Genuses of The Normal One:

The Normal One in their own mind

The Normal One, relatively speaking

The Normal One while they're on the clock

The Normal One if you're not paying attention

The Normal One as long as you don't mention the thing

The Normal One because the subject honestly never came up

The Normal One in the sense that whatever's wrong with them perfectly counterbalances everybody else's dysfunctions

The Normal One because they own a car

percy wanted so badly to not be the hero in his own story that he became the hero in everyone else's

annabeth wanted so badly to find a hero to finish her own story that she became the hero in percy's

So why does every rabbit I’ve ever seen get how these flop beds work, but zazu just does this

you know that post, which I can’t find bc tumblr, about a princess who goes into an arranged marriage fully planning to assassinate her husband and rule alone as queen, but then her husband is like “oh thank god, you’ll manage the country while I study my beetles!” and spends all his time in the lab with his special interest? And then (again, bc tumblr) it’s like, plot twist: instead of being interesting not very good people, she was a benevolent socialist monarch who improved conditions for the poor at the expense of the rich, and he was deliberately breeding a beetle to help farmers?

Kabru/Laois Dungeonmeshi-ass dynamic. I encourage people to treat this as a fic prompt.

King's College Chapel has the world's largest fan vault.

It's considered as one of the world’s finest examples of Perpendicular Gothic English architecture.

Thinking about how both Vox and Alastor use a smile as a mask and tool of control. With Alastor is obvious but with Vox we see this when he's speaking with Velvette about Valentino, most noticably when the door opens up on the way to the Voxtech Angelic Security interview bit, and in Stayed Gone before he devolves into a fit of rage.

Thinking about how Vox pretty easily lets that mask slip though, and especially behind closed doors he doesn't even feel the need to wear it in the first place. Times when he's comfortable and at least not challenged in a way that he needs to assert his control. Why would he if he's just hanging out in his own space with his partners?

But.

Thinking about how Alastor wears it 100% of the time, even when he's alone in his radio tower. Thinking about the conversation he had with Charlie to the beginning of episode 7.

Thinking about how Alastor is so affected by the hold over him that his deal has, that he NEEDS to wear the smile at all times to grasp at any straws of control he feels he has in his own life.

Thinking about how Vox wears his smile for other people but Alastor wears his smile for himself.

POV: the chalkboard in the lab

i had a vision while making a study guide for my calc final that’s tomorrow

what the writing says if anyone can’t read it:

J: What are you doing, V?

V: … integrating the, erm, effect of the hexcore’s magnetic field on electrons that enter the path defined by…

J: Not that, I mean your hand — the flapping?

V: What… do they not teach the right hand rule topside

J: the what???

V: for… hmm… vector directions and current?

J: Oh! I usually just hold my fingers in the directions

V: … one of those hmph
