Okay!

I think 7 is the best single-digit number to end on when you want to create a fun, random number in a story because it is so off-putting. Even numbers are too smooth, 1 is too singular, 3 is the magic number, 5 is always fine, and 9 can be divided down into 3 so it’s not the off-putting-est. So when I come up with stories that require a random made up number, I try to always end on 7

^ Also because 7 is the scariest single number. When it comes down to it’s biggest competitor, 9, 7 8 9, which is why 6 is afraid of 7. 🙀 7 is hardcore!

“Live action” movies like Disney’s remake of the Lion King are not actually live action because nothing within that film is live action at all. It’s all cgi. So it should be called “cgi action” movies. …wait do you not know what Disney is? Oh wait, oops that’s right NEVERMIND SKIP THIS ONE NEXT POINT!

Books are just intricately tattooed slices of dead tree carcasses that we stare at for hours and hallucinate over. The best ones make us hallucinate over them long after we are no longer in their presence, and can cause heavy withdrawal and hangover symptoms when we no longer read them. Books are often considered highly addictive 😸

Do you ever wonder how different foods were first made? And I don’t even mean super complicated dishes - just looking at nettle pudding’s ingredients (which is one world or another’s oldest known food recipe)… sorrel, watercress, dandelion leaves, young nettle leaves, chives, barley flour, salt. Who looked at those items (that COULD be edible), decided to chop ‘em and grind ‘em and mix ‘em all up, throw in some water because why not?, put that weird-ass concoction into a linen and then that linen into a pan with or without simmering meat of some sort, and then cook it? Like???????? And this was a recipe from 8000 years ago?????? I can’t decide if they were geniuses or if all of these discoveries were the accidental gems born of triple-dog-dares given after one too many drinks because beer is even older than nettle pudding

I believe ravens are the more mysterious, distinguished, elegant birds that you would be happy to have as an intelligent corvid companion while crows are the ones that use their brains to pickpocket and then fight raccoons in a twst-brand Denny’s parking lot. They are both incredibly smart, but they have different vibes. I mean, just look at Dire Crowley. Is he refined? No. Can I see him tripping over a banana peel while scrambling to pick up a shiny rock? Yes. The only thing crows have going for them in the ‘cool’ factor is that a group of them is called a murder. But other than that? Ravens > Crows

Mayonnaise is, in fact, an instrument. No I will not be elaborating further on this one 😺

What do you think, Lilia? I’m having thoughts that think too thoroughly! 😸
