hmm modern day, gil definitely has a key to tolys’s house but almost never uses it, he pretty much always just breaks in sfdfd

🔪: what's the weirdest topic you researched for a writing project?

amusingly i don’t think this qualifies as weird by writer standards so much, but i am always interested in reading about drugs lol. it started the first time i read catch-22, there was a passing mention of ether and i didn’t know what it was…less interested in inhalants these days but i can tell you about pervitin. make of that what you will. (i mean i can also tell you about inhalants and how wrong hollywood gets them sfdfd but)

hypothermia is probably the most uhh environmentally-induced danger i’ve researched in depth. again idt it’s that weird, but i do know a fair amount about it lol

and i tend to get caught on looking up really mundane things like “when was whitewash invented” “what did the transit of [city] look like in [year]” “how many pieces of fabric would it take to construct this garment” etc (that last one can be surprisingly hard to find info on for modern—post industrialization—western fashion btw! but it can tell you a lot about the resources available at the time and such, and can testify to how old certain garments are eg hanfu, the body of which is traditionally only made with one piece of fabric—so there will only be one seam down one side of it—which indicates it’s pretty old. kimono likewise the main body is made with two pieces of fabric, and there is a seam down the center back which will usually be covered by the obi…etc…)
