I’m watching episode 8 of mismag 2 and freaking out

ever since they started going to bed I’ve been running around unable to control myself at the situation

like realistically I would already know if something HUGE happened but I’m still panicking over the idea

I was thinking about why Carry On works for me when typically I like minimal exposition! I like being dropped into a story and figuring it out as we go along. Some of my favorite books are like that. And a lot of Carry On is spent on the past, musing over memory & history. I think it works for me because it feels very grounded in the Simon’s personality and emotional experience. He truly doesn’t believe he has a future… so of course he treads over the past.

That’s part of why it works for me: it feels emotionally honest.

In the story, this backwards focus serves several purposes: it orients us at the end of the heroes journey (think of your life flashing before your eyes before you die) and it builds up the color and weight of Watford & by extension the world of magic. It suspends us in Watford’s history & Simon’s longing. Which I think creates a nice tension w the end, we’ve spent the book thinking about Simon’s story and what it means for him that he has lived this life and how it seems totally at odds with a future. And we know that he loves magic, we feel it viscerally in his descriptions. And then he loses a heroic end AND a life with magic. He gains a future but it’s not any kind of future he might have imagined. This then carries us into the next books where things are so radically different, which for all their sadness feel more hopeful than Carry On lol

*(and the rest of the series but i have a whole other list of things I love for those)

Having previously been a huge fan of Dan and Phil and now reengaging with my love for Danny Phantom, it is REALLY weird that two fandoms adopted “phans” and “phandom”

Like the reaction I had seeing it be used for Danny Phantom was an experience. It still throws me off guard when I see it in the wild.

I love posts that are like “imagine your f/o picking you up” because they’re meant to be so sweet and gentle but every time I get picked up by a friend my brain just… shuts down. Like for whatever reason my brain physically fails to compute the situation. I cannot imagine what it would be like with Ajax

Whenever I saw those professional photos of total solar eclipses in the past I was always like this is Amazing but there’s no way it actually looks like that in real life. BUT IT DOES. IT LITERALLY LOOKS LIKE THR PHOTOS AND EVEN BETTER. YOU CAN SEE THE RED PROMINENCES WITH THE NAKED EYE. YOU CAN SEE THE FILAMENTS AND THE LINES IN THE CORONA. THE MOON IS THE BLACKEST BLACK LIKE A BLACK HOLE AND THE CONTRAST WITH THE CORONA IS UNREAL

WAIT I forgot to tell y'all about what happened at badminton practice yesterday--

The other team was getting ready to serve and suddenly the birdie from the court next to us did a pop fly thing and came down right on top of me and I. I reflexively stuck my hand out and caught it.

But then my brain short-circuited and I didn’t realize the birdie was from the other court; I thought the other team had passed it to me and so I was like "???? IT'S YOUR SERVE!" and threw it at the guy across the net that was already holding a shuttlecock and just. hit him in the face with it.
