Villains discussing ages

All: *Discussing all their ages calmly*

All: *Turns to Hook who is silently reading*

Cruella: "Hey Hook! How old are you?"

Hook: *Looks up from his book* "What?"

Hades: "She asked how old are you Hook."

Hook: "Why?"

Cruella: "Just answer to question!"

Hook: "Okay okay! Uhhh- I'm like... Oh god, maybe 210? 215? Honestly I lost count after 150." *Goes back to reading his book*

All: *Silence*

Jafar: "... What?"

"They don't really talk. To each other, or to us. See, as a family, we never really talked. So when I married a man who also was unable to talk to me, I didn't recognize the danger in that. I never felt the danger at all. Until rather than speaking to me in words and sentences, he spoke to me in empty dark eyes, and a rough touch, in order to convey the words he couldn't say. We didn't really talk. I try to do my best to not be like him, and them. But I'm still learning. How to speak what's on my mind without burying it, how to tell the honest truth whether it hurts someone else or not. I'm still learning. But I like to think that talking sometimes, whether it makes sense or not. Is improvement. It is isn't it? To try to speak even when your tongue is caught up in a mess. Even when your thoughts say things that scare you, it's improvement right? To talk anyway? I like to think so. See, we never really talked. So I'm still learning how to. Forgive me, I'm still learning."

I immediately swallow it whole. (I don't know how to handle a changing situation and I am very hungry)

mid-conversation I toss a pistol onto the table not to suggest or imply anything but just to change the situation a little

One conversation can fix a lot of things.

A relationship can continue to work and thrive even if a marriage proposal was refused, provided that both partners approach the situation with open communication and understanding. After a proposal refusal, it is crucial for the couple to engage in honest conversations about their feelings, concerns, and the reasons behind the refusal. Respect for each other's boundaries and emotions is paramount during this time, avoiding any pressure to change one's mind about marriage. Instead, they should focus on exploring their compatibility and shared goals, giving each other space to process their emotions and reevaluate the relationship.

Texting as the Apparent  Enemy of Conversations

JUNE 2018

Whenever I find myself hopelessly engrossed into yet another feature film, I find that what usually lures me in are the intense interactions that take place between the movie’s main characters. Listening in on their riveting conversations is something I can truly enjoy, and it’s an aspect of the moviemaking process that has remained intact despite the emergence of all the high-tech features that can turn any film into a spectacle. It speaks well to the value of dialogue that even the blockbusters need to have interesting exchanges to keep the audiences engaged. Recently, I’ve been reading about how texting is supposedly diminishing the art of the conversation, but is there any truth to that notion? The biggest knock on texting has always been its supposed adverse effects on language. Experts say that the prevalence of improper grammar in text conversations is an indicator that more and more people are becoming more comfortable talking in this manner than they are in the correct and proper way, but are people truly that easily swayed? A near endless amount of text messages are sent on a daily basis from almost every corner of the globe, but I certainly don’t remember the vast majority of them being illiterate. It’s true that certain people have taken the texting lingo and have begun to use it in daily personal conversations, but they are by and large the very vocal minority. More people are still cognizant of leaving the texting lingo where it should be, and they continue to talk just as their English teachers taught them to. Blaming a medium of communication for faulty conversation between friends seems unfair, and it certainly undercuts all the good things that texting has brought to the table. Texting has shrunk the world in a figurative sense, allowing people to communicate across great distances with greater ease and greater convenience. It’s a significant improvement over the hassle presented by phone calls, and it’s why it has proven to be so popular. It’s true that texting has the unintended side effect of producing a pseudo language, but that is not the main issue here. The art of conversation is not being lost, it is just taking on a new form, adapting to the spirit of the times in a way. It’s a significant change for sure, but texting has been very good to people so far, the responsibility to maintain the art of the common conversation does not fall on the shoulders of texting. It falls on the shoulders of the people who actually speak the language.

What Colin Calls Penelope In Bridgerton

Between Part 1 and 2 of season 3, I made a post about wanting to see the numbers on what Colin calls Penelope throughout the show because I thought there was a significant increase in the use of "Penelope" over "Pen" as their relationship matured.

Well, I did a very quick rewatch of seasons 1 and 2 (basically fast-forwarding to the parts I knew Colin and Pen would either interact or Colin would mention Penelope) and a rewatch of season 3. AND I HAVE THE NUMBERS!

So here's a breakdown on what Colin calls Penelope through all three seasons of Bridgerton. I'll give the total as well as if it was said directly to Penelope or to other people.

(If someone wants to make a chart or something with all of this data, I would not hate that)

Pen

Season 1- 8 (directly)

Season 2- 10 (directly)

Season 3- 23 (directly); 1 (indirectly); 1 (unclear. He said it to Dream Penelope); 25 total.

Total number of times Colin has called Penelope "Pen"- 43

The rest is below the cut because this post got long!!

Miss Featherington

Season 1- 1 (indirectly)

Season 2- none

Season 3- 1 (directly); 2 (indirectly); 3 total

Total number of times Colin has called Penlope "Miss Featherington"- 4

Penelope

Season 1- 1 (directly)

Season 2- 1 (directly); 1 (indirectly); 1 (unclear. He was talking to Penelope but quoting himself--"I said to myself, 'If Penelope can see me this way...'"); 3 total

Season 3- 5 (directly); 22 (indirectly); 27 total

Total number of times Colin has called Penelope "Penelope"- 31

Miss Penelope

Season 2- 1 (indirectly)

Total number of times Colin has called Penelope "Miss Penelope"- 1

Penelope Featherington

Season 1- none

Season 2- 2 (indirectly)

Season 3- 3 (directly)

Total number of times Colin has called Penelope "Penelope Featherington"- 5

Auntie Penelope

Season 3- 1 (indirectly)

Total number of time Colin has called Penelope "Auntie Penelope"- 1

If I lumped "Miss Penelope," "Penelope Featherington," and "Auntie Penelope," into the same group with "Penelope," then Colin has called her Penelope a total of 38 times throughout the series. Which means "Pen" is still the winner.

And if any of you were curious, he called her "my bride-to-be" 1 time (directly), his "future wife" 2 times (directly and indirectly), "my wife" 2 times (both indirectly), and of course, as we all know, he called her "Mrs. Bridgerton" 1 time in the final episode.

Thinking about it, Liu Qingge is

extremely blunt

straightforward

and his first and only solution to problems is to punch them

Spends most of his time off fighting shit because it's better than socialising

Liu Qingge understands, and is accepted by, demon society so fucking fast

Like he can socialise with humans and he's aware of the rules but he also hates them and thinks they're dumb. He'd much rather settle things by punching

Whereas with the demons their actions and behaviours make sense to him and he responds correctly in most situations (by punching)

So he's a human running on demon software

But I also think he'd be EXTREMELY offended if anyone pointed this out

Regardless of whether or not you think bingliushen makes sense there is definitely a faction of the demons who are pushing for Luo Binghe to take Liu Qingge as Second Husband

They don't even understand why he says no because "you two openly flirted for 5 years!"

The Goat™ | Next

First, thank you so much to @ellemant for helping me BIG TIME with my vision for this coffee spot. You came in clutch with the PERFECT decos that gave the perfect vibe.

Lot Credit (again because this is the coffee shop connected to the shell that became the new Drake Estate)

Finally, in reference to what Darren mentioned about how close Sulani and Tomarang are, in my brain it looks something like this

with Sulani in place of the Philippines and Tomarang to the West of that.

I don't quite understand the listing on this 1917 bank building in Tekoa, WA. It's empty and looks like it hasn't been converted, but the listing says that it has 3bds & 2ba. It also looks like you get the entire building, but the listing calls it a condominium. It's got some pretty cool original features, though, and it's listed for $247K. Let's see what we have, here.

So, technically, this would be your main living area. I like the blue accents, all the original wood features and arch by the front door. They left the desk in the middle, and I think that would have to go. I also like the original mosaic flooring.

Now, here's the bank vault right on the main floor.

So, is this one of the 3 bedrooms? Look, they left a cool smaller safe in here, too.

But, wait! If you buy today, we'll double your order and you'll also get a second, secret vault with a bathroom. I don't see a shower or tub in here, though.

Maybe I would keep the desk. It matches the loft. This place needs a kitchen, so maybe it would make a nice island.

I'm confused. Is this considered a bedroom? The wood is nice, but there's an open loft above.

Stairs to the loft.

I still don't see where they see 3bds and 2ba.

Maybe this is the 3rd bedroom? I like the exposed brick, but it's way too narrow and has no window to be a bedroom.

There's a very large basement, but that furnace looks shot.

It's a huge space.

And, they left all their crappy archives for the new owner. The listing promised a secret passage. Is this where it leads?

I don't know, but I don't think that I'd pay $247 for this building. I don't see 3bds, 2ba, it needs a new HVAC system, plus a kitchen. 2 thumbs down.
