Tazercraft and Richarlyson: [ Talking about the butterfly effect that led to Cellbit and Roier getting married ]

Richarlyson: The real cupid is pa Mike.

Pac: If Mike was unintentionally the reason why Richas died*, and that caused Roier and Cellbit to— Wait, you're saying I'm single because you died?! Oh what the hell. No, it's fine, that's fine, that's fine, it's fine, I stayed on the ground so that others could fly, it's fine.

Richarlyson: KKKKKKK Pa, you misunderstood me 0_0

i GOTTA see your take on cardinal terzo! :3c

A slightly younger far more optimistic Terzo in his cardinal era. When he had big dreams and ambitions and wasn't yet turned bitter by his limitations as Papa.

I WENT TO OXFORD

It was rainy but basically perfect- and now I have a question.

Anyway, first thing I did, while waiting for my Bodleian tour to start, was do the (very quick) "Harriet finally goes up like straw" walking tour, from the Broad Street gate of Balliol to New College Lane just past the Bridge of Sighs. It was excellent.

Below is the first photo I took- of the intersection of Broad Street and Catte Street (in my copy of the book spelled Cat Street), or the Holywell Corner, as Harriet calls it. This photo is how Peter and Harriet would have seen it, though presumably at night time (and I guess, potentially, on the other side of the street). From here, they'd cross ahead and to the right, and walk on the left side of Catte Street a few yards to New College Lane.

For those who like me have memorized the last page of this book- does anyone notice anything interesting?

I'll set the scene- they're walking back, and Peter drops that

'I have been afraid,' he said simply; 'because I knew that from anything you said to me here, there could be no going back.... But I will ask you now, and if you say No, I promise you that this time I will accept your answer. Harriet; you know that I love you: will you marry me?' The traffic lights winked at the Holywell Corner: Yes; No; Wait. 

Wait what? What traffic lights?!

I can confirm, I walked on all sides of that intersection and couldn't find a traffic light or any indication that one had ever been there. No traffic light, no pedestrian stoplight, no nothing.

I have to assume that, however much Sayers might like metaphors and allegories and such, she wouldn't invent a traffic light for the sake of one. But maybe she did? Or maybe one did exist in 1935 and has been since removed in the name of some kind of renewal project? Is it related to the New Bodleian (now Weston) library being built starting in 1937 on that corner, or totally unrelated?

I'm not going to pretend that any of this matters, just say that a) I am always interested in things like this, whether they are important or not, and if anyone knows please tell me and b) it's a tribute to Sayers that so many of the scenes in the book felt so vivid that seeing the locations in person felt like returning to them- and that something feeling even slightly off from that could be jarring.

Bonus photo, to thank you for bearing with me- picture two Senior Members of the university closely and passionately embracing just past the bridge over there.

>>> When he's six millennia older than you, your mentor, lover and enemy all in one

I post the great majority of Raksha and Raphael's lore over my nsfw Twitter but sometimes I remember to do it on here too soooo

Raksha is Baalzebul's son but has been raised by a human who was essentially Frollo V.2 so you can tell the amount of religious guilt they have Raphael takes an interest in them (for egoistic reasons at first) and slowly realizes that he caught feelings. Drama ensues (neither is normal about it).

[lilacpaperbird]

protestants miss out on the catholic experience of being at church and looking at the crucifix above the altar and thinking jesus looked kinda hot and then feeling guilty immediately after. crucifixes with a weepy, bloody, half-naked jesus >>> bare crosses with no jesus

Judas x Jesus is just batjokes for the bible fandom

[h3rself]

he posted an ig story with him grading some works and lots of other documents laying around on his desk

you actually can't see much besides lots of paper but i did notice a bit of his laptop in the corner of the photo and there's my playlist's thumbnail!!!!!!!

i think i accidentally created a new die hard fan of hozier

[leonardalphachurch]

do we think tucker would look at the director as what church would look like if he grew older and be like “phew i dodged a bullet” or would he be like “oh no he’s STILL hot”

[pulsarex]

genuinely surprised that i havent seen anyone compare the episode 34 flashback to shitty work/grind/crunch culture. i thought it would be the first thing that would come to mind heh
