#dick Grayson#Tim drake#Duke Thomas

i hope everyone in nintendo’s management department dies and goes to hell no matter what and i’m not kidding
#WERE LOSING YUZU AND CITRA. I DONT KNOW IF YOU ALL UNDERSTAND HOW INSANE THIS IS#game emulation enables piracy yes but it’s also an INCREDIBLY powerful archival tool.#there are plenty of games out there that only exist in their original formats due to emulation.#this lawsuit has HORRIBLE implications for video game history. it makes it incredibly easy for companies to scorched earth their products#if they’re not profitable enough. ART IS GOING TO BE LOST BECAUSE OF THIS. GAMES PEOPLE WORKED INCREDIBLY HARD ON#it won’t just happen to bad games. it won’t just happen to old games. they will use this to keep their remake/virtual console model going#forever and you will never be able to play your favorite games in their true original forms ever again.#i am fucking INSANELY mad rn. capitalism is the death of art fr#personal

“gay son or thot daughter,” you start to ask, but you can’t even finish your sentence because cosmo and wanda heard “gay son” and immediately started cheering and clapping
#fairly oddparents#fairly oddparents a new wish#pansy-art#When your world doesnt have homophobia so you (incorrectly) thought maybe#just once#you had ONE THING about yourself that your parents wouldnt need to be insanely overly supportive about#I dont really want my account to gain numbers here because i am Not gonna post that much about them#But i blacked out and ended up accidentally spending like 6 hours on this so i need oyher people to laugh so its worth it /hj
